Saturday morning Mr.. Benjamin
Amos, who lived near Glouster, was
found dead in cornfield near his
house. 1t was for time supposed
that he had been murdered, as
there were some dark discolora-
tions on his head and face, and
suspicion fastened upon a neighbor
but on examination by physician
his death was pronounced to have
been due to heart disease.-Athens
Herald.
The State Journal correspondent
at McConnellsville speaking of
it, says that ."while working in a
corn field he, (Amos) was attacked
by two women with axes, who
butchered him up in a manner
more atrocious than the White
Chapel murders"
The Athens Journal Correspon-
dent says:
Last Saturday morning, about
10 o'clock, news was received here
that Frank Amos, an old and quiet
citizen living about one half mile
north of Trimble, had been killed.
Constable Cook o. Glouster hurried
to the spot and arrested Mrs.
Hampton, a neighbor, who was
seen running from the spot where
the old man was lying. Further
examination of the case developed
the fact that she, Mrs. Hampton,
had started toward the place where
the old man was at work declaring
that she would kill the old "S-of a
B." But Justice Atkinson, be-
fore whom she was taken, finding
no evidence against her to convict
discharged her. She was again
again arrested on Sunday evening
for having made threats to kill or
pOl5Ou UIio OtQ iluit VI OGhCIo VI ChC
family. A post mortem examina-
tion was held on Monday the 18th;
but no marks were found on the
body of the old man sufficient to
cause his death. There were how
ever some bruises and scratches
about the head and face. Mrs.
Hampton is a desperate woman
and has been arrested several
times within the past year for dis
orderly conduct and disturbance of
the peace, and just what should
be done with her is yet to be de-
termined. Mr.. Amos was very
old, and quiet, peaceble inoffen-
sive citizen, who could nor would
not harm anyone. His health had
been very good for some time past
and his death coming SO sudden,
has been such a shock to his wife
that she has been confined to her
bed ever since and may not re-
cover.

 Every seat in the church was full at the medal contest, showing growing in- terest in these contests. No better meth cd, if as good, has ever been used tolhelp the temperance cause. The selections are all choice temperance literature, many of them appealing to the heart with great force and, as these pieces are com mitted to memory by the young people, with the endeavor to bring them before the public in as perfect recital as pos sible, much more study and application must be given, whicE cannot but make an impression, lasting and deep, in favor of temperance. Again, the friends of each speaker, being interested in their favorites, pay close attention to all and not only do they listen to good recita- tions, but the subject matter also, made thus interesting, would finger in the memory of the people longer than more eloquent words uttered by some temper ance orator, stranger, in whom there is no personal interest.

Mrs Eliza Hinman.

Mrs Eliza Beach Hinman was born in Trumbull on the 4th of August, l799 She was the eldest of family of F children. At the age of 23, she married Levi Hinman, who was II years her sen for. Mrs Hlnman was the mother of six children, four daughters and two sons, all but one of whom lived to grow up At the age of 37, she was left widow with little means of support. She strug- gled through over 90 years of widow hood, however, spending more than half the years with her children, all of whom have been dead more than 20 years. All except one of them died of consumption early in married life, as their father had died before them. The 10 years previous to 1886, Mrs Hinman spent in Southbury and South Britain and, since that time, she has had home with her grandson, George $. Abbott, in Waterbury. She passed away in sleep after a short illness in the early morning of November l3, and was buried by the side of her son, Isaac Hlnman, In the Riverside cemetery. She leaves one brother, Luther Hinman of New Milford, and three grandchild- ren, Miss Anna Hinman of South Brit ain, George s. Abbott of Waterbury and William N. Abbott of Columbus, O., all of whom were present to pay the last tribute of respect to their aged grand mother.

Once the main thoroughfare for travel from Newtown and Monroe to South bury, Bennett's bridge has been a source of rich revenue to it's owners and the stock was once held at high figures. It is said that for years the stockholders realized 10 per cent from their invest ment. But of late travel over the bridge has grown less and less and, particularly since the completion of the new iron bridge between Newtown and Southbu- ry, the stock has fallen lower and lower, Under the law passed by the last Legis. lature, both Newtown and Southbury have transferred their right and title to Bennett's bridge to the counties of Fair. field and New Haven, paying, it is said, $500, to individual owners of the stock to release their claims. The commis sioners for both counties, who examined the. bridge, this week, condemned it and new bridge will doubtless be erected soon. The new bridge will cost, proba bly, from $l5, 1000 to $20,OO0 and will bt paid for by the counties. Newtown'; share of the expense will thus be very small.

The attempt to make out Monroe one of the worst of New England country towns, with no end of murders and di- vorces, will fall fiat with all who know the good people of the town. Monroe has it's share of human sin and misery, but is no license town and that fact alone shows that there Is some kind ot moral sentiment. The fact Is that Mon- roe is no worse than the average New England town in it's decadence, but, while it's crimes Haunt their bloody shirts In the winds of Heaven, it's modest vir- tues shine resplendent chiefly at its hos. pitable homes located on many hill beautiful for situation.
