Mir Blakeman, not needing help, directed him to neighbor. He soon came back and reported that he was go- ing to work for this neighbor, but had "a Of room to make repairs. This was granted and he soon after left. saying that he would go to Mir Booths, where he was to work. It was not till evening that it was discovered that money and valuables to the amount of about $40 were missing from different parts of the house. DuringRthe night of October 19, the store of Mrs Samuel Morse was bur glarized, the articles taken consisting of canned corned beef, tomatoes, sardines, five or six pounds of tea, cigars and ci- garettes and $2 or $3 in pennies. Next day, il boat belonging to B.. G. Ryder was found at Stratford and in it nearly all the stolen goods. X man answering Fairchild's description was seen to leave the boat early on the morning of the 18th. His whereabouts have since re- mained unknown.

In rendering the piece, Miss Hubbell really excelled herself. Many have expressed surprise at the queer name given the society, though all think it decidedly unique and appropriate.

Work of the American Board.

Rev Mir Hoyt gave condensed report. Sunday morning, of the incidents of in- terest in connection with the recent an nual meeting of the American Board at Dr Taylor's Broadway Tabernacle, New York. The results of so years labor showed S24 100000 expended, 2000 mis- sionaries sent out and 200, ,000 souls brought to the Christian faith. The work in Mexico and Spain was promising, while in Austria government prejudice held the work in check. The work in strictly pagan lands was full of facts to encourage mission workers and India was supplied with educational, evangel- istic, medical and ministerial workers who gave glowing reports of the field and the address of a native Brahman, convert of high caste and prominence. was an interesting feature. The Board look upon Japan as their best field of la bor. A seminary there has 900 native pupils, of whom 12 publicly professed Christ during the past year. 4 native, whose father had been murdered by hir
 ed assassnS of the rulers. because of his
 turning to Christianity. told thrilling
 story of his experience and of the mis- sion work among his countrymen. The Japan mission was one of special interest here, as the ladies, through their church church mission organization, were work CTS and personal acquaintances took prominent place in the work done there. A Zulu mission in Africa gave not a sin gle convert for the first 10 years labor,
 but then the tide turned and churches and Christian usages prevailed in hum dreds of communities. The work of the Woman's Board was briefly noticed and, in the few years since organized, it has sent out 500 workers and expended sl0,- OO0.O 900. Brief reference was made to the discussion which has risen with refer ence to the doctrinal opinions of some of the members and it was hoped that the committee of nine elected to inquire into the management of affairs at the mission ary rooms at Boston would be able to see some way to avoid the tempest which seemed brewing.

STAMFORD.

! COAL MERCHANT WHEELER DROWNED. 4 Our community was shocked, Tuesday, to learn of the drowning in the Housa- tonic river of William Ezra Wheeler, our enterprsing coal merchant. Capt Nell 1 son Wakelee reports that he had barge in tow bound for Derby. He saw MT Wheeler attach q small boat, in which he had started to go up the river to the pa per mill, to the barge for tow. After reaching point in the river just above the old camp meeting ground, those on the barge heard a cry and, looking back, saw Mr Wheeler's boat rolling over in the river and MT Wheeler just going down. They got into their own small boat and proceeded to his assistance as quickly as possible, but, before reaching him, he sank for the last time. No one saw the boat turn over and just how the accident happened will probably never be known. Mir Wheeler was an expert swimmer and knew every part of the have brought him to the side of the chan mel where he could have waded out. The suppOsition is that he must have struck the boat as he fell out and become par tially stunned. The body, at this pres ent writing, has not been recovered.
 Mir Wheeler was son. of William Sam uel Wheeler, who lived near Peck's mills and was one of our old and respected tOwnspeOple. The son, William E., mar ried the daughter of the late Gideon Tom linson, by whom he has three children living. He was veteran of the late war and was a long time confined in a rebel prison; from the effects of this imprison- ment, he has never fully recovered. He was an active member of the Congrega- tional church and will be greatly missed in church, social and business circles.
 Another account says that Mir Wheeler was drowned in the Housatonic river near the cove, on what is locally called the Oregon Haul. Wishing to come up the river, he caught a rope over the side of barge of lumber that was being tow ed up to Birmingham and made it fast to the boat he was in. Instead of fastening the rope to the bow of the boat, he care lessly made it fast some distance back, on one side of the boat. Everything went well, so long as he sat in the stern, but, wishing to cast off at the place where the accident occurred, he let the steering oar drop and went for ward to loose the hawser. The boat, very un- steady one, then turned sideways and upset. Mir Wheeler was either dazed or stunned and seemed to make no effort to save himself. The barge people say that he never uttered q sound and that the boat was upset and the man sinking be- fore they were aware nf the accident. He was naturally silent, uncommuni- cative person and so it is not considered strange that he tried to cast off without speaking. The barge stopped and lower ed a boat, but the man sank before it reached him. The tug, after going up with the barge, was the first to carry the news to Stratford. Dredgers worked till dark, Tuesday night, without finding the body. Mir Wheeler was in the coal busi- ness and kept the only supply in Strat- ford. He was well known locally and will be missed as an honest, upright cit izen. >

NUMBER 43.

Rudolph is but about 26 years old and imprisonment for lifemay mean 30 or 40 years of hopeless confinement. It is an open question whether the ends of justice are not as we'll served in this case as by hanging. The result of the case con firms the suspicious of those who first ar rested Rudolph and who have constantly maintained their belief in his guilt. As it now appears, they were not ''houndmg an innocent man to death, 1" but obtaining evidence with which to convict the guilty. It will be noticed that in none of his con- fessions does Rudolph speak of Peck's money as even a secondary consideration for the murder; his sole object was re- venge. It is now stated that Peck had
 no money and no property, aside from that which came into the hands of the administrator. Of this, two building lots and house on Washington street,
 East End, Bridgeport, were sold at auct- l ion, Saturday. William H. Hoy of Ad-
 ans street purchased the property for S1925; in the afternoon, shore din-
 ner was given by him at Lewis &
 Lewis's East End pavilion to a few friends, including Deputy Sheriffs Glow CT, Leonard and Hayes, ex-Deputy Le-
 grand Botsford, Judge Beecher, all of
 whom, especially the Newtown officers, deserve more credit than they will get
 for unearthing another Connecticut mur-
 der mystery. Judge Beecher and Depu-
 ty Sheriff Glover have done good work
 in the case. The expense of this murder
 to the State must be fully Sl0,0O0, which
 works cost and worry in venting it's fiend- ish rage. Peck was d bad man and few
