IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES.

Confirmation Administered By Bish-
 op Williams in the Episcopal
 Churches.
 Bishop Williams. of the Episcopal dio- cese of Connectlcut had a busy day of It yesterday, preaching and confirming m the morning at St Johns, in the after noon at St Michaels, Naugatuck, and in the evening at Trinity. At this last ser vice the Rev Prof Russell said evening prayer, the lesson belng read by the rector, Rev MT Micou. The bishop preached from two texts in the sixth chapter of Galatians, the one admonish- ing to bear each others burdens, the other that each should bear his own. He said that infidels and scotfers had seized on such seeming contradictions as sufficient to destroy all respect for the authority of the bible and in so doing had illustrated the saying that "a little learning is a dangerous thing. He did not like to criticise the English version but sometimes found it easy as in this case to harmonize apparently contradictory passages. Burden Tn the first case referred to the sorrows and sutferings of others; in the second case the ones own responsibility and Tn the original was the same as "knapsack. From this he laid down the two laws as each binding on us and warned all against refusing individual responsibility in the duties of life on the ground that
 grace was given in common as rain falls alike on all. He illustrated the point by
 saying that man died alone and would
 be judged alone. The music was rendered by an excel
 lent choir, the tenor solo i'll the otfertory being sung by Mir William Davis in an exceptionally fine manner. The offering
 was for the missions of the diocese. About twenty were confirmed. With advan-
 cing age and passing duties the bishop felt obliged to omit the address to the | candidates, a feature which in other
 years made his coming most welcome
 to Episcopalians. The aisles were filled
 with seats, yet many had to stand SC large was the attendance.

THE ,.DEMocRAr,, X LEADEn.

sos.ie af the Features That Meet
 With Public Appreciation.
 Are you regular subscriber to the DEMOCRAT And if not, why not?
 The paper although in it's infancy yet has become power in the community. As dissemination of news it takes rank with its older and more pretentious riv- rut Is leader every time.
 One feature of the DEMOCRAT to which we call special attention is it's literary departments. Special corre- spondence from at home and abroad illus trated articles by some of the best Am- erican writers. and serial stories by the most popular novelists of the day. are among the features which have made the DEMOCRAT popular with all classes. The amount of editorial, news and miscellaneous matter published in the DEMOCRAT in d year is immense. About nineteen columns of well edited reading matter is printed each day, aggregating in a year 5,100 columns of an average length of twenty inches Reduced to 1 feet we find that If the reading matter printed during year was pasted together in columns of the regular width the strip would be nearly two miles in length.
 No other paper in this city can make snch a boast. Another point that is ap- preciated appeals directly to the pocket. The DEMOCRAT holds the fort as being the only two cent paper ill the city. 1 If you are not a regular subscriber eX- anime this issue carefully and judge for yourself whether or not we state our position correctly.
 | c. Collard Adams has charge of the subscription list of the DEMOCRAT and will hereafter make monthly collections where subscribers wish it.

WHOSE WORK rs 1T?

The cause Of the murder IL ques-
ton which is racking the brains Of
the authorities. A report IL spread
about that Cronin was killed by
committee Of the Irish order Of Clan
na-Gsel and that his death was voted
al council Of that order for trans.
gressions he had committed against
the law. Another version IL that he
was a spy in the employ of the British
government and that he was traitor
In the camp Of the Irish order and IVES
killed to keep his mouth shut. Still
another assignment Of cause is that he
was killed by the Tory government Of
England with the intention Of having
the crime fixed on the Irish society
that IL may lose sympathy In the
American mind. Whose ever work ii
is is yet a mystery which maS or may
not unraven itself. Meanwhile il does
not appear that the evidence gathered

THE STORY OF THE WAGON.
Patrick Dins9, keeper Of a liv ry
stable, appeared to the captain Of
police and Informed him thst on the
evening Of the murder, Daniel Caugh-
lin, one Of tie force of city detectives.
called upon aim aud engaged horse
and covered wagon for a man who
wo Id call for il later in the evening.
The man called, wanted a covered
wagon, which he could not get, and
C complained because he was Obliged 10
take white ho,s,. The team was
taken away and returned 4 about
two hours showing evidences of hard
driving. The police are We, uncertain
who the driver was, or who WAS the
man who ar peared at the stable aud
took out the rig that had been engaged
by Caughlin; or indeed that the rig
was the same as that which was en-.
ployed to carry the body away from
the cottage, but they think it was.
Their uncertainty on this ppint exists,
notwithstanding the alleged confes-
sion made by man named Woodruff,
alias Black, who was arrested on May
llth for horse stealing. While CON
fined in his cell. Woodruff said that
he was the man who went 10 the
stable, took out the wagon and carried
away the body from the cottage ip the
trunk, two men -ldlng with It iu the
wagon 10 the lake where il was in
tended 20 drop IL, but being frightened
away on arriving there by the appear
ance Of a policeman, they turned, and
after proceeding some distance they
stopped at tue man hole Of the sewer,
but finding they could not drop the
trunk down the sewer, they removed
the body, dropped it iR the opening
and carried thu trunk some distance
farther, then threw it away. Wood
ruff swears that he is not one of the
conspirators, nor does he know who
they are; he simply drove the wagon
for two unknown men and he was
hired 70 do il.
Csughlin has an explanation for his
engaging the horse and wagon, but he
has nevertheless been srrested, charged
with murder and indicted. Thus far
the police have indicted but three per-
sons. Woodruff. Caughlin and Sulli
van the ice man.
