BRIDGEPORT, Sept 29.-The discovery
of the skeleton in the cellar of the old
Wheeler building at Black Rock, owned
hy Miss Kathleen Moore, on Wednesday
of last week by several Bridgeport
workmen, is still the subject of much
talk. Saturday Chief Rylands with
Officer Finn and Coroner Doten went to
the Rock to make an Investigation.
They had long talk with Miss Moore,
who is now 90 years of age. She was
able to unravel the mystery connected
with the discovery and told the follow
ing story In 1917 when she was yet a
young girl, wealthy grocery merchant
named John Reilly of Brooklyn, came
to that place on a visit while there he
mysteriously disappeared and was never
afterwards heard from. II was thought
that he was murdered for what money
was supposed to be upon his person and
his body spirited away. The find makes
this superstition plausible as no like case
has occurred since in the memory of the
oldest residents and there has been no
cause for such an interment. The re-
mains were also inferred face down

WALKED IN HIS SLEEP.
A New Haven Man Contracts a Bad
Habit in This City.


Habit in This City.
Saws the New Haven Palladium A
Young man who is we'll known in this
city had an unpleasant experience a
short time ago. He is a somnambulist
and often does peculiar things in his
sleep. He went to visit some friends in
Waterbury and as he was not in the
habit of retiring as early as the members
of the family he was visiting, he re-
NAMED up and took his shoes off before
he assembled the stairs. A few nights
after his return to his home he lay down
upon a lounge and fell asleep. After
sleeping soundly about a half hour, he
arose, walked to the foot of the stairs,
took off his shoes, and not being content
with doing that he drew off his stock
ings also. He then clambered up stairs
to his room. Taking a match from his
pocket, he brought one of his feet up so
that he could reach the bottom of it, and
then deliberately scratched the match
on the fiat surface. The match did not
light Immediately but he kept on
scratching. Finally the match did
light. The holder was unconscious of
the fact and kept on scratching. Sud
denly he awoke in great pain from the
burn. He limped about for several days
and since that time questions about the
proper mode of lighting q match have
been distasteful to him.

Accused of the Theft OF Money From
a Fellow BoRrder.

Accused OF Uhe heIb OF money rTOih
Fellow BoRrder.
James Rigney, who was fined this
morning in the police court, for breach
of the peace, is once more in trouble.
His fine this morning amounted to $12
and he sent a note by an officer to his
boarding house, stating that the money
could be found in a fellow boarder's
pocket. The officer went to the house
and sure enough in the trousers pocket
was found $40 bill and some change.
The officer was at a loss to know
how Rigney was aware Of the presence
of the money. In the meantime a
friend of Rigney's had paid his fine and
he was released. Rigney then started
for the boarding house. entered through
a window and took the money from the
garment which the officer had searched,
He was suspected Of the theft as soon as
it was discovered and Officer Kennaugh
arrested him. When he arrived at the
police station he tried to throw the
money away but Chief Egan detected
him in the act. He is now locked up
awaiting trial. The owner of the
money, Henry Donovan, a driver for
Benedict & Burnham, will be the princi-
pal witness against him.

This Morning.

The case of Mary Young VS. Marcus
Young occupied the district court to-
day before Judge Bradstreet. 1t is an
estate made by the plaintiff to the de-

is insane and at the time of giving the
deed she was of unsound mind. The
woman herself was put on the stand and
insisted on singing hymn before she
testified. A dozen or more witnesses

Gillette appeared for the plaintiff and

the defendant. Decision was reser we'd.

Unrorrunnt. "rom,, Nottingham.

Thomas F. Nottingham, the Air Line
freight conductor. killed at New Haven
last week, used to blow his whistle as
his train sped by his home in the
twelfth ward. On the morning of his
death his wife was listening for the
whistle, and as the train sped by with
out recognition. she wondered that
there was no familiar whistle, but did
not dream that her husband was dead.
Only a few weeks before Nottingham's
death he was warned by Superintendent
Waterbury to be more careful about the
tracks, and in jumping on and off his
train, else he would be picked up by the
cars some day. Nottingham laughed
and replied that he guessed not.

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY.
RErunLleAN pmloMAcY.

The Detroit tribune OF recent date
contains the following: "A year ago
about tins time the Democratic papers
were engaged in viciously assaillng
President Harrison : administration for
alleged neglect and needless delay IN
recognizing ths Republic OF Brazil.
Last week the high officers of the Bra
milan navy, as specia. envoys OF the
President OF Brazil, waited on Presl-
dent Harrison, bearing messages Of
good will and fraternity, and magnifi-
cent and costly medal presented TO the
President Of the United States as an
acknowledgment Of the gratitude felt
by the Brazilian people for the prompt
recognition of the youngest Republic
on this continent by the United States.
Comment is unnecessary" The policy
of tho Republican party in its foreign
relations has always been marked by
vigor tempered with wisdom. The
right claimed by Great Britain to search
American vessels upon the high seas
for subjects of Great Britain, notwith-
standing the three years war of 1912,
was not settled in the negative, until
Republican Diplomacy was brought to
bear upon the subject matter.

to the shoulders, and an exceedingly

her with devouring pathetic look that
showed how kcsnly alive she was to the
exceeding beauty of beautiful boSy,
SAYS the New York Telegram.
The object OF the gaze began to grow
uneasy under its intensity and ixity,
and finally, locking the girl coldly in the
face. she leaned partly across the car
and said:

looked At me long enough, will you be
kind enough TO look somewhere else?

The poor girl grew FIRST red and then
