MILFORD Woodruff, the aged head OF
the Mormon hierarchy, declares in man
ifesto over his signature that he and his
associates are neither preaching nor
sacntioning polygamy. His intention,
he saws, is to obey the laws of the Unit
ed States and to exert all his influence to
induce all other stsaints" to obey them.
Since the enactment of the anti-polyg-
amy laws, any elder using language tend
ing to incite his hearers to the violation
of them has been promptly reproved.

ERE AND DEATH.

Returning from Bridgeport, at 10 p IN,
last Friday, John w. Treadwell discov-
cred the house of Mrs Mary A. Gregory
to be on fire. Hastily rousing l.. N. Nal
lett, just opposite and sending word to
Mrs Gregory's son just below, the two
men FASTENED with pals of water and
found the doors not locked, but the fire
made such Roadway that it was useless
to attempt to quench its fury. Baffied
in their attempts to remove Mrs Gregg
RVS body, which could be seen lying in
the northeast corner of her living room
in the south part of the house, with
door post or casing across her limbs, Mr.
Mallett ran for potato hook and drew
the body to the doorway and, Mr. Gregg
ry having arrived, carried it to the YER
andah of his house. The fire, when first
discovered, was already bursting through
the siding and the opened doors sent the
flames to the roof in few minutes, so
that not an article was saved from the
building, upon which and its contents
| there was no insurance. 1t is supposed
that either lamp exploded or careless
ness in using light about the house
started the fire. Mrs Gregory was
frightfully burned, portions of her cloth
ing being entirely gone. She had been
dead for some time before she was dis
covered. The funeral, Sunday, from the
home of her son, Samuel j. Gregory, was
largely attended, Rev A. III. Nance of
Stepney officiating; the burial was at
Long Hill, L. N. Orville, Hobart Nal
lett, j. A. Treadwell were bearers. Mrs
Gregory, widow of Plumb B. Gregory,
was mother of 10 children, three haying
died some years siuce. The seven sur
viving are Ezra of Kentucky, Glover of
Iowa, Sylvester of Bridgeport and Sam
uel; the daughters are Marietta, Mrs
Hurd of Shelton; Lorintha, Mrs Lewis
Edwards; Virginia, Mrs Bennett Seeley.
The house was bnilt on the west side of
the street by Robert Mallett. Plumb
Gregory bought it less than 30 years ago
moved it across the street and repaired
it. Mrs Gregory was 80 years of age
last June and lived alone for the most
part, contrary to the wishes of her
children. Her daughter, Mrs Hurd OF
Shelton, had been with her for some
time and left that afternoon, intending
to return soon.
