appeal to judge Of the supreme court aud

WATERBURY, Conn, Oct 2d.-Another
OF those mysterious murders which startle
Connecticut every little while has just
been brought To light
John Briody. farmer Of advanced age
was found lying unconscious and badly
beaten on the Naugatuck turnpike, near
this city. He would have died in the
brukh, but John Foley who was near at
hand, was passing, and hearing his groans
discovered him He was carried bleeding
TO Foley's house, where he lay two days
at the point OF death
As he was not able 10 recognize any one
nor TO speak, the Foleys did not know who
the old man was until, failing TO come
home at the regular time, Briody's son, a
Waterbury grocery clerk instituted a
search and at last discovered him at
Foley's. Saturday night Mr.. Briody un-
eXpectedly regained consciousness and
added more mystery TO the case by giving
the story Of the way he received his injury.
He said that lac met a well dressed, middle
aged stranger on the road the day Of his
assault and the stranger asked him for a
ride. Briody carried him about a mile,
when be stopped 20 sell goods,
The stranger walked ahead, but BriOdy
soon overlook him with the team, when
the man got In again at his own request 10
continue the journey 60 Waterbury. Ac-
cording to Briody's story, the stranger
asked him to take a drink Of whisky
from small bottle which he carried.
Briody took a small drink He remembers
nothing further but that he began co lose
his senses aud fell over backward into the
body of the wagon, at the same time re-
ceiying blow on the back OF the head
from some blunt instrument, The old

ballot is not only essential to the perma-

Cleveland puts it, to the perpetuation Of
