tine selection of delegates to the Democratic

the city by majority Of over 1000 in the
largest primary vote ever BOILED here, o.
600, carrying all the seventeen wards and
electing the 139 delegates. 1t is considered

THE FROG BOY.

Most Wonderful Freak of Nature
Ever Seen In Waterbury.
Without a doubt the most wonderful
freak of nature ever seen in Waterbury
is the Frog Boy now on exhibition at No
90 East Main street. Doctors and scienti-
fic men in all parts of the country have
puzzled their brains over the phenomenon
without arriving at a conclusion at all
satisfactory. The''Frog Boy"was bern IN
Kershaw county South Carolina, in 1868,
and is therefore twenty-five years of
age. Twelve years ago his father, an
uneducated but naturally bright colored
man first placed the wonderful boy on ex-
hibition and since then he has been exam
mod by thousands of the most prominent
people in the land. The boys body is
formed exactly like frog while his
head and face is like that of man. He
converscs intelligsntly, and altogether is
rs bright as anybody could we'll be under
the same circumstances. The boy stands
eighteen inches in height and weighs
ninety pounds. He will be on exhibit
ton for a few days only in this city.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

a New Haven Girls sudden Death
Probably Due to Poison.
Medical Examiner White has been
busy the last two days with mysterious
case, and one which at first was very
puzzling. Miss Kittis O'Neil of New
Haven died about midnight Tue sday
night, after only a few hours illness,
having before been apparently in a state
of perfect health. About 5 O'Clock in
the afternoon she said she felt sick, and
her mother told her go to bed, which she
did. She was soon afterwards taken
with violent cramps in the stomach, a
doctor was called, but she continued to
grow worse and died between IL and 10.
Word was sent to Medical Examiner
White and he began an investigation.
The house was thoroughly searched for
poison, as there was suspicious that the
girl died from arsenical poisoning. A
box of trough on rats" was found, and
this and other proof led DIR White to re-
port to Coroner Mix yesterday that he
found death was due to arssnical poison
ing. 1t is supposed that the girl took
the poison in n fit of dependency
caused by quarrel with her mother.

Mrs Mcram ble'S Case Very similar to
That of Her Husband.
Coroner Mix proposes to thoroughly
investigate the circumstances leading to
the death of Mrs Caroline MeramOle,
who died at the New Haven hospital
after having been brought from Wood
bury in a condition of great suffering.
He has summoned DR. H. L. Hartman,
who treated Mrs Meramble in Wood
bury, G. Z. Trowbridse,C. II. Minor and
w. A. Strong, selectmen of Woodbury.
the man with whom the deceased lived,
and the driver who brought Mrs Me--
amble to the hospital.
A New Haven gentleman who for
merly lived in Woodbury. said yester-
day that Mrs Meramble had been a
somewhat notorious character in that
town for many years. Some years ago
her husband was found in an Clubhouse
frozen to death. The door of the house
was found to be locked on the inside
and the general opinion was that his
wife had pushed him from the house
and locked him out, the act being a
sequel to one of the frequent quarrsls in
which the couple engaged. The gentle
man quoted speaks in the highest terms
Of the selsctmen of Woodbury. and
thinks them incapable Of any act of
cruelty to dependent person. He
says that for many years the town poor
of Woodbury. were cared for very COM
fortably. The present keeper of the
town house is Roderick Atwood, a man
of considerable means and Of shrewd
and industrious habits, but unable to
read or write.

speaking of Birchall, the murderer.
Prof. Goodwin Smith says: Had
he, instead of being sent to college,
been kept steadily at work at some use
full calling, he might have gone decently
and perhaps creditably through the
world. Sending him to college, where,
having no literary tastes, he was sure
not to study, and where, being idle, he
was sure also to be dissipated, was a
mistake which sealed his doom. That
no boy should be sent to college who
does not show a decided inclination to
study is lesson which BirchalJ
preached to us from n felon's grave"

AN UNSOCIABLE GOAT.

RoOm-Mate,

He Takes Decided Exceptions to His New
RoOm-Mate.
A gentleman who is not so young as
he was once recalls with amusement
some of his experiences while keeping
school in certain rural districts, it seems
to him, long, long ago. Accustomed as
he was to the comforts and refinements
of a well-kept house. he found it diff
cult to adapt himself to the peculiar
system of housekeeping in vogue in the
districts where he taught.
At one of his first boarding places he
was given an uncarpeted and untidy lit
tie bedroom on the ground floor of an
old farmhouse very much out of re-
pair because of the shiftlessness of its
owner.
Ushered into this uninviting room,
and being told to make himself fright
at home" the young teacher, tired and
homeSick, went at once to bed, and was
almost asleep when he heard a sound as
of some one moving about under the
bed.
He was not a very brave young man,
and felt himself poorly prepared to cope
with a possible desperate. For long
time, therefore, he lay perfectly still.
Once more he heard the noise. He
could bear the suspense no longer. He
got up, lighted his candle and lnelt
down to look under the bed, which had
an old-fashioned valance of purple calico
around it. Hardly had he lifted this
valance when the concealed foe made n
furious onslaught upon him, knocked
him heels over head, and bruised him
badly.
The candle was put out and the
frightened teacher roared Justify for
help. In rushed the farmer and his
wife, to discover their guest sprawling
on the floor, while his foe stood in a cor
ner of the room, shaking his head
defiantly, as if he meditated a second
attack.
"Oh, I'm almost killed." gasped the
teacher; ''there was man or some aw-
full animal under the bed
"Twa'n't no man." said the farmer,
grinning in a very unsympathetic man
ner; "'twas only our old billy-goat. I'd
ort to ave told you that he always
sleeps under the bed in this room. He
wouldn't ave touched you if you'd paid
no 'tention to him. Git back under thar,
you rascal and lay stilly'
He gave the goat a kick as he spoke,
and it disappeared under the bed. The
teacher also retired again, but the next
day he sought a more congenial board
ing place.--Youth's Companion.

A Pullman sleeper Burned on the

When the cast bound express on the

side of Willimantic yesterday morning
fire was discovered in Pullman sleeper.
II spread rapidly and the passengers
were ordered out and placed in the
other sleeper, which fortunately had
room enough to accommodate them. 1t
was impossible to extinguish the fire,
and ut Willimantic the car was cut out
and the fire department called. Its ser
vices were, however, unnecessary, as
the fire was got under control by
other means before its arrival
An accident Of this kind is very un-
usual, and though the fire evidently
started from the heater, it does not yet
appear just how it originated. The
wood of the car in which it started was
badly burned and the loss will DO con-
siderable.
Wednesday night the stations at East
Windsor Hill and Broad Brook, on the
New England road, were broken into by
thieves. No serious loss was reported
from either place.

statute by several instances which have
come under his jurisdiction the past
year and gives the following opinion j.:
II do not hesitate to say that I consider
the collateral Inheritance law unneces-
sary and burdsnsome. ! can see no
good reason for opposing its repeal. 1t
Is unjust and in certain sense is kind
of blackmail. Since the law became

these cases enforcement Of the law has
been . hardship upon the parties in in
