MANSFIELD'S MANY FIRES.
A Little Connecticut Town Which SUITE
Griev0usly From Inccndiaries.

Little Connecticut Town Which Suffers
GrievOusly From Inccndiaries.
There has never been time when any por-
ton of Connecticut was SO terrorized as is part
OF the town of Mansfield at present The terri
tory covered embraces only small section of
the town proper, and would DO nearly included
in that section lying north and south, about
two miles on either side of the line drawn east
and west between Eagesville, district of the
town. and the celebrated Storrs School, the
pride Of the farmers and the boosted institution
to which they send their sons. Only short dis
lance from the school by a circuitous wagon
road is the spot which hax become q disgrace to
the state. For mole than four years incendiary
fires have been very numerous in Mansfield.
Houses, barns. factories, cattle, horses and
sheep have been lost through incondiarism.
Twenty barns, one silk MILL one stockinet mill
and Other property have been burned; cattle
and sheep have been disemboweled and in
humanity mutilated; churches, grave stones,
barn sides fences and private residences have
been defaced by obscene and vulgar characters;
people have been assaulted upon the high
ways in the dead Of night by unknown persons
and have barely escaped with their lives.
When this iawlessness began the steady going
people began to look about for some rendez-
yous to find the band OF desperadoes. Now
they suspect their own neighbors As list Of
the fires show that In no case was the property
insured for more than its value, the theory that
the owners set fire to the buildings is not &C
cepted; besides. there were several Of the build
lngs upon which there was no insurance. Sus-
picion, which has been growing for somo time
now points to family who live in the town.
The members OF the family are thrifty farmers
and own sell-kept lsn'. They are supposed to
be worth about Sl2, 900 They loudly declare
that they know no more of barns being burned

APPOINTING POLICEMEN,
A Resolution Passed Urging the Repeal
the Army and Navy Clause.

A Resolution Passed Urging the Repeal Of
the Army and Navy Clause.
A resolution was adopted by o. P. Morton
Post, G. A r., at the meeting last evening,
urging the repeal of the section Of the law
which provides that no person shall disappointed
policeman or watchman in this District who
has not served in the army or navy and re-
ceived an honorable discharge. The reasons
given are follows:
That said statute was passed for the benefit
of the veterans of the last war, and that not
one of the men who served in the late war is
now eligible for appointment OIL said force;
that the law remaining upon the statute books
requires and causes the appointment of men
upon said force. many and most of whom are
unacquainted with tine people of this commu-
nifty, and absolutely unqualified to serve in the
capacity Of conservators of the peace, and ex-
ercise discretion and judgment required of q
police officer; by reason of the existence of this
law SC many competent and efficient bona ide
residents of the District of Columbia are pre-
vented from appointment on said force, whose
appointment would meet the approval of all
good citizens Of this community"

An Old Miser Perishes In tho Same Way
That Hc Disposed of His Rival

An Old Miser Perishes In tho Same Way
That Hc Disposed of His Rival
A searching party that had been two days
looking for Louis vilmas, rich old miser
who had been last seen in New Albany, Ind.
on Christmas eve. found him on Saturday
night dead in a small creek in the woods near
his house. which was on q hill near Moores-
vile, five miles to the north of New Albany.
Connected with his death is a strange story to
be tod.
Viln,as had come to New Albany. o. is his
annual custom, to purchase presents, as he
said for the children Of his aged sister, residing
somewhere in the state of Maine. He was seen
to have a large wad Of bank notes which he
displayed in the bar room OF the hotel, and
startled ali who knew him by Offering to treat
the whole house. He drank several eggnoggs
and became as merry as young man. His
conduct was SO unlike his former self that he
was asked what had come over him. To this
he replied:
This is my birthday. I have now lived
thrce score and ten years. which l swore
would do on the day was fifty. I'll celebrate
it if it kills me-
For an hour the old man unbosomed himself
to the landlord, and told the story of his life.
lie then confessed that the woman to whom
he annually sent presents was an old sweet
heart who had Tilted him in his younger days.
Nllmas said he had killed his old rival one
cold winter night in Maine, after the two had
been on spree together. They quarreled on
bridge over creek near the home Of the
CIR! with whom both were in love, and he,
being st' onger, threw his companion over the
parapet The next morning his rivalo body
was found Fl Oxen in the ice
Miser Eilnias hearers werc inclined to doubt
his story and joked him about it, saying that
he had drunk too many eggnoggs On this he

chest and started home on horseback.
AT Christmas it reported that Vilmas
horse returned home without its rider and
people at once jumped to the conclusion that
nc had been murdered. Saturday night he was
found as described in the small creek. The
body was frozen in the ice SO firmly that II had
to be chopped out Those who had hearG the
miser's Christmas eve story were stricken with
great wonder at the apparent sign of tho hand
OF fare in bringing about his death.
