JUDGE CoWELL's BOAST.
The Superior Court Has Never Broken
Will Drawn BY Him.

The Superior Court Has Never Broken
aWill Drawn BY Him.
At a gathering of Odd Fellows in
Plantsville. Tuesday night, Judge Cow
ell of this city made one of his charac-
teristic addresses. His remarks on the
Odd Fellows home question were inter-
esting. He gave glowing accounts of
what was being done about the matter;
fourteen out of seventy-three lodges in
the state only had voted against it, and
he had reason to believe that they had
sufficient reasons for so doing; the
finances are already beginning to come
in, and only yesterday he made the will
of man who had no near relatives,
leaving all he had to the home; at the
meeting of the sttte grand encampment
yesterday at Bridgeport $500 were voted
towards it; he himself had offered fifty
odd acres Of land for its location free, if
the order saw fit to place it in Water
bury, and he gave other instances of
where it was receiving substantial en-
couragement. He further offered to go
anywhere in the state and make the
will of any man, for nothing and at his
own expense, provided there was a good
substantial sum left for the home. He
stated further that there had never been
a will drawn up by him ever broken by
a superior court, and he thought that
ought to be good inducement for any
one who was fearful of a contest for his
millions after death.

1t Looks Like Murder.

DETROIT, Oct 22.-Workmen I'M
earthed the body of man yesterday
afternoon at South Detroit, while dig
ging cellar. The body had evidently
been in the ground only a short time
and although decomposition had
set in the body was in good
condition. A strap about three
feet long was drawn tightly around the
neck. Death had evidently been caused
by strangulation. The man was about
30 years of age, well dressed and
weighed about 100 pounds. No one has
recognized him as yet.

GENERAL KELLOGG INTERVIEWED
Says the Intelligent Irish Vote Will
Carry the State For blaine.

says Cno lnLeIllRehC NoJO
Carry the State For Blaine.
A representative of the New Haven
Palladium has been interviewing S. w.
Kellogg. This is what he learned:
If Blaine wants the nomination, he
can have it, General Kellogg thinks, by
reclamation. Without Blaine, he be-
lieves we may win-though he is not so
confident. And yet he holds that Har-
rison has displayed more brains than
people credited him with. His speeches
are wonderful productions; and the
success of the administration-whic
| certainly reflects primarily on its official
head-in opening trade with southern
| countries beats all records. The crops
republican triumph, but the outlet for
them through reciprocity is only indi-
| rectly to heavens credit.
General Kellogg thinks Connecticut
can be carried for Blaine next year, be-
cause the intelligent Irish workingmen
will support him. 1--WE need them, and
must have them," he said, ''if we hope
to win in this state"
The republicans of Waterbury are
naturally elated over their recent
victory. For the first time in some
mayor after their own heart. He re.
joices in the name of Daniel Webster,
suggestive of more than incipient great
ness to those at all versed in the history
of statecraft. This modern Webster is
the clerk of the district court, a lawyer,
| yet honest, sound, sensible and withal
virtuous. Waterbury republicanism is
booming, according to the general, fol-
the normal $50 democratic majority
was upset, and nearly 200 carried over
to the other side.

Kellogg, though with substantial basis
| Brass is quiet-an item of moment tc
the Brass city.
1t isn't necessary to go west to fine
progress and hustle. You can find it in
| Waterbury. There's nothing dead
about town which bounds from &c, 27(
population to 81, 1862 in ten years. They
do that out west to be sure, but by tax
ing in both people and suburbs. Ir
Waterbury the increase was in people
exclusively.

A River Steamer Sunk.

DETROIT, Mich, October 22.-At 7:3O
last night the Anchor line steamer Con.
