FAIRFIELD.

There was a goodly attendance at the Town hall, last week Thursday evening, when the third anniversary of the orga- nization of the |. F.. s. c. E was cele- brated. There were between 50 and 60 present from neighboring societies, Black Rock, Greenfield Hill, Southport, Greens Farms. The meeting was presided over by Miss Mary Kippen, president of the society and the meeting was opened with a praise and prayer meeting, led by Will liam c. Burr, chairman of the prayer meeting committee. This was followed by the reading of historical address by Dr Donaldson, in which it appeared that the society. organized with membership of 24, now has 3S members. It has rais- ed $20 for the New West educational commission, $25 for reading room in Colorado, $20 for the Johnstown flood sufferers. Nearly $150 has already been secured toward the contribution of the society to the new church and it is hoped soon to make it $200. Pastor Child made few remarks on germane topics and Rev H. c. Woodruff of Black Rock spoke on the work of his own society. Re- marks were also made by Southport member, by Messrs Elwood of Greens Farms and Purple of Greenfield Hill. This concluded the literary part of the entertainment and the meeting was then taken in charge by the social committee, of which Lawyer Bacon Wakeman is chairman and cake and cream provided.

 The latest reports from the Colorado mining district, in which the Southport are located, state that sale of certain mining claims adjacent to the Silver Pick mine has just been effected. The buyers were English capitalists and the price paid was $2,0o0,0o0. Work is steadily progressing on the Mount Wilson group of mines, the force of men has been increased, high grade mineral is being sacked continually and the pros- pect of an immediate cash income from the current seasons work is more flatter- ing than at any previous date in the com- pany's history. The large vein opened up shows no signs of changing in size or nature and short period will insure the dividends for which the shareholders have been waiting.

was poor and didn't know where he would get money enough to pay his board. He said he expected to end his days in the poor house. The statements he made and the tears all seemed to come in a heap. I laughed at him and told him I knew better; that he had trust stocks and mentioned to him some he held in his name-Union Trust, Adams Express, American Express, Western Union Telegraph and also the fact that l.. B. Booth had brought to us 100 shares of Western Union that was in his name. He seemed to feel better as we kept talk ing and grew pleasant again. He told me he meant to pay the claim dollar for dollar. He said the reason why he had been waiting was that he had been try ing to get Jonas to pay his part; ii he (Elon) paid the whole claim, he wanted to arrange with Jonas to pay his share. Was not stated what Jonas's share was. Elon did not know I was coming up. It was a surprise to him. He told me he was not well. Don't think he was fright ened. Don't think l told him then that if he did not settle, we would have to sue him. May have done so, but l don't think so. Read to him his agreement to keep good a margin of 5 per cent. and showed him the order to sell again, sign ed by Booth and Jonas. Do not recall any conversation about the sale of the oil itself. When l left, ElOn wanted me to come up again later and he would ar range a meeting between Jonas, l.. B. Booth and myself, at which meeting he would be present. It was his suggestion that l should come up again. At that meeting, we were to arrange some basis for settlement in full. Was there for over an hour. Had a copy of some of our papers: The agreement with Elon, telegrams we received and told him the amount of the claim. Elon never disput- ed the claim when told him the amount but said he intended to pay it. He made no claim that the oil was sold by our firm without any authority. No claim was ever made by Jonas, l.. B. Booth or EloI that the oil was sold without their knowl edge, that l remember. No money WaS ever deposited by Elon, Jonas or l.. B Booth for margin after August 27, 1887 No request was ever made by Elon, Jona: or l.. B. Booth to buy more oil after Au gust P, 1887. They never made any de mands on us to have the certificate
 of oil bought for them between Novem Der p, 1885 and August 27, 1887. w.
 could have delivered them to Jonas, Elol or L. B. B. at any time between thos
 dates upon their demand and upon tn
 payment of their accounts. Nothing wa said by Elor to me on that visit that hi
 securities were in l.. E. Booths safe Elon did not tell me that l.. B. Bootl took the 100 shares of Western Union t. our office without his knowledge or con sent. Had no other business when
 went to NeWtOwn, but to see ElOn abou the settlement of this claim.

GREENFIELD HILL.

There was great crowd, Monday, at the auction of effects found at Henry Luddington's, at the house of Justice Francis l.. Sherwood. An almost end- less assortment of articles, many of them of no real value, were sold and surprising prices obtained in nearly every case. Justice Sherwood was auctioneer and Lawyer John c. Chamberlain of Bridge port, counsel for Luddington, acted as clerk. The proceeds of the auction will go to Luddington, as all articles in his possession are supposed to belong to him until proven the property of another.
 Speaking of the reward of $500 for the capture of the burglars who assault ed Capt Bradley, one of the committee of safety said, "When it is proven by reli- able testimony that Luddington and Brown were the criminals, we will pay the reward, of course, to Officer Arnold and Detective Cronin until then, hard ly see how we can. Luddington acknowl- edged the crime in the presence of off, cers and his counsel, but not until after he had been sentenced for another crime. I should hardly consider that sufficient evidence, as he was not in court or under oath. l do not understand that the com mttee has decided upon action in the matter, but l think demand will be made upon us for the money. If Joe Brown confesses the burglary, or is con- victed of it upon good testimony, the re- rH will hn y1aiI 5 I ,,II and Dora Conroy have made statements connecting Brown with the burglary.
 Considerable surprise and not little rejoicing was occasioned when it became known that Joe Brown, the accompIice of Henry Luddington for two years, had been captured. It is understood that he left for New York State about the time of Luddington's capture and it was not : supposed that he would so quickly ven l ture back to Connecticut. However, the officers have known that he was in Nor walk and have been watching for an op portunity to seize him. Saturday, Brow1 0 took a Danbury and Norwalk train a Norwalk, going, he said, to Danbury, t.
 
 nized by Seth s. Benedict of Bedding ant Mir Benedict obtained Sheriff Charles M e Doran at Bethel to arrest Brown. H was taken to Ridgefield to be tried there , Monday, on charge of burglarizing tn house of George Rockwell. Fearing however, that there might be a possibl way of escape, Detective Cronin hat .- Judge Glover of Fairfield draw up war t rant for the arrest of Brown on tn charge of the burglary of Capt William Bradley's house. Brown has been re ' garded as the tool and ally of Ludding ton. Now that all three members are i > jail, one sentenced and two awaiting tr al, it is earnestly hoped that the motor f. ous Luddington gang is no more.
