 He entered MT. Judd's employ at the age of seventeen years. His natural quick ness and aptitude for business was the rose rapidly to the position of head clerk. and has been in MT. Judd's employ fol twenty years.
 So fa- as the knowledge of current books goes he was certainly one of the best in formed authorities in the city, if not in the state. He had an excellent memory and it served him we'll in his business. A too close application to business undoubt, edly hastened his death.
 MT. Millspaugh's pleasant disposition and genial manner brought him many friends. He was a prominent Red Man and greatly interested in athletic sports Since the beginning of his illness he hat been away from town at intervals fol change of air, and while here rode about { great deal in his carriage for the sake o1 his health.

MORNING PAPERS ROBBED. Thefts of old Type and Cuts from a Number of Composin. Rooms by a Tramp Printer.


 A tramp printer fond of whistling is wanted by the police for the robbery of several newspapers printing offices in this city. The man has frequented the com posing rooms of several morning papers for over week past, and is supposed to have made away with old type and cuts he found lying about loose at such times as the regular compositors were not looking. It is believed that 200 pounds of type and other composing material has been stolen in this manner from some of the offices. As soon as the facts became known 8 morning paper put Detective Reilly on the case. Through his efforts the.larger portion of the stolen property has already been discovered in junk shop kept on Long wharf. It is expected that the capture of the thief will soon fol- low.
 The News company have lost about $50 through the operations of the thief. From the COURIER composing room there has been stolen number of advertising cuts, but only small quantity of type. It was the habit of the supposed taker of the goods to lounge about composing rooms on the pretence of trying to obtain work.
 Apropos of the reception of stolen prop erty by junk dealers the fine inflicted by 8 Seymour justice on New Haven dealer for buying goods of minors may have 8 stautary effect in making junk men more careful in their future actions. Samuel Deagan, the man fined, was in Seymour on business trip and had bought some cop per plates from boy fourteen years old. For this offense he was mulcted $7 and costs, which amounted to $17.90.
