DEAD FROM pRIvArIor.

Her Abode Forced Open by the
Police-Her Dead Body Found
She Had $l,75O.31 to Her Credit In
the Old savings Bank.
Yesterday afternoon about 4:15 O'Clock
. woman named Jane Stanford, living at
No. z Myrtle street, called Officer Gates
and told him that in the tenement under
her lived an old woman named Catherine
Berry and that she had not been seen to
leave the house since Monday. The house
was locked and nothing could be seen by
looking in the window. Officer Gates hap
pened to have key which opened the
door and when he went in he found Miss
Berry dead on the floor of her bedroom.
He locked the houss and notified Sergeant
McGann at station Q. He then went back
with Officer Nettleton to guard sthe house
and Sergeant McGann notified Medical Ex-
aminer White. The latter examined the
body and found that the woman had died
from privation. She lived in the most abb
ject poverty and misery and her place was
very filthy. She had probably been dead
one day.
A search around the house revealed
nothing except some toast and a little
stow which had been sent through the
charity of the neighbors.
In turning oyer the, bedclothes was
found bunch of keys, purse containing
tened with small paddock, like one gen
orally seen on deg collar. One Of the
keys fitted the lock and the satchel was
opened. The contents of the satchel were
three purses and bank book wrapped in
about a yard of cloth. The bank book
showed that she had an account of 81 750.
81 with the New Haven Savings bank. In
one of the two purses were two plain gold
rings, and in the other cameo ring. The
woman was dressed in filthy rags and
there was no coal or wood in the house,
with the exception of some bark, which
had probably been thrown out from the
New Haven wood yard premises.
DR.. White took charge of the valuables
and ordered the body taken to Sisk'f
undertaking establishment. ".
The woman was maiden lady. Hel

she never purchased any comforts. Las

BARN AND HORSE BURNED.

Loss $SOO-No Insurance-Incendi
Ism Suspected-The Wife Sick With
the Grip Carried from the House.
Con Dugan of Poplar street near Grand
avenue, peddler of oil and tinware, went
out to his barn last night shortly after z
O'Clock, and found it in flames. He hast
ened to get out his horse, but the flames
scorching his eyebrows and burning his
face compelled him to desist. A neighbor
saw the sre and pulled the box, and the
fire companies came none to soon, for al
ready the side of Dugan's house, which is
but q few feet in advance of the barn, was
afre.
The barn was entirely demolished, and
its contents of hay and straw and the
horse, wagons, q barrel of oil and
other goods. The side of the house
is 80 badly damaged that new
one will have to be put on. The furniture
of Charles Calden up stairs was somewhat
injured, but the damage will be slight
The damage to the barn and house are
about $500. The house only was injured
When the house caught fire Mr.. Dugan's
wife was lying in bed H<with the grip and
had to carried out to neighbours
Although the loss is by no means slight,
1t is fortunate that the house did not burn
also. No cause for the fire has been found
but incendiarism is suspected, though why
this should be done is not known.
