VERY MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

Two Men Shot, One of Them Fatally.
WEST HARTFORD, Nov. 14.-Last Satur-
day night 1t was rumored that two Poles
employed on the new reservoir at Tumble
way to the city, robbed of their months
pay and murdered. A posse started for
the scene, and in a lonely spot about q
mile from here they came upon q man
lying by the roadside with bullet hole In
his head and apparently in q dying con-
dition. He was taken to the hospital in
Hartford. His companion, who, 1t was
said, had been beaten to death with rock,
could not be found. The two men, in
company with four others; were coming
to Hartford at about 10 O'Clock. Four of
the men were together, and some
distance ahead Of the other two.
Soon after they had passed the
place where the dying man was found they
heard shouts and pistol shots. They
turned back, and say that they were fred
upon. The four then came to this place
and gave the alarm, saying their compan-
ions had been murdered by robbers.
The sheriff who had charge of the
searching party went to the reservoir,
where the men live in boarding houses
and there the other man was found, terri
bly, cut and bruised. He cannot speak
English, but refused to talk to an inter
prefer or say anything except that they
had been attacked and robbed. It is be
lieved that the two men got into q fight
in which one shot the other. The story Of
the robbery is not believed by the police
The man who was shot will probably die
the other will undoubtedly recover.

DEMOCRATIC POwwOW.

The Democratic Professions Came
Near Having a Grand Row Over a
Question of Precedence.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. IA Especial The
democratic clubs of Ansonia, Derby, Shell
ton and Birmingham had grand jelli6ca-
ton this evening. The parade was about
two miles long and over 5000 men were in
line. The illuminations along the line of
march were numerous, and the greater
part of the people illuminated without re-
gard to party feelings. The parade would
more properly, however, be called mob.
There was some misunderstanding as to
which town had the right of line, and thus
there was sort of race and considerable
contention between the different town
legions for the right of the line. Joseph
Colwell was the chief marshal of the Biz
mingham contingent. They were joined by
the Shelton contingent under Marshal
Joseph Gosling. The Ansonia contingent
was under the command of James Il.
Roach. There were 400 horses in line, also
large number of prominent democrats in
hacks. The following was the line of
march:
Up Elizabeth street to Atwater avenue,
companies from Ansonia, to Seymour ave-
nue., to Hawkins street, to Sixth, to An
son, to Burlock lane, to Oak, to Fifth, to
Arson, to Elizabeth, to Main, to Bridge,
to Shelton, to Howe avenue, to Brook, to
Cliff, to Elm, to Coram avenue, to Kneen
street, to Howe avenue, to Bridge, to Biz
mingham, through Main to Derby, down
Front, up Main to Derby avenue, to An
sonia. to Central street, to Beaver, to Ire
mont, to South Cliff, to State, to North
Cliff, to Fourth, to Liberty, to North
Main, to Bridge, to Clifton avenue.

RELIEVED OF HIS WATCH.

A Bold Theft Committed Near the
Union Depot Yesterday Afternoon
The Thief Arrested.
Yesterday afternoon William Scott, while
conversing with two Meriden young men,
Bernard Haus and G.. A. Simbler, both of
whom were under the influence of liquor,
was seen to steal gold watch from the
pocket of Haus by two men. The latter
went in search of An officer but were un-
able to find any. Later an officer WAS
found and the story of the theft told to
him, and he reported the case to the police
authorities but neglected to take the names
of the two witnesses.
Later in the afternoon Officer Trip was
informed that q man was examining Q
watch in a water closet in the City market
and otherwise acting in q very suspicious
manner. The man was at once placed
under arrest and locked up at police head
quarters, where the watch was identified az
the one stolen from Haus.
The two men who saw the watch taken
from the pocket of Haus will greatly
oblige the police department if they will
either call at or send their names and ad-
dresses to the police headquarters.

How to Secure Needed Ministers.

Do pastors of churches realize how
much they can do for increasing the
greatly needed supply of candidates
for the ministry To stimulate and
encourage my brethren, let me state
that it has been my privilege to intro
duce probably twelve or fifteen young
men into the sacred calling, and among
them the late honored and useful
Superintendent of Home Missions in
this state, DR.. Warren. He was clerk
in store when l began my ministry
in Dubuque.
Soon after he entered upon his course
of preparation there came family
there fiom England, the head of which
had been lay preacher (Congrega-
LionaD in the old country. l soon
opened the way for him to become a
home missionary in Iowa, and he was
afterwards ordained and became very
useful. He first settled on little
place in the suburbs of the city, where
he and two sons cultivated little
land.
One day the eldest of these sons
came to my house to sell vegetables,
and, as he left, l followed him to the
gate, and suggested to him that he
ought to become a preacher of the
gospel. He started, and seemed much
astonished at the suggestion; but it re-
suited in his studying and becoming a
minister, and he has been very useful
in both the East and the West, and is
still laboring in Illinois.
About the same time l made similar
remark to his younger brother, and l
will let him tell the story. He says in
a letter just received from him: g My
thoughts go back to the spring of 1874,
when, a boy just arrived from across
the sea, sat, with the other members
of our family, for the first time in the
! little stone church at Dubuque, and l
shall never forget the day; afterwards,
the Sabbath morning, when l stood up
in the new brick church and covenanted
TO be the Lords, with you as my pastor.
You were the first minister l ever felt
comfortable in approaching. l fought
shy of all had known, but you would
get near me, and then I was glad you
did. And the June morning and the
melon patch in which l was hoeing
How 1 was startled by your inquiry
William, don't you think you ought to
be minister Till then l bad not
even thought of it; but that question
moulded all my life, and to-day, forty
five years after, gave God thanks, who
inclined you to be so interested in a
very bashful lad, and to kindle a new
fire in my soul which has never since
been quenched."
This last individual is now an hon.
ored and very useful minister of our
denomination in this state. inter-
ested very benevolent gentleman in
New England in the Sc young men, and
he aided them pecuniarily in their
course of study, and they both gradu-
ated in the first class in Iowa College
and at Andover Seminary. l have re-
ferred to these cases in the course of
my ministry in the hope that it may
lead other pastors to look for young
men of promise in their churches, and
encourage them 10 enter upon the
noblest calling among men.-John G.
HOlbrOok, in Pacific.
