A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Threatening Letters to Family Traced
 to the Wife.

Threatening Letters to a Family Traced
 to the Wife.
 LEWISTON, Me-, Oct. 5.-The solution of mystery that has for some time pug zled the inhabitants and created much excitement in the town of Gray, appears to have been reached.
 In April, 1891, a note was found in the hallway of the residence of Leonard Bennett, then located in Brunswick. The letter purported to come from a sweet heart of MT. Bennett in his youthful days, and asked to be given an opportunity to meet him.
 Little attention was paid to the first missive, but others came in quick success sion, threatening the life of Bennett's wife and his grown up son and daughter, and expressing in burning terms love and devotion for the husband and a desire that they might live,together
 To escape this persecution the family removed to Gray, but still the letters came and the family lived in constant fear that the threats would be carried out and that some member of the house hold would be murdered.
 A quiet investigation that has been going on has resulted in fastening the authorship of the letters on Mrs. Bennett, who is believed to be insane.

CEDED TO US AT LAST
United States to Have Pago
 Pago Harbor.
WILL BE USED AS A COAL STATION.

The Acquisition of Great Importance, Be
 American COmmerce--COnsul Sewell's
 Good Work In the Negotiations
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The negotiations which have been pending for more than two years between the United States and the Samoan Islands, by which the harbor of Pago Pago was to be ceded to this gov ernment for use as a coaling station, have at last been successfully concluded.
 The revolution delayed the consumma- tion of this project and it was not until the conclusion of peace that any progress was made.
 When the titles to the various tracts of land which the United States sought to acquire were laid before the Attorney General for examination he found them defective, there being several claimants to each parcel of ground.
 To obviate this difficulty the claim of each individual was purchased separately, the aggregate price paid being $5,O0O.
 Since the restoration of peace in the Samoan Islands Consul Sewell has as- siduously devoted himself to the compile tiop of these negotiations. As 8 conse- quence the deeds for the property at Pago Pago are now in the possession of this government, and a delicate and import ant diplomatic mission has been per formed.
 Owing to the small sum expended in purchasing the ground there is a consid- erable appropriation left available for the immediate construction of wharves, storehouses, and other necessary build ings.
 Accommodations will also be provided e. ho nd oh representing the United States govern ment in the Samoan Islands.
 This acquisition is of very great i'm portance, as it affords increased protection to American commerce, rapidly develop ing in the South Sea Islands.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Dennis Sullivan Returns to His old
 Habit and Couldn't Stand Disgrace.
 After four months of sobriety Dennis J. Sullivan, of Shelton, tasted liquor again yesterday, got drunk and is now suicide. Sullivan was hard working man and lived in Shelton with his wife and four children. He had been a drinking man up to four months ago when he suddenly changed his habits All went well until yesterday when he again tempered with the flowing bowl. He went home in an intoxicated condi- ton and told his daughter he was going where he would need no supper. He then jumped into the canal and before he could be rescued was dro" ned. The body was recovered at 9 D. m. The sui eide was 45 years old. It is surmised that he brooded over having drank again and the disgrace of it made him kill himself.
 Nellie Downey of Bridgeport took laudanum late last night. Shortly after midnight the ambulance was called and the surgeons pumped the poison out of her stomach. She will live. That the girl was determined to die is shown by a note she wrote before drinking the laudanum. It runs as follows: "Jack dear. am sorry. Can't help it. Good bye." Jack is supposed to be her best fellow.

Convened in Special Session to Consider
 Important Matters.
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 5.-The special session of the General Assembly convened yesterday. The Governors message was read, recommending the passage of an act to relieve the existing difficulty with regard to the Newport municipal election and acts to insure better protection against the introduction and spread of cholera.
 The Republicans introduced bill pro- viding for the holding of a city election in Newport on the fourth Wednesday in Oc- tober under the new ward division law, the appointment of inspectors of the count of the votes, the preservation of the ballots on dem and of 10 citizens, and making the new date permanent.
 The Democrats presented bill provid- ing for an election this year under the old law and for the repeal of the new division bill.
 Bills were also introduced in accord ance with the recommendation of the Gov ernor concerning public health, giving the board of health supervision of all water supplies and authorizing other pre- ventive measures.

REAL ESTATE MEN IN BUFFALO.
Gov. Flower Welcomes the Delagates-
 Henry Georges Speech Last Night.


 Henry Georges Speech Last Night.
 BUFFALO, Oct 5.-Last evenings ses- sion of the second annual congress of Real Estate Dealers was called to or der shortly after s o'clock Henry George of New York delivered an interesting ad- dress on the "Single Tax Question" While MT. Georges theories on this ques- tion were not entirely new to many of his hearers he was listened to attentively. He advocated his plan of taxing land alone, while leaving the improvements untaxed, in vigorus manner and re- ceiyed much applause.
 The convention then took up routine business, receiving reports of committees which will be acted on later. It is safe to say that there are fully 1000 delegates and visitors in the city.
 The Detroit and St. Louis contingents came in shortly before midnight. The former came in a special car decorated in true western style, aud bearing banners modestly declaring that the City of the Straits was the greatest place on earth.
 The St. Louis men said they want the next convention and are going to make 8 fight for it.
 Two special trains conveying delegates from Chicago and points west of that city came in about o'clock in the morn ing. Louisville, Nashville and Cincin- natl delegations arrived an hour later and the delegates from New York and Boston, Philadelphia and other points In the East reached here about the same time.
 No sooner did the delegates emerge from their coaches than they began to boom their respective abiding places as the only place to be considered for the next place of meeting.
 This question will likely prove the big bone of contention before the convention. At 10 o'clock, the hour for the opening of the convention, Music Hall was well filled.
 There was considerable delay in calling the convention to order and it was Il o'clock before President Veil brought down his gavel.
 Rev. Dr. Hubbell delivered the invo- cation and Mayor Bishop welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city. Gov. Flower was then introduced and in a neat address welcomed the delegates to l the State of New York. Col Henry l.. Turner of Chicago re- sponded in a neat speech and the Con gress was declared formally opened.

BrOOELY2s B9'GefS.

Thomas J. McGrath and Miss Nora Wagner were married this morning at Patrick's church by the Rev Father Duggan. The best couple were Dennis Finn and Miss Mary Bloomfield.
 Three men in a blackboard wagon, attached to rather spirited horse, drove over from the Brooklyn district last evening shortly before 7 o'clock. The gates at the Bank street crossing of the Naugatuck road were down to allow a freight train to pass out from one of the sidings. The horse became unmanageable and dashed through, breaking. off the south gate on each side of the track and ran up Bank street. The men did not return to the depot to make any excuse, and their names are not known,

The American People Are Growing
 Sensible,

A presidential year was al- ways looked upon by nearly the whole people as a sure in- dicai on of a very dull year; there was no reason why it should be so, but the people imagined it, and that made it so. Many people imagine them selves sick, aud they go to the doctor and he gives them bread pills after looking into their case; they go home, imagine themselves well, and they are we'll. This is all in the imag inati6n.
 Now people are beginning to imagine that as much business can be done presidential years as other years if they pay the same attention to business.
 We will do $25,OOO more business this year than we did any year since we have been in business; we will make more this year in proportion than we did last year, although we are seI- ling cheaper. Why? Because our increased business enables us to buy in larger quantities, thus saving all freight charges. TEe parlor suit you bought from us last year can be pur- chased now for 20 per cent less; the same is true of our magnificent line of chamber suits; we are going to stick to ou1 resolution and make the Waterbury Furniture Go the cheapest first class house in New England; this is worth living for.
 The sales on our Stoves and Ranges are increasing at g rapid 1ate. Our Carpet de partment was a grand success from the start. This is because everything we handle must bt right.
