About Change In tho Control of the

About a Change In tho Control of the
New England Road.
WINsrED, July 21.-It was reported this
afternoon, and the report seem to be well
founded that the Philadelphia and Read
ing had called in all of it's locomotives on
the New England branch and that the
branch would pass into the control of some
other road on August /. An official of the
road who is conversant with the situation
when questioned about the matter stated
that he did not know positively that such
an order had been issued, but he heard that
such was the case. He would not be sur.
prised to see the branch pass into the hands
Of some other road on the first OF. the
month, in fact he did not think that the
Reading combine could hold 1t afte,
that date. If q change should take place
he thought that the Central of New Jersey
or the Lehigh Valley stood a good cbanc,
of gaining the control. There are many
who think that the report Is well founded
and that the road will not be part of tn,
P. & r. after August l and they think tina
the change will bring numerous change
and improvements.

MURDER I'm NORWICH,

An Unknown Man. Probably
Tramp, Insulted a Young Lad!
and Ransom .. ShOles, YOUNG
Man, Hit Him and Killed Him.
NORWICH, Conn.,, July 2.-An unknow,
man about thirty five years Of age wa
murdered at Preston, about three mile
southeast of here, this afternoon by Ran
son s. Sholes, twenty-five years of age, {
young farmer living there and of very
respectable family. The first news of thu
murder was brought to this city by Sholes
himself this afternoon.
Late this afternoon he rushed into police
headquarters and told the officer or
name he did not know at his home in Pres
ton. and that he wished to surrender him
self. He said that while talking with the
daughter of Farmer Townsend, whose farm
is near that on which he himself lived in
Preston, this afternoon a man came along
the road and said he wanted drink of
water. He was told that there was some
at a spring in the lot near by. The man,
however, insisted on going into the house
to get the drink.
To this the young lady objected and
Sholes told the man to go away. They had
some words and Sholes claims that the fell
low insulted the girl. The man went away
and soon came back. Sholes says he re-
peated the insults and wanted to fight, but
finally went off. He came back second
time and words followed which led to
blows. Sholes hit him under the ear and
says that the fellow then went off and the
last he saw Of him sat down under a tree.
A short time after some boys who ap-
preached the unknown found that he was
dead.
When the officers went out to Preston
with Sholes the man was still lying under
the tree and the body was taken to this
city, where an autopsy will be performed
to morrow. The dead man is about thirty
five, dark complicated, medium height and
rather poorly dressed.
Sholes disappeared after the body was
taken to this city and was not arrested un-
til II O'Clock to night, when he was found at
Laurel Hill by Sheriff Rogers and placed
under arrest. To the sheriff he said to
night that he did not know the man or had
not seen him until he met him in front of
the Townsend house.
Miss Townsend was present when the
fatal blow was struck, and will, it is said
corroborate the story of Sholes. He is
about twenty five and quite we'll known
and popular. His family is we'll known
and one of the most respected of Preston
The affair has caused the greatest excite
ment In the town. The murdered man is
not known in this locality and it is thought
he Is q tramp.
