Such is the high reputation Of the Hon. Walter

been brought so prominently before our people.
Mr.. Lovejoy is of an ilustrious family. Indeed
the brilliant and scholarly Prof. Loveioy of Ma

professor, in passing through town, spoke feel
ingly of his fathers recent serious illness, and be-
came enthusiastic concerning his restoration to
health. He stated that it was perfectly wonder
full to see the change in his fathers health since
he took the weIl-known medicine, DR.. Greenes
Eervura blood and nerve remedy.
And the Hon. Mr. Lovejoy himself was found
overlooking with gratitude toward this great
remedy.

THE GLASTONBURY MURDERER
Surrenders Himself to the Police at
south NOrVvaIL, Conn.

Surrenders Himself TO the Police at
South NOrVVRIk, Conn.
A poorly-dressed man walked into the
police station at South NOrwalk, Conn,
Friday night and asked to be arrested, say
ing that he murdered man in Glaston-
bury, VT, last April. He was locked up
and the chief of police of Bennington,
who went to South Norwalk, identified
the prisoner as Mcdowell, the murderer of
John Crowley of Glastonbury. Extradi-
ton papers we're secured, and Mcdowell
was brought to the jail at Bennington.
Mcdowell says that his real name is VIM.
Conroy, and that he is an English subject
who was arrested on suspicion of being
implicated in the Phoenix park murder,
but that he was released for lack of evil
dence. He claims that Crowley assaulted
him, that he knocked Crowley down and
then kicked him into insensibility. The
following day, when he heard that Crowley
was dead he fed over the mountain, and
finally found his way to Pennsylvania,
where he has worked since. Conroy is ev-
identity insane on the question of fighting,
and in his story, which he related in an
earnest, straightforward way, he told of
MANY fights in which he had participated
in the old country before coming to Amer
lea. His one delusion is that the friends
of the late John Morrissey of New York
are continually following him with the in
tention of killing him. When Conroy es-
capped from this state he passed through
Wlndham county. He was seen in STRAIT
ton and Dover, but no trace of him was
found after he passed the latter place until
he surrendered himself at South NOrwalk.
Later.-McDowell, or Conroy, has made
confession, in which he says that he
came from Dover to BrattlebOro, and spent
two or three hours at the railroad station
here. He then went to Keene and wan
dered over a large section of country be-
fore going to Connecticut.

The Rrltton Case Of NorthneId.

Judge Conant of Greenfield settled the
|Britton case of Mortified Tuesday, over
which there has been several hearings, by
the appointment of Herbert G. Parsons
guardian of Mrs. Sarah A. Britton on the
ground that she is incompetent to care for
her own property. She has an estate of
about SIS, 900, and has recently given about
$4,000 of this to Fred Britton, favorite
grandson. OF this amount $4,000 is in the
Savings bank. An injunction has been
placed upon this fund and the guardian
s~ill probably try to hold it for the benefit
pf the woman and her heirs.
