 Resolved, that in the death of our sis l ter, we recognize the Divine Hand, l and bow in humble submission to the will of the same, feeling the loss sustain ed by IS of so worthy a member from our midst. The memory of her Christia spirit and wise counsel, which she was | ever ready to grant, giving us courage in difficult pla2es,t persevere in the good work that others might be helped, and strengthened in this battle for the right, will ever be cherished as among our most precious memories.
 Resolved, that we, as members of Granite lodge, in this department of Christian work, do deeply mourn the severance of ties of personal friendship, and the loss of life, where for so many years she has been power for good, in this place especially, where she has lived and labored.
 Resolved, that we tender to the sor- rowing husband and daughter of the de- ceased, our heartfelt sympathy in their loneliness and sorrow, believing that a Divine Providence, who has so affected them, will abundantly sustain, ,and we be- seech for them the especial mercy and favor of God in this trial.
 Resolved, that the charter of our lodge be draped in mourning for 30 days, and that this testimonial of our sorrow be forwarded to the family of our de- parted sister, and copy be spread on our minutes and published in THE NEW TOWN BEE. - Mrs Julia F.

 Just before County Commissioner IIoulihan was to take the train for Bridge port on Wednesday morning, man who claimed to hail from Philadelphia, came into the hotel office at the Grand Central, and wanted to hire a horse of MT Houli- han. He wanted to drive about town, to see various parties that he intimated he knew. He called the county commits sioner by name, and stated that he had relatives who had boarded at the hotel. Mir Houlhan was inclined at first to re- fuse him, being a stranger, and did SO, but finally concluded to accommodate him. He was given rig and started out. The team he hired consisted of q black mare about l2 years old, weighing HOO, side bar top buggy, black robe. The man in question is of light complex ion, with a Jewish nose, would weigh l50 and wore a stiff hat and brown over coat. When Mir IIoulhan arrived home at : o'clock, he found the man had not returned. He immediately telegraphed or telephoned to every available point, and about p. m., Constable Blackman aud Judge Cavanaugh started towards Danbury. Deputy Sheriff Glover and George Burr started for Danbury about 0o'clock. It was found that the Phlla- delphla gentleman had gone over Stony Hill way and had inquired the way to Danbury, Bridgeport, etc., which looks suspicious at the start. Judge Cava- naugh started yesterday morning up towards Babbitt's bridge and Brooktield, but obtained no clue. Mir Houlihan is determined to bring him to bay, even if 1t costs him $20O. Every point in the New York state line has been covered and 1t seems as if the man must be apprehended.
