He was one of the most devoted of sons and during his mothers life was constantly attached to her interests and happiness. Most of the papers and the dental library that belonged to his father constituting collection of great interest, are now owned by him. The documents now involved in the con- gressional inquiry, years ago, as to the validity of Dr. Wells claim to the dis covery, are of more than usual impor- tance. The inquiry was conducted by United States Senator Truman Smith, of Connecticut, and amply established Dr. Wells title.

Walkers church, and has for years been one of its influential repre- sentatives He is a bachelor and lives in retirement The old homestead, where his mother died five years ago, Is in his possession.

GUILFORD's OLD CHURCH.
Special Services Held Last Sunday on tn
 Occasion of the 15Oth Anniversary.


 Special Services Held Last Sunday on the
 Occasion of the 15Oth Anniversary.
 Special services in commemoration of the 15Oth anniversary of the founding of the parish of Christ church, Guii- ford, were held at the church last Sun- day. This parish was founded septem- Der 15, 1744, so that last Saturday was really the anniversary day, but it was thought preferable that the special services should be held on Sunday. For months past the members of the church have desired that the church should commence the second 15O years of it's existence free from debt. The result of this desire was that Sunday found the parish free from encumbrance. This fact added not little to the gladness of the occasion. ss ,, f At 10 a. m. the Rt. Rev. John Will Hams, bishop of Connecticut, admins tered the rite of confirmation, and af- terwards delivered 8 short address. At 1045 in the morning prayer with com, munion service was held, at which service the seating capacity of the church was we'll taxed. Dr. w. G. Andrews, rector of the par ish, was assisted by Rev. Drs. Pincheon and Hart, both of Trinity college, Hart ford. The sermon was preached by Dr. Johnson of Brighton, N. r., archdeacon of Richmond, who is descendant of one of the founders of the parish, and therefore was f1ttingly chosen to speak, on this occasion. s..

A MYSTERIOUS WAGON

Supposed to Have Some Connection With
the Disappearance OF DR.. ConkIin.
CAssoPoLIs. Mich, Sept. "A new
clew to the disappearance of Dr. A. B.
Conklin is being followed, which may
solve the mystery. Sunday night after
dark a wagon with double box is re-
ported to have been seen entering town
from the north with two unknown
parties. Later it was seen to pass DIR.
Conklin's office twice. A member OF
John Bronner's family heard heavy
wagon go past their house on back
street to point on the shore of the
lake unfrequented at night
About this time Mr.. Robinson was
returning from the opposite side OF
the lake afoot. He heard outcries
near this spot and hurried over to see
what was the matter. He saw two
men, colored, jump into a wagon an.
swering the description of the one men
toned above, and hurriedly roll away.
Groans were heard by others in that
vicinity. Later a wagon answering
the same description and containing
two men left town to the north. The
wagon was going rapidly.
Upon this clew Stone Lake will be
dynamited, as the murder theory now
seems most plausible.
This mysterious wagon was seen by
many but not recognized, and is
strongly suspected of being connected
with DIR. Conklin's disappearance.

ST. CLoUD, Mimi, Sept. 1O.-Durine
yesterday afternoon a report was
received at tthe Great Northern
dispatcher's Office, that the towns.
of Mora and Groundhouse, nineteen
miles this side of Hinckley. were both
on fire, and doomed to destruction.
The operator at Mora informed the Of
fee here that he would leave his post
and lock the Office. Citizens had gath
cred around the depot and were pre-
pared to fee from the threatened dan
ger.
At about o'clock last evening an
other dispatch stated that by the
change of the heavy wind which had
been tanning the flames all day, the
fire had taken another direction and
Mora might possibly escape
AT Soule station a large sawmill and
lumber yards were wiped out. The
people at Mora had ample warning of
the approaching fires and if the FIRE
did enter the town they have found
safety in Snake river.

GAVE THE PLOT AWAY

And the Kerrville Lynchers VIII soon
In Limbo-The Attempt to Trap the snSr
in by Getting His Son to fake Fart IN sno
Affair Leads to Exposure.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Sept 1o-Ine
whole plot of the Kerrville lynchlng Is
now laid bare. Before many hours
elapse it is thought everyone who ha0
anything to do with the affair, or the
majority of them, will be behind the
bars.
Bob McCarver, son of Sheriff Nc
Carver, gave the snap away he was
invited to participate in the massacre
by H. n. Smith, one of the men now
languishing in the county jan nnaer
Indictment for murder in the first de-
'1'N' -
gree.
When the invitation to assist in the
assassination was rendered to Mc1ar-
yer it was represented that Sherin NC
Carver knew all about it. and that
Judge Cooper of the criminal court
was n OF in the dark. OF course these
representa- tions were untrue, and were
made by Smith for the purpose, II pos
sible, of mixing Sheriff McCarver up IN
the affair through his son. so his hands
would be tied if an investigation should
| be instituted by the authorities Inc
scheme was bold one, but it failed
McCaryer's examination resulted IN
the arrest of Tailor Cox for perjury and
the fixing of a $4,000 bond on NC
Carver's head to insure his remaining
| in the city. McCarver did not give
| this bond yesterday and as conse-
ouence he spent the day behind the
big gate of the Shelby county bastile-
nominally a deputy, but really pris-
| oner.
| Sheriff McCarver had been told OF the
| plot bv his son several days before the
grand jury had got hold of the boys
story, and because he did not tell what
he knew to the inquisitors he is receiv-
| ing some censure at the hands of the
members. He and Judge Cooper had a
long conversation Saturday night and
it is said that the judge read the riot
act to the high sheriff.
Kumors have been floating around
for several days to the effect that the
prisoners charged with participation
| in the lynching were being treated
with more leniency than will be al
lowed by the order of the Judge The
grand Jury must have looked into these
rumors for they recommended Gen.
Kellar Anderson for the position of
| tailor so highly that Sheriff McCarver
had no option but to tender it to An
| derson.
1t is conceded that the grand jury
is now in possession of the most dam
aging evidence against the parties now
in Jail charged with the killing and it
is confidently expected that an indict-
ment will be returned in the next day
or So and that bench warrants will be
issued against the parties suspected.
