GOOD LUCK WAS ILL LUCK.
Murray Found a Purse OF Money and
Et Now Is Charged With Theft

Murray Found Purse OF Money and
Now Is Charged With Theft.
John Murray of Ansonia will be before
the superior court tomorrow on charge
of theft. His case is peculiarly painful.
Last January he found pocketbook on
Main street, Ansonia, containing S72. He
had been out of employment for months
and his wife and two children were in ex-
treme poverty.
Immediately after finding the money
Murray bought some food for his family
and then started for Waterbury in search
of work. He was not successful and he
returned home that night. The next
morning he was arrested Judge Munger,
of the city court, found him guilty of theft
and bound him over to the superior court
under $500 bonds.
A former employee, who lived in Shell
ton, offered to furnish the bonds for his
release, but just as he was about to do so
he was suddenly taken sick and died.
Murray has been in jail since and his
family is supported by the town. He will
be defended tomorrow by Attorney Nor
gan J. Flaherty.

A Joke on Longfellow,

A good story of Poet Longfellow is
told by the Bath (Me) Independent.
Theodore S. Mcclellan was foreman of
the printing establishment of Joseph
Griffin when Longfellow, then living
i'll the Barrows' house, issued his first
volume of poems and worked on the
book. Longfellow was very painstaking
with his manuscript and always used to
send in the copy for each form nicely
stitched together. To distribute it
among the compositors it had to be cut
apart. This annoyed the poet greatly,
and he protested earnestly against the
mutilation. Three different proof sheets
were sent him, it being understood that
if the last proof was not returned to the
office within half an hour the form could
be struck off. On one occasion Long
fellow wrote ON the back of the first re-

In a letter addressed TO II. b. Chamberlain,
Drexel building. says that he has with
drawn voluntarily and Internationally the
suit he brought against Mr.. Chamberlain
in connection with the affairs of the Fort
Worth Park Place Land Company. Mr..
Paisley says that he is convinced that great
injustice was done Mr.. Chamberlain by the
statement made in the ~affidavlts and COM
plant in the suit brought against him for
the amount of the investment made by
him Mr. Paisley in the stock of the COM
pany. Mr.. Paisley says further that he is
satisfied that the interests of the Park

ton at Mr.. Chamberlain hands and that
his management as president has been, in
every way, faithful and honorable. He is
satisfied that the title of the land is vested
in the Park Place company and, in con-
cluSion. says: 81 look on you again, as l

Reporting and Literature.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Some years ago, at a press club dinner,
one of the speakers, an editorial man, and
a very bright one. made the remark: Re
porters are not literary men" If he had
he would not have uttered a more obvious
or more inoffensive truism. IT effected as
little on literary men as IL did on report
ers. But il was said in a big city where
whom were young and new to the business,
and more of whom were Dretty POOR re-
porters for other reasons. All these took
unlbrage at the remark, and great was
the disturbance in that press club, for a
long time. 1t was all very foolish. The
speaker simply meant that a reporter writ
ing for the. news columns of his PAPER is
not writing what Is generally understood
as literature, and that. II he knows his
business he will not attempt TO. There is
no reason why the same man may not be
q firSt-rate reporter and q very cCmpe-
tent literary man. but IL Is not desirable
that he should do both at once. The man
who thinks that he can successfully COM
bins the two characters is apt to be rather
a nuisance in the news room. But the
mental qualities that enable a reporter to
cover an assignment thoroughly and
write il up in good newspaper English,
which is the best sort of English. are Il

outside the office, he sits down to write
literature: whereas, the literary mans dis

ALLEGED TRAIN WRECKERS.
Only One Arrest Made at Houston
Lynching Stories Denied.

HOUSTON. Tex, Feb. 1~0.-Sensational
kilograms have been published in Chicago
and other papers, under Houston date, tell
ing of the lynching of train robbers here.
No lynching has taken place. The only ar
rest has been that of Jack Dillingham;,
whose shoe tracks fitted those at the wreck
and led TO his house, and whose shotgun
contained wads corresponding to those
found at the wreck. He is still in Jail, and
continues, although telling conflicting
stories, to contend that he is innocent.
Officials are very reticent as TO clews, but
are working diligently. The Mexican boy
who is said to have made a written state
ment is kept under surveillance. His state
ment Is said to be that he was employed
TO carry the crowbar TO remove the spikes,
1t is said his statement is to
the effect that the plot was concocted by
two Mexicans. Their expectation was that
foot embankment and that all hands on
board would be killed. They were there to
rob the dead bodies. AS the passenger
coaches remained ON the track they feared
an attack from them and abandoned the
plan of robbery, running away as soon as
crashed into the basin. This theory now
is accepted, as the express safe was I'M
