MILFORD.

Republican Caucus-very Important.
 The caucus for the nomination of republican representatives and justices of the peace is to be held in the town hall tonight.
 A strong ticket, the strongest possi- ble, ought to be put up, for the demo- crats are making great fight to recov- CT their lost ground. Every good repub- lican ought to go to the caucus If pos- sible, and help select the men who can win. The republican hosts in Milford were never more united than at the present in the one idea of holding the ground already won and of winning more.
 Let every good republican who would win in November and give the demo- cratic ring a final smashing, come out to the caucus and vote for first rate men to represent the good old town.
 For years there hasn't been anything like the chance to carry the town f,r the republican party as there is to-day. Victory is in the very air. Every re- publican ought to help make 1t a regu- lar Waterloo for the demacracy.

CASES OF CRUELTY DENIED.
NO TRUTH TO THE LONDON sTAND.
 ARDS RUSSIAN STORY.

Carcful Search Revealed Only One Case of
 Cannibalism and That Where Two Es-
 caping COnviots Alto Their Companion--
 One Insane, the Other Dead.
 London. Oct. A.-Early in this year the Standard printed a story about tho horrors of prison life in the Russian convict settlements on the island of sanghalien. Murder. mutilation, star. vation and cannibalism. were among the desperate features of the settle- ments as described by the corresponds ent. An unbroken procession of conveys with mutilated corpses. he said, passed from Onor to Rykovskaya. As usual a most vicious convict who had won the favor of the commandant was reps resented to be the author of the worst atrocities. In this case his name was given as Rhakoff.
 An open letter from Rykovskaya was published to-day over the signature of Dewindt denying most of this story- Careful search. says the writer, shows that there was only one case of cans nibalism on record in the Saghalien settlements. Three convicts escaped to the forest and two of them ate the other one. One of the cannibals was found to be insane.
 the other was fogged and eventually died of poisoning.

FRENCH CANADIANS.
An Enthusln.tic Republican Rally Last Night-Club Fo, m 'i-ofncers Eiectsd.

An Enthus,n.tIc Republican Rally Last
 Night-Ciub Fo, nm d-ofscers Elected.
 A meeting was held in Days hall last evening for the purpose of organizing a French Canadian republican club. Owing to the inclemency of the weather only a small number was present. but those present were enthusiastic enough to make up for lack of numbers. The meeting was addressed by Mir. Fred M. Ryder. ex-consul to Quebec. Major W. A. Lincoln, Frank Baldwin. E. L. Lindsley and Mir. Felix Chilling worth. Mir. Chillingworth spoke of the troubles which the French Canadians had received at the hands of the Eng fish, and then asked if those present would vote to keep in power party which is working for the interests of England by the tariff, and otherwise thereby showing its hostility to French Canadians.
 As another instance of this he cited the case of MT. Ryder, a Frenchman. who was appointed consul to Quebec by MT. Harrison, but was deposed by MT. Cleveland. and a rebel Kentucky colonel was appointed in his place.
 Mr. Lincoln spoke of the benefits of the protective tariff, and as an instance of its benefits he spoke of the corset industry, which has increased won derfully during the time In which 1t has been protected. Dozens of other indus tries can be mentioned which have grown in the same way under protec- ton. Since MT. Cleveland in 1887 began to advise tariff reform the business in- terests of the country have been on the decline, and for the last eighteen months millions of dollars have been squander- ed by the party of rebel brigadiers.
 MT. Lindsley spoke of the injuries of tariff tinkering in the Wilson bill, also the incongruities of the income tax, which comes indirectly from the pockets of worklngmen.
 Mir. Baldwin also made few remarks. At the close of the addresses a vote of thanks was tendered to the speakers. The French Canadian club will, 1t is said, have membership of over 250. The hall in which they met has been very artistically decorated in colored bunting and stars and stripes by MT. D. B. Candee at his own expense. The club has been invited to participate in the demonstrationthis evening and has tvoted to accept ---'. D. s
 Alter the speeches, w34ishawere flnei | the speakers retired and the members of the club elected Joseph Levigne presi- dent, L. J. Aubry secretary, Arthur Brunean assistant secretary, Charles Demarse treasurer, Fred Cumberland as- sistant treasurer The members voted to have another business meeting at the same hall Friday night, and hope to see the hall full.

HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
The Body of Rev. Dr. Turney Found in HI
 Hut.

The Body of Rev. Dr. Turney Found in His
 Hut.
 Birmingham, Ala, Oct. N-At Falk- vile yesterday the dead body of the Rev. Dr. W. M. Turney, who had been missing for several days. was found in a small cottage in which he resided alone. The doors were securely locked and half empty morphine bottle on the bed told the tale of suicide. though the body was too badly decomposed to admit of an autopsy.
 Dr. Turney. who was Methodist minister, was seventy-two years old. He married handsome young woman, who was his third wife. Four years ago he became intensely jealous of her. One day he saw her talking to another man on the street. When she came home he choked her to death without warning.
 He was arrested. but was adjudged insane and sent to the state lunatic asylum at Tuscaloosa.
 Six months ago the asylum physi- clans pronounced him cured and he was released. When he returned home he learned that the prosecution against him for wife murder was about to be renewed, and circumstances indicate that he deliberately planned suicide as he had a small cottage built with out windows and insisted upon living in it. alone.
 He was at one time prominent in church affairs.

He Has g Peculiar Treatment That Does
 Much for the Czar.
 Berlin, Oct. 24.-The Yelta correspon- dent of the Lokal Anzeiger says: Prof. Leyden's peculiar system of feeding has done much to support the czar's strength. The patient is fed four times a day-at z and il B. m., and p. m. Every time he receives three-quarters of a fibre of buttermilk and often houillon, with the yoke of an egg. No solid food is given him. This diet suits the czar. Prof. Leyden has the full con- fiednce of his patient.
 London, Oct A.-The representative in Livadia of the British Medical Jour- nal telegraphs this afternoon:
 "The czar's legs were punctured to- day and the edema by this means re- duced. Preparations are now being made to perform thoracentesis with a view to relieving the distress in breathing by restoring the action of the heart. In- halations of oxygen have temporarily fortified the heart. For many hours his majesty has been fully conscious. He is less Respondent and is encouraged by his temporary improvement, but his malady shows little or no real improve ment.

Peculiar Order.

Boston, Oct. 24.-A rather unusual or der has been received at Charlestown navy yard from the navy department. The commandant of this station is in- structed to notify the general foreman of the construction department that there shall be no discharges from his department and no increase of employees until after January 1, 1895. Naval ottf- cials at the yard cannot comprehend any reason for the issuance of such an order and as orders from the ecrstary are imperative and cannot be question: ed they are not likely to learn the causes that prompted 1t.

SHEPARD'S FAITHFUL DOG,
While Shepard was Locked Up the Cani11d
 Remained Outside Whining.

While Shepard was Locked Up the Canine
 Remained Outside Whining.
 : A striking instance of a dogs devo- tion to his master was seen at police headquarters yesterday. Arthur Shep- ard, who claims to reside in Worcester, came to this city yesterday, accom- panied by his shepherd dog, and imme- diately proceeded to fill up on bad whiskey. After a short time Shepard became intoxicated and fell into the hands of Officers Curran and Stanford, who placed him under arrest, Shepard resisting violently all the time.
 During all this time the dog never left his master, but even accompanied him to police headquarters. When Shepard was placed inside the lockup the dog was turned into the street. where he stood during the pouring rain throughout the entire day, whining and crying under the window of the lookup. Every effort was made to drive him away, but all proved unavailing, and finally after the animal had remained in the rain throughout the entire day through the intercession of Chief Keu- nedy the dog was allowed to go into the lookup and spent the balance of the night with his master.
 The meeting between the faithful ans imal and his master was a touching one. Each appeared as if they had been sep arated for years, and the dog and mass ter actually hugged each other. After- ward the dog lay down contentedly and slept throughout the night by the side of his master Shepard will be tried in the city court this morning charged with drunkenness and resistahce

More Mills Suspend.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. A.-seven more mills suspended operations to-day through lack of sufficient number of weavers to make it worth while to run. An important meeting of the manufac- turers' association was held this after noon, but it's action is not yet known, although there is 8 very general idea among citizens that compromise of some kind may be effected. Several mills, it is reported, will close to-mor- row, and it is more than probable that all will be idle in another day or two if a settlement is not reached at once.

Argued Yesterday-Re garding Bradley
 Street Property.
 Attorney J. Birney Futile was in Bridgeport yesterday arguing the case of Robinson vs. Clapp before the su- preme court. Dr. John A. Robinson, librarian of the Yale law school, and John w. Clapp own adjoining lots on Bradley street, New Haven. MT. Clapp attempted recently to build house on his lot and the court of common pleas granted Dr. Robinson an injunc- tion to prevent MT. Clapp from erect ing his house, on the ground that 1t would interfere with light and air of Dr. Robinson's house, as well as a tree which stands on the boundary line. MT. Futile appealed from this decision to the supreme court, and the case was argued yesterday at Bridgeport. Ar vine and Russell appeared for Dr. Rob- inson and Henry G. Newton and MT. Tuttle for MT.

 WIFE AND COMMITS SUICIDE.

Last Sunday He Accused His Wife of Being
 Untrue to Him-He was Morose and Left
 His Shop sud Then Wont Home-Both

 Providence. Oct H.-Ciarence Coggs- well, prominent citizen of North Att tleboro. and a member of the Odd Eel lows. this afternoon killed his wife and then committed suicide at a point on the old Kent road, about three miles from North Attleboro and just over the Wrentham line.

Monday morning he went to work as usual and worked all the week, although his fellow work men noticed that he was moody and depressed. He went to his work at ' o'clock this morning as usual and work ed silently until 10 o'clock, when he threw his tools with the exclamation, T have stood 1t long enough"
 He then left his work. He was seen about town during the morning and wore an abstracted look, noticing none of his acquaintances who saluted him. He did not go home for his dinner at noon, but about 2 o'clock went there and suggested to his wife that they. go to Sheldonville to see his mother, who has been sick for some time.
 Sheldonville is about four miles from North Attleboro. It can be reached by several roads, the most direct being the old Kent road, through the woods. The couple started for Sheldonville about 2:3O, leaving the three children in school. About 4:30 the dead bodies of MT. and Mrs. Coggswell were found, the woman having been shot in the head and the man having committed suicide in the same manner.
