pEATH ON HE RAIL.

A Naugatuck Women Killed While Re-
 turning FrDm Work. g
 Mrs William Snyder, age 55 years, was instantly killed by the the o'clock train at Naugatuck last night. The deceased was an employe of the Goodyear Metallic Shoe company, and was at work in the fac- tory until few minutes before the acci- dent which caused her death. She left for her home in Andrews alley shortly after g o'clock The train was late and she probably thought that she would have time enough to cross the track before it would come along. Some freight cars were standing at Andrews siding, and as the woman was crossing to the track at this point, the passenger train came along. The engine struck her and tossed her over against a freight car. The force with which she struck the freight car was so great that she rebounded and fell under the wheels of the moving train, the whole train passing over her body. The engineer reported the case as soon as he reached the station. Medical Examiner Futile was summoned and gave permission to have the body removed to her home. It was frightfuliy mangled: the legs were severed from the body and it was otherwise badly mutilated. Mrs Snyder was an honest, industrious woman, and was we'll and fa- vorably known in Naugatuck and Water bury. Besides her husband she leaves two children, Mrs B. H. Porter of Simons- vile and. Mrs John Noble of Naugatuck.

THAT JAIL BREAKING.
No Trace Obtained of the PostofIice Robber
 Who Escaped.


 Who Escaped.
 NEW YORK, July 6.-Unitcd States marshals, postotfice inspectors, detectives from the Mulberry street headquartcrs and all the patrolling force of the police department are on the lookout for the three robbers who escaped Thursday from Ludlow Street jail, but the jail breakers arc still at large. Sheriff Tam son hunted too.
 An impetus was given to the quest by the announcement from Washington that Postmaster General Wilson had offered a reward of $1, ,0D0 each for tho capture of Joseph killoran, Charles Allen and Henry Russell.
 The federal officials say that they have set in motion all the forces at their com mand and arc confident that the fugitives cannot long escape arrest There is equal assurance on the part of the central office men that they will soon have the runa- ways.
 Sheriff T"mS.'n is not saying much, but he, too thinks tl at the men will be re- captured. He aI:n;ttci, for publication only, that he has Il clcw to their where abOuts. He does net admit, however that he is in any respect liable for the es- cape.
 'Why," said he, 'tthere is no liability 1 shall not even be ill contempt of the fed eral courts for failing to produce them in court. The government should not send men of the character of the escaped pris- oners to such q jail Ludlow Strcot. It is not proper place for them. The pis- tols? Where did the robbers get them? How do know? I am not sure that they had pistols, but am having a quiet in vestigation made which will clear up that matter. One thing is certain. I have no liability. Make that as strong as you like"

A Card.

The members of the Second Division, A O. H., feel that they owe an explana- tion to the public. Owing to the very in- clement weather on the Fourth of July they were. unable to give the attractions as ad- vertised and the artists having engage ments elsewhere for the fifth, were unable to stay over.s Then again the exhibition which was booked for the Fifth of July be- tween Dan Murphy of Boston and Jack Cosin of New Haven, was prohibited by Prosecuting Attorney Webster and Chief Egan. Then, too, the fireworks illumina- tion was prevented by the ,disagreeable condition of the atmosphere. From these manifold unforeseen ca!amities the Second division. has been the main sufferer While not being able to give the attractions intended for reasons given above they were compelled to pay every cent origiuslly agreed. The members hope that this ex- planation will satisfy all patrons and hope to find that the good reputation of the division has not been tarnished by cause over which the members had no control. If the weather proves favorable the fire works will be given this evening. Ladies will be admitted free.

LENZ'S MURDERERS.

Discovered to Be Officers High In the Serv-
 Ice of the Sultan.
 PITTsBURG, July 6.-Another letter con- frming the death in Armenia of Frank Lcnz, tho Pittsburg wheelman, who was making tour around the world, has been received here by T. F. Langhans from a missionary in Asia Minor. The name of the missionary is not given because his life would be endangered if the Turkish government should learn that he was working on the case. The missionary, however, is working with Sachtleben, the St. Louis man who was sent out in search of Lenz.
 The latter states that they have discov- cred that Lenz was murdered by Turkish cavalry officers high in the service of the sultan, and for that reason the work is attended with great danger. The bell of LenZ's bicycle was found at Tehouk His mirror, mail box and another box which he is known to have carried were found on the river between Shamina and Musersta, while the tires of his wheel were discovered at Tchelkni, where a Kurd was using them for q saddle girth.
 The letter states further that Sachtle- ben could find the remains of Lenz if it were safe to undertake the work, but ow. ing to the high standing of his murderers the task is too dangerous, and all further Investigations will have to be abandoned unless the government of the United States interferes and gives protection.

BIDS NOT OPENED.

The Court House Committee Not Yet
 Ready to Open Them.
 The court house committee held 8 meet ing this morning but no business of any account WITS transacted. Several bids were received but it was voted to return all bids unopened and adjourn until next Saturday at 10 o'clock.
 The committee also voted to pay the architect four per cent of the cost of the tbuildiug. He is to superintend the con- struction of it. Rumors are rife around City hall that Waterbury contractors will lose the building the same as the architects lost the plans. It is hinted pretty strong ly that the architect is laying wires for some New Haven contractor. That is one reason, it is claimed, why the bids were not opened this morning and the time was extended one week.

IHE BRENNAN ESTAIE
Suit for islander Thrs.tsn.a if rongus

Suit for Islander Threatened IfTOngues do Not Cease to Wag.
 There was little breeze over the we'll known Brennan case in the probate court this morning. All the personal effects had been brought into the court room, Mntii the place looked like junk shop. Before the auction started, Thomas Brennan one of the heirs accused Dr O'Hara the trustee of bringing in different watch from the original. Attorney O'Neill here took a hand and said that all such talk must cease. There had been too much talk of robbery already and unless it ceased he would bring suits for islander. Attorney O'Neill then acted as auctioneer. and the articles were sold as follows: Gold watch, $4; silver watch, 50 cents; cane $11; two clocks, $1, 50 and 50 cents; fruit dish, 50 cents; castor, 20 cents; bible. $1; gives 25 cents. and desks. trunks and the contents for $2. Attorney ONeill will certainly prosecute some of theipeople unless they cease their talk of fraud. The property was mostly bought by the heirs,
