SENSATION IN MERIDEN
GRIFFIN, TIE BUSINESS COLLEGE
 HAN, LEAVES THAT CITF.

Ills School Furniture Attached for Debt
 The Owner of the Building Refused to
 Allow an Attachment and Was Thrown
 Into the Gutter by the Officer,
 Meriden, May 7.--This morning there was a lively scene in front of J. F., Griffen's business college. Deputy Sheriff Downs appeared with two att tachment writs, He attempted to get into the building, but Trustee Risley of Pacific lodge of odd Fellows, who owns the building, had locked the door and refused to open it unless he was paid forty days back rent.
 Sheriff Downs and Risley became in- volved in an altercation and finally the officer threw Risley into the gutter. Sheriff Downs then got a broom and smashed in a hundred fragments one of the panels of glass in the door. He then easily effected an entrance into the schoolroom and attached the eight typewriters, nine tables, three large desks used for banking purposes, and forty chairs belonging to Griffen.
 During the past two weeks Manager Griffen allowed a discount of from $3 to $5 to all those who paid their regu- lar three months tuition in advance. Nearly all the pupils attending took advantage of this and are consequently out the money advanced
 Ansonia, May 7-Principal George ID. Bolton of Griffen's Business college ar rived home from Bridgeport, last night, after visiting Meriden and the Park City. He left Derby to have an inter view with Proprietor Griffen in regard to Keeping the local college under his name open the remainder of this term. MT. Griffen is the proprietor of the Merlden and Bridgeport colleges and conducted night business college in Wallingford last winter. He has pay ing institutions wherever located.
 After Mr. Bolton reached Meriden, Monday he found the Meriden college closed and the young lady in charge of the institution could give no satisfac- tory explanation as to MT. Griffen's whereabouts, unless he was at his home in Lakeville. The proprietor had not called at his Meriden institution for several days.
 Mir. Bolton then went to Bridgeport to make inquiries and learned that Mir Griffen was sick in bed at his home in Lakeville. where he recently moved with his wife.
 MT. Griffen owes quite a little money in connection with his college in Derby and is thought to be in financial straits on account of inability to collect his tuition fees. He has several institu- tions on his hands and with the busi- ness connected with all of them, his friends think he is laid up from over work. He is a man with much ability and with money easy he could do even a more extensive business than he now controls.
 His friends are in hope that he will overcome his troubles as soon as he l recovers. The Derby institution will not be reopened, this week, unless MT. Bolton receives word from Lakeville to do so.

 From the Philadelphia Times.1


 [From the Philadelphia Times.l
 The United States Supreme court has just handed down final Decisions in a legal dispute over a question of identity which is the most remarkable in the history of law, outdoing even the fa- nous Tichborne case. It is the story of A Union soldier who was killed and bur jed on the field of battle yet who was resurrected and rejoined his family and friends. Few tales of fiction approach in interest this romance of a real Enoch Arden, whom cruel fate 'relegated only last week to a penitentiary.
 On April 9th, 1S62 William Newby, private in an Illinois regiment, was killed and buried on the field of Shiloh. At all events, no question of the fact was raised for nearly thirty years. He left in Carmi, H., a widow and a moth CT.
 Nearly four years ago a man walked into Carmi, hatless and by no means well clad, and announced that he was Newby, the lost soldier. Nobody. recog- nized him at first, and this was not sur prising after such lapse of time. But he talked with old residents of the place and recalled so many ante-war incl dents, with "reminiscences of persons and places, that finally they were con vinced of his identity. He explained that he had been shot in the head and left on the battlefield. Afterward he consciousness and was made
