Sad Death of Warren Vibbard In New
 York.
 The sad news was received in this city yesterday that Warren Vibbard, an upholsterer who at one time worked for Chamberlain & Go, of this city, died in New York Tuesday from taking a drink of earbolic acid, which he sup posed to be whlskey, He was worn out with watching and caring for his wife, to whom he was devotedly attached and who two days ago had given birth to a boy. She has suffered greatly and her husband remained at home, and together with his mother, was In con- stant attendance, He had no sleep since his son came into the world, and, feeling the need of stimulant, went to a closet to get drink of whiskey. |.
 There were two bottles on the shelf -one of whiskey, the other containing carbolic acid, Vibbard took the wrong butllS. blb liul ASolibS HIS HIS until he had taken a deep draught. He hurried into the sickroom and told his mother of the mistake he had made. His wife, who, he thought, was dozing, overheard him and became frantic. All though Vibbard was suffering intense agony, he concealed 1t and tarried by her side to assure her that he had not drunk the acid, but had almost done so. He thus lost time during which an anti dote might have saved his life.
 When finally he had comforted her, he hurried to the drug store of J. F. Comerford, 105th street and Columbus avenue, where he took an antidote. Then, becoming worse. he was sent to the Manhattan hospital where he died at 4:10 p. m.
 The relatives did not dare to tell Mrs. Vibbard, fearing fatal effect upon her They told her that he had been sent out of town by his employers.

Miss Clark formerly was a teacher at Miss Carnelia F. Bairds fashionable boarding school in Norwalk. She left Miss Baird's seminary when it closed last June for the season. The Norwallx Sentinel of last evening says: "She has many friends in Norwalk and a high tribute is paid to her talent and pro- ficiency as a teacher.
 A Norwalk lady informed reporter this morning that from one or two lit- tie things she had heard while Miss Clark was in Norwalk she was in- cliined to think there was more TO- nance than tragedy in Miss Clark's dis appearance."

A Barn BurnsUn.

Torrington, Aug. 14.-John Gatf's old barn on Valley park burned down Tues day afternoon just before o'clock. It was set by number of boys who got into the barn, although it was locked, and were probably smoking when it caught fire. In the building were five tons of hay, an old street sprinkler, moving machine and two wagons, all of which were in the ruins. The fire department went to the scene of the blaze, but were of no use. The loss is about S40O, insured for half that amount

CAN'T FIND MISS cLARK.

Her Friends Puzzled Over Her Mysterious
 Disappearance-said to Have Once
 Taught School Here.
 Plalnfeld, N. J., Aug. 1.-The most mysterious disappearance which has ever been recorded in the annals of Plainfield Is that of Miss Lucretia Clark who came to this city from Syracuse ten days ago, and assumed control of the institution on Park avenue, former ly known as Harmed academy, the title of which she changed to the Stratford, with the intention of making it a fashionable boarding school for young women. Miss Clark left, or Is supposed to have left Plainfield on Friday morn ing for New York, but the circum- stances of her leaving are of the most unaccountable kind. Not the slightest trace can be gained of what she did after she left her niece, Miss Irene M, Yanne, at the Stratford on Friday morn- ing.
 She made arrangements on last Thursday to go to New York the next morning to visit a furniture store on Eighth avenue. Before going away she gave her niece $2.50 in change, at the same time remaking that she would give her larger amount only for the fact that she had nothing less than $50 bill with her. She was in good | spirits, and said she would return in the afternoon, as she did not intend tc make purchases of furniture at this | time.
 She left home at about z o'clock, os- | tensibly to take the train for New | York. This is the last seen or heard ot i her. When evening came and Miss i Clark did not make her appearance her niece felt alarmed, and going tc the home of James Maritime, with whose family Miss Clark had become acquainted, Miss Yanne related the cir. cumstances. Though Miss Clark's ab. sence could not be accounted for by MT
 Maritime, they formed the conclusion that she had been detained in the city
 and would certainly return on the nex | day.
 All through Saturday Miss Clark's lreturn or word from her was awaited l but without result. On Saturday ev
 ening MT. Maritime, realizing that some | thing was wrong In her absence, pu | himself in communication with tn, New York police and hospital authori
 ties. These officers could not furnisl l the slightest intelligence. Not even trace of the woman answering her de
 scription could be found. Mir. Martin, and Mrs. F. E. Sweet of Syracuse, wht
 is a, relative of Miss Clark, went t, l New York on Monday morning ant
 availed themselves of every mean to find Miss Clark. They visited tn
 furniture shop and found that she hat not been there on Friday or any othe
 day. They also visited many of tn
 big dry goods houses, but at none o
 these places could trace of her b found
 Edward Nelson, ticket agent, wa asked whether or not he had taken $50 bill in on Friday morning. He sai, he had not.
 Miss Clark is about five feet tall is well proportioned, and has fai
 complexion and light faxen hair. Sh
 is fosty years old. When she left hom | she was attired in a brown travelin
 suit. She has filings of gold in he
 front teeth. Years ago, it is said, sh
 taught school in New Haven.
