had the fellows story, as already given
Foster said he had a woman pal inside
the Aragon, by whose means he secured
the diamonds from a jewelry drummer
stopping at the house. He was arrested
and sentenced for five years but he has
never given up the diamonds, so he says,
and claims to have them yet He told this
story in the belief that he would be sent
back to the penitentiary to serve out his
term there instead of being tried
and sentenced for perhaps a long
er term here. 1t was certainly
a lucky catch all around. The
thief was bagged in short order, and the
ladies recovered their tewelry and money.

Trials of Newspaper Men.

The Rev Dr Talmage has obtained some interesting and accurate informa- tion about the interior workings of a newspaper office. upon which he bases the following truthful remarks:
 One of the great trials of the news paper profession Is that members are compelled to see more of the sham of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office day after day go all the weaknesses of the world-all the vanities that want to be puffed, all the revenges that want to be reaped, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers that want to be thought eloquent, all the meanness that wants to get it's wares noticed gratis in order to save the tax of the advertising column, all men who wapt to be set right who were never right, all the crack brained philosophers with stories as long as their hair and as gloomy as their finger nails in the morn ing, bereft of soap-all the bores wbo come to stay five minutes, but talk five hours. Through the editorial and re- portorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day after day, and the temptation is neither to believe in God, man nor woman. It is no sur prise to me that iu.this profession there are some skeptical men. I only wonder that newspaper men believe anything.

DEAN RE-ARRESTED.

Albert l.. O. Dean, %, was arrested at the residence of his mother Monday night by Deputy Sheriff Frank Van Deusen and Constable Callendsr and locked up in the lookup, where he was confined till yesterday morning. await ing the requisition papers, when he was taken to Hudson, N. |.
 The crime with which Dean is charg- ed is that on the night of August Eth inst, at Chatham. N. Y, he entered the house of Herman Preuscner, a poor German mason, and took Mir Preuscner's s little daughter Alma, aged 10 years, from her bed, while she was asleep, and car ried her out of the house. The perpe- trator of this outrage accidentally walk ed up Mrs Preuscner. Her husband pursued the intruder and forced him to drop little Alma, but be escaped. Dean was subsequently arrested at Old Chat ham and examined before Justice F. E. Page, who discharged Dean for lack of evidence, although Mrs Preuscner and little Alma identified him as the intru- der. Deans brother-in-law and sister, MT and Mrs George Skidmore, swore that Dean was at their house all night August 7th. This decision of the jus tice gave general dissatisfaction and it having been learned in Chatham that Dean had served term in the Massa- chusetts state prison for an attempted assault on little girl and new evidence having been secured Dean was re-arrest- ed as above stated at his home in Cs- naan where he had been since his dis charge at Chatham.
 There is much popular excitement and indignation in Chatham and vicin- ity owing to the fact that there have within the past few weeks been many attempts to sbduct little girls.
 Dean Nas taken to the Columbis county jail at Hudson, N. r., yesterday by Officer George A. Hubert, of Old Chatham, N. Y., leaving on the 10 24 P. R. X N. E. train. It was thought that it would not be safe to take Dean to Chatham, owing to the strong popu- lar feeling there against him.

neath of Ex-Governor Morris.

Ex- Governor Luzon B. Morris was stricken with apoplexy last Thursday morning and died at three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. He was found at 10 o'clock in the morning lying unconscious on the floor of his office in New Haven. Drs Gsynor and Bellosa of New Haven, called his attack vertigo from indigestion, but the ex-governor s son, pr Robert Morris, of New York, diagnosed acute apoplexy.
 Luzon B Morris was born in New town in 1927. His parents were not wealthy and he worked in blacksmith shop and in tool factory to earn the necessary funds to defray his expenses at college. He was graduated from Yale in 1854 and then studied law. In 1855 and 1856 he was elected to the General Assembly from Seymour. Some years later he moved to New Haven. Here he soon acquired lucrative law practice, winning confidence in his abil- ity and honesty. He was elected to the House in 1870, 1876, 1880 and 1881, and to the State Senate in 1874. In 1888 he was candidate for governor on the Dem ocratic ticket and received plurality of 1900 votes, but was defeated in the leg islature. In 1890 it was claimed by the Democrats that Gov. Morris received 8 majority for governor, but owing to the dead. lock in the legislature Gov. Bulk eley and the other state officers. except the comptroller, elected in 1888. held over. In 1892 Gov, Morris was clearly elected and served his term, making an excellent record as governor. On the expiration of his term he resumed his law practice, his speciality being the management of estates, for which de- partment his experience as probate judge of the New Haven district 1857 1863, tended toqualify him.
 He leaves wife (who was Eugenie l.. Futile of Seymour) and three sons and three daughters. One son, Dr Robert T. Morris, practices surgery in New York city. His daughters are all graduates of Vassar. The eldest married Chas M. Pratt, of Brooklyn, N. I.

The Light Battery Drill.

A representative of the NEWS attend ed the public drill of Battery K, U. s. A., on the Chadwick meadow at South Lee, Mass. last Thursday afternoon. IL was lovely day and probably three thousand people were present, who had come in all varieties of vehicles, from buckboards to kelly-ho coaches, and on bicycles and on horseback. It is needless to say that the pretty girl was also there in force.
 The battery drill was very interesting and exciting, but not easy to describe clearly. The battery consisted of about 50 men. all in white helmets, including the captain, the lieutenant, two ser jeants, two buglers and the man who gallopped about with the bright-red forked gnidon. on which were displayed two crossed gilt cannons. Also four ten-feet-long brass rihed cannons and four caissons for the ammunition. Four horses were attached to each of the guns and also to each of the caissons. Captain Dillenbsck, who is very sol dierly looking man with black nous. tache and brorzed, red face, was in command and during the evolutions was conspicuous figure, as he galiopped around, with his drawn sword flashing in his upraised hand as he gave the or ders, which were instantly repeated in the cheery, ringing notes of the bugles by the two buglers, who gallopped by the captains side.
 The evolutions were all executed at a full gallop. The guns, each preceded by its caisson, were always in line, side by side. At times the battery would move forward and then suddenly wheel and then the guns would be formed in. to battery and unlimbered and the horses with caissons and limbers would gallop of to little distance and then, one after another, the guns would be fired with deafening reports and the whole battery would be enveloped IT white cloud of powder smoke. Al together it was a stirring sight and ons long to be remembered by those who witnessed 1t.
 About Sept. 18th the Fourth Ligh Battery, U. s. artillery, will arrive a Tyringham, Mass, from Fort Adams Newport R. I and go into camp fol about forty days. The officers of Bat tery K. have been royalty entertained and these Fort Adams men will nov | have their turn.
