RECTOR DROPPED DEAD.
Rev E. T. Sanford, of New Milford, Expires Suddenly Of Heart Disease.

Rev E. T. Sanford, of New Milford
 Expires Suddenly Of Heart Disease.
 New Milford was painfully shocked this morning when it became known that Rev E. T. Sanford, rector of St. John's Episcopal church in that place, had dropped dead, at the rectory, at 230 o'clock this morning. He retired last night in his usual health, excepting for slight cold, but complained of dis tress after retiring, and feeling himself growing worse instead of finding relief, he got up to procure something to af- ford relief. and immediately dropped dead on the floor A physician was hastily summoned, but too late to be of any service. The cause of his death was pronounced heart trouble.
 MT Sanford was 55 years of age, and has been rector of St. Johns church about six years, going there from New Haven, where he was for many years rector of Grace church. He succeeded Rev E. R Brown, at New Milford. He was well beloved by his parish and highly esteemed by the citizens of his town, regardless of denomination. He leaves wife and daughter.-Danbury News, Jan. 18th.

A party of ten couples from this place attended the annu- al hop of the Social Club at the Casino at Lime Rock on Friday evening and returned with glowing accounts of the pleasant time enjoyed by them there.
 An exchange gives the following sensible advice, which our readers might try. It is certainly quick way to become rich: "Money makes money. No one is so poor that he cannot rake up penny to start on. Now upon the first day of the month deposit one cent in the bank and on each of the succeed ing days of the month double your de- posit. Follow this programme faithful ly and at the end of the month y u will be agreeably surprised to find that your account will show the sum of $5, 368,- 709 12 to your credit With that little sum all you have to do is retire and let the other fellows hustle."
 Royal Hoag is looking for the man who invented the story that he (RoyaD got frightened and bewildered and ran away after chopping down tree that accidentally fell across the railroad track near Williams woods just before the 3. AT p.m. passenger train was due at Canaan on Jan. 3. Royal states that after the tree fell he ran toward the ap- preaching train and Jagged the train himself After the train stopped, he and Conductor Clark Lane walked together to the tree. He relates their conversation in regard to the incident. He tells who helped chop up the tree and get it off the track. He says when he first saw Joe O 'Reilley he (O'Reilley) was moving brush after the tree was chopped up. From another party we hear that O'Reilley states that he (O'Reilley) was near the Charles Barnes Sons siding where lime is loaded, and he saw the tree fall and at the same time heard the train coming, so he ran out and Jagged the tram. Probably both O'Reilley and Hoag Jagged the train at different points but did not see each other, but who is the man who invented the story that Hoag ran away? Conduc- tor Lane corroborates Hoag's version.

 IN MEMORIAM.

Last week, Jan. 10th, the friends of Mrs Hannah Roys were sadly grieved by the news of her death in Hudson, after few days illness of congestion of the lungs. Although she had long suf- fered from poor health, such was her energy that she seemed by force of will to conquer disease and the in6rmities of age. Through her long life she was ever actively engaged in good and gen. erous works. She was lifelong resi- dent of Sheffield, Mass. The twelfth child of Col. Abijah and Betsey Steph- enson Curtiss, she had outlived all her brothers and sisters, having in count less ways cared for them when they and their families were walking in the shadow of sickness and death.
 Her husband, Harvey Roys, passed from earth last February, after the six tieth anninersary of their marriage Henceforth her life was sadder and lonelier, although still filled with kind- ly deeds for others, and still actively in- terested in all the questions of the day, Children. grandchildren and great grand children remain to cherish her memory and to "call her blessed" They all, with an ever widening circle of relatives and friends, found loving welcome in her heart and home. To all she offered an ever ready hand of sympathy and help. She was most generous and self sacrificing. Her first thought was ever for the welfare of others, and this con- stant trait of her life was strikingly manifested in her last illness and but tew hours before she passed away.
 At an early age she united with the Baptist Church of North Egrem ont, from which she took a letter to the Congregational Church of Sheffield, where she has been an efficient worker for more than forty years. During most of this time she has been below ed teacher in the Sunday school. She was one of the actixe members of the Sheffield Friendly Union from its be- ginning; and the Union was in her thoughts the morning of her death.
 Year by year, while she labored on unselfishly, her hold on life grew Trailer. till. at last, short, sharp illness loosed the ''silver cord" and the brave, bright spirit was free to pass from the after uoon of Earth to the radiant morning of Heaven, LIDS.

MAYNARD MAGGIE FOUND.
Miss Whitknect Escaped from HaIIoweII In.
dustrial School But is Captured.

Journal readers will recall a item il
Monday mornings issue about a 14-yeArs
old girl escaping from the Hallowell In
dustiral school, by tearing the bed clothes
In her room into strips tying them to
gether and lowering herself from the
second-story window to the ground at the
rear of the building.
That young maid was Maggie whtkncct
| of Calais, who has been an inmate of the
| institution about 10 days. She was found
in this city, Tuesday afternoon, on the
East side of the river, and the Journal was
informed that her hiding place or rather
where she was staying, was at Manford
Frost's, near Pettingill's Corner
1t was while some of the Industrial
school folks were away to chuc,h, Sun
day, that Miss Maggie conceived her plan
of escaping and carried 1t out quite sue
cessfuliy. She left the school without her
hat and by not having any was traced to
Augusta, Sunday night. and when last
seen here on that evening was at the rail
road depot.
The story related to a reporter, yester-
day afternoon, was that Mr.. Frost saw
her on the railroad track without any hat
and took her home
1t is understood that the girl has two
sisters at home who have gone astray and
that Maggio's mother desired that she be
sent to the Industrial school 1t seems
quite probable that she wrote home that
she was to make her escape from the
school. as a telegram from Calais, yester-
day, designated her whereabouts. Maggies
father is stevedore at Calais. She is
good looking brunette and at the police
station, yesterday, said she would like to
enter some good family, where she would
have coed home and kind treatment.
When asked why she left the school, she
answered that she had no desire to remain
and wished to get away because she tlidn
like the place. She said her treatment
while there was kind, but freedom was
preferable.
