STATE PRISON NOT FULL.
Wethersfeld, March 31.-The num-
Der of prisoners in the state institution
is the smallest that it has been for
some time. The prospects are that the
number will be still further decreased.

is growing continually less each day
IL fo,, how hos, NH in, n
appearance. When the contemplated
discharges are made the number of in

THE PARMELEE MURDER CASE.
East Hampton, March 31.-The latest
phase in the Timothy L. Parmelee muir
der case is the generally accepted re-
port current here tonight that Edward
Rogers, the man now under arrest for
the crime and awaiting trial for the
same, had a pal. Rogers has said moth
ing himself which would tend to impli-
cate anyone else, but Detective Bearce
has not allowed the case to rest where
he had already brought it, and is now
busy looking for second party sus-
pected of guilt in connection with the
murder This afternoon the Pinkerton
man was busy hunting up more evil
dence. He visited several places where
Rogers was known to frequent while
he was chopping in Cobalt and gained
considerable information which was
unknown at the time of the trial. He
has not been able to secure the names
of any others who might have been
connected with Rogers in the work, but
circumstances all along have pointed
to the theory that more than one man
attacked old Parmelee. Since Rogers
was given the hearing here last Fri
day Detective Bearce has visited him
several times. On one occasion he ask
ed Rogers If the tramp whom he made
mention of at the trial had given him
anything more than the pistol, knife
and watch which have been identified
as Parmelee's Rogers replied that he
had received nothing else from the
tramp. Detective Bearce then searched
him and found two articles which We're
not produced at the hearing Friday.
These are Parmelee's pocketbook con-
tanning small amount of money and
the old mans match box. When asked
to explain the possession of these ar
ticles Rogers showed signs of anger
and stubbornly refused to answer any
more questions
East Hartford, March S1-Another
-Lo11 ioI,4 to l;c
cuss the establishment of a canning
factory in this town. The meeting was
q, success and factory will be built
shortly as soon as a company of in
terested citizens can be formed. The
project owes it's origin to the large
amount of fruit which has been wasted
here annually whenever there has been
a remarkable crop Of fruits and vege-
tables. The market in Hartford soon
becomes overstocked and produce rails
ers are obliged to peddle from house to
house to dispose of their vegetables
The loss in time is a great deal, and
it is figured that although the price re-
ceived from Gamers would be less than
at retail the farmers would still make
more than at present.

hibition of the Connecticut Horticul-
tural society opened in Jewell hall, this

was to discontinue the operation of the
Rockville branch would have taken eff
. feet to-day The former company has
signed new lease of the road, and the
. Rockville branch will be operated as

The continuation of control on the part
| of the richer concern is a source of
satisfaction to the residents of Rock
vile, as they would have been greatly
inconvenienced by a change.
