Says the Shooting Was Accidental.

Says the Shooting Was Accidental.
 Guilford, Nov. 22,-All prosecution in the Frank Madison shooting case is dropped. A hearing was held at the house of Madison before Justice G. E Norton last night at o'clock, and Madison and his wife both refused to testify against Mrs. Nettie Washing ton, who was held for the shooting. All the parties concerned in the affair are colored. The Washington woman lives with Madison and his wife, but is said to have a husband living in New Ha- ven. Madison s still in bed nursing the bullet wound in his head and his statement was taken from him in that condition. He said that the shooting was accidental.

BIBLE WORK IN ENFIELD.


 Conducted by MT and Mrs, Butterfield.
 These representatives of the Con- necticut Bible society have called upon every family in that town, distributing Bibles and Testaments, engaging in re- ligious conversation in the homes hold ing meetings In several neighborhoods and taking religious census.
 They found 16 Adventist families, em- bracing 52 persons; ' Baptist families with 2S persons; 142 Congregational families, 696 persons; 192 Episcopal, S55 persons; Lutheran, 20 persons; PAP Methodist, 972 persons; 245 Presbyterf- an, 1915 persons; 556 Roman Catholic, 2,S63 persons; 26 Universalist, 107 per- sons; 27 of other denominations, 154 persons, and 20 having no preference, AT persons.
 Of the 142 Congregational families, 10 living in Skitlco attend the Somersvile church; 113 families are connected with the Episcopal church in Thompsonville and "A with the one in Hazardville; SS Methodist families are classed with the church in Thompsonville; 132 with that in Hazardvflle and 21 with that at Warehouse Point; ITO Presbyterian families are connected With the First Presbyterian church in Thompsonville and 75 with the United Presbyterian church; 442 families belong to the Ro- man Catholic church of Thompsonville, 1OS to that at Hazardville and to that at Windsor Locks. Sixteen families be- long to the Catholic Apostolic church. 2
 The whole number of families found is 1,47S, and of Individuals 6,749.
 Divided according to nationalities, there were S35 American families, 10S English, 131 French Canadian, 47 Ger. man, 323 Irish, 1 Polish, Russian, Swede, S4 Scotch and Chinese.
 Protestant families not represented in church or Sunday school number S9, and 67S Protestant persons were found who did not claim to attend church. Twelve Roman Catholic families report ed themselves as non-attendants, and 232 persons. Protestant children be- tween four and sixteen years in Sunday school 139 Roman Catholic children of school age in Sunday school 4S6, not attending, 142
 Number of volumes of the Scriptures sold, 160; donated, AS. Protestant fami- lies without the Bible, &; supplied, 8. Roman Catholic families destitute, 273; supplied, 8.
 The visitors were received with uni- form courtesy and succeeded in break ing down prejudices against Christian ity in the homes of many who neglected public worship. Their report shows several very interesting cases, where persons who had been strongly opposed to religion are believed to have begun a Christian life. Part of this number have already united with the church.
 This noiseless work has been a bene- diction to many homes both in temporal and spiritual things. Some cases of want and suffering have been brought to the attention of the benevolent, who have speedily acted the part of the good Samaritan. One of the Catholic priests and one of the Sisters of Charity have very promptly and generously cared for the needy.
 It is gratifying to observe, as this work goes forward, that there is a growing disposition on the part of all denominations, Catholic as we'll as Pro- testant, to cooperate in this endeavor to carry the Gospel into every home.

Lawrence, Mass, January S1 1896
 After trying dozens of remedies for constipation, without any success, my wife got a bottle of F'rost's Constipa- tion Cure, and it benefited her be- yond anything she could realize or ex- pect. It is safe to say that she is fin- ally cured after suffering for years. One of the pleasantest features Is the effect without a particle of gripe.

An Outrage-Warning.

On Monday of last week, Ray Arvin,
Charley Riddleburger and seven others
of the Five Points gang invaded the
farms of P. H. Hensell and Thos.
Aud, and proceeded to take posses
sion. Mr.. Hensell's son ordered them
off, but they refused to go. He told
them if they did not leave he would
kill their dogs and when they failed
to go, he shot one of the dogs and
later another, killing both.
After young Hensell shot the dog,
FIVE of the gang opened fire OH him,
wounding him slightly. Reloading,
Hensellc charged, firing as he advanced,
while the Five Pointers scattered. Mr..
Hensell and neighor who was help
ing him to butcher, hearing the fusi-
lade started out to reinforce the boy.

left side, without inflicting any dam
age. uG lHdlduuSlS lHCh A~NiSe'N~N'
