Important to Telephone Subscribers.

The new and extensively improved
switchboard for the New Haven office
has been placed in position, and will
be put into use on Sunday, July 18th,
1896, at 6 p. m.
On account of the necessity of chang
ing almost two thirds of the local sub
scribers numbers the company is send
ing out a new directory, with Salmon
colored cover. This will be delivered to
everyone by Saturday night.
1t is of the greatest Importance to
users of the telephone to put this new
list into use promptly at o'clock on
Sunday next, and not before. After
that time the old directory, with the
Straw colored cover should be destroy
ed, as endless confusion would follow
the use of the old numbers after the
new board is working, and the same
thing would occur if the new numbers
were used before that time. j1O ct

His NinetIeth birthday.

OF interest to New Haven friends of
the gentleman mentioned is the follow
ing from the Worcester (Mass) Ca
zette:
Marvin Chaplin, who founded the
Massasoit house in Springfield, cele-
brated his Goth birthday by a recep-
ton at his home in that city Wednes-
day, July s. The anniversary was on
Sunday, and many friends called to
congratulate him The public gather
ing Wednesday was little more elab-
crate than the celebrations of his birth
day in recent years, which have been
observed by the family regularly. The
Massasoit house was really part of
the old Western railroad, now the Eos
ton and Albany, for the trains stopped
regularly at it's doors to give the con-
ductors and passengers meals. A bell
on the old station was rung to call
them back when it was time for the
train to start again The Massasoit is
now managed by Mr.. Chapins nephew,
w. III. Chaplin. Except for the snowy
white beard and hair Mr. Chaplin might
pass for a younger man. He Is alert
and mentally vigorous, so that he at
tends to his business interests, which
are varied, for he has been identified
with the management of concerns like
the gas company and Springfield Fire
and Marine Insurance company. He
keeps young in spirit, and has the rare
faculty of interesting young people, so
that his circle of friends increases rath-
er than diminishes as older companions
are taken away. Thus, while Rev. Dr.
Buckingham, Homer Foot and only a
few others who approach him in years
are living, he has no cause to be lone
ly, for he keeps in touch with each
generation"

ANOTHER MURDER.

Marguerite Drown, white woman,
twenty-one years of age, was murdered
yesterday eyvening about o'clock in
her chamber in the house of Mrs. Sarah
Drown, her foster mother, the residence
being known as Seat Pleasant, we'll.
known resort seven miles from Ben
ning's Station, Maryland. All of the
circumstances 60 to show that the
crime was committed by James Smith,
a colored man, who was employed as
waiter at the hosiery. The wound
which caused her death is stab in the
neck on the left side by broad-bladed
knife, which penetrated the lugular
vein. Following so fast on the Kreglo
murder this crime has caused consider
able excitement in the Benning's neigh
borhood. Mrs. Drown, who keeps the
boarding house, and all of her boarders
left Seat Pleasant to go to Washington.
At that time the girl was about the
house as usual. When Mrs. Drown re.
turned at 6 o'clock she was informed
by the colored cook that Miss Margue-
rite could not be found. Mrs. Drown
went Immediately to the young
lady's room and found the door locked.
Help was summoned and the room door
was burst open. They found Margue-
rite lying stretched on the floor on her
back. Her head was almost severed
from her body, and she lay in great
pool of blood. There were no signs OF
struggle, her dress being arranged as
usual and in perfect order. James
Smith, colored man about IS years Of
age, who had been in Mrs. browns
employ for several years, was found to
be missing. He had been seen about
the place shortly before 6 o'clock, and
several servants had noticed him fol-
low Miss Marguerite up stairs. Suspi-
cion at once fastened upou him and a
hunt is now in progress for the man.
All last night crowds of excited men
gathered about the house, and Coroner
Bailey, who had been summoned from
Bladensburg, had great difficulty to
prevent them from doing harm to sew
eral colored servants who are employed
about the place. For several weeks
past many persons in the house had
noticed Smith making advances to the
girl, which she had Indignantly re-
pulsed. On one occasion, it is said, the
man attempted to kiss her, but was
frightened away by the approach OF q
boarder.
