All a Fake.

Bridgeport, June 22-AThe story of a mysterious murder in Easton published in the New York papers this morning is pronounced fake by Coroner Doten. No report of it has been made to him, and he says nobody in Easton heard of islntil it was published. Bennett See ley, chairman of the republican town committee of Easton, and virtually an Easton directory, said this morning there was no such place as the Broad hurs house in Easton; that the names mentioned in the published stories are not known in Easton, and nobody in the town heard of the alleged crime.
 Superintendent Birmingham says that Maggie Lien, an immoral charac- ter was up Easton way on a spree dur ing the week, and he thought she might have caused a fight between two or three admirers picked up on the way. He does not believe there is any foun- dation whatever to the murder theory.

HURGLARS' WORK.
Shattered the safe-Got $500.

Norwalk, June 22,-Burglars forced an entrance to the Roton Point Im- provement company's big hotel at Ro- ton Point, NorwalS harbor last night or early this morning and shattered the safe in the office with tremen- dous charge of dynamite that wrecked the room and everything in 1t, They escaped with $500 in currency and spe- cie, and several bottles of choice wines and Q number of cigars.
 Excursion parties from New York had made business at the point pros porous Saturday and yesterday, and the safe contained both days receipts, It is almost positive that the burglars were experts. They are believed to have arrived at the Point in a small black sloop which 'longshoremen say has been in the vicinity of late, and this gives rise to rumors of the notorious black pirate sloop that preyed upon towns along the sound a year ago. The burglars wrapped the safe in four wet horse blankets, after boring it full of holes and then attached a long fuse The report of the explosion awakened Alahy oL tHe Hotel SueSlS, put IL was raining hard at the time, and all be- lieved the noise to be thunder. No one suspected the real nature of the noise although several attaches of the hotel were asleep in rooms on the same floor. Although the burglars made good haul,in heirapparent haste to get away they overlooked several rolls of bills and box of silver, and scattered much of their booty about the floor and out side in the grove. Manager TinlSen- stein at this time estimates his loss at $500, but says that thorough investi- gation may disclose the fact that the amount taken is nearly double that sum.

time as a parish house should be pro- vided. Then she wished the money de- voted to the home.
 Since the old lady died mischevous boys and roughs have created havoc about the place. They have devastated her garden, of which she was very fond Shrubs, bushes and plants have been treated ruthlessly and the crowd has trampled over the flower beds. In addition to this, the boys have desc crated the home of the old lady by pelt- ing stones through the windows and breaking out the glass.
 It is said that some of the rougher element in the town have threatened to set fire to the house some night.
 In order to have the property pro- tected it is now desired to have an executor appointed to care for it. The appointment was postponed, however, for a few days, as all of the witnesses to the will were not in court yester- day

Hartford, June 22.-Manager Barnie of Hartford went to New York yester- day to discuss with Sam Crane, presi- dent of the league and President Freed man of the Metropolitan team, over the proposed change, which is that the Will mington team be transferred to New Haven and the New Haven team be taken to Wilmington.
 There are several benefits to be de- rived from this change. The New Ha- ven players, or most of them are south ern men, having played in the Texas league last season, and 1t is thought that, perhaps, the climate in Delaware will aid them in winning gamss

The Financial Situation as it is Expressed

l
 in New York.
 New York, June 22.-Judging from the kind of argument that circulated on the stock exchange to-day, the market was simply hunting up excuses for its already existing weakness. Whether the administration will or will not address the Spanish government on the Cuban military deadlock, may be an open question. But it has not done so yet; it has not even had time to re- ceiye the report of our Cuban consul general
 And if the government were on point certainly not come first from third rate London newspaper. After our three months carnival with Jingo dem agogues at Washington, there may be some apology for starting at dfplo- matic shadows. But to-day's alleged ground for alarm was superlatively silly. The true secret of the market s heaviness was the lack of the invest ment stimulus which optinsts had ex- pected from last weeks developments at St. Louis.
 But outside of one or two newspa- pers, whose judgment apparently was wholly controlled by politics. all good authorities have pointed out, for some weeks past, why the action which has been taken was certain to fall flat. The basis for such prediction was not in any case a mater for partisan recrim-
 
 plain to every open-eyed observer. The market opened with sharp declines, broke again rather decidedly at mid

Babies are best weaned on lactated food
 Enclosed find photograph of our three little girls, taken in October, writes Mrs. H. S Kipgman of Somer- vile, Mass. Each one has been weaned on the lactated food and thrived excellently as the picture will , testify, being perfect likeness of each,
 With my first child the food which the doctor recommended did not suit her; and after taking all the foods within my knowledge, only to be re- fused by the child, I saw one of your advertisements to send a trial can. l tried the food as soon as received, and with such happy results that l have used 1t immediately for Weaning the succeeding ones and cheerfully recom- mend it to all I know.

come to her physician at last for ad- vice /: Baby is not getting along well, It's natural food does not suffice as it used to, l am afraid of bowel trouble. What shall I do %
 Mothers milk, when it is rich enough and plentiful enough, has no rival. But no intelligent mother will continue to nurse her little one when the breast milk has become thin and scanty and when baby is not sleeping well, not growing nor thriving on account of it's food.
 Until lactated food came to be relied on by physicians everywhere, infants deprived of their mothers milk were reared in g. hap-hazard and unscien- tific manner, with the usual result that the enormous mortality during the first five years of life was a reproach to medical men. Lactated food solved the problem completely to the joy Of parents as we'll as physicians.
 Lactated food stands to-day pre< eminent among all infant foods. Chill dren fed upon it suffer less and fewer die, it is now well known, than those fed upon anything else.

act all the proceeds from the sale of
land are to 90 to pay off the national
