came to his house about midnight and knocked at the door. That he let her in
 and she stai all night, and went away the xt day. Saw nothing out of the
 way with her. Noticed the mark oyer
 her eye. Cross.examination elicited the fact that Miss Hubbell was trying to find ! the home of Mrs Lyon but got lost and
 came to MT Falls place. He ttf-red to
 go with her to Mrs Lyon's, but she seem-
 ed to prefer to stay there all night Said
 she had run away from Mrs Behn's as an
 excuse for being there at that hour in the
 night.
 Dr Edwards M. Smith was called to
 the stand and testified to attending Miss
 Hubbell at MT Johnson's. Made su- perficial examination of the wounds and
 thought them more than an embrasure of
 the skin, although they were nearly heal ed when he saw them. Cross-examined, the character of the wounds was dwelt upon, and the fact brought out that she still complained of pain from the wound over the right eye. That he was not called to attend the wounds but for her general condition. Did not know who the charges for his visits would be made to, whether to MT Johnson or the county commissioners. Could not tell when he made the examination what caused the wounds. Might have been stick or the result of fall, or other causes.
 Mrs Eva L. Lyon was the last switness called for the day. Her testimony was that Miss kHubbell came to her house Tuesday evening. November IF, about o'clock, after the lights were lit That she seemed nervous and when she went to retire called her into the room and showed her the marks on her arm and on her neck and shoulders, where she said Mrs Behn whipped her for getting a black kettle against her apron, when she was washing dishes. Showed her piece of wood in the wood box similar to the one she said Mrs Behn used. She wore pretty worsted dress when she came to her house and staid with her 8 week, when they took her over to MT Johnson's at Miss Hubbelrs request. The cross ex- animation occupied some time. Mrs Ly on testified to having three children, Ed ward, aged 21, Susie, aged 20,and Frank, aged five years. They knew Miss Hub bell. Knew Mrs Behn was looking for Miss Hubbell when she was at her house. Miss Hubbell told her Mrs Behn had whipped her on Monday morning. Re lated her experience in trying to find her place the night before and how she had hid in MT Falls sitting room all of Tues day for fear Mrs Behn would find her. Said she came to my house because she thought I would be kind to her, and take her to MT Johnson's, which I told her I would do as soon as I was able. Saw her st MT Johnson's- after she was taken sick. This closed the taking of the testi- mony for the day, as the court and at- torneys wished to get away on the after noon train. The case was adjourned to Saturday, April 3, at II o'clock in the morning, when it is hoped the balance of the testimony can be heard and the jus tice be able to render his decision.

In New Haven County.
SOUTHBURY,

Death again entered our community and removed one of our most beloved and respected member, Dea Sherman Futile, aged 84 years, passed on to the rest that remaineth, on Thursday last. He has been in failing health for some weeks, but it was hoped that he might be spared for future usefulness but we were obliged to say "Servant of God well done, rest from thy loved employ, the battle fought. the victory won, enter into thy Masters ioy." Dea Futile was of sturdy New England ancestry, being decended from Nathan iel Futile, who settled in Woodbury about 1880. His great"grandfather, Hezekiah Futile, lived near his present dwelling. His grand father, Capt Nathaniel, served during the Revolutionary war, afterwards mar ried and built house on the ground now occupied by his present residence. His father was Nathaniel Futile, his mother was Betsey Fabrique, daughter of Bartimeus Fabrique, who was of French Protestant descent.
 Coming of such ancestry his character for strict integrity was strongly marked, more careful for the rights of others than of his own. No one could say that they were wronged out of cent by him, but as Job says, the blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, the amount that he gave in unostentations charity will never be known as no one that was sick or in trouble but was visited and some substantial assistance rendered Ever ready to minister to the sick, in his younger days he was frequently called on to watch with them, which he die cheerfully. Although not an aspirant for office he held the office of grand juror with other puplic offices for a number o1 years; was clerk of the school district and church society. In his early life ht was clerk in store and refused to sel intox eating liquors, although it wal necessary, these temperance principles he maintained through life. Afterward he learned the trade of carpenter. work ed with Lewis Hotchkiss in Derby ant other places.
 He was converted in 1881, in the grea revival, and joined the church in 1882 In 1861 he was chosen deacon, which of flee he held during life. When tn present church was built in 1844 he acte, as chairman of the building committee He subscribed liberally. and as he was
 young man with comparatively smal means he paid his subscription by days works. He always took deep interes in the church and for many years acte as sexton. He always gave iiberally t the support of every good cause. Late he came into possession of propert
 which enabled him to gratify his benes olent dispositions Among his lates gifts was a tower clock. During hl church membership he has not bee

THE CONFESSION OF A FIEND.
Says He Caused the Cncaba Bridge
Disaster.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.--A special to the
Times Democrat from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Sam Palatka, cross eyed, fiend in express
sion, revolving in countenance, has confessed to
having perpetrated the horrible Cahaba bridge
disaster, which occurred three weeks ago in
Alabama. Stolidly and with immovab1e lines
of criminal harshness on his face, he admits
that single-handed, he sent So persons to hor-
rible death and wounded and manned score
more.
There romantic reason back of the
work of this coura geous coward, a man who
dared discovery, which in Alabama meant GER
tain death, to drive train to destruction in or
der to obtain few dollars.
Paatka arrested in Eatonton, Putnam
county, in middle Georgia. His first captors
believed him half-witted as he gave himself
away. Those in charge of him today in At
lanta as he was on his way to Alabama say
he is absolutely reckless and entirely with
out human feelings. Today he spoke of the
fearful wreck with no sign of emotion.
II did it, said Paatka. II wanted money.
1t is nobody's business what / wanted it for.
I did it. / found it very easy. l say this for
the benefit of those who want to wreck trains.
It's just as easy to wreck passenger train
in freights. l did not get anything out of the
wreck. l moved a rail, put it across the track
and the whole business seemed to fall. There
plenty of dead folks with money-one
man had $500-but before | could get at it the
live ones got up, and then the crowds came

THE SENATE AND THE TREATY
correspondence Between Our Gov
crnmcnt and Great Britain.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The president today
furnished the senate in response to resoI-
ticn adopted in executive session, with the cor
reSpondence between our government and Great
Britain, resulting In the arbitration treaty.
Nearly all of this correspondence has been pre-
viously Published in the newspapers, having
been officially given out either in to
books. 1t appears, however, that the ultimate
coming together of the two governments was
brought about by personal interviews between
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote.
NO record exists at the state department of
this phase of the negotiations, but it may be
that some of the future British blue books
Will indicate it's character by making public
Sir Julian's cablegrams to Lord Salisbury
Some of the facts that appear in the corres-
pondence that submitted today that
the late Secretary Gresham in the spring of
1885, initiated the correspondence with Great
Britain looking to general arbitration treaty,
but for some reason it's consideration drop
ped for a time. 1t revived rather uneX-
pectedly year later and this time by Lord
Salisbury, who having been approached by
Mr. Bayard with a request for settlement of
the Venezuelan boundary dispute, accepted his
suggestion but accompanied his acceptance
with instruction to Sir Julian Pauncefote to
reopen negotiations in Washington for gen.
eral arbitration treaty. Indeed the British
premier went far in his first note this
subject March last to submit a rough
draft of the heads of the treaty which formed
the basis of the document now before the SEN
ate. On April fS, Secretary Olney in behalf of
the president, welcomed ''these proposals of
appreciation of their value" and from that
point on the negotiations thus started proceed
ed with evident disposition on both sides
to come together.
