CONNECTICUT's CRIMINAL.
The Wilton Horror the Latest in a Long
List of Grimes.

South Norwalk, Conn, December 49,
The Wilton horror of last evening when
David Lambert, we'll to do resident OF
the village. was deliberately shot down
by robbers whom he had surprised plum
dering his house, after having previously
gagged and bound Mrs. Lambert, is the
one topic of conversation today, which
has awakened feeling of uncertainty
of safety and suggests almost invariably
the query "What next?
The deed was the foulest ever known
in Fairfield county and possibly the state,
and though robbery was tho primary ob
ject the number Of shots fired favored of
SIC deviIish desire to commit murder and
destroy human life which is character
istie of the robberies committed here of
late.
At noon today the wounded man
was alive and semi-conScious. Medical
Examiner Gorham is in constant atten-
dance, in order to take the ante-morten
statement, should Lambert be able to
make one before he passes away.

LAMBERT sIILL ALIVE,

South Norwalk, Conn, December 49,
At late hour tonight, it was stated that
Dav 5. Lambert of Wilton, vino was the
victim of flemish burglars Friday eve
ming, as still alive though in q conatose
state. The tenacity with which he olings
to life is, however, remarkab bic as it was
the opinion OF the physicians who were
summoned as soon rs the work Of the
miscreans was learned that the man
could not live more than a few hours on
account of the nature of the wounds.
Thus far there have been no developments
towards the apprehension Of the assail-
ants.

AMERICAN MISSIONS.
Presentation of the Cause at the Bethel
Church Yesterday.

Mrs. Ida S. Woodbury., presented the
cause of the American Missionary associa-
ton to the Seamen's Bethel church yes
terday afternoon. She said that the work
Of the association was to educate and
Christianize the slaves who were set free
by the war and their children and also to
do like service for the $500, 600 noun
tain whites who have suffered and been
degraded by long contact with slavery
and the abuse of slave masters Sixty per
cent of the colored people Of the South
and 40 per cent of these mountain whites
have practically had no school privileges.
The laws in many of the southern states
do not encoura ge education. 1t remains
for the yankee schoolmarm" to do what
is left undone. The American Missionary
association also wages war against
Wh1skey and tobacco, the two curses
which aff1ict these people.
Mrs. Woodbury. is an exceedingly easy,
entertaining and attractive speaker
Rarely is any cause presented SO clear
~. Her numerous anecdotes were full,of
pathos and her appeal or help was
irresistible. She gave an encOurag ng
account Of the work of the association and
the strong desire of the people to be taught
the rudiments of knowledge and to re-
ceive spiritual advice. She also dwelt up
OF the loyalty of these white people to the
Union cause during the war. Our readers
will be glad to known that Miss Anna e.
Harrington of the Bethel church who was
for many years a missionary under the
A. M. A., and who has been at home on
sick furlough the past year or two is soon
to return South, largely by the help of
this little church which she still calls
her home.

CAPT. CROKER AT DYEA.
He Writes of Bis Journey to the Klon-
dixie.

The Portland relatives of Capt ]. B.
Croker, who is on his way to the Klon.
dixie, received letter from him Saturday
The letter was dated Dyea, Alaska,
September IL. The letter was postmarked
Seattle, evidently having been sent down
on steamer by some friend. Capt.
Croker left franklin, Mass, { about
August /, and at Seattle fitted out with
clothing and provisions. He took pro-
visions enough to last two men 10 months
and clothing suited to the Arctic winter.
His "pardner' is an old western miner.
Capt. Croker says there is snow at Dyea
but when he got there it was raining hard
and there was much of what is called
"slush" in Maine. He is going into the
Klondike by way Of Chilkoot pass. and
his letter said he intended to try to do 1t
this fall. In case he is unable to get
through. the pass he will return to Dyea,
erect log hut and live in it until spring,
when he will be sure to get along
He says there is no lack of company at
Dyea, there being hundreds there. There
is wrong idea prevailing as to the
class of people going to the gold fields.
They are nearly all of fine class of
people, honest and earnest.
Capt. Crocker says that it will be per-
fectly easy to winter at Dyea. 1t will be
cold but he has clothing fuel and pro-
visions sufficient to last him 10 months.
