IN FEBRUARY,

iN EoRO hhl.
When February comes apace,
The troops of spring not long may tarry,
And every lover seeks the face
Fore ordained for him TO marry.
Roster buds bedeck the sprays,
By the stIeams the cattle loiter,
And there two robins-bold estrays-
Come, old scenes to reconnoiter.
Quickening flowers beneath the leaves,
Even where the snowdrifts glisten,
Mind not how the north wind grieves,
But for the steps of springtime listen.
Who can such sweet hints forgo
Ofglowing signs that never vary?
In the heart of Maud know.
Beats the pulse of February.
He Is dull who can not trace
In her voice tone moro tender,
On her cheek lovelier grace,
Around her form an aureoled splendor.
And since she knows my heart is hers,
Hovering iife's afiairs-msy vary,
Every bud and bird that stirs
Pr0claims our troth for February.
Joel Benton, in Demor..rs Magasinc fos

DEATH OF COLONEL GRANGER.

Colonel Salmon Algernon Granger committed suicide Thursday morning at his home in Winsted, by shooting him. self in the right temple with revolver. At 40 o'clock the servant girl rapped on Col. Granger's bed room door and asked if he was awake. He answered yes. Five minutes later Mrs Granger. who was downstairs, heard a noise up- stairs and on going thither found Col. Granger lying on the floor in the hall near his bedroom, clad only in his night shirt, bleeding from bullet wound in his right temple. The colonel on rising had gone to chiffonier, before which he was found lying and to which he was in the habit of going nearly every day to get collar or necktie, and opened the upper drawer which contained, be- sides the articles he was in the ha5lt of getting, a 30 cal. revolver. Acting on a sudden impulse, undoubtedly in mo- ment of insanity, he seized the weapon and sent bullet through his temple. Drs Welch and Bidwell were at once summoned and probed for the ball but without success. At about o'clock 8. m. Colonel Granger died.
 There seems to be no explanation for Col. Granger's act other than that he vas temporarily insane from over-work and ill health. He had recently return ed from busin, ss trip to Pennsylvania and had complained of his health since his return.
 Col Granger was the son of Gideon and Esther Granger and was born in New Marlboro, Mass, Aug. 12, 1889 He attended school in the Huxley dis. trict in that town, Gov. Lorrin A. Cooke being one of his teachers. Until 1t years of age he worked on farms when he went to Winsted and learned the carpenters trade. He enlisted in the 18th Reg't. c. Vols. after the 2d Conn. Heavy Artillery. He served for three years and three months, taking active part in 19 battles and escaped uniniur ed. He rose to the rank of 2d lieuten ant After the war he was in the em ploy of the New England Pin Go. fol twenty years, when he accepted posi- tion with the Morgan Silver Plate Co of which he was elected secretary an6 treasurer. In 1893 he was an aide-de camp on the staff of Gov. Morris. Ht was member of the M E. Church anG also of l4 fraternal societies including the Mssons. He was highly respected in the community.

CORONER'S VERDICT.
MEAD MURDERED MRS. CHAPIN.

Was in Love with the Woman and
 Shot Her and then Committed Sui-
 eide. Chapin ExoneIated.
 Coroner Higgins, of Winsted, eub- mitted his report of the Mead-Chapin tragedy at Falls Village to the clerk of the superior court on Tuesday.
 The coroner finds that Mrs Hattie Chapin was shot and killed by Charles Francis Mead and that Mead then con- mitted suicide, both fatalities occurring on the 2Oth day of February in Falls Village, town of Canaan. He finds that no other party was connected with the shooting. He finds that Walter R.. Chapin, husband of the murdered woman, was in Sheffield, Mass, on the evening before, during the night, and on the morning of the shooting. This is borne out by the statement of Chspin, circumstantial evidence and affi lavits of Annie B. Anthony, Frank Croslear and John Holain of Sheffield.
 In the coroner's findings it appears that: From remarks made by Mead, from his conduct, and from writing or poem foupd h his pocket 1t would seem that he was very much infatuated with Mrs ChapiD, and "could not live with out ber." Mead was perceptibly mel ancholy for couple of we eks before his death, and remarked to his mother, brother and others that he would soon be dead and laid in the cemetery said to his mother in regard to Mrs Chapin "If we can't live together We can die together" Also that Mead had conversation with 8 party in West Springfield. Mass in December. '96, in which he stated that he was in love with woman in Connecticut, that he couldn't live without her, that he was gong to kill her aud kill himself and that he had the revolver to do it with. The Springfield party did not know who was referred to, at the time, but notified an officer of the conversation.

1T WAS A DRAW GAME.

A smart swindler, whose principal field
of operations is among the cotton facto'
ries. played slick game on Messrs. Gris'
Cousins, of Yorkville, on Monday; but
from subsequent developments, it ap'
pears that they at least managed to bring
about a draw.
During Monday afternoon, the fellow,
who was decently clothed and man ol
very good address, presented himself to
Mr.. D. w. Hicks, represented that he had
work at the cotton mill, but no money
and had been recommended by Superin-
tendent Grimes to call down and make
arrangements for credit. His story, in
most particulars, seemed plausible
enough, and Mr.. Hicks sold him goods
to the amount of S2.45, and charged them
as instructed, to James Wooten.
About two hours after this, there was
ring at the 'phone, and Mr.. w. H. Bar
ron, the engineer at the cotton mill, gave
information to the effect that the alleged
Wooten was a well-known swindler
whom he had seen before under the alias
of Griffith" and also that the fello"
had sold the goods, just purchased, for 81
and taken the train for Blacksburg.
Upon this information, Messrs. Gris
Cousins applied to Chief of Police Love
who Immediately wired Chief Duncan, OF
Blacksburg, description of the fellow
and asked for his arrest. Yesterday morn
ing Chief Duncan telegraphed that the
man had been arrested according to i'll
structions but that during the night ne
had burned the guardhouse and made his
escape.
Wooten, or Griffith, has quite reputa-
ton among the mill operatives all through
the Piedmont section as an accomplished
blackleg and swindler, and those on the
lookout for him may assure themselves
of his identity by means of scissors, clip
pers and razor tattooed on one OF his
wrists.
