Suicide of Timothy Goggins.

Timothy Goggins. 27, son of Michael Goggins, of Falls Village, committed suicide at about o'clock Thursday morning in Hodge Bros. saloon in Waterbury. by taking laudanum. It appears that after little conversation and after taking drink with an &C., quaintance, George Candy, Goggins left the room and was heard vomiting in the adjoining apartment On returning te showed Candy bottle containing few drops of laudanum and told him he had drunk the rest. Candy treated the statement as joke. Presently Cog gins lay down on the pool table and went to sleep. At 10 30 a. m. he was still sleeping and a doctor was called, who found his face and hands black and his body purple. The doctor found it impossible to restore him and he died about 3 o'clock without regaining con- sciousness. On the previous Wednes- day evening Goggins had told friend that he did not care to live and should take laudanum, but it was not thought that he would commit suicide.
 Goggins had been in Waterbury some weeks in search of employment. He had several bank books and was well dressed. He made the acquaintance of several friends, who say that he was a very j0vial and good hearted fellow.

A. A. Lawrence's Accident.

Inasmuch as several incorrect versions of the painful accident which befel Mir Lawrence have been published by the state press, MT Lawrence has requested his physician, Dr Kendall, of Norfolk, to give the press an authorized state ment as follows:
 On Feb. 27th as Anson A. Lawrence was working his fodder cutter his hand was drawn against the knives by the catching of an old mitten he had on the hand. The hand was frightfully cut, the thumb and fourth finger lacer- ated and detached and the second fn- ger was completely torn off The re- maining fingers and the ball of the thumb were left with power of motion in them. It seemed best to preserve the hand with the understanding that it would later be removed if such cours @ seemed expedient. Although the wounded member remained healthy and would in due time heal, after a number of days it was considered that Mir Lawrence would have more satis- factory use of an artificial hand than of this mutilated one. Accordingly the hand and wrist were amputated. The numerous friends and acquaintances of MT Lawrence will be pleased to know that he has borne his affiiction with | true manly fortitude and that he is at present resting easily with very little discomfort in the arm.

ELIZABETH ME ABBE.
Born October 16. 1894.
 Died March 12, 1897.

This little child, born amid these mountains and streams we all love so we'll, as did her three generations of an- cestors, comes to mingle her dust with ours. The death of -an infant is not of rare occurrence, with that we are too familiar. But we may bs pardoned for expressions of personal grief as we re- call the rare characteristics that were unfolding in her life, hoping her inheri- tance would some day be with us and believing that the world, that surround ed her with it's duties and pleasures. would be better for her presence. This i' all over, but as the manly, noble fig- ure of her physician bent tenderly over the little wasted form, he sad, "It has been great fight. but she has won the victory" In measured tone and with emotion he added. II could wish noth- ing more beautiful for little child than for her to be in Heaven"

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.

A brutal assault was committed near Clayton last week. The facts of the matter are as follows: About four o'clock in the afternoon last week Tues day Frank Sherman, 2S, aud Frank Mo- Lean, 15, of the town of Salisbury. who had been hunting musk-rats along the Housatonic and Konkapot rivers on that day and the previous day, arrived at the tenant house of Frank Goodwin near Clay ton, the home of Edward Williams, colored man of about 50 years of age. Sherman proposed to his young com panion that they go in and call on Will. Hams. To this young Mclean demurr- ed and in the course of the discussion Sherman said that if he (Sherman) went in "there would be trouble" Finally both went in, but before doing so Me Lean, who went in after short interval. secreted Sherman's axe and his own donble-barrelled shot gun. They spent about an hour in the house, playing cards and drinking cider. At length Williams proposed to wrestle with Me- Lean, dispute arose and shortly after Sherman struck Williams blow on the head with his fist, knocking him over three chairs and laying him prostrate on the floor. Mclean then ran out of the house and removed the axe and gun still further away. On coming back and listening near the house he heard the sound of blows being struck on some yielding object. On entering he found Williams lying on the floor insen- sible and Sherman engaged in collect ing Williams clothing, rubber boots and food, which articles be afterward carried away with him. Williams was left in a very serious condition. He had evidently been kicked in the head and stamped on. His jaw is broken in three places and he is otherwise badly bruised.
 Constable Drake arrested Sherman and Mclean and they were brought be- fore Justice Roberts Saturday morning charged with assault, and as- sault with intent to rob.
