Bridgeport. Conn.,, Sept. 23.-Every

Yellow Mil pond mystery and today
proved no exception. Tonight, four
persons, two men and two women,
who have not heretofore figured pub

Harry Oxley and Howard Guernsey,
who were arrested in Southington, were
brought here, tonight, and was closet
ed in Chief Birmingham office more
than three hours, after which they
were locked up. Soon afterwards.
Rose Drayton, colored, laundress for
Mrs. DR.. Guiaford and her 1S-year-old
daughter, Clara, who had been en-
ployed as a domestic by DR.. Guilford,
were locked up. There Is no doubt IN
the mind of Chief Birmingham but
that strong evidence has been pro-
cured to connect Oxley With the case
though he will not say what it u.s.
Guernsey, it is sur1nised. is being held
only as a witness and for his knowl-
edge of Oxaey's affairs.
1t has been ascertained that Oxley
has paid Mrs. Guilford money at va
rious times to the amount of $3.50.
Chief Birmingham has stated that
he does not believe that Foster is guilty
Of any connection with the affair.
He was acquainted with the girl and
kept her company. but further than
that he was not involved.
During the examination of Guernsey
and Oxley, 1T has been learned that
Guernsey told the officers something
that settled all doubts as to who were
implicated in the case. 1t is also stat
ed positively that Oxley made partial
confession. No suspicion of guilt con-
corning the death of Emma Gill is at
tached to Guernsey, but it has been
learned that Oxley borrowed the
money he semitic Mrs. Guilford from hl,n
and made him his confidential agent
and by his silence in the matter when
the crime was discovered. has become
involved.

MRS. lEo.oRA \. LAKES ADDRESS.
Before the Maine Womaa's Christian Tom
pcrance Union At Bangor.

The delegates who attended the w. C.
T.. u. meetings In Bangor speak with
much approval of the address delivered
on the last evening OF the convention by
Mrs. Leonora M. Lake of st. Louis, vice
president of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Society of North America.
Mrs. Lake Is woman OF fine presence
and most eloquent speaker. She said
the 1900 miles travelled to reach Bangor
would not seem to be a journey in vain
If one word she could say would cause
her hearers to remember they were all,
whether Protestant or Catholic, children
of one God. and should rally under one
flag in the effort to put down the liquor
traffic.
Those of her own faith were united so,
900 strong, in advancing the grand cause
Of total abstinence. She believes that
liquor Is the cause of nfne-tenthS of all
the evil in the land. and that only will Its
ravages be stopped when people without
respect to party unite in measures for its
Punishment.
The results of such union of effort are
demonstrated in the city of Cambridge,
Mass: where are $1,000 inhabitants ana
no saloons or kitchen bar-rooms.
Never at any previous convention were
more touching appeals made for the
training and care of our children and
youth than were made at this time. Wo-
mould the hearts of men. To use her
own words. IF women would set them
selves upon the hillsides. men would
soon come UP out of the valleys"
At the close of the address a beautiful
bouquet was presented to Mrs. Lake, the
gift of ST. Mary's Temperance Society of
Bangor. This address. which was heard
fitting close to most profitable con-
yentiOn.

From private sources we have gath

Potatoes in this State Will be plenty

and mostly of the better quality. Spain

over 100000 barrels will be shipped
Ontario, east of Toronto is not SO
heavy as last year. burt west of there
many times more. AS the quality OF
the apple, as a rule. is not very firm,
the chances are that there will be a
good many gallons put up. hut the
price will not be low. 1t is too early
to determine the prices Of evaporated
apple, as these TO keep must be put up
from winter fruit.
The bean situation is a peculiar one
There is still quite stock held East

are low. Prices are proportionately
lower East than West. Most OF the
crop will be very late as 1t had to be
