CANNOT REST in PEACE
BODY of THE YELLOW MILD POND
VICTIM TO BE DISINTERRED.
Miss GiIl's Remains Buried Yester-
Two Young Men Arrested.

SOUTHINGTON, Conn.,, Sept 2S.-Some
strange nemesis seems to pursue the re-
mains of the unfortunate young woman
who was the victim of the Yellow Mill pond
tragedy, and who has been identified as
Emma Gill. of this village. 1nis morning
the remains were exhumed from the pot
ter's field in Bridgeport and brought here
for burial. Funeral services were held this
afternoon and the remains were scarcely
again returned to the grave when DR.. Ros-
enbuth received telegram from Coroner
Doton, of Bridgeport, asking him to make
an examination of the teeth. The body had
been buried, but a permit was issued and
the remains will be disinterred tomorrow
and the examination made. DR.. Rosen-
bluth is the dentist who did all the work on
Miss GilPs teeth.
Harry Oxley and Howard Guernsey, two
young men of prominent families, have
been arrested for supposed connection with
the case and taken to Bridgeport tonight.
Oxley is the son Of the leading stationer of
the town, while Guernsey is the son of
Sherman Guernsey, who represented South
ington in the last Legislature, is chairman
of the First Congregational Society and a
member Of the School Board. Guernsey,
jr, has a wife and child. The arrests We're
n ade by Sheriff Eagan, at the request of
Detectives Arnold, of Bridgeport. and
Smith, of Hartford. 1t was stated that
Detective Ar1old expressed himself as hav-
ing no doubt that he had one of the accom-
plices, but which one of the men it was Is
a matter of conjecture. No one about the
village seems to have any knowledge of
Guernsey being in the company of Miss
Gill, while it is well known that Oxley was
acquainted with the young woman and has
been in receipt of frequent letters from her.
What evidence the detectives have cannot
be learned.
The finding of the fragments of an Adams
express money order among some rubbish
in the rear yard of the house in Bridgeport
occupied by Mrs Nancy Guilford, Tuesday,
was the evidence that led up to the arrest
Of the men. 1t was ascertained that the or
der had been sent from Plattsville. Under
orders from States Attorney F'essenden and
Coroner Doten the company showed its rec
ords and it was learned that Oxley and
Guernsey had sent money order of $50 to
DR. Nancy" Guilford at Bridgeport.
During the examination of Guernsey and
Oxley, it has been learned that Guernsey
told the officers something that settled all
doubts as to who was implicated in the
case 1t is also stated positively that Oxley
made partial confession. No suspicion of
guilt concerning the death of Emma Gill
is attached to Guernsey, but it has been
learned that Oxley borrowed the money he
sent to Mrs. Guilford for him and made
him his cOnfidant.

A WARRIORS ANGUISH.
What the War Has Cost the Only Po-
litical Colonel.
New York Sum

An interview with Col William Jennings
Bryan, of the Third Nebraska, is pub
Hshed in the Star of Kansas City. The corr
respondent OF the Star asserts positively
that Colonel Bryan is about to throw up his
part, or, in other words, resign his COM
mission in the United States army, in order
congenial impersonation of the statesman
actively engaged in politics. 1t should be
understood that this statement of the
coionels intentions does not rest upon any
thing which he has said for publication.
he sun heroically maintains the reticence
or the true soldier
but OF his reserve and reticence Colonel
Bryan spoke freely to the reporter:
III you knew what it costs me to keep still
w w there is so much 10 say about things
of Importance to the people, and of lifelong
interest and moment to me-. you would APP
preciate the strength of my Will"
we do not think the country has vet fully
appreciated this side of Colonel Bryan's pa
triotic devotion and self-sacrifice. There is
something pathetic in the manner in which
ne calls attention to the subject. The set
smile which he wears as part of his military
uniform, and which has been observed in
all the photographs of the colonel taken
since he entered upon warriors career, is
not the mere smirk of self-satisfaction for
which some people have mistaken ii. 1t is
the facial expression of the long-sustained
muscular effort to keep his mouth shut con-
corning the myriad things of Importance
and interest going on constantly all around
the silent soldier, and continually tempting
him to talk. What agony is behind that
smile, only those who know Colonel Bryan's
powers of utterance in time OF peace can
even family imagine. Is not this heroism?
1t is true that at times the colonel's stern
ly depressed nlaxillaries have not the better
of his soldierly resolution. He has made
some speeches. but not over dozen or two.
The grandeur of his military record must
be measured not by these insignificant ex-
ceptions, but by the number of speeches
which he might have made but has not
made since he was mustered into service.
Think what the effort has cost him! Think
what will happen when the period of heroic
self-restraint is at an endl The corre-
spondent Of the Kansas City Star asked him
if he expected to talk freely on public ques-
tons when released from soldiers obliga-
tons. The colonel replied with enthusiasm:
You know how it is when dam breaks.
There is no telling when the flood stops
How soon the dam will break and the
agony of silence will cease depends upon
the date chosen by Colonel Bryan for the
submission of his resignation from the army.
This event is believed TO be imminent; let
it come. if come it must We shall only
stipulate that the act of resignation, the
unbuckling of the beloved sword the re-
nunciation of the cuirass and the reassump-
ton of the toga shall be performed in the
presence of a Microscopic camera in order
that the wargraph record of Colonel Bryan
military career may be complete.

Surgeon General Sternberg said that the
present camps of the soldiers were healthy
and he expected rapid decrease in sick
ness In speaking of the causes of so much
sickness earlier he said: THE whole trouble
grew out of the sudden outbreak of the
war, necessitating the raising of an inn
mense army of men without time to train
them and TO select proper places and ia
cilities for their care. The men were unused
to army restrictions and they violated san-
tary regulations with impunity. The water
supply at some of the camps has, undoubt-
eddy, been polluted by improper drainage
and sanitary system, and much sickness
was caused by it,

will probably be necessary to shell out

this will involve a larger use of field

provided for the use OF barbed wire bv
