POSITIVE PALMER is DEAD.
What Palmist and Astrologer Told
Mrs. Palmer-Effect on the Visitor

What a. Palmist and Astrologer Told
Mrs. Palmer-Effect on the Visitor.
South Norwalk April 19.-Madame
| DeGarleen, a PIANIST and astrologer,
| who has taken up temporary resi-
dence in South Norwalk has told Mrs
George w. Palmer all the details of
her married life, the fact of her hus-
bands sickness and mental affection,
his disappearance, and concluded by
saying that Palmer was dead The
palmist claims she gained these facts
entirely from the lines OF Mrs. Palmer's
| hand and from her husbands horoscope
at the time of his disappearance. The
recital of the reading was so Vividly
truthful that Mrs Palmer fell on Mad
am DeGarleen's shoulder and wept.
The story of George w. Palmer's
| disappearance is yet fresh in the mem
DRY of Norwalkers. A little over two
months ago he was last seen by John
j. Goodwin, on North Main street,
while out on a walk. He has never
been heard from since, and what be-
came of him, whether he left town or
made way with himself while tempo
rary insane, is not known. AT the time
there was great excitement, securing
parties were sent out, the river was
dragged and inquiries made, all through
the state
hat was found a month since on
the banks of the Saugatuck river, and
OIL hof
floating down the stream. 1t was
thought at the time that it might have
been the missing man.
Shortly after the disappearance a
Bridgeport clairvoyant, while in a
trance, said she could see Palmer and
at that time he was not dead. She
said also that, if he should kill himself, |
subsequently, it would be by water.
Mr.. Palmer was fond of the water and |
friends thought that if he had made |
way with himself it was by these
means.
The lines of Mrs. Palmer's hands,
when read by the palmist, said that she |
and her husband had always led quiet |
home life, and that their relation had |
been one of mutual love and tender
ness. A several months sickness had |
caused his mind to wander and while |
in this state he had left home. The |
line of widowhood was so developed |
that the madam was sure that Mr.. |
Palmer was not alive at this time |
His horoscope at the time of his leav-
ing told to certainty of his condition |
and his sure death, the palmist says.
The madam does not claim to be a |
medium or spiritualist, nor can she tell |
where the body of Mr.. Palmer is nor
how he met his death

BUY JOHN BROWNS HOME.

Association Will Take Charge of the
Place Shortly--Damage by Collec-
tors.
winsted, April 1s,441Treasurer D. G.
Kilbourn of Litchfeld, Of the John
Brown association, was in Winsted
yesterday and left in the afternoon for
Norfolk in the interests of the associa-
ton, which is endeavoring to raise
funds to preserve the old John Brown
homestead in Torrington.I Mr.. Kilbourn
says the matter is progressing favora-
bly, and that the association hopes to
be able to purchase the property of the
present owner, Mr.. Cook, before the
centennial celebration, May 8. But a
large amount of money will yet be need
ed, as the mere purchase of the old
house is a small part of what Is requir-
ed, as the house must be improved and
the grounds beautified. The house is
getting in a dilapidated condition, part
ly due to the class of tenants it has had
for several years past and partly to the
ravages of curo collectors
The celebration Of, the centennial on
May will be under the auspices of t.
John Brown club and the Y. M c. A,
of Torrington. The afternoon pro-
gramme will take place at the old home
stead and will be in charge of the Y NJ
c. A., taking the form of picnic with
