0AKYILLE HAPPENINGS

Miss Katie Kelly, a well known and well liked young lady, who has here tofore passed all her life, so to speak, at Oakville, left this place yesterday morning to join the religious Order of St Joseph at Parkville, near Hartford. It would be useless to try to write here all the sorrow it caused the young lady and her aged parents to part, for every one knows the true f1liaI and parental love they had reciprocally. On the eve of her departure Miss Kelly received her numerous friends, who filled the house, and entertained them until late hour. She was accompanied by Mrs J. Garrity of Waterbury as far as Wa terville, and from there to Parkville by Father Traynor It is said Miss Kelly showed a disposition for such state of life at a very early age, and she had been thinking strongly of it for the last few years. All those who knew her will feel they have lost the companionship of a true friend. Mrs Kelly is left at home without any of her daughters. However, she is some what solaced with the thought that her other daughter, Miss Mary, who will have served her time to become a trained nrse in about three months hence, will come to live with her.
 They have made quite an improve ment on the main road In front and below the Oakville pin factory by put ting a layer of gravel there.
 MT and Mrs Evans, with their son, went to Bristol this morning to attend the wedding of Dr Randolph Royster of Philadelphia and Miss Josie Hart of the former mentioned place. The mar riage ceremonies took place at 1:30 D. m.
 Lionel Dains, who smashed his fin ger very badly under a power press some time ago, has resumed his work.
 Miss Mary Mulville, who left Mrs Murtha's when the 1atter's son first took sick with scarlet fever, about three weeks ago, is now returned. During her absence Miss Mulville stayed in Danbury.
 Leon Balcom, who had been working nearly three years at the factory of s. Smith & Son, left that place and is now employed at the local pin factory.

Father WaIser Dischar@ed,

- LORAIN, O., May 6.-Father Ferdi- hand Walser, arrested last Saturday in connection with the murder of Agatha Reichlin, was brought to this city from the county jail at Elyria and dis charged from the charge of murder which was placed against him at that time. Mayor King went through the formality of reading the warrant for Walser's arrest, and his attorney, E. G. Johnson, entered plea of not guilty.
 Mayor King then stated that, as the prosecuting attorney had remarked, there was not sufficient evidence to hold the accused, and T have nothing to do but discharge him from custody. The crime that was committed on the list day of May was the most atrocious. crime ever committed in the city of To- rain. When Father Walser was arrest ed Saturday public feeling against him ran high in the community, and on &C., count of the excited condition of the public the prosecutor and myself thought arrest of the priest necessary for his protection, that he might be safe from any attack that the excited populace might make upon him. Who killed Agatha Reichlin no one knows but the murderer himself and his God No one is more pleased than am that there is no evidence to warrant the de- tention of the accused. 1 hope whoever committed the crime may yet be pun ished. The city officers will not feel their duty done, but will continue the inquiry until the murderer of Agatha Reichlin may be properly avenged"
 Father Walser arose and, with mois- tened eyes, addressed Mayor King as follows:
 You cannot say word against me. You have hurt me a great deal. Agatha Reichlin is the last person would have killed. I can't kill anybody. I couldn't kill chicken. I thank the off cials for their courtesies extended me. Especially would thank Sheriff Sails bury, as he alone treated me as noble gentleman could have done"

 WASHINGTON, May 6.-Believing the naval prestige of the United States is at stake, Rear Admiral Melville, chief engineer oS the navy, is making a determined fight to equip with triple screws the new 13,OOO ton battle ships authorized by congress. Twin screws are now used on practically all war ships in the United States navy, but France, Germany and Russia, it is con- tended are gaining great strategical advantage over the United States by their adoption of the triple screw, which, it is claimed, enables the war ships thus fitted to perform evolut1ons impossible for the twin screw craft.

Father Walser Freed From Reichlin Murder Charges.
NO CLEW TO THE GIRLS SLAYER.
Inquest Also Fails to Reveal Motive. Jury Finds Deed Was Commit ted With a Stone In the Hands
 of a Person Unknovn,
of a Person Unkn

ELYRIA, O., May 6.-At the end of a rather complete investigation into the cause of the death of Agatha Reichlin, who was murdered last Thursday night, Coroner French of this county late last evening gave as his conclusion the verdict, "That Agatha Reichlin came to her death from wounds infict- ed by stone in the hands of a person unknown"
 The investigation was held in the presence of large and deeply interest ed crowd of witnesses and spectators. The conclusion reached by the coroner resulted in the freeing of Father Wal ser from confinement later in the even- ing. "~
 The witnesses included policemen who had been called to the Reichlin home at 80 o'clock Friday morning and Casimir Reichlin, brother of the murdered girl. Rev. Charles Reichlin, another brother, testified. The consen- sus of the testimony of the witnesses was favorable to Father, Walser's claim of innocence and in support of the theory that a burglar or some other desperate man had committed the crime. Captain Ketchuu of the police testified that the bloodhounds did not pay any more attention to Father Wal ser's bed than to the other beds in the house. .+

IS MATOS IN A TRAP7
Government Troops Marching to Surround the RevOIut1Onist Leader.

Government Troops Marching to Surround the Revo1utiOnist Leader.
 CARACAS, Venezuela, May 6.-It is believed here in some circles that Gen eral Mates, the leader of the revolu- ton, has fallen into trap. His object In landing again on Venezuelan soil was to re-establish harmony among the chiefs of the revolution, who are fighting among themselves. General Mates has reached Barquisimeto, where revolutionary army of 2,00O men is concentrated under Generals PenaloZa and Jacinto Lara.
 The government was at first inclined to disbelieve the news that General Matos had returned to Venezuela, but after this was confirmed it concen- trated its forces, which are now encir- cling the rebels. Vice President Go meg is marching on Barquisimeto via Tucacas and Duaca with 2,OO0 men, General Linares is approaching the rebels via San Felipe and Yaritagua with 1,40O men, General Gonzales Pa checo is approaching via Guidor with 1900 men, and 900 Andino troops are coming via Carache. Within eight days Barquisimeto, which is strongly fn- trenched, will be attacked simultane- ously by all the government forces.
 It is believed that the approaching battle will be sanguinary and probably the last of the Mates revolution if the revolutionists are defeated. The opin- ion is held by certain high government officers that if General Matos is cap tured his life will be in danger. It is reported that Bernard Blanco, a son of Guzman Blanco, is with, General Mates.
