LEANDER F. TUTTLH.

Leander Peet Futile, town clerk of North Haven, died at his residence Tuesday afternoon, aged 57 years. He was the youngest son of Willis and Abbey Bassett Futile, prominent peo- pie of North Haven, who purchased the Congree eational church parsonage on the retirement of the Rev. Leverett Griggs from the pastorate of that society.
 MT. Futile enjoyed the confidence of his townsmen to the fullest extent. In 1879 he was made republican registrar of voters. an office to which he was annually chosen until 1895, when he was elected town clerk, succeeding the late Edward L. Linsley. In this capacity he served continuously until his death It is safe to say that no former incum- bent of this trust ever gave better sat- isfaction to his constituents and others than did MT. Futile. Perhaps as neat a compliment as could be paid for the discharge of public duties was that ren- dered him in 1901 and again in 1903, when the democratic party also placed him in nomination as town clerk at the head of their ticket.
 MT Tuttle's ability called him to va rious duties, all of which were well exc cuted. He was a member of Corinthian lodge, F. and A. M., of long standing and a past paster. He also belonged to Grange '35, P. of H., and served as worthy master in 1891. He enjoyed the honor of being the first newspaper cor respondent in the community

 BOY AND WHITE GIRL.

Were Living in Wooster street-Deter-
 mined to Get Married-Left Home
 Monday and Came Here-Eaeh of the
 Runaways is Fifteen Years old.
 Austin Taylor. the fifteen year old muIatto boy. and Irene Yonugs, the fif- teen year old white girl who disappear ed from Bridgeport on Monday were captured in this city last evening while they were walking at the lower part Of Chapel street by Detective Ward and McGratll. They were taken to police headquarters and questioned by. Cap tain Cowles. The couple say they are determined to get married and that if necessary they will wait until they be- come of age to do so. The girl was taken to the Organized Charities and cared for, while the boy was locked up at headquarters. The couple engaged rooms in Wooster street and had just started out for walk when arrested.
 It was learned at the Fairfield rail- road station yesterday that boy and a girl answering the descriptions of the runaway pair bought tickets there on Monday afternoon for New Haven.
 The ticket agent at the station stat ed that the mulatto boy did not know the price of the tickets and laid all of his money, s in bills, on the counter, and allowed the agent to take out the price of the tickets. The police in Bridgeport were informed of the boy and girl being seen in Fairfield and Superintendent Birmingham sent De- tective Cronan to New Haven in search of the couple.
 Mrs. William Youngs, mother of the girl, is said to be distracted over the action of her daughter. It was she who first brought the notice of the po- lice to the case. Mrs. Charles Taylor. mother of the boy. has also asked the police to locate her son.
 It was believed that the couple had gone away to go on the vaudeville stage. The girl recently appeared in an amateur performance and sang a song and danced. The boy is said to be a buck and wing dancer. The girl met the colored lad while she was having her teeth treated at the office of the late Dr. c. c. Eighme. Taylor was the of flee boy for the dentist. They were seen talking together on the stairs a great deal and short time ago a po- office at one o'clock in the morning.
