AFTER BIGGER GAME Postal Authorities Want to Detect
 Man Higher Up.

Willimantic, July 2.-The raid on the office of the Novelty Speciality company at South Windham and the consequent arrest of Miss Grace Mar tin of this city, is evoking much sym pathy for Miss Martin. Until recent ly she has resided with her parents, MT and Mrs Frank S. Martin in this city, but about one month ago her parents purchased farm in the south ern part of Coventry and removed there, and since that time she has boarded with Mir and Mrs Samuel Chesbro. The business was establish cd three or four years ago by w. S. Abbe. who came from New York and started the business in the rooms over Blackus Brothers store in South Windham. Mir Abbe came from an old Windham family and not long af- ter he came to South Windham he married into one of the best families in the place The business he was engaged in has. however. been always looked upon with suspicion. for the reason that the most inquisitive ones were not able to learn Just what it was. For two or three years he em- ployed several young women. and Miss Martin was the stenographer and typewriter for the office. but for the past year or two Abbe has been In South Windham but little. and the business there has been In charge of Miss Martin.
 It is believed that the South Wind ham office has really been nothing but branch office and that the great part of the business has been done in Newark. x. J. It is understood that one of the purposes of detaining Miss Martin was that she might he available as witness in case other arrests are made.

A large part of the injured mans clothing was torn from his body and the floor under the shaft ing from which he hung resembled a slaughter house before he could be cut down.

BATTLE FOR CHILDREN
The Light Family Affairs to Be Heard
 T0.MorroW.

The battle for the custody of the two Light children. Ada and Orson. 5 and years old respectively, was re- sumed in the district court this morn- ing before Judge Peasley. and was, continued to tomorrow afternoon at ? o'clock. The matter came up to-day on writ of habeas corpus to have Mrs Light, in whose custody the chil- dren are. produce them in court to- day. She did not do so. She was rep resented by Attorney J. R. Lawlor and the petitioner was represented by At torney Kelley It was at the request Of Mir Lawlor the case was adjourned. He claimed that it was physical i'm possibility to produce the children in the time allowed from the time the pcnars were served upon Mrs Light yesterday afternoon. 80 o'clock. Mir Kelley contended the papers hGE been served before that time and he would believe Constable Carmody. who served them, before anybody else. He never knew Constable Carmody to lie.
 Mir Lawlor took offense at this re- mark. He said the children have been in New London since Tuesday, the last time Light tried to kldnap them.
 Mir Kelley insisted that the children should be in court and Mrs Lights fail. ure to produce them there was a cOn-f tempt of the courts order Every thing said and done by the other side was dishonest.
 Mir Lawlor replied that Mir Kelley should not judge others by his own standard of virtue. It was not be. cause he. Mir Kelley, was dishonest, that everyone else was so. Judge Peasley cut of further argument by adjourning the case to the hour named. Both Mfr and Mrs Light were in court.

State Comptroller Mitchell will set men at work in few days removing steam pipes and clearing the way in the basement of the capitol for the seven fireproof vaults which are to be built for the preservation of state docu- .ments which are now stored on the fourth floor of the building The legis- lature appropriated S25,OOO for the vaults at its last session. The location of the vaults has practically been de cided on. The committee which inves- tigated the matter for the legislature at first favored that part of the base ment under the west corridor. but it has been finally decided that the best place is under the center of the build ing.

Good Men All, but IL Looks Like Repub-
lican Success Thj Year.

Both village caucuses were held in the
council room Monday evening, the dem
ocrats meeting at o'clock, the republi-
cans at $50.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
M o. Rowland was chairman of the
republican caucus, r. n Wakeman, sec
retary. There was a large attendance,
90 votes being cast. A very strong
ticket was nominated and. with the nice
republican majority existing in this viii
lage, it should be elected. Especially
we want to endorse the nominee for
president, NJ. L.. Decker, who is one of
the most public spirited and capable of
Paw Paws young men.
There is not the slightest reason why
any republican should fail to support
his entire party ticket this year. Fol
lowing are the nominees:
President Milton l.. Decker
Clerk-Glenn e. Warner
Treasurer-John b. Showerman
Trustees full term
John Engle
Albert w. Showerman
-Rollin A. Shoesmith

The Christian church by unanimous
vote has extended a call to Rev. G. NJ.
Keene for another year commencing
May |. Mr.. Keene has been with the
church 10 months, and through his labor
it has felt a spiritual uplift unknown for
some years.
The supper at the X of p. hall Tues
day evening was attended by large
number of the knights and their ladies',
about 100 being served. After the sup
per, dancing was INDUCED in. The oc
casion was one of the most enjoyable of
all those given this season.
Judge L. B. Des Volgnes was in Paw
Paw, Monday, to meet some of our
people. J. O. Becraft of Dowagiac ac-
companied him. Judge Des Voignes
made very favorable impression on all
who met him, and the better the people
know him the better they are sure to
like him.
The following Chicago people were

VIM. III. Easton, an old resident of
Paw Paw, died at his home Sunday
evening, aged 50 years and 20 days, after
long illness. Funeral services were
held at the house Thursday morning at
10 o'clock, Rev. A. w. Mumford Off
ciating. Interment was at West Oshte-
mo. Deceased leaves a wife, several
other relatives and many old friends to
mourn.
The electric railroad meeting at the
council room Tuesday evening was we'll
attended. Mr.. Grant of Kalamazoo, rep
resenting the company, was present. He
explained that the money was in sight
to float the bonds of the road, and that
the surveyors are already working out
from South Haven towards Paw Paw.
He said the company, while not specify
ing any amount of assistance, would like
help in securing the right of way, and al
so as substantial donations or stock sab :.
scriptions as could be secured along the
line. He said the line would doubtless
be in operation as far as Paw Paw this
summer. Our business men did not ex-
press their ideas freely, but asked Mr..
Grant quite good many questions. The
feeling seemed to be that Paw Paw
would furnish the right of way through
the township and grant a liberal fran
chise in the village, but not much en-
thusasm was demonstrated for dona-
tions or stock subscriptions. However,
it was voted that Chairman T. j. Cava
naugh should appoint committee ol
five to see what can be DONE He said
he would announce the committee
through the press. Tie meeting ad
iourned subject to call OF the chairman

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
L. j. Cavanaugh was chairman, b. p.
Bryar, secretary, This caucus was also
well attended, AZ votes being cast. The
democrats had a little "hard luck" in
their nominations. E. f. Parks was
nominated for president and it was an
excellent nomination. However, he had
not been consulted He was attending
the Inauguration at Washington and on
being notified by telegraph he promptly
and emphatlcaIly refused 20 run. After
much skirmishing around, the demo-
Gratis persuaded II. L. Mcneil to fill the
vacancy. For the short term trustee,
G. ID. Richmond was nominated. He
was not present and had not been con-
suited. The next morning he informed
the democratic committee that he was a
republican and would not run on the
democratic ticket. w. T. S. Strow-
bridge was put on to fill this vacancy.
The ticket as it was finally fixed up
is a follows:
