FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL
Putnam Weaver Stabbed a Man and Then
 Killed Himself.

Putnam, Dec S.-By hanging himself by his belt from the bars of his cell, Edwin Murphy, weaver, committed suicide to-day in the police station. He had been arrested two hours before for stabbing Benjamin Covell, paint CT, who roomed in the same house with him. Covell will probably recover.
 According to Covells statement, the stabbing was entirely unproyoked and there had been no quarrel between the two men. He said he was awakened from sleep at about 1 o'clock this morning by the entrance of Murphy into his room. Murphy had an open pocket-knife in his hand and immedi- ately sprang at Covell and stabbed him several times in the breast before he could get out of bed. Then Murphy rushed into his own room and stabbed himself six times in the region of the heart.
 When assistance arrived Covell was removed to the Day Kimball hospital. and Murphy whose wounds were found to be slight. was attended by a physician and then placed under ar rest and taken to the police station and placed on a cot in cell. For an hour after that he was not under guard, the sergeant on duty at night being absent on his regular round of the town. When the sergeant returned he found the body of Murphy hanging from bar of the cell door. He had removed his leather waist belt and fastening it about an upper bar and about his neck had stepped off his cot and strangled to death.
 Murphy was about 45 years of age. He had lived here only about six months and little is known about him except that he has sister, Mrs Ellen Sullivan, living in Monson. Mass. The cause of his attack on Covell is a mys- tery except on the theory that he be- came suddenly demented. There is said to have been no indication that the man had been drinking.
 Covell is a man of middle age and has always lived here, bearing a good reputation.

BROWN ALUMNI HAVE DINNER.
Play in Colleges Becoming Business, Says
President Faunce

The annual dinner Of the Brown Alumni Associa-
ton Of New-York City held last night at the
University club. There were $50 guests and mem
hers present. Colonel Norman :. Dixie. president
Of the association, occupied the chair. The other
speakers besides Colonel Dixie. were President
Faunce OF the university, Commissioner Heating
of the Department of Licenses ". H. McEroy,
Evert Jansen Wendell and Colonel IL Anthony
Dyer. Said Colonel Dixie:
I am gratifed to know Brown has adopted the
honor system regarding her athletics.
No COLLEGE should adopt rules rejected by other
colleges for that would place the college So doing
in a class by itself
Dr. Faunce said, in part:
AS to athletics. am inclined to the view that
pIav in college is becoming business rather than
a recreation from study. There is a tendency TO
professionalism in colleges which prOvOkeS rivalry,
and a spirit of commercalism at once enters into
the test.
President Faunce spoke of the good results Of
the building of fraternity houses for colleges. but
said he would like have the lower classes
remain in dormitories. rather than go TO the fra
ternity houses
president Faunce said he noticed demand for
technical education. 20 the abuse of wide eduCa-
ton. He said proper preparation in many cases
omitted.

grotto ard tho Hermes by Praxiteles found
among bricks, if it had been concealed in
wall which finally fell in ruins, this statue
discovered bricked up in a understanding to some
in Asia Minor and TO others in Greece or Sicily.
The statue is believed to he Greek. of the period
following Phidias; in fact, a Venus GeuitriX by
PraXfteleS, and the after whom 1T
modelled the celebrated Phryne.
SignOr Ettori Pain, for thirty-fve years curator
of the Naples Museum, visited the National Arts
Club yesterday. and spent more than four hours
examining the statue. After examining the sworn
statements of many famous sculptors who have
pronounced the statue to be genuine PraXiteles,
he gave it his opinion that the marble was in
diSputably genuine ancient Greek marble. and that
the work Undeniably that of E'raXteleS. In
his opinion, the statue, which has been labelled
Aphrodite, is one of Phryne, mentioned in sundry
ancient chronicles.
Mr. Lincoln, the of the statue said last
night that he wished the Venus Phryne to be
placed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He said
that l. Pierpont Morgan had some time ago asked
that the statue be placed on exhibition there, but
that General di Cesnola had objected. as that
would have given the statue great a value as TO
make it impossible for the Museum 10 buy it. The
statue has been in storage for twelve years in
