A MURRAY MONUMENT
Movement to Perpetuate the Memory
 of a Once Famous Man.

or a onCe dTnOuS mdns
 A movement is on foot to pay tardy but deserved homage to the late w. H. H. Murray, preacher, writer, lecturer and farmer, who died in Guilford two years ago last March. The plan is to secure republication of his works, to erect a fitting monument over his grave in Guilford aEd to preserve his home stead for his widow and four daughters. Murray. who was once one of the best known men i'll New England, was grad uated from Yale forty-four years ago, entered the ministry and year after that made his first trip to the Adirondacks. Thirty-eight years ago he became the pastor of the Park Street Church ln Boston, and about the same time began his career as a writer Ever restless, he became the editor of religious weekly, and hardly had he made the publication successful, before he became interested ill manufacturing and ill the breeding of thoroughbred horses. At the height of his career, he left the ministry, finding no creed that would express his belief His business ventures proved failures. Within little less than twenty years ago he returned to Guilford to the hous, where he was born, and there he lived until his death which occurred in the room in which he was born.

WAS II A MURDER 2
BOYS BODY FOUND IN WOODS

He Had Been Missing From Home for
 Several Days-State Officers are at
 Work on the Case-Interesting Devel-
 opments Expected.
 Carefully covered with boughs of hem- lock, the body of John Streub, 12- years old boy of Housatonic, was found ill the woods near Great Harrington Sun day and although decomposition had set in to such an extent as to conceal the exact cause of death, the circumstances, in the opinion of the medical examiner, point strongly to foul play. Streub had been missing from his home since last Monday, when he started out with another boy named Benjamin White to go to Torrington, Conn.,, where they ex- pected to secure work i'll factory.
 Upon reaching Great Harrington, the boys separated. and White kept on to Torrington while Streub announced his intention of returning to Housatonic. Streub is said to have been seen in Great Harrington a short time after he left his companion, but his later movements have not been traced.
 Dr. J. D. Beebe of Great Burlington, the medical examiner. said the superficial examination which he made showed nothing conclusive about the manner of the boys death. Streub is a son of Emil Streub, machinist, employed ill a shop in Housatonic.
 (LATERl
 i State officers are at work on the case ] Whites father sent for him and he re turned from Torrington immediately His straightforward story convinced the officers that he left home alone and that he had nothing to do with Streub's death A Housatonic man named Hatch says he saw Streub on the Tuesday previous and it is supposed it was some time that day that he was killed.
 Streub's father admits that he fire quently punished the boy. From certain hints in the Springfield Republicans re port of the matter in yesterdays paper the inference might be drawn that tn, boy $ father knows more about the matter than he has yet told. 5@-.- ... ..
 The Housatonic selectmen, it is said will offer $500 reward unless there ar, some immediate developments in tn, case

LakevIle LadY's Life Work is to Min
 ister to Afflicted Humanity.
 The instances where people perform service in the interest of humanity with out hope of financial reward are not as numerous as they might be and when one is observed, it is worthy of especial note. There is such an instance in the village of Lakeville where a skilled trained nurse ill the person of Miss Henrietta Van Cleft goes from house to house to house, devoting her time and talents to the alleviation of suffering and distress. When the part les are able to compensate her, she accepts the remuneration but where they are not able to pay, they receive the same care and kindly ministrations. Miss Van Cleft is looked upon as a veritable Angel of Mercy by the people of Lakeville where she is universally loved. She came to that village four months ago, has n residence there and expects to make it her permanent home. Miss Van Cleft's example Is one that might well be followed by people of ample means who desire to assist their fellow beings.

New Issue of Stock to be Offered to
 Stockholders at Par.

Stockholders at Par.
 The Hartford Courant says:
 Notice has been given of a special meeting of the stockholders of the Hartford and Connecticut Western Railroad Company for the purpose ot issuing additional stock. The road is leased to the Central New England Railway which in turn is controlled by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Road"
 The leasing road pays to the old Hartford and Connecticut Western ? per cent upon its capital stock which makes the shares sell at little below 50, at which price they yield per cent on the investment It is not easy to see how, under the circumstances, the new issue can be put out ut par. The call for the meeting, however, says it IS to be offered to tae present stockholders at par i'll proportion to their respective holdings and that which is not thus taken is to be sold at not less than par
 No one who could tell just what purpose the new stock is to be issued for. The authorized capital stock of the road is 8, ,0o0, 900, of which $2,712,. 800 has issued. This leaves the com. pany with the right to issue $2S7, 200 and the proposed new issue is of 2,50( shares, or S25o,0o0
