FOUND INTERESTING INSECTS.
In Assortment of Wood from Hartford
 City Hall.


 Hartford, Nov. 26.-An interesting discovery was made this morning by Henry Pendleton of 50 Hudson street in an assortment of spruce wood which was removed from the attic of the city hall last August. The discov- cry consisted of family of Xylocopa virginica, a hymenopterous insect, the popular name for which is the carptenter bee. This family, which numbers some seven or eight mem bers, had remained at home in the wood these four months, notwith- standing the violent handling the tim bers must have undergone since they were first attacked by human carpen- ters, thrown from the roof of the building to the ground, three stories below, and then carted away to the home of MT Pentleton Apparently they were fat and prosperous in spite of their unkindly treatment, and off, fered no resistance when they were bottled up and brought into the city hall for inspection.

DREAM REVEALS MURDER.
San Francisco Woman Sees in Vision Friend Dead.

San Francisco, Nov 26.-The police of Oakland yesterday unearthed a most diabolical crime and have taken into custody M, A. Wilkins, a station ary engineer and will charge him with the murder of his wife, whose body was found burned in quickIime underneath shed in the yard of he Wilkins home in Ehnhurst, a suburb of Oakland.
 It was known that Mrs. Wilkins had given birth to child and Wilkins stated that she had gone to the home of her parents in the east.
 A friend of the dead woman, Mrs J. M. Anderson of San Francisco, had been staying at the Wilkins home dur ing the past few days, and now asserts that Wilkins had endeavored to in- duce her to leave her husband and go away with him. Her suspicious be- came aroused and, on Monday night, in a dream she saw the body of her former friend lying on the ground l with the arms crossed over the breast. She returned to San Francisco and in- formed her husband, and the two told the story to the Oakland police.
 The result was the finding of the body in trench under an old carpet in the shed, lying as described by Mrs Anderson. Wilkins at first said his | wife had committed suicide. Later he asserted that she died during child birth, and that he had buried the body i to save expenses. At last he refused | to talk further.
 Mrs. Anderson says that she was awakened from her singular dream by Wilkins, who was standing over hel with knife in his hand When she asked what he meant he replied that she had been talking wildly in hel sleep. He put away the knife and asked her to take a drink of water She slipped some of the water, but die not swallow it, suspeeting that it had been poisoned. This proved to be the fact
 i Wilkins is fifty years old. He came here with his wife from York, Pa,
