AT WORK
Story of Laudsnum Denied by
 Man and His Wife.

Charles Tellerday of 3S4 South Main street is said to have drunk g half ounce of laudanum at his home last evening, but his wife stoutly de- nies the story. A reporter of the Democrat called to-day at the house where the Tellerdays live and the story was branded as falsenood. Mrs Tellerday said her husband was as we'll as ever last evening and went to work as usual this morning at Scovill's factory.
 "I don't know how such a story could have gotten into the papers, she said. My husband was with us here as usual last evening and was not even sick. I did not know a thing about the story in the paper until our groceryman came in this morning and informed us of il"
 The owner of the house also was emphatic in declaring that MT Tel erday had taken nothing with which to end his life. He said the story must have been written by someone who had a grudge against the man.
 According to the story in the morning paper Tellerday, his name is Charles, not Alfred, last evening about o'clock entered the bath room at his home, drank half ounce of laudanum and then inform ed the household what he had done.

MORE CHILDREN LOST
One Missing From South Street
 and Apoiher From Vine.

According to the reports coming into the police station many children are straying away from their moth- CTS apron strings and putting their parents as we'll as the police to a lot of bother. This morning word came to the station that little girl about years of age had wandered into Bouffard's bake shop on North Main street. The girl did not know her name or where she lived. Later Patrolman McElligott picked up a little girl who said her name was Teresa Kelly of South street. She was brought to the police station where she is now awaiting the ar- rival of her mother.
 This afternoon the police were in- formed that child named Teresa Morrissey of Vine street was lost. The description of this child answers that of the one at Bouffard's bakery so it is thought they are one and the same.
 In view of the number of children that are straying away from their home. parents should take warning and keep more watchful eye on their offspring. Some mothers al- low their youngsters to run helter skelter in such a manner that 1t is strange that more of them are not seriously injured not to mention be- ing lost.

Ministers of Zion African Church Are
 In Trouble.

In Trouble.
 Hartford, Aug 21.-Rev Isaac A. Grandy of Plainville, through his counsel, Charles F. Conlon of this city. brought suit yesterday against ev Dennis F. White of Windsor. a fellow minister of the Zion African Methodist church, for si,000 dam ages. The suit had its inception in a recent church conference in Boston at which Bishop Riddle presided. The bishop reprimanded Rev Mr White for objecting to sitting in the confer ence with Rev Mir Grandy. Rev Mir White withdrew and came back at the bishop and Rev Mir Grandy with an explanation. published in the Bos- ton organ of the colored people, The Guardian. This is the foundation for the suit. One part of the article reads. ''I was given my choice of re- tiring or sitting in the conference with a man who has been seen intox- icated on the public streets on nu- merous occasions the past seven years. If Zion prefers an expelled minister the scrapings of Bethel, who has been dormant in Plainville for several years. 1t is welcome to him." The case is returnable to the court of common pleas the first Tuesday in September. The Guardian may also be sued for libel. as it published that "It Is an undeniable fact that Rev Grandy has been seen intoxicated during the past year. as can be prov en at any time. and has lowered him self in the estimation Of the com munity." Rev White had a letter in The Guardian stating that Bishop Riddle once took the poor debtors 6 oath" in New Haven and cJnfesses fear if there is not a change for the better in Zion it will be necessary to send eolored children to white Sun day schools.
