 Another rumor, probably founded on what Cavanaugh has told the po- lice, is to the effect that he accused the woman of playing him for what money she could get from him, and that last night he charged her with taking $80 from him during the Springfield trip.
 On this point of money the police was asked to-day if 1t was so that Cavanaugh's wife lodged complaint about month ago and that he had taken $100 from the house and made no satisfactory report about what he had done with it. The answer of the police was that this was the business of the prosecuting attorney and they did not wish to interfere with him.
 MT French was summoned from his home about g o'clock last night. At first he did not believe that his wife was the victim of shooting af- fray and he laughed at the idea, re- marking that 1t was impossible. But glance at the form on the hospital bed convinced him of the awful truth of the report and he passed the en- tire night and morning at her bed. side.
 The revolver with which the shoot ing was done was found by Mrs Will. liam Erwin near the scene of the shooting, and she handed it over to Edward Christian, who gave it to the police.
 The condition of Mrs French was somewhat better this afternoon. At the Waterbury hospital she was said to be more than holding her own at press hour.

inches by a continuation of the floral
design, will be a great addition. If
pictures are to be hung in the bed

case decorative frieze will add to
the beauty. These come In variety
OF designs and figures.
The floor, of course, should be of
hardwood, and if this is not possible,

are most appropriate if carefully Sc

are most attractive if of white enamel.
IN such room shirt waist and hat
boxes covered with cretonne and set
