 A case of somewhat more than usua 1 interest is causing the officials of thu
 town a good deal of speculation as te l the outcome. A young man named
 Kelly, who has recently been in the
 employ of MT. George o. Lines, has l been arrested upon a complaint from 1 the authorities of Massachusetts an6 placed in the lookup. awaiting extra. l dition papers from the Governor o1
 Connecticut. It appears that he had | been employed as coachman for the l German consul, who lives not far from Boston, and that he wore the | uniform of the consups establishment
 Giving up his job he left the place
 where he had worked, but forgot tc 1 take off the uniform It is asserted that he thought it belonged to him. self. At all events the consul took a different view of the matter, and the locality of the missing coachman hav- ing been ascertained, he was arrested b ySherif Stagg on Sunday and locked up. An effort was being made yester- day by friends of the young n1an,to ir1- | duce Hon. Stiles Judson to telegraph
 to the Governor and ask him not to grant the requisition papers. Exactly what would happen to MT. Kelly if he should fall into the clutches of the Ger
 man consul, nobody can guess. He cer-
 tainly could not be sent to Germany for punishment, and it is doubtful if the consul would insist upon his being electrocuted. It looks as if the consul should be satisfied if the precious uni- form is returned.
