POLICE KNOW WHO

Continued from First Page.)


 the throat as she was engaged ir washing dishes. A dish pan, a num- Der of dishes in the water, stood upon a stand and a number Of washed plates
 were on the table beside the pan. - Despite the fact that she was an octogenarian Mrs. Dibble was a re- markedly we'll preserved woman and the doctors were of the opinion that she would weigh in the neighborhood of 16O pounds. She had retained the faculties of sight and hearing, and her mind was clear at all times. Except for the fact that she used a cane in going out to feed her chickens she was as vigorous as many women 30 years
 her junior.
 Her murderer must have been a powerful man to have carried her body
 down the winding stairway into the cellar. If the murderer had any idea of robbing the house before he left,
 he never carried it out There was sum of money in a bureau drawer
 Dibble just off from the kitchen, but the drawer had not been opened.
 There is no apparent motive for the crime, other than lust. The police are inclined to believe that the murder was the work of a crazy man. The lack of any evidence of a struggle
 makes it appear that the murderer opened the screen door of the kitchen by stealth and seized the old woman from behind as she was washing dishes. If the murderer was someone unfs miliar with the premises he took the chance of there not being anyone else in the house to hear the noise occasioned by the fall of the body, or l to intercept him as he carried the body Iinto the cellar.
 The house was built nearly 25 years ago by Ezra Dibble husband of the murdered woman. It stands upon high embankment on the left hand side of the road and there are several houses in sight of it to the north, i'm cluding the buildings of the fashion able Star Farm.
 Ezra Dibble was a sash and blind
 maker in this city for many years and he died at the country place in Trun-
 bull seventeen years ago. There are
 four children who survive their moth CT, Mrs. R. EL Whittlsey, a daughter
 residing at 38 Courtland street, this
 city; Ernest Dibble of this city, who
 has been the booAkeeper with the Nau-
 gatuck Valley Ice Go. for the past Is
 years; Frank pibble of Trumbull, and
 George s. Dibble who. resided with her.
 Frank and George have been employ ed at the factory of the Singer Sewing Mac hine Co. for several years and
 drive into town every morning togeth- CT. It happened that during the past week George Dibble has not been | working in the factory and instead he
 has been doing work on the little farms which he owns adjoining the place owned by his mother.

STEAMER GROUNDED
 ON A SANDBAR

Especial from United PresS.)
 Ashtabula, O., June 12.-A disastrous panic was narrowly averted when the steel passenger steamer Arondale grounded on a sandbar in Lake Erie, ten miles east of Ashtabula late last night. The bravery and presence of mind Of Captain Jones Irresponsible for the prevention of a long list of casualties, according to the stories of excursionists who reached Ashtabula today.
 The wheelman lost his bearings in a dense fog and when the big excursion boat crashed onto the sandbar there followed a. general rush for the boats, men, women and children, tortured by the thoughts of a shipwreck. After much difficulty the passengers were lined up on the several decks and each was strapped into a life preserver. Then two ya1vls were lowered and the passengers were carried ashore by the crew and large bonfires built for a midnight camp. About a hundred passengers decided to remain on the ship all night. Tugs were sent to pun the vessel off the bar where she is lying easily.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
Let the Cat Out of the De-.

 A certain English innkeeper's family conducted weeklyeraff1e. In this rafne the prizes were turkeys, ducks, young pigs, baskets of eggs and such like rural commodities. A quantity of steel disRs, numbered from 1 to 20, were put into black bag, and the lit tie daughter of the innkeeper put her hand in the bag and drew a disk for each speculator in turn. The person whose number was the highest got the prize.
 Well, it had been noticed that the innkeeper's wife got the prize pretty frequently, but nothing was thought of this by the simple, honest rural folk. One evening, though, the little girl with her hand in the bag. passed. 1t was her mothers turn, and she did not draw forth her mothers disks in her usual quick and careless way. She rummaged about: The other rafi1ers looked at one another oddly. The inn keeper said:
 '-Come, come, child, hurry up."
 "But, father" said the little girl, sT can't find the hot one"

 It is made of wool and mo- hair (true mohair) and has a springy strength that makes it always stay in place. It can be crushed without creasing; it shows no marks of ill usage; it will wear and wear.
 In finish it has a peculiar and a charming luster; the wool and the mohair com bine to give it radiance.

Especial from United Press.)
 New York June 12IAlthough a few majority of the list made material ad7 vances and the general tone of the market was decidely strong. The in- dustrial group continued in increased prominence. A number of them made sharp advances in the first ten min- utes At the end of the first fifteen minutes prices were generally main tained.
 il a. m.lTrading in the first hour and a, half was decidedly mixed. Prof it taking sales in large volumes in some stocks were offset to an extent by buying through banking houses of leading standard issues causing early strength in various groups, while at material declines. Reading became weak, falling over point from its highest and. about the same declines were sustained in Union Pacific after showing early strength The heav- jest selling for London accounts was in Southern Pacific. Amalgamated Copper moved nearly the same way, losing nearly a point during the fore noon and a fractional reaction occur red in a number of the other more ac- tive railroad stocks. Steel common was bought on a fairly large scale and was one of the few stocks that show ed a net gain ata 11:30 o'clock.
 Government bonds unchanged, other bonds strong.
 Closing.-During the closing hour a stronger tone developed with aggres- sive buying in Steel forcing an advance of about one per cent. This was taken as an incentive for some hurried buying back of stocks in the final dealings with renewed aggressive buy ing in Standard Railroads. The clos ing tone was generally strong and fairly active.
 Government bonds unchanged, other bonds strong.
