MoURNED AS DEAD.
Torrinston Man, After Absence Of 3t Years, Comes Back to Home Rrd Mother

Charles Ashborn, after 3i years of absence in which he wss mourned an dead, has showed up in Torrington and surprised his old d-tine friends, fr- cludins his aged mother who, suppos- ing him to have long since passed on 10 that bourne from which no traveller returns," was naturally surprised and somewhat startled to see him.
 Ashborn's long siiefrce was due to the fact that he left his home at the age of 20 at odds with members Of the family, and his curiosity to know what they still thought of him was a strong motive for his return.
 During his absence he has been player. and in 1888 toured with the I-ATnerfcan team. In fa96 he went to Alaslna as gold miner, which iS his present occupation. He expects to return 10 his camp near Fairbanln when his Torrfngton visit is ended.

Process by Which Grass is Made Into
 Mafebas

For the matches made at Sho1apoor. India, the abundant grass of the region is used instead of wood. The grass is cut into two-inch lengths, win nowed and screened into uniform sizes, and is then boiled five minutes in paraffin and dried in rotating drum.
 Deposited in horizonta1 layers by shaking through a horizontal sitter, these stems are secured in a frame They are dipped in solution of chlo- rate of potash, sulphate of arsenic, bichloride of potash. powdered gypsum and gum arabic.
 An ingenious device forces the mat cheS forward so as to avoid sticking together. Six pounds of dipping mix ture and twenty one pounds of paraff1n suffice for 1000 boxes of eighty each.

JUSTICE TRENCfARD DECIDES
CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS.

TRENTON, June 16.--Justtce Trench-
ard in a Supreme Court opinion has
decided the certiorart proceedings by
which the New York Bay Railroad
Company sought to upset assessments
levied by Newark for the Rose avenue
pavement in Newark. Two properties
were involved In the suit. On q OF
the assessments II was admitted by
Newark that the action was invalid
because no benefits were conferred. Al
to the other tract Justice ,rrenchard
holds, contrary to the contention OF the
company, that 1t was no owned for
fairly anticipated railroad uses and
therefore assessable. His comment on
his question follows: IA city lot
owned by a railroad company, which II
vacant and not used for railroad pur-
poses, and not within the present or
proposed lines Of the cognpanyss right
Of way. nor necessary at present for
the enjoyment of its franchises, Is

patent rights. Tobin n his partners
were to receive $3.50 900 in common stock
for selling s15o.oOO of the preferred
stock.
These arrangements were carried out,
and then Tobin old Dunn that before
Dunn received his $4,000 Tobin was to
receive $4,000 over and above all other
considerations, this mony to go to
Tobin personally. Dunn claimed that
the extra 50, 900, which was paid to
Tobin, was obtained by misrepresenta-
tion. The court holds that Dunn can
not be relied pom to have believed the
Misrepresentation true when he en-
tered into the negotiations. 1t is also
held that Dunn's claim that the money
was gotten from him by duress Is I'M
tenable. Tobin will be remembered as
the contractor who figured prominent
ly in the State House investigation a
few years ago.

COL. DICKINSON'S OLD
PERJURY TRIAL GOES OVER.
Henry Steffens Is Accused by
Secretary of State.

So JERSEY CITY, m 16.-Colonel
Samuel D. Dickinson, secretary OF
state. was al the Court House yester-
day to testify In the trial Of Henry
,Steffens, former tax commissioner of
this city, who was scheduled for trial
ON a charge of perjury. Owing to the
illness of Assistant Prosecutor George
I vickers, the trial was postponed in
adefinfteiy. 9sr 2 az 81 fs
The, charge against Steffens Is the
outcome Of the observation-disclosures
son controversy over the reappointment
OF Colonel s.. d. Dickinson by Governor
Stokes to the office of secretary OF
state. It will be recalled a in OPP
posing the reappointment Mark M.
Pagan, who was the mayor OF this
city, made allegations against the char
acter of Dickinson. The latter began q
suit for 500, 900 damages against MT.
aFaean charging criminal libel, but
after a hearing. at which sensational
testimony was adduced. the suit was
abandoned.
say During this controversy It Is alleged
that Steffens made an affidavit stating
that in the summer of 1906 he had seen
Colonel Dickinson register in an At
slantic City hotel as Colonel Dickinson
and wife" Colonel Dickinson Is a
bachelor. The matter was called to the
attention Of the Hudson county grand
jury, before which h register Of the
hotel was produced. 1t showed that
the only entry involving Colonel Dick
inson's name was one in which It ap-
peared as IS. d. Dickinson" On the
basis Of this evidence the grand Jury
indicted Steffens on a charge Of per-
jury.
1t is understood that had the case
gone to trial Steffens was prepared to
go on the stand and declare that he
never swore to the aff1davit in question.

DIVERS HUNT IN
LAKE COMO FOR
CHARLT0KS BODY
Como Police, However, Believe
Slain WOman's Husband
Is on Ocean Liner.

COMO, italy, June 18-Professional
divers began today operations in Lake
Como, in the hope that II these waters
conceal the body of Porter Charlton It
will be recovered. The divers were n
gagged by the government, upon the In
sistence Of Charles NJ. Caushy. Amer
loan consul at Milan, who holds to the
theory that the person or persons who
murdered Mrs. Mary Scott Castle
Charlton and placed her body In q
trunk sunk IN the lake disposed in
similar fashion of her husband.
The police do not incline strongly to
the theory Of a double murder. and
after the bottom of the lake had been
dragged IN spots with grappling-hooks
they were prepared to abandon this
line Of Investigation. Mr.. Caughy,
however, urged that a further search
be made by divers. n the italian
authorities yielded to the wishes Of the
consul.
The arrival today of h divers from
Genoa caused much excitement among
the peasants OF the neighborhood, who
: appear to be absorbed In the mystery.
The interest in the case locally Is not
confined to these residents. by any
means, and summer visitors through
: out this section, including a number OF
Americans, ave been attracted to the
scene of the tragedy. They gathered
on the lake shore in force today. hoping
to witness a solution Of h mystery
Of Charlton's disappearance.
Il Is not certain that h divers will
fbe successful in settling the question.

feet below the surface of the water.
The divers. it appears. cannot operate
effectively at q depth of more than
~forty-five feet At the same time. to
have been sunken to a great depth the
body must ave been attached to a
tremendous weight.
The belief Is strong mon many. in

on board a steamer, bound for New
