BURNED TO DEATH
 IN HUT AT MASSAPEAG
John N. Strang Perished and Only His
 Charred Skeleton Found.

John Nelson Strang was burned to death Friday in a fisherman's hut on the bank of the Thames river at Mas sapeag. The first intimation that any thing was wrong at the little hut was conveyed to Joseph Smith, who re- sides at Massapeag, the hut where the tragedy occurred being only a few yards distant from his house and be- longing to him. between and 5 o'clock in the morning. when he saw the hut blazing. He knew that MT. Strang was probably in the building, but by the time he was aroused by the flames nothing could be done. As soon as possible the ruins were search ed and the charred body of Strang was found. Medical Examiner Dr. E. M. Fox of Uncasville was notified and gave permission for the remains to be inferred.
 Strang had been working for some time with Mr Smith fishing and had used the hut as his dwelling place. When MT Smith was able to remove the ruins of the burned building only g part of the skeleton of Strang re- mained the body being burned beyond recognition.
 Strang was well known both in New London and Montvflle For some time he took care of the Josephus Brown place in Massapeag. Strang has fol- lowed the water most of his life. In his earlier years, he was 67 years of age. he went aboard whaling vessels sailing from New London and later served as cook aboard several tug boats. He had also served in a similar capacity on several light vessels, among these Brenton's reef and Bart Ietts reef. He was well known to most of the old sailors, all having Q kindly word and a helping hand for the old mariner.
 Coroner Brown made an investiga- ton of the affair and found it to be the result Of an accident. Only the charred skeleton was found. MT. Strang was well known here, where he often came. and also among the old sailors. Captains Elisha and Lorenzo B. Chipman of Groton recall the cir cumstance that he sailed on several whaling vessels and Captain Lorenzo rem enbered him well as being steward on the whaling schooner Frances Allen with Captain Allen in command and Chfpman mate. He waE a good stew ard. too. said Captain Chipman. These old salts were also of the opinion that Strang was distantIY related to sew eraI well known families in and around Montville. Thomas Strang, now 8 resident Of Groton. is understood to be q full cousin.

MISSING MAN MAY BE
 LOCATED IN MONTREAL,
Woman Advised to Write There for Advice - May-Pepper Vanderbilt Gives Other Messages.

May Pepper Vanderbilt, who has fre- quently appeared here before at the Spiritual Academy, drew an attend ance that filled that place to the limit of it's seating capacity and many had to be turned away, when she spoke and gave spirit messages there on Sum day evening. Through the intervention of the fire chief, who had been notified by some unknown person to prevent seats being placed in the aises as had been formerly done at previous ap- pea rances of Mrs. Vanderbilt, the at tendance was limited to the exact seat ing capacity of the house and when this was taken mp the doors were shut resulting in many people being refus- ed admission
 After the usual opening exercises. in which Rev. A r. Blinn presided, Mrs Vanderbilt spoke impressiveiy oupn the general topic of mans search for q messag ge from the unknown. then pro- ceeding t0 her messages. which she gave under the handicap of bad cold II was in an aggravated condition Sun day night, q condition which she said might possibly proceed from some psychic influence of the evening.
 There was spice, sparkle and accu- racy in Mrs. Vanderbilts messages which contributed to She interest of her auditors, especially when she pro- nounced names and incidents recogniz- ed by the receivers and other of her auditors.
 Among the striking incidents was the spirit message from a Boston man who took this means of getting some advice to hts wife through an old Nor Wich friend. One inquirer who sent up a picture caused a lot of amusement by her evasive answers, but was final ly given advice about writing to Mon treal to find out about d man who had disappeared. There was one message from a spirit thoroughly incensed over some action that had left him with a reputation of not leaving enough to pay his honest debts, and there was another message in which the inquirer wa stold to enlist the services of the con ngressnan and senator at Washing ton.
 Mrs. Vanderbilt was often applaud ed, and concluded her communications after giving from i5 to 20 messages.

 MT. Wright said that it was unnec- essary for him to speak of the Rock Nook home or of the Sheltering Arms. as all are familiar with these places.
