Leak from Hot Water Boiler Floods
NJ. B. C.. Store.

Damage estimated at $1,000 was done
on Sunday morning at the National
Biscuit company store, No. 81 Frank
lin street, by water from leaky hot
water tank in the tenement over the
store. The leak was discovered about
5 O'Clock Sunday morning, having
started about / o'clock, it is believed,
and by the time Manager Stepberg of
the biscuit company was notified and
was able to reach the store, there was
an/fnch of water over the floor of the
north half of the store. The water
was also running down into the eel
lar, where a large quantity of broken
crackers were wet down. In the store
the water dripped through from the
ceiling in a number of different spots,
so that a large number of boxes of
crackers, both tin and wooden boxes,
were wet, and their contents either
wholly or partly spoiled.
Manager Stenberg and his assistants
spent the greater part of the morn
ing sweeping the water out and sep
arating the damaged crackers from
those that had not been touched by
the water His stock had just been
replenished by a large shipment. SO
that the flood caught him at a par
ticuIariy unfortunate time.

Capt. c. E. Douglass, in charge of

Captain Douglass has been doing
splendid work here. and friends of the

The meeting Sunday evening opened
with song service of twenty min
utes led by Professor Gardner. after
which Evangelist Andrews spoke upon
the theme. Christ; The All and In All,
taking his text Colossians 81 II, Christ
all and in all. He affirmed that any
gospel preached without Christ in it
was one that would not stand the test
of TIME or eternity. but that Jesus
Christ was the solid foundation to
build upon and that we were to be liv-
ing stones in the temple of God.
Christ himself was the foundation
stone laid for the building of Christ
ian character. tried and proven by
every test that could be put upon him,
and found worthy to be the foundation
of the gospel church. Rejected by the
Jews and high priests of his time, yet
he is become today the chief stone of
the corner. Whether Baptist, Congre-
gationist, Catholic. or Presbyterian or
Adventist, if you are building on
Jesus Christ you are safe. But keep
on building. That is the requisite.
Build not on wood. hay. stubble, but
on the sure foundation of Jesus Christ
and put into your building the pure
gold of Christian character, and. come
to seek the shelter of the power of
Jesus Christ, which will crush out the
power of sin in your life.

SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY.
MiddIetown Coroner Thinks Fort Ter
ry Soldier May Not Have Died from
Natural Causes.

In the opinion of Coroner Stephen b.
Davis of Middlesex county, Corp. Har-
ry Miller of the Eighty eighth company
of artillery. stationed at Fort Terry,
whose body was towed into Saybrool1
Point, Friday, came to his death by
foul means. The coroner will write to
Colonel Terry, informing him that the
jurisdiction of holding an inquest lies
with Coroner Franklin II. Brown of
New London county. However, Cor
orner Brown stated Sunday evening
that from all the information he had
about the finding of the body he
thought it would come under the ju-
risdiction of a New York state coro-
ner. He said he had heard nothing
from the authorities at the fort.
G. H. TENDER of Providence whose
yacht towed in the body, went to Mid
dletown on Saturday and made an affi-
davit to the finding of MiIler's body
floating in the Sound.
The body was buried on Saturday by
order of Coroner Davis and will not
be disturbed until an order from the
registrar of vital statistics is given.
Officers from Fishers island were at
Old Saybrook on Saturday to claim
the body. The statutes provide that
no body shall be removed from the
grave during the months of June, July,
August and September unless crimi-
nal act is proved. The officers returned
to their quarters and will probably
ask for the necessary papers TO remove
the body for investigation, stating at
the same time they had the right to
claim the body as it was found in the
governments domain and not in the
town of Old Saybrook, where the body
is inferred and Furthermore that Miller
was soldier under the jurisdiction of
the United States government and can
, be removed at any time on demand.
The authorities there differed with
them and demanded the necessary pa
pers for removal.
Medical Examiner w. L. Kelsey of
Old Saybroolz is quoted as saying that
he was not positive that the body of
Miller was without life when it en-
tered the water. The state of decom-
position was such that it had been ims
possible to perform an autopsy DR..
Kelsey said that it could not be told
for a certainty that the cuts in the
throat and neck were made by knife.
They may have been, the medical ex-
aminer said. or they may have been
caused by part of a boat striking the
body.
