Found Dead in Cellar,

Mystery is attached to the finding Sunday of the body of man believed to be Edward Butcher, of Bridgeport, in an abandoned cellar in the woods, three miles north of New Canaan. Dr. O. B. Keeler, the medical examiner, thinks the man had been dead for at least three days. Dr. Keeler said death was probably due to suicide. There were severe bruises on the body, and one arm was cut. Two empty bottles were found, and an examination is be- ing made to determine their contents.
 The cut on the arm and the bruises on the body are not serious enough to have caused death. It is thought that they might have been received in a fall while entering the cellar. The body was recognized by farmer as that of a man who asked directions for reaching a neighboring farm. The name, Edward Butcher, was found in note book.

The society has nothing to sell, but will be glad to answer by mail, without expense, any proper question on electrical matters submitted by a householder, manufacturer or office executive in any part of the United States or Canada. In all it's work the society co-operates with the public in securiny the present and future advan- tages to be derived from electric service in the home, office and factory.
 The headquarters of the society are in the United Engineering Societies Building, 29 West 39th street, New York city, which was gift from MT. Andrew Carnegie to the several en- gineering and technical institutes and associations located in New York.

German Dye Stuff Not Necessary.

The Lee Gleame- says: A Lee man interested in our leading industry has been looking into the dye stuff question and finds that one fourth of the dyes used in this country are imported and of the imported article large porpor- tion comes from Germany. That a greater proportion Of all dye stuff used in this country is coal tar production and could be made here as we'll as in Germany. Some of the leading dye producers in America may be solved by an increase of 90 per cent in the Ameri- can output. There may be delicate colOring matter used in the fabric color ing which cannot be produced here. Of this we have been unable to get definite information. Another man, interested in paints, says there is but one thing that he knows of which is a German production and cannot be pro- cured in this country and that is yellow ochre. There is an American ochre product but it is not equal to the German mined article. This however is small matter.

Marsh Sees "Punkin Show"

B. Frank Marsh. of Winsted and Hartford, deputy state treasurer who has recently returned from Vanwert, O., where he has been visiting his brother, tells story of an automobile trip through the state and of one in- cident in particular which impressed him favorably, although at the outset he was inclined to treat the whole show as joke.
 In the town of Delaware, in the Buckeye state, when he arrived on Wednesday, October T, it was the second day of the fourteenth annual "pumkin show" public function by which the people of that western town set great store and which is peculiar and distinctive. "There is a very broad street, which reminded me of o1r own Main street of Hartford, y said MT. Marsh, lon either side of which for about half mile or so were long tables, between which intervals in front of the stores were booths.
 "The paraders of the show were head cd by band and there were decorated pony rigs followed by show parade of light harness horses during the morning in the show ring. There were above 250 entries for the light harness racing as we'll as about twenty five entries for the saddle events. There were vaudeville performances and athletic events and all sorts of things contributed to the interest, show was free and seemed to be community affair and greatly enjoyed.

 by Hunter.
 Dr. Ross returned Thursday from his two weeks rustication in the Adiron- dacks, where he enjoyed the exhilarrt- ing sport ot hunting deer He brought home a quantity of smoked venison, which some of his friends have been permitted to enjoy.
 He had some exciting adventures in the big woods, one of which might easily have proved fatal to one of the guides. His party, consisting of a half dozen hunters, with their guides, had surrounded a deer, a short distance from the Chatiemac Clubhouse, and several shots were fired, apparently without effect on the deer, but one of the shots struck a guide, named Mark Carey, in the leg, and, brought him down. In the meantime the deer made a dash for freedom, in the direc- ton of the wounded hunter. Carey saw the animal coming, and turning himself, as he lay on the ground, he managed to raise his rife, and shot at the deer. The shot took effect and the deer dropped in it's tracks, dead.

Fritz krefsler Wounded.

Says the Norfolk correspondent of the Citizen: A letter has been received from tlle wife Of Fritz Kreisler, the vic linist (Mrs. Kreisler is an American woman), stating that in the rout at Lemberg he was run down by the horse of Cossack. He received a minor wound of his shoulder, but serious wound of a leg, which will require months for recovery. He was taken to Vienna. He was in Switzerland when he was summoned to war. Breisler says of himself, ''As an artist our lives in ones own world has ones own particu- lar experiences and emotions. But can say that as hastened to the banner of my regiment I was overcome by a feeling that brushed away the artist in me. Scarcely had I donned my uni form when felt myself soldier filled with the spirit of war" He is inn patient to rejoin his regiment and meet again his comrades. who in a very short time became very dear to him.
 Here is hoping that the disability of his leg will be permanent and will re- tire him from military duty and that he will yet limp on the stage of the music shed and play that concerto we heard about few years ago after he had been here. Kreisler will do more for. the worlds peace with his violin than in stopping bullet from shrap- nel sheel.
