the hard. winter of $50 with very little
work; he with many others boarding
the entire winter at the old Mansion
house among whom were the late Giles
Stevens and Mort. Finch.
Mr.. Reed was the first one to plant
hop yard in the Buckeye settlement

manning ones who cast their first vote

E. church, who preached a powerful
sermon from Ii Coz. 81. For we
know that, flour earthly house of this

building of God, a house net made
with hands, eternal in the heavens.
A male quarlette consisting of Rev.
Clifford, Messrs. kirkpatrick and
Townsend brothers rended the follow
ing beautiful hymns: Rock OF Ages,
Gods Loving Hand, Jesus Lover of Ny
Soul, the latter being favorite with
the deceased, he having sung one

CHAPTER XIV.
A Detectives Work.

p n CORNING!
I'VE The living household was
~ about it's tasks for all the
49, horror of the night before,
ard the still unrelieved suspense as
to the fate of one of its members.
The maid, who had sat on watch in
the upper hall for so many hours the
evening before, was again at her post
but this time with her eye fixed only
on one door, the door behind which
slept the exhausted Anitra. Ran
SONS room was empty; he was in
the sitting-room below, closeted with
the lawyer.
Some one had been there before
them. The tray of bottles and glasses
had been removed from the table,
and in their place were to be seen
woman's damaged hat and a small
tortoise-shelI comb. Mr.. Harpers
hand was on the former, which was
wound about with a wet veil.
"I think I recognize this" said he.
eat least I have a distinct impression
of having seen it before"
cit was picked up with the veil
still On it near the entrance of the
lane" explained Ransom.
"Then there can be no doubt that
it is the hat Miss Hazen wore during
her journey. She tossed it off the
moment her foot touched the ground
from the coach, and taking the shawl
from her neck pulled it over her head
instead. You remember that she had
no hat on when they brought her in. .
81 remember, This is Miss Hazen's
hat without any doubt"
The lawyer eyed the speaker with
curious interest. There was some
thing in his tone that he did not I'M
derstand.
"And this?" he ventured, laying a
respectful finger on the comb.
Found in the open field between
the house and the mill-stream."

NORWICH DEMOCRATS HAVE
 EIGHT DELEGATES
State Central Committee Assigned Only Seven as the Towns Propor-

While the democratic state central committee assigned seven delegates as the number to which the town of Norwich would be entitled to in the state convention, there were eight elected when the Norwich democratic caucus was held. The eight delegates will go to the convention and the proper number to represent the town will it is expected be settled there
 The difference arises through the local town committee and the state convention having used a different set of figures as the basis to determine the proper proportion of delegates. The rule promulgated by the conVntior was as follows:
 Each town shall be entitled as a town to twice as many delegates as 1t has representatives in the legis lature, and all towns in which the vote cast at the last presidential election exceeds 1000 shall be en- titled to one additional delegate foI each additional 1000 votes then cast and also each fraction thereof ex- ceeding one-half.
 The delegates from this city are Mayor T. c. Murphy. William H. Cal lahan, Martin Keough, Judge T. J Kelly, John Benoit. Dr. William C. Mclaughlin, Elmer E. Kingsley. Pat rick T. Connell
 William H. Shields is to present the name of Charles W. Comstock of Montvidle when he is nominated for governor in the convention.
