in Windham county, ibe rascaliy acts of a band of rival horse thieves, outlaws and niKluight marauders have lievn brought practically to an This has for many years terror- irjj the- between Connecticut along the turnpike roads between New- Norwich, PlainSeld on the one hand, and Westerly, Bristol and Providence os the other. The operations cf the Warren family have been oa a larger scale than those of any gang of freebooters on the Connecticut and Khocle Islsad border for many years. A perfect reign of terror has existed. Border bounties, and especially the section between Connecticut and Rhode Island, have always fceen the prowling places of gangs of robbers and thieves and murderers, and in the tract operated in by the Warrens the Dick Tur- pins of the border have flourished for months and years at a time--ever since old Ezebiel Kookinton settled in Scituate in western Hhcce Island in 1717. Only a few years sgo a large posse of constables was required to break up the operations ot a band of horse thieres whose headquarters were in Hampton, and who literally terrorized" a circular section of country of which the town of Foster, R.

JL, was the center. Stables were continually being emptied, and one day a human body was found in the welioit ths Hammond farm, near Foster Center. This mystery was never cleared up. It was in this country, on a lonely road northeast of Hopkins Mills, R. that the famous murder of Bill Ide by his mistress, Jeannette Putnam, occurred on March 21, when Edward complained that his hurt his wrists, and white the xo- itsbtw was loosening them, and his posse failed to look alter all zueansof exit, Warren fled through the back door, took to the pines and escaped to his Rhode Island He veiled'back as ha ran that "no d----d constable was smart eaocga" to catch him.

But the plucky constable hung on to the case. He discovered Phillips and Kdvrard U'srrea prowling about a thicket in the pine woods near Hill a few days later, laid in wait for them, and captured them both single handed, after a fight. He secured a large banch of keys from them, including which unlocked the Handel house. "Caps." Werren. was subsequently cap- lass by the and assistants at back of bis hut after a struggle, during which wiiy fellow attempted to escape, and would have succeeded had ho not stumbled iu jumping a wait Once captured, the Warreas and Phillips confessed their and "captainTM agreed to return to Connecticut without a requisition.

The "captain" and will have to serve- long terms in WethursUeld Rate prison for breaking and entering, while the others will go to jail. They consented, tf ter a good deal of 'third work, to disclose tho places -where they had hidden their booiy, and the peopla thereabout have beau almost paralyzed with amazement ever since at the variety and number of their exploits. Xew owners are turning up for the property every day, and the oflkers are put on tho track of some fresh exploit or unvis- cairn of stolen property every time they visit the prisoners. Edward 12-year-old son revealed the presence of a large dugout in the garden of the Bandel house, which was completely filled with stolen farming tools, with their handles painted red so as to disguise their ownership. The woodshed of the Handel house was so ingeniously partitioned as to conceal a hidden chamber, accessible only through a 1 door to which access was had by a ladder.

Here were vast quantities of stolen plunder of all sorts--enough to start a series of second hand stores, including vegetables in large quantities and utensils of various sorts. Behind the partition of an attic room were found sixteen wood saws and sixteen axes. I Under a culvert a. Tmlf mile from Ballouville they had hidden four large feed sacks I full of clothing and a big wash tub of it, which they had takea from James Welsh. thieves delivered up the keys to 'THE TALE AStory with lima di Murska's Death, as the Closing Chapter.

Tha woman wns nearly dead from the abuse she had received at his hands, and he went to sleep with tha parting threat that when he awoke he would kill her. She knew he would keep his word, and she chose to live herself, so she blew out his brains with a double barreled shotgun. A Jury acquitted her and she is now living. Through the intuitive keenness and detective sagacitv of Constable Barstow the ring leaders, at- least, in the Warren family's gang of sneak thieves and robbers have been at last laid by the heels. The work of extermination has not yet, however, been fully completed.

There are others of the plunderers whose names and living places arc known, and it will be a matter or time only when they are hounded dovrn, for public opinion in. WindhaaV county is now- nerved up to the work of doinz it- The story of the Warren family is one of -the strangest oa record. The Warrens seem to be a oUisnish set of people who iatterly had been Jiving in the old Eiisha Handel house, situated in a very lonely spot, surrounded by shrub caks, on a road leading west Hopkins R. L. and not far from East Kiliingly.

The leading spirits of this gang, so far as at oresent given out by the officers, were Ed- raond Warren, who leased the premises, and who ha-i a wife and four children; his elder brother, Josiah Warren, the leader the gaog: fcis younger brother, Edwin, and Elmer Phillips. The father of this precious family was old Erastus Warren, a poverty stricken man. who had a belief that he bad been cheated ia a financial transaction he once had with a neighbor of reputed -wealth. He swore that forever after the community should pay to liim and his sons from its store tribute whatever lay around loose that could be conveniently laid hold of. The cynical old head the family led ths way and bis threa sons were not slow in following him.

Tae Warrens have drifted all over eastern Connecticut, having representatives living in EastfordC DayvHie, Brooklyn, Sallingly and Foster. Of powerful build and criminal cunniag. they nave always been held ia dread. Elmer Phillips was born in "Snag- wood," near Foster, K. 1 One of his brothers is now "doing time" in Rhode Island, There are abundant indications that the Clan Warren have been connected with other larger and acutar men, who have long had tls reputation of carrying oa thefts by wbich thousands of dollars' worth of property hive been spirited into places of concealment in that ccuntry.

for instance, into the old Handel housti There were several convenient fences in that border wilderness where stolen property has been held till it coalti be disposed of either in Connecticut or Rhode Island. If the booty was secured in Connecticut then it was run toward Providence, and vice versa. Tbe depredations of tbe c7aa. Tvere no-whera more felt than among ths manufacturing villages along tha Chestnut Hill brook, vrhere to carry on the business the foreign element has not yet driven out the native American girls from the mills. Thesa girls are eminently respectable, aiai many of thera ara well educated.

The fear of the Clan Warren was so great among them that they hardly dared venture on the street at night. In fact, everybody far that part of the country feared the Warrens. While the thefts of the gang have not beea of startling importance ia iasSvidual yet it is beliaved that they extend into tie thousands in nambsr. Farra uiessHs "were stolen, clothes lines without number -were stripped, many horses--some very valnable ones--were taken, and in ons case wagon loaded with grain was driven away in the night- Things Tvere going steadily from bad to when Constable Barstow was implored to take a hand ffl the garna. After studying the situation lor some time he engaged young Henry Daggstt to helji fcka, npd the two went to work.

Dsggett then -went en an ostensible heating expedition, and went into the Handel house and bought some cider. He espied a pair of Cape Cod fisherman's woolen stockings hanging in the fireplace. These he bought of Edwin Warren, and ifc Albert Hondo, a citizan of Chestnut Hill, subsequently identiSed them as his. Warrants at once produred for the arrest of Phillips and Edmund Warren, and. Constable Barstow went after ths men.

He found them in a new resort, the Simon Woodell house, an isolated habitation in Killingiy. He peeped in through a torn -window curtain at midnight and found the family roistering over some good things taken from James Burlingame. He went in and arrested Edward, "Capt" Josiah, Ed Moffltt and wife, and others of the Clan Warren just at the moment they were planning how to dispose of Burlingame's milk cans In Rhode Island for cash. Mitchell's grist and saw mill, where they had been in the habit of going and helping themselves to grain. them agree tbaz the "captain" did the planning.

Certain other well known thieves who have been acting in concert with tho gang, carrying their plunder to the east and north, aro now being looked after by the authorities. It is known that the pests are not entirely exterminated, but the authorities are satisfied that their palmy days are past, and that soon all of them will be safely set to work for the state. She Strayed Across tlie Ocean. DEDHJLH, Jan. September 3Irs.

Sara Smith, a widow of 60. mother of Joliffe Smith, assistant watchman at the Merchants' Woolen mills, disappeared from her home with her son's amily. She was in her every day attire, and although she was known to be slightly deranged, there was no suspicion that she would stray away. She, however, did not return. She was traced to a lonesome locality known as Muddy Pond woods, where the clew -was lost.

It was supposed that s'ae had perished in the woods, and fruitless search was long continued for her remains. Mr. Smith has just received a letter from his mother written from England, and saving that she was safe with friends here. Sue remembered wandering to Boston, where, ill in body and mind, she was piacal in a. hospital.

Oa getting ous she felt prompted to go to England and, the letter states, was furnished a passage thither by tha British consul. On reaching England she sought out friends of her youth, with whom siis now remains That TFasblneton Aqneduct- Jan. joint congressional committee on the investigation of the aqueduct tunnel held a meeting and heard the testimony of Expert Sparrow, who is sounding the tunnel and uncovering the rotten places. The condition of affairs in the big brick tube, as shown by ilr. Sparrow's evidence, astounded the committee, although all of its members thought they were prepared for any revelations that could be made.

The committee recalled Contractor Qasckea- bush and heard something on his side of the case. Tee committee can do nothing toward comoi'iing its reports until Mr. Sparrow completes his "sounding." That he cannot do in less -than eight or ten days. The expert engineers have also to await the "sounderV report. It is therefore probable that the committee's conclusions, which aro feeing looked for with soins degree of popular impatience and anxiety, will not be roftde known before Feb.

KEW YORK, Jan. extreme poverty to boundless wraith and fama. From affluence to poverty and death--heartbroken and forgotten. Such is the life story of llina di Murska, occo tha of song, at whoso feet lay tha wholo world. The news of her death which has just been received here, caused masij- a yigh to escapa the lips of these who had known hor aud had been charmed by that wouderil voice.

Sbe died at Munich Thursday--a complete wreck of her former sulf. Nothing was left of her glorious Her fortune was gone, and with it her friends. The only lo ro- main with her to tho last was her daughter, who, heartbroken at tha loss of her beloved mother, commitu-d suicido by taking poison. She had been stanch and truo to her mother in life; could she desert her in death? Hot to have heard Di Marsk.i whoa shu tras In her prime was a confession to b- ashamed of. She held the world spc-llbouad with her glorious, purw and flexible soprano.

Wherever sho went--in Europe, Australia, Zealand, Xortb and South America--tho people went wild over her. Royalty patroa- iaxl her. She was a among queens. Di Murska was not an old woman, ia generally believed. Sho was born in Croatia forty-five years ago.

Her parents wero poor. The girl gavo evidence at an early ago of being endowed with a voice that was remarkable for its purity and power. Wealthy people became interested in her and sent her to Vienna and Park, where she studied under Signer and Hme. MnchesL She made ter debut in 1S62 at tho Pergola theatre, in Florence. Peslh, Berlin, Hamburg and Vicuna engagements were crowned with success, and the girl bocarno a popuLir favorite.

Finally her London debut was mado at Her Majesty's theatre as Lucia do Lammcr- xnoor. Her success was electrifying aud her reputation was established. Di Murska. remained in London until 1S73, returning to the continent only during tho of! seasons. Maurice Strakosch, thnt prince of impresa rios, piloted her over an extended tour between 1S73 and 1S7C.

She came to America then for the first time. Her success in Ne Torfc was great. Tho brilliancy of her voca work captured tho town. Sho roturned ti Europe and did not return until two year" ago. Alas, a change had been wrought in those few short years I The beautiful woman old had grown prematurely aged and feeble her voice had lost its purity and quality; in short, lima di Murska was a wreck of ho former self.

She had been sent fo'r by Mrs. F. B. Thurber, who wanted her as n. teacher as tho Natfonal Conservatory of Music The famous singer was hailed with delight.

Sho had sung like a nightingale in her former days, but she could not tell the pupils tho reason why. So they declared her a failure as a teacher of singing and let her go. Thtn injudicious friends advised her to give a concert et Checkering halt Tho only thing she achieved was tho conviction that she was no longer the Di Mnrska who once had the world at her beck and calL She became UJL With illness came poverty. Had it not been for kind musical friends tbe singer with her young daughter would have been obliged to seek public charity. Her old friends once more came to the rescues They collected enough money to send her and her daughter back to Europe.

Oa Nov. 10 last they sailed on the steamer Eider. The singer and her daughter boarded tbe steamer atone. They were a sad. heartbroken couple.

Tho once famous prima donna said: "I am goicg away to die. I want to die among strangers. The only friends I ever had were Americans. Farewell, land of liberty and charily It was pathetic ia the extreme. When the steamer drew out of the slip the singer stood on the upper deck, sndly waving her handkerchief to those on the dock, who knew not the heartache that woman was suffering.

Tears streamed down her furrowed cheeks, and the last seen of her she was in the arms of her child, crying as if her heart would break. They retcmed to Munich, where they went into retirement Tbe little money that had been presented to them here was soon gone and poverty, direst poverty, stared them in tha faca Death ended their misery. Di Murska's voice was nearly three octaves in compass. Her ability as a bravura singer remarkable. To this she added much talent as an actress.

room iu police headquarters, vrhero was lying the booty found in a house in this city where lived George Taylor, alias Freeman, alms Foster, and Frank Tilghiuan, with Jennie Webster. The people wcro trying to identify articles stolen from their houses by the two men. who are desparato burglars. Among the stolen property token charge of by tho police is a great quantity of jewelry, somo money, lots of clothing and hundreds of of valuable bric-a-brac. The prisoners aro all colored.

Taylor was the pal of William Dorsey. tho mulatto second story burglar, who is now serving a sentence of twenty years at Slug for robbing Banker Matthew Morgan's bouse In Lexington avenue, in November. 1SS7, whan he carried off $20,000 worth of diamonds. Taylor is a dangerous man, always prepared to kill, if accessary, when on au expedition. Tilghmun, a burly lu-gro, who was Taylor's "outside man" in many midnight burglaries in Jersey City, Newark.

Elizabeth and other Jersey towns, was picket! up an hour luter in the West Twenty-seventh street house, and Jennia Webster, who is a chann- ingly pretty mulatto of 33 years and the mistress of Taylor, was found there also. It is believed that tho prisoners had something to do with tho assault upon Broker Daniel H. Boanett, at IJjOX'Forrest avenue, Jersey City, but Inspector Byrnes denies that 'ho has anything like convincing evi- donco of their guilt in this case, in which, for a time, suspicion Was placed upon Augustus Bennatt, a son of the assaulted man. Inspector Byrnes declares that ha has evidence against Taylor and Tilghman to convict them of enough burglaries to send them to Sing Sing for sixty years apiece, but he has notified the authorities in several Jersey cities of their arrest, and will probably hear more things. Tho Farmers' Institute.

Jan. third day's session of the Farmers' institute opened with Vice President Farmer in the chair. A paper entitled "Bee Keeping in Agriculture" was read by Professor A. J. Cook, Michigan Agricultural college, Lansing, Mich.

He said it was the lata Charles Darwin who first demonstrated that cross by aid of insects was absolutely necessary to secure any fruitage in case of many of our wild and domesticated plants. He showed that other plants would bud scantily but would only bring meager crop unless insects acted as marriage priests to bear the fructifying pollen from the anther oE ona flower to tha atigma of the other. These facts have been proved and havo never been disputed. Dr. James Law, of Cornell university, read a paper on "A Fight with the Microbes of Lung Plague." At tho evening session the following papers were read: "Scientific Agriculture," by Dr.

Peter Collier, director State Experimental station, Geneva; "A Seed; a Chapter Suggestions, 71 by Professor L. H. Bailey, Cornell university, Ithaca, PmsucBG, Jan. anancdersof this town wen? startled on reading of tho arrest of ex-Cashier H. F.

He was held in turn of $10,100 oa each charge. In September last tho bank failed, with, total deficit of over $250,000. That such, deficit oxistwl was unknown to the stockholders or of tho institution until shortly before tho suspension. Thisictdli- gcuce created a profound sensation at the timo, but tho public was told that there wenr accounts aud other available assets enough la almost reimburse depositors and stock- holders.
