Allen Pettibone, aged 94, who. has been a life-long resident of Granby, committed suicide in that place Tuesday by hanging himself to the bedstead by means of the rone he used to raise himself up in bed. He was found yesterday morning.

For some months Mr. Pettibone has been confined to his bed, suffering from gangrene in the foot. He was the oldest resident of the town. His wife died a few weeks ago at the age of 85 and he felt her loss keenly. He lived in a house near Salmon brook, one part of which was occupied by his daughter-in-law, who had cared for him.

He retained hia vigor till a few years ago and was always a hard-working man. His helplessness was therefore all the more grievous to him. He -was a prominent figure at the Second Advent camp meetings. Connecticut Lltonuy Institution Notes. E.

Sonsatlou Urowlutr Out of tUo Police Officer's Arrant of Harry Klutf liouils Frwoly Offered Notes. Captain Hlllhouse, last Monday night, about 9 o'clock, noticed a team being driven through Main street at terrific speed. The horse was in a reeking sweat and presented the appearance of having been overdriven. The team stopped near the corner of Bank street and one of the occupants alighted and the other turned about and started down the street at a moderate gait. Captain Hlllhouse had already started after the team and met It coming back.

He arrested the driver and ordered Officer Maxwell to take the horse to the stable while he took the driver to the police station, where he for the first time learned that his prisoner was Harry King, a son of William II. King of this city, that the, team belonged to Chauncey H. Wilson of Windham, who drove it as far as Bank street. As soon as the situation was explained, the captain released young King, as he did not think he or Mr. Wilson would be guilty of abusing the horse, although he was satisfied that the horse was being driven faster than the city ordinances allowed.

The matter created a little excitement at the time and nothing more was thought of it. But young King's father was indignant when he of the affair, and after nursing his anger until yesterday morning, put the case In Attorney Bennett's hands. But to get a criminal process was not as easy as it once was when one out of a half dozen grand jurors could be got to sign a complaint without knowing the nature of it, and so a civil suit was brought, charging the captain with assault and false imprisonment and subjecting young King to the infectious conditions of the police headquarters. The warrant instructed the sheriff to attach property of the captain, and In the event of not finding any to take his body. The papers were signed by Attorney Walter Bennett as Justice of the peace and given to Sheriff Pomeroy, who arrested the captain at 1:30.

He remained in the custody of the sheriff until 4 o'clock before he decided which of the many bondsmen who offered their services he would select. Kditor McDonald of the "Chronicle" drew the lucky number and qualified as bondsman for $1,000. The case is returnable before the superior court at the September term and an interesting contest is anticipated. Captain Hillhouse has retained State's Attorney Hunter and Attorney George W. Melony to defend him.

Charged With Cruelty to a Horse. Captain Hillhouse. went to Westerly Tuesday and arrested John G. Dennl-son. returning with him In the evening.

Dennison, who is a young man, was with L. P. Chapman who, it will be remembered, was arrested in South Windham last Saturday for abusing a horse July 4. Chapman's case was adjourned until to-morrow at his request. Chapman's claim was that Dennison hired the horse and drove it and was :v.i r.

surf. ru-nnl Ti'aa I HSIMIMSIUIH 1(11 1 (lLCVCl UV 1 A inflicted. Dennison denies that he hired or drove the horse and pleaded not guilty in the police court yesterday morning and the case was continued until to-morrow morning in order to try them both at the same tirni. A Special Train for Norwich. An effort is being made to secure a special train for Norwich to accommodate those who would like to attend the bicycle races In that city, postponed to Saturday afternoon from July 4.

The Central Vermont Railroad will run a special train for a guarantee of 100 passengers at 65 cents each for the round trip, the train to leave this city at 1:15 and returning to leave Norwich at 9 in the evening. Papers have been placed in stores, where those who would patronize a special train can register and it is believed that enough pledges will be obtained to assure the train.
