New Clews In the Shoe-Box Mystery Two Pieces or Human Flesh Fonnd One Near Where the Body Was Fonnd and Another Near an Unused Well Constable Austin Finds Some Hair With Portions of Scalp Clinging to It Other Facts. Wallingford had another surprise yester day in connection with the shoe-box mys tery, which caused considerable excitement tor the time in that quiet town. Early yes terday afternoon the story began to circulate about the town that a human skull had been found in a well, a short distance north of the place where the shoe box was found, and on the property of a colored man named Sampson, whose house had been burned down a few weeks ago.

This story started Constable Bod. Austin and several other interested parties to visit the well, but they were unable to find any signs of a skull, and the constable returned about 7 clock last evening, but not without another important cine, After the constable had visited the well and found no skull or signs of one, he returned to the place where the shoe box was first found, and began another investigation of the surroundings This time he met with better success than in either of his former visits to the scene of the finding of the body. About ten feet from the place where the box was found in the direction of the fence over which the box is supposed to have been dragged the constable found in the grass two small bunches of coarse black hair clotted with blood. The pieces of hair were curly and to.one piece was attached a part of the scalp, showing that the hair found had evidently been pulled out by the roots from a scalp. The same odor came from the hair as did from the body, and the constable is now of the opinion that the hair is from the head of the victim of this one of Connecticut's most mysterious mur ders.

The finding of this hair leads the constable to think that the murder was committed near where the box was fonnd, and that the hair was pulled out of the murdered man's head while he was struggling with murderers. Others interested in the case think, however, that although the hair might have been pulled from the man's head during a struggle, that the murder was not committed near where the box was found, and that the hair had in some way caught on the murderer's clothes and had dropped therefrom while he was pulling the box along the ground near where it was round, ine nnaing oi tne nair, However, is but one more clew and will be work ed up for all it is Worth. Another story was that a white shirt all covered with blood had been found in some bushes on the road between Wallingford and broad swamp, about a quarter of a mile this side ot where tne murder was commit ted. This story originated from a boy named Myers, who said that he overheard some men sav that a Yalesville boy while out hunting yesterday morning saw some birds fly from near some bushes. The boy fired at them and one fell into a bush near the roadside and when he went to Bearch for it he discov ered a white shirt near saturated with blood which had since dried.

The boy was so frightened that he left the shirt where it was and returned home. This was the story, but whether it was true or not could not be as certained. Sunday Patrick H. Lynch, of Meriden, found a piece of human flesh near the scene of where the body was found, which he turned over to Constable Austin and which the latter has sent to Medical Examiner White for examination. The bit of flesh, which has a very bad odor, is about four inches long by two inches wide and has a piece of black curly hair hanging to it.

Near where Lynch tound -this nesn he tound a piece of tarred paper, and the opinion is that they were dropped by the murderer on his wav to or from where the box was hidden The cause for the story about the finding of the skull originated from the following facts: Last Saturday two young men living in Cheshire thought they would visit the scene of the murder and accordingly drove over there. When they had examined the vicinity to their satisfaction they started to drive back, but stopped at the old well in Samp son's place to get a drink. While there the idea originated in their minds that perhaps the other parts of the body had been thrown into the well, which was very seldom used. They obtained a long pole and began feeling in the well, which was aoout twelve leet deep and contained about six feet of water. They had not been poling long when they struck what seemed to them to oe a Dag containing some son substance, but they were unable to bring it to the surface, so they gave it up.

On their way home they stopped and told Deputy sheriff Beadle what they had discovered. and he said he would investigate the matter at once. That night, however, the sheriff was called on some other business and he-did not visit the place until yesterday. He took with him some grappling irons and made a thorough investigation of the well, but all he brought to light was two wooden pieces of board, which looks as if they might have been Bawed from the shoe box in which the body was found. JNear tne well, however, Sheriff Beadle found a pieoe of human flesh about two inches square, and covered with black hair about one halt an inch long.

The flesh was badly decayed and smelled bo badly that the sheriff, instead of taking it with him, stuck it np on a stick near the place and left it, a very strange proceeding for a sheriff who was naturally inter ested in the case. The sheriff also saw nu merous tracks leading to the well, and he is of the opinion that the object the boys strug gled so hard to bring to light was a bag containing the remains of the murdered man, and that the murderer must have kept a close watch on the well when he fonnd that the trunk had been discovered, to prevent anyone finding the parts of the body, and when he saw that the lads had made a dis covery be came and moved the bag as soon as possible. Ticket Agent Tuttle stated to a Courier reporter that he was not the man whom it is stated saw the box in a wagon on the Yalesville road, and that until the other day he had not been in Yalesville for years. He further stated that he thought the information he had to give to the coroner would not be of as much value as he first supposed, but that he should not at present state what it was. That Constable Austin considers as important what Tuttle knows is made evi dent by the fact that he has repeatedly warned tne ticket agent not to tell it to any one.

A story from Cheshire states that about eight weeks ago a man named Warner, who is a son-in-law of George Richardson of the latter place, disappeared and has not since been seen or heard from. Two weeks ago Mr. Richardson and his son mysteriously disappeared and they have not been heard fiom either, and the story goes that the son-in-law was put out of the way and that the leaving of the father and son afterwards gave color to several ugly rumors concerning them. Airs. Richardson, when seen by a reporter, however, stated that Warner is in Middlebury, but where her husband and son are she will not state or else does not know.

The mysterious man who is working up the case and who is supposed to be a Pinkerton detective stays in the vicinity of the finding of the body hunting for clues. Constable Austin says that when things get quieted down a little he thinks the mystery will be solved. Peaches Peaches. The first carload of the season will be re-A. J.

A notable and brilliant scene was present ed in Edinburgh August 2, at the graduation ceremonial of Edinburgh University in medicine, law and science, August 3, which oc curred at Synod Hall, Castle Terrace, in that city. A large representation of the distinguished men of Scotland was present. The Scotsman, in its report of the affair, says: "Lord President Inglis (the chancellor of the university) presided, and was supported by Sir William Muir (the principal of the university).

In 1854 Dr. Fisher after havine studied theology both in Amer ica and Germany was appointed professor of divinity and college preacner in tne Theoloeical school of Yale, and 1861 he resigned the chair for that of ecclesiastical history. He has distinguished himself especially the departments ot apolo getics and church history, in the former by his "Essavs on the Supernatural Origin Christianity" and "The Grounds of Theistio and Christian Belief;" and in the latter by his valuable works on "The Reformation Beginnings of Christianity. "During the present year he has published an admirable work entitled "Outlines of Universal His tory." which has been pronounced by com petent iudcres superior to any work of the kind in the English language. (Applause, Dr.

Fisher is also the author of many smal ler works and has been a frequent contribu tor to American periodicals. In 1880 lection of his contributions was published under the title of "Discussions in History and Theology." All his writings are marked bv solid learning, breadth of spirit, vigor ons reasoning and felicitous reasoning; and it is on these vigorous grounds that the senatus requests your loriship to confer npon him this highly merited academic distinc tion. (Applause.) In the next place, I have the honor of presenting to your lordship for the degree of doctor of laws the Rev. JNoah Porter, V. V.

LL. D. (applause) a distinguished theolo gian, philosophic thinker and a man of let ters. In 1831 he graduated at Yale college, and in 1836 was ordained as a pastor of the Congregational church. In 1840 he was ap pointed professor of moral philosophy and metaphysics in Yale college, and in 1871 he was elected president of the college, Among his numerous and valuable works may be mentioned his "Historical Discourses," "The Educational Systems of the Puritans and the Jesuits Compared," "The Human Intellect," "Books and Read ings," "Elements of Intellectual Philosophy, "The Science of Nature versus the Science of Man," "Elements of Moral Science," "Kant'i Ethics, a Critical Exposition," "The Ameri can Colleges and the American Public" and miscellaneous literary and philosophical papers under the title ot "science and oenti ment." Lastly, it is worthy of note that President Porter has also acted as chief editor of recent edi tions of Dr.

Webster's admirable dictionary (applause) a task on which he has bestowed much labor and learned re search. As a scholar and philosopher of En ropean as well as American renown, whose illustrious career has extended over half century. President Porter. was invited to re ceive the degree of LL. D.

at the tercentena ry festival of this university in 1S84, but was unable to attend. I have now the honor of presenting him in person to your lordship for this academic distinction, of which he is pre eminentlv worthy." (Applause.) un tne same occasion tne degree ot doctor of divinity was conferred npon Rev. Michael S. Stewart minister of the parish ot Momgratt, an old alumnus of tne umver sity, author of a dissertation on the "Book of Job," "Sermons," and "A Series of Let ters to his Parishioners' who fifty-five years ago was awarded the first prize by the late Professor Wilson for a poem of great merit, Within another month Mr. Johnstone com pletes the fiftieth year of his ministry, and owing to age and infirmity was unable to be present and receive the degree in person Also, says the Scotsman, tne secretary continued: "I have the honor of presenting to your lordship Monsieur Stephane Tarnier (loud applause) Dr.

D. was ottered on the occasion of the tercentenary festival in 1884. at he was unable to be present. Among the great services which he has rendered to science and to humanity are the introduction into his department of the most ap proved modern antiseptic, the invention of a conveuse, the discovery of new methods for the diminution of infant mortality, and above all his most valuable improvement in the construction of the forces (loud ap plause) invented by Chamberlen and further developed by Levret.

M. Tarnier has also contributed greatly to the prog of midwifery by the publication of his admirable text-book and other writings on the subject, and he has gathered around him at Paris an enthusiastic and admiring band of disciples, whose excellent work has tended materially to enhance the renown of that great school of medicine. On these grounds M. Tarnier is conspicuously worthy of the de gree which 1 ask: your lordship to bestow upon him." (Cheers.) The graduates were thereafter presented and were "capped in the usual manner by the chancellor. Recent Subscribers.

The Two Tear Old Baby Bitten Through, tne Cheek by Drakely-Hls Fiendish Bage The Girl's Story or the Murder. The Waterbury American of yesterday in its Woodbury correspondence relates the following regarding the Woodbury murder ease: There was considerable mystery about the two year old babe that was in Maud's care, but it is solved. She was caring for it its guardian, a New York physician. Postmaster Allen' has communicated with the-man and he is to send for the little one this week. The physician is the same one, it is said, who treated Harvey Dudley in Waterbury in Dr.

North's absence, when Maud Marwick was nurse there. Many domestic troubles took place about this babe and in one quanel Mrs. Drakely Btruck Robert. He was highly inoensed thereat and exhibited a revolver recklessly. After Al ien moved out the couple were left alone.

Mrs. Drakely was in constant terror of her husband and so told the neighbors. Mr. Allen's half of the house, left him for life by his first wife's aunt's (Sarah Orton's) will, was to have been made over to Maud, who had the other half, the morning after she was killed, the papers be ing in Lawyer Cothren's hands. Drakely had forbidden Maud's speaking to Mr.

Allen in anv wav and had said that there were two men he wanted to kill, George P. Allen and John Pierce, who married Drakely's cousin. On this account, the business proceedings had been somewhat embarrassed. The fatal Tuesday night when he came home crazed with liquor and chloral, her fear took posses sion of her. She concluded to sleep with her thirteen year-old daughter, Sarah and the baby.

Their room was on the second floor while her room was on the first. Drake ly came up and she started then to leave the room, first stopping to kiss the baby. After she had kissed it Drakely bent over and bit it through the cheek, the prints of his teeth in a circle on the fair flesh being still present and looking painful. Quicker than thought, it is said, Mrs. Drakely struck him.

In a rage he tore down stairs and be gan to shut doors. Turning to Sarah, the woman said, "I've gone too far; there is evil in his eye." and hurried down to her own bedroom where she locked herself in, After locking all the doors he had seven keys in his pockets when taken Drakely went to her door and fired two shots through it. He then burst it in and shot ier through the heart as she sat there undressed. He also fell. himself in a sort of swoon.

The terrified Sarah now made her exit through a window, finding all doors locked, went around and, peeking through a glass broken by a former pistol shot, saw her mother and Drakely lying on the floor. Drakely roused and pointed his smoking revolver toward her. She fled, re-entered the house, got the baby and ran for the neighbors. Drakely, wounded through the hand, climbed out the window and proclaimed that he was a mur derer. A Noted Checker Player.
