be was aelted with vomiting and going home became delirious After a while be became narcotised His mother promptly administered emetics and at oeca sent for a physician Mr Ives returning with tbe

In it from a little alter 4 o'clock till after 10 at night At that time the atupor began to disappear and at midnight the boy was pot to bed awaking Sunday morning bright bat rather week and nervous To-day he is all right again Tlk A bit Cel lew or He See Washinotox Aug 9 Collector resignation and his probable successor is the leading topic talked about la treasury department and In political circles here The change is attrlbnted to dtasatlsfactloa on tbe pert of the real-pant and treasury officials with Mr Hadden' management of the office and to his civil service laps tea and complications A number of names are max lloaed as Mr Hadden successor among them Silas Bart naval oflioer at New York and Mr Blaaell of Buffalo the president' former law partner Shipping Wear New York Arrived Circassia from Glasgow argot fro Hambnag i Jan Breydel from Antwerp Dorset from The Body not yet Identified A MOST REMARKABLE CASE AH Sorts of Theories Gossip Rumors and What Thick Representative Tbe usual Sandsy qaletade of Walling ford was greatly disturbed Sunday when it became generally known that a body had been found in a shoe box over In tbe Parker Farm district on a lot owned by Charles Jones The discovery came abont In this way Edward Terrell his brother Joseph and Giles Somers were ont for a ramble In tbe lots and dlscov ered a shoe box nnder some small trees near tbe huckleberry bashes and noticed a bad odor proceeding from the box They wrenched the cover off and found the trank of a man with the head arms and legs gone They gave an alarm and word was sent to Medical Examiner Me Ganghey who viewed the remains as best be coaid at that time bat coaid find no violence on the naked lifeless trnnk He foand that the Interior of the box also contained straw Diligent search was made for some clothing or anything that woold tend to throw some light on to the Identity of the man bat none conld be foand Dr McGtaghey says the man was between 35 and 40 yeara and had been dead between five and ten days Some clots of blood were also In the box On the outside of the box marked with a pencil were these words dozen seamless Cong machine sewed 6 to 10 5 wide French toe fine stitched No 7149 Mo 1138 VISIT BY A REPUBLICAN REPRESENT TIVE There were so many stories afloat about the case that a representative of tbe Republican went to Walhngtord and over the scene this morning early and remained all day He learned that the body was discovered as stated In the foregoing on the mountain in a rough dreary unused woodpath on the Wallingford line close by the dividing line from the town of Cheshire and it was apparent that the rode box had been hauled or carried 300 or 400 feet at least It wonld appear as If tbe parties bad INTENDED TO BURY THE BODY bat were frightened off or changed their minds believing that the finding of the box wonld cause more mystery and throw suspicion from the perpetrators of the deed Tbe body could not have been very long dissected as THE BLOOD WAS FRE8H on the box although decomposition had set In and tbe odor from tbe box was almost QDendorable Sunday afternoon Constable Austin Undertaker Griswold Storrs Hall and Martin went over the grounds and had great difficulty to find tbe box tbe man who first discovered it being unable to locate It They finally bad to send for an employe of David Gaylord well acquainted with the place and after ao boar and a half's search they discovered it tbe employe baying previously seen tbe box A SCOUTING PARTY left Wallingford this forenoon to scour the woods thinking perhaps that the head arms and legs may be found In boxes or Interred bat they had not returned late this afternoon and we do Dot believe they will find anything for we are decidedly of tbe opinion tbat some of tbe missing paits have been UTILIZED BT MEDICAL STUDENTS although it is bat fair to say tbat Dr McGaogbey of Wallingford and other physicians scout such a theory Tney say It was a deliberate murder for robbery or other purposes and was Dot in the interest of medical science But we base tbe theory of Its being tbe work of a medical man on tbe fact tbat tbe cutting was scientifically performed The head waa cat off at the fifth vertebra from the apex of tbe neck to tbe end of tbe spinal bone In a manner tbat wonld have done credit to a medical college The trunk was wrapped in Ur paper used by builders This paper is water proof and a deodorizer Indicating that professionals did the work Still the physicians said that any man accustomed TO KILLING PIGS would know how to perform such a ueat job But we doubt It very much They also say that If It was the work of students they have other means of disposing of the parts not needed Bat tbe fact that tbe box was found as It was only strengthens our view as It wonld tend to throw suspicion from the students if they were the gnllty ones THE THEORY IN WALLINGFORD is that a pensioner named Albert Cooley a man of Irregular htblts drew 91800 pension nearly two weeks ago-lh New Haven and he has not been seen at his regular haunts since He had beeii employed by Charles Young of Yslesvllle a batcher and tbe supposition is that some of chums who understood butchering murdered him for his money But It he Is as Irregular as reported It is nothing strange that heshonld be missing nntil his money gave out Beside the measure of the trunk (twenty-eight Inches) does not agree with that of what would measure Cooley is known In Meriden as he worked here at one time at Paddock's meat market CHIEF FORD ON THE GROUND Chief Ford knowing that a Meriden mechanic named Patrick Kinney of No 20 North First street was missing for two weeks wlthoot his family knowing anything of him went to the scene bnt wax satisfied after an investigation that ha waa not tbe man COBOMIK MIX came to Wallingford thls morning and with Constable Austin went over the grounds returning shortly after noon Tbe coroner amid he had not foand anything that had aot been already known In the afternoon a post mortem examination was made and the body was In a worse state than Snnday but It revealed nothing Indicating poison SHOULD BB DISCOVERED It wonld seem that ifj pains were taken the perpetrators of this horrible crime might be discovered Tbe shoe box has a trade mark and numbers In stencil a record of which is probably kept at the factory that shipped the goods This might be followed to the retailer who In tarn might be able to tell how he disposes of his empty boxes and in this way lead to the detection of the criminals A Massachusetts MpMary Boston

yesterday a formidable mob collected on the old bridge road and began indiscriminately to attack buildings men women and children no provocation for the demonstration being apparent Tbe police were early on handand probably by abundant experience gained the past week resorted to drastic measures at once The arrival of the police was announced by a fusllade from their gnns and the crowd with frightful yells and imprecations scattered several of the rioters were struck by shots but none severely injured In the afternoon crowds again assembled on the Grosyenor and Springfield roads and renewed the scenes of the morning Stones bolts bottles and every sort of missile filled the air and the occasional crack of a pistol was heard The mob increased in numbers and a panic seized the peacef nl portion of the inhabitants of the district They attempted to escape to other parts of the town and were set npon by the rioters and some of them terribly beaten Fortunately at this juncture an adequate force of military arrived and the mob fell sullenly back fear Ing a volley Comparative quiet reigned after this nntil eight in the eve ning when immense crowds took poses sion of the streets exasperated by their repnlse and frenzied by drink As if by prearrangement the crowd lost no time in paying their respects to the wine stores not one of which in the vicinity of the scene of their operations escaped their visitation Their manner of treating these objects of attacks differed bnt slightly from the attention showed Mr place daring the not of Jane 11 The furniture etc was demolished and the wine beer and spirits carried ont and served to the crowd Again the military appeared in force bnt the mob now maddened instead of dispersing presented a determined front and showered stones into the ranks The order was giyen to fire and a deadly volley was poured into the thick of the crowd Two men fell dead another fatally wounded and snch howls went np from the mob as left no donbt of the accuracy of the aim or deadly intent of the soldiers The crowd after venting its rage on the soldiers discreetly retired before the volley was repeated As the mob fell back thirty or forty wounded men were found in the street These were picked np and carried to the hospital and perhaps as many more found their way there on foot for treatment Several of those taken to the hospital were found not to be serioasly wounded and were treated and discharged Twenty-six of them were discovered to be very seriously injured and were retained One of them a boy has slnee died lotion Renewed To-Day Rioting was renewed here this morning and desperate fighting between the mob and the police assisted by the military has been going on since an early hour At this writing the fighting is growing fiercer and assuming large proportions The rioters are showing no mercy the police firing into their ranks and remorselessly shooting them down as though they were wild beasts So far this morning 80 persons have been brought to the hospitals for gnn shot wounds Thus far the police reports show that 11 persons have been killed and folly 160 serioasly wonnded since Saturday evening A majority of the wounded are suffering from gnn shot wonnds A soldier fired at a boy at close range and shattered the hand The soldier was at once taken into custody Twelve hundred soldiers

Thrown Ont of Work Augusta Ga Aug 9 Several weeks ago the Augusta factory operatives struck for an advance of wages They numbered 600 Since that time there has been much diplomacy between the Knights of Labor and the proprietors The strike was sustained by the other factories To offset this organization the six cotton mill presidents organized for protection against the Knights and this morning decided that the quickest and best way to settle all trouble at the mills was to notify tbe operatives that unless the strikers in the Augusta factory returned to work to-morrow morning all the mills in tbe citv wonld be shut dowD The Knights of Labor regard tbe action of the mill presidents as a lockout and will do the best they can The Augusta factory operatives have decided not to go back at the old rates The mills will therefore be shut down to-morrow and 4000 operatives will be idle this week Geronlmo'i Llit Tombstone Arlz Aug 9 Details of raid by band near Ures have been received A

last week One wa9 that they killed eleven teamsters All Americans and forty mules Another said seven Mexicans and two Americans were killed The last and probably more reliable report is that they

Mnlatos mountains stealing horses as they went and came from the direction of Puerto Car-nejo their old trail The country is terrorized and ranches for almost a hundred miles around will be abandonded
