LOOKING FOR A CREAM-COLORED SLOOP WITH A GILDED EAGLE ON HER STERN THAT AN- CHORED IN STRATFORD HARBOR ON THE DAY OF THE MURDER. A telegram trom Stratford, Sept. 20, says: The coroner's inquest In the Rose Ambler case was adjourned to-day uatil Saturday next. Beyond a doubt the adjournment was to aecom- iwodate the detectives who are working on several new clues or alleged clues. Much con- fidence is placed in the report implicating the captain ot a cream-colored oyster sloop. The report that one of the Fuller detectives is look- ing up this craft in New York is erroneous. No Fuller mez are at work on the case. One ofthe regular detectives islooking after this particular clue, and has taken the tull memoranda of her description frown the old fisherman here who e craft. Coroner Holt, was seen in port this afternoon. and enough was ned from him to show that he places much Importance upon the connection ot tlus sloop with the crime. although he refuses to make public anything concerning her. He admitted that he knew of the existence of the story on Tuesday last, but would not tell what detective he has put on the c ring, he says, will last into next or until the vessel can be heard from. He knows the name of the mys- terious eraft, but will not divulce it. None of the Stratford fishermen can tell the name or hail of the vessel around which so much interest now centers, but she was of Long Island build, and evidently haiied from one of the ports on that shore of the Sound. It is suid that Wm. Lewis’ family so investizating the theory involv- ing the vessel, as it effectually clears him from all suspicion. The sloop arrived at the mouth of the Housa- tonic river and sculled up the tortuous channel to a point abreast the Stratford wharves, about halfa mile away, Just before 4 o'clock on Sun- day afternoon, September 2, the day of the murder. She was of greenish eream color, with a high bow and alow stern. A gold eagle ornamented her stern, and the paint was knocked off her sides'in several places. She had a tall topmast, surmounted by a gilt ball anda broad red fly, on which was a white letter which could not be deciphered from the shore. The trank of the cabin was white. The boat was evidently of twenty tons burden. Her sails were nearly new and her topsail bazzed in the wind in its seat on the masthead cap, where it was clewed down as the vessel came | into the river. Her captain and crew consisted of one man only—a tall, broad-shouldered, bronzed fellow, with large hands. As he round- ed his boat to for anchoring he hauled down his {; around which he carelessly tied a rope to hold ft in place. Then he let his mainsail run “all standing.” It was suffered to remain on the deck as it fell, the man’s object (now that the Stratford people have thouzht it over), being to yet into his cabin as quickly as possible. He went down below at once, after throwing a small white sharple overboard and dropping her astern. The Stratforders think that the strange man wore a suit of dark blue cloth of yachting cut and make, and a slouchy white felt hat. No one took particular notice of the craft that after- noon, as it was by no means an unusual cir- cumstance for vessels ot her classto drop anchor in the harbor. Night came on. Tt was dark andrainy. At9 o’clock that evening it wasas black as ink. Oystermen who came up the harbor past the strange sloop early in the evening say that the sharpie was gone. The theory is that the strange man had gone ashore to intercept Rose Ambler on her return home from her evening with her lover; that the stranger knew of this practice, and, in fact, that he was acquainted with her, although a married man, and was pay- ing attention to her unknown to Lewis; that he met Rose Ambler at about 9:20, or soon after she left Lewis’ house, and that the reason she always walked alone from Lewis’ was because she had this lover and did not wish Lewis to know ef him; that the pair met on Paradise 6 n and talked for a while under the rustic shelter there during the rain, which accounts for the absence of dampness on Rose’s shoes and clothing, and then, the rain being over, they strolled tozether up the broad clayey walk under the Main street elms toward the Raven Stream bridze and Rose Ambler’s home. _it is a half mile from the green to the bridge. On their way they quar- reled. He pinched her or slapped her, and she threatened to scream. This scared ‘the man, and he seized her roughly. Not until then did she scream “ Murder,” which was heard by the family in the house to the south of where the body lay the next morning not 200 rods away. ‘Thoroughly aroused to the sean- dal that would be created were he detected with the woman, who bore the reputa- tion for being fond of the men, he choked her to insensibility in his mad fright. The shock and the unfortunately long time he held her by ,he throat killed her. The man came by sloop on this occasion because he wished to avoid detection in passing over the road leading through the village early in the evening. Six persons testified betore the coroner's Jury last week to hearing him or some one else run violently down the hard road to the harbor on the night of the murder. Several belated Strat- ford oystermen will testify toseeing the sloop go out of the narbor at about midniht under the head of her mainsail and a “bobbed” Jib in the brisk gale. She had no lights set. ‘This sloop is the talk of Stratford to-day. As the case now stands, every other suspicion has been set at rest except that against the mysterious and eccentric stranger and that ayainst Wm Lewis. Belief in the former is cun- fined to a narrow circle, and, belief in the latter is almost as general in Fairfleld county as the conviction that Rose Ambler Is dead. This will- ingness to believe Lewis guilty 1s due almost a much to his personal unpopularity as to the circumstances which surround him. Since the murder all the points in Lewis’ connection with the dead woman have been brought out and exaxerated by gossiping tongues. The bare Ithout any elaboration, puts Lewis in a most unfavorable light. &s has been told before, he and Norman Ambler, the dead woman's divoreed husband, were once ners, in business and warm personal friends. Ambler has the reput generous fellow: Lewis is know devoid of any tion of being a whole-souled who is his own worst enem ascold, cowardly and utteri of the points that go to make up a companionable man. Ambler had no secrets fro: and h ed to him of his Joys and sorrows as freely as he did to his own wife. Rose noted the confidence of her hus- band; and a similar feeling of trust grew in her Lewis and Ambler were in the habit of going together to Bridgeport in the evenings. For a time they returned tozether, and then Lewis bezan to come home alone. When Mra. Ambler inquired after Norman Lewis hinted, if he did not openly assert it, that Nor- man was going tothe dogs. and that he was giving to other women the attentions that be- lon; to his wife. The suspicion awakened by William Lewis’ remarks grew stronger day by day under his careful nursing, and at length it culminated in the betrayal of the wife of the man whose friend he professed to be, and who had shared with him all that he had In the world. When Ambler learned that his wife had procured a divorce through the connivance of Lewis and with the help of Lewis’ money he was indignant and talked of what he would do to both of them, but he never did it, and went away and buried himself and his sorrows umong stranzers, while Lewis enjoyed the fruits of his treachery and baseness. It is in the prejudice that such conduct would naturally excite that suspicions against Lewis have had their origin. Three weeks of patient and conscientious labor on the part of the de- tectives has resulted in the accumulation of a number of facts concerning Lewis, which, as State Attorney Fessenden admits to-night, will hot warrant even an arrest upon suspicion. Capt. Clark and his wife have been sub- Jected to many interviews with the detectives recently, and it 1s claimed that facts have been brought out which will be of much use in future Investigation. Among other things it will be shown that Rose and Lewis have not been living a turtle-dove sort of lite for the past six months, and that the unpleasant- ness arose because there was another man in the case. Rumor has it that, it was in order to meet him that Rose afWays insisted on walking home alone, and the unknown maa whom pretty Miss Roberts saw lounging on the bridge when she took a walk on the evening of the murder with Lewis Wilcoxson has never yet been satis{gctorily accounted for.

SAM PINE, WHOM ALL WESTCHESTER COUNTY HAS BEEN SEEKING, IN JAIL AT LAST—IDENTI- FIED BY HIS VICTIM—MANY CHARGES AGAINST HIM. From the New York Sun, 20th. Last Sunday morning some people ving in Newtown, Fairfield county, Conn., founda horse and wagon that had been abandoned by its driver onthe public highway. The rig wassecured and taken to Hawleyville, and there turned over to Constable William H. Glover. The rig tallied with the description of one that had been stolen from Orson Hazen, of Mahopac, West- chester county. Asastrange negro had been seen in the highway, rot far from the place where the rig was found, Deputy Sheriff Cro- futt, of Danbury, was asked to come on and take charge of the search for him as the prob- able thief. At Hawleyviile Mr, Crofutt got a number of men together dnd started them out fora search of the country. Before night Con- stable Glover found the man seated on a log in the woods. ‘The negro was searched, and two revolvers, & number of store keys, and a sum of money were found on him. He gave the name of Clarence Smith. He was taken to Danbury jail. On Monday he was taken before Justice Cava- naugh of Newtown. Mr. Hazen identified the property, and the negro was held, Sheriff Cro- jutt, who had examined the property found on the negro, concluded that the keys and money were from the store of Bailey & Gage, of Ridge- field, which had been robbed on September 8. When Pine reached Danbury he found David S. Gage waiting for him. The keys were identifled by Mr. Gage, and on Tuesday the negro was taken before Justice Scott, at Ridgefleld, and was held on a charge of burglary. As he was going back to Jail he passed a colored man. The two looked very hard at each other, and Smith shook his head. In a restaurant where he was taken for dinner a waiter acted as if he knew the prisoner. Sheriff Crofutt began to suspect that Smith was the negro for whom the inhabi- tants of Westchester county werelooking at one time, some of them with ropes in their hands, To settle the matter, Crofutt sent a man to Pur- dy’s station on Tuesday evening to bring over Miss Sarah Stocum, the school teacher who was outraged by a negro while on her way to school one morning in June. Miss Stocum was taken to the home of her brother-in-law in Danbury yesterday morning. Shortly afterward Sheriff Crofutt drove by the house with Vine in the buggy. Miss Stocum sat ata tront window peeping through the open blinds at the moment. ‘The instant she saw the prisoner she cried out: ‘That's the man! That’s the man!” Then she almost went Into convul- sions. Restoratives were applied, and soon after the prisoner was brought in. He was taken to a room up stairs, and there examined by Miss Stocum. She stood before him and looked at him in various positions. Finally she said, “That's the identical man; I am positive of it.” During all this time Pine did not utter aword. No questions were asked him. From the house he was taken to the sheriff's office, sad at noon Mr. Crofutt took him to Bridge- bort. On Tuesday it was rumored around Danbury that thé horse thief and burglar was the man Pine, and fora time the people were greatly ex- cited. Some even talked of raising a mob, and taking him to Purdy’sstation toturn him over to the relatives of Miss Stocum. A leader forthe mob could not be found, and the project fell through. Pine was seen in the Bridgeport jail last night. In answer to questions he would only gay: “A man in my position had better keep still.” Al- though he denied his identity as long as he was in Danbury, he recognized’ Sheriff Crosby at Bridgeport as the officer who arrested him for the first crime in which he was detected when a boy thirteen years ago. He was then sent to the reform school. The last time he suffered punishment for crime was in 1876, when at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. For stealing silver plate. he and his companion, George Washing- ton, served three years in the Western peniten- tiary. At Purdy’s station, the home of Miss Stocum, peopie were greatly excited yesterday over the news of Pine’s identification. Those who searched the woods the night after the as- sault was committed gathered on the corners and talked of lynching him when he was brought Into;Westchester county. It is belleved there that Miss Stocum’s father will shoot Pine on sight, unless prevented by the officers. —___—<§_e- ___ Discipline in Rusyian Schools. Correspondence of the London Globe. The proposal to reintroduce whipping into Russian schools has done something more than send a thrill of indignant excitement through the teaching classes of this country. ‘It reveals weakness in a department of state to which the public have always been led to attribute excep- tional strength and efficiency. That a national system of education should fail on the discipli- nary side is a strange experience inaland which has for centuries been associated with the use, or misuse, of the knout; yet this is practically the confession that is made by the highly-placed pedagogues who are now zealously urging on the minister of public instruction the value of the rod as a means of education. Appearances are certainly not in favor of the view that there is any serious lack of discipline in the middle and elementary schools of tue empire. To judge by its regulations, the gymnasiuin, for example, is quite a model of strictness and propriety. The scholar is kept in order by rules trom the very outset of his educational career in one of these establishinents. There are rules regula— ting his attendauce at church and his behavior during divine services; rules showing him when he is to have holiday and when to return from them; under what pretext he may forsake his class, and with what diligence he must make up for time lost durigg illness; rnles fixing his behavior to his teachers in and out of school hours; and a variety of other rules incul- cating politeness, honesty, truth, early rising, &c. Relaxation must be indulged tn carefully; amusement he cannot have at all if it can only take the form of ‘theatrical representations harmful to the moral sentiments.” Masquerades he mast not visit, por must he enter the wine- cellar, the coffee tavern, or the confectioner’s shop. He is held to cleanliness ot person and forbidden to smoke tobacco or drink spirits. Long hair ts an abomination with the school authorities, aud if the pupil has unwittingly en- courazed the growth of a beard, he can only hope to escape punishment by a timely visit to the barber's shi Ornament of all kinds, in fact, Is forbidden, and so into the same category with the “unnecessary” beard are thrast the un- necessary ring, walking-stick and eyeglass. Sa- luting the emperor when met in the street 1s provided fur by a very strict regulation, the observance of which has fallen in desuetuae of late years rather owing to want of opportunity than lack of will, Of course, the scholar has a unifurm. This is indispensible. It teaches the inilitary idea how to shvot, and it gives mate- tal ussistance to the police, who are empow- ered ty enforce the regulations prohibiting the visits of students to masquerade balls, wine- cellars and other objectionable places of resort. ‘The Use of Swamp Ponds. Speaking of carp ponds, a farmer writing toa Western paper says: ‘We write from actual experience in this matter, having in earlier days caught many a nice string of fish in a pond that was formerly a swamp. During one day in August a farmer, with two of his boys, went In it with a plow, road-scraper, and shovels, and in a short time had a pond of nearly an acre in extent. This he stocked with fish common to the sluggish streams of the neighborhood, and procured others at some distance from the farm. For years thereafter it proved to be the best acre on the farm.” ber of places in all parts of the country which could be profitably conyerted into fish ponds, thus increasing the provisions supply, is 80 great as to surprise any whose attention is first directed to the subject. We know of an in- stance where a land owner, well up on the Cumberland plateau, 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, is now converting a low.swampy spot on his holding to a wide. deep pond, which he is confident he will soon have stored with fish, ‘The rich, black humus he is scraping from thé bottom of the basin he intends to utilize in en- riching a large plantation of cultivated black- berries. Pertinent to this subject, a writer in the Prairie Farmer observes: “Never allow a net to be cast in your pond. Teach your boys and girls to take their fish ina one manner, ‘with rod and line.’ If the fish increase too rap- idly, then have a family pienic, invite your friends and neighbors, and have a grand, ee time cooking your fish near the pond, and have one good day’s et beside this, the beat acre on your farm.”—. ‘Wants a New Mother for His Children.

His Account of How He Became Im- Plicated in ® Malpractice Case. = The cases of the Rev. Alfred F. Vedder and Dr. James A. Patterson, charged with criminal malpractice on Mis’ Annié Walter, were consid- ered by the grand jury in Albany, N. Y., last Wednesday. A special to the New York Worldfrom Albany says: The clergyman o¢cuples a cell in which the murderers wenstein and Latrimouillé were confined, and, which he shares withHough- kirk, the Le ees leader of the alleged barn- burners. Mr. Vedder is a native of Schenectady, was fairly educated ard when quite young learned the art of dentistry. Through the in- fluence of friends he obtained a position as clerk in one of the departments at Wash- ington, but did not keep it long, and was suddenly compeiled to resort to dentistry for a livelihood. The sudden and somewhat tragic death ot one of his boon companions awakened him, and he at once *‘reformed” and resolved to not only lead a better life, but to become a minister of the gospel. To this end he rejected atempting offer to go to California and practice his profession, and entered Princeton theologi- cal seminary. As his studies drew to a close he preached asa candidate at West Milton, where his politeness, his activity and the Indications ot Intellectual abilities won for him an unanimous call to the chureh. He was installed as pastor on the 6th of March, 1877. About a year later he married Miss Margaret Wager. Two children have been born to them, one of which died, and the youngest, scarcely halfa year old, remains. Miss Annie Walter fs the daughter of Silas Wal- ter, a highly respectable and well-to-do farmer. Her mother died about five years ago and her father has remarried. Vedder protests that he ts the victim of a con- spiracy growing out of his relations to the family of Miss Walter as their adviser in money affairs. A small fund belonging to her was placed in his keeping, out of which he was to pay her bills, When he paid Dr. Patterson for the malpractice he did it supposing it covered legitimate medical attendance. Thus he claims to have been Se SS MANIA FOR KIDNAPPING. Operations of a Hall-Breed Ruffian in Georgia and Alabama—Lynching Ex- pected. A telegram to the New York Herald from Co- lumbus, Sept. 16, says: Threq recent kidnap- pings bya man named John Ogletree have caused as much excitement in Georgia and Ala- bama as the Charley Ross case ever did at the north. On Wednesday last, while James C. White, who lives ona farm in Jackson county, Ala., was absent from home, Ogletroe rode up on a horse and induced one of Mr. White’s young sons to accompany him to a spring halt a mile from the house on the pretext that he wanted to herd some cattle there. Ogletree made the boy a prisoner and hurried away with im. IN PURSUIT. Upon his return home White gathered a posse of farmers and started in pursuit. Yesterday Ogletree darted through allacoes alone at breakneck speed, but his crime being unknown there no effort was made to detain him. A few hours later White and his posse reached the town in pursuit of Ogletree, and upon learning how near they were to their game continued their pursuit on the gallop without a moment's delay. It hassince been learned that the boy was last seen in the kidnapper’s company at Oak Levee, a small place fifteen miles from Tal- lapoosa. The child had been brutally beaten, and his blood stained clothes attracted so much attention that the villagers became indignant and demanded explanation of his condition. With undaunted temerity Ogletree sald the boy was his son, and the injuries were the result of a beating administered by a nero woman who had knocked him in the head with a wagon spoke and left him for dead on the road. The villagers seemed satisfled with the story and Ogletree passed on. PROBABLE MURDER OF THE BOY. When he rode through Tallaposa blood stains were noticed on his clothes, and there is little doubt that, being hard pressed by the pursuers, he murdered the boy after leaving Oak Levee and hid the body in the woods by the road side. The boy was only nine years old, was dressed in home-made clothes and had one very Sore toot when carried off. The body can there- fore be very easily identitied iffound, Ogletree is aswarthy complexioned, muscularly built halt-breed of medium height, with a murder- ously bad record. A tew weeks ago he threw Atlanta into excitement by abducting Charles Tilden. The chase got too hot, however, and the boy was recovered soon.

The Ala- bama anthorities have offered a reward of 2500 for Ogletree’s arrest, but there isnot a doubt that he will be overtakenand lynched by White and his companions before morning. $$ Why He Brought Them Back. ‘From the Arkansaw Traveller. Asmall boy with an Intelligent face went into afruit dealer's store and depositing a box of grapes on the counter, stood looking down, “I don’t want the grapes, my little fellow,” saldthe dealer. “I've got as many nowas I can sell. Take them away.” “They are yours,” the boy sald, looking up. “Mine?” “Yessir. Yesterday evening I came along here and took this box of grapes from the stand at the door. I knowed it was stealin’, an’ my mother always told me not take anything that did not belong to me, but Icouldn’t held it. Just before I left home my little sister that was sick said, ‘Oh, if had some grapes like them I saw down town, 1 could eat ’em.’ We didn’t have no money, an’ nobody knowed us, ‘cause we had Just moved into the house. Mother washed clothes, but when sister got sick she had to quit. When I took the clothes home the lady told meto come next day for the money, but when I went there the house was shut up and the people was gone, 80 we didn’t have any money to get grapes with. Mother said ‘never mind, we would get some money atter a while.’ I saw her go into the other room, an’ when I watched her, she had her face buried ina pillow, and was prayin’. I comeaway down town’an’ stood aroun’a long time waitin’ to git achance, an’ after awhile, when you wasn’t lookin’, I took @ box an’ ran away with it.” “But why did you bring it back?” the dealer asked. ‘‘Because,” replied the boy, choking down a sob, “when I got home the little girl was dead.” ——— +7 Ladie: hho Are Shaved. From the Trenton Times. “I'm In about as big a hurry as yourself, to- day,” said the barber, as he dabbed the shaving brush in the reporter's mouth while hastily de- scribing the lather line around his chin; “this ismy Chambersburg day.” “What do you mean by your Chambersburg day?” asked the reporter, through the moun- tain of soap. “That's the day Igo out to the borough to shave a certain lady who lives there. O, you needn't be surprised. I shave her every two weeks. Ifshe let her moustache grow it would beat yours. I have one other lady customer. She lives in the fifth ward, and would, but for me, have a growth of fine, soft hair both sides of her face. I shave her every three weeks, The first lady 1s married. The other is not. i keep their names a secret, as they wish me to do. No one outside ot their own family knows that they shave. There are other ladies in Trenton, I suppose, who could cultivate a beard, but { don’t know them. Once when I worked in Phil- ene Thad half a dozen to shave every fort- night.” e Doesn't the shaving make the hair on their faces grow worse than ever?” “I think not. I use water instead of lather, by their request, and while shaving makes the hair stiffer, T don't think it causes it to grow any heavier. One reason that they shave is that they cannot properly powder their faces when growing a beard.” “‘How much do you charge them?” “Twenty cents a shave.” ee A Handsome Woman’s Sad Death, In Philadelphia, early Sunday morning, the body of Mrs, Anna D. Reynolds was found at the foot ot the third-story stairway at her residence, No. 1439 Carmac street. Although she had fallen down stairs there was nothing to show that the fall had killed her, and it is believed that she committed suicide by taking polson. She was seen on Thursday night very much in- toxicated. Mrs. Reynolds was very handsome and well educated, and when sober her conversation was and pleasing. It is suy that poverty and the neglect of her friends drove her to suicide. Her its 22, 1883—-DOUBLE SHEET.

From their | Cater Bette ¥ examination and the evidence of the wounded man whose name was Wachter, it appeared that the latter, who was divorced from his wife, had been living with Katharina Warth. A short time previously Wachter, who had been con- victed of fraudulent bankruptcy, had deserted his mistress, either, as she said, out of caprice or, as he said, because he could not afford to keep her any longer. On this she went to live with Getler, who had also been divorced from lis wife, and over whom she obtained great in- uence, eee a Dobtins Does Ciara B REVENGE.
