R. Lambert, wife of the man murdered at Wilton, last De- cember, went to Bridgeport yesterday and was taken to the County jail. Several others also visited the jail during the day, for the purpose of identifying, if possible, the men who are charged with the terrible crime. Willis and Brockhaus were brought out with a number of other prisoners and the visitors asked to pick them out. How many there were who succeeded in identifying them is not known, as the officials are keeping the matter quiet. Among those who failed to rec-I ognize them was “Art” Slauson, con- ductor on the N orwalk Street Railroad. On the day of the murder two men boarded Slauson’s car on Railroad square, South Norwalk, and inquired if the car went to Winnipauk. Upon be- ing informed in the negative, they got off and waited for a VVinnipauk car. These men are-supposed to have been Willis and Brockhaus, but Conductor Slauson could not identify them yes- terday. The next car going to ‘Winnipauk was in charge of Conductor Bucknam, and it was upon this car that the sus- pect-s rode, to the end of the line on the 'Wilton road. Conductor Bucknam has seen both men at .the Bridgeport jail and, it is said, fully identified them and that his testimony will be most im- portant both before the grand jury and at the trial. Mrs. Lambert saw both men yester- day and heard them speak, it is said. Just how positive she was of the men is not known. Still it is understood that she recognized the voice of Willis and his companion as well. This statement however, is not authoritive and may be untrue, although the portion relating to Willis is undoubtedly so. It will be remembered that Mrs. Lambert claimed to have recognized \Villis by the utterance of a peculiar oath. She has been positive of this from first to last. She' heard the voice of the other man, but has never been positive of being able to recognize it. It is understood, however, that the state will depend but little upon Mrs. Lam- bert. They have other and direct cir- cumstantial evidence, which cannot fail of conviction. The search for the evidence has not been discontinued. Detectives are still unearthing more of the story daily. The officials are very reticent regard— ing the matter. This is due to the fact that during the Boinay and Weeks case too much was given out. It was thought that a leak existed, and so this time double precautions were tak- cn against information getting out. New York witnesses will probably fig- ure deeply in the matter. AA; Conference at Bowayton. A conference was held under the, auspices of the Connecticut Sunday- school association last evening, at Row- ayton. The meeting began at 7 o’clock with Scripture and prayer by Rev. C. H. Hand. Miss Lucy G. Stock, State primary superintendent spoke on “How I prepare my Sunday-school lesson,” followed by an outline of next Sunday’s lesson. At 7:45 an address “The chil- dren of our state” was given by Mrs. Mary T. Sheffield, field worker, State Sunday-school association. Rev. H.A. Davenport of the Presbyterian church, Bridgeport, addressed the meeting on “Our Aim,” and at 8:50 the benedic- tion was pronounced by Rev. Robert J. Beach. A delegation from Stamford was present.- -v_ 4- Anniversary Night. The Get-mania Seengerbund last night celebrated theanniversary of the organization of the society. There was sweet music, refreshments and plenty otall that goes to make such occasions HONOR SLPMRIOK. The Catholic Club Gives a Fine Entertainment of Oratory and Song. Attorney Walsh Spoke Upon the True Spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. I A large audience assembled at the Opera House, last evening, to witness the entertainment given under the auspices of the Catholic club, celebrat- ing the birth of Ireland’s patron, St Patrick. , The stage was beautifully decorated with palms and American and Irish flags and a fine program, consisting of oratory and song was rendered. The program opened with the play- ing of “Old Irish Airs,” on the piano, by Prof. E. F. Hands, closely followed by a vocal quartet composed of Messrs- Force, Ambler, Wehle and Morehouse, in “Come Back to Erin.” Miss Clara Winters, as the harpist, came next and responded to an encore. A song entitled “Killarney,” by Mrs. William J. Tracey was next on the pro- gram, and an encore called for “St. Patrick’s Day.” Mrs. Tracey received a beautiful bouquet of red roses. “The Minstrel Boy” and “My Beau- tiful Irish Maid,” by Mr. John Wehle followed, which were loudly applauded. Miss Alice May Sherwood’s splendid voice was heard in “Irish Folk Song” and “Dreams.” Miss Sherwood was recipient of a handsome bouquet of white roses. Mr. Harry Pepper came next, whose sweet tenor voice entertained the audi- ence in three selected ballads, at the conclusion of which, he was greeted with a tremendous encore, but he, however, failed to respond. An oration by Mr. John, J. Walsh followed, entitled “The True Spirit of the Day.” Mr. Walsh handled his subject in an able and thorough man- ner and entertained the audience with a rousing and patriotic address on the work of St. Patrick and the Irish peo- ple and at the close of his remarks he was greeted with shouts of applause. “The Last Rose of Summer" and “Believe Me” was finely rendered by Miss Clara Winters on the harp, who was followed by Mrs. William J. Tracey in “Kathleen Mavourneen. ” Miss Alice May Sherwood again de- lighted the audience with “When Thou Art Near Me” and the program ended with the singing of “Good Night” by a male quartet. The entertainment was of a high or- der and was greatly enjoyed by all present, as well as being a great suc- cess, socially and financially to the members of the club. ~—<o-o>- AMUSEMENTS.

' 4 ‘A‘ ‘7' —Advortlso in (run GAZETTE THE" HllN__L_0_N use; Judge Gregory Says the Facts Have Been. Illegally Sup- pressed. His Honor Firmly Convinced that Young Reynolds’ Testimony was False. After the GAZETTE’S ‘report in the the trial of Dan Hanlon closed yester- day, young Reynolds who is employed by Hanlon Bros, was placed upon the stand by the state. Reynolds swore that Dan was perfect- ly sober on the day of the assault. He was in the packing room and heard a voice calling for the police. He went to the office door and saw Dan on the floor with Will on stop of him holding him down. He then walked down stairs and seeing young Degan running up the street for a policeman he went to work and paid no more attention to the fight. He did not recognize the voice calling for the police, nor no amount of questioning could bring out further facts. Clerk of the court, Fred Hill testified to assisting officer Morehouse in put- ting Dan behind the bars. He smelled liquor at the time but could not say from whom the fumes eminated. Dr. A.‘ H. Baldwin testified to treat- ing Dan’s wounds. He also gave it as his opinion Dan was drunk, but upon cross-examination said that Dan’s con- dition when he attended him might have. arisen from the blow from the officer’s club. This closed the testimony for the state, and the defense called L. L. Sherwood who testified to meeting Dan ' on the day of theassault between 5 and 5:30 o’clock. Dan was sober and talked with him about a hat. He next saw'Dan in the custody of oflicer More- house goi mite! the station house. Could not say whether Dan was drunk then or not. Did not see him stagger. Mr. Sherwood’s testimony was knock- ed out by the next witness for the de- fence, George Hussey, who testified that he and Dan left Goldschmidt’s where they had some beer at 5:10 and did not leave him until 5:15 o’clock when they parted at the corner of Smith street, Dan going over to the Hanlon Bros. factory. As Dan did not leave the factory until brought out by Officer Morehouse short- ly before 6 o’clock, there is quite a dis- crepancy between Mr. Sherwood’s and Hussey’s testimony. The defense had no more witnesses and Prosecuting Attorney Ferris ad- dressed thc court and asked ft-r a con- viction. Attorney Lockwood made a lengthy address for the defense, and in closing took occasiOn to disclaim to the court all knowledge prior to the beginning of the trial of the peculiar position into which the case had been placed by the witness for the state. Judge Gregory adjourned the case until this alternoon at 2 o’clock, and took occasion to remark that the case was in an astonishing position. He believed that the facts had been" ille- gally suppressed, and was fully con- vinced that the story of young Rey- nolds was highly improbable and falsd. He advised the Prosecuting Attorney to endeavor to obtain evidence to sub— stantiate the fal§ity of Degan’s and Reynold’s testimony and prosecute them. He also requested Attorney Lockwood to assist in bringing out the true facts. . From Judge Gregory’s remarks it was apparent that he was fully satisfied that the witnesses for the state, chan and Reynolds, had been tampered with and testified falsely upon the stand. No defense was made for Dan’s as- sault uprn Officer Morehouse, and ten- tence will probably be given at this af- ternoon’s session. 4 A-.. ‘ - Death of H. E; Sclinell.

DIE. A Well Known Hat Trimmer Takes a Dose of Laudanum. The Poison is Pumped Out and She is Liable to Recover. Mrs. Mortimer Iieusted, employed in the Yolk Hat manufactory in South Norwalk, attempted to commit suicide this morning by taking a dose of laud- anum. . She was found suffering in the cloak room at the factory by one of the em- ployees, and confessed to having taken a quantity of laudanum. Dr. Charles G. Bohannan was summoned and by prompt measures saved the life of the would -be suicide, and she was later taken to her home. Mrs. Hensted is husband has been in China for the married and her past year. According to report their wedded life was not a bed of roses. Any way the husband, so to speak, “deserted” his wife. It is stated that Mrs. Hensted became enamored of a man named W’oodrutf, and that she met him last night, and that they had a quarrel. This fact it is believed led up to her act of this morning. No doubt but for the timely discovery of her condition her rashness would have resulted in her death. ~ The affair created more than a rip- ple of excitement among her fellow trimmers and has been fully discussed by them during the day. « RAILROAD WBECK. Coupling Pin Broke as Train Was Passing Dver Cos Cob Bridge. A railroad wreck'occurred at the Cos Cob railroad bridge: yesterday morning about 8:30 o’clock.

A letter from Naples announces the safe arrival in that city of Rev. and Mrs. F. W. Norris of South Norwalk, after a very rough voyage in which both experienced considerable seasick- ness. The steamship Fulda in which they sailed, was two days overdue at Naples and experienced numerous gales that at one time threatened to wreck her. To add to the. unpleasantncss of the trip, a port hole was care- lessly left open and a quantity of bag- gage belonging to the. passengers was ruined. Birthday Celebration. \Y. Dufl‘ Smith hugs himself with an appreciable amount of delight by rea- son of the fact that he has but a few months more to live before he will be 88 years of ago. Mr. Smith claims to be as active in the way of manual labor as the ordinary boy, and he certainly has a right to feel proud of his claim. and his friends will hope that he may long continue in his wonted good health. ‘ W Not So Bay. A man named'Fcrris Gay, fitting in Wilton, was fined $5 in the Town Court this morning, but was paroled for one week in which to collect and pay the amount of the fine. Gay was found in a stupid condition last night in his wagon, with the horse wandering aim- lessly about near the Methodist church. He was taken to the station-house by officer Morehouse and the horse was provided for at Banks’ livery stable. Didn’t Appreciate Her Home. Jessie, a daughter of Frank Sher- wood, who was some time since sent to the County Home, and later placed in the employ of a family near Hart- ford, has been brought back to Nor- walk, and owing to her actions she will probably be placed in the Connecticut Industrial school for girls.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN, BY ONE OF THEM. Bad ventilation deforms more chil- dren and destroys more health than accident or plague. Baby should nev- er be put to sleep in bed or perambu- later with the head under the bed- clothing, to inhale the air already breathed and further contaminated by exhalations from the skin. “You are smothering the life out of your child’s lungs,” an anxious mother was told not long ago. “How would you like to drink the water you wash in ? Well, when you cover your baby’s head up, you force him to use air that is just as bad and just as impure.” Never frighten your little ones into obedience with foolish threats. Many a timid, shrinking and cowardly man has to thank the experience of his nursery days for this defect in his con- stitution. It is wicked and cruel to tell a child that if he is naughty the black man will take him away, or some- thing equally terrifying, as foolish nurses and careless mothers have learnt to their cost. Small wonder if the child, whose susceptible mind has been tainted with stories of the supernatural, grows up a helpless, cowardly specimen of human- ity, unfit to fight the battle of life. Let the wife have her way in all small things, the husband in all the great ones. It was a wise man who said that. Trifles do far more in making up the sum of a woman’s happiness than men have any idea of; and if a woman is al' lowed her own way in petty niggling details which a man doesn’t trouble his head about, she will resign all the larger issues into his hands with per- fect satisfaction. ' Besides, it ”is a sensible rule all around. When a man begins to med- dle with small affairs—little domestic arrangements, insignificant things of that sort—good bye to household peace. There is no such terrible destroyer of harmony as the man who wants things according to his own ideas in the house and in its economies. M fiaty‘éé (f’gg‘tw. ————_—“.>— Spring Styles.

It is seldom that one has the oppor~ tunity of congratulating a person on having reached the 93d anniversary of their birth, but such privilege was ac- corded a number of people yesterday afternoon. The person to receive the congratu- lations was Mrs. Jane S. Bulkley, re- lict of William Bulkley, who lives with her daughter. Mrs. Mary E. Wilson at No. 41 Orchard street. The old lady is in the best of health and remarkably active for one of her years. ' She received the many guests, both old and young, who called upon her, in a cordial manner. The known fact that she was a great lover of flowers did n0t escape the memory of her friends and she was in receipt of several magnificent bunches of flowers, as well as other presents. To the little tots who called upon her she was especially agreeable, and it will be many a day, if ever, they for- get the good old lady. It was a memorable event for Mrs. Bulkley and her many friends. ——<OOO>————— Hibernians Celebrate. The local council of Hibernians met last night and paid their respects to the memory of St. Patrick.
