New York’s Horse Show Week.
A taste for fine horses is expensive,
and the people who cultivate it are for
the most” part rich people. Being rich
they are incidentally people of fashion,
and they form the nucleus of the crowd
which gathers once a year at Madison
Square Garden, New York City, com-
ing from all parts of the country for
the purpose of seeing and being seen.
Probably no city in the United States
has the perpetual show of horses that
can be found in New York City, and
the ability to recognize a good horse
on the street is a qualification that
pays for itself in momentary enter-
tainment a dozen times a day. Horse-

rlovers gather at Madison Square Gar-
den, and if they are attentive and per-
severing, they can hardly help learning
something, and if they learn how many
different sorts of good horses there are,
and by what points each sort is known
their accomplishment will thoroughly
repay them for the trouble.
There is a certain breeziness in the
atmosphere about New York during
horse-show week which seems to an-
nounce to everybody that this particu-
lar week is given up to the horses.
Madison Square Garden is crowded
both day and night with enthusiastic
admirers, and the equine thorough-
bred, appreciating the admiration,

gallops and paces proudly aroundzthe
tanbark. Our picture taken from Har-
per’s Weekly shows a four-in-hand be-
fore the judges. When the evening’s
entertainment is over, the crowd ad-
journs to Delmonico’s, Sherry ’s, or the
Waldorf, and there, seated around
small tables, they laugh, talk, par-
take of refreshments, and enjoy the
hospitality of these great and famous
hostelries. The show, which begins on
Monday, usually lasts six days, and it
is a great show, edifying to the horse-
lover, the anthropologist, and? the phil-
osopher, and it is a show not to be
neglected by any one interested in
horses.
Lounsbury’s Stall”.
BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 22.-—The an-
nouncement of the staff of Governor"
Elect George E. Lounsbury is antici-
pated within a for: weeks, and the
political world is already forming and
reformingasuitable staff for the in-
coming administration. ‘
It Will not be surprising if Brigadier
General Russell Frost, of Norwalk, is
named as the next adjutant-general to
succeed Adjutant-general George Ha-
ven, of New London. The present in—
cumbent, it is understood, has reasons
for believing he should be again hon-~
ored. He has, however, a formidable
rival for the place in his own city, for-
mer Col. Tubhs of the Third regiment.
Another hero of the late Col.
Charles L. Burdette, of Hartford, it is
rumored, would not be averse to taking
the place.
Despite the many who are willing
and qualified, the choice of the gover-
nor is likely to fall upon the Norwalk
man, so it is said. For more reasons
than one, Brigadier-General Frost is
picked as the man who ,will step into
war,
the shoes of Adjutant-Geneyal Haven, ,
who was Frost’s predecessor as Briga-
dier-General.
Next in line of importance on the
governor’s staff is Quartermaster Gen-.
eral, the office now occupied by Gen.‘.
L: N. Van Keuren of this city. No
one has been more prominently men-
tioned for this appointment than Fred.
erick Hollister Stevens, business man-
ager of the Standard association.
But Governor-Elect Lounsbury has
other things to ponsider, and in event
of the appointment of Gen. .Frost to
the Adjutsnt-Generelship, Mr. Stevens
have to relinquish any fond hopes they
may have. The Quartermaster-General
would come from another section of the
state, and it is, therefore, not at all un-
likely that Col. John B. Doherty of
Waterbury, or Lieut. Col. Thompson of
New Britain might be selected.
For Commissary-general, Albert P.
Day, of Hartford, the present incum-
there is another man whose friends are
legion, and there is a movement to se—
cure his appointment. He is Mayor L.
H. Fuller, of Putnam, aid on Gen.
Frost’s stall.
One of the principal names mentioned
for the Surgeon-generalship is that of
Dr. Wilbur S. Watson of Danbury,
the present medical director on Brig-
adier General Frost’s staff, and espec-
ially well knowu among Fourth regil-
ment men. Another is Dr. F. G.
Graves, of Waterbury, assistant sur-
geon of the Second regiment, and a
third is Thomas F. Rockwell, of Rock-
ville, of the First.
There are several strong aspirants for
i the position of Paymaster General, now
held by George E. Kenney of Somers-
ville, and none is better known than
former Senator Benjamin F. Lee of
New London. Mr. Lee was a member
of the Senate with the incoming gov-
ernor’. Another man mentioned is
former senator George M. Harrington,
of Willimantic, who has some consid-
erable military experience.
The friends ofFrederick L.‘ Averill of
New Haven, are urging his appoint-
ment as paymaster general.
The last of the principals in the gov-
ernor’s family is the Judge advocate
. general. The present incumbent 'is
and all other Fairfield county men will l John F. Carpenter, of Putnam, but it is
Y
\i
bent, is not beyond consideration. But ‘
safe to assert that he will not remain.
Judge George H. Cowell, of Water-
bury, is considered a strong candidate
for this appointmens.
Still another candidate is Edward M.
Day, of Colchester, who like Judge
Cowell was a member of the Judiciary
committee in the last legislature.
In Waterbury there is- a desire to
have Col. Lucien F. Burpee of the Sec-
ond Regiment recognized upon his re-
turn from the seat of war.
‘
A few months since the wife of Sam-
uel T. Ruby died at her home on Cross
street, since which time or rather up to
within about a week, the management
of the household affairs has devolved
upon a young daughter of Mr. Ruby,
who, recognizing the fact that it was
rather more work than she ought to be
called upon to do, coupled with the fact
that there were two grand-children to
care for, decided to secure a house-
keeper.
He, a few days since, found one well
recommended in the person of Mrs.
Elizabeth Masters of Long Island, and
so well pleased was he with her, on
even so short an acquaintance, he
popped the question and the widow was
willing to and did say yes.
'1 Saturday evening, Mr. Ruby and
Mrs. Masters, in company with the
farmer’s son and wife drove to the
Methodist parsonage and were united
in marriage by Rev. F. A. Scofield.
Yesterday, in a carriage, they drove to
the several homes of their relatives in
town, and in every instance received
hearty congratulations.

Mrs. Frederick Starr was the victim
of a surprise party at her home on Bay-
view avenue, Monday evening. About
thirty of her friends were present. it";
being the anniversary of her birthday,
and a pleasant evening ensued.
Dr. Nancy in Jail.
In charge of Detective Cronan and
Matron H111, Dr. Nancy Guilford ar-
rived in New York Saturday morning,
0n the Cunard line steamship Lucania.
Sherifl' Hawley and Pinkerton Detec-
ive Hunsdorfer were on the deck wait-V
ing for the noted prisoner who led the
police the fastest chase on record. She
was registered on the passengers’ list
as Mrs. N. Brown, thereby avoiding
much unpleasant notoriety. Her cor-
rect identity was known to but very
few persons aboard the vessel. The
trip was accomplished without the
slightest trouble from the prisoner,
who suffered greatly from seasickness.
Nearly two hours were consumed in
having the baggage examined in New
York and transferred to the train.
About 100 people were in waiting at
the depot in Bridgeport when Mrs..
Guilforid arrived on the 2:20 train. She
looked well but there was unmistakable
evidence of worry upon her matronly
countenance. Without any delay she
was placed in a hack and driven to the .
county jail. Sheriff Hawley had the
poor debtor’s room all ready for her
reception and after being comfortably
installed in quarters which she will
occupy until next February, she was
left to herself.
see her and orders to that effect were
left by the sherilf with his assistants.
The prisoner spent a quiet day Sun-
day. She enjoyed a good night’s sleep
but complained of feeling ill from the

sea trip. ,
Dr. Nancy’s cell was the scene of a
touching incident Sunday afternoon.
In compliance wit-h an urgent request
from Mrs. Guilford she was allowed to
be visited by Harry Guilford, who also
awaits trial for complicity in the death
of Emma Gill. The meeting. between
mother and son behind iron bars was a
sad one. The young man embraced his
parent and after-inquiring as to her
health and how she had been treated,
the conversation drifted to family mat-
ters. Sheriff Hawley was present and
did not allow them to talk alone, con-
sequently it is needless to add that no
mention of the crime for which they
are held was made.
Eudora Guilford, her daughter, is out
of town visiting friends and is not
expected home until today or to-
morrow. Mrs. Guilford is very anxious
to see her daughter. The case will not
be tried until the February term of the
Superior court.

Electric Clubs.
At the special meeting of the Nor-
walk City Council, held last Friday
evening, it was voted to purchase elec-
tric clubs for the police department.
This latest novelty in electricity is a
flash light which may be carried in the
hand, pocket or anywhere, and be
flashed at will, and has a great number
of possible uses. \
It is made in the shape of a roll,
leather covered, about eight or ten
inches long and an inch and a half in
diameter. In one end is a dry battery,
and in the other end is a small incan-
descent light globe. The end of the
instrument is closed by a thick glass
like that in a dark lantern.
The battery is supposed to contain
power for 12,000 flashes or will burn
continuously for ten hours.
The policeman can flash a light with
the effort. It
be very valuable in entering a building
when there was a suspicion of escaping
least possible will
gas, for it cannot be set afire or explod-
ed by this light. It is called the Ever
Ready Safety Pocket Light. .
Amateur photographers would find
it a most handy article, if fitted with a
ruby colored glass, instead of the plain
glass, to use in a dark room.

On Wednesday evening, November
16th, at 8 o’clock, at St. Luke’s Roman
Catholic church, One Hundred and
Thirty-seventh street and St. Anne’s
avenue, Miss Katie V. Warren, (laugh-
ter of Thomas Warren, of South
Norwadk, was married to William J.
Hurdley, of New York. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Father Farrelly.
A reception was held at the elegantly
furnished home of the bride and groom
228 west One‘ Hundred and Forty?
fourth street. The bride was attired
in white silk and wore diamonds, the
gift of the groom, and carried white
roses. The bridesmaid was Miss
Maggie McEntee, a cousin of the bride
who wore‘lavender silk, with elegant
trimmings, and who carried white
roses.

Bells Attached.
BRIDGEPORT, N ov. 22.—The chimes
which' were sent to this country by the
czar of Russia to the local Russian
church, were placed under attachment
yesterday, in a. suit brought by Charles
H. Hawley, of this city against the Holy
Ghost Russian Orthodox Greek Catho-
lic society and ecclesiastical corpora-
tion, which is the legal name of the
Russian-Greek church located at the
corner of Jane and Hallett streets. The
action is brought to recover 83,000. on a
note given the plaintiff by George
Cservenyah, Michael Krafisik and
George Katreniss, as trustees of the
church. The note was indorsed by.
Michael Makara and John Robstock,
members of the church, and was given
on Feb. 17 of the present year.
The sheriff not only attached the
property owned by the church, but also
placed an attachment upon the chimes
which the church received from Rus-
sia. A keeper has been placed in
charge of the bells and they will re-
main in his keeping» until the claim is
settled, or a suitable bond given. The
bells were brought to this country a
year ago, and through the efforts of
Congressman Hill, a special act was
passed in congress admitting them to
this country free of duty. They were
removed from the bonded warehouse
and placed on the main floor of the
church. There they have since re-
mained because the church has no tow-
er in which they could be suspended.
The members of the church or the
neighbors have never yet heard their
sweet tones. The church society was
waiting until it could erect a belfry
for them. Now they will be held in
restraint until the suit is settled. If
they are not redeemed, they may be
sold at auction, but it is probable that
the suit will be settled and the chimes
restored to the custody of the church.
SOUTHINGTON, Nov. 22.——The arrival
of Dr. Nancy Guilford in this country,
as reported Saturday, has caused Harry
Gill, the father of Emma Gill, Dr.
Nancy’s supposed victim, to inquire
about the chances of his being allowed
to meet the noted doctress.
He says that since Dr. Guilford’s ar-
rival he has' had a strong desire to
meet her, that he might satisfy himself
as to some things pertaining to h
daughter’s last days.
Mr. Gill has relatives in Bridgeport,
and will go there for a two or three
days’ visit, hoping that he may be per-
mitted to talk with her, who alone can
tell him of his daughter. Emma’s last
days.
Mr. Gill’s desire to meet Dr. Nancy
is. not that natural to most outraged
fathers. He has always enjoyed the
respect of his fellow men and since
the news of his daughter’s terrible end
reached him he has carried himself
.in such a manner as not only to gain
the sympathy of all, but their respect
as well.
Mr. Gill will request State’sAttorney
Fessenden for permission to meet Dr.
Nancy, should Sheriff Hawley refuse.
