A commotion was caused in this cutti-
liiutiity lust f‘N‘lllflll by the announce-
ment that Ira lt'. (Milieu, master nit-chain
and acolored man named Oey llryan,
were arrested on a serious charge. It
appears that Corliss has been making
a practice of late of stealing car brasses
and giving them to Bryan, who would
take them to the borough and sell them
for old junk.
The insttter became knowri to the
police force and they have been working
up the cast- for several days. Yesterday
Station Agent Raymond bad warrants
issued for thearrestof Corliss and Bryan.
At :lo'clock Bryan was taken to Judge
Knapp‘s olllcs and he confessed the
whole affair. Later iii the afternoon
Corliss was taken to the lockup and
placed in a cell.
Policeman J. K. Cashaw also spenttho
night in the lockup, but he was not. as
many supposed, implicated in the affair.
If any points were to be gained in the
case he was there to “catch on" to them.
Following is the allltlavit made by
llryan,whtch gives the principal features
of the case:

frequently, within the past month, given
me articles consisting of car brasses and
other appurtences, to take to Mr. Pillow,
a junk dealer at Norwulk, and sell tht-m;
that said Corliss has allowed me half of
what I could get for said articles; especi-
ally on the 27th day of February, 1889, I
met said Corliss near Brown's hat fac-
tory in said South Nerwalk. and he to d
me if I would call at a place below the
Railroad depot at 7 o‘clock that evening
I could get some things which he would
put there for me and that I could take
them up to Mr. Fillow and sell them;
that I accordingly went there and got
some car brasaes which CJrliss put there
and that same evening sold them to Mr.
Pillow, receiving payment for the same;
and that on the morning of the 28th day
of February, 1889, Isaw said Corliss and
gave him his part of the receipts from
said car brasses: that I received some
things last week from said Garlic; and
also some the forepart of this week, all
of which I sold to said Pillow, dividing
the profits in each case with said Corliss;
he (Corliss) statt d that be was raising
money t ) buy a watch and further stated
that he was going to takes trip to Wash-

Justice of the Peace.
A crowd of eager spectators gathered
at the police room this morning to listen
to the preliminary hearing. Prosecuting
Attorney Light being out of town the
case was adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. Corliss was placed
under 81,000 bonds and Bryan $50 bonds.
The trial of Corliss will be held in the
superior court and the impression is that
he will get a long sentence in states pris-
on. Bryan his served a term in states
prison. He robbed C. E. Doty’s house a
number of years ago and stolen large
quantity of silverwear.
Base Ball Matters.
A meotinngas to have been held at
the City Hotel last evening to discuss the
project of organizing a base ball associa-
tion in this city, but. owtng to other eu-
gagements, those who are worthy inter-
ested in the movement could not be pre-
sent.
There is no reason to believe that the
matter yrill be dropped because the meet-
ing was not held. South Norwalk will
have the champion club of the state as it
had last year, and no better manager
could be secured than Isaac Hamilton
has proved himself to be during the past
three years.
The Children‘s Friend.
Henry Densmore, the Michigan mis-
sionary. whose letters have entertained
and delighted the scholars of the Con-
gregational Sunday school for a score or
more years, is in the city, accompanied
by his wife. They are guests of Mr. and
Mrs. D. R. Selleck, of Washington street.
Their many friends will be grieved to
learn that Mrs.. Dansmore has been
seriously sick and under the care of a
physician since her arrival here.

The Prohiblfory Amendment. _
A hearing before the joint committee
on constitutional amendments took place
in the hall of representatives, Hartford,
Wednesday, at '2 o'clock.
The prohibitory amendment nndrrdie
cussion was proposed in 1857, and this
year comes before the general assembly

ed by a two-thirds vote it goes to the
people for a popular vote.

net player made in the bugle call. I
laughed and said nothing, and later in
the day I heard the some thing again, so
I concluded to inform the readers of the
SENTINIL of the truth of the can. The
bugle call was nothing more than a fish
call, which was part of the play. I am
sorry. to know that there arsso many
people in this town whose knowledge of
music is so limited that they cannot tell

went to Bothel. From there they drove
four miles in carriages to the camp. A
few ladies were in the party, but the
majority were senators and represents—

by Representatives Sanford and Miller
of Bedding. They inspected the ground
for about half an hour and then adjom»

l'airlield. These applications were all
heard by the railroad commissioners to-
gether and disposed of in one order.
The town, feeling aggrieved by the man.
net in which the changes were ordered
to be made and by tho masment of
some twelve thousand dollars, imposed
upon the town towards the expense of
making them. appealed to the superior
court. The case was tried in that court
before Judge Torrance, who changed the
order of th, commissioners in many par-
flf’llll' and especially in that he order.

line of the highways in question cros-
ses the track a short distance west of the
Southport depot. Immediawa opposite
this depot another highway comes down
to the north side of the track and skirt.
ing it fora few rods diverges towards
the north again. Where this highway
adjoins the track a crossing exists by
which access is obtained from it to the
depot grounds on the south side and
thence to the village. This crossing was
claimed by the combsny to be a trespas-
crnseing existing by its suflranco that
passengers might reach the depot from
the northern highway. '
Judge Torrance, following the order
of the railroad commissioners with res-
.pr‘c: to the highways just mentioned,
directed the crossing west of the depot
to he closed and tho “trespass crossing"
to be closed also and the highway which
crossed next to the depot and the high-
way which came down to the track 0;-
posite the depot to be brought together
north of the track and carried under at a
point between the two original crossings
from which point access could be still
‘ readily bad to the station.
From this order the town appealed to
the supreme court, claiming that the
order as made virtually obliged the town
to give up an old highway crossing and
take a longer road in order that the 'rail-
road company might be saved the ex-
pense of making two crossings, and of
which it was obliged by law to make en-
tirely at its own expense as an approach
to its depot from a neighboring high-
way. In other words, the order requir-
rd the town to contribute of its conven-
ience towards lightening the solo burden
of the company.
The railroad company also appealed
from so much of the order as required it
to pay the whole expense of changing ’—
all the crossing», claiming that the
statute contemplated a sharing of the
burden by the town to some extent, and
that the towns had been held to be in
part responsible for the grade crossing
. nuisance.
The supreme court has now deided
both appeals in favor of the town. This
decision is believed to mean that a high—
way erasing which can he made safe
where it may not be closed and shifted
to a neighboring point simply to save
the railroad company expense, and that
whore danger at the crouing is caused
by increased frequency and speed of
trains, and is about to be still further
augmented by additional tracks in the
near future. a judge it clearly right in
holding that the company should re-
move the danger at its own unaided
expense.
Walled Twenty-five fears for Ills Bride.
Miss Kat-e Burroughs-rid Frederick M.
Perry were married at Bridgeport, Wed-
nesday night, after s courtship of over
twentyofive years. The bride was the
daughter of the late George Burroughs,
who died twenty years ago. He imag-
ined that Mr. Pary desired his daugh-
ter's hand because of her fortune, and
leftaprovisouin his will whereby his
daughter should forfeit her portion of
the estate should she marry Mr. Perry.
About a year ago the bride’s mother died.
Since then the estate has been divided,
the bride receiving her third-of her fath-
er‘s piste out and out. This enabled
her to marry her oldvtiins lover.
