Commended by ‘l'lrelv Colonel

Col. Watson has issued the following
general orders to the Fourth regiment
under date of May 10.

The Commandant of this Regiment
wishes hereby to convey to the officers
and men of his command his sincere ap-
preciation of the good work performed
by them while participating in the par-
ade in New York, on April 3lih. in the
commemorative exercises of the Inaugu-
ration of George Washington as first
Prr sident of the United States. He also
drsires to call their attention to General
Orders, No. 10, A. G. 0., dated May 8,
1889, wherein the Commander-in-Chief
expresses his hearty commendation of
the pronlptness and military efliciency
displayed by the Fourth Regiment, '3. N.
G

The criticisms. published in the Army
and Navy Journal, and other New York
papers as emanating from regular army
officers, are of such a character as to
compensate the command for their earth
est efforts to excel in marching and de-
partment while performing this tour of
duty.

The percentage was most creditable.
and the some work was most gratifying
to the regimental Commandant.

While the regiment is not under orders
for the usual May parade, the Colond
desires that the officers and men will en-
deavor as far as possible to qualify as
marksman and sharpshooters, within the
time and under the required conditions.

Two Complaints and Appeals.

The case of James IlcCanly for keep
ing open his saloon on Water street.

Sunday, was tried before Judge Knapp .

yesterday afternoon. It was expected
that City Attorney Light would be pres.
out and conduct the prosecution but
Prosecuting agent (lrey stated that in
the morning Mr. Light called on him and
desired that he should conduct the case
as lll‘. Ifr. Light, would be busy to the
afternoon. Mr. they made a motion
that the original complaint be withdrawn
and in its place hr- substituted a Prose-
cuting Agent's complaint charging the
defendant, James McCauly, with keep
ing open his saloon and selling liquor on
Sunday, May 12th.

Captain Russell Frost. who appeared
for the defendant, dumurred on the
ground that the complaints were insulti-
clent, which was overruled by theJudge.
Mr. Frost then up pealod from the judg-
ment of the court and Judge Knapp in
accordance with the statutesasprovrded.
entered a plea of guilty and lined the
prisoner $75.00 on each complaint. An
appeal was taken to the superior court.
J. Donovan went bonds to the sum of
$300 for McCauly's appearance at the
proper time.

One of our oldest citizens, David ll.
GI-dney, passed away early Tuesday
morning in the ninetietlr year of his age.
Born in Rye, N. Y., in early life he went
to reside in Ridgcfield, at times working
in New York city in the Morgan Iron
Works. About forty years ago he came
to South Norwalk and has won the
esteem of the community by his integri-
ty, good judgment, and unassuming
manners; in his cheerful, happy old age,
reaping the benefit of his early pure life.

David 11. (ledney, whose death was
announced in yesterday‘s issue of Tits
Sunrises, is said to have been one of the
oldest Masons in the state, a member of
St. Johns Lodge of the borough. He
willbonuried with Masonic honors at
2 o'clock, ,Friday afternoon, from his
late rI-siderice, No. 4 Bouton avenue.

Judge Lockwood and Lawyer Curtis,
the counsel for Jacob Schools, have come
to the conclusion that Judge l’helps' de-
cisirm granting the condemned man a
new trial and the accompaning order of
the court to Sheriff Clarkson for a stay
of the execution of the sentence make
unnecessary an application to (low. Bulk-
eley for a reprieve in the case. Whether
the action of the Superior Court operated
as an effectual stay in view of the appeal
by the State to the Supreme Court, was
a question about which the lawyers were
for a time doubtful. Judge l’lrelps' stay
of execution, however, is now regarded
as sufficient. Of course, Sheriff Clark-
son will respect and obey the order on-
less some further mandate comes to him
from the Superior and Supreme Court,
and, therefore Is not required to do the
hanging job which was originally ap-
pointed for the 23rd of this month.

To the filo-do of constitutional Prohibi-

tion Amendment in Ounnactlcut.

Our legislature has submitted to the
electors of this state a proposed Prohibi-
tory Amendment to its Constitution.

To persuade a majority of these elec-
tors to approve this amendment by their
ballots is, perhaps, as great and sacred a
work as has ever been given to the
friends of righteousness In this common-
wealth.

lt Is proposed to open the campaign
for the amendment with a Mass Conven-
tion, to be held in the city of Hartford,
on the 29th day of May, 1881), at Unity
Hall, commencing at 11 o'clock a.m.

The undersigned, who represent the
churches and temperance organizations
of the state, do most earnestly urge all
friends of constitutional prohibition to
attend this convention, to confer and
discuss methods for conducting the cam.
paign in behalf of the amendment. It is
to be positively non-partisan, and we do
most sincerely desire that Christians of
all denominations, members of all tem-
perance organizations, and people of all
political faiths may be represented in it.
its sole purpose is to unify and array in
solid phalanx all friends of the amer d-
merit.

It is our earnest wish that there may
be the largest possible attendance of the
friends of the amendment at this con-
vention. Come one. come all, in the
name of God. and for the weal of our
beloved commonwealth. so that we may
inaugurate a united, systematic and en-

DA‘BIYBY'S CIIII' 0|? POLICE.

A Terror to lions “loves and Burglar»

Danbur'y having become a city has at
once provided itself with a chief of
police, Michael J. Keating, who has been
connected with the force since 1876. The
Danbury News says: ”Officer Renting
has made his reputation principally for
success in capturing horse thieves, being
known all over the state in that capac»
ity. Me has made some daring captures
of burglars, but his horse thief captures

 

outnumber all the otherv. Iii-most ‘

noted burglary capture was the South
Kent post office thieves in 1880. One of

the most exciting efforts in his hone sir-L

thief capturu was the making prisoners
of Mix and Freeman, two Hartford horas
thieves, whom he caught in the woods.

At the point of a revolver he made than
men handcuff each other and then
brought them in securely bound. Both
these men got heavy sentences in flartr
ford. Another curious case was the tak—w
ing of Jack Soutbford. This individual
stole a horse, made eleven exchanges the
same day and at night was captured by
Resting."

New York state has slaw which forces
the railroads to abolish car stoves. The
Connecticut law leaves the matter to the
discretion of the railroad commimiouers.
The fact that they have taken no action
in the matter shows the inadvimbillty of
leaving too much discretionary power to
these commutation-New Haven Reg-
later.

There would seem to be law enough
now if the commhioners were dispel-d
