The entertainment given by the “King’s Sons” at the Congregational chapel last evening, was a most en- joyable occasion and in spite of un- pleasant weather, the roOm was well filled. Mr. Paulison of- New York “Original Imitation Songs,” “Humor- .ous Sketches”tand recitals were admir- ably given, causing no end of merri- ment on the part of his audience, 'who were ready to pronounce him a decid- ed “success,” ‘while the selections played on the harmonica were such as showed Mr. Paulison master of this instrument and its capabilties for sweet and pleasing music established beyond a doubt. The Misses Wixon played a “Piano Duet” that was much enjoyed, and Mr. John Treadwell sang a song of rare sweetness, which so delighted all who heard that a repetition would have been most gratifying. The entertain~ ment closed with the selection “Home, Sweet Home,” given by Mr. Paulison on the harmonica and was most de- lightfully rendered. Surely,the‘ ‘King’s Sons” have reason to feel much grati- fied with the success of their first en- tertainment, and we hope at some future time to have this pleasant oc- casion repeated. ‘ proved “a host in himself” and his‘ BROAD RIVER.

A bill was introduced by Represen- tative Judson in the House yesterday. It provides for a speedy tion disputes as may arise. By the terms of this bill such disputes are to be brought to the notice of a Judge of the Superior Court on or before the 5th day of December after the election, and the Judge must hear and deter- mine the case on or before December 22d. An immediate appeal to the Su- prefie Court is provided for, and this Court must attend to the matter on Or before the first Monday in January. The judgment is then to be laid before the General Assembly on the first day Of the ‘session, and is to be binding on the General Assembly. The present masterly inactivity in the Legislature is a constant reminder of the necessity of a statute which will prove a settler for election disputes, and it is hoped the Judson measure, or something similar to it, will become a law. _.____<*, _ --_ MRS.

Although this bright little woman is pro-eminently a queen in social circles and much beloved at her own fireside, no one ever heard of her putting her pen to paper for publication until now. Her first literary venture is a surprise to everybody. To say nothing of the sentiments expressed,——which are of the noblest—her literary style has a finish which it seems almost incredible can be acquired for any writer’s first attempt. Mrs. Barnum alludes to the “moths” of jealousy, of dissension, of the “third person” at the table and the fireside, and a few other moths. And then she proceeds to give her sister women just the most sensible advice imaginable as to how to banish these moths. Mrs. Barnum herself is a happy wife, though only half her husband’s age. , ~-<+>——- -_ ,_.___ A new monthly magazine, on the ba- in Bridgeport.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 3d, ’91 DEAR GAZETTE: v , _ Before this shall reach the eyes of the DAILY GAZETTE’s hosts of readers the 51st Congress will have become a thing of the past. To-day all is bustle and hurry about the Capitol. The lob- bies are jammed with hurrying report- ers," attorneys, lobbyists and clients interested in bills doomed to, fail, while the poor, overworked enrolling clerks are swamped with appropriation bills of enormous size, and everything is strained to its utmost tension in order to effect 'a safe,‘ ereditable end up of this Congress, which terminates at noon to-morrow by constitutional limitation. The House sat till 1 o’clock a. Pm. and then adjourned. to 10 this forenoon. ' The Senate continued in session till 2 a. m. and then took a re- cess to 9.30 this morning. ' ' , FRENCH SPOLIATION. The most important change made by the Senate‘committee in the General Deficiency appropriation bill, passed to-day, was the addition of the French spoliation claims, carrying an appro- priation of $1,304,095, with a proviso that, in case of the bankruptcy of the original sufi'erers, the awards .shall be made on behalf of the next of kin, instead of the assignees. . ‘ .

Monday’s GAZETTE contained a little story respecting a change of station succeeding George U. Hamilton. It was also stated that the latter was be- lieved to be short in his accounts with the Company. To-day we are enabled to add a chapter to Hamilton’s history which may be but a prelude to quite a storm, . In settling his accounts with the Danbury & Norwalk division of the Housatonic system, Hamilton gave a check to the Auditor for $15.17. It was drawn on the First National Bank of South Norwalk, bore the signature of Joseph C. Randle, Winnipauk’spost- master, and was made payable to Ham- ilton’s order. When presented at the bank for payment the check was pro- tested, Mr. Randle having no account with the bank and having,_ of course, no funds there to his credit, his bank- ing business being done with the Cen- tral National Bank of Norwalk. This state of affairs led to an investi- gation and to Mr. Randle’s declaration that the check was a forgery. The railroad people, being the sufl'ercrs, are in pursuit of Hamilton and hope to have him at the bar of justice to ans- wer for his misdeed. MORE FORGED PAPER. At a late hour this morning the GA- ZETTE obtained the details of other criminal performances by Hamilton which indicate beyond a doubt that he did not leave the scene of his labors any too soon. In addition to the- for- gery of Mr. Randle’s name it trans- pires that he obtained funds on checks bearing the forged signatures of F. A. Young, messenger of the United States Express Company,» and Baggage Mas- ter Griffin, of the Danbury & Norwalk road. Hamilton also endeavored to get possession of a C. O. D. express package consigned to Comstock Broth- ers. But even the foregoing was not the extent of his rascalities by any means. It‘is known that the day after his dis- charge by the Railroad Company he went tO the Winnipauk mills and col- lected freight bills aggregating fifty or sixty dollars. It is quite probable that the list herewith given will be added to, as Hamilton seems to have gone in upon the principle that he might as well die for a sheep as for a lamb. Two packages addressed to Hamilton at East Manayunk,Pa., are at the ex- press office at South Norwalk. 'If the delinquent has deliberately turned his face toward the land of Penn his ca- reer of crime may be cut short. If he knows when he is well off, however, he will tarry in New York State, the Rogues’ Refuge, “till his beard be grown.” T0 CONNECTICUT LAW-BREAKERS.

Specially Sent Over the 'll'ire to the Daily - N orwalk - Gazette. Washington, March 4.—Both the Senate and House were in session all night. All of the appropriation bills, including the Deficiency bill, with the French Spoliation Amendment, were passed. The usual resolution of thanks to the Speaker, was passed by a strict party vote, Speaker Reed making cor- dial acknowledgment. New Milford, Connz, March 4.—John May and Mrs Charles A. Seclcy, of Torrington, were arrested Monday on a charge of adultery. The couple ran away from the town of Burrville last May and have been living in New Mil- ford ever since. Their whereabouts were unknown until about three weeks ago. They were given a hearing yes- terday before Justice Levy, and bound over to the next term of the Superior court at New Milford. Not being able to furnish bonds, the prisoners togeth- er with a child, were taken to the Litchfield jail. , Danbury, March 4-.—Mr. Dennison, one of the oldest and most respectable residents of the town of Bedding, was thrown from a load of hay yesterday, and sustained injuries which caused his death in a few hem-i. A Very thstePious Afl'air. WILMINGTON, Del., March 4.—Securitics ' to the aniount of $589,150, Owned by the state of Delaware, are. lost, and no one knows how or when they disappeared. State Treasurer Wilbur H, Burnite expect- ed to receive them from (ex-State Treas- urer \Villiam Herbert, but Mr. Herbert and his son, Frank E. Herbert, who was his father’s assistant and bookkeeper, de- clare that the securities in question were never in their possession. The lost certifi- cates were supposed to be in a box kept On deposit in the Farmers’ bank at Dover. This box was removed from the bank by Mr. Herbert during his incumbency, and when examined by his successor, Treas- urer Burnitc, was found to be empty. So far as can be learned the contents of the box were last inspected by Governor Rey- nolds, when he became state‘treasurer twelve years ago. The securities were there then. The legislature will investi- gate. Sunk by a Ferryboat. , NEW YORK, March 4,—The big ferryboat Bergen, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and \Vesternwrailroad, while making her way from Hoboken to this city Tuesday morn- iu g, crashed into the schooner Buena Vista, of Red Bank, N. J .. which was making her way down the river near the Jersey shore. The Bergen, which is one of the few screw ferryboats in the service, was under nearly full headway at the time, and the force of the collision almost capsized the sailing craft, which was beating down the rivei against a heavy tide. As the steamer backed away the schooner righted, but set- tled and sank immediately. The three men on board of her were rescued by the ferryboat and landed in Hoboken. Chief Hennessy’s Assassins. NEW ORLEANS, March 4.—Manuel Politz, one of the men who has been identified as doing the actual shooting in Chief Hen- nessy’s assassination, has turned state’s . evidence and made a confession. The con- fession was made to judge and counsel in private. He is said to have Claimed that he was not present at the shooting, but knew of the conspiracy and the canses‘that led to it. The men who did the shooting were only hired tools, the real leaders and instigators not appearing on the scene. Politz is confined in a. separate part of the prison at his own request. Clark Mfills’ Strikers Hopeful. NEWARK, March 4.—The strikers in the Clark thread works are building great hopes on the return of Treasurer William Clark from Europe. ' They are firmly con- vinced that he will bring home with him a new superintendent, and that the odious Herbert \Valmsley, whom they blame for all their trouble with the Clarks, will get his walking papers. The Clarks who are at home will not give the strikers any en. couragement, and in fact deny this re port, but nevertheless the men believe that this is the case. . Suspicious Illness. 'VVEST ALBANY, .Ind., March 4,—Mrs. Nicholas Long and her husband quarreled over her determination to join the church, and Long threatened her life. Yesterday morning Mrs. Long and three children were taken violently ill, and the physician pronounces the case one of poisoning. Mr. Long has not been arrested.
