One IDent. DAILY - NOEWALK— GAZETTE. l One Cent. Absolutely Independent. FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1891. CONNECTIC UT CRIM’I .V'A Ls. Albany, March 12.~—Assemblyman Fish, of Putnam County, called upon the Judiciary Committee yesterday to take steps to have arrested and returned to Connecticut such of its criminals as escape to this state. But the demo_ crats objected even to the reception of the resolution, and therefore it was returned to him. The resolution was as follows : WHERE AS, The Gove1'11o1 of this state has, in an official document, declared that he refuses, and will continue to refuse, to comply with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States relating to the extradition of criminals who have escaped, or who shall her e- after escape, fr om the state of Connecti- cut and take refuge within the state of New York , and ' WHEREAS, The alleged justification of the Governor for his action 1s his refusal to recognize as GOV ernor of the state Of Connecticut the gentleman who is undisputably 111 actiV e possession of that office, and who is recognized as being in such possession by the people of that state, while the Governor of this state insists upon recognizing as GOV mm of Connecticut a gentleman who makes no claim to be 1n actual possession of that office, and VV ho pel- f01n1s no acts as Governor; the1efore IVESOLV ED, That the Judiciary Com- mittee be directed to inquire into and report to this House, within ten days, what legislation 1s necessary to prevent this state from continuing to be a safe harbor of refuge in VV hich criminals from another state remain free fr om fear of punishment, no matter how heinous and undoubted may be their offences. I11 an inte1'VieVV yesterday GOV ernor Hill w as asked VV hat steps he VV ould take in the eV ent of the escape of a New York criminal into Connecticut. His reply was, “I’ll make a requisition on the Office and let them fight it out among themselves." -—————<—o»>~ n11 TTERSON_II ILL. In a recent interview with a New York Tribune 1ep1esentatiV e, anent his running afoul of the Hill jugger- naut, Editor Watterson of the Louis- ville Courier-Journal gives employ- ment to that portion of his usually somewhat lurid vocabulary which the rank and file of his party can readily comprehend. As‘a whole the interview in the language of the founder of the ’l‘1ibune is “mighty,1 interesting read- 111g .11 and the DAILY G1ZETTE summa- iizes thus: ‘If that letter VV as impertineht,” said \Ir. Watter son, ‘I had VV ritten one a V ear befo1e to Mr. CleV eland that was fai' more impertinent, only, instead of Mr. CleV eland’ s taking it as Mr. Hill did he replied in a spirit of cordiality and acquiescence. I haV en’t spoken of that since, partly from sentiment; but I should liaV e no hesitation in publish- 111;" it if Mr. CleV eland would permit it. It s tiue that Mr. CleV eland asked my adV Ice, and Gov. Hill didn t. ‘It 1s true GOV. Hill and I had had no correspondence. But the first time I met him he poured out his griefs into 1111 car for three hours. He told me all about his Cleveland troubles, and in his differnees with Mr. CleV eland I think Mr. Cleveland is largely in the VVlong. In fact, I’V e told "Mr. Cleve- land 11s much. But there VV as nothing in my letter that ninety-nineg 0'OOd dem- oc1ats out of a hundred VV ould not say if M1. Hill asked them. If he had gone to Mr. CleV eland and said ‘Here, DMr. CleV eland, there is an imputation that I sold you out in 1888, it is not true, but I am going to elect you, and if he had theno taken hold and nominated him and managed the cam ass and elect- ed Cleveland, nothing in the world could haV e kept Hill down in 1892. The VV hole country w ould haV e gone for him VV ith tremendous enthusiasm. As it is, he will go into the Senate and be lost He is nothing but a good 01' gan- izer, anyhow. Of course, he’s a bright lev el- headed man. but he s not an 01' a- tor or debater. There ale plenty Of men in the senate who will overmatch him—Mor gan, Gr,ay Voorhees, Rea- gan George and Butler. He will lose control of the machine, and that will be the end of him.’ USEFUL .1.V'$'.1‘E 120 0.1111: A horse which had been pulling a heavily loaded wagon suddenly took it into his head to lie down on State street, and then he refused to rise. A large number of men gathered around, and of course every man had a suggestion to offer. “Yank the bridle. "’ y ellcd a man in a bug'g). The bridle was “yanked,” horse still lay there. "Twitch his tail I" screamed at man on the sidewalk. The tail was twitched, and the horse seemed rather to like it. “Poke him in the ribs 1” said a 'third suggester. The prodding was promptly perform- ed. No result. “Stick pins in his car!” remarked a man, evidently an active member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ’Twas done, but the horse only moved his head from side to side. “Three or four fellows get astride him and he’ll get 11p,” was the next suggestion. The crowd was ready to try anything, and it detailed four venturesome men, who climbed 011 the horse and kicked simultaneously with their double quar— tet of heels. But the animal never budged. The situation VV as getting serious, for the crowd was blocking the thorough- fare, when a enius yel ed: A ‘ ‘Sing ‘Litt e Annie Rooney’ to him. "’ That0 was enough. With a snort of urge the horse raised himself to his fore feet, then to his hind ones, and started off so rapidly that many of the specta~ tors had hair'blcadth escapes. ——[Chica- go Inte1- Ocean. but the THE ILLINOIS CONTEST. Generall’almer Says It Marks 21 New Era in Senatorial Elections. INDIGN AN T REPUBLICANS. Senator Fuller Charges Moore and Cock- rell with Duplicity and Treason to Their Own Party, and Says the F. l\I. B. A. Is Dead. SPRINGFIELD, Ills, March 13.—Alluding to General Palmer’s election, Speaker Crafts (Dem.) said last night: “It is a. vic- tory for the principles of the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. It is the beginning of the end of the present mode of the election of United States senators. It commits a Democratic party in this state, and possi- bly in the nation, to an amendment to our national constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; and until such an amendment is adopted there is no doubt that, so far as this state is concerned, the Democratic party is committed to the nomination of candidates for senator by the state convention, and a pledge of legis- lators to vote in the joint assembly for such nominees, thus doing away with the corrupting influences that surround legis- lative caucuses in every state.” . Palmer’s Views. General Palmer said last night: “My canvass has demonstrated that the true method of electing a senator is by an ap- peal to the people. This contest has pre- sented the contrast between the two sys- tems in their best forms. The Democratic contest has been simply a plain, simple form. Our 101 were elected under instruc tions to vote for 111e, and the two other gentlemen who voted for me ultimately were pledged to the same system of elect- ing a senator. “The Republican methods of the caucus and the canvass committee, connected with the skill exhibited by the Republican managers, present that system in its best form. In their methods the Republicans have paid no attention to the public will. They have had all the resources of the state and federal administrations at their command. Nearly all their prominent men in the state have been presented tc the farmers in opposition to me, and that system, after being fairly tested in Opposi- tion to ours, has failed, and the system 01 electing senators by the people is now fixed in Illinois politics. “It does not make very much difference whether the constitution is changed 01 not, this popular system will now become a part of the common law of Illinois and Of the political methods of the country. For myself I shall of course advocate in the United States senate an amendment tc the constitution enabling the people of the _V ar ious states to V etc directly for senator.’ “I 11 what shape does this leave the party for 1892?” was asked of Senator Fuller chairman of the Republican canvass com- mittee. Senator Fuller’s Opinion. “In the very best possible shape. Re- publicans will see just what the Demo- cratic F. M. B. A. scheme means. Repub- licans have shown their willingness to compromise 011 good F. M. B. A. or Farm- ers’ Alliance candidates, and the only reason why such a man has not been elect ed is because of the treason of Moore and Cockrell. \Ve have met them with 100 solid votes for the president of their state or- ganization. Their votes would have elected him. Let them explain their course if they can. “The F. M. B. A. as a party is dead. Two of its members in the legislature have been guilty of such duplicity as should and VV ill consign them to eternal obliv' ion. From their recefit prominence they d1 op all at once to the bottom of the hole that is said to exist in the bottom of the sea. There let them rest, execrated by all mankind.” Messrs. Streeter and Taubeneck are pre- paring and will publish today a manifests in which they denounce the action of Messrs. Moore and Cockrell in voting fo1 Palmer. It is understood that this mani- festo will state that the action of the Inde- pendents in so voting will have the effect of breaking up to a great extent the inde- pendent movement in this state, and that the reforms which it was hoped to accom- plish by this movement will be greatly re- tarded, if not entirely killed. Messrs. Moore and Cockrell will probably retaliate wit-11 another address to the public. Got Some of the Bank’s Eloney. Bos'I'ox, March 13.——Benjamin Barrows, well known in Milford and North VVin- Chester, left for parts unknown 11 week ago last Saturday. Adaughter of John Maxwell, with whom he had been board- ing, also disappeared about the same time, and it is believed that they have went to- gether. Barrows had been employed as messenger in the Shoe and Leather bank, of this city, but was discharged for several acts of carelessness. It is now believed by the bank officials that 82,000 01' $3,000 of the bank’s money had found its way into Barrow’s possession before his dismissal from their service. Miraculous Escape from Death. WiLLmnsronr, Pa, March 13.——The entire front of a hotel here in course of demolition collapsed, and four of the workmen were buried beneath the debris. They were speedily rescued, but are badly injured. They are F. Swartz, injured in- ternally and head cut; he will probably die; James Crawford, head out and side bruised; Edward Bousch, both legs badly cut; Francis Ulner, left leg bruised and bruised about the body. The escape of the men from instant death is considered mi- raculous. A Careless Boy and a Lighted Match. CHICAGO, March 13.—A fire, started by a careless. boy lighting a match in the oil room in the basement of the five story manufacturing building at 105, 107 and 109 Fulton street, destroyed the building and caused a loss of $85,000. Two hundred and fifty persons employed in the building got out in safety, but there were many narrow escapes. It Killed :I‘lu'ee Men.
