pond. The treatment was effectual.
Two drunk and frisky husbands in

ternoon.- '
Going about for a general borough
inspection on Saturday, the burgesses
found that the east side of Stewart
avenue had been staked out for the

necessity the east side,) it will become
necessary for the water main to be laid
on the west side, anda partial re-survey
will be made for that purpose.
To-morrow afternoon Borough Engi-
neer Wood and Burgess Bowe will go

and their conclusions will be embodied .

Yesterday’s New York Sun says :
“Robert F. Adams is proprietor of a
hotel on Main street, Norwalk, Conn. .
He has been visiting New York, and on
April 15 he was robbed of his diamond
pin, valued at $250, while riding on the
rear platform of a Third avenue horse
car. The thief snatched it out of Mr. _
Adams’s scarf, jumped off the car and“
escaped. On Thursday night Mr. Pal-_
mer, who has a saloon at 3,274 Eighth
avenue, received a visit from James
Reilly, alias “Red Goss,” of 326 East
Thirty-fifth street, and Reilly’s uncle,
Thomas Hart, of 59 East 106th street.
Palmer and Adams are acquaintances.
Reilly told Palmer that he had heard
that Adams was willing to pay $50 for
the return of the stolen pin, andsaid he
thought he could tell him where he
could find it if Adams would give him
the reward. Palmer told Reilly he be-
lieved him to be the thief. Reilly and
his uncle attacked Palmer and Palmer
was stabbed under the left eye. Reilly
and Hart were arrested and were held
in $1,000 bail each for trial yesterday
for assault. Mr. Adams identified
Reilly as the man who stole hispin, and
the accused was held in $1,000 additional
bail for trial for grand larceny.

WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:
That the many friends of Mrs. Wil-
liam H. Earle will regret to hear she
has la grippe.
That the Y. M. C. A. boys played a
game of ball at the Amphitheatre
grounds Saturday afternoon, prepara-
tory to organizing a base ball team for
the season. Mr. Van Buren and his
three sons were present to witness the
game, but the gentle April shower of
snow and hail forced them to seek shel-
ter, but with Mr. Van Buren’s usual
thoughtfulness he made a large num-
ber of the boys happy with the dainty
dear to all boys’ hearts, a feast of the
toothsome peanut, which made a jolly
finish to the afternoon’s pleasure, and
all came away happy with the thought
that Mr. Van Buren in his noble man-
hood had not forgotten that he was a
small boy once. '
That this will be a red letter day for
the enthusiastic Grace church worship-
ers, and a day of rejoicingfor the ladies
of the Guild, who have contributed
their time, theirenergy and their men-
ey to help furnish the beautiful sanctu-
ary. '
That the darkest cloud may have a
silver lining, that’s a fact. A fit of
sickness, after it is all over, is a joyous
thing to look back upon, or even a
mashed thumb nail has been known to
transform the most quiet person into a
florid conversationalist.
That the most beautiful orchid is the
“ Holy Ghost ”—a perfect image of a
dove nestled in a bed of white satin.
That the chief reminder of summer
yesterday was the spring bonnet, and
some of the hats this year deserve a
place in the curio cabinet.
That a stranger looking at our East
avenue sidewalks would think our town
will attend and that our department. ‘

Italians Still Unpaid.
Selectman Daskam, who has assumed
the responsibility, on behalf of the
town, of feeding andlodging the Italian
contingent, begins to think he has a
whole herd of white elephants on his
hands. He 'can neither sell them nor
give them away, and up to date no
philanthropic gentleman has stepped
into the gap and volunteered to settle
with the Italians at a discount, taking
his chances upon the likelihood of a
settlement with Contractor Rider and
the borough in the near future.
Several conferences were held this
morning by borough and town officials
and others, upon the very unsatisfactory
state of things, but there Seemed to be
no way out of the labyrinth save that
suggested in Saturday’s GAZETTE.

ing situation and made an earnest plea
for the immediate payment of the wages
due the Italians.

' NEW YORK LETTER-
The Late Catharine Street Horror—
lnspector Byrnes Does Not Be—
lieve the Current Rumors.
N Ew YORK, April 26, 18.91.
. DEAR GAZETTE :—To-day'on Fifth and
Sixth avenues, Upper Broadway and
other popular thoroughfares, the chief
topic of conversation with church-go-
ing folk, as-w'ell as others, was the re-
cent 'murder and mutilation of Carrie
Brown, otherwise known as Shake-
speare, inthe East Side hotel, a note-.
rious dive in Catharine street, which-
has been the scene of crimes innumer-
London to New York. If this were in-
deed true there would be a fruitful field
for the’villain’s operations in various
East Side localities of this great town,
which are quite as foul and inaccessible
as any in the vicinity of St. Giles or the
Seven Dials in London.
To-day New York, with its more than
a million, and ahalf of population, offers
for the time being, safe asylum within
its dewn-town precincts especially, to
the renegades from foreign countries.
But, with this far from homogeneous
pepulation to deal with, New York has
the best detective force in the world,
headed, just now, by a man who will
not rest until every resource has been
exhausted iii the attempt to capture
peer Shakespeare’s murderer.
Neither Inspector Byrnes nor any of
his subordinates partakes of the popu-
lar apprehension that the London fiend
is really on this side of the Atlantic,
and entered upon another series of
blood-curdling murders and mutila—
tiens. They give reasons for their be-
lief, which, .to those who have given
them any thought, are convincing, but
need not be dwelt upon at length in
this letter. I will refer to one thing,
however, one distinguishing mark of
every murder committed by Jack, the
Ripper, which was conspicuously ab—
sent in this case. Every London vic-
tim was found with throat cut, and in
everyinstance the fiend had grasped
the victim with‘h'iETight hand’and had
drawn the knife across the throat from
right to left. Carrie Browu’s threat was
not cut, neither was her person mutila-
ted in the precise manner characteris-
tic of J ack,the Ripper. Today I ascer-
tained at police headquarters in Mul-
berry street, that the detectives have
learned to a certainty who the murder-
er is and believe him to be in hiding in
Brooklyn. As he had no money when
last seen it is not believed he can go far
before being captured.
The murdered woman was the widow
of a sea captain. She was born in Sa-
lem, Mass, where her two accomplish-
ed daughters still reside. Her husband
left her a small fortune, but soon after
his death she plunged into vice, and for
about fifteen years has been notorious,
even among the most notorious charac-
ters in lower New York. P.
Another Villa.
Rostmaster Carmi Hubbell has closed
a contract with Builder S. B. Wilson,
for the erection of a beautiful villa res-
idence on his romantic lot on St. John
place and the cellar has already been
staked out. Mr. Wilson drew the ac-
cepted plans and has secured the con-
tract fer its erection. Few builders in-
deed can compete with him on, prices
for the erection of dwellings as he is in
the street vernacular, a “hustler” and
makes money by his push and drive,
while others lose by the slower and
more easy-going methods of working.
The general design of the house re-
sembles quite closely the one the con-
tractor has so recently built and rented
to Ex-Burgess Jones, on Cross street.
There will be some important changes
in the interior designs, but as a whole
there will be few if any dwellings in
Norwalk, of moderate cost that will vie
with it in harmony of exterior archi-
tectural design, or interior beauty of
finish and convenience of arrangement.
Our P. M. deserves a good house and
an attractive home and he will “get
there.”
Burnes-McLaughlln.
A delightful wedding was solemnized
by Rev. Father Dugan, last evening,
at the parochial residence,after which a .
reception was given at the home of the
bride on Chapel street. A large company
of friends were present. The contract-
ing parties were Maggie Ruins, of Nor- ,
walk, and Bernard M. Laughlin, of
South Norwalk. The bride wore a rose
colored cashmere gown and her sister
Miss Bridget Burnes, who acted as
bridesmaid, were a gray cashmere
dress. The happy pair, after the re-
ception took the late train to New
York.

OBITUARY.
- MRS. ELIZABETH JESSUP REED.
Mrs. Elizabeth J essup Reed, widow
of the late James Reed, Sr. Editor of
the Ashtabula' Telegraph, died at her
home on Vine St., of heart trouble last
Wednesday afternoon, April 15th.
Mrs. Reed, formerly Miss Elizabeth
J camp, was born in Otsego, New York,
July 6th, 1820, and was married to
James Reed in Jan. of 1840, and came
with her husband to this place in 1856.
Since that time she has been a constant
resident here, Mr. Reed purchasing the
Telegraph shortly after their advent to
this place. She leaves four children,
Mrs. J. Sum Blyth and James Reed of
this village, Miss Emma Reed, of New
York City, and William J. Reed, of
Chattanooga, Colorado. Funeral ser-
vices were held Saturday afternoon at
her late home, her pastor, Rev. J. N;
McGifl'ert, preaching an eloquent ser-
mon. She was buried by the side of
her husband in Chestnut Grove Cem-
etery, overlooking the town she loved
so well and where she had spent so
many useful and happy years. Her
children were all present at her funeral
except William, whom it was impossible
to reach by telegram in time—[Ashta-

_ i Need a Larger Bell.
It will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the burgesses among the
other actual needs of the lire depart-
ment it was stated that the present fire
alarm bell was whooly inadequate for
the purpose, and that a new one weigh-
ing at least 2, 000 pounds, should take the
place of that at'present in use. It was
then suggested that the bell, no .v used,
weighed 1,000 pounds, and if so, one at
least twice as large was imperatively
needed. It has since been ascertained,
however, (so the DAILY GAZETTE is in-
formed to-day by a prominent and well
posted fire department official,) that
the present bell weighs at least 2,000
pounds. If that be the case the peti-
tion of the firemen will be changed so
as to provide for the purchase of a four
thousand pound bell. Every citizen
and tax payer should see to it that
everything actually needed by our
efficient fire department he purchased
at an early day. '

Mr. Rockwood, the well known

What a boon to tired mothers with

scored 227,000 negatives,-and yet he is
not tired!
“The Wife.”
Of the play which is to be given at
the Opera House, Friday evenin, May
lst, the San Francisco Bulletin says:
“The Wife” is a capital play——capitally
acted. It breathes the air of good
society. It. brims over with fun—hon-
est, genuine rollicking fun. It is clean
throughout. ”The company is equal to
the best comedy company in Paris, and
far superior to any on the English
stage. The acting throughout is
simply superb.
