thought the company ought to pay .for
it. Burgess Bowe thought otherWise.

the court finally voted to pay the bill
less that sum.” »
There was no question as to the

Fierce Runaway.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock,
J. Remson, the South Norwalk truck?
man, met with quite a mishap. He
erts’ military institute when the cadets
broke ranks, after dress parade, and
dashed into the institute with so" much
vim that they frightened Mr. Remson’s
horses and the latter dashed down
East avenue and Wall street as if pur-
sued by demons. Even Mill Hill, with
its somewhat sharp descent, had no
terrors for them and they went down
thatnoted thoroughfare in a twinkling.
As they tried to turn at the foot of the
hill they brought up against the lamp
post with such force as to shatter the
truck pole, break the harness, injure
one of - the horses and break the two
lower panes of glass in the east Window
of 'Honnecker’s bakery. The. lamp
post proved more effectual in stopping
army with banners,” and it is very
fortunate that their wild career was
thus summarily checked.

childish hands, and from a generous

that nature is so old and yet so young.
What bounclless resources of health to

abundant life“? The spring time reveals
to humanity the promise of immortal

That the Eadt avenue improvement
is a move in theright direction, a great
deal of interest is being taken, and it
is heartily indorsed on every hand by
all public-spirited people. Neverthe-
less, a noble shade tree is not a matter
of dollars but ‘of a full human lifetime,
and every such tree ought to be an ob~
ject of veneration and should be spared
whenever possible under the one good
safe and solid rule of "pro bono publico.”
Study the Charter.
The GAZETTE has discovered that a
section of the Charter of the Borough
reads: ,
The Court of Burgesses shall have power to
organize and continue a fire department, and
to procure suitable apparatus, land and build-
ings therefor.
Then the GAZETTE triumphantly asks:
“In what way does it (the above
clause) invalidate the Court of Bur-
gesscs’ power to secure ‘suitable appar-
atus ?’ 71.6. hose, for the fire depart-
m nt?”
6 i: a E
The charter further provides . “that
no vote, ordinance or resolution of
said court of bin-gasses, ordering a pub-
lic work of improvement which shall
require an expenditure of more than
five hundred dollars, shall be of any
validity until approved by a majority
of the legal voters of said borough pre-
sent at a meeting dul warned and held
for that purpose.——[ our.”
Well, we' shall see, whether the court
will rule that “a public work or im-
provement” in anywise refers to or in-
validates that other provision just
quoted by us that “The Court of Bur-
gesses shallhave power to organize and
continue a fire department and to pro-
cure suitable apparatus. 850.” Who is

Narrow Escape.
Vincent Honnecker had a close es-
cape from serious injury this morning.
He was driving his bakery wagon acroSs
the Consolidated railroad tracks at the
Monroe street crossing. A freight
train was making a' flying switch.
Honnecker saw the locomotive and two
or three cars pass on but did not see
that the rest of the train was following.
One of the cars struck the wagon and
threw it off the tracks, and the horse
clearing itself, ran away. Honnecker
saved himself by jumping from the
wagon. The damage is nominal but
the escape was a narrow one. This is
the second experience of a similar na-
ture that Honnecker has had and he
will begin to think it can’t be did.

What They Say of It.
The able New York Recorder (Inde-
Court decision: ' -
“The decision of a Supreme Court of
Connecticut that the “for” ballots were
legal apparently leaves Judge Morris
extent of 77 tickets. The Democratic
contention that he received an absolute
majority under the law now rests upon
the narrow ground of lack of authority
to _go behind the returns. Except for
this slim chance the Republicans have
legal right .to expect that incumbent
Bulkeley will be relieved only by legis-
lativeaction seating their candidate,
Merwin.
It .18 creditable to the law-abiding
Splrlt of the Democracy of the State
that the opinion which bears so strong-
y against Democratic hopes was writ—
ten , b a Democratic judge, and
throng out _the controversy Judge
Morris and his fellow partisans have
,exhibited a commendable alacrity in
relying only upon the operation of
law and a fixed disinclination to resort
to tricks or usurpation.
_ An important incident of the decision
is the judicml recognition of the citi-
zens’ party, b which the “for” ballots
were issued. his precedent is encour-
aging to independentmovements every-
where and depressing to those who sus-
tain the domination of permanent
‘machines’ ”
This is what Ex—Congressman Vance
has to say in his New Britain Herald
(dem.) of yesterday;
, “This case, although it ori inated in
a local contest in Branford, Tied a '
rect bearing on the state controversy.
Tickets were used on which the word
“for” preceded the name of the dif-
ferent oflices to be filled. A defeated
candidate claimed that these tickets
were illegal under the new ballot law,
and Judge Hall decided that they were.
The case was taken to the Supreme
court and the decision is reversed, the
latter tribunal being unanimous in de-
ciding that the “for” ballots should be
counted. ”’
Then he dolefully emits this funercal,
despairing wait-—
“The action of the court yesterday
takes away all hope and we are now in
for it all summer. ”
This is from the ablest and most re-
liable of all theConnecticutDemocratic
papers, the Hartford Times:—
“The Supreme Court decision at
New Haven pronounces illegal all such
ballots as those castby the Prohibition-.:
ists with the place for the name of .pro-
bate judge left blank, and on which the
name was written in. Of these there
were 3,413. Of Democratic ballots
which were invalid from the same cause
there were 800. That leaves over 2,600
ballots to bethrown out according to
the court’s decision, and hence Gover-
nor Morris’ majority is not 26, but
2,600. .
' This is the main, point the founda-
tion stone, of the*wahoale ecision.
The decision of the court is decided
upon the illegality of the so-called pro-
bate blank ballots. They are void.
Now so far as this decision of the
court in the town of Branforcl case ap-
plies to the election of Governor at the
last NOvember election, it most decid-
edly favors the Democratic claim.
There. were only 111 ‘ ‘E‘or” ballots in
question. Whether legal or not, it
would make no difference in the result,
as there were 3,413 blank Prohibition
probate ballots—all illegal, and only
800 Democratic. So that under this
demsmn Judge Morriswould be elected
by a very large majority. The moral
effect of the decision is with the Demo-
crats most decidedly, whether the legal
part of the decision can be brought to
benr upon the State election issue, or
no .” - ‘
From the Hartford Courant, Repub-
lican: —
organs are trying hard to make believe
that nothing has happened to them,
some of their outside sympathizers set
them an example of frankness and hon-
esty. ‘Thus far the Republicans have
the best of it,’ concedes the New York
Commercial Advertiser. ‘It' appears
that the force of yesterday’s (Wednes-
day’s) decision is on the side of the Re-
publicans] says the Springfield Repub-
ican. ” ’

A Matrimonial Fiend.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 6.—Charles
W. Seidell, one of the trustees of the vil-
lage of East Grand Rapids, pleaded guilty
to a charge of bigamy and was remanded
for sentence. He has a record of five wives,
all living. He commenced his career in
1878 by'marrying Rosa Saronec‘ke, at Alle-
gheny, Pa. A few months later he mar-
ried Belle McClelland, of the same town,
and served two years in the penitentiary
for it. Upon regaining his liberty he mar:
ried Emma Klingman and Lizzie Kline in
rapid succession and then skipped. He‘
came here two years ago, and after a brief
courtship married Kittie Reed, the daugh-
ter of a pioneer resident. His third and
fourth wives got on to his trail and caused
his arrest while he was courting his sixth
victim, having already separated from his
fifth. Seidell is thirty—five years old and
rather good looking.
Another Bank Failure.
HUNTINGBURG, Ind, June 6.-—The Hunt-
ingburg bank has cloSed its doors. This
action was decided upon by the directors
on account of the heavy losses the bank
has sustained. The losses were caused by
the cashier permitting depositors to over-
draw their accounts. These overdrafts
will probably aggregate $30,000 or $40,-
000. The directors will apply for a re-
ceiver. The bank was organized under
the state law in 1883. Its capital stock
. was $25,000, and surplus of $16,000.

SPECIAL CITY NEWS.
Miss Sarah Taylor of Woodward ave-
,nue, is visiting with friends in Brook-
lyn. . l
The fair and entertainment of the W.
R.- C. has been set for the evenings of
June 18, 19 and 20. '
Why are some voting methods like a
horse disease? Because they represent
'poll-‘evil.
_Min_nehaha Division, S. of» T., will
hold a literary entertainment next Mon-
day evening in their hall on South
Main street. .
Mr. Bennett of the firm of Bennett&
Husted, and Mr. Sample of the firm of
Miller & Semple, are confined to their
respective homes with sickness.
A bicyclist took a tumble on the car-
riage bridge last evening, and Was as
George Miller recently remarked, “but-
tered side down ! ”
The Iron Molders’ Union will prob-
ably lease and occupy Grand Army
hall for the purpose of holding their bi-
monthly meetings therein.
Certain old fishermen who ' “fol~
low the creek ” hereabouts, maintain
that the creature popularly known as
the “horse-foot” has no other name.
This is a mistake. The proper ichthy-
ological name is “King-crab—a large
crustacean of the genus Limulus, hav-
ing the form of a horse’s foot, hence
often called horse-foot and horse-shoe.
It has no jaws, its organs of mastication
being the six'pairs of feet which are so
situated as to surround the mouth
The basal portion -of these are armed
with strong spines which serve the pur-
pose of teeth.” C. V. A.

The Condemned Man.
- Rev. Beverly E. Warner will con-
tinue to visit Jacob Scheele' at least
every other day until the execution,
unless the condemned man in one of
his moods takes a dislike to him.
Should Scheele wish it, Mr. Warner
will remain with him during the night
preceding the execution.
After Mr. Warner left him yesterday
Scheele manifested no change in his
.manner. During the day he kept very
still, seeming most of the time to be en-
gaged in deep thought. The anxious
expression on his face showed that he
fully realizes the import of the action
of the board of pardons. Knowing his
nature, the guards are watching him
with increased vigilance—Farmer.

Big Charge of Dynamite.
On Thursday afternoon two thousand
tons of rock, more or less, were dis-
lodged from the parent stock at Blue
Mountain quarry, enough, it is thought,
to enable Connor Brothers to complete
their street work now under contract.
Four kegs of powder had been pre-
v1ously used to open the seams and
when everything was ready, with
seventy pounds of dynamite stowed
away in the seams, the great upheaval
came off, as stated, Thursday afternoon.
In all of their recent blasting opera-
tions Connor Brothers have been ex-
ceptionally fortunate.
