The Free Pass Matter.
The Legislature of 1889 in one of its
repentant moods, or else at the diets-
tion of the railroads, no one seems to
know which, passed a law providing
that the comptroller should furnish
members of the legislature with rail-
road tickets at public expense upon the
assignment to the state of the mem-
bers’ mileage. This was regarded as a
deadly blow at the “free pass” abuse
and was heralded abroad as another
triumph over the baleful influence of
the railroads. The bill for these tick-
ets has been rendered and the financial '
side of this moral victory now looms
up. t appears that the state has paid
about $100,000 for these tickets and re-
ceived about 38,000 in mileage fees,
and this year the railroads will ask that
the ticket bill of the previous session
be doubled. ‘ The railroadsgost money
on their contract for as the ticketswere
good "during the session” the numer-
ous “recesses” of the legislature of
1891 kept the tickets alive nearly two
years. Realizing that the present leg-
islature may last well into Julywith
the probability of an adjourned session
tend to make a losing bargain. The
free pass abuse really never existed in
Connecticut because the railroads gave
passes to members Of the legislature
whether they were open friends or
avowed enemies. The size of this bill
for railroad tlckets shows how much

and which will in the future require a

Masonic.
The narrow minded blackheads of
the Grand Lodge of Masons of Con-

the ring masters who control that in-

mally frisky because he thinks we are
9‘In Disgrace. ’-’—-Hour.
That Mr. Maples should feel-exceed-
ingly unhappy is but human. He has
an additional burden of humiliation to
bear because he has brought all this
trouble and disgrace wilfully upon
himself. The GAaETTn, however. is
not in it. It is purely a matter be-
tween Mr. Maples and the Grand
Lodge of Masons, which has by a vote
of 122 to 24 expelled him from the or-
der. Had he made such an apology,
such as rumor states he wrote for Mr.
Mead to make, he would no doubt
have been forgiven for his ofl'ense, al-
though, asa mason, it was far graver
than any error Worshipfnl Master
Mead had, committed, in that he had
outrageously vilified the Grand Mas-
ter of his order in his paper. The con.
eluding part of Master Mead’s apology
is in these words ;
Worshiriful Grand Master for this act,
Or any other act of mine that may ap-
pear to have been disrespectful to the
Most Worshipful Grand Master or to
the Most Worshipfnl Grand Lodge of
Connecticut. Fraternally yours, ”

For the information of the uninitiated
we would state that the words quoted
in the above head-line, is the technical
and proper Masonic phrase used to
designate Mr. Maples’ unfortunate po-
sition 111 relation to that order. It was
used in this and no other sense by the
GAZETTE, which has no feeling other
than that of the sincerest pity for the
man who so far lost his self control as
to bring upon his own head this load of
obloquy. ‘ =

Ice in the Sound is making it very

With her propeller shaft broken and

towed to her pier at Beekman street,

The City of Norwalk: was caught in
the ice yesterday 011' Hempstead Bay,
on her' way to New York from South
Norwalk, and she might have been
there yet but for the timely assistance
of the United States steamship Ban-
croft. '
The cruiser was on her way to New-
port when the whistles Of the disabled
steamboat were heard by her officers.
The City of N orwalk’s propeller was
broken and she was helpless. The ice
field had closed in around her and her
crew could do nothing. A heavy
hawser was sent aboard the City
of Norwalk from the Bancroft, and
Uncle Sam’s cruiser then dragged the
steamboat out of her perilous position.
The-J. F. Wlliteback happened to be
passing, and her captain readily con-
sented to tow the City ‘pf Norwalk to
New York for a consideration.
Ice in big fields still covers a large
portion of the Sound, and pilots of
Sound steamers have to proceed with
great caution. 1

An Unexpected Verdict in the
' Pittsbuig Poison‘case.
ANEW-TRIAL IS LIKELY TO BE
,‘ASKED. FOR.
The Penalty for the Crime is a Heavy
One. -
Pmsnune, Pa., Jan. 21.—A profound
sensation was created by the finding of
Hugh F. Dempsey, Master Workman of
District Assembly No. 3 of the Knights
of Labor, guilty asvindioted for adminis-
tering poison to the non-union workmen
at Homestead with intent to commit
murder.
The conviction admits of the extreme
penalty of $500 fine and 10 years’imprison-
ment. There will has consultation of the
attorneys and it is probable that a motion
for a. new trial will be made.
The finding of the jury was the talk of
the toWn for the balance of the day and
public Opinion was divided, many people
thinking there was enough doubt about
the testimony to have warranted a differ-
ent verdict. Labor orders in the city
were about the only people who did not
venture an opinion publicly. One or two
of them said they thought the testimony
warranted the verdict. .The Opinion as to
the possibility of a new trial is generally
one way, as nearly everybody thinks that
Demspey will not be given another chance.
Judge Stowe finished his charge at 10.20
yesterday morning. At 1.10 at the Open-
ing of the afternoon session, the‘ jury
came in for further instructions bearing
upon the form of their verdict in refer-
ence to the different ‘counts. They then
retired and in seven minutes returned
with their verdict of guilty. ,
Dempsey arose and received the verdict
with an unmoved eountenance and to all
outward appearances was one of the least
concerned and affected persons present.
The counsel for the prosecution said
the verdict was no more than they ex-
pected. The counsel for the defence were
sorely disappointed. To a reporter Mr.
Dempsey said :he had no comment to
make except to reiterate the declaration
that he is an innocent man.
The J udge’s charge was pronounced
impartial by the counsel on both sides.
The situatiOn in which the case went t6,‘ 'l
the jury and the manner in which it was
decided by them, is, perhaps, tersely and
significantly shown in the Judge’s charge
when he said:
sufficiently shown by the evidence to have
been a party directing or participating in
such poisoning, by whomsoev‘er it may
have been actually administered?”
“The last question depends solely upon
the testimony of Gallagher and Davidson.
If they tell the truth, then the defendant
Was the Originator and principal in the
business, responsible for the acts of Gal-
lagher and Davidson, or either, and ac-
countable for whatever they did in pur-
suance of his instructions. Now, just
here comes the great question so far as
the defendant in this case is concerned.
Dempsey emphatically denies what Gal-
lagher and Davidson say in regard to the
purpose for which he employed them.
He is a competent, but an interested .wit-
ness. They are also competent, but sus-
picions and tainted witnesses.
But the jury may, if .they believe their
testimony, convict from it alone.”
Comments show that whatever doubt.
as to the justness of the verdict there may
be, naturally rests itself upon the nature
of the evidencenpon which Mr. Dempsey
wa's convicted.
KILLED HER OWN son.
A Qu‘arrel Over Some Buckwheat Cakes
' Results in Murder.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-—As the result
of a quarrel over the number of buck-
wheat cakes on the supper table, Thomas
Davis, aged 17 of 310 North Ninth street,
was killed last night by his mother, Mrs.
Mary Taggart.
The boy was born to Mrs. Taggart by
a former husband, and for several years
past has worked in a junk shop, contri-
buting a portion of his earnings to the
support -of the family. Last night he
went home cold and hungry at 9 o’clock
and sat down to supper, which consisted
mainly of buckwheat cakes. He asked
his mother why she hadn’t cooked enough
for both Of them. She said: “Because
the stove won’t cook them all at once.”
Davis made an irritable reply, and She
plunged a table knife into his heart, kill-
ing him instantly. She was entirely sober
at the time of the crime.
