New Connecticut Maps.
George H. Walker & Co., of Boston,
. publishers of the atlas of Massachu-
setts, have published new maps of Con-
necticut based on the geological survey
made by the United States and the
state of Connecticut. The maps show
all the city and town names and boun-
daries, railroads and railroad stations,
all the public roads, postoifices and vil-
lage names, all streams, ponds, hills,
swamps, coast names, etc. The maps
are printed in sections. The eastern
section shows Hartford andthe town of
Guilford, all of the Connecticut River
which is in Connecticut, and all cast of
the Rhode Island line.
The western section shows the re-
mainder of the state.
A carefully compiled index of the en-
tire state will be published WIth each
section, so that any town, railroad sta-
tion, pond, stream, shore name or hill
can be found at once on the map, thus
saving long and vexatious delays and
possible disappointment. Each section
will be issued, with all the index, in
covers for pocket use, and the two sec- -
tions will be mounted together, mak-
ing a complete wall map.

Union mills who was suddenly called
into the building on business.

A move has been made by a well~

the habit of treating. His efforts in
that direction .wfll be in vain. The
treat is: ‘
I treat; Thou treatest; Hatreats;
You treat; We treat; They treat.
Then comes the past tence : I, treated;
You treated ; He treated; We trehted;
They treated. Then it is time for the
sequence of “setting ’em up again,”
and the future tense comes in: I will
treat: Thou wilt treat; He Will treat;
We shall treat ° You .shall treat; They
shall treat. Followmg the sequence
comes the flush, and everybody in the
party feels in a I should—thou shouldst
—he should—we should—you should—
and they should have treated.
The gentleman above mentioned
wishes to change it to read this way ;
I will not treat ; thou Wilt not treat;
he will not treat—and the whole human
race shall go around: With a frog in its
throat, with “liquid comfort every-
where and not a drop to drink.”

Walsh pead.
Robert Walsh, who made an attempt
to end his life at Compo a week ago
Sunday, died at the‘ hospital Monday
as a result of his act. _ Death was pro-
duced by cerebro-spinal meningitis.
The case of Walsh is a most peculiar
one, and if poss1ble the Bridgeport
hospital staff will hold an autopsy to
learn the nature of the causeof death.
Walsh had been drinking heavily of
late, and became despondent and dis-
couraged. On Sunday, June 4, he _de-
termined to end his life, and securing
a revolver he placed the barrel at his
lips and shot up through the roof of
his mouth. He was removed to the
Bridgeport hospital and an unsuccess-
ful attempt was made to locate the ball.
A day after his arrival a piece of the
flattened bullet was discharged from
his nostrils and the physicians in charge
were unable to determine whether or
not the remainder of the bullet was in
his head. During the first two days at
the hospital Walsh showed no seri-
ous effects from the bullet but on
Wednesday last a change Was noticed.
His brain seemed to be disturbed and
at night he would attempt to leave his
bed at frequent intervals. He talked
rationally but it was easily learned that
his brain was affected.
On Friday, his illness assumed a crit.
ical nature and he steadily grew worse
until death ended his sufferings. He
was 48 years old and leaves a family.

Buncoed Gypsy Wells.
. William Wells and William Small,
members of the band of Gypsues en-
‘camped on the Fairfield road near
Mountain grove cemetery, called at
the Bridgeport- police headquarters
Monday night and told Capt. Birming-
ham that a pair of horses had been
stolen from them under guise of. a
trade. Monday morning, they said; a
gentlemanly appearing man accompan-
ied by a colored man called at the camp
and asked for Wells, saying he wanted
to buya pair of horses. He was shown
a pair and after a little talk said he had
a pair which he would trade for Wells’
horses. In the afternoon while Wells
was away the men came back driving a
pair and got Small to hitch up Wells’
horses to their buggy for trial. . ‘
While Small was taking the harness
off one of the stranger’s-horses, a false
tail was detached from the stump of
the horse’s natural appendage. This
set him thinking and he began to be
anxious about the man’s return. After
waiting five hou s and the men not re-
turning, the ypsies went to head-
quarters with the complaint. As the
transaction took place across the city
line and in the town of Fairfield, the
Bridgeport police were powerless _to
act on the complaint and the Gypsies
were referred to the Fairfield au-
thorities. , ‘

THE BRIGGETSE AGAIN.
The Professor": Friends Will Not Allow
the Matter to Rest.
NEW YORK, June 13.—-At a meeting of
the New York presbytery Professor Fran-
cis Brown, of Union seminary, moved that
the official announcement from the Gen—
eral Assembly of the reversal of the pres-
bytery’s judgment and the suspension of
Dr. Briggs be not entered upon the records.
He also put forward a set of resolutions
and a memorial to be presented to the
next General Assembly attacking the con-
stitutionality of the General Assembly’s
appeal, not only on the methods which
were observed in the conduct, but also on
the ground that that body had no right
whatever to take up the question before it
had been submitted to the synod.
After Professor Brown had read the
memorial, which was quite lengthy,
he proceeded to state his case. N 0 one in-
terrupted him, but the minute that he sat
down a dozen men arose, clamoring for
recognition.
Then there was confusion, and at one
time four members claimed the floor at [the
same time. Nearly two hours of stormy
discussion ensued, in which an effort was
made to lay the memorial on the table
until October. Four motions to adjourn
were lost.
The moderator decided that the discus-
sion was in order, and the body, by a. vote
of 50 to 41, refused to lay it on the table.
By a. flank movement, however, the objec-
tors had discussion suspended while Dr.
Herrmann P. Faust, once a Jewish rabbi,

adjourn was carried and the memorial
goes over with other unfinished business
for October’s meeting. In the meantime
the decision of the General Assembly will
be recorded on the minutes of the New
York presbytery.

nature would be agreeable to her.
The princess visited the fair yesterday,
arriving in the morning and remaining un-
til late in the afternoon. The infants, in
following the bent of her own whimsical
will, has given the officials of the fair a.
pretty chase, and they don’t relish the task

which she is entitled, but Commander

the party spent some time in the Midway
Plaisance. From there they were taken to
the Convent La Rabida. he paths and
entrance to the convent were packed with
people, but the infants. only smiled, and
spent another half hour within the walls
seeing the Columbian relics and other kin-
dred exhibits. The next move was to take
a ride in a special train on the electric
road, and the visit was ended. The return
journey to the city was made in Hobart

THE ACCUSED WOMAN’S EMOTION.
The Announcement of a Decision in Her
Favor Brings Tears to go! Eyes—Law-
yer Robinson Says His Client Was Led
Into a Trap. ,
NEW BEDFQRD, Mass, June 13'."—'l‘he
question of the admissability of Lizzie
Borden’s testimony at the inquest was the
bone of contention in the Borden murder
trial yesterday. Ex- Governor Robinson
made a lengthy and pathetic plea. for the
suppression of the contradictory and sus-
picious evidence. He said that for three
days the police and district attorney ques-
tioned and cross questioned this lone
Woman. who had no friend to turn to. The
warrant for her arrest was finder her eyes
all this time. She had not been informed
of her right to decline to'aii‘swm- questio'ns;
she was not cautioned—she was led into a
trap. The inquest tvas meiely a scheme
to do up the prisoner.
Mr. Moody deals that the prisoner had
been hounded by t e police, or that they
had set a trap for her. She was not cau‘
tioned by the magistrate, but her counsel
was told before she testified that he could
confer with her and inform her of her con-
stitutional rights.
The opinion of the court was that Lizzie
Borden Was practically a prisoner at the
time of the inquest, and that under those
circumstances the testimony could not be
admitted at this trial. When the decision
was announCed Miss Bo‘rden ' held her
handkerchief up to her eyes and wept.
This was the first show of emotion since
the trial began.
It was a great victory for the defense,
and her counsel breathed heavy sighs of
relief. The jury was excluded during the
argument. _
Joseph Hyde, a Fall River policeman,
was then called. He testified that On the
night of the murder, while watching the
house, he'saw Miss Borden and Miss Rus-
