A Pension Spy.

past histories, ' character and present
conditions of N orwalk’s pensioners and

)A Decline in immigration.
The number of; immigrantslanding
on our shores for the fiscal year ending
June 30 was 121,000 less than for the
previous year, showing a falling off of
about twenty-five per cent. The ar-
rivals, however, reached nearly a half
million, which would seem to be about
as much raw material as this country
can safely undertake to transform into
free and independent citizens in times '
like these. .
It is gratifying; to be 'able to record.
a twent'yifive per cent; decrease, and it
would be more gratifying if proof could '
be furnished that this decrease was due,
to the new legal restrictions placed
upon the immigrant business by Con-
gress. There, is room-for ,the suspicion
that the cholera scare _and the strict '?
quarantine enforced at ' American sea-
ports last year had more to dowith the
‘shrinkage of the list, than the enforce-
ment of the law'excluding undesirable
immigrants. There were a good many
thousands willing and anxious to come
‘who gave up their intention when they1
found the American gates closed against .
' all immigrant ste amers. :‘ V
Whatever the cause of the shrinkage
in immigraticm the factis o§gratifying
one, and it is to be hopedxthattheim-‘T
» migration officials under the existing
laws will find a way to dc so much sift-
ing that the decrease will be'continuous.
hereafter. Some portions of the Uni-
ted States .are getting to be a little
crowded now, and we are likely to need
the thin1v1settled portions for the na-
tural increase of our own population
to overflow in. This necessity of the
future should not be overlooked nor
forgotten in 'our treatment of the im-
migration question, " and whatever can
be done to curtail the increase of pop-
ulation by the tramp steamship method
should be done, and especially now
that the conditions of labor are so dis-i
turbed as to fail to give employment to
half of our laborers who are to the
manor born. . -. 4 ' - ' - '

arrested three of the occupants—colored
women. This morning they were taken
before Justice Austin. where they gave
. their names as Alice Bigelow and Sadie
Uhle of Mt. Vernon and Pauline Hen-
derson at Stamford. The officers tes-
tified that they were acting in a dis-
orderly manner early in the evening,
and were in the company of a white
man. Later, theirs (the officers) atten-
tion was attracted by a noise on Smith
‘street, and. the women were placed
under arrest. The women testified
that they came here on a late train to.
see a friend, and not finding her, ac-
cepted of an 'inv1tati0n of some colored

Prosecuting Liquor flight. George A:
Honnecker ‘ added anot j_ r feather to-‘
his cap Saturday night by. pulling Ed-
.ward Gormley’s place at the 'corner of
Step Rock road and Prospect avenue.
For some months pastfcomplaint has
been. made that liquor was being sold
without a license at Gorinley’s grocery.
Such facts as could be gobtained were
secured by the prosecutuig agent, and
on Saiturday night the read was made.
Promptlyx at, 11 o’clock a carriage
containing agent Honnecker, constable
Howard, officer June, and, a represent-
ative of the GAzErrE. who had been as-
signed to accompany the party, drove
up Main street, across the New Canaan
bridge and down the Step Rock road
to a point a short distance above ' the
Gormley store. Here a stop was made
and the party alighted and walked
down the/hill to the grocery. As the
.party left the carriage a wagon was
seen in front of _Gormley’s, which such
turned around and proceeded down the
hill. The GAZETTE representative hur-
ried ahead and walked- beside this
wagon a short distance": and read the
Henry Elias Brewing company’s sign
on its side. ‘ ,_ .
As soon as everything was in .readig
ness constable Howard and oflicer J une
approached the door and Howard
knocked. A voice from the inside in-
quired, “Who’s there?” “It’s me,”
responded the constable. The door
was unlocked and cautiously opened
about two inches when both officers
pushed against it and forced it open.
A dark lantern carried ’by constable
Howard was flashed in the face of the
party who had opened the door and
Daniel Gormley was recognized. The
search warrant was being read when a
neise in thecorner attracted the offi-
cers’ attention and the light was turned
in that direction revealing Edward
Gormley sitting in a chair‘considerably-
under-the influence of liquor. . He was-
placcd under arrest by officer June.
Accompanied by the GAZETTE man ofli-
cer Howardentered iii-ear room and
found an improvised side board at-
tached to the Wall upon Which were a
bottle and demijohn of whisky. The
bottle was nearly empty, but the demi-.
john was full and its bottom cold and
wet as though it had but recently been
taken item an ice box.» In another
corner of the. room was a full keg of
lager beer with a' siphon hose inserted,
while in a box below were a number of
beer bottles, indicating that some one
had just started to fill them as the offi~
'cers arrived. Conspicuously on the
wall was\an United States internal reve-
nue retail licence issued to Daniel
Gormley, which was prime faciegevi-
demo that illicit liquor selling was be-
ing carried on in the building. Con-
stable Howard seeing adoor leading
into the celler open and a lighted lan-
tern standing on a box, directed his-at-
tention to that quarter and there found
three more kegs of. beer, which, to-
. gether with the whiskey, were confis-
cated and carried outside and deposited
on the‘ground. ‘ ’
On one end of the beer kegs was a
Weiner beer label over which was an-
other ]abel‘bearing the address of Mrs..
Katie Fahan, N orwalk, and the Elias
Brewing company’s card below. .They
were all nicely chilled and bore unmis-
takable evidence of having just left the
ice box. ’ ‘ ' ’
A Wagon was sent for and the seized
liquor was loaded aboaad and taken to
police headquarters.
Gormley was not locked .up as Judge
' ‘Austin accepteda $50 cash bond fur-
nished by Mrs. Gormley for his appear-
ance at court on. Monday. '
'When ‘the case was called before
Judge Austin this morning Gormley
pleaded guilty. and wits fined $40 and
costs, which he paid andwas discharged.

' The Law Still There.
The late General Assembly passed
the following la’w, entitled Chapter
ocxm: ' - '-
“Section 3105 of the General Statutes
is hereby repealed.” . .
The marginal note beside this reads :
“ One arrested as ‘ intoxicated need
_not disclose.”_ '
. , Section 3105 of the General Statutes
is the old “disclosure ” law that re-
quired a person who had been arrested
for intoxication to ..disclose where he '
got his liquor. So far .sogood. But
that section. 3105 is among statutes 6f
the 1888Vrevision. Now it happens that
in 1.899, says the Hartford Courant, the
Legislature passed a new. disclosure. law
which superseded that of .1888, and so ?

. His wife, for whom he always seemed to
have the most earnest devotion, died about
a year ago. A few months since Miss Pol-
lard, with whom he had often been seen in
public, announced that she was to he mar-
ried to him and went so far as to name the
date for the promised marriage. There
seemed, however. to be some mystery
about the . matter, and no great surprise
was felt when announcement was recently
made from Kentucky that Mr. Brcckin-
ridge was married to Mrs. Wing, a distant
relative and formerly a resident of St.
Louis. Society, however, was not prepared
for the thunderclap which burst upon them
today in the {announcement of Miss Pol-
.lard’s suit. -
The plaintiff charges that in April. 1884,
when she was 17 years old and a. student at
‘Wesleyan Female seminary in Cincinnati,
she met Mr. Breckinridge on the train,
traveling from school to Frankfort, Ky.,
where she had been called on account 0?
the illness of her sister. Breckiuridge
made her acquaintance on the plea of
knowing her family, and she was flattered
by his attentions, knowing who he was,
and regarding him as a prominent man.
On Aug. 3, 1884, he came to see her at
the seminary and got permission of the
president for her to dine with him, and by
wiles and artifices and protestations of
affection subsequently took advantage of
her’youth and inexperience.
Thebirth of two Children, who died, and
the. premature birth of' a. third child are
alleged as the result of this intimacy.
From time to time, the plaintifi alleges,
the date for the marriage was postponed
until, on July 18, Mr. Breckinridge mar-
ried another woman, Mrs. Louise, Wing of
Louisville. '
The plaintiff in the _case was for some
time an employee in one of the depart—
ments here, but, shortly after the death so!
General Sherman was dismissed, it was
said, for making a derogatory remark re?
specting theydead general. _ ,

and blackmail. . ' "'

EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
WASHINGTON, J one 9.
To His Eminence. Cardinal Gibbons:
Your; EMINENCE-Please permit me to trans-
mit through you to his holiness, Leo XIII, my
sincere congratulations on the occasion of the
golden jubilee of his episcopate. . ,
The pleasure attendingthis expression of my
felicitations is - much enhanced by the remem-
brance that his holiness has always manifested
a. lively interest in the prosperity of theUnited,
States and great admiration for our'politicul
. institutions.
I am glad to behave that these sentiments
are the natural outgrowth of the holy father’s
solicitude for the welfare and happiness of the
masses of humanity and his especial sympathy
for every__effort’_ made to dignify simple man-
hood and to promote the mural and social elo-
vation of those who toil. ' ,
The kindness with which his holiness lately
accepted a copy of the constitution of the
United States leads me to'suggest that, if it does
not seem presumption. it would please me ex-
‘ceedingly to place in his hands a book contain-
ing the official papers and documents written
by me during my previous term of 011100..
Yours very sincerely, . Gaovnn CLEvELAND.

In Illinois there is ‘a‘n old'lawoil, nib
nal cases the jury‘is “ udge cf'the aw.- .
as well as the facts”: . ough’nOt 'oft‘o'n
quoted, once in awhile a lawyer with
a desperate case makesuse of it. In one
case the judge instructed the jury'that
it was to judge the law aswell as the
facts, but added that it was not to judge
of the law unless it 'was'fully’satisfied
that it knew more law than the judge.
An outrageous verdict was. brought in, g
contrary to all instructions ‘of'the court, ' .
who felt called upon‘to‘rcbuke the jury.
At last one old farmer arose. ~ . '
“J edge,” said he, “weren’t we to jedge
the law as well as the facts?” ' j.
“Certainly,” was the response, “but
told you not to judge'the law unless you ;
were clearly satisfied that you knew the
law better than-I did.” 1 ' . ' ,
“Well, jedgc,” answered the farmer
as he shifted his quid, “we censldered
that p’int.”—Sa_n Francisco Argonaut, .'
Ono'Woman’s Courage.
A story is going the rounds of a little I
woman who was seated behind “a gor; .
geously dressed beauty at a theater in the
metropolis whosedballoon sleeves com-
pletely hid theistage from the victim in
the rear.» She"? sat on first one foot, then
the other. but in vain; no glimpse of the
pla'y could she; get. After a whispered
conversation with her husband came the
tragedy. Without a word of warning"
that wee woman quietly rose, gently but
firmly laid her; hands upon the winged
shoulders of her obtrusive neighbor and
pressed her green and red rufilesas far
down as theyiywou‘ld go. People who '
saw the operation ' gasped at the trans-
formation. The victim wisely accepted
the situation and remained in subjuga-
tion until the _“Pr’tjdigal Daughter” ig-
nominiously returned to the fatted» calf. ..
