The Gazette has/the largest sir--

and fur-rushes thSlOur'est advertlslnz

- '. VOur curloua farm.
In a-press interview, our CohgreSs-
man Sperry, ‘ of the-Hartford District,

' "makes,”the‘followi-ng‘apt 'and sensible

observations in reference to the subtle
'complicationsgfinvolved in a tariff bill.

. Itgoes to prove again the oldsaw, that.

the only satisfactory tarifi' measure
that canbe created, must be construct?
ed on the Yankeelmplau for his musket

“One hears a good deal about 'raw
'materials,’~’.' said Congressman Sperry,

. ‘ ‘and that brings up the question, “What

are raw'materials, anyway?’ ” - _
“It is very common to hear one say,
‘Take thetarifi' 'ofi‘ raw materials,’ but
let’s see what raw materials really are.
My district is one of the most perplex-
ingon the tariff question that can be:
found in the country. In New Britain

5 we manufacture'bfiilders’ hardware,
table cutlery, edged and carpenters’ ‘

tools. At Bristol and Perryville" we
turn out clocks by the thousand. The

i . largest silk mill in the world is situated

in my district. South Manchester is a
large carpet manufacturing place,while
at Rockville they turn out large quan-
tities of woolen goods. Then my dis-
trict is the great tobacco growing por-
tion of Connecticut. ,

“In New Britain pig iron is a raw:

iamaterial. , In Pittsburg it is a finished

product. ‘ After the farmer has raised
his sheep, cut the wool and scoured and
sacked it, it' is to him a finished pro-
duct and he demands protection'r‘there.

' on. But at *Rockville it is a raw mate-

rial, and the Rockville manufacturers
want to be protected from foreign
manufactures" "cf” finialied woolen goods.
In the tobacco“ district the leaf is a
finished product when it leaves the
grower's hands, so far as he is con-
cerned, but the cigar maker considers
it a raw material. And so, it is with
silk and countless other industries. :

“All New England wants is free iron
and steel and free ores, and would also
want free coal. But Pennsylvania
wants these so-called} raw materials
taxed,’because.wh'en they leave her
boundary they are finished as Itoher.
Out in the gfeat west andin the south
a different and antagonistic condition
of affairs is presented, for the people
out there have to ,buy the products 'of
the east. They are, therefore, nearly
all free-traders, for they: want to get
their stuff in" an open market as cheap
as they can buy it.

9‘ The sectional interests -_of this coun-
try are so diverse that it will beex-

" tremely difficult to agree upon a tariff
bill which will meet the approval offthe _

majority of the houses of Congress.
I look for the hottest kind of .a fight,
exceeding in earnestness and bitterness
the McKinley bill fight. For instance,

the government looses $54,000,000 ‘an- .

nually ofidutyion sugar alone. by mak-
ing sugar free, while we pay out ap-
proximately $10,000,000 as ,a bounty.
Here. is a loss to the government of
$64,000,000 on sugar alone, which the
people must make up in some form of
taxation. ' I doubt. however, whether
either party would dare to restore .the
two-cent duty, because sugar is a food
product that goes into every family,
and an increased tax would increase the
cost to the consumer, which might be
resented at the polls.”

Ma Sweet and Family._
A very successful and enjoyable en-
tertainment was given in the lecture

room of the Baptist church, Friday,

evening, under the auspices of the
Floral Circle of the King’s. The stage
was - tastefully decorated with flowers,
plants and trailing vines. A musical bur-

/l‘i3sque was presented by the Sweet fami- ~

ly. The family consisted of Ma Sweet
(Mrs. W. T. Taylor) and her daughters,
Caroline Cordelia, (Gertrude Lyon)
(an authoress) ‘and Dorothy Delilah,
(Birdie Beers) a‘ musician, both twins;
Araminta Ann, (Emma BeerS) prima
donna ; Betsey Belinda, (Emma Franke)
Women’s Rights lecturer; Elizabeth
Eliza, (Laura Frazier) dramatic recita-
tionist; Frances Fedora, (Susie Pink)
poet“ and little Gloriana Gadabout,
(J essie .Nesblt). _The costumes were
something starthng, and exhibited a
variety of tastes and extravagance that
must have almost crazed Ma Sweet.
All did splendidly in their several parts,
showing that although very dressy, the
girls were at the same time quite tal-
ented. Light refreshments were served
after the Sweet family had had their
say. Over twenty dollars was netted.

Tennls Tournament.
The final matches of the Fairfield
County Tennis tourner, at Bridgeport,

. were played yesteIday.‘ At.10:30 in the

morning everything was in readiness
for the last of the singles and the con-
testants Bryan a d McKelvey were
quickly in posrtion or play. It required
but three sets to decide the victor. It
was Bryan by this score, 6-2. 6-2, 7-5.
In the first double match McClave and

Carhart were more skillful with the

racket than their opponents, Hawley
and Hawley. After playing three sets
the former gentlemen won. Score, 641,
The afternoon double match was the
most interesting and exciting one of the
series. - Bryan and Wheeler played for

Bridgeport, and McCleavc and C. Car-l

hart for Greeenwmh.

.The two teams were about equally
matched, and as the visltors hada large
number of _ friends present to, watch
them they naturally 'made 'up their
minds to “do” the Bridgeporters. R01-
and Malorv was chosen umpire.

The first two sets were won by the
Greenwich team and they were wildly
cheered and applauded. That was or-
fectly proper and in good form, ut
when the third'setwas begun it was
noticeable that the good players of the
visitors brought out a storm of hand
clapping and that the good players of
the Bri geport team received no recog-
nition. This looked queer. Then when
the umpire gave What some claimed, a
rank decision against Bridgeport, it
looked still queerer. Finally the ,um-
pire gave such an unmistakable rank
decision against Bridgeport that a gen-
tleman in the audience called him down
publicly. The waters demanded “no
outside" interference. This open re-
buke to the umpire caused to be rallied
around him a bevy of fair'ones who
whispered among themselves and said :
“Let’s applaud Greenwich and bias
BridgepOrt. It Wlll rattle them."

Then followed clapping and hisses ac-
cording to agreement and instead of
rattling Wheeler it only made him
laugh and Bryan toremark, “I have
played in tournamentsthis summer in

Saratoga, Newport and Bar Harbor

but nowhere have-1 received such treat-
ment as this.”

It was decided by some of the urn-
pire’s friends that “if Greenwich wins
let’s cheer like everything,” but to
their dismay Bryan and Wheeler won
the'next three sets ,.w1th_‘a_rush. Those
who had favored.- Greenwich. looked
crushed and the friends: of the Bridge-

port players warmly congratulated them-

The score was: 13-6. 3716, 623, 652, 6.2.

 

lH-E Bluegill CASE.

Judge Hall Amends His Findings in
the Case.

To Be Tried In the Supreme Court.

 

At the request of the attorneys for
the defendant, Judge J. M. Hall,of the
Superior court has made an additional

'findin‘ in the case of Lizzie T. Barnes

vs. Wi liam H.'Starr and others,recent-
ly decided by the court in favor of the
plaintiff. '
The suit was for the setting aside of
an ante-nuptial marriage contract and
involved some questions which had’not
before arisen in courts, of . this state.

[The knotty nature of the questions in

issue is indicated by the fact that Judge
Hall’s finding was not made until about:
eight months after theshearing in court
was closed. . .

Lizzie T..Oartwright, of‘Norwalk, at
the age of 45 married Samuel H. Barnes,
a‘wealthy 75 year old widower, of Wil-
ton. Miss Cartwright at the time of her
marriage was a maiden lady. The first
Mrs. Barnes .died in September, 1884.1
Barnes met Miss Cartwright about five
months after his first wife’s death and
thereafter _for a year and a halfwdoed
her most Industriously. He proposed
marriage less than a year after the death.
of the .first Mrs. Barnes, giving Miss
Cartwright to understand that if she
would consent to quit single blessedness
for his sake, he would remove from his
Wilton farm to Norwalk and establish
her in a_ comfortable, in fact somewhat
pretentious home. Miss Cartwright
vainly endeavored to resist her aged
lover’s_blandishments,and in the month
after his proposal consented to give ’up
her hand and heart to him.

About_a month after the engagement
of marriage was entered into Barnes
one day told his fiancee that his rela-
tives, who consisted principally of some
half a dozen nephews, were much put
out at the thought of his marrying her,
or 1n fact any other woman. They said
that she was only marrying him for. his
money. To prove that they were
wrong, he suggested that Miss Cart-
wright for a consideration of, $5,000 to
be paid at her husband’s decease, sign
a waiver of her dower rights in his es-
tate. Said Barnes: -

_ “I den’t believe that you have any
idea of marrying me for my money,
but I would like this, so that I can show
it to them; they feel so badly about
my marrying you, and I want to con-
vmce them that you are no such person
and you can have confidence in me that
I_w111 destroy it as soon as we are mar-
ried.” -

Barnes also showed Miss Cartwright
an anonymous letter which he thought
come from Nelson B. Gorham’s folks.
Gorham married a daughter of Barnes
by the first Mrs. Barnes. ‘

Mrs. Barnes testified in court that
under fraudulent representations made
by Barnes that he was not worth more
than 315,000, When. as a matter of fact
he was worth nearly $100,000, and that
he would destroy the contract after
marriage, she signed the ante-nuptial
agreement. After Barnes’ death Mrs.
Barnes brought suit to have the agree-
ment set aside in order that the way
might be open for her to contest Mr.
Barnes’ will, by which most of his
property was left to his nephews. Mrs.
Barnes testified that several times her
husband told her that he had destroyed
the contract and that it was not until a
short time before his“ death that she
discovered he had deceived her. ' Barnes
and Miss Oartwri ht-were married in
.ilsiggust, 1886, and arnes died April 23,

The case was stubbornly contested,
States AttOrney Fessenden and Good-
wm Stoddard appearing for Mrs-
Barnes, and Samuel Tweedy and Judge
Brewster, both of Danbury,‘ for the
defendants. The latter endeavored to
prove that the plaintiff had not been
the victim of fraudulent representa-
tions; that she knew the amount of Mr.-
Barnes’ wealth and knew also that the
marriage contract had not been de-
stroyed. In other words, that with her
eyes wide open and fully conscious of
the effect of such an agreement she
signed the waiver of her dower rights.

After the attorneys for the plaintiff
had’ rested her case, the defendants’;
counsel moved the court that all evi-

dence offered by the plaintiff regard-.

ing her husband’s promise to destroy
the marriage contract he not consid-
ered by the court, on the ground that
as a matter of law it is not a fraud to
make a promise not to.carry out an
agreement of any kind, and that, there-
fore, all evidence concerning the prom-
ise to destroy the contract should be
stricken out. This the court declined
to do, stating that there was no author-1-
ty in this state for such a procedure.
To this ruling the defendants excepted.
The additional finding now made by
Judge Hall is to include in the engine]
finding the testimony of Alexander
Barlow, one of the nephews. Barlow
testified that-during Mr. Barnes’ fatal
illness the plaintiff had said to him,
while driving him to the railroad sta-
tion, discussing, at the sometime the
possibility of her husband’s death: .
“Well, you boys shall have a mes
little sum, but Ishall have a more noth-

in .” .
Judge Hall has also, at the request

of Attorneys Tweedy and Brewster,
made some other testimony considered
by these attorneys as favorable to their
side of the case, part of his finding as
well as a number of claims of law
which were submitted in argument, but
notwithstanding which the court found A
judgment for the plaintiff. The .obJeet
in securing tlfie additional finding is to
strengthent e appeal by the defend-
ants to the Supreme Court. The parties
to the action are well known through-
out Fairfield county, particularly in
and around Bridgeport, Danbury and
Norwalk, and the decision: of 'the-Su-é

,reme Court will be awaited with more '

Interest than ordinarily attaches -.1 to

cases; in the civil courts. .'It-is- fa’irto’ 15.1.5 ‘quires‘; _ .

say that many of. the leading nmenibe’rs

.off the bar of this county whoha've'fpll-
lowed‘the lease with an inter‘estywhich '

 

. .o.

 

though professional, is-as great as that
of- others whose interest is of a differ-
ent nature, ore diyidedin their opin-
ions concerning some of the important
questions .to be passed upon by the
hlghest legal tribunal: in the state.

The Supreme Court will by its find: ‘
