Later Returns From Alabama; We are beginning. to get' the home comments on the World’s recent “’poll” of Alabama, and not surprised to find that they fall very short of confirming the World’s estimate of its own per- formance. The following from the Montgomery Journal is to the point: ‘ ‘The Huntsville Mercury is right. Few persons believe that the .New York. World received sixty reports from Ala- bama on the silver question. The whole thing is a fake. It may have and doubt- less did receive a few, perhaps a dozen replies; but the efforts to make it ap- pear that the people of Alabama are in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law is farcical. The New York World is given to faking. Every read- er remembers how the New York Sun some time ago showed that it was writ- ingrits own foreign letters in its own of- fice. The eXpose of the Sun was com- plete, leaving no room to doubt the Sun’s charges. The telegrams,purport— ing to come from Alabama,in the World,‘ read like they were written in the World ofiice also. In fact the descriptions of the towns from which the alleged re- ports ars said to have come were taken bodily from Ayer & Son’s or, Rowell’s newpaper annualJfor 1892.” ‘We feel pretty'vfsure, and took coca-l sion to say so at the time,says the Wash- ington Post, that Senators Morgan and Pugh, to say nothing of the entire dele- gation in the House, excepting only. one, , might be trusted to know more about the sentiment of the state of Ala- bama than the young men in the World office who, with the aid of the paste-pot and the shears, concocted that prepos- terous and impudent census. The World’s figures on Alabama were of a kind with its figures on Virginia. That paper neither new nor cared anything about the facts. It sought, simply, to present a. showing favorable to its cause, and, by drawing on some news- paper annual and its own never failing nerve, it proceeded to’do so. That is the way the World usually prepares its special information for great occasions, and that is why it rev- els in the respect and confidence of in"- telligent people. —————4 .. p———.__——.._.. CAPITOL NOTES. Congressman De Forest, who is ever on the alert to serve his constituents, presented a pa er from the Stamford 'J icorice Mills, xWednesday, to the Ways and Means Committee, to be incorpor- ated as a part of the arguments per- sonally made by Col. Skiddy and John H. 1¥JGCCS before the Committee last wee . 0n consultation the Ways and Means Committee refused to extend the time first agreed upon for hearings, and shut down on all further arguments late Wednesday night,-and now the real work of drawing up and putting in shape the bill which is to form the newtariff law will be at once com- menced. For sixteen days the Committee has 7 heard the representatives of protected industries and of the im .ortei‘s of pro- tected goods from 19 _’clock in the morning until 5 or 6 o'clock at night. More time has been devoted by the resent Committee to these hearings ban has ever before been given by any revious committee. During this time, oo, arguments have been presented on most of the schedules likely to be af- fected by the new legislation. Under these circumstances the demo- cratic members of the Committee felt that they were justified in abiding by the original terms of the resolution limiting the hearings, and no other delegations will be received. Chairman Wilson said Wednesday morning that the work of draftingthe bill would be commenced at once. The “blind preacher,” ex- House Chaplain Milburn, is to preach at Grace M. E. Church, Bridgeport, next Sunda . It would well repay a trip from >,orwalk to hear thi eloquent Rev. Doctor of Divinity.

B. .——~<o Burglary. The saloon of John Q’Sullivau on Wall street was burglarizcd some time be- tween 12 last night, and 6:30 o’clock this morning. The burglars gained an entrance by climbing up on to a stoop at the rear of the saloon and cutting out a pane of glass 25x15. They broke open the money drawer but secured only a dollar or two in pennies. They also helped themselves to cigars but ,to what extent Mr. O’Sullivan is unable to tell. When he left last night at 12 o’clock everything was all right. He says that the burglars were careful to not get cut as they took even the small , q iiiege of glass out of the frame. - He is ~ strolled thatgtlie‘ burglary was commit- _ ted by someone ".well acquainted with the ”premises. ‘ ' » ‘ 1 ’_ ' ing been Committed in t TERSE TALES or THE TIMES.

Traced From New York to Bridged port. Where He is Captured. Wednesday afternoon Detective Ed- ward Cronan, of Bridgeport, captured a man in that‘cit that Chief Vollmer, of South .Norwa k, has been looking for ever since the stores of Sturtevant, Bodwell and Cuneo were entered on the night _of Saturday, September 9. His name is Frank Kimball and he and his two sisters were employed in the Corset factory about six years ago and his mother kept a boarding house on Monroe street, South Norwalk. The clue which led to Kimball’s ar- rest was found in Cunéo’s store the morning after the burglary. en Mr. Cuneo opened his store on Sunday morning he found a pair of kid glows and a handkerchief. On one corner of -. ,. . handkerchief was a laundry mark, ich when shown to Mr. Lounsbury, the laundryman at South N orwalk, was identified by him as the mark of the Washington laundry in Bridgeport. Chief Vollmer on the following morn. ‘ing took the 6:10 a. m train for Bridge~ port, and in company with ofi‘icer Finn Visited the laundry and ascertained that a young man named Frank Kim- ball w s the owner- of the handkerchief, and t at the morning previous to the robberies had called and taken a large number of pieces away, which he had left to be laundried. The next thing was to find Frank Kimball. - Chief Vollmer returned to South Norwalk and went to work to unravel the mys- tery of the robbery. He soon ascer- tained that two girls by that name had been employed at the Corset factory about six years ago and that a brother named Frank had also been employed there. He next traced the family to New York state where it was learned that some gears ago‘Frank and a com- panion ha . held up a farmer and had been arrested and served a term in jail for_ the offense. trail the chief ascertained that the fam- ily had removed from New York state and were living in Bridgeport. Hav- ing located the family the Chief com- mumcated with the Bridgeport police, but Frankwas unknown to them. few days after the Chief found a party who knew Kimball and had seen him in South Norwalk on the day of the robberies, and also had his Bridgeport address. _ Provided with this the Chief again Visited Bridgeport, and in com- pany with Detective Cronan of that city, Visited the Post Office pool. room on Bank streetqbutfailed- to find their man. Detective Cronan “then took charge of the Bridgeport end with the result that Kimball was arrested in the pool room \Vednesday afternoon and brought to South Norwalk later in the .day by Chief Vollmer and locked up. When arrested Kimball denied all knowledge of the. burglaries and at: tempted to draw a revolver on the de- tective, but was quickly disarmed. When searched at police headquarters one Of the revolvers stolen from Stur- tevant’s was found, also a diamond glass cutter and a canvas bag evidently used as a sand bag. . The prisoner confessed to Chief Voll- mer that he had robbed J. W. Miller’s machine factory, Bennett & Husted, BodWell, Cuneo and Sturtevant. He said that he alone robbed Bennettdr Husted, entering .the market at about nine o’clock by Jumping over E. A. Woodward’s brick wall and'climbing in over the fan light, securing $92 in cash. When be robbed Miller’s factory he was also alone and had applied to Mr. Miller for work a few hours before burglarizmg the place. When the oth- er robberies were committed Kimball says he was accompanied by a young man called Charley, whom he had met in the Y. M. C. A. rooms in New York; that they entered Sturtevant’s about 10.30 o’clock, shortly after the store was locked up; and that his partner rebbed Cuneo’s about 12 o’clock, while he remainedoutside and watched officer Conley, who was patrolling his beat near the Mahackemo hotel. They en- tered Bodwell’s store immediately after leaving Sturtevant’s, about 11 o’clock. Kimball is absut 22 years of age, good looking and dresses in the height of fashion. . When brought before Justice Bar- rett this morning Kimball pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and was bound over to the Superior Court un- der $2,000 bonds. . ~ When removed to a cell in the lock- up Kimball weakened and agreed to plead guilty to entering Bodwell’s and Bennett & -Husted’s. He was again taken before the Justice and changed his plea on these two counts to guilty, but on examination by Attorney Tay- lor he implicated himself in all of the burglaries and was found guilty and bound over under the same amount of on . - Chief Vollmer deserves a great deal of credit for the able manner in which be secured the arrest of Kimball, and the assistance rendered him by ofiicer Gladstone and the rest of, the force is also highly commendable. - The story of the robberies as told by Kimball in court this morning clearly exonerates the South Norwalk police from the charge of neglect of duty, which. the people of that city have been too“ ready to heap upon them. He stated that when Sturtevant’s store was entered it was about 10:30 o’clock and he was standing in front of Pod: more’s and watched officer Ireland pa- trolling his boat ready to give his pal the signal. When Cuneo’s was entered he stood upon . the depot platform watching ofiicer Conley, and when Bodwell’s was entered he stood watch while his companion broke in. As the burglaries were committeedubetween 9 and 11:30 o’clock the police were all on their long beats and it was an easy mat- for' the thieves to evade them. i-‘i . Kimball was tak the noon by Clust- Vollmer. — ' - Still following the“ State Shots- , .Mrs. Deborah Overton is dead in Bridgeport, aged 80 years. ment, C. V., will be held to do-day.

Wednesday afternoon he boarded a tramway car to ride to .South Norwalk, standing on the foot-rail. He stooped to pick up a handkerchief which had been dropped by a lady, and losing his balance, fell from_ the car into the street, striking heavrly on his shoulder. He was assist- ed to the side of the street, where he shortly after recovered sufficiently to board a car and ride to his destination. ——-———<+ illegal Sale of lntoxloants. ..-.... “in, arrested an Italian named J osep‘ Morrow, Wednesday evening.

Rules of the ring were not regarded, the men being permitted to pound each other.wrthout hindrance; At' the en -'of<th'e second round there was a‘fight among the spectators, but matters were quieted down finally, and after fifteen minutes the fighters faced each other again.

Much of County Commissioner Row- land’s time recently, as well as that of High Sherifi' Clarkson, has been taken up‘by the importunities of friends and relatives of persons confined in the county jail whom the former are desir- ous to have released before their fines are worked out. It is very rarely that these officials find a case where such clemency is deserved, yeteach applica- tion is as carefully regarded as though it were founded upon thebest of claims. Usually these appeals are deferred until the particular prisoner in use— tion has served the sentence of de 'nite imprisonment recorded against him by the court, and is about to begin work- ing out the fine, which is a usual part of the punishment inflicted in ofiences for which a term in jail is demanded. By letter and otherwise through the prisoner’srelatives,andperhaps through really a deserving fellow, that the sen- tence of imprisonment was ample in atonement for the offence, and gene- rally that the prisoner’s former posi- tion is waiting for him, conditioned upon his immediate release. Occasionally good reasons are found for complying with such a request, but oftener not. o>——————-. Amusements. MUSIC HALL.

Very few persons, while recognizing the commercial value of the telephone, will dispute the assertion that for a small machine it is capable of provok. ing more pirofanity—and of a more vigr orous qua ty—ifrom humanity than can any other implement of ten times. its dimension. But it was left to a Dela- ware woman at Dover to discover that the telephone is capable of even great- er mischief. In her efforts to carry on a conversation her jaw became para- . lyzed. The “hello” girl should accept this calamity as an awful warning, and profit by it. . _ ' _ o. _— ' Has the Diphtheria. 'A lad about 14 years of age, brought . the following interesting item to this office, this morning : “Sadie. the eleven year old daughter of John Dowd, is very sick with that dread disease. diphtheria. at her home, 132 Main street.” The bOy said the little girl was his sister. .A telephone message to the at- tending physician confirmed the truth of the item and elicited the further fact that he was net prepared to say as to whether .the place had been quaran— tined or not. Probably the boy, who seemsto be a bright, gentlemanly little ' fellow. is attending one of the .public schools to-day. If he has come in con- tact with the disease this should not be permitted. Furthermore the house ought to be quarantined to prevent _a spread of the dangerous malad . This is the same house where the. enuedy children were sick with the disease.
