Joe Lockwood last week near the Knob,

by Landlord Hall.
A report is current in this city today
that Thomas Goodwin, a cigar maker,
was stopped by two men on Cedar street
last night, who demanded his money at
the point of a pistol. As Goodwin
could not be found the report could
not be verified.
Joseph Genzey was arrested Sunday
night on complaint of his wife, for be-
ing drunk and breaking the furniture
and dishes in his domicile. This morn-
ing before Justice Barrett John denied
the charge and his case was continued
until this afternoon.
An alarm of fire from box 3 shortly
after 5 o’clock Sunday morning, called
the fire department to the barn in the
rear of C. 'F. Tolle’s residence on Havi-
land street. When the department ar-
rived they found thc fire confined to
the upper floor of the barn. Two
streams of water were soon turned
upon the burning building and the fire
extinguished. but not before the roof
and upper portion of the structure had
been destroyed. A number of window
sashes stored in the upper floor were
also burned. How the fire started is a
mystery and the only theory is that
some one had gone in the barn to sleep,
as it has been Mr. Tolles’ habit to leave
the door unlocked and as they were leav-
ing had lighted a pipe and dropped the
match upon the: floor. There was no
insurance on the building.
On Saturday Constable Ireland went
to Ridgefield and arrested Chester A.
Peek, on the charge of bigamy, and
brought him to this city, where he was
given a hearing before Justice Barrett
in the afternoon and bound over to the
superior court under $500 bonds. Be-
ing unable to secure a bondsman Chief
Vollmer took him to Bridgeport jail.
On August 14, 1886, Peck married Miss
Louise D. Robinson at Danbury. In
1889 he left his wife and went to Bethel
to work on a farm. There he met Miss
Lulena M. Bassett, the seventeen-year-
old daughter of S. E. Bassett. . In July
of that year Peck and the girl ,were
married. A short time ago, during a
quarrel with his wife, Peck dropped a
remark which gave her the impression
that he had been married before. She
told her suspicions to her parents, who
are now living in this city, and the
father decided to investigate. He called
on Peck and accused him of having
committed bigamy. Peck denied it.
Then Bassett and Mrs. Peck No. 2
went to Danbury and by consulting
the town records learned of Peck’s
previous marriage.
Peck admitted both marriages and
stated that he had heard that his first
wife was dead before getting married
the second time, but did not take the
trouble to find out whether it was true
or not.
FEES OF CLERKS.
Bill to Regulate an Abuse in Govern-
mont Courts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-—Mr. Wolverton,
of Pennsylvania, from the committee on
the judiciary, has reported to the house a
bill prepared by the committee relating to
fees of clerks and other officers of the
United ' States courts. The measure
makes the fees charged in naturalization
cases uniform, and requires officers in
executing warrants to take the prisoners
to the nearest otlicer qualified to give a
hearing and admit the defendant to bail.
This is intended to break up the practice
Of taking persons arrested to certain com-
-missioners having an ofllcc at a’ distance
from the place of arrest and ignoring com-
missioners near at hand for the purpose of
making fees against the government.

until there had been =~ an opportunity to
communicate with members from adis-
tance. He has been formally released and
