The Same Old Story.
On Sunday, December 3, 1893, con-
stable Samuel Ireland and Daniel Mc-
Intyre, armed with a writ furnisned by
Prosecuting Liquor Agent George A.
Honnecker, visited the Gormley saloon
at the corner of Prospect avenue and
Step Rock Road and seized two kegs
and two empty beer cases. Edward
Gormley and Daniel J. Gormley were
arrested. Owing to the illness of Ed-
ward Gormley he was released on his
own recognizance to appear on Tues-
day December 5, but Daniel J. was
placed under $100 bonds by Justice
Austin to appear at the same time.
When the case came up for hearing it
was adjourned, after which itdisap-
peared entirely.
An inquiry at the office of the Justice
as to what had become of the case elic-
ited the information that it was thought
the case had been settled. This morn-
i ng Prosecuting Agent E onnecker con-
firmed the statement.
At the time of the raid the two kegs
seized contained a quantity of beer,
and hanging on the wall of the raided
saloon was an United States license is-
sued to Daniel J. Gormley, which the
law says, “shall be pr-ima facic evidence
that said liquors are kept by said per-
son with intent to sell the same.”
Why these liquor cases were settled,
especially as they were the second of-
fense requiring a jail sentence, the GA-
ZETTE is unable to understand, but as
as Sam W'eller would say, “It ar’ a co-
incidence.”
There arc entirely too many liquor
cases quietly settled up in NOrwalk and
vicinity, and it will be better for all
concerned to either discontinue the
seizures or let the honest light of day
in upon their finis.
- A“..- _.
The Fayerwhether Millions.
The lawyers seem to be having an-
other inning in the Fayerwhether case
and the executors do not seem to shine
brilliantly on account of their self-ab-
negation. Enough has been shown,
however, to satisfy most anyone that
Mr. Fayerwhether had philanthropic
intentions towards numerous colleges.
Probably, like many business men, he
hadduring his life-time, sneercd at colleg
es and college education, but like many
other men with similar views he had
relented and endeavored to atone for
his {sneers by a legacy. The Tilden
case, and the one under consideration,
ought to servers an object lesson to in-
tending benefactors. Here were two
men with generous intentions but one
has been, and the other is likely to be
foiled in their benefactions. Had Mr.
Tilden or Mr. Fayerwhether donated
their money in trust while living, or
even gave it, reserving the income,they
would have been sure their bounty-ship
had reached her appointed haven, but
they preferred to make. wills and now
the ingenuity of lawyers has, or threat-
ens to undo their work. These exam-
ples, however, will pass unheeded and
the benevolent will continue to do in
the futurc,as they have done in the past,
make wills that cannot run the gauntlet
of the courts. Human nature is queer
stull", and notwithstanding its myriad
forms and shapes, it can be depended
upon to periodically do the fool act
whether bequeathing money, or bet-
ting on a horse race.
California’s Turn.
Minimized somewhat by the not—easi-
ly-forgotten World’s Columbian Expo-
sition, but, nevertheless, a notably
great undertaking, the California Mid-
winter Exposition is nowa deserving
candidate for public patronage. It is
a characteristicproduct‘ of that great
state“ which was earth’s loadstone near-
ly fifty years ago, and which, since the
cleaning up of its free gold, has achieved
prosperity such as could not come
through mineral wealth alone. With
product, it has moved toWard agricul-
tural, horticultural and viticultural su-
premacy with astonishing speed, and in
much that pertains to the comfort and
welfare of the nation is now acknow-
ledged to be without a rival. Its
atmosphere conduces to wonderful
growth, and from the magnificent se-
quoia of Marimosa to the léast conspic-
uous growth in a truck-garden the Cali-
fornia product is marked by its abnor-
mal size. It is not, therefore, surpris-
ing that the' people of such a state
should build up and make beautiful
and operative such an exposition as
that which was formally opened on Sat-
urday. Commencing just five months
ago, the management has succeeded in
eclipsing all similar efforts save only
that which added to Chicago’s fame.
The Midwinter Exposition is not a
state fair, nor is it devoted to exclusive-
ly extolling the glories of the Pacific
coast; it has many international fea-
tures, and is creditable not only to
those whose money and energy are re-
sponsible for its creation, but to the
nation of which the golden state is so
properly-conspicuous a part.

The Humane Society.
The annual meeting of the Connecti-
cut Humane society was held in Hart-
ford on Wednesday, Rodney Dennis
presiding. The report of Secretary
Chandler E. Miller showed that during
the year 878 men, women ard children
and 4,115 animals had been relieved by
the agents of the society. Five hun-
dred and thirty-seven animals, includ-
mg 355 horses, have been killed. There
have been 132 prosecutions, which re-
sulted in 120 convictions, and 1,189 warn-
ings have been given. Treasurer Ralph
W. Cutler’s report showed receipt-s, in-
cluding the state appropriation of
$2,000, of $10,036, and the balance on
had 3739. There are 1,878 members of
various grades of membership, 525 of
whom are active annual members. The
facts in alleged cruelty to 396 children
have been investigated. The secre-
tary’s report states that the disease
called glanders is increasing through-
out the state, and it is estimated that
$80,000 worth of horSefiesh has been
sacrificed to that disease during the
year. Proper-legislation and one-half
of $30, 000 used to exterminate the dis-
ease would clear the country of it.
Eighty-five glandcred horses have been
destroyed during the year, and several
lives have been lost by poisons being
innoculated with the disease.

Louis Palm ochw Haven, a young
man aged about seventeen, has just
fallen heir to a fortune of nearly $100,-
000. The bequest was made by the
young man’s uncle, Charles Palm, of
San Francisco. ~
A man named Henry Jacobs, labor-
ing under the hallucination that he is a
defaulter, was caught in the woods at
Bedding in a demented condition. He
had been at large in that vicinity for
about a week but managed to escape
capture. His home is in Orange, N. J.,
and his friends have removed him to
that place.
Several statues were found to be
missing from the lawns of several of
\West Haven’s prominent citizens. "A
detective finally found them in rooms
of Yale students. No arrests have
been made. The Yale boys say they
simply wished to borrow the articles to
ornament their rooms for teas given to
friends during promenade week, and
would have returned them today
surely.
