Another Error.

The Sentinel on Wednesday pub-
lished an itemized statement from the
Selectmen’s books, of the cost of es-
tablishing and. conducting the evening
schools. Among the items appears the
payment of $15.50 to the GAZETTE on
January 13th, for advertising the even.
ing schools.

While we do not wish to appear as
criticising the correctness of the Sc-
lectmen’s books, yet we are constrained
to say that 37.50 of the order for $15.50
was for advertising the annual town
business meeting and had nothing
whatever to do with the expenses of
running the evening schools.

An Opportunity.

The payment by the Selectmen to
Editor Maples of $500 for his premature
efforts to establish evening schools, af-
fords some one a fine opportunity to
immortalize himself or herself.

We know of no fitter person to bear
aloft the gonfalon of reform than ex-
Burgess McMullen. Mr. McMullen- is
a gentleman of leisure, and no one cer-
tainly professes a. deeper concern for
the public weal than the sage of Frank-
lin avenue. Arise, Billy, shake your-
self. Go to Stamford and lay this piece
of iniquity before State’s Attorney Fes-
senden, and don’t you return until you
have an indictment or a quo warranto
in your inside pocket. I

Fast Day Proclamation.

We are in receipt of the following
Fast day proclamation, issued by Gov-
ernor Morris Tuesday afternoon:

“ I hereby appoint Friday, the twen-
ty-third day of March, as a day of
fasting and prayer.‘

It has been the custom of the people

of this commonwealth for many years
to observe this day by meeting in their

 

 

. places of public worship and invoking

the blessings of Heaven upon this
country. The minds of the people
seem so greatly at variance concerning
the things needful for their happiness,
that it would be well for them to con-
tinue the custom of observing this day,
and in their invocations say, ‘0 J esu
hominum salvator,’ with Thy gracious
light illumine the minds Of Thy chil-
dren, who, groping in darkness, are
unable to see the truth when it is pre-
sented to them. (Signed)
. Luzon B. Mourns.”

The proclamation is attracting con-
siderable attention on account of the
somewhat unusual wording. We con-
fess that we are at a loss to understand
what meaning its language intends to
convey.

If the Governor had the idle work-
ingmen, who are thronging our streets,
in his mind’s eye when he indicted the
paragraph, ‘the minds of the people
seem so greatly at variance concerning
the things needful for their happiness,
he struck it just right, for as a matter
of fact the workingman and his family
have not had much happiness since last
Fast day. We take issue with him.
however, as to their being at variance
concerning the things ncedful for their
happiness, as they are a unity for work,
which gives them the desired happiness.

As to ‘ groping in darkness,’ and be-
ing ‘ unable to see the truth,’ we again
take issue with the Governor, for we
believe that they all see the truth as
well as their closed factories, and will
profit by it in the future.

Taken altogether the proclamation is
the strangest one yet sent out by 8. Con-
necticut Governor.

Many Want the Plum.

. There is quite a flurry in Greenwich
just now about the Postmastership.
Half a dozen candidates are in the
field, and each has a considerable fol-
low1ng._ Postmaster Rich’s term has
not expired, but it soon will, and he is
kept busy now contradicting rumors
that he is about to retire so that a demo-
crat may step into his official shoes
right away. Geo. Boles has the back.
ing of all the democratic Town Com.
mittee except one member. Ex-Post-
master Fitzgerald is backed by the
Grand Army of the Republicand‘many
solid men of both parties. James Hag-
gerty, George E. Wilson and several
other democratic statesmen are among
the dark horses. The general senti-
ment in Greenwich is that the present
postmaster should be allowed to serve
out his term,but in the meantime Green-
wmh will be in hot water, and Congress-
man De Forest will have. anothe bur-z
densome care upon his mind.

Husband and Wife Arraled Against
Each Other.

Baby Gerald the Cause of the Fam-
ily Trouble.

Husband and wife are arrayed against
each other in the civil superior court
room and the children of both have
testified to the details of their father’s
assaults upon their mother, becasue of
which the mother now sues for-a decree
of divorce, alleging intolerable cruelty.
The husband is Michael F. Walsh of
Norwalk. The wife is Mary F. Walsh
of N orwalk.

When Michael met his wife her name
was Mary Baker, and she had one child
by her first husband. Dublin, Ireland,
was where the marriage took_ place, in
1892. The Walshcs came to this country
and Mrs. Walsh supplied a small sum of
money with which Walsh was able to
get a patent cooking utensil manufac-
tured and a small army of agents selling
it. At the time he had 290 men steadily
at work. Before the Walshes fairly un-
derstood the fact they had saved $5,000.
Then they got money enough to buy the
old Cole place in South Norwalk, for
which they paid nearly $8,000 and took
the title deeds jointly.

Several children were born to them,
and a few months ago the last baby,
Gerald, was born.

Baby Gerald is the direct cause of
this sad family quarrel. Last August
when Gerald was seven months old,

- Mr. Walsh came in and found Gerald

crying. He regarded the child with
a father’s eye and concluded that it
was hungry. Mrs. Walsh was just
going Out. He ordered her to remem-
ber hcr maternal instincts and stay in
and nurse the baby. So the horrible
row that followed in which Mr. Walsh
struck Mrs. Walsh. kicked her, tore her
back hair out of kink and her spring
bonnet in shreds and threatened to
shoot his sister-iu-law, all came out of
the simple fact that Mrs. Walsh
wouldn’t nurse the baby. Gerald was
in court and acting as if he did not
know what it was all about, while the
story of the domestic tragedy was told
by Mrs. Annie Murphy, the sister-in-
law, Annie Baker, the plaintiff’s pretty
16-year-old daughter by‘her first bus-
band, 11-year-old Lillie Walsh, one of
the children by this marriage, and a
number of other witnesses, including
Mrs. Walsh, who was on the stand
nearly all day yesterday. '_
Through her lawyers Attorney Light
and Attorney Taylor of South Nor-
walk, the plaintiff has attached her hus-
band’s property to the amount of $15,—
000 on a claim for alimony.
The-defendant’s lawyers, Attorney
Walsh and Attorney Russell Frost of
South N orwalk, put in a general denial
of the plaintiff’s allegations. Walsh
.alleges that his wife made extravagant
expenditures and was not and is not a
fit person to care for the children.
Prior to this time he advertised in
the Norwalk papers that he would be
responsible for no bills contracted by‘
her. She charged him with non sup
port, but he was acquitted. Three of
the children Walsh kept at school in a
cOnvcnt in"Canada. At the-October
term, principally on the evidence of
his ’wil‘e he was sentenced to three
months in jail for assaulting John Rey-
nolds. The assault upon Reynolds was
because Walsh supposed that Reynolds
had been uttering statements reflecting
On the chastity of Mrs. Walsh.
The evidence for the petitioner closed
on Wednesday, and to-day the testi-
mony for the defence is being'heard:

- Mr. Porter Courts Her.

Timothy H. Porter of Stamford,
who is an applicant for the hand of
Miss Belle Earle of Bridgeport, who it
is said likes the title of “Lady Belle,”
arrived in that city this morning, ac-
companied by his valet and made a
call on his fiancee. The carriage drove
to the residence of Dr. C. N. Haskell
on Washington avenue. ‘

Dr. Haskell was seen by a reporter,
says the Standard, and said that Miss
Earle was not at his home. He said
that she was not in the habit of visit-
ing there and had never held any meet-
ing with Mr. Porter there. It was
whispered that the visit was in relation
to the recent offer made by the heirs
to Miss Earle giving her $25,000 in lieu
of any other claim she might have
after marriage upon his estate.

Mr: Porter, it is understood, is in-

fatuated with Miss Earle and despite
the conditions she professes a love for
him. It 'is understood they will be
married at an early date.
Attorney Olmstead of Stamford, who is
Mr. Porter’s adviser, wasin town. When
asked the object of Mr. Porter’s visit
be said he was just on a little courting
expedition and nothing more.

A Ticket Scalper Held.
John Bloom of Stamford is confined
in .jail in Bridgeport, having been
bound over on the charge of receiving
stolen goods. Bloom conducts a ticket
scalper agency and it was ascertained
that he received a large number of tick-
ets stolen by Conductor‘Lahey of the
N. Y. N. H. & H. railroad. The latter
is now serving a jail sentence escaping
a long term of confinement in the state
prison by refunding nearly $1,000 to the
company
After a careful investigation it was
ascertained that through Bloom these
stolen tickets were negotiated upon the
market The tickets were sold at a dis-
count as are all scalper tickets and large
returns were secui ed.
Bloom succeeded in securing $500
bonds but later was surrendered by his
bondsman as it was feared he would
leave the state. He is awaiting trial in
the superior court. ~

county. '

thaniel E., Helen C., and Fanny L.”

- _ Decoy Ducks.
Letter carrier George N ickerson was

nesday. He engaged three live geese of
Letter carrier John Haley, and went to
Mr. Haley’s house after them. They
were nicely packed in a covered basket.
George started home with the basket
on his arm, and as he heard no signs of
life from the basket he lifted the cover
and found the basket to contain three
wooden decoy ducks. He has been
just a little bit mad ever since the tran-
section.

Alleged Threatening, Language by a Japa-
nese Captain. .‘
SYDNEY, March 15.—Passengers Of the

here, say that a subject of Japan was re—
cently arrested in Honolulu for a trivial
offense and placed in jail, from which lie
escaped and swam out toe Japanese war-
ship. The authorities, according to the
story, appealed to the American rear ad—
, miral asking that he demand the surren-
der of the Japanese, but the commander of
the J apaneee warship refused and used
threatening language'to the American of-
flcer.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14,—The dispatch
from Sydney about the tkeatening of the
American rear admiral by the captain of
the Japanese man-of—war at Honolulu is
not credited here. The steamer Arawa
sailed from Honolulu for Sydney before
the Australia sailed from San Francisco.
None of the Honolulu correspondence up
to March 4 mentions the Japanese episode,
and it was not mentioned in the files of
Hawaiian papers received here. Nearly a.
year ago an incident somewhat similar to
that related by the. Arawa’s passengers oc-
curred at Honolulu. A J a mess criminal
escaped and swam out to a Japanese man-
owaar lying in the harbor. A demand
was made by the provisional government
for his surrender, and after some hesita-
tion the Japanese commander gave up the
fugitive.
