M
Money Makes the Mayor 00.
A movement is on foot in Philadel-
phia, and it seems to have considerable
support in some quarters, to increase
the salary, of the Mayor from. $12,000
to $20,000 a year, and it is alleady an-
nounced that an ordinance to that ef-
feet will be introduced at one of the
early sessions of the common council
next month. ‘
Inasmuch as the Mayor of Philadel-
phia now receives 32,000 more than the
Mayor of New York, and what is gen-
erally looked upon as very comfortable
pay, there must be some cogent reasons
for so large an increase.
The principal one thus for advanced
is that so long as the office carries a sal-
ary of but $12,000 it is difficult to in-
duce prominent business men to give it
a thought. But $20,000 a year might
prove an inducement to some of the
best of them to take the position and
give it their entire time. Besides, it is
argued that the city has attained such
wealth and importance that the head of
the municipal government should be
correspondingly paid for his services.
We must confess that we cannot fully
see the force of this reasoning. If
Philadelphia has no citizens competent
.for the Mayoralty and willing to dis-
charge it's‘duties and keep up the social
end of the ofice at $1,000 a month, the
Quaker Citymust be badly off for the
material that Mayors are usually made
of. .
Mr. Gilroy is doing very well .as
Mayor of New York on only $10,000 a
year, or 815,000 a year less than his city
chamberlain gets, and Chicago has had
several excellent Mayors who contrived
to worry along on $7,000. Are the in-
terests of Philadelphia so much larger
than those of the two towns mentioned,
or the administration of its city affairs
so much more difficult, that its chief
executive should be allowed $20,000?
Our Mayor Mr. Keeler, shOuld at ones
write the Quaker City Mayor that while
Norwalk pays five hundred dollars a
week, or at the rate of $26,000 per year
for editor-night-school teachers, it only
pays its Mayor, the munificent sum of
$25 per year, and with which he man-
ages to‘ get along quite comfortably.
At St. Mary’s Church.
Rev. Father Slocum at St. Mary’s
church at the 10:30 o’clock mass Sun-
day, gave a condensed review of the
history of the R. C. diocese of this
state, the 50th anniversary of which
occurred on Saturday. 'lhe address
was of a very interesting character,
chock full of data. The first bishop
was Bishop Tyler and the diocese in-
cluded Rhode Island, at which time
there were but 12,000 or 15,000 Catho-
lics in both states. Now the number is
nearly if not fully 400,000. Father
Slocum gave a brief history of the
work of the different bishops'during a
period of fifty years. There are now
two dioceses, one of Hartford and the
other of Providence. The address was
extempore. A large number of palms
which had been blessed were distribu-
ted among the congregation.

Arrested.
He Makes a Confession.
Shortly after noon Sunday. says the
Bridgeport Union, George Beers and
George Gregory, wealthy farmers_rc-
siding at Easton Centre, walked into
police headquarters leading a. _man
whose wrists were tied together With a
hitching strap. They asked that he be
held for the Easton authorities who
would prosecute him for burglary.
The man was searched and locked up
while Gregory and Beers went to their
team to show some of the goods stolen
by the fellow. He gave his name as
J ohn, Blorri and hung his head .as if he
feared recognition. When Beers and
Gregory returned from the wagon they
bore with them over $200.worth of
jewelry, silverware and wearing appar-
el which had been stolen from Greg-
ory’s house. They then told a story
which showed that the prisoner was
a thorough going burglar and __that
they were men of pluck.
Sunday morning the Beers and Greg-
ory families went to church together as
they usually do, Mr. Beers and Mr.
Gregory being brothers-indaw. B ore
the conclusion of the service, _Irs.
Gregory was taken sick and was obliged
to leave the churCh. She was driven
home and on arriving there it was
found that someone had broken out a
window of the Gregory farmhouse With
an axe. The interior of the house was
a scene of confusion, drawers and clos-
ets having been ransacked and their
contents scattered round the house.
All the jewelry and watches as well as
three suits of Mr. Gregory’s clothing
had been taken. The thief after ran-
and hitched a horse to a road wagon
which he used to carry off the plunder.
Beers and Gregory jumped mto the
team they had driven to church and
started in pursuit of the burglar. The
horse he had taken was an old one and
had a habit of running from one Side
of the road to the other. The Zig-zag-
ging of the wheel tracks made it an
easy matter to keep the trail which led
through a back road to Norwalk. At a
point near Bradley’s axe factory _the
burglar’s turnout was sighted in a piece
of woods. He whipped up his horse
when he saw his pursuers but the horse
was then about winded and he was soon
overtaken. Beers grabbed the bridle
and ordered the burglar to surrender.
He offered fight but was pulled out of
the wagon by Gregory and his .hands
bound. He was then driven to this city.
- His face seemed familiar to Capt.
Birmingham and he asked the burgular
if he had not seen him before.
“I dont‘ think you have,” was the
answer. ‘
“Yes I have” said the captain, “you’re
Billy Gaton, and we want you for steal-
ing a horse and buggy last September,”
“You’re mistaken in your man,” said
the fellow and he refused to talk fur-
ther. ‘
The captain then had the burglar
photographed, which had the effect of
getting him to make a cofession. When
he was brought back from the artist’s
he asked to see the captain. He then
said that he was the man who took ex-
Alderman Daniel Smith’s horse and
buggy on the morning of Sept. 1. He
had riven the team to New York and
.had left it in a stable. He did not know
what had become of it after. He said
he had come from New York Saturday
night and went to Easton, where he
looked round for a place to rob. _
Gaton is about 30 years old and in
1887 was sentenced to the state prison
for four years for committing a'num-
ber of burglaries in Fairfield. He
has been known as William Donnelly
and has sentences aggregating a life-
time if convicted for his numerous
crimes. - Gaton makes his home in New
York, where he has been employed on
the elevated railroad. He has been
driven to crime by ill luck in'obtalmng
and retainining employment. _
Gaton is the man whom the police
have all along maintained stole Daniel
Smith’s turnout. ,
He was tracked into New York by
Detective Arnold but the trail was lost
in'the city. Since then the police have
been on the lookout for Gaton and
have felt positive that he would be
brought to justice. _
He was known to have friends in
Bridgeport and Capt. Birmingham has
had the mails watched for a clue to his
whereaboutsbutnothingpassedthrough
the local post oflice bearing his address.

Robin Hood will be presented at
Hoyt’s Opera House, South Norwalk,
to-morrow evening. The music, which
is of a superior order, is by no means
all there is of ”Robin Hood.” The
libretto is an excellent comedy by it-
self. With the sly 01d sheriff of Not-
tingham as a central humorous figure
and such capital material as the famous
fat Friar Tuck, Little John’s jovial
band of Sherwood Forest outlaws,
Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Dame Dur-
den, Annabel and Guy of Gisborne, it
was inevitable that so clever a man
as Mr. Smith should write‘an exceed-
ingly funny book. And then, too, the
picturesquencss of the foresters in
green and the villagers in their bright
coflstutmes add greatly to the enlivening.

Death of Father Hunt.
The Rev. Father Hunt, pastor of St.
Thomas’ R. 0. church. died early Sun-
day morning at the parochial residence
in Southington, of heartfailure. Father
Hunt was taken ill on Thursday, with
pneumonia, which developed into the
trouble which caused his death: He
was 48 years of age, and had been sta-
tion'ed at St. Thomas’ church since
1883. He was born in Ireland, and was
educated in this country for the priest-
hood. The deceased was quite well
known in Norwalk, and some years
since preached in St. Mary’s church
during a mission that was held there.
The present pastor of the church in
this city, Rev. Father Slocum, and
Father Hunt, were great friends, and
were at one time both located at the
cathedral in Hartford. The funeral
will take place on Tuesday.
Attempted Burglary.
An attempt was made Sunday night
to burglarize the grocery store of D.
A. Rosen, N o. 47 Rlver street. A pane
of glass was broken out of a side door
and an unsuccessful effort made to un-
lock the door. No goods were stolen,
but the faucet to a molasses barrel was
opened and about five gallons of the
saccharine stuff ran outupon the _floor.
It was seemingly the work of boys. '

TRO'Y’S ELECTION TRAGEDY.
Bat Shea Positively Identified its the Man
“71m Killed Ross.
TROY, N. Y., March lam—So far in the in-
quest herein the murder of Robert Ross
on election day four persons have positive-
ly identified Bat Shea as the man who firéd
the shot that killed.
The most important evidence was that
if Duncan G. Raye, who said: “I saw the
gleam of a revolver in a‘mai'i’s hand. The
man stood near O‘Bricu’s house on the
west side of Orr street. I was probably 5
or 10 feet from the polling place, just South
3f the door, and had a clear View of the
man, whose back and side were turned to-
ward me. The man with the revolver was
Bartholomew Shea. I also saw a man on
the ground about three feet to the south—
west of Shea. I saw Shea shoot' at him.”
William Ross,who was shot in the melee,
came into court leaning on his brother
and with his head done up in bandages.
He said that he saw McGough draw a re-
volver. Shea stood right near him. He
heard some shots fired and felt himself hit.
He fell, and when he recovered his senses
he looked around for his brother Robert.
He saw him some distance away, but just
then heard another shot and saw his broth-
er fall. “The man that fired that shot,"
he said, “came up to my brother and fired
another shOt st‘jight into his head.” He
said he saw the man’s face and believed he
could identify him. He looked around and
stood up, grasping the back of the chair. '
Staring at Shea, he said, “If that man will
stand up and put on his hat, I can tell.”
Then Shea stood up and put on his hat.
Ross said in a weak voice as he sank back
in'his chair: “I can’t tell. —J only saw the
face once.” 7 .
Ross said in answer to a question as to
whether he went to the polls armed, “Yes,
I had a club.”
“\Vhy did you carry a. club?”
3‘80 as to defend ourselves against re-
peaters and against any police oflicar Who
handled men as I was handled at the last
election.” There was loud applause at this
juncture.
“Do you think it right to carry a Weapon
to the polls?” was asked.
’ “Yes, when that is the only way to get
the right of franchise.”
Just as he finished this last sentence he
turned ashy white and gave evidence of
. collapsing. A physician present ordered
him takenfroni the room.
Frank Wheeler testified to seeing {has
have a smoking revolver in his hand While
being carried away Wounded. Two wit-
nesses swore to seeing repeating and named
the men who had voted on other men’s
names. It is thought the case can be closed
by Wednesday.

ing, Corbett 'might spring some trick. I
am going to leave the matter to the press

ON THE AVENUE.
Oncot the new ideas in scarf pine is
a miniature gold fatigue cap in the
American pearl.
A woman whose neck is thin should
never try anything but the square cor-
sage. The generously proportioned
looks best in the V style or the oval.
Only perfectly proportioned shoulders
should be bared.
Fate has decreed that the modern
girl must wear the 1830 shoes. If some
of the pictures from the wearing of
1830 hose and shoes, as seen in a news-
paper, were to be realized—well, the
bootmakers and hosiers who introduced
the style would be hurled into eternity,
with little time for preparation.
It is considered the proper thing for
every “bud,” when donning the even.
ing dress, to_ pass about her throat
three long, thin gold chains. They are
carried down the bodice to .the waist,
and hold, tucked away in the bodice, a
quaint, heart-shaped locket, set with
turquoise, rubies. sapphires or with
cameo ornamentation.
Some people have queer ideas about
wearing mourning. When crape is
worn there should not be a suspicion of
any trimming about the tress, except
folds of the same material-or crape.
To use cut jet is atrocious, and even
dull jet is in bad taste. A recent wid-
ow, done up in yards ,of crape and
f‘bombazine,” with the shelf crease yet
in it, stuck to her diamonds, wearing
two-carat stones in her ears and five ‘of,
the same kind at her throat. Through
the folds of her enveloping veil they
shone like glow worms. Grief like that
is a shrieking sham.
According to Goethe the society of
women is the element of good manners.
This statement. naturally makes us as a
class and individually as well, responsi-
niceties that distinguish a gentleman
from'a hear. {there is no use declaring
that if a man has money he can do and.
sa anything _he pleases and society
Wil uphold him. Americans are not
mammon worshipers to such an extent
as that, and if 'a man is really anxious
to make his way both in business and
social life he must cultivate good man-
ners. According to Goethe, then, he
must cultivate the society .of women,
for their presence exerts the refining
influence that tones down the grosser
element that will crap out when men
are thrown too much in each other’s
society. If a mother is anxious that
her son shall acquire a courteous de-,
meanor, the first thing she does is to
send him to dancing school, where he
.is thrown constantly in the society _of
little girls. She encourages his admir-
ation for other boys’ sisters if he has
none of his own, and is always, ready
to open her house for gay little parties
of boys and girls, whereas she might
object strongly to the rougher assem-
blies at which duly boys'were to be
present. Woman is a power from the
cradle to the rave. Her influence is
felt both in pa lie and in private life,
she can rule both manners and morals;
therefore, does .1“ not behoove thisom-
nipotent sovereign to wield. her power
only for good, to put,vanity and'self
glory_away from her and seek only to
exercise a refining influence that will
makeitself felt in whatever circle she
moves?
