An Outrage.
It has finally come to pass that an
item Of news cannot be sent over the
tell-phone without being at once repeat-
ed to a dispenser of state news. The
managers of the different Offices of the
Southern New England Telephone
company have been notified by the
general superintendent to at once for~
ward all news in their respective locali-
ties to the office in New Haven where it
is turned over to a press association.
Under this order no private message
Q
‘ can be transmitted to any newspaper in
the state over the telephone without
being repeated to New Haven. The
Seneral manager Of the Telephone
company, so we are informed, has
boasted that no private news can be
sent ,over the wires of his company
without its being reported.
If such a state of affairs exists the
sooner a competing telephone company
is siarted the better it will be for all, as
under the present rcgimeinothing is pri-
vate that goes over the telephone line.

Against Tobacco.
The New York Sun with evident sat-
isfaction and approval says that so far
as it knows, the Methodist denomina
lion is the only Protestant body that
requires all candidates for its ministry
to take a pledge that they will abstain
from the use of tobacco. Every candi-
date must be orthodox in his theology,
according to the Methodist standard;
he must be sound in his piety; he must
give evidenCe of the genuiness of his
conversion; he must demonstrate his
ability to preach and pray extcmporan-
eously ; he must obey the ecclesiastical
authorities of his Church, and he must
promise that he will not smoke tobaOCO
or chew it, or take snuff. "Will you
wholly abstain from the use of tobac-
c .‘9” was the question which Bishop
Andrews solemnly addressed to each
candidate for the ministry who ap-
peared before him at the Methodist
Episcopal Conference that has been in
session in New York for a week past.
“I will,” was the reverential reply of
each of the candidates. When one of
them admitted that he had once fallen
under the temptation of tobacco, there
was an exciting scene, and an anti-to-
bacco delegate demanded that he be
put on probation for another year. He
made a narrow escape from this punish-
ment. His record otherwise was first-
rate.
There are lots of ministers of the
other Protestant denominations who
enjoy the tobacco habit. We have
heard of Episcopalian and Presbyter-
ian and Baptist and Congregationalist
ministers puffing their smoke in peace.
We are told by a devout churchmen
that when he recently called upon his
rector he found him sitting before a
bottle Of beer and smoking an old
black pipe filled with the most power-
ful tobacco, and this rector, instead of
being ashamed of himself, offered his
visitor a glass and a pipe. We judge
, from what we have heard that the Pres-
byterian ministers are greater tobacco
smokers than the Baptist, and that very
few of the Congregationalist kind
"smoke, exce pting in Connecticut, where
tobacco grows. . I
It may be an unwhelcsome and ex‘
pensive habit, but we cannot say that it
is impiou‘s, excepting for the Methodist
who has taken a pledge to abstain
from it.

James Burns at the Nor‘walk Hos-
pital in a Serious Condition.
John Kehoe Charged With the
Crime.
About two O’clock this morning the
South Norwalk police Were notified
that James Burns. of Spring Hi”, this
city, had been stabbed by John Kehoe,
on the Washington street bridge
The wounded man was sent to the
Norwalk hospital by Dr. Bohannan,
and Kehoe, together with young John
Roberts were arrested by the police
and locked up.
An examination of Burns by. Dr.
Burke, revealed two outs under his left
arm, one about one.third of an inch in
length and the other two inches. In
addition to these-serious wounds Burn.’
upper and lower lip were cut'open and
had to be stitched. He is resting quiet-
ly, but the physicians are 10th to ex-
press an opinion as to the severity of
his wounds until tO-morrow or Mon-
day. Burns has stated that Kehue did
the cutting and is substantiated bf: his
younger brother, who says he saw
Kehoe striking his brother.
‘ When seen at police headquarters
this morning young Roberts stated
that he knew nothing about the tight
and was not present when it occurred.
Kehoe refused to make any statement
whatever, saying that he had been ad-
vised not to say anything.
As near as can be learned, owing to
an effort being made to keep the mat-
ter quiet on the part of Kehoe’s friends,
it appears that shortly before the Burns
cutting all the parties were at the ball
in Germania hall, and while dancing
Roberts was jostled by William Slattery
of this city. Roberts made some re-
mark to Slattery and the latter apolo-
gized, but this did not suit Roberts,
who told Slattery that if h i’lid it
again he would punch his face. Slab
tery retorted in kind and soon after
left the hall. The rest of the story
is told by Slattery, who says that when
he reached the front of William Jesse’s
he was jumped upon by Roberts and
Kehoe and struck and kicked. He says
he‘was also stabbed over the eye, and
when arrested this morning for a
breach of the peace, by Chief Bradley
and turned over tO the South Norwalk
officials. his right eye was black and
his eye brow was cut as though by
a sharp instrument. He stated to a
GAZETTE representative this morning
that it was Roberts who assaulted him
and that Kehoe was with Robeits and
assisted him. He also said that shortly
after his attack he saw Burns with
blood flowing from his face
From the statement made by Siattery
and the denial of Roberts and reticence
of Kr hoe it would look as though Ke-
hoe and Roberts had met Burns after
dong up Slattery and attacked him.
When searched no knife was found on
Kehoe but he could easily have thrown
it into the river before his arrest, '\ hich
did not occur until some time after the
afl‘ray. '
While the wounds inflcted on Burns
are not fatal yet they are very serious
and he will be required to remain at
the hospital for a time.
When the cases were brought before
J urtice Barrett at 10 o’clock the prison-
ers all pleaded not guilty and their
cases were continued until next Friday
afternoon at 2 o’clock. Kehoe was
plaCed under bonds Of $500 furnished
bv his father and mother, “1'. and Mrs.
Dun el Kehoe; the latter a1 0 gave $100
bonds for Roberts. Slattery was placed
under the same amount as Roberts.

Obituary.
JOHN BENEDICT
John Benedict of New Canaan died
at the residence of his son. A. Louis
Benedict, in that borough, Thursday,
aged eighty-two years. Mr. Bt‘llcdlctr
was born on June 17. 1812. the date
of the declaration of war between
Great Britain and the United States——
known in history as the war of 1812.
Mr. Benedict was born on the site of
the handsome summer residence of
John R. Downey of New York, on
Brushy Ridge, New Canaan. For more
than 60 years he was connected with
the shoe manufacturing business of
the town, for nearly thirty years being
the senior member Of the firm of J. &
J. Benedict, succeeded by J. 85 i‘. W.
Benedict, which firm dissolved partner-
ship last December. The family name
of Benedict has been more or less prom-
inently identified with New Canaan
and its mercantile. manufacturing and
Social affairs for more than one hun-
dred and fifty years, and to none does
the name owe its honorable distinction
in a greater measure than to the vener-
able gentleman who is now no more.
His death is felt as a sad bereavement
to the community at large as well as to
the afflicted family, whose members
have the sincere sympathy of all who
know them. -
Mr. Benedict’s celebration of his
“golden wedding,” some years since,
is still pleasantly remembered by the
many members of his family from far
and near, and numerous friends who
were present on that-occasion. His
title of “Captain,” by which he was
so well known, was a relic of his young
manhood, some sixty years ago, when
on “general trainin' days,” now long
passed into history, he was in command
of a military organization of the sec-
tion known as the “Grenadier Guards."
The funeral was attended this morn-
ing, Rev. E. M. Grant of the Univer-
salist church, Stamford, officiating.

,,THE KIND THAT OUEEs. .,
The Judge Doubtful.
Judge Thayer on l‘hursday again
continued the divorce case Of Charles
J. McLean, of Norwalk, who seeks a.
legal separation from Maiion McLean,
of South Norwalk.
Says the Farmer: McLean testified
that on March 26, 1887, Miss Goodfel-
low and her mother presented them-
selves at the New York restaurant
where he was employed as cashier at a
salary of $15 a week, with a demand
that he marry the young woman at
once. Being thus summarily ordered
to marry he married. It took him
some little time to submit to his matri-
monial obligations and for leaving his
duties without leave he lost his position.
As he was without money he had to
send her home a Week after marriage
He was unsuccessful in securing new
employment and in a’moment of temp-
tation attempted forgery. Four months
from the day of his marriage he was
sent to the Elmira reformatory, where
he remained two years. His wife never
visited Or wrote to him during this
period and after his release refused
even to recognize him. She positively
afilrmed her intention never to live
with him, although he wrote her a let-
ter stating his ability to support her.
She would not even speak to him. She
undertook to use his confinement as
the basis‘of a suit for divorce on the
ground of desertion. She was forced
to withdraw the suit.
The reason for. the continuance was
that Judge Thayer wished more posi-
tive evidence that the defendant had
received her husband’s letter offering
her support. This was claimed to have
been written three years ago, or long
enough to establish desertion.
A Rank Decision.
The final contest in the Y. M. C. A
tournament took place in the gymna-
slum Of the local association ri.lay
night. The different events were wit-
nessed by a large number of people.
Up to the last event it seemed as if the
Norwalk team could not'fail of winning-
A Bridgeport paper this morning says
“Our team came back with the hand-
some trophy—a beautiful blue banner
with gilt letters announcing the holders
to be the best all around athletes in the
district. A very happy crowd it was
that returned to this city on an early
morning train. ”
In the last event, a quarter of a. mi‘e
run, Mullins who acted as substitute
for Raymond, fell on the first lap, stop-
ped to ask Referee McCann, who by
the way hails from Bridgeport, if he
would be allowed to make another
start, but was given no other answer
than “I am counting time on you.”
Mullins then went on and finished his
run, losing the race by nearly the
twenty seconds that McCann kept him
waiting. .
It was the opinion Of those present
including the Bridgeport team and
friends, that Mullins ought to have
been allowed another trial. And it is
said greatly to his discredit that Mo»-
Cann as soon as the score was an-
nounced grabbed the prize' banner and
rushed out of the hall, claiming that
Ilt must ca tch a train, but really to es-
cape the condemnation of the specta-
tors on his rank decision, which to his
credit be it said were up to the last-
event fairly given.
With the exception of the pole vault-
ing the work of the Norwalk team was
excellent. The following is the score,
the events being in the following order,
rcpe climb, high jump, fence vault,
pole vault, ;} mile run:
Raymond, 92, 68, 79, 66, 2—307

The case of State vs. Fahan came up
for trial before the Superior Court on
Friday. and as stated in these columns
was . indefinitely postponed. Among
the witnesses against Fahan was one
William Troy of Cobble Hill. He se-
cured his witness fees and as is alleged
became intoxicated. Friday evening
Michael Fahan visited Riordan‘s saloon
to deliver some liquid refreshments.
On going into the place he was saluted
by William Troy in ungentlemanly lan-
guage, Troy following up his salutation
with a terrific blow from his right hand
which landed on the right optic of Fa-
han, knocking him down. Friends in.
terfered and Fahan escaped further in-
jury. A warrant has been issued for
Troy’s arrest. “ Troy has had it in for
me ever, since he stole the turkey last
Christmas” says Mike, “and he has
threatened to punch me and break me
me up in business.”

conference of labor men is an effort to (le »
stroy the Knights of Labor. Nothing
could- be further from the truth, for the
Object of the conference is to build up and
strengthen‘thc Knights as well as all other.
organizations of labor. The circular was
garbled in the Pittsburg story, with the
evident purpose of completely reversing
its purport. This sentence, for example,
was not quoted in the dispatch: ‘lVeaim
not to displace Or weaken any existing or-
ganization, but to strengthen and increase
the power olf each and to bring about a
combination which will present an im-
pregnuble front to the enemies of labor.
and especially to the foes of labor organ-
izatious.’
"That. sentence, you see, puts an entire-
ly different. face on the matter. The ma-
jority 01‘ the men with whom I counseled
on the subject- of the confluence are Knights
and loyal members of the order, and fully
one-half of those who will attend the
meeting are active members of that organ-
ization. I am a member of the order my-
self and um anxious to see the troubles
between the trades unions and the Knights
forever ended. This desire was the main-
spriiigj of my action in issuing the circular.
“The meeting in Philadelphia will not
be held under-the official sanction of any
Organization. but will be rather the spon-
taneous uprising Of earnest men, as indi-
viduals, who believe that; there is an emer—
gency in labor affairs Which must be met
with intelligence and courage, and it :is
hoped that as a result of the conference all
the labor organizations Of the country can
be brought to prompt and united action
looking to a thorough unification of the
labor forces Of America. - L.
“Vt'e are not to have a Star chamber con-
ference, and it will not be a calml of dis-
gruntled or scheming labor men. NO slate
was made in extending invitations, but I
asked the co—operution of all the earnest
men whose addresses . I had. and who, I
thought, would take an active interest.
NO one was intentionally slighted, and the
doors Of the conference room will be open
.on the 28th to anyinan who is in good.
standing in his labor organization and
who is willing to throw his coat and work
for the glorious aim we have in view. Al.
ready I have received favorable replies
from a majority of those to whom the cir-
color was sent, and 1 expect'a fine ineet- ‘
ing.”
