General Henry W. Slocum.
In the death of Henry Warner Slo-
cum Brooklyn loses one of its most
eminent citizens and the Nation one of
its most gallant soldiers. He was re-
nowned in war, distinguished in peace,
faithful in every relation of life as hus-
band, father, friend, Christian and
citizen.
It seems hard that men of this heroic
mold should be taken away from us—
that they should die; but for them
death is only the beginning of immor-
tality. Gen. Slocum played a. great
part in life. His fame will endure, and
his name will be enshrined in history
side by side with the mighty command-
ers who helped to save this glorious
Union of States.

A Victory for Ex-Speaker Reed.
The Democratic party in the House
of Representatives, with its tremen-
dons majority, has been driven to the
humilitating confession that it cannot
do business without following the pre-
cedent set by ex-Speaker Reed for the
government of that body.
Mr. Reed was denounced as a “Czar”
for counting a quorum when he had
only a slender majority behind him.
and when Democrats sought in every
way to block the wheels of legislation
and create chaos. With a majority of
nearly one hundred'Spsaker Crisp is
unable to obtain a quorum to do b.181-
ness, and his party has resolved to ex
tricatc him and itself from the dilemma
by following the Republican precedent.
it is a magnificent personal victory for
Mr. Reed.

The Bi-eckinridge Verdict.
It did not require the quick verdict
of the jury in the Breckinridgc-Pollard
bieach-of-promise case to condemn the
dcfendent, Congressman William C. P.
Breckinridge, in the eyes of the‘pubv
lic. He had already accomplished that
end by his own testimony. From the
moment that Breckinridge took the
witness stand and cried out, like Adam
in the Garden of Eden, that the fault
was all the woman’s, he became an
object Of universal contempt. Men de-
spised him for his cowardice, and
women 102 thed him for the brutal ad-
missions of lust which he made in that
defense. So far as public opinion is
concerned, the defendant was found
guilty long before the trial ended.
Opinions may differ as to the amount
of damages which should have been
awarded the plaintiff, but few of the
many thousands who have read the re-
ports of the trial as it proceeded will
dissent from the conclusion of the jury
in favor of the plaintiff, and probably
the large majority will pronounce the
amount awarded too small rather than
too large. This arises from the fact
that lie conduct of the defendant and
his lawyers during the trial has aroused
in the minds of all men and women
whd have the sense of decency as well
as of justice a feeling of intense indig
nation and profound disgust. Thehon-
orable State of Kentucky, whose proud-
est boast is her women and her chival-
ry toward women, will recognize him
no longer as any son of here. The
nut-ion, which wd‘s wont to listen eager-
ly for the eloquence of his silver
tongue, will never consent to hear him
again.
This trial is ended. The defendant,
siill apparently unconscious thatbesides
being mulcted by a jury he has been
pilloriod before all the world, was last
seen on the streets of Washington,
merrily making a show of himself and
bearing himself as unconcernedly as
though nothing had happened to him;
still indulging in the-famous conceit
that among men Of the world he is re-
garded only as a brilliant public man,
who has done nothing unusal, but has
been unfortunate enough to get caught;
but where truth is known, where honor
is held dear, where fidelity is revered
and where the Christian religion is rcv~
ciencc, the name of William C. P.
Breckinridge will be a reproach and an
Offense. Like the serpent of Eden, he
is cursed above every beast of the field.
As for Madeline Pollard, we can only
quote the words ofthe Master:“Go thou
and sin no more.” . Pity must ever weep
a? n woman’s fall: but if the courage 01
this one woman to demandjustice in
spite of her shame shall make modern
satyrs less proiligafe in debauching
women, or shall encourage women
wronged to right those .wrongs, some
good, at least, will have come of a great
evil.

Miner D. Randall and Roddy MCGin-
nis Lose Their Barns.
Between half past three. and four
o’clock Sunday morning, William Kel-
logg who lives at the east end of the
Benedict farm bridge was awakened
by the noise made by the horses kick-
ing in Miner D. Randall’s barn onlEast
avenue at the rear of the tide mill at
the west end of the bridge. Mr. Kel-
logg arose and looking out of the Win-
dow discovered the barn in flames. He
quickly gave the alarm and Mr. Ban-
dall and several neighbors got outa
garden hose and endeavored to put out
the fire but it was beyond their control.
At about ten minutes to lour o’clock
an alarm was sounded on the East Nor-
walk flrc bell, bringing out the depart-
ment. Two lines, of hose were laid
from the hydrant in front of Mr. Ban-
dall’s residence on Riverside avenue
and the two streams were soon playing
on the burning building, but the fire
was under too much headway and was
not extinguished until the barn was
consumed. '
In the barn were three of Mr. Ra'l‘
dall’s horses, but owing to the flames
they could not be rescued and were
consumed in their stalls. There were
five vehicles in the barn which were
also consumed; one three-seat pleasure
wagon, one two-seat wagon, a buggy, a
phaeton and a new builders rulgqfl
which had just been completed my Til-
ley and used but once. In atii'izl-ii-D to
these were all of the doors, blinds etc.
recently brought from the court house
at Middletown, a car load of shingles.
and a car load of mouldings. hir. fian-
dall estimates that there was fully
$2,000 Worth of lumber in thebuilding
at the time. A hoisting machine and a
planer were in the barn, but the former
was not badly damaged.
The fire was ewdcntly the work. of_an
incendiary as no fire of any description
Was ever in the barn. and there ans no
way it could have originated unless set
on fire. When first discovered the en-
tire base Of the building was encoded
by the flames. . _
Considerable complaint is made by
the East Norwalk citizens over 111..- con-
duct of the Volunteer hose company,
which had recently disbanded, but re-
sponded to the alarm and endeavored
to run things at the fire. It is said that
when the Mayflower’s blew the nozzle
off their line of hose the Volunteer’s
refused to allow the hydrant to be shut
off while they coupled the nozzle on
again, and that at one time both com-
panies were engaged in a duel With the
hose, playing water upon each other
instead of the fire. . .
Notwithstanding the hard feelings
displayed by these organizations the
fire was extinguished before it had
communicated with the old mill or any
of the neighboring buildings.
The second story of the barn was oc-
cupied by J. Morgan, the stair builder,
who lost every thing. ‘
During the exmtement attending the
lire William LeCount was struck in the
eye by a stream of water, badly cutting
ii and nearly destroying the eight.
Mr. Randall estimates his loss on the
barn and wagon shop, which adjoined
the barn, at $4,500 on which he has
about $1,650 insurance.
ANOTHER.
About midnight Saturday night an
alarm of fire was Sounded from box 53
which is located near the .New Canaan
road, in a section of the 0113) known as
Cobble Hill. _
The fire department responded With
its usual alacrity and were soon at the
scene. ‘
The fire proved to be confined to a
barn owned by Roger McGiunis. The
supply wagon and Phoenix Engine com-
pany were the first to airive and soon
had a stream on the flam s, Hope Hose
company quickly follow1i.g.
But in the meantime the flames had
made such rapid progreSs, all attempts
to save the building or its contents
were fruitless.
The first intimation Roger had of the
fire was aloud kicking at the frontdoor
of his house, and some one yelling,
“Get up Roddy, your barn is on fire.”
Roddy hastily dressed himseéi and
going to the barn assisted in getting
his horse out alive but the animal was
so horribly burne‘d he was shot Sunday
afternoon in order to put him out of
his agony. Five bullets were sent into
his head before a. fatal shot was fired.
A dump cart and a buggy, or rather
portions of each were saved. About
two tons of hay, some gluin, farming
implements, and tools used bi; Roddy
in his business as catch basm cleaner
were destroyed. There was no «mur-
ance on the barn or its contents. It is
stated that the l‘orse was insured ivith
C. B. Coolidge for $150. -
Fortunately the wind was blowing in
an opposite direction from the house or
glint building must surely ham taken
re.
Mr. McGinnis is of the opinion that
the barn was fired by some of his one-
mies, and is positive that it was of in-
cendiary origin as he had made it a
rule never to go to the barn in the dark,
always taking ,the precaution of feed-
ing his horse,even on the shortest days
by daylight.
It was only last Saturday that chair-
man Pinneo of the sewer committee
had awarded McGinnis the work of
cleaning out the city catch basins and
he expected to commence work on the
same this morning.
The loss is a serious one to Mr. Mc-
Ginnis.

George Beers, of No. 5 Berkeley

hour Sunday morning. Saturday after-
noon Mr. Beors took a long walk, and
returned home rather weary, but appar-
ently in his usual health. About eleven
o’clock his wife noticed that he was
breathing peculiarly, and soon after
summoned a physician, who prescribed
for him, but he was stricken with apo-
plexy and died at 2 o’clock. The dc-
w—aswd learned'the hatter-‘13 trade with
the late Zalmon Lyon. He did not con-

They also Forgot to Settle Their

Saturday evening about half past four
O’clock atall, slim man with smooth
face and gold eye glasses, and wearing
a light colored Mackintosh with cape,
and a soft hat to match the coat, called
at the residence of Samuel J. Platt, No.
17 Elizabeth street, South Norwalk,
and rang the bell. Mrs. Platt opened
the door, and the man inquired if she
had a room fo rent. On being answer-
ed in the affirmative he stated that he
was a representative of the Star Shirt
Mauufactory and chired to engage is
furnished room for a friend of his who
had just been married and was going to
work at his factory. He said that he
espected them from Branchville on the
next Danbury train. He inquired
about board, and was told to go to a
neighbors who gave board, which he
promised to do and then left. In about
two hours he returned with a lady and
gentleman Whom he introduced to Mrs.
Platt as Sterling, saying the lady was
his sister. The party were taken to
their room by Mrs. Platt and on enter-
ing the man. remarked to his pretended
sister that the room was not as pleasant
as the one she had at Springfield.
This remark caused Mrs. Platt to ask
her if she had just come from Spring-
field, and she said had and was very
tired. .
The man who brought the couple to
the house departed and the man and
wife remained all night. After he had
gone Mrs. Plait converSed with the
woman and during the conversation
she inquired if all of the rooms were
occupied by boarders.aud was informed
that they were. She also inquired
about the churches, and the time they
opened, evidently trying to find out if
Mrs. Platt regularly attended church.
Sunday morning the first party re-
turned and inquired if his sister was
up and was admitted He went to
their room and Mrs. Platt followed up
stairs, going into an adjouiing room.
While she was combing her hair the
two men came out and the husband
told his wife they would be back soon.
They then descended the stairs and
went out the front door. Mrs. Platt
dressed and went to church and while
she was absent the woman came down
stairs and asked Mr. Platt, who was‘
writing, what time it was.
When Mrs. Platt returned from
church she found their room door open
and the things in the room scattered
about. She closed the door and
thought nothing about the incident, as
she supposed they had gone out for
their meals. After dinner Mrs. Platt
went to Graniteville to call on Mrs.
Hartwick and on her return was met
by her two sons who informedher that
her guests had departed and With them
a new suit of clothes belonging to Ed-
ward Laudlow, the electric light trim-
mer. Mr. Laudlow had come home
intending to dress himself, but when
he looked for his $35 suit, it was mis-
sing. His, trunk, containing a sum of
money, was standing in the room un-
locked, but nothing had been dis-
turbed.
As soon as the theft was discovered
the matter was reported to the police,
but no clue has yet been found to the
parties. .
The woman had a round full face,
light complexion, rosy cheeks and short
hair. She was dressed in a dark navy
blue. dress trimmed with dark braid
and wore a suck to match her dress.
Her pretended husband was about five
feet seven inches tall and wore a dark
suit of clothes. His hair was black and
he had a guilty look about his face, be-
ing unable to look one in the eye while

driven the. insurgents out of the state of
rtio Gi'ando do Sul, and the defeated and
lisconiiited Admiral de Mollo has diseinv
barked 1,500 insurgent troops on the Iron.
tier of Uruguay and surrendered himself
and his command to the Uruguay authori-
ties, who have dism’ined them. , -f
Though the stats of siege at Rio (le Ja-
neiro has been extended to June 131th
believed that Mello’s surrender will enable
the Brazilian government to raise the siege
within a much shorter time. '
The Uruguayan government, after hav-
ing been notified by Hello of his desire to
surrender,- sciit out a. battalion Of infantry
to receive his submission. '1th command-
ing Officer, after con fcri'iiig with )lello, ac-
cepted his sword and placed him and his
followers formally under arrest.
Unaruicd and Destitute. .
Mello lundcd his men from the llcpub.
lica. Among them ‘wcre Generals Salgadoa
and Luurcntino and 90 women. They were
unarmed and destitute. They called on
the Uruguayan authorities in Santa Teresa
and explained . their sad plight. They
begged for food and a guarantee Of safety
to reach Montevideo.
The government instructed the depart-
ment of Rocha to attend to their urgent
needs, but to place them in rigid quaran-
tine. Transports will be sent from here
and take the refugees to 151:). Flores.
It is reported here that the Brazilian
government will insist upon the surrender
of Admiral dc Mello and all the insurgent
Officers. It is added that the Brazilian
fleet from Rio de Juneiro will be sent to
this port in order to back up the demand.
The squadron of war vessels sent south
by President Pcixoto with instructions to
seek out and engage the insurgent war
vessels Aquidubun and Republics has ar-
rived zit Desterre, capital of: the state of
Santa Catharina. Dcsterre, which is situ-
ated on an island on the west coast of the
state known as the Island of Santa Catha-
rina, was the headquarters of the insur~
gents, the seat of their provisional goverm
merit and the site of the arsenal from
which they Obtained their ammunition,
etc.
There President Peixoto’s squadron
found the Aquidaban, the powerful war-
ship which was formerly the flagship of
Admiral de Mello. A battle was anticipat-
ed, but upon the nearer apprbach of the
government squadron it was seen that the
Aquiduban had been abandoned by her of-
ficers and crew. _
Mello's Complete Downfall.
. The insurgent ironclad was promptly
taken possession of by the government
sailors and was found to be in a deplorable
condition, almost destitute of food and
ammunition and with her engines and big
guns almost useless. The Aquidaban will
be repaired us soon as possible, but it will
cost a good deal of money to place her once
more in fighting trim.
As the l-lopublica is understood to be in
the hands of the Uruguayan oliicers and
as Admiral dc Mollo and his army are pris-
oners, the complete downfall of. the rebel
cause is admitted on all sides.
There may be some little further fight-
ing in the southern portion of Rio (ii-nude.
do Sul, but the eventful coriiplcte triumph
of President Pcixoto is no longer a ques—
tion. of doubt.
in view of tho SUCCESS of the government
forces on land and at sea, people here
would not be astonished if the government
of l'ruguuy w as to decide to surrender-Ad-

The New Quorum Counting Rule Not Yet
Ready For Submission.
\VAsuiNG'rON, April iii—Speaker Crisp,
and his Democratic associates on the coni-
mittec on rules, ‘ lepresentatives Catchings
and Outhivuite, have not yet completed the
new quorum counting rule directed by the
Democratic caucus. Mr. Crisp saysi
“\\"e have been going over the many
plans proposed from time to time, but
have not as yet reached a conclusion. The
greatest care is being exercised to so frame
the rule that a quorum can be counted
from members actually present, but not
from members absent. The rule must be
plain and clear so that no doubt and con-
fusion can iii-ice. From the progress we
have made it is likely that a satisfactory
rule will be formulated very soon. It is
essential. however, that Donmcratic mem-
bers of the house should return to W'ash~
ington and give us the quorum necessary
to do business. Until, such a quorum of
the majority is here it is hardly worth
while to bring in a rule to be buffeted
about. \Ve want the quorunuand when
that appears a satisfactory ,rulc will-soon
be submitted . "‘
It is probable that the Republican menu
bers of the rules committee, Messrs. Reed
ind Burrows, will be asked to join the
Democratic members of the committee to
consider the new rule so that a unanimous
report may be made.
The Tariff Programme.
\R'Asiiixc'i‘ox, April lit—Senators Harris
and Aldrich, representing the Democratic

til Mon (lay. the 23d inst, and that on that
day, after the close of the routine morning
business. the bill shall be taken up by pain
agraphs i’or :micndinent and discussion. I t
is presumed that the agreement will be
ratified by the senate. The programme
will be interrupted on Tuesday, when un-
der agreement the Chinese treaty is to be
taken up in executive session immediately
