Only One Coupon.
As 9. large number of GAZETTE read-
ers have the mistaken idea that it is
necessary to bring six coupons of con-
secutive dates before they can obtain a-
portfolio of “The World and Its Peo-
~ ple by Sunlight,” we have concluded to
change the number of coupons to one.
Anyone desiring a portfolio can now
obtain it by presenting one coupon and
ten cents at the business office of the
GAZETTE.
Eighteen numbers have been issued
and back numbers can be supplied.
Don’t Permit It.
It is proposed to make property ator
near J enning’s wharf a dumping ground
for the refuse of the city. And in this
19th century the proposition was pre-
sented' to the city council of Norwalk.
Not a man in the council but what
knows the lay of the land. Can any one
of the board were they living within
five hundred feet of the proposed dump-
ing ground be in accord with the prop-
osition.
At the present time the Orchard street
sewer empties at this point into our har-
bor, the stench from which at certain
seasons of the year is not only intolera-
ble but death dealing, and to add this
proposed emptying of garbage at the
same point is reprehensible.
If there are-no other means of getting
rid of the city garbage, including that
of the markets,why not build a float and-
have the garbage carted into the sound
and dumped. '
Fruit Prospects. -
The law of compensation still abides
to work. its wonders in the realm of nat-
_ure, if press dispatches from the south»
in regard to the watermelon are to be
believed. A‘month ago both peaches
and watermelons promised to be dis-
couragingly few,but now it is said by re_
liable authorities that the young water-
melons are big as a small boy’s fist and
appear to be growing nicely. The frost
though late and severe, did not cause
much damage. An inspection of the
' melon territory in the southeastern part
of Georgia shoWs that the area of culti-
vation this season is 7,376 acres, as com-
pared with 8,839 acres last year. The
map this year will ripen about one-week
late, and the first shipment will not be
made before June 10. A few cars may
come in from Florida before that. One
railroad company running through
southeastern Georgia handled 3,633 cars
of watermelons from that section last
year. It is thought that, in Spite of the
decreased acreage, the shipments will
be almost as heavy this year. Of the
peach crop no such good news is forth-
coming. The cry of “wolf” proved
true this time. Except in Florida,
whefre a full crop is expected, and lower
Mississippi and Texas, where the indi-
crtions favor a partial crop, there will
be but few peaches in the commercial
ogchards of the United Stateslying east
0 the Rocky mountains and south of
Pennsylvania. North of the southern
boundary line of Pennsylvania less
damage was done, and the outlook for
peaches is good in the larger portion of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, north-
ern Ohio, western Michigan and the
Hudson river district in New York. In
western New York and in the Connecti-
cut valley the percentage of live peach
buds is small, but with favorable weath-
er a partial crop may be expected. On
the Pacific slope no serious injury to
buds or young fruit occurred and the
outlook is good for a full crop of all
- kinds. The new orchard country in
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, and
Arizona also escaped. It is therefore
apparent that peaches eaten on this side
of the continent this year will have to
come from 'the Pacific west and the
north. Virginia has but three per cent
of her crop left, Maryland will have less
than half a crop and Georgia is going
to have but one per cent of the expect:
ed harvest. The peach-crop liar is
simply nowhere this year. But there
will be watermelons.
Norw‘alk Minstrels. .
.The Norwalk Minstrel company met
Monday evening and became hilarious
to make, others happy and decided to
spring their jokes on a Ridgefield’audi-
ence in the near future. Harry Mit-
chell was elected secretary to whomra'll
new jokes should be sent, and Charles
J. Bette was elected manager and treas-
urer and stands ready to receive any-
thing in the line of silverware provid-
’-
whole dollars. The company has some

' PLACED DDDDD llRREl
Herman Snyger Arrested for Em-
bezzlement and His Store
Attached.
HisAccounts as Tax Collector Said
to be $5,400 Short.
The city of South Norwalk, as well
as the whole community, were shocked
Monday afternoon by the report that
Herman Snyder, the collector of taxes
in that city for ’91 and ’92, was short in
his accounts. The whole matter was
spread before the city council by Coun-
cilman Slater at their meeting Monday
night and Mgr. Saryder’s shortage re.
orted to be 5,40 .
p At the last meeting of the South Nor-
walk council a resolution was passed
instructing Councilman Slater-to con-
fer with Mr. Snyder and report a list
/ of thoTse who had not paid their taxes
on the list of 1892; it having been re-
ported that there was over $6,000 un-
When seen b Mr. Slater the tax col-
lector said heEheld several checks dated
ahead and that owing to the hard times
he had been as lenient as possible Wllh
the tax' a ers.
. Mr. Slhtir said that Mr, Snyder had
promised to furnish him With a list,” but
had failed to do so, and on Monday
when he 'called at the store he was told
that Mr. Snyder was at home Sick. He
then secured the books from Mr. Sny-
der’s daughter and made a thorough
examination of them with the above
result.
As soon as it was found that there
was a shortage Mr. Slater consulted the
city attorney with th’e‘result that a writ
was drawn and Mr. Snyder placed
under arrest charged with embezzle-
‘ment. Being sick at home Officer Pen-
nington was detailed to remain at the
house until Mr. Snyder was able to be
brought to court. . .
City Attorney Light also drew up an
attachment for $10, 000 and late Monday
afternoon Constable Ireland attached
Mr. Snyder’s dry_ goods store on Wash-
ington street and is now in possession
of the same. ' . _.
/ Mr. Snyder has a host of friends in
South Norwalk who will be 10th to be-
lieve that he has embezzled any of the
city’s money and will be_pained to hear
of his unfortunate position.
As tax collector he is under $3,000
bonds, Mr. Dudley P. Ely being on the
same fer $1,500 and Mr. W. B. Hubbell
fora like amount.

Several Men Killed by Trains on
the Consolidated Road.
Station Agent James Hennlon at
’ No-roton one of the Victims.
Four deaths on the rail are reported
as occurring Monday night, among the
number being James Hennion, the sta:
tion agent at N oroton.
Hennion was engaged in loading
trunks on .a truck at the Noroton sta-
tion when the “Gilt Edge” express,
which passes through South N orwalk
at 6 o’clock, came flying past and struck
him, hurling his body over the embank-
ment near the station. When picked
up he was still alive, but unconscious,
and lived only twenty minutes.
Another victim was J usay Bathogue,
one of the Singhalese contingent con-
nected with the Barnum & Bailey show.
He was attempting to board the sleep-
ing car of the Barnum train at Bridge-
port when he was struck by the loco-
motive of the accommodation train due
in Bridgeport at 1:13 a. in. His skull
was fractured, a ragged gash was in his
forehead and his left leg was broken.
The ambulance was sent for but when
it arrived Bathogue was dead. He had
a brother and sister in the show and
they were most crazy with grief over
their brother’s sad death.
Another accident is said to have hap-
pened at the New Haven freight yard,
where it is reported that a- brakeman
was killed, and still another at Stam-
ford where an Italian is said to have
been the victim.

Sensational Evidence Given Before the
Lexow Committee In New York.
NEW YORK, June 5.——The testimony
given before the Lexow committee today
proved to be the most sensational which
has yet been brought out. Mrs. Thurow
told a. story of police blackmail which im-
plicated not only Police Captains McCul—
lagh, now dead, and Doherty of the Fifth
street station, but ex-Senator George F.
Roesch, now civil justice in the Fourth
judicial district, and John any, .L... well
known Tammany politician of the same
district. ‘
pute at 23 Second avenue, swore that she
had paid money to Captain Doherty him-
self several times, and then she was told
by ex—Senator Roesch to whom she coni-
plained of police prosecution, that $150
would fix things all right, -
She paid the money, she said,‘to John
Fay and secured immunity for a short
time only. Rev. Dr. Parlahurst was a close
listener to all the testimony. The testi-
mpny l'll regard to cit-Senator ltoesch‘ was
only admitted after strenuous objections.

the; Mayor and full board rb‘eing pres-
en . - '
. After the reading of the'minutes of
the previous meeting and before any
other business trastransacted an op-
portunity was given parties present to
be heard. ; - ,
Hon. E. J. Hill, president of the
Street Railway presented a profile map
of the manneringwhich it was proposed
to. lay the tracks of the road through
West avenue for the introduction of
electricity, and stated that'he had had
the map prepared at the request of the
chairman of the highway committee.
Councilman Adams remarked that
changes had been made by the. com-
pany, and without authority, in the,
grade of Main street, and pertinently
asked if the company proposed doing
the same on West avenue to suit their
convenience in the relaying of the
tracks._ Hens chairman of the high-
way committee decidedly objected to
any change being made in the present
grade of the tracks on the avenue if
such change was not to the benefit of
the city, and also insisted on the street
being left in, as good condition as at
present.
In reference to the matter of raising
the tracks Engineer Hill said that it
would not be long before the city would
be obliged to fill in ruts on the macadam
of the avenue in order to conform With
the established grade and in that event
the tracks would be on a level with the
pavement or nearly so. ,
The subject of what had been done
by the railway company on the Winni-
pauk extension was thoroughly. dis-
cussed, attention being drawn to the
fact that the grade near West Main street
had been materially changed, and the
chairman of the highway committee
stated that the present locatiOn of a
catch-basin in that vicinity would have
’to be changed to conformwith the new
grade, and was of the opinion that the
railway company ought to pay for the
same, and this opinion was the sense
of the entire board.
Mr. E. J. Hill said that it had cost
the company nearly $500 to remove one
catch-basin on the line of the road,and
he would like to see about the one al-
luded to before making any specific
promise that the same would be re-
moved at the expense of the company.
Said that the company was willing and
Would do what was fair and equitable
in the premises.
Councilman Boyer was decided in his
opinion that the company should leave
the roadway. in as good condition as
they found it and at their own expense.
Did not think it right for the company
to make any change in the grade of the
..street without first asking permission
of the council. Ivnsisted on the street
being placed in as good condition as it
Was found. Thought that contractors
had-been slighting their work in this
respect, and complimented, the chair.
man of the highway committee on'hav-
ing finally placed a man on the street
to see that the city’s interests were not
infringed upon. Said that it had cost
the city $14,000 to macadam the street
and that it was not only the interest of
the tax payers but the duty of the
council to see that the street was not
not putting the street in the same condi-
tion as they found it.
Councilman Wheeler voiced the sen-
timents oer. Boyer and thought the
stand taken by him was for/the best
interests of the city.
E. J. Hill said that he would be glad
to meet the highway committee and
arrive at an agreement as to the laying
of the tracks on West avenue.
It was finally Voted to leave the mat-
ter of the laying of tracks on West
avenue in the hands of the highway
committee with power.

The chairman of the sewer commit.
tee, Councilman Pinneo, reported that
last year the cleaning of the catch
basins had been let out by contract at a
cost of $1.25 a basin; he had succeeded
in having the work thoroughly done
under his regime at an average cost of
eighty cents a basin: _
'Chief of police Bradley reported
thirteen arrests for last month and the
number of tramps housed as 223.
Councilman Wheeler of the light
justed the matter of the Norwalk Gas

received the company’s receipt for
81,054. 66 in full for their claims against
the city. Of this amount $274.31 was
for interest. His action in the matter
was approved by the council. . ’
Councilman Pinneo presented a map
of the proposed sewer on Butler streét
and the City Clerk was author-
ized to advertise for bids on the con-
struction of the same, the successful
bidder to furnish a sufficient bond for
the completion of the sewer.

mittee was authorized to borrow $1,000.

with the N. 85 S. N. Electric Light Co.
for city lights. Said that it had been

General Term .» Reverses. the $3 7,500.
Judgment In Her Favor.
A NEW TRIAL is ”ORDERED.
She Renown-ed the Verdict Some Time Ago
Against Colonel Alexander Pollock For
Alternating fier- Husband’e Affec-
tions—A Very Romantic Case.
NEW YORK, June 5.—A_lexander Pol-
lock won’t have topay $37,500 to Ellen
Pollock, his son’s wife, for an alleged
alienation of her husband’s affections.
In June last a jury in the court of com-
- .mon pleas awarded that amount to Mrs.
Pollock, J r., after along and sensational
trial. ' _ . .
Today the general term of common pleas
reversed that decision, Judge . Bischofl
writing it. The judges who make up the
general term ordered a new trial. When
it will come 03 is yet undetermined.
The appeal was taken by the defendant
upon the judgement andnpon two orders,
each of which denied a. motion for a new
trial. .
Mrs. Pollock alleged that Mr. POllock,
Sr., deprived her of her husbandis' alien-2
tions, and that by threats and. offers of-
money he had induced his son to abandon
his wife. According to the decision, the
verdict did not agree with facts, and the
jury did not consider the case temperately
and dispassionately. The judgment- is
therefore set aside and a new trial or
dered.
_ An Unwlse Move. g
The decision admits that the father was
displeased with his son’s marriage, but he
still gave him employment and harbored
him. at home and expressed a wish that
his son might be cxt-ricated from the mar-
ital alliancc. - , > ,
5“Perhaps unwisely,” says the decision
in discussing these matters and in going
on to cite that the. defendant had the plain-
Itiff ejected when she invaded his heme
and place of business. .Thcn follows the
gist of the decision. '
“But these facts, ’ ’ it says, “did not jus-
tify the verdict. It yet remains to be ju-
dicially sanctioned that parental solici-
tude for a child’s felicity is a reprehensible
quality and that the natural grief and
displeasure of the parent because of the
child’s marital alliance, which to the
former seems apprehensive of the latter’s
future discontent, must give way to re-
joicing, lest‘the parent should be exposed
to liability in damages by his disapproval
of his or her anticipated advantages of the
marriage.”
Judge Daly wrote a short opinion, in
which he finds sufficient evidence to sus-
tain a verdict for the plaintiff, but that
the amount awarded was excessive? He
therefore favors a new trial with the oth-
er judges. -
A Romantic_Case.
Six years ago young Eddie Pollock, 17
years old, secretly married Ellen Mahoncy,
then 22, who was employed as a servant
by the young man’s father, wealthy Alex:
under Pollock’of Nyack, Rocklandcoun-
- ty. The marriage was kept secret for four
years, or until yOung Pollock attained
his majoriy. - ‘ ‘
At the expiration of that time the young
wife confessed the secret marriage to her
youthful husband’s parents. Instead of
welcoming their daughter-in-law to the
bosom of the family, Mr. Pollock, Sr., dc—
clared that the youth should be no longer
a. son of his so long as he chose to live with
his wife.
At last young Pollock deserted his wife
and returned to the parental roof. His re-
turn was the signal for great rejoicing,
and the fatted calf was killed in his honor.
Then Ellen Pollock brought suit against.
Alexander Pollock for alienation of hei'
husband’s affection. Great interest was
shown in the outcome of the suit “by the
general public. Sympathy was pretty gen-
erally with the whilom servant girl. Not-
able counsel were retained on both sides, ‘
Alexander Thain appearing for Alexander
Pollock and Colonel James championing
the cause of the deserted Wife. The trial
of the case occupied» a week and fairly
bristled with sensational testimony.
