This Halllday Case.
The commutation of the sentence of
the woman Elizabeth Halliday by Gov-
ernor Flower from death to imprison-
ment for life is in accordance with pub-
lic opinion. The woman seems to be
no more responsible than a wild ani-
mal, and gifted with a fiendish cunning
that makes her insanity all the more »
dangerous. She should be kept in con-
finement during the remainder of her
life and not released under any circum-
stances. It is (,clear that she was not
fully cured when previously released
from insane hospitals of which she was
an inmate.
England’s Year.
The defeat of the Yale athletic team
and of the Vigilant off the Irish coast
Monday are not calculated to.._inspire
Americans with immoderate pride, but
as this seems to be England’s year to
beat the United States in international
sports we must grin and bear it. The
Oxford team defeated the Yale boys,
winning five of the nine events and
tieing their rivals in a sixth. This close
result, disappointing as it must be to
the Yale athletes and to their country.
men, is not a great surprise, and it is
possible to find considerable consola-
tion in the fact that the teams were so
evenly matched that the last event was
needed to decide the championship.
Notwithstanding the disappointment
occasioned by the defeat of the Yale
boys and the Vigilant, we console our-
selves with the fact that Zimmerman,
~ the American cyclist, completely out-
distaneed Barden, the English chain
pion, at Paris.
A Word as to 1896.
“An ideal candidate,” is the Caption
of an editorial in Co]. McClure’s inde-
pendent Democratic journal which
nominates Senator Cushman K. Davis,
of Minnesota, as the only fitting Be-
'publican candidate for the Presidency-
in 1896. The Times asserts that—4
“The present assault of anarchy
against free government in the majesty
of its laws has developed but two great
men. They are Grover Cleveland, the
Democratic President, who has sized
up to the full measure of his great du-
ties, and C. K. Dayls, Republican Sen-
ator from the state of Minnesota, who
gave to the country the first manly,
patriotic, and courageous utterance in
the support of the government. Mr.
Cleveland is not thought of as a candi:
date- for 1896, as he has been twice
chosen for President; but Senator Davis
has made himself the ideal Republican
candidate for the. great battle of ’96,
and if the Republican leaders are wise
they will present no other name to the
next national convention.”
After commending Senator Davis for
‘ ‘thc promptness and unmistakable ring
of his protest against the. lawlessness
which has disturbed the peace,.the in-
dustry, and the commerce of the coun-
try," the Times says: .
“While Congressman Reed and Gov.
McKinley have been shivering over the
issue in Silence, and ex-Pre sident Har-
rison have been forced to explain him-
self after the backbone of anarchy had
been pratically broken, Senator Davis
is the one man of the Republican lead-
ers who had the patriotism and courage
to place countryabove party and law
above anarchy. Considering that the
most Vital issue of 1896 will be the
supremacy of law, the maintenance of
order and the tranquility of business,
the one ideal candidate for the Repub-
licans for President is Senator Davis,
of Minnesota. With such a candidate
the Republicans could command the
support of hundreds of thousands of
Democrats who regard the majesty of
the law and the prosperity of industry
and trade as vastly moreimportant than
party success. .
It is doubtful if Senator Davis or his
party will feel truly grateful to a Demo-
cratic editor for suggesting the head of
the Republican Presidential ticket, but
virtue is its own reward, and Col. Mc-
Clure is rich in such emoluments. The
Minnesota Senator hasybeen almost uni-
versally commended for saying the
right thingjust in the nick of time, and
the incident will long be remembered
to his credit, although it may not secure
for him a Presidential nomination.
Will Adopt Frances. '
A hearing will be had at the Probate
office, this afternoon, in the matter of
the adoption by Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
Knapp of East Norwalk, of Frances,
the 7.year old daughter of Frederick
B ucklcy, of Bridgeport, he having given
his consent to the adoption. Buckley
was a former resident of N orwalk, and
three of his children werecared for by
the town at the Children’s Home. One
of them a boy was placed with a family
at Greenwich about a year ago, and is
doing well. The third one is still at the
Home. Buckley is said to be of dissi-
pated habits. ’

Ten Freight embledbown an.
‘Embankment.
A King Bolt on the ”Dark Secret”
Parts.
The western bound freight, known to
trainnen all along the Consolidated line
as the “Dark Secret.” pulled cut of
New Haven at 7 o’clock Monday even-
ing behind locomotive 242', Engineer
Stephen Ralph, with 45 cars.
At 8:20 o’clock the train had reached
the Fairficld depot, moving 20 miles an
hour. The rear truck of the eighth car
behind the tender broke freeing the
truck. The wheels of the forward truck
left the rails and the car swung across
the track. Nine other cars immediate-
ly following were piled upon the first
car and upon each other 30 feet high.
The road is four tracked at this point.
Every track was blocked by the piled
up cars, some of which were reduced to
more debris, and remained blocked un-
til early this morning in spite of the ef-.
forts of wrecking crews from Bridge-
port, Norwalk and New Haven.
‘ That there was no loss of life is a re-
markable circumstance. Brakeman
Thomas Murray was the only person to
sustain even a serious accident. Murray
had an escape that might well have
turned his hair white with terror.
He was on top of a car near the point
where the disturbing car was situated.
He perceived the situation as the king
bolt broke and ran for the roar of the
train. He had no sooner left a car he-
hind him than it piled upon. the first
car and became a wreckage. lie had
covered a distance of several cars when
he perceived that the one he was on
must inevitably shatter itself against
those that had gone before, andjlirpped.
It chanced that he landed in a soft spot
in a onion patch and instead of being
dashed to death merely broke an ankle;
Six tramps had an even‘ narrower
escape, They were in one of the cars
that bore the brunt of the shock and
crawled from the very bowels of the
wreck. Dr. Donaldson, who had been
called to attend the injury of Bra eman
Murray, put three stitches in a ound
upon the head of one of the felows. _ A
second fellow sustained a less severe
scalp wound. Murray received cans in
the house of Mr. Fitzgerald. a neighbor-
ing resident.
kingbolt parted that his train had bro-
ken in two, and with the six cars left to
him ran ahead. The trucks of the sixth
car were absent and the car dragging
left a fiery trail behind it, like a comet.
Four cars were smashed to kindling
wood. The other six were badly shat-
tered. The method pursued in clear-
ing away the debris was prompt and
efficacious. Two heavy engines work-
ing from either side of the Wreck, drag-
ged out a car each at a time from the
heap of wreckage, and it was rolled off
the embankment.
The bridge was practically uninjured.
It consists simply of ties laid upon
girders across stone abutments. Sev-
eral-heavy blocks of stone, were shaken
from their positions. 5A few ties were
splintered. The rails Were spread and
new rails were laid.
The wreck caused a delay of trains
going west for nearly three hours. The
west bound track was not cleared for
the passage of trains until a late hour
this morning. 7
The injury to Murray’s ankle was ex-
amined and dressed at the emergency
hospital, Bridgeport, by Dr. Gordon.
The doctor found that Murray had sus-
tamed a strain, a fracture and a sprain
of the ankle. The injury will disable
Murray for over a year. This was his
third railroad accident and he says he
thinks his life is charmed, as in both
previous accidents his fellow trai-nmen
were killed. ’
COO
Overdrew His Bank Account.
E. H. Burr, formely freight car agent
of the New York, NewHaven and Hart-
ford road in Danbury, was arrested
Sunday evening by Policeman Brady
upon a warrant charging him with
obtaining money on false pretenses.
He was released under bail and ap-
peared in court Monday. His hearing
was continued until to-day.
Mr. Burr is a depositor at the Dan-
bury National bank and it is alleged
that he gave a check for a greater
amount than he had to his credit in the
bank. He disclaims any attempt to de-
fraud. He became involved in similar
difficulties in Westport and in; South
Norwalk a short time ago, but was
not arrested and afterwards made ood
the amount of his deficit at the ban .
After Burr’s arrest Sunday a telegram
was received from Pittsfield by the
police instructing them to arrest E. H.
Burr, asa warrant for him was held
there. The charge was obtaining
money under false pretenses. An ofii-
cer is expected from Pittsfiold, but he
Will be unable to take his man back
there as he must first answer to the
charge against him in Danbury.

Four Stitches Required to Close
the Wound in His Head.
The Boston express which leaves
South Norwalk at 4.20 p. m., struck an
id man, aged about 70 years, just be.
ow the Rowayton- depot, yesterday
afternoon. The man was walking on
the track, but stepped off to allow the
express to pass, and did not notice a
freight train rapidly approaching on
the up track, until it was almost upon
him. Then becoming confused he did
not calculate the distance between the
two trains correctly, and was struck on
the right Slde of the head by the cylin-
der of the express. He Was knocked
down and fell between the two tracks,
with his head almost under the
wheels of the freight, but strange to
say the train did not touch him. To a
GAZETTE reporter who was on the train
and who helped pick him up, he said,
after he recovered consciousness, that
his name was John Tuckman and that
he lived in Brooklyn. He was visiting
friends in Georgetown, and came down
in the afternoon to take the train to
Noroton to call on another friend named
Kane. When the train reached Roway-
ton he misunderstood the name of the
station and got ofi‘, thinking it was
Noroton. On discovering his mistake
he started down the track to walk to
the latter place. The only injury he
sustained was the cut on the top of his
head, from which the blood flowed copi-
ously. He was taken to the Darien de-
pot where Dr. Lightle took four stitches
in the wound, after which he started
for N oroton. ,

A petition was received from the
property owners on Leonard street re-
questing that curb, gutter and side-
walk be laid on both sides of the street,
and it was so ordered, and the Clerk
authorized to notify said property own-
ers.
Mayor Keeler, as one'of the commit-
tee on additional water ”supply. made
the following report :‘ ..
Your committee appointed to look over the
matter of the water' supply of the City of
that they call, at their earliest convenience, a
city meeting for the pur ose of making such
appropriation as may be eemed necessary for
the purchase. or for the condemnation of the
various mill rights from the Grape reservoir
to the city, and also to make an appropriation
to pay for the change of the roadway wh re
land has been purchased for future rescrvorr.
The report called forth considerable
discussion on the part of. the Council
owing to the fact that it did not recom-
mend an appropriation to lay the neo-
essrry pipe to bring the water down to
the distributing reservou'. Water Com-
missioner Mead appeared and stated
that the reason that an appropriation
to lay pipe had not been recommended
was because thecommittee‘ thought it
better to ask for a small appropriation
at first and then call for another to lay
the pipe. The Council did not favor
this plan,_and after further discussion
the followmg resolution was passed :
Resolved, that the"‘Mayor call a special city
meeting for-Tuesday. July 21. 1894. at 3 o’cloc
p. m., for the purpose of carrying out the rec-
.ommendation of the water committee in mak-
ing the necessary appropriation for the pur.
chase or condemnation of the different water
and mill rights between Gru e’s reservoir and
the city, and 'to change roa ways Where nec-
essary, if ,,deemed adnsable; and also to ap-
propriate moneyO'necessary to la a pipe of
sufllcient dimension to bring an a equate sup.
ply of water from the Grupe‘reservoir to the
City. ' i , .
An invitation to,” attend the first pic-
nic of Hope HoseIWas received and ac-
cepted Tax collector A. A. .Betts was
present and stated that the City Assess-
ors had failed to recognize theexemp-
tion of~$l,000 allowed. by law to old
soldiers and asked for instructions. He
was authorized to leave the matter un-
til the end of the year when all exemp-
tions would be acted upon at once.
Councilman Boyer inquired as to the
amount of money the tax collector had
deposited to the credit of the city and
upon being informed that there was
$5,000 on hand made a motion to pay
notes 1, 2 and 3 of $1,000 each, which
was agreed to. Councilman Chinery
reported progress in the matter of uni-
‘forms for Hope Hose._ He also made a
report on_ the condition of the fire
alarm sauce, which shows that valua-
ble adjunct to be in a poor condition.

ed that the committee met avweek ago,
but did not come to a full decision as to
What the duties of J .H. Hoyt, superin-
tendent of the fire alarm. were. He
submitted the application of Mr. Hoyt
for the position with the remark that
Mr. Hoyt’s ofl'er defined the superin-
tendent’s duties clearly. The applica-
tion of Mr. Hoyt was dated September
23, 1886, and offered to "take full charge
and keep batteries and boxes in order,
and make such changes in line as may
be required. Keep lines in repair and
strlkh bell each day, (Sunday except-
ed.) The report was accepted; and
the committee continued ,and ordered

LONDON, July . 17.—It seemed that all
roads led to Kensington today. Interest
In the international contest between the
Yale . and Oxford tennis was intense
throughout the kingdom; It .appeared
early that the crowd of spectators would
be enormous. All tickets for the games
had been sold by last Saturday.
At 3 p. in. a fine rain was falling, and
the outlook was very gloomy. But few
of the spectators were present, but the of-
tho weather Would clear up somewhat be-
fore the time set for the opening sprint. ~
The Yale tcuin arrived at the grounds
from their hotel at 4 p. in. There was no

demonstration of any kind, as their arri-
val was conducted in a very quiet manner.
The Americans went immediately to
their dressing rooms and were soon being
rubbed down by the trainers.
The Oxford men had been on the ground
some time before, and when the handlers
were through with the Yale athletes they
were photdgraplicd in a group.
The grounds by this time had commenc-
ed to fill up slowly, although it was still
raining. The many hundreds of umbrel-
las which wore open on all sides made the
croWd dreary and sober looking and, in
,fact, cast an aspect of gloom over the en-
tire surrouiidlngs in spite of the music,
- which the band furnished vigorously in
order to cheerin the assemblage of much
dampened athletic enthusiasts. , By 4:20
the grounds, contrary toexpectation, 'vverc
only about two-thirds full. Many of the
toilets of the ladies showed by their dark
blue colorings that they were in sympathy
with Oxford, but there were also a num-
ber of ladies present whose display of “the
light blue colors of Yale shovved that the
fair sex of America intended to do its ut-
most to encourage the young athletes of
New England, who have won so many
friends by their gentlemanly and sports.
manlike conduct since they have been in
this country.
Evorybody Abused the Weather.
American and English, who crowded into
the pavilion indulged in endless anathe-
mas against the weather, and everybody
present was in sympathy with them, for
a more wretched day cOuld hardly be lm‘
aglncd. '
The royal box was filled with ambassa-
dors, ministers, etc., including the Sia-
lntercst in athletic sports.
The United States embassado‘r, the Hon.
Thomas—F. Bayard, and Mrs. Bayard, Blsh»
op Potter and all the secretaries of the
United States embassy were conspicuous
in, a group which was surrounded by the
foreign "representatives who were in sym—
pathy with the Yale men. ' -
All the American ladies were naturally
proud of the American athleta represent-
atives from New England, anf they gave
an enthusiastic greeting to a Yale man
who inspected part of the track. By this
time the rain had ceased... but the weather
.contlnued threatening. '
At the hour of starting the contests,
prominent among
the crowds on the
grounds, and their
enthuslasm was
unbounded as they
expressed c o n f i-
dcnce in a victory
for the Yale team,
couraging reports
, . which had been
’ received from the
trainers. On the
. other hand, the
- admirers of Ox-
saxronn. ford were quietly
satisfied with the reports they heard con-
cerning the athletes representing the old
university, and whilo not as confident as
the Americans they were very hopeful
that the dark blue of Oxford Would win a
majority of the events.
The bell was rung promptly at 4:30 p.
m. for the competitors in’ the 100 yard
dash to appear. The Oxford men wore
white suits trimmed with dark blue, and
Yale wore light blue shirts with White
bands. .
’ The moment the Yale men appeared the
band struck up “Hail, Columbia,” which
was greeted with loud applause on all
sides, the cheering and hand clapping be,
ing broken by the “tabs”. of the Yale
men and their friends. ._

then the pistol was fired which, sent the

The Chinese-Japanese Dispute.
BERLIN, July 17.—-The North German
Gazette, commenting upon British medi-
ation inthe Chinese-Japanese dispute re;
garding Korea, says that such mediation
does not necessarily mean a settlement of
the difficulty, as it is clear that Japan
wants to profit by the troubles to push
the Chinese out of the peninsula. It is a
warlike symptom that Japan lately not
only chartered transports, but bought
them at any price, as the chartered chips
would have to be restored to their foreign
owners in the event of war in order to
avoid a breach of neutrality.
Evan Settle's Confession.
LEXINGTON, ‘Ky., July 17.—Evan E.
Settle, Breckinridgo’s opponent, addressed
a large crowd here last night. Many la-
dies were present. He surprised his au-
dience by confessing that about 12 years
ago he was adrunk'ard and agambler and
that he had mortgaged his home and lost
the money at cards; that his wife sued for
the recovery of the money, but . the court
of appeals overruled the decision of the
lower court. and she got nothing.
