Another lntervlw.
FrOm the statement published by the
' News yesterday, the GAZETTE was un-
der impression that Mrs. Kline had
made an affidavit to the effect that she
had not been interviewed by a GAZETTE
representative relative to Justice
Keeler’s actions in the Hong case. To
ascertain the true facts of the case the
GAZETTE again had Mrs. Kline inter-
viewed and was informed that Justice
Keeler had been to the house with a
copy of the. GAZETTE and asked her if
she had been to this office, which Mrs.
Kline rightly denied. She further
stated that she had not been placed
under oath nor had she signed any
papers presented by Mr. Keeler. She
was still under the impression, however,
and so stated, “that she believed the
Justice was after money.”
“Lay on, Macduff, and damn’d be
'him that first cries ’Hold, enough 1”
To Be Sued. a!
The GAZETTE was “obscurely” ad-
vised last evening that it was to be sued
by Justice of the Peace George D.
Keeler of South Norwalk, who takes
exception to the GAZETTE’S published-
statement of his connection with the
case of the poor Chinaman, Hong, and
proposes to vindicate himself. He
needs it.
The GAZETTE sincerely hopes that
Mr. Keeler will invite into court
and give us a chance to vindicate his
record, but we shall certainly demur
if the case is brought before Justice
Keeler.
The GAZETTE reiterates its published
interview wjlh Mrs. Kline and further
adds that only yesterday Mrs. Kline
stated what everybody supposes to be
true “that all Mr. Keeler wanted
was to make money out of the China-
man’s arrest.”_ .
Again inviting Mr. Keeler to take
the GAZETTE into court that his record
may be vindicated, we extend to him
the assurance of our most distinguished
consideration.
._ The GAZETTE was not born yesterday.

Tammany’s Future.
Already there is speculation in New
York about what is to become of Tam-
many, and. rumors of a reorganization
of Tammany with the fellows -who
have been found out, left out. The
public as usual after a great popular
revulsion against political corruption
are assuming that Tammany’s power
for evil is gone, and that if it doesn’t
go to the mourner’s bench, profess con-
version and join the church, it may as
well get ready to furnish”, the corpse
for its own_funeral.
Tammany leaders, however, have no
thoughts of dying or going out of
business unless they are made of a
different kind of human nature from
that of most political corruptionistsl
They have had the breath knocked out
of them and for the moment they are
dazed and groggy and don’t know just
where they are at, but when their
breath comes again and their selfish
cunning begins to assert itself, their
thoughts will be of offices, fat contracts
and other emoluments, honest and dis-
honest, and not of funerals or retire-
ment from the public gaze. This may
be taken for granted, and the New
York reformers should open their eyes
every morning with this hard fact in
the foreground of their mental vision.
Whether Tammany will be able to
reorganize, return to power and secure
control of the government of New York
city again for a long term of years, as
it did after the exposures which led to
the downfall and punishment of Tweed,
will depend on how well the citizens of
New York have learned that the price
of liberty is eternal vigilance. If the
same spirit animates them continually
that animated them in the recent cam-
paign, and they have taken fully to
heart the truth that blind partisanship
has no proper place in the affairs of lo-
cal government, Tammany will go to
pieces and be lost as afactor for evil be-
cause it must. But if the worthy citi-
zens who clasped. hands across party
chasms at the last election in their
eagerness to win a victory for honest
government, go to sleep and suppose
that the reform battle has been won.
forever and a day, or allow party lead-
ers to divide them into opposing camps
in future contests, Tammany will pull
itself together and enjoy the municipal
flesh pots as of yore.
The people who overthrew Tam-
many at the polls will decide 'whether
Tammany is to have a future. They
haven’t: decided it as yet. Tammany
Will have afuture ifit is allowed to,
and an overwhelming defeat at one
election will not convince its leaders
that he Opportunities for poll and
plunder are gone forever.

” Sudden Death. “
' Sterling
carpenter, died very suddenly, shortly
before 5 o’clock;='lEriday afternoon-
About 4:35;:o’cloclr .the attention of
Josiah W. Britto,~ William Greenwood
and Michael Praiber was called to ' the
fact that a man was lying in a helpless
condition on the sidewalk on Water
street opposite the ’ residence of
EphraimMerritt. They immediately
went to his assistance and recognized
the man as Sterling W. Wilson. They
lifted him up and took him into Mr.
Merritt’s house and summoned both
Drs. Hitchcock and Tracey but before
they arrived the man was dead.
Later, at the request of Mrs. Wilson,
funeral director J. D. Jennings was
summoned and the remains were taken
to his late home on Orchard street.
Mr. Wilson was born in Easton, Pa.,
and for some years has been engaged
in the carpenter business in Norwalk.
Several houses remain as monuments
of his skill as a carpenter. He has for
a long time been almost totally deaf.
He enjoyed the respect of all who knew
him and his death will prove a great
loss to Norwalk. »
The funeral will take place from his
late home on Orchard street, Monday
noon. The interment will be at South-

EDITOR GAZETTE: Your Tuesday
evening’s paper stated that one Rich,
of Ridgefield, was arrested the night
before by policeman Kenney fer drunk-
enness, which as the man could not pay
he was taken to Bridgeport jail for 30
days. It came out on the trial that he
had 35 when he left home; that Nor.
walk booze intoxicated him and that
some thief stole his overcoat and all of
his money. Under these circumstances
the average citizen would have sup
posed that a way would have been
found in that court room to let the
poor fellow go home, and go to work
to raise enough to buy another over-
coat. Instead an officer at Norwalk’s
expense takes him over to Bridgeport
jail for four weeks, where the county
will probably pay three dollars per
week for board, which may cost the
sheriff eighty cents per week, and thir-
tv days of a man’s labor is lost. That
is about the whole of it. What this
city wants is a kind hearted city mis-
sionary, who will attend to similar cases
to this one. A man who is backed up
by a dozen citizens who have the grit
and the money to stand by their mis-
sionary‘r in his benificent work around

Ex-Mayor Beatty Convicted.
Daniel F. Beatty, who was Mayor of
Washington, N. J., and was known ex~
tensively as a piano and organ manu-
facturer, was convict ed at Montpelier, -
Vt., yesterday of the fraudulent use of
the mails. He was remanded for sen-
tence. Beatty was arrested on J ans 7,
1893, in New York, at the request of
the United States Marshal at Hartford,
who notified the United States District
Attorney’s office in New York that an
indictment had been found against
Beatty on complaint of William A.
Coley, of South Norwalk. '
It is alleged that Coley had been in-
duced to buy, through circulars sent
through the mail, an organ for $50,
which Beatty represented was worth
$100. Experts declared the organ was
not worth $15. Beatty was arranged
before United States Commissioner
Shields and. was held in $1,000 for trial.
Bond Almost Forfeited.
When the case of W. W. Comst-ock,
of New Canaan, charged with being a
wholesaler of oleomargarine without
paying the internal revenue tax, was
called in theU. S. Court at Hartford,
yesterday, neither the accused nor his
surety Charles- Comstock was in court,
Judge Townsend declared the bond
forfeited, but afterward erased the de-
cision and continued the case to the
next court, when appealed to by Mr.
Comstcck, who claimed the accused
was innocent and the payment of the
bond would be a hardship.
“ ’Twas Ever Thus.”
Does the Gazette dare to assert that

Oh no, the GAZETTE has no idea how
many such letters Mr. Hill may have
had. As the Hour man did send such
an one to a former president there is
no knowing what he may have done to
others. Then too, he is such a noted
adept in falsification it is likely he
would deny it, if he had done so. “It

AGAINST BRUTAL FOOTBALL
L Movement to Institute Criminal Pro-
ceedings In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Proccedings in
the criminal court of Washington may re-
sult from the Thanksgiving day football
game between the Columbia Athletic club
and Georgetown University team, in which
Bahen,quarter back of the university team,
received such injuries that he lies parry
lyzed and at the point ofdeath.
The feeling among the alumni of the
university is exceedingly bitter against
the players of the athletic club. The Rev.
Father Richards, president of Georgetown
ccfllege, has been urged to take the matter
into court, . but is averse to doing so, and
new graduates who are prominent in the
local alumni association are discussing the
advisability of laying the case before the
district attorney.
Several persons Who witnessed the game
have urged the college faculty to take ac-
tion against certain Columbia players and
arevolunteering to appear as Witnesses.
They assert that Bahen was evidently as-
saulted with the intention of injuring him
and puttihg him out of the game. Some
say that the Columbia. men went into the
game with the deliberate intention of com-
pelling the best players of the opposing
team to retire early and talked of their
plans in the clubhouse before the game;
that Captain Carmody and “Big” Ma-
honey, the star players of Georgetown,
were particularly the objects of their at-
tack. Carmody was one of the three
Georgetown men who were carried :from
the field in the first ~ 15 minutes of play.
Mahoney was several times laid out, but
pluckily stuck to his work to the end,
After thc game, however, he was sent to
the infirmary, where he nursed an ankle
swollen to twice its natural size, a stiff
neck and other injuries.
It is not known that a, court was ever
called upon to draw the line upon, What
might constitute an assault in a football
or other athletic game, and if a test is
made of Bahen’s case the outcome Will be
regarded with great interest. Football has
been in exceedingly bad repute in Wash-
ington since Thanksgiving day, and the
action of the Georgetown faculty and di-
rectors, alrcady announced, in prohibiting
games under the present rules, meets With
general approval. Bahcn is reported no
better. The doctors hold out little hope
of his recovery, and none that he will not
be a. cripple if he lives.
EIEXICAN S ATTACKED.
Reported Assault by Guatemalans—lliurf
der of a IVIexican Colonel.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 8.-—Tne latest
of a more serious character than any
which have as yet reached this capital. It
is claimed that the Guatemalans have as-
sassinated a Mexican colonel, member of
the staff of General Lullane, and from
unofficial sources it is reported that a
company of the Nineteenth battalion of
the Mexican forces have had two skir-
mishes with a. force of 400 Guatemalan
guerrillas.
The first assault on the Mexican troops
.~ was a harmless skirmish, but the second
resulted in two Mexican soldiers being
killed. The Guatemalans retreated has-
tily, and it is not known that they suf-
fered any material damage. They are re-
ported as still hovering about the vicinity
of the Mexican troops, but it is believed
that after making the attack they retired
to the Guatemalan side of the interna-
tional line. Should ofiicial information
confirm these reports, it is probable the
Mexican government will at once demand
reparation for the outrage.
The Fort Worth Train Robbery.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 8.-—Thc man-
' agers of the Pacific Express company say
it is impossible to say how much the rob-
bers who held up the Texas and Pacific
train got away with, as all the waybills
are missing. They got very little booty,
however. The contents of the iron through
package box arrived here intact. A sher-
iff’s posse of 15 men have been out with a
pack of bloodhounds. The posse is on a
hot trailnfollowlng the three robbers.

been shipped from a distant point. The
~ head was not badly mutilated, and the po-
lice hope for an identification. ‘
The Czar’s Moderate Policy.
POSEN, Germany, Dec. 8.—A dispatch

affairs of the Catholic clergy or to impose
any orders upon them. General Gourko

There was an exciting meeting of the

New York the other day.

gibing and ungallant; species. Mrs.
Hollahau and Mrs. Bell made some re-
marks reflecting' iupon masculine haters
of bloomers, and then a pretty little wo-
man, slightly built, with fiufiy brown .
hair, and big-blue eyes arose and told her ,
tale of misery. '
-' “I was going over the 100th street just
yesterday,” she said, “when a. beast of a
man up on top of a. big coal wagon, with
his facelall black, yelled at me. ‘You bet
if I was your husband, you [crazy idiot, a-
scaring my horses, I’d make you do some-
thing else than ride around like a. man on
a blasted bicycle.’ ”
Tears came into the young woman’s .
She was .
eyes as she finished her tale.
‘succeeded by one young woman after an-
other, all with stories of injustice. -
Mrs. Hollohan waited patiently until _
they had all finished, and then, like Mrs.
Bell, she asked, “What shall We do about
this?” Mrs. Bell rose again, and every
one kept quiet while she spoke.
“I just tell- you,” she said, “when any
man makes a remark at you, and keeps,
on insulting you, why, if. he is worth the
attention dismount from your wheel and
slap him real good right in the face. If
the man ain’t worth slapping, why, of
course you have to let him go. I was the
second woman to ever wear bloomers, and
I have had some experience. I have al-
ways found that when you slap a man
once real hard he Will let you alone.’ ’,‘
Then she sat down with a determined
shake of her head. Of course this cour-
ageous speech caused much excitement
and hand clapping. As soon as it had
subsided, a small, mild mannered woman
arose, and with a. wave of her hands
made a speech advocating the use of re
volvers, knives and other gore-letting in.
struments. The proposition had differ-
ent efifects upon the different members of
the club. - Some turned pale, others seem-
ed fired With a. burning desire to slaught-
er the next man Who shouted at them,
While others'were too astonished to ap«
prove or disapprove.
A long and heated discussion followed
upon pistols and knives and whether the
police would allow them to carry Weap-
ons. It was finally ended by Mrs. Holla-
han rapping for order and giving the club
a. severe talking to about the silliness of
the idea of carrying weapons. She said
that if such a discussion should reach the
ears of their enemies, the anti-woman
bicyclists, nothing would please them
better and that they would be ridiculed
by every one.
Some of the members looked upon their
President admiringly, while others Were
not ready to drop the fascinating topic
of pistols and other blood-curdling imple-
ments. Mrs. Bell was heard to mur-
mur:
“Well, I’ve got a pistol and I am going
to carry it.” #4:;
A Sun reporter called upon Mrs. Bell to
ask about the pistol she carried. .
“Now, really, you don’t suppose I
would have a real big pistol, with bullets
in it, do you?” she asked in answer to a.
question as to what make of revolver she
preferred for bicyle use. “I mean a little
ammonia pistol—one of those you squirt
at a dog to make him quit biting at your
feet when you are riding.”
“Oh, you don’t carry a. gun, then, do
you?” said the reporter.
“Certainly I don’t,” replied Mrs. Bell,
“and I think it just horrid for the papers
to say I (103;

“These ruffians who drive wagons are

avg-y time I go out. I know I am stout,
an that my bloomers made me look
stouter, but I like them, and am going to
wear them asmuch as I please. A few
days ago a. man insulted me and I went
around to the West Sixty-eighth street
police station and complained about-it,
and told the Sergeant I was going to get
me a police Whistle and use it.‘ He told
me to go ahead, that it was all right and
I am going to do so.”
