State Register.
The Connecticut State Register and
Manual for 1895 is out, and we are in—
debted to Secretary of State Mowry
for an advanced copy. The issue is
larger than the 1894 Manual, but the
matter, including the errors, is essen-
tially the same. Some improvement,
however, has been made by adding the
votes in the towns for representatives
in the General Assembly, the salaries
of the members of the state boards and
commissions and all other appointed
officers.
In the statistics of towns the same old
error is found relative to Norwalk.
The 1894 Manual gave the city of Nor-
Walk 3,079 and the city of South Nor-
walk 4,013, while the new Manual gives
Norwalk the same, but increases South
Norwalk to 5,313. The population of
the city-of Norwalk is over 7,000, which
makes the Manual valueless as far as
Norwalk statistics are concerned.
In 1890 the Manual gave the borough
of Norwalk 5,308 and according to the
new Manual we have decreased in the
last five years until now we only num—
ber 3,079.
Attention has been called to this
error for several years, but through
the neglect of some one it has never
been Corrected.
Oysters are Safe.
Our oysters are now reported to be
all right, and it is said everybody may
safely eat them. Of course our oysters
never were all wrong, as this report
seems to imply, but there Was a little
scare about them. That scare, like
every other, spread in a moss ridiculous
way, and grow as it spread.
Some people had fever in New Haven,
and the doctors held certain oysters re—
sponsrble. It was found that the bed
from which these oysters were taken
was near to the mouth of a stream that
received sewage. All the sewage story
Was priLt-sd. Then it spread abroad
that oysters were a cause of typhoid fe-
ver, and the story went to all caters of
oysters in this country and elsewhere.
But the report was not limited to
oysters from one small bed in Connec-
tzcut. As it went abroad in the world
it included all American oysters, and
thus it came about that the ‘whole oys-
t r
of the misdeeds of a Very few.
Football.
family got a bad name on account
The action of the liarvard faculty in
praczically forbidding the playing of
football by the students of that univer—
sty is said to haVe been caused. by the
brutality which has become its most
conspicuous feature. Whether the
alleged brutality is the cause of the
faculty’s notion or the failure of that
university to win from Yale, true it
is, that football, if kept Within the
bounds of reason, is one of the finest of
the many athletic sports of the age. It
is not only healthful, but selentific. It
requires a development of physical
manhood whicn gives a zest to life that
is unknown to a sedentary occupation.
It is an ozone that gives fresher life to
every movement and an elasticity of
step that proclaims freedom from care.

George W. Booth andvAnnle Mead
Again in the Clutches of
‘- the Law.
Constable Hunt Makes a Descant
On An Alleged House of
ill Fame.
Constable Thomas Hunt made a raid
late Sunday night or early this morn-
ing at a house owned by M. Ratchford
» on the West Rocks road, and occupied
by George Booth, and a woman said to
be his wife, but better known as Annie
Mead. .
Complaint had been made to Consta-
ble Hunt by the parents of a Mrs. Wood
Of New Cannau, that their daughter
was in the habit of frequenting a house
in Norwalk which they believed to be
ofadisorderly character. In looking
for the New Cannan woman, the Officer
become convinced that ths Booth house
Was a disorderly one and securing the
assistance of Augustus Martin, John
Tully and Luke Dorney, he raided the
place. ‘
Fred Hart, Harry Gage, Mr. and
Mrs. George Booth, Lillie Davis, and a
man named Gregory, were found in the
house, placed under arrest, and locked
up in the station house.
While the officers were preparing to
transfer the prisoners to the station-
house, Mrs. Booth slipped into another
room and followed by Mr. Hunt was
seen attempting to get a washtub con-
sight by dropping a trap-door over a
hole cut in the floor: of an apparently
unoccupied room. The officer also con—
fiscated two or three bottles of whiskey
of which an attempt had been made to
secrete.
The officer lost sight of Mrs. Booth
for a short time, but finally found her
closely ensconced close up to the wall
under a bed and trying not only to
secrete herself but a demijohn of wine
or liquor. The Davis woman was found
secreted behind a pantry door. Both
women seemed very much chagrined.
Some time since a colored man named
Sydney Smith claimed to have been
robbed at this resort, but at the time
no arrests were made. In last night’s
raid a coat was found in which there
were two letters addressed to Smith,
and this fact may lead up to rearrest of
the Booths on the charge of robbery.
It is but a. few weeks since that the
Booth and Davis women were arrested
.on the charge of having stolen jewelry
lfrom John Barthel, and the Booths have
an unsavory reputation, having been
before the courts on serious charges
for which they have been sent to jail.
The charges against Mr. and Mrs.
Booth are that of keeping a house of ill
fame and against the others of being
frequenters of the same. These‘ charges
will be prosecuted by Attorney Lock-
wood, and the prisoners will be put to
plead this afternoon.-
Further charge against Mr. and
Mrs. Booth is for tie illegal sale of
intoxicants, the prosecuting being done
by Attorney Honneckcr.
From all appearances, at least some
of the prisoners will be given an oppor-
tunity to “do time” in jall.
Frank Foster Fined.
The Isaacs’ street court room. was
crowded this morning, at an adjourned
hearing of the cases of the State vs.
Frank Foster. The complaints were
that of blocking up a sidewalk and re-
fusing tO move on, and of resistance to
an Officer while under arrest. Attorney
Gray for the defense, entered a demur-
rer on both charges, but he was over—
ruled by Justice Rose, who fined the
prisoner $1 and costs on each charge.
An appeal was taken and bonds in the
sum of $100 on each complaint ordered
for the prisOher’s appearance for trial
*in Bridgeport. Messrs. Charles Olm—
stead and Stephen Comstock became
surety in the sum of $200 for the ap-
pearance of Mr. Foster.
Cock Fight Ralded.
At 1:30 o’clock Sunday morning,

POLICE AT A WEED—mo.

Bauer has been in the habit of sending
to, New York a portion of his wages to

Bauer laughed at the letter and gave it
no more thought” until Friday, when he
