Caught Again.

The News yesterday published a
description of the new steamboat,
that .the New York and Norwalk
Steamboat company is to place on the
route between South Norwalk and New
York, next month, and editorially says
that, “the News which furnishes its
slow contemporaries with. important
cues to news gives the public the infor-
mation tO-day that a new steamboat
has been constructed for the Norwalk
and New York Steamboat company and
will be placed on the Norwalk route
the coming seasOn.”

If our inexperienced neighbor will
look at the GAZETTE of December 11th,

1304, he will find a description of this

new boat, together with all the facts of
it 3 being placed on the Norwalk route,
that corresponds so nearly with that re-
h-ished by the News yesterday, that he
would be convicted of piracy even be-
fore Justice Keeler.

Country Roads.

This is the season in which the farmer
discoviers no roads in his section fit to
revel on, and realiZes also that the
Selectmen chosen the year before are
just as bad as the roads. Country
highways are never worse than in the
spring. Betiveen frost and moisture
the mixture on the roadbed is either
mud or mortar, and this must dry away
as soon as the sun finds time to do the
work of the Selectmen, as there usually
is no drainage. One Of the fine Effects
is to quarantine the country against the
thu, as few farmers will risk breaking
that sort of blockade.” It means ruin

Death of B. D. Purdy.

Captain Burling D. l’ardy, one of
New Canaan’s best known citizens died
on lMonday night, in the eighty-third
year of his age. The deceased had
been a resident of New Canaan for
more than halfacentury, and in one
way or another, especially in political
affairs, was always a conspicuous figure
in that community. He served as Se-
lectman of the town for many years,
and as Justice of the Peace, Grand
Juror, 610., and two or three times was
elected to the Legislature in Democrat-
is years. He commanded a company in
the old state militia, and there obtained
the title of Captain. He was a char-
ter member of Wooster Lodge, I. O.
O. F., and was always a devoted
and popular member of that organiza-
tion. A son anda daughter survive
him.

That $3,000.

The other day George L. Lockwood
saw an advertisement in a New York
paper to the effect that a sum of money
amounting to about $3,000 awaited a
claimant named George L. Lockwood
in that city. George. who works for
DeKlynTbecame satisfied that he was
the only person by that name living in
Norwalk, and sent his wife down 1'.)
substantiate his claim. She learned
that the bequest was to the infant son
of Manice De F. Lockwood. Baker
George L. will continue peddling bread,
and be forced to be content with
thoughts of what might have been.

7 cross examination,

 

Surprising Developments at Tues-
day Afternoon’s Hearing of
the Charges.

Booth and Mead Each Placed Under
$300 Bonds.

The case of the State vs. George W.
Booth was continued before Justice
Rose at the Isaacs street court room
Tuesday afternoon. Booth is charged
with keeping a house of ill fame. The
details of his arrest, with the occupants
and visitors at his house'cn West Rocks
road, have already been thoroughly
ventilated.

The cOurt room‘ was crowded. The
air in the room was hot and almost
stifling, if not indeed vitiated to the
extent of disease breeding. There was
little or no ventilation. Nevertheless
the crowd “held the fort” until the
hour of adjournment, and not one was
there but who on leaving the room did
not seemingly snuff the fresh air out-
side with a degree of satisfaction.

The testimony of'several witnesses,
on the part of the State was taken by
Prosecuting Attorney Lockwocd, and
each witness was subjected to a close
cross examination by the attorney for
the defense, Mr. John J. Walsh.
Among the witnesses examined touch-
ing on the allegations in the charge
were, Mr. and Mrs. John Porter,
Daisy Porter, Fred Porter, Mrs. Sam-
uel Holley, Frank Crowther and Simeon
B. Keith, most of whom gave damaging
testimony to at least the reputation of
the house. 7
In the instance of Mr. Crowther he
made a stitement to the effect that he
had of a Sunday seen a dozen or more
intoxicated people in the vicinity of the
house occupied by Booth and his alleg-
ed paramour. He, and also other wit-
nesses, testified as to the reputation of
the house as trending to be that of ill
fame. ‘

As will be remembered, among those
arrested at the time of the raid, were
Harry Gage and a man named George
Gregory on the charge offrequenting a
house reported or alleged to be a house
of ill fame. During the hearing of the
testimony of the above mentioned wit-
nesses it was whispered through the
vitiated air of the room that both Gage
and Gregory had, so to Speak, “turned
state’s evidence,” a whisper that resolv-
ed itself into a sound that could be
plainly heard by all, shortly after Gage
took his seat in the witness chair. ;

‘ In the direct examination of Gage,
by Attorney Lockwood, in which the
witness was skillfuly catechized, con-
siderable information derogratory to
Booth and apparently in favor of the
state was elicitatcd. Gage in substance
testified that he had'been a visitor at
the alleged resort which he knew as the
Booth house. He had seen intoxicants
on sale there; had called a number of
times; had met others there; had seen
women go upstairs in the house with
men; had heard the place talked about
and also heard that one of the former
inmates was in a delicate condition
while at the house; the house had the
reputation of being a tough place, etc.

Before taking the witness in hand for
Attorney Walsh-
with apparent surprise, mixed with no
small amount of indignation, stated to
the court that he was placed in a pe-
culiar position, as he had been retained
to defend Gage, but now found his
client on the side of the prosecution.
He then proceeded to give Gage a
scathing examination.

He first asked him as to what had
been offered him by the prosecution to
change his plea from “not guilty” to
“guilty.” He elicited the information
from Gage that he had plead guilty and
that judgment had been suspended.
Gage denied that he was a witness for
the prosecution, but that he had de-
cided to act as he did after being told
by an officer “that he was a fool to put
himself in a hole for anyone else,” and
that he now proposed telling the truth
about the whole matter. No promise
had been held out to him for his action.
Objection being made to some of the
questions asked the witness by Mr.
Walsh, the witness escaped with a last
shot or question which he indignantly
denied.

Simeon R. Keith testified in an ex-
pressive manner that the reputation of
the house was bad, and got away with
but one pointed question on the cross-
examination, which he satisfactorily
answered.

The court then announced that an
adjournment would be takeuunti19230
o’clock, this morning, at which time
none but witnesses and those directly
interested in the proceedings would be
admitted.

A comparatively small and orderly
crowd assembled at the court room this
morning to listen to the resumption of
the case. .

George Gregory, who had with Gage
pleaded guilty to frequenting a house
reputed to be of ill fame, was the first
witness called. His testimony went to
substantiate that of Gage and the other
witnesses.

Fred Hart was placed on the stand
in his own behalf and stated that he
visited the place on the night he was
arrested, for the purpose of collecting

 

a bill.

This ended the case so far as the ex-
amination of witnesses was concerned.
"The arguments of the. attorneys for
prosecution and defense, were on tech-
nical points of law. ~ ~

The court then placed George W.
Booth and Annie Mead under $300
bonds each for trial in Bridgeport, on
the charge of keeping a house reputed
to be of ill fame. Ida Davis Hoyt was
fined 37 and costs for resorting to. the
'same house. Fred Hart was given a
nominal fine of $1 and costs for fre-
quenting the resort, and the trials of
Gregory and Gage postponed for one
week. ‘ _

Booth and his paramour, Annie Mead,
were taken to jail in default of obtain-
ing bonds, as was also Ida Hoyt who
was unable to pay her fine.

Bridgeport Horse Runs Away.

Tuesday afternoon, during the
heighth of the snow-squall, there might
have been seen, in fact there was seen,
a black horse hitched t) a business
wagon trying to keep pace with the,
wind in making a circuit of what is
known as the “church green.” And
right hard did he contest for the honors.

fter making one circuit of the green,
the animal seemed to consider himself
out of the race and ran into the door-
yard and around a house on the west
side of the Green, and thence to the
S. B. S. Bissell place where he threw
himself down into the street. Here he
was cared for by the parties who had
driven him over from Bridgeport.
The turnout belonged to Sexton of the
Sexton Marble Works in that city.
The damage done would not require
three figures to print it. Two or three
teams, however, had narrow escapes
from coming into collision with the
runaway.

HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.

While Mr. Underhill’s agent was
working up an interest in the series of
recitals which was so admirably launch-
ed on the 10th inst. he was often met
with the remark “I don’t care much
for Shakespeare, but I shall go to the
second one any way,” and indeed,
many have looked upon “The Rivals”
as the gem of the course. They will
not be disappointed. for Mr. Underhill
is thoroughly at home in all the parts
and there is no flaw from beginning to
end. The humor of it is simply irresis-
tible, and as a specimen of character
impersonation it is perfect. Tuesday,
April 2nd is the date. —

HOYT’s OPERA HOUSE.

The Hartford Courant says of “Prince
Pro Tem.” which appears at Hoyt’s
Opera House next Monday night:
“Lively in dialogue, bright in music
and amusing in situation “Prince Pro
Tom” could not fail to please. The
musical fantasia as the program calls it
was warmly greeted at Proctor’s last
night when encores followed almost all
the musical numbers. R. A. Barnet
has repeated in the book the successes
he made with “1492” and “Tabasco,”
but without repeating himself. He has
inade the present piece on entirely new
mes. .

The central idea is that the Prince of
Fogia, by the laws of the country must
pay the penalty for all crimes and
offenses committed by his subjects.
He tires of this and looks around for
some one to reign a. while in his stead.
The _ person -is found in Tommy
Tompkins, a New Jersey collector of
animals and freaks. Most of the action
occurs while this Prince pro tem occu-
pies the throne.

Ac the Prince Pro Tem, Fred Lennox
showed himself an entertaining comedi-
an, a good singer and an easy, natural
act-or. His chief assistant in the merry
_making was Miss Josie Sadler, whose,
comical ways received appreciative ap-
plause. She is a truer comedian than‘
a woman Often‘beconles.” ‘

The German Emperor iPays Marked
Honor to Prince Bismarck.

AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.

The Youthful Crown Prince. “’38 Fomnally
Presented to the “Iron Chancellery”
Who \Vas Also Made the Recip-
ient of a. Handsome Sword.

FRIEDRICHSRUH, March 27.—Emperor
William today, at the head of a detach-
ment .of cavalry, infantry and artillery,
with colors flying and bands playing, paid
his respects to Prince Bismarck, presented
him with a sword of honor in behalf of
the army and congratulated him upon

nearing the eightieth anniversary of his

birthday.

His majesty was accompanied by the
crown prince, Frederick William; General
Bronsart von Schellandorf, the minister of
war, and the officers of his military house-
hold.

Thc ceremonies attending the visit of

the emperor to the great chancellor, though
marred by showersof rain, were brilliant
and imposing. . _

All the approaches' to the castle were
guarded by police, the local force of gen-
darmes being re-enforced by 51 picked po-
licemen from Berlin. but the crowds roam-
ed at will through the Sachsenwald, and
nearly 1,000 persons gathered behind a
low hedge on the railroad embankment op-
posite the castle, While others were grouped
along the roadway to Aumuchle, a village
not far from Friedrichsruh, and waited
patiently in the drenching showers for the
arrival of the emperor.

» His majesty and his suit left Berlin on
a special train at 8:20 for Fricdrichsruh,
but he did not travel the whole way . here
by train, preferring to alight at Aumuehle,
Where be mounted a horse, and accom-
panied by the ofliCcrs of his military house-
hold and attended by a brilliantly unl-
fo'rmed staff rode quickly to thé’spot se-
lected for the assembling of the troops who
had been detailed to do honor to Prince
Bismarck.

Blsmarck’s Regiment Drawn Up.

In the meanwhile the imperial train,
with the crown prince. proceeded to Fried-
richsruh, and soon after the latter’s ar-
rival here, so perfect were the arrange-
ments, music in the distance announced
the approach of the cavalcadc. headed by
his majesty.

When the emperor arrived at the point
of assemblage of the troops from Au-
muchle railroad station, 110 found drawn
up. ready fOr his inspection, a squadron of
the Hacberstadt culrassic I of which regi-
ment Princc Bisjliarck, as honorary colo-
nel, wore the uniform yesterday; the
Seventy-sixth regiment~ of infantry, a
squadron of the Fifteenth hussars, all with
colors flying, with their regimental bands
in attendance; and a battery of the H01-
stein artillery regiment. _

With the emperor at its head this force
was'm’arched to ancpcn Space" in Prince
Bismarck’s park, and upon arrival there
the troops were deployed in parade order.

The approach of his majesty was the
signal for a. storm of “Hochs” which rent
the air, and which were taken up on all
sides with great enthusiasm, for there is
no doubt that the emperor’s graceful trib-
ute to the great German statesman, fol—
lowing so cloQJ-after the strange action of
the reicllstag in refusing to congratulate
Prince Bismarck on his birthday, has won
hearty approval from many quarters.

Owing to tho douse foliage of the trees in
the park and neighborhood, the troops
were not seen until they actually emerged
upon the parade ground.

The crown prince and his suit, includ-
ing General Count vcn Walderseo, had in

the meantime walked to the parade ground, ~

and as the emperor appeared on one side
Prince Bismarck’s carriage emerged upon
the ground from the other side. The
prince .wore the uniform of the Haebef-
stadt cuirassiers.

When his majesty caught sight of the
prince, he spurred his horse forward, and
sitting gracefully in his saddle rode at a
fast canter to the carriage of the veteran
statesman and soldier and cordially shook
hands with him. The emperor then pre-
sented the crown prince and his suit to
Prince Bismarck.

An Imposing Spectacle.

The latter took the young prince into
his carriage, and. with the emperor riding
behind it, and General von Waldersee
walking beside it, the carriage was driven
down the lines of soldiers, the officers sa-
luting, the troops presenting arms and the
bands playing patriotic airs as the prince
and empgror passed.

His majesty took up a position in front
of the troops and delivered an address of
congratulation to the prince. Then, in the
name of the‘army, the emperor presented
Prince Bismarck with a sword of honor of
antique form, richly embossed and inlaid
With gold.

In presenting the sword Emperor Wil-
liam, referring to the presence of the cui-
rassiers. said that he handed him the gift
in recognition of his deeds, adding: ‘

“I could not have found a better present
than a sword. Whether as the weapon of
the ancient Germans or as a symbol of
never failing resource, and upon it are on-
graved the united arms of the reichsland.
May your serene highness look upon this

as a. token of gratitude for deeds recorded-

in history which were brought to a conclu-
sion 25 years ago. Let us, comrades,
shout a hurrah for his serene highness
Prince Bismarck, duke of Lauenberg. ”
When the inspection was over, Prince
Bismarck went to his house, stood on the
terrace, from which he addressed the

,reichstag and landtag delegations yester—

day, and the emperor led the cuirassiers
past the front of the house and back again.
Lunclled lVith Bismarck.

His majesty afterward entered the
Schloss and lunched with Prince Bis-
marck, the cuirassiers mounting guard
outside the building and the artillery re-
maining as a guard of honor on‘ the parade
ground. From that spot the artillery fired
salutes when the signal was given that the
emperor had proposed the health of Prince
Bismarck.

At the luncheon Emperor William pre-
sented Prince Bismarck with a seal from
the writing table of his grandfather, Em-
peror William I.

The railroad station, postoflice and all-

the houses of Friedrichsruh and its neigh-
borhood were decorated with flags in honor
of the emperor’s visit and the occasion of
it. ‘ » ~

Fair’s death his organs were all removed
and examined. They showed plainly that
the cause of deatll'was diabetes. ”
