The Town Court Bill.
As announced in the GAZETTE on Fri-
day last, the Judiciary committee of’the
legislature has {favorably reported the
bill for a town court in Norwalk. The
bill as reported is the same as intro-
duced by Senator Ferris with the ex.
cepticn of a few minor amendments
made by the committee. The submis-
sion clause amendment was rightly re-
jected by the committee as no one had
requested its adoption outside of a cer-
tiin clique who would oppose a town
court for Norwalk at all hazards.
It now remains to be seen whether as
reported, Senator Ferris and Repre-
sentative Rowan will attempt to have
the submission clause attached without
the peoples request, when the bill comes
up for passage in their respective
houses.
It is freely charged and generally be- ‘
lieved, that Democratic influences are
at work upon the Norwalk delegation
to have this submission clause attached
in order, if possible, to defeat the bill.
If these influences are successful, the
people who sent the. present delegation
to Hartford, may do some tall thinking
in the future.
An intelligent, upright and judicious
cmrt would not only have the confi-
dence of the public but it would be a
credit to the town, which heaven knows
is sadly in need of a good, honestjudic-
iary.
There is such a thing as political as-
piration and the independent GAZETTE
predicts that the man who attempts to
defeat the utter annihilation of the rot-
ten, thieving and disgraceful justice sys-
tem now in vogue, will put his political
future behind him.

Hints for Hot W’eather.
Within a few weeks the warm weath-
er will be with us again, and we may
rest assured that the worry, anxiety,
and discontent which ordinari ly pre
vaii during that season will come with
it, but age and experience should have
enabled us by this time to eliminate
from our daily hot weather existence
and to put up with more patiently and
philosophically much that was distaste
ful, exasperating, and well-nigh un-
bearable in the past.
The housekeeper should remember
that the most offensive of all summer
surroundings is the garbage repository,
especially when exposed for any length
of time to the action of the sun. All
forms of refuse and slop exact prompt
service in removal, must have their
receptacles tightly covered, and be easy
of access. '
The man who raises chickens in his
back yard should bear in mind that with
the coming of early light the male bird
is disposed to announce the fact to the
tired and sleeping souls of the neighbor-
hood, who find inspiring rest only
through the aid of raised windows.
The promptest measure for adoption in
these cases is the Chinese, which re;
quires the summary beheading of the
early bird.
There is a disposition on the part of
some citizens to keep clean and cool by
the indiscriminate use of the city water,
and by their zeal they not only depart
from the hours fixed 1"or the sprinkling
of streets and lawns but materially aid
in creating a water famine in our not
too abundant w'utzr supply. It is far
better for all concerned that the hose
be applied sparingly and during the
legal hours so that in caSc of another
drouth this summer we may not be
compelled to call upon South Norwalk
for our water supply.

Corbett Knocked Out.
During a bar room fight in a New
York saloon, yesterday, Young Griffo
kicked Champion Jim Corbett on the
point of the jaw knocking him out. As
he fell Corbett’s head collided with the
edge of an iron cuspidor cutting a gash
back of his right ear. Corbett was
taken home and a physician summoned,
but before he arrived the champion rc-
vived.
Church Sheds Robbed.
Thieves vis1ted the sheds in the rear
of the Baptist church last evening, and
stole a whip and a blanket from a car-
riage belonging to Fanton Beers, a
breast collar, traces and blanket from a
turnout belonging to 'Augutus Par-
trick, besides articles belonging to
other persons. It is by no means the
first time that thieving has been done
from these sheds and if the offenders
are apprehended they ought to be se-
verely dealt with.

In Favor. of Morrell.
In the civil Common Pleas court, in
the suit over the possession Of a horse
and carriage, brought by George W.
Chamberlain of Jersey City against
Sherman G. Morrell and wife of Nor-
walk, Judge Curtis has given a decision
for the defendant to recover 38 and costs
.and for the return of the property re-
plevined. Unless the $8 and costs are
forthcoming from Chamberlain, the at-
torney for Mr. and Mrs. Morrell will
look to Chamberlain’s bondsman, Na—
thaniel Decker, for remuneration.
Spring Opening.
Mrs. Wilmot Fawcett one of the best
known and most popular milliners in
this city, has an advertisement in ancth~
or column announcing her spring opens
ing of millinery which will take place
on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week. For the convenience of those
who are unable to attend during the
day the store will be kept open in the
evening. The leading shapes in hats
are what is known as the Gainsborough
and Napoleon, and a leading fancy in
' bonnets is called the “Dutch.” The
display will no doubt be a source of
great delight to ladies.

Electric Clocks.
The men who are wiring the city for
the introduction of selfwinding electric
clocks have nearly completed their

placed in the several jewelry stores and
at Colonel Roberts’ school will prob-

The “Master clock” is located in the
Western Union telegraph office at the
railroad station. This clock sets the
time of the other clocks every hour,
and is itself set every twenty-four
hours. The time is Washington time,
and bound to be correct.

lnsulted Women.
John Bassen was placed under arrest
Saturday night by Oflicer Bartram, on
the complaint of Mrs. Lewis P. John-
son, who claimed that she had been
grossly insulted by him on Main street.
The man was very much under the in-
fluence of drink at the time, and was
placed in the station house. It soon
after transpired that he had insulted
other women on Wall and Main streets,
and it was reported that a genuine
“Jack the Hugger” had been captured.
This morning, Bunsen was taken be-
fore Justice Rose, and confessed to
having been intoxicated but denied
that he had insulted any women. The
testimony of Mrs. Johnson and others
was very conclusive as to the guilt
of the prisoner.
He said on being questioned that he
had a wife and six children. He also
admitted that his wife had applied for
a divorce on the grounds of habitual
drunkenness and adultery, but he
claimed to be not guilty of the latter
charge. He told the justice if he
would be lenient this time he would
try and abet rin entirely from the use of
intoxicants.
The justice fined him 37 and costs
and sentenced him to thirty days in
jail.
It is learned that this is not the first
time that women have been insulted by
Bassen and it is believed that his pun-
ishment is none too severe.

DEADLY strain.
A Brooklyn em Killed by the Virus
In Fivelllinutes.
POSSIBLY IT WAS POISONED.
Her Physician Believes That Some Terrible
Poison \Vas Put Up by Mistake Under an
Antitoxlnc Label In Germany—It. .
Was Behring‘s Preparation.
BROOKLYN, April 1.-—-A fluid, supposed
to have been antitoxlnc, was injected into
the left arm of Bertha M. Valentino, 17
years old, of 311 Roebling street, to cure a
slight attack of diphtheria. The girl died
in awful agony at the feet of the physician
in five minutes. Dr. J. L. Kortrfght of
262 Rodney street, Brooklyn, who injected
the fluid, said:
“When the antltoxinc was prepared, in
Germany, some powerful . poison must
have become mixed with it by mistake. It
was the Behring preparation. I sent the
girl’s father for the preparation, and when
he handed me the wooden box containing
the phial it was tightly sealed. When
opened the box and reached the phial, which
contained between 2% and 3 drama, it was
tightly corked and sealed. The fluid was
pinkish, of the same color as the otherantl.
toxins I have used.
An Awful Death Her Fate.
“Almost as soon as I had injected the
fluid into Miss Valentine’s arm. she be-
came uneasy. Then she complained of a
tickllsh sensation in her throat and all
over her body. She was then sealed with
convulsions, and never before in my life
have I seen such a horrible death. "
. The physician was certain that in put-
ting up the phlal some deadly poison had
been mistakenly labeled as antltoxlne. In
explanation of this, he said he knew the
Behring company manufactured and sent
all over the world powerful poisons, and
he thought some careless employee had
probably put a wrong label on an anti-
toxine phlal. -
An autopsy was performed by Dr. J. M.
Clayland of Coroner Croamer’s office, who
reported: “The girl’s death" was caused
by the fluid alleged to be antitoxine. From
what I can learn the young woman Was
suffering from a slight form of diphtheria.
The disease would have had to develop
considerably before her life would have
been endangered. I have not yct made any
analysis.”
Coroner Creamer said: “This is a mat-
ter of too much moment for me tosay
what action I will take. The auto'psy'phy-
sician says that death was directly due to
the fluid represented as antltoxlne. The
Behring company manufactures other very
powerful compounds, and there may have
been a very serious mistake.”
Schulze-Berge & Kohl. the American
agnts for the Behring company, have their
o so at 79 Murray street, New York. The
case containing the dose was put up in
Germany Jan. 30. 1805, and was received
in America in February.
They Gave Goff the Lie Direct.
NEW YORK, April 1.—-Recorder Goff
had the unusual experience Saturday of
appearing upon the witness stand befOre a
senate committee which included most of
the members of the famous Lexow com-
mittee, of which he was the counsel. The
committee is the judiciary committee of
the senate to investigate the condition of
affairs in the court of general sessions,
preparatory to reporting upon the bill for
increasing Recorder Golf’s salary and mak-
ing him chief justice of the court. The
proceedings culminated in an exciting
scene, in which Judge Rufus B. Cowlng
and Captain Curry, an attache of the court,
gave the lie direct to the recorder. Sena.
tor O’Connor had to threaten to clear the
room before order was restored.

pronounced the test the most successful
ever held.
England and France May Fight.
LONDON, April 1.-—-The government
has been keenly alive to the possibility of.
a war with France. It is known in well
informed circles that the government’s
sudden change of front in advocating and
pressing forward a. great increase in the
navy was due to the representations from
Lord Dufi'erin of the strong war feeling in
' Franco and the extensive preparations for
a conflict.

‘. NEWARK N. 1.. April 1.—Lefi Wilson
can of 84 mn street admits that ho is
0 "Doc” Wilson whom the late Philip
1;. Moon, the millionaire barb wire manu~
factors: of Worcester, Mass. accused of
blackmalllng him out of nearly $500, 000.
Furthermore, he intimates that a. suit will
soon be brought which, in sensationallsm,
will make the other cases sink into insig-
niflcanoe.
The "Doc” Wilson of newspaper notori-
ety in 18856 was a gay, roysterlng fel-
low, occupying a menial position. who
spent money freely. He built princely eta.
bles, magnificent hotels, gave diamond
necklaces to abtresses, drank, gambled,
smoked and in fact ran the whole gamut
of a fast and dissipated life.
His extravagance Was shown by the as-
sertion that he had spent $450, 000 for his
ersonal leasure in less than eight years.
n fact, llscn was held up to view as a
sort of Monte Cristo, whose source of
wealth was unknown and fabulous.
The trial of his suit against Phlli L.
Mean for $150, 000 on an alleged breac of
contract developed the fact that it was
from Moan that he obtained his money.
The reason why he obtained it, however,
. was never made clear. Moon claimed that
A"
Wilson had detected shine one in some
crime—the details were never made public
-—and that he paid the money rather than
have the affair made public.
This much is kDOWn at the present time:
"'DOO” Wilson, or L. W. Mcen, which he
says is his pro or name, will claim that
the late Philip Moon was his father. He
will assert that he acted like an honorable
man in receiving the money from him;
that much of it Was spent contrary to his
advice, and that if he had been given free
away with the finances different results
would have ensued. In fact, the Newark
man will try to prove, it is believed, that
the chief sinner in the days gone by was
Philip L. Moen, not himself.
Mr. Moen intends to go back to Worces-
ter to live.
A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
Sheriff Bayard Bagged n'Robber, but An-
other Robber Bngged Him.
SAORAMENTO April 1.——The robbers
who held up the Oregon express near
Wheatland were bicyclists from the east.
When they entered the cars, they carried a
bag made from the leg of an old pair of
overalls, tied at one end, and made the pas-
sengers put their coin and valuables in it,
the firemen being the custodian and shield,
behind which the robbers stood. The col-
cred porter in the sleeper, knowing that
Sheriff James J. Bogard of Tehama coun-
ty was in a berth, called him. Bogard was
in his shoes and'tro‘user‘s in a minute, and
armed with his heavy revolver crossed the
platform between the sleeper and the day
coach, and as he entered the latter at the
south door the robbers came in at the
north. The sheriff stepped to one side,
aimed and fired. His bulldog dropped the
man nearest him, but the second failed to
reach its target. One of the robbers got
behind him and shot him dead.
The robber Sheriff Bogard killed was a
man 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds.
He was attired in a complete bicycle suit,
over which he wore a pair of overalls. The
fireman, A. Nethorcbtt; was seriously
wounded, having been shot twice. The
two who escaped carried away very little
booty. "
Sued by the New York Press'CIub.
NEW YORK, April 1.-—-The New York
Press club has sued Samuel Loyd for an
accounting. The action is the outcome of
a souvenir scheme of the club to raise
money for its building fund, to which the
editors throughout the country donated
upward of $40, 000 in advertising space.
Loyd is the inventor of the “Fifteen Puz-
zle,” “Pigs In Glover” and other devices.
Charles M. Beattfc, who brings the action
for the club, says that the amount which
Loyd received can only be conjectured, but
he has evidence that a very large amount
was received in money donations, none of
which has been turned into 1310 club.

DEATH OI‘ JUDGE MARTINE.
He Made Bis Reputation by Convicting
Boodler Jacob Sharp.
NEW YORK. A pril 1.-—-The death of
Judge Randolph B. Martino of the court
of general sessions was sudden and unex-
pected. > An acute attack of Bright’s dis-
ease was the immediate cause of death. A
month ago Judge Martino had an attack
of grip. complicated with diabetes. He had
been confined to his bed most of the time
since he was attacked. He was improving,
however, and his family and physician had
made all arrangements for his removal 150
Lakewood. N. J ., when it developed that
he had Bright’s disease. His death soon
followed.
Randolph B. Martino was born in this
city 52 years ago. He studied law and be-
gan the practice of his profession when a
young man. He always took an active in-
terest in politics and was a member of
Tammany hall before he was a candidate
for any office. In 1882 Martino left Tam-
many hall with Henry D. Purroy and join-
ed the County Democracy with Andrew J.
White. In 1884 the County Democracy or-‘
ganizatlon nominated Martino for district
attorney, and he wasclected. His reputa-
tion in the district attorney’s office was
made during the trial of the famous Broad-
way railroad boodle cases. , The principal
one of these trials was that of Jacob Sharp,
which was conducted by Martino. '
In 1887 Martino was nominated by the
County Democracy for Judge of the court
of general sessions, and his nomination
was indorsed by Tammany hall. He was
elected by 149,000 majority over his Re-
publican opponent. His majority is said
to have been the largest ever received by
any candidate in this city who ran against
organized opposition. «
A NEW TELEPHONE commuta-
Well Known Men Backing a. Rival of the
Ben Monopoly. '
NEW YORK, April 1—The prospectus
of a new telephone company, amply backed
by New York and Brooklyn capital, has
been issued. The new company is the Mu-
tual Automatic Telephone company, and
it controls the automatic switchboard pat-
ents, which are expected to do away with
the necessity of central office operators and
revolutionize the telephone business. _ It
proposes to operate largely in this city‘h‘nd"
Brooklyn, and if its plans are successful it
will probably settle at once by the effective
method of competition the question Of ex-
orbitant telephone charges. '
The system, which enables each sub-
scriber to make his own connections by
means of an electrical switchboard, attach-
ed to each instrument, is in successful op-
eration at La Porte, 'Ind., and though
franchises have not been secured here
a number of can'vassers are out receiving
subscribers to the new system. J. Wesley
Allison is president of the Mutual Auto-
matic Telephone company, and among its
directors are Silas B. Butcher, Smith M.
Weed, W. Seward Webb. David A. Boody,
Henry N. Whitney, John Jacob Astor,
John C. McGuire and Charles F. Cox.
