The Klein case seems to have been specially devised to expose the inside workings of the disgraceful justice sys- tem under which Norwalk has been bled these many years. To what extent the town treasury has been robbed will never be known, as the treasurer is re- quired to pay justice orders when pre- sented and has 110 way of knowing whether they are genuine or ficticious. The latest developments in the Klein case would indicate that Justice Keeler when he hurried to the town treasurer’s office on Friday morning last to collect his paltry fee, not only failed to comply with the law but obtained money from the town treasury for costs in the case that the treasurer had no right to pay. Section 3643 of the Connecticut Stat- utes reads as follows: “The authority committing any girl to said school (referring to the Indus- trial school) shall transmit a certified copy of the items of the costs on the complaint to the clerk of the Superior Court for the County in which the trial was had, within thirty days after the trial, and said costs shall be taxed and paid as costs are taxed and paid in criminal causes coming to the Superior Court from an inferior Court.” From the foregoing section it appears that the town does not pay the costs in committing girls to the Industrial. school, but instead thereof, they are paid by the state. This being the care the payment of money to Justice :Keel~ er, Joseph A. Gray, Constable Hunt and Grand Juror Hoyt was illegal, and treasurer Curtis should at once notify these parties to return to him the sev- eral sums paid, or take steps to collect tie s 1me. This is but another illustration of the needs of a town court in Norwalk, and should convince our delegates at Hartford that the judiciary committee is fully aware of the crookedness sur- rounding a justice of the peace system. Treasurer Curtis is responsible to his bondsmen for his official act 1, and it is site. to say that when the order in the Klein case was presented for payment by Justice Keeler, Mr. Curtis was not aware of the law governing costs of commitments to the Industrial school. Now that the law has been published and attention called to the illegal pay- ment, it is hoped that treasurer Curtis w.ll take immediate steps to have this money returned at once to the town treasury. ' -—¢~¢— As Others See It. “The people of New York city are to be congratulated on the passaw of tie ngw law which requires that police 0 lurt magistrates shall be professional lawyers,” said Mr. R. C. Hines, an at— t lrney, in Washington, the other day. “Men notoriously unfit for these re- sponsible pos1tions have been elevated t; them as a reward for partsan service, and have drawn compensation entirely out of proportion to the services rend- ered. To be a police judge in a city, a man should not only have a fair amount of legal knowledge, but should bear a character for integrity beyond re— proach. co The New Canaan Post Office. Lucius M. Monroe took possession of the New Canaan post-Office, April 1st. The worthy r1 tiring postmaster, Mr. S ‘1' St John’s commission expired on the "6th of February last, but as it was more convenient for both the retiring and the new official to c-ose and open their accounts current on a quarter day, Mr. Monroe very courteously p61- mitted his predecessor to cont1nue in the office from the date of his commis- s on until Monday. Mr. Monroe made a very acceptable postmaster on a for- mer occasion and if a democrat must have the office, we presume the Canaan- ites almost to a man, would prefer him to any other man of his party for the position. He is an old and enterprisinu business man of the town and his aim will be to serve the public faithfully and acceptably. A-A v'v For the latest and best local news buy ills Gaza 1m Murder ln Stamford. Yesterday afternoon John O’ Mara shot his brother’s widow, ”Mrs. Thomas O’ Mara, four times. He then jumped upon a passingtruck to make his escape but was captured by the police and locked up. The shooting is the direct result of a quarrel over $0, 200 obtalned from insurance policies on the life 'of Thomas O’Mara. He died last May, .and not long after death stories were afloat that he had been poisoned. It was then stated that Mrs. 0’ Mara had fed her husband ground glass and had given him certain poisonous concoct— ions Finally Coroner Doten exhumed the body and after a post mortem and a chemical analysis of certain parts of the stomach a. certificate was filed confirm- ing the physician’ s certificate given at the time 0’ Mara died, which gave apo- plexy as the cause of death. Ever since the coroner ’s finding was reported Mrs. Thomas O’Mara has been bothered by her husband’s family, who claimed a share of the insurance mon- ey, and it is thought that yesterday’ s tragedy was actuated by a desire to punish her for refusing to listen to the O’Mara’ s demands. ' o Spring Elections. The Hartford city election, yesteru day, resulted in a Republican sweep. A light vote was polled. In Stamford the election passed off very quietly. The Republicans made a clean sweep, with majorities from 200 to 250. The Democrats saved three councilmen. Edwin L. Scofield, the Republican nominee for mayor, re- ceived a majority of 230. At Bridgeport Frank E. Clark, Dem- ocrat, defeated Emory Strong for may- or by a majority of 751. F. C. Mullins Democratic nominee for city clerk re- ceived a majority of 1, 054. F. J. Mooney was re-elected tax collector by 594 majority. Gurdeon B. Lee, Demo- crat, defeated A. R. Lacey for town clerk by 608 majority F. W. Hall’s majority over his Republican competi— tor for city treasurer 840. The Demo- crats have a. majority on the board of selectmen. The two A. P. A. candi- dates for the board of education were electedhs were Frank Miller and P. W. Wren. ._____..a. City Council. A regular meeting of the City Coun— cil was held Monday evening, President Osborn presiding and the full board with the exception of Councilman Pinneo being present. That the busi- ness was-rapidly disposed of can be gleaned from the fact that the session. lasted scarcely an hour. The report of the chief of police, an- nouncing fourteen arrests for the month of March, with the causes thereof and details of same was read and ordered on file. Bills to the amount of $1,135.45 were ordered paid. A petition from William McMullen for permission ’0) erect a. frame dwell- ing on Belden avenue was granted. An invitation to attend the fair of Dwyer’s City of Norwalk band was re- ceived and accepted. A petition of the Norwalk Tramway company to put in a “diamond” turn- out at the head of Belden avenue was referred to the chairman of the high- way committee with power. \Councilman:Chinery was instructed to have a new fire alarm bell placed in the house of Engineer Aiken. COuucilman Smith reported progress on the matter of the city accepting the new highway to be known as Spring- wood avenue, as well as the matter of placing band stands in the parks of the the city. The council then adjourned for two weeks. . -——-———<¢>—-————- Charges Against a Minister. For several weeks post testimony of a serious nature has been accumulating in the hands of Assistant City Attorney Mathewman, of New Haven, against Rev. Rufus T. Cooper of the Epworth M. E. church. Several citizens have asserted, says the Palladium, that be manifested indi- cations of an unnatural passion and has, by approaches, made himself liable to arrest. The matter has been in the hands of a detective for some time, and traps were laid for Mr. Cooper, into which he failed to fall. Yesterday afternoon he was brought before Mr. Mathcwman and confronted with the affidavits of the various citi- zens. He denied the charges and was given till 7 o’clock last night to frame an answer to them. He agreed not to submit the case to an attorney, and last evening he again appeared before Mr. Mathewman. Presiding Elder J. C. North was pres- ent, and Mr. Conper was confronted by the witnesses in person. They reiterat- ed the charges, forcibly rehearsing each incident and circumstance, and Mr. Cooper as stoutiy denied any overt act or impure thought, although admit- ting that. he had at times used language which might have been regarded as compiomising. Attorney Mathew'maLlJecided not to issue a warrant at present, but to con- tinue the investigation to-day. Mr. Cooper exoresses himself eager to have the matter sifted to the bottom. Rev. Mr. Cooper is well known in N or walk, he having married Miss Plat-t, of Maple street, a few years since.

Within a Few Feet of a Horrible Death. Mary, wife of Russell K. Benedict; suffered an experience Monday after- noon, that she will probably remember as long as she lives, as it will indeed long dwell in the recollection of those who witnessed it. Mrs. Benedict had been calling on friends on Chestnut street, and as a short cut to reach Wall street, walked or rather started to walk across the railroad bridge near Mechan- ic street. When about half way over the bridge she saw a train approaching, and be coming frightened, slipped and fell on the ties. The train, which is known as the Pittsfield express, does not stop at this station, and was under a high rate of speed. As the locomotive left the platform at the station the alert engin- eer Vaughn, sighted the bridge and, at the same time the perilous condition of the woman He immediately reversed the lever and put the steam brakes “hard down” and succeeded in stop- ping the locomotive within a few feet of where the woman laid helpless on the bridge ties. The sudden stoppage of the train threw several of the occupants of the cars from their seats. Others rushed to the doors and yet-others bobbed their heads from the car windows, all anticipating a terrible accident. ' Soon after the train stipped, COD.- ductor Com-stick'ivitli ”l" assistance of the fireman rescued Mrs. Benedict from her dangerous situation, and both were greatly surprised to find that she after being assisted from the bridge was able to walk. Mrs. Benedict after it was found that she had not suffered apparent danger-_ ous injury Was placed in charge of Ed- ward Sheehan, who happened to be near, after which the train proceeded on its way.‘ In company with Mr. Sheehan, Mrs. Benedict walked as far as Hale’s drug» store where her injuries were prescribed; for temporarily and she was able to board a trolley car for her home. ' The woman suffered an ugly cut on her face and was considerably bruised, on her hips and body. That she was not killed is due to the promptness with which the engineer stopped his locomo- tive and train. People who were near by and saw Mrs. Benedict fall and at the same time heard the train approaching, closed their .eycs, in' expectancy that the woman would surely be ground to pieces by the locomotive. Others in build- ings near by were stratled by the jar caused by the sudden stoppage of the locomotive. The engineer was complimented On all sides for the promptness with which he brought his engine to a stop. .0...___.———- Tenth Wedding Anniversary. Mayhap there have been more enjoy? able celebrations of a tin wedding an- niversary than that held at the home of Mr.;and Mrs.Wm. Osterbanks on Union Park, Monday evening, but of the seventy-five ‘or more guests present, there is not one that can be convinced to that effect. The rooms were taste- fully decorated with potted plants, exo- tics and flowers redolent with the sweetest of perfume, and the scene was one long to be remembered. Every— body was happy. During the evening selections were played on the piano and violin by Profs. H. S. Richmond and C. M. Lee. An elegant supper was served and heartily enjoyed by the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Osterbanks were the grateful reclpients of many useful presents and a deluge of congratula- tions. Among the entire party none seemed happier than the host and host- ess, a happiness that added ‘zest and en- joyment' to the occasion. O Amusements. HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE. A full house is promised for Mr. Un- derhill’s second entertainment this evening. Many who have seen “The Rivals” as performed by the Jefferson company have remarked, after witness- ing Mr. Underhill’s condensation of the comedy, that the advantage he has over the company lies 1n the fact that here there is a star in every part; they can afford only a few for the leading parts. But so carefully has Mr. Under- hill worked out all the details that one seems to see the very actions suggested by ac knee and the living characters are there doing their own talking in- stead Of having any one read about them or telling what they said. —————~————<- Newtown School War. 3 The little'school in the Gray’s Plain district at Newt )wn opened to-day.
