Stili Unsatisfied.
The News again returns to the chart
and adds still another amendment to its
long list of statements, and in order to
keep up with its wabbling we find it
necessary to take it by piecemeal.
The News says, “the chief point of
contention is that the tickets were sold
and seats checked off before the chart
was thrown open to the public.” This
is incorrect as the News well knows.
The chief point of contention is that
the GAZETTE made the statement that
kicking was being done over seats hav-
ing been checked off before the open-
ing of the chart, to which the News
ungcntlemanly
made the following
reply:
“ The article which the ‘GAzzaTTE’
had in its last evening’s issue in regard
to the seats being checked off for the
Johnson ('c Yoerger entertainment be-
fore the time announced is false and the
management is ready to back its state-
ment.”
At the time the GAZETTE published
the statement that parties were “kick-
ing,” it had no knowledge of the truth
of the rumored checking of seats, and
the matter would have received no fur-
ilier attention had not the News pub-
lished the above ungcntlemanly article.
The GAZETTE knew of the "kicking,”
and the young man who called at the
News office and stated that he “was not
disappointed at all to find some seats
engaged when he got there and he cared
nothing about it,” was one of the loud-
est to kick, having called at the GA-
ZETTE office only a short time prior to
going to the News, and stating that “it
Was a d—n skin.”
From the GAZETTE’S first article the
question has resolved itself into the
correctness of the reported checking
of seats, and we are satisfied from the
Vacillaiing statements made by the
News that it has been badly advised
and considerably mixed, not to men-
tion its failure to prove its case 01' re-
but the statement of the GAZETTE.
On Thursday the News came out
with the statement the. “the chart was
sent up at 10:30 Sunday night and
thrown over the transom at Potter’s
place so that it might be opened early
in the morning.” Finding themselves
again in error the News on Friday and
Saturday change the time of the chart’s
arrival to Saturday, but forgot to cor-
rect the statement about its being
the transom. This it
should do, as Potter’s is Open until mid-
night on Saturday’s and the simple cor-
rection of the day of the week does not
agree with the transom story.
“The GAZETTE has receded from the
position it prevrously assumed, that the
thrown over
chart should not have been opened till
9 o’clock,” for the reason that the News
says it made the announcement several
days ago that the management would
open the chart at 7 o’clock, and the
GAZETTE not desiring to insist that it is
right when in error, as the News is now
doing, gracefully recedes from that
position.
But this 7 o’clock business is just
The News on
“Manager John-
son iuformui the reporters last week
that the chart would be opened at 7
o’clock and an item appeared in last
Saturday’s Daily News to that efi'ecf.”
Now that We ich the News down to
this statement, zand if we can keep it
from wubbling again, we will take
pleasure in informing our vacillating
friend that seats were checked 011' be—
what we desire to get at.
Thursday also says :
fore that hour, and Mr. Potter won’t
deny it. " .
Injustice to Mr. Potter, however, we
will say that he had not been notified
of the opening hour having bgeii set for
7 o’clock, and he had a perfect right to
check seats oil. any time after midnight
Sunday night.
As to the jealous fling about printing
the posters with which the News closes
“its Saturday’s effusion, we might. l‘éplyf
in kind and publish the statement made
to us by one of the” management re-
lative to the attempt at printing made
by the News for this entertainment,
but as the matter is too childish we
refrain, and while extending to the
News the assurance of our most dis-
tinguished consideration, we add the
statement that if Messrs. Yoergcr and
Johnson give another exhibition next
year they know that they can get the
bestjcb printing in Norwalk ,at the
GAZETTE office, and that we will be
here to do it for them.
May the News also be on earth when
next year rolls around.
Disgraceful Fight.
A number of well-known Winnipauk
toughs became intoxicated Saturday
night, and engaged in a drunken row
in the vicinity of McGrath’s saloon at
that place. The fight it is said com-
menced at 12 o’clock and lasted until
nearly two o'clock. .In the “battle
royal” for such it seems to have been,
William London is said to have been
severely punished. No complaints
have been made to the officers and the
affair will probably be relegated to the
same dungeon of darkness as have
similar meetings at that place, In the
past. The law-abiding citizens of Winni-
pauk should cause a few arrests, which
rmight meet with wholesome results.

Winsted, accompanied by Pastor A. H.
Wyatt, of the Methodist church, this

mira Sheldon of West Winsted. The
marital knot was gracefully tied by
Pastor Wyatt at the parsonage a short
time after the license had been secured.
The couple were attendants at the
Methodist church in West Winsted
under Mr. Wyatt’s pastorate. It is a
showery day but. the rain never fell on
an apparently more happy couple than
Mr. and Mrs. Auckland seemed to be.

this eveninggand lasts eight days, is
kept in commemoration of the depart—
ure of the Hebrews from Egypt in the
year 2-448, by the Hebrew calendar.
The less orthodox of the Jews observe
the firsit and seventh days of the Pass-
Over, the more orthodox, the first and
second and the seventh and eighth
days of the Passover. There are com-
paratively few of the latter in this city.
Passion Week.
As this is Passion Week, the social
world will be (louder than the tradition-
al door nail. There is little or nothing
on the tapis. There will be nothing to
do but to go to church, the miliiners
and the dressmakers. The time will be
taken up in making ready for and
thinking ‘01 the many good things
which are to come after Easter, and in
preparing the new Easter bonnet and
gown.

trains passed on the west-bound tracks.
No one was hurt.

NEW mm PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
-1‘omorrow Completes Its First Century of
.. TheirMagniflcent Achievements.
ALBANY, April 8.—-0no hundred years
ago £20,000, something like $97,000, was
appropriated by the state of New York for
the “encouragement“ of schools.” The
growth and increasing demands of educa-
tional institutions of the state in the cen-
tury now ending are shown in the fact
that this year’s expenditure for education-
al purposes will be upward of $20,000, 000.
In 1795 the state contained 21 counties.
and it is interesting to note the apportion-
ment of this £20,000. New York received
£1,068, while Kings, Richmond and On-
ondaga each got £174. Dutchess received
£2,200; Albany, £1,592; chssclaer, West-
chester and Montgomery, each £1, 192; Suf-
folk, £840, and Ontario, £300.
Appropos of this, Governor Morton has
given out for publication the following:
”A century of magnificent achievement
in public education in this state will be
completed on Tuesday next, April 9, the
anniversary of the signing by Governor
George Clinton of chapter 75 of the laws
of 1795, entitled ‘An act for the encour-
agement of schools, ’ passed by the legisla-
ture of that year upon the governor’s rec-
ommcndation.
“If we of today emulate that devotion
to the instruction of youth which charac—
terized the founders of the system and
make this anniversary conspicuous in our
annals. those who follow in the century to
come will write our names, as, we .now
write those of 1795, With grateful remem-
brance in the history of education in the
state of New York. It will increase the re-
gard in which those who laid the founda-
tions of our educational system are held,
if, on Tuesday next, we commemorate in
some fitting manner their services and re-
count thc blessings reaped from their la-
hers.
“I therefore recommend to all princi-
pals, teachers and others in authority in
the schools, academics and colleges
throughout the state. that they devote
some portion at least of that day to ap-
propriate exercises by the pupils, their ofii-
cers and friends in recognition of this im-
portant anniversary.”
GUBAN REBELS ACTIVE.
Two Attempts Made to Blow Up the St.
John Powder Magazine.
KEY WEST, April 8.—chorts from Ha-
vana. indicate that an uneasy feeling pre-
vails in official circles of that city, owing
to occurrences nearby. Last night an at-
tempt was made by rebel sympathizers to
blow up the St. John powder magazine,
part of the Fortress Cabana, almostin the
shadow of Castillo del Morro, and within
sight of the governor’s palace across the
harbor. Shortly after 9 o’clock the outpost
pickets about tho powder magazine saw a.
party of about 15 approaching cautiously.
The pickets shouted the “Alto quien
vivc i” This was misvv‘ered by a volley of
shot. Soldiers frdm the fortress pursued
the party, which fled prccipltutoly. Another
effort was made early this morning, and re-
sulted much the same as the attack last
night.
Over 500 troops have in the last two
days been sent to repress the expected up-
risings in the provinces. In one night this
week 13 persons were arrested and con—
fined at Castillo del Morro, though no.
cause has as yet been assigned for their ar-
rest.
It is believed that Maximo Gomez has
not yet landed in Cuba. but that he is
probably at Kingston, which place is being
watched by Spanish cruisers. The author-
ities fear Macco and Gomez more than any
of the other rcbcl loaders. Neither the
government authorities nor English ofii-
cials will say anything regarding the firing
"upon the steamer Ethelred.
SALLIE DEAN’S MURDER.
Price Makes a Confession W'liicli Cochran
Declares to Be False.
BALTIMORE, April 8.———Marshall E. Price,
arrested in Harmony, Caroline county, for
the murder of Sallie Dean, the 14-year-old
schoolgirl, has made a confession.
He stat-cs that ho was an accessory to the
crime; that Grant Cochran, a schoolteach-
er, who has been arrested and brought to
Baltimore, was the principal in the com—
mission of the murder. Cochran, Price
says, struck the girl on the head with a
htonc and stunned her. She recognized
Cochran. Then the two men dragged her
into the woods, and the teacher borrowed
a razor from Price and cut her throat.
The girl was not ravished, according to
Price.
Cochran faced the accused last night,
and in the presence of detectives, stoutly
declared his innocence.

THE PRESIDENT ACCUSED. " 7
--Rev. Dr. Lansing of Boston Charges Mr.
Cleveland With Drunkenness.
SALEM, Mass. April 8."«-Durlng the ses-
sion of the New England Methodist con—
ference Saturday a sensation was caused
by a resolution by the Rev. Frederick
Wood of East Boston. that the conference
by vote decline to hold itself responsblc for
the statements of the ,Rev. Dr. Lansing of
Boston who at Tuesday’s session charged
President Cleveland with drunkenness.
The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, In the admirable, earnest and
able address of the Rev. Dr. Lansing on Thurs-
day evening there occurred serious imputa-
tions upon the moral character of the presi-
dent of the United States, this conference,
while recognizing that there is doubtless need
of public criticism of some who occupy high
places in the land, and while profoundly i?-
pressed with the ability and sincerity of t e
orator who so eloquently served us on our
temperance anniversary, we feel constrained
to disclaim responsibility for the utterances
concerning which the honored brother is able
to speak for himself, however his statements
may be construed.
The resolution. after a half hour’s dis-
cussion, was withdrawn. During the de-
bate there was considerable excitement,‘
and it was dlfi‘icult at times for the bishop
to maintain order.
Reiterates His Charges.
BOSTON, April 8.—-Rcv. Dr. Lansing to-
day reiterated his charge against Presi-
dent Cleveland. He said, “I did say that
the president, on the occasion of the great
naval review last year, kept the entire pro-
cession waiting for two hours or more be-
cause he was too intoxicated torevfew 1t. "
Dr. Lansing also made other charges of in-
toxlcation against the president. He says
his information comes from one of the
most prominent public men in this coun-
try, whose name he refuses to give.

Lro'Ns, N. Y, Apr118.—George Detsel of

juires from which he died yesterday
This train runs between Albany and

killed by it, several employees crippled for
life and the train itself wrecked a great
many times, it has been dubbcd the “hoo-
doo train.” Detsel said Friday morning.
upon leaving Syracuse, that he would be
