Poor "Jim. ”
“Against all these speakers there was
but one man, Representative Rowan.
* * * * He was no politician, and de-
tested the whole damnable business of
politics.”—Sentinel.
True, there‘luas but “one‘man” in all
the House, who agreed with Mr. Rowan
and poor "Jim.”

it Works Well Elsewhere.
In every place in Connecticut where
the modern Town Court has been es-
tablished, its improvement upon the
old j- stice system is conceded by its
citizens.
better system except a few who were
able to pick up picayune fees or get a
personal benefit by the miserable petty
larcenies too often attendant upon the
old system. Any new method of trial
must be a change for the better and if
the Town Court shall prove one half as
discreditable as our present justice sys-
tem the GAZETTE will battle as earnest-
ly for its repeal as it now doestor its
adoption. ‘

The Medlcine ”Took.”
Judging from'thetone Of the edito-
rial columns ef‘ybsterday’s Sentinel,the
clique’s defeatimedicine given in an
allopathic dose. by the House on Tues-
day. had a bad effect upon its editor.
Hi'susually Sheet‘and gentle disposition
was badly rumpled, and he struck out
right and left like a bull in 9. china. shop.
Then, too, his jerky sentences had the
appearance of having been penned
while suffering great mental as well as
bodily agony, as though the dose had
s: ruck his brain and most solid part Of
his anatomy at the same time.
His statements were reckless and
some of them untrue, especially that
where he says that Mr. George B. By;
ington, of the GAZETTE, in his letter to
a representative, which was read in the
House on Tuesday, said the justices
were “a lot of thieves If the editor
had stated that the letter said “N orwalk
had been robbed right and left by its
thieving justice system,” he Would have
been correct, but we suppose the “bitter
medicine” got in an extra pain and in
his byste1ics he slopped over.
In his reference to al “orwalk grand
juror having signed complaints' 1n blank
to pay a debt he owed the justice, the
medicine worked again and he says,
“if any Norwalk man knew of such a
king he has been recreant to his duty
in not making it known where it could
be investigated. He is a coward to
make it as he did, and we believe he is
a liar. ” - '
As the newspapers published the fact
at the time of its occurrence, the Senti-
nel’s-editor should have consulted their
fil es before allowing his temper to get
the better of him.
“It is bitter mes. icine, but yea have
got to take it,” said Representative
Rowan,and from appearances it ”took”
and “took” badly on “Jim.”
House Cleaning Horrors.
The big black twin horror of the
year, house cleaning, looms upon the
domestic horizon. The smell of soap
and water will soon pervade the air,
the sound of hammered tacks. will re-
verberate throughout the land, and the
rule of a place for everything and
everything in its place will be usurped
by a new dictum—no place for anything
and nothing in its place. Still, house-
cleaning isby no means so terrible as
it used to be. This enterprising end of
the century has mitigated and modified
that evil, rs it has many others.
Housecleaning has now become a pro-
fession. which means that you can in
veiglc some one else into doing it for
you. The householder may flit each
spring and fill to Patagonia or Inde-
pendent Turtary if he so chooses, secure
in the knowledge that the scrubbing
and painting and papering and “fixing”
will go on just as comfortably without
him as with him, while his own com-
fort will be immeasurably greater. As
is quite natural,"the new profession is
in the hands of men;
NO one Opposes the new and

The time seems to have arrived when
the California system of employing men
as cooks and general house work ser-
vents, must be adopted here in the east.
Conscience Stricken.
“The desertion of a cause at a critical
moment always has and always will
4 excite a suspicion of an influence more
potent than principlc.”—Sentinel.

thinking of his own political gyrations

Oyster Police Blll.
Just before the House adjourned yes-
terday afternoon, the oyster police bill
was called up by Representative Jud-
son Of Stratford. 'The bill was passed,
as amended in, the senate last week.
It increases the tax on oyster grounds
from one per‘ cent. to one and a-half
per cent. The income is thus increased
from about $14, 000 to something like
$21, 000. The amount to be appropri-
ated for police is one- -third of the tax——
the same as in the original bill, but the
tax income being greater, there will be
more for the police, or about 37,000.
Searles~Dixon.
Edward Scarles and Miss Sarah
Dixon, daughter of Mrs. John Camp-
bell, visited the residenoe of Rev.
and
were made mar. and wife. After the
ceremony the couple returned to rooms
' in the Matheis building, on High street,
which had been furnished for their oc-
cupancy, when a reception was held
and a grand wedding feast was enjoyed
by a large number of friends of the
couple. Mr. Searles is a conductor on
the Norwalk Street railway and Con-
ductor Bernard Tully in behalf of the
employees of the road presented him
with an elegant plush trimmed rocker,
prefacing the presentation with a happy
and felicitous speech. It was a happy
occasion and greatly enjoyed by all.

Shortly after 8 o’clock the guests to
the number of nearly one hundred
had assembled, and after a season of
inspection of the place adjourned to
the banquet hall in the Price building
on Water street, where an elegant diu-

The speech of welcome, a happy one,
was .made by Captain Costello, and
President Osborn closed with a'compli.
mentary speech interspersed with
flashes ofjwit.
During the speech making Captain
Costello, who was rece1ving more
praise than he could bear up under,
called attention to the fact, and said he
was not deserving of one-half Of it, and
asked that the praise be placed where
it belonged, to. the credit of those who
had beenuntiring in their efforts in
conjunction with the officers, to place
the company, as to discipline and effi-
ciency, in the front rank of similar
organizations in the state. His re-
marks were warmly applauded.
After the banquet, which had lasted
for some hours, an adjournment 'was
taken back to the parlors, whom the
festivities were kept up until an early
hour this morning.
The anniversary will be long and
happily remembered by all who (Were
fortunate enough to be present. And
beside all that it tended to show that
the company is in a prosperous condi—
tion, and a credit to the city of Nor-

DIED ill GRElll llGONY
Nl.PS JohnC. Morgan of New Ca
naan, Meets a Horrible Death.
Her Clothing Catches Fire Froma
Student Larrfp..
The quiet little town of New Canaan
was the scene of a distressing accident
last night, whereby a widow lady was
so badly burned that she died at an
early hour this morning.
Shortly after nine o’clock Mrs. John
0. Morgan, a widow aged 71, living on
East avenue, sat down to read by the
light Of a student’s lamp sitting on the
table. As the lamp did not give suffi-
cient light Mrs.’ Morgan started to turn
on more oil, when suddenly her cloth-
ing became a mass of flames. She ran
screaming to the bedroom of her son-
in-law. Charles Fancher, but before
the latter had time to extinguish the
flames, Mrs. Morgan, who was wild with
fright, ran from the room and made a
circuit of the lower part of the 11011813.
Mr. Fancher finally succeeded in over-
taking her and, soon extinguished the
flames, but not before she was horribly
burned.
Medical aid was summoned and
everything possible done for the suf-
ferer, but she had inhaled the flames
and there was no hope, and at 5 o ’clpck
this morning she‘ passed away in great
agony.
It is not known how Mrs. fwdorgan s
clothes caught fire, nor was she able to
tell before she died, and it will proba-
bly remain a mystery. Mr. Fancher’ 8
hands were badly burned in his efforts
to extinguish the flames.

Jim Ellis Arrested.
Complaint was made about 12 o’clock,
last night,.that there was a man acting
in a drunken and boisterous manner on
West avenue. Ofiicer Bartram placed
him under arrest and found the man to
be the notorious “Jim” Ellis. He laid
down on the sidewalk and refused to
move and it required the assistance of
two other officers to landhim in the
station.house. This morning he "was
taken before Justice Rose and was fined
$7 and costs and sentenced to thirty
days in jail. His poor old mother
pleaded hard for leniency towards her
son, as she has done many times before.
Ellis is an old Ofi‘ender, and while com-
parently docile when sober is like a
maniac when under the influence of
liquor.

'- ’At’ 2: 50 _o clock this arternoOn, the
roof of at house one Mechanic street
owned by D. Warren Fitch, and; :occu-
pied by John JohnsOn, was discovered
to be on fire.
Before the arrival of the fire depart-
ment, in respOnse to an alarm from Box

the hands of a young man who had
managed to crawl thrOugh a trap door,
somewhat subdued the flames and later
they were entirely extinguished by the
firemen.
The cause of the. fire was undoubtedly
a spark from a locomotive, as a freight
train passed thehcuse a few moments
before the fire was discovered.

Before He Can Be Taken.
NEW YORK, April 18. —Ollver Curtis
Perry, notorious express train robber, jail
breaker and the last captured convict of
the quintet that escaped from the state
criminal insane asylum at Matteawan one
week ago today, was in a cheerful mood
when he awoke in the Hudson county jail,
in Jersey City.
He was not the broken down tramp of
yesterday, when in the narrow, dirty cell
in the Weehawken prison he told, for the
first time, the story of his escape from
Matteawan.
Perry occupied cell 2 in Ward 3 last
night and had for his companion Paul
Genz, who murdered Clara Arnheim in
Hoboken several months ago. The mur-
derer at .‘once evidenced a strong attach~
ment for. the train robber and studiously
-minister‘ed to his wants.
When Perry awoke. he was assisted to ~
the corridor, and Murderer Genz dressed
the convict’s feet with the skill of a sur-
geon. Perry in the meantime smoked a.
cigar.
A reporter communicated with Perry.
“I shall not go back to Matteawan and'
its horrors until I am compelled to,” he .
declaredhotly. ."When I go there, it will
be through extradition and by no other
process. I’m being treated humanely now,
and I like it. ”
Perry’s Hidden Treasure.
Perry was asked concerning his treas-
urc,s said to be secreted in the vicinity of
Little Falls. He admitted that he had a
sum of-Amoriey hidden away, but he refused .
to tell where or how much it amounted to. :
said Perry. .
"An express cpmpany has stated that all
“I will say this much.’
that was taken by me was $5,000. Now,
it amounted to a great deal more, but how
much I won’t say.”
Perry gave the impression that the treas-
ure was buried farther west than Little
Falls.
Warden Mitchell said that Dr. Lamb,
one of the ofi‘jcials of Mntteawan who
identified Perry at the jail last night, left
orders for Keeper James Coyle, who had
earlier seen the outlaw, to rcpo1t immedi.
ately to the asylum.
“When 00le comes here again,” said
Warden Mitchell, “I shall tell him to go
home. That means that no attempt will
be made to take Perry away until the reg-
ular period for extradition elapses.”
Perry had a stormy interview with
Keeper Coyle last night. When he saw the
keeper, he shouted:
“Say, Coyle, I want to tell you that if
I’m put in the isolated ward and treated
as I have been hitherto there’ll be trouble.
I want to give you and the others fair
warning. I shall submit no longer.
fully recovered in a few days.
Simon Kelly, the chief of police and
picturesque mayor of Wechawken, called.
at the jail today and told Warden Mitchell
not to deliver Perry to the asylum author-
ities until the 32,250 reward had been paid
over to Detective Edward J. Clifford and
Policeman McAlcccc, who captured the'
outlaw.
After a. Requisition.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., April 18. —Dr.
R. B. Lamb, who was sent to Wechawken
last night after Convict Oliver 0. Perry,
came back to the Matteawan asylum on
learning that Perry would not _be allowed
to leave New Jersey without requisition
papers.
This morning Superintendent Allison of
the asylum prepared the necessary affida
vits and other papers, which were sent to
Albany today for the governor’s signature.
Detective Clifford, who captured Perry,
is under Chief Humphrey of the New York
Central system. The chief said today:
“As soon as I learned that a rowboat
had been stolen from Low point the night
after the escape I notified Detectives Clif-
ford, Humphrey and Betta, who are on the
West Shore division, that one or more of
the men might have taken the West Shore
road, and cautioned them to watch espe-
cially in the vicinity of chhawkcn, which
is a great resort for tramps.
“By agreement amongfhemselves, Clif-
ford, Humphrey and Betts divided the dis.
trict into three sections, each covering a
part. .As is customary under such circum-
stances the reward, I presume, will be
divided among them.” ,
Rough Passage of the Lyndhurst.
BATAVIA, April 18.—The British ship
