On Monday last the J ustice‘s, Select—
men, Constables and Grand Jurors of
the town of Norwalk assembled in sol-
emn conclave and placed in nomination
ab number of jurors. I On Tuesday the
list appeared in the GAZETTE together
with a short notice calling attention to
the galaxy of names that had been nom-
inated;
While we were not especially proud
of St veral of the names which adorned
the list, we supposed, of course, that
they had been placed in nomination
Without fear or favor. But on the very
day that the GAZETTE published the list
our sedate Representatives at Hartford,
in cold blood, were at work cutting
down lhg per diem pay of our jurors.
We could have stood the cutting down
process, although it might have made
some of our jurors cringe, but we were
not prepaer for the cruel statements
made in the heat of debate.
During the height of this awful rev-
enue reduction the charge was made on
the floor Of the ‘House that “a high
compensation, had generally caused the
drawing of jurors to be merged into a
ring in which incompetent parties had
long held a round of positions.”

but who ever suspicioned a ring in Nor-
walk ? The chargemust haveI'IbeIen false ‘3'

cerned.

One Case of Stealing.
A New York police judge a day or
two ago not only discharged a man
caught in the act of stealing, but told
him to take the stolen article to his
home and use it. And this “action of
the magistrate is cordially approved by
all decent people who have heard of it.
Indeed, if he had enforced the letter of
the law in this case he would have been
justly despised for heartless cruelty.
The article stolen was a can of milk.
The person for whom it was stolen was
a starving little child. The stealer was,
the little one’s father—an industrious
man, out of work, out of money, out of
food, and destitute of anything that he
could pawn Or sell to raise money. " He
had tried .to borrow, but his friends
were almost as poor as; himself. The
law forbade him to beg or steal. But
paternal affection, a lawflhigher than
the statutes of the commonwealth, com-
manded him not to let his child starve
to death.‘ This was the case presented
to the court, and the decision was
righteous, although in direct contra-
vention of the letter of the law.
The stealing that is committed as the
last resort of misery, committed to
save life when no other course is open
is not the kind of stealing for which
statutory penalties are provided; It is
the duty of the courts to find out the
facts when the excuse of helpless pover-
ty and absolute destituti‘on ‘ is offered,
for there must be no encouragement of
theft; but When, after'due inquiry a
judge is satisfied that his excuseis hon-
estly given, he can find no better pre-
cedent than the example of the New
York judge who sent John Lent home
with the stolen milk to feed his hungry -’
little child.

additional words. ~
The pneumatic tire enabled the cy-
cler to outstrip the trolter and pacer in
point of speed, but not satisfied with
this, the time of the running horse was
successfully eclipsed in straightaway
performances. I11 any distance above
the mile the animal is left far in the
rear. It is because of these wonderful
records negotiated awheel' that the at-
« tention of the public and the unwilling
interest of horsemen have been attract- '
ed to the “silent steed” that demands
little except oil and care.
The doings of the crackajacks of the
path are now more widely read about
than are the achievements of Robert J.
and Alix, of the harness contingent, or
Domino and Dr. Rice, of the thorough-
brcds. Zimmerman, Wheeler, Johnson
Banker, Bald, Sanger, Dirnberger and
others, have international reputations,
and their movements are chronicled
most faithfully.
Thus far the conduct of cycleracing
in this country has been very amateur-
ish, but the dawn of a new era is at
hand. Unsuccessfully has the L. A. W.

Thousands of people witnessed the
road and track events on Decoration-

of the number that enjoyed the national
game. Racing men have never been
more numerous than this year, and the

Gregory—Stanley.
The. residence of Stephen K. Stanley
on Main street, was the scene last night
of‘wedding festivities that were a joy to
all concerned. The rooms in the house
had been beautifully embellished with
fragrant and attractive specimens of
the flowery kingdom and the room
in which the ceremony took place, was
an elysium of beauty, added to which
was the presence of the pretty bride.
The contracting parties were Josiah
G. Gregory and Miss Lucia K. Stanley
and the nuptial knot was securely and
nicely tied by Rev. J. C. Gregory, of
Bingham, Maine, a brother of the
groom.
The bride,_a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Stephen K. Stanley, was becom-
ingly attired in a gown of white silk
trimed with point lace and satin ribbon
and looked beautiful, and as she stood;
under a floral arch with the young man.
to whom she was to be r. wedded, one"
'c‘buld not but say that a handsomer
couple ’twould be hard to find.
The bride was given away by her
‘father in a courtly manner, and the
ceremonies while nnostentatious were
impressive and beautiful.
Miss Bessie Stanley a sister of the
bride was a charming bridesmaid and
wore a gown of white silk prettily trims
med with white satin.
The wedding supper was a symphony
of palate pleasing delectables and was
greatly enjoyed.
The ushers were Edward and Her-
bert Stearns of Brooklyn, Harold Glen-
denning and Walter Gregory.
. Mr. and . Mrs. Gregory left on an
evening train for New York city from
which place they intended leaving to-
day for a visit to Washington and other
places of interest. The coach in which
they went from the house to the station
was a marvel. It was literally covered
with white satin ribbons, Slippers, rice,
etc.
The wedding gifts were as elegant as
numerous. '
Among these present was the grand-
father of the bride, Stephen Stanley,
aged 92 years.

Wants $100,000 Damages from
Hetty Green.
FI‘or Slander Alleged In Words Be-
fore a Referee.
Miss Mary Irene Hoyt, the daughter
of the late Jesse Hoyt, has brought an
action in the New York Supreme Court,
through her counsel to recover $100, 000
damages from Mrs. Betty Green, the
wealthy daughter of the late Edward
Mott Robinson, for alleged slanderous
statements made concerning her on
May 10 last, at the office of Henry H.
Anderson, No. 2 Wall street. The
statements complained of were made
during the progress of the reference
that has been pending for several years,
brought by Henry A. Barling, as the
surviving executor of the will of Mr.
Robinson, for the purpOse of having a
settlement of his accounts. At the
hearing it is charged that Mrs. Green,
in the presence of a number of per-
sons, including several newspaper re-
porters, made use of the following lan-
guagc concerning Miss Hoyt:
“Did yen ever see such a set of buz-
zards? Oh, it 18 and to think of poor
Irene Hoyt (meaning plaintiff). Joe
Choate (meaning Joseph .H. Choate)
andthe other buzzards got hold other
and she is in an asylum now. Barling
was the star witness for Clients in that
case. ”
These remarks were published the
following day. Miss Hoyt says that the
to the public that she was mentally in-‘
capacitatcd andwas insane, and was
restrained of‘hel‘f liberty on account of
her inability to care for her person and ‘
estate, all of. which she boys is false,
malicious and untrue.
Miss Hoyt in her complaint in the
present action says that her mother,
Helen‘Maria“ Hoyt, was a witness in
the ' proceedings in, the Surrogate’s
court, and testified that" She was not and
never had been insane. She says that
during all the years of that lltioation
she was treated by all the courts in
which she was a litigant, including the
Supreme, Surrogate’s, the Court of
Appeals of New York, and the, United
States and other courts in Michigan, as
a perfectly competent litigant, fully
able to conduct her business and affairs.
In some Of ”the litigationsft was al-
ledged that she had at one time been
restrained of her liberty. This assert-
ion was full y published at the time, not
withstanding the fact that Miss Hoyt
insisted that such restraint was unwar-
ranted. She brought an action against
the persons who were responsible for
her incarceration inAan insane asylum
in Pennsylvania, some relatives of her
father, and two of the executors of his
will, claiming heavy damages, but sub-
sequently the proceedings were settled
between the parties and withdrawn.f
Her incarceration was about the time
of the death Of her father.
those proceedings Miss Hoyt says she'
was treated as a perfectly competent
person.
Since then she has been leading a
quiet life, like any other sane and re-I
spectable person, and she declares that:
the uttering of the language complain-
ed of by Mrs. Green has served to re-_
vive the public interest in her former.

He declined to say anything further than
that the law, whatever it may he, would

DALLAS, June 5.—-Dan A. Stewart, who
has secured the Corbett-Fitzslnimons fight
for this city, runs a large turf exchange
on Main street in this city. He is a sport-
ing man with pl ty of money and grit.
On the streets the contest, Corbett,
Fltzsimmons and Dan Stewart «have been ‘
the almost exclusive topics of conversa-
tion. The great mass of talkers are pleased
with the selection of Dallas, and Stewart
is quite a lion among them.
In sporting circles the opinion is gener-
ally expressed that Corbett will do the
bulk of his training at Asbury Park, N.
J., and Fitszimmons at Galveston.
T. P. Roberts, commenting on the com-
ing event, said:
“It will be the biggest event in the his-
tory of Dallas. It will bring a crowd of at
least 6, 000 people over and above the fall:
crowd. This crowd will remain a week,
and, exclusively of about $200, 000 which
it will pay for tickets to the several glove
contests, the visitors will spend a good
. large sum. 80 you see this glove contest
will be worth more to Dallas, from a
financial standpoint, than the entire agri-
cultural product for the year. An amphi:
theater with a seating capacity worth $50,-
000, including especial department for 200
reporters, will be erected near the fair
grounds. The ring will be in the center
slightly elevated. The general plan will
be after the great Chicago Wigwam for the
Democratic convention of 1892, but with
only one incline and fully one-fourth lar-
ger, and roofless. The tickets will both,

boxes for $500 each Subsequent details
