New Election Laws.

Now that the date for the annual
local elections in Connecticut is ap-
proaching, interest is beginning to de-
velop in the election laws which were
passed by the recent legislature. The
secret ballot law Of 1889 was re-enacted
with some amendments, modifications
and additions. One of the important
changes renders a person, not expressly
authorized, who shall have in his pos-
session anoflioial envelope or who has
anything to do with a forged Official
envelope or a forged Oflicial ballot,
liable to a penalty that will make his

hair stand on end.
A corrupt practices act was passed,

although it is not very dangerous.
Under it every candidate for office is

 

required, within ten days after election, ,

to file in the town clerk’s office a sworn
and itemized statement of his election
expenses and campaign contributions.

N 0 person or candidate is permitted tO'

make a campaign contribution except
to the treasurer of a political commit-
tee, or to a political agent. A political
agent is a person designated by any
candidate at any erection, convention
or caucus to be such by a writing filed,
with the town clerk: A candidate may
act as his own political agent. The
treasurers Of political committees, as
'well as candidates, are required to file,
under oath, detailed statements of'ex-

penditures.

By an amendment to the woman
school suffrage law a woman cannot be
registered as a qualified voter unless
she makes application to the town clerk
at Tenet five days prior to the election.

Another law-provides that the vote
upon the question of licensing the sale
of spirituous and intoxicating liquors
in any town shall be by secret ballot.
The secretary of the state is directed to
furnish Official ballots and envelopes.

By another law ability to read Eng-
lish is made a qualification for admis-
sion to the privileges of an elector, but
this requirement does not apply to any
person who has been heretofore admit-
ted as an elector in the state

'i'he use of the Myers automatic bal—
lot machine or the McTammany vot-
ing machine at local electiOns is ren-
derred permissable.

These are the chief general laws
which the recent general assembly
passed with reference to elections.

To Présarve Shade Trees.
The last general assembly having
enacted a law for the preservation of
' shade trees on highways, Secretary T.
' S. Gold, of West Cornwall, Conn, has
secured a supply of spikes and washers
which he will furnish to all who may
apply in a proper manner for them.
The spikes will be furnished free of
cost except for the expense of trans-
portation.

These spikes will be driven into the
tree to be preserved on the side ‘Of the
travelled path or roadway, at a point
notless than four nor more than six
feet from the ground.

The head of the spike will bear the
letter “C ” The nails'willbe renewed
when destroyed.

The penalty for defacing any trees
thus marked will be not less than fil-
tesn nor more than one hundred, dol-
lars, or imprisonment not less than ten
or more than thirty days.

The trees to be preserved are desig-
nated by city and town Officials.

i SERIES OF nouns.

Two Italians and a Contractor
‘Seve-r’elyv Injured.

 

Happened on the Spring Hill Sewer
Work.

 

A series of accidents occurred yester-
day afternoon on Spring Hill where the
work of laying a. sewer is being done
by Contractor Sheldon and his gang of
men.

Fortunately none Of them proved
fatal, although it was at first thought
such would be the result of one of the
number.

The first accident was to an Italian.
A heavy stone was being moved by .a
derrick. In some way the chain to
which the stone was attached swung
around and struck the Italian, who
was looking in another direction, a
heavy blow on the back of the head,
cutting an ugly looking gash and knock
ing him senseless to the ground. He
was cared for by his fellow workmen,

- and in about two hours was able to

walk to his home. He was not, how-
ever, able to resume work to-day, and
it is.fsared that the injury may prove
to be of a serious nature:

Accident number “two also happened
to an Italian. He was at work at the
bottom of a ditch about nine feet in
depth. He threw a jagged edged stone
weighing perhaps twenty pound up on
to the edge of the ditch, and vans stoopv
ing down to shovel up some smaller
stones, when the first one fell and
struck him a heavy blow on top of the
head. The force of the blow rendered-
him insensible for a few moments, and
he was lifted out of the trench by his
comrades and placed on the grass near
by. Showing signs of reviving he was
then carried to a hydrant close by and
the wound on his head which was fully
three inches long was washed and
bandaged, after which he was again
placed on the grass under a shade-tree,
and in a few hours had sufficiently re-
covered to walk home. His injury is :1.
Severe one and W111, probably incapaci-
tate him for work for several days.

The third accident happened to Con-
tractor Sheldon himself. He Was on-
gaged in using a heavy hammer, and
drew‘his arm back and struck a hard
blow. The face of the hammer did
not hit the place aimed at but instead

.. fell. with a crushing force upon the back

of his left hand, causing a severe bruise.
After bathing it with cold water he re-
sumed his work, but was mighty care-
ful how he aimed the hammer, the rest
of the day.

One Dose Cured Him.

non, N. Y. The president of the asso-

ed upon to preside. John H. Porter

The meeting was attended by about
150 veterans and their families. John
H. Porter, who has held the ofi'ice of
secretary for the past seven years, was
tendered a vote of thanks for his valu-
able services in behalf of the associa-
tion and was renominated for the Office,
but declined, as he has not the time to
perform the duties required. After the
meeting adjourned the veterans. and

RECOVEREME COPPER

Two Hundred Pounds Stolen In
Greenwich.

Chief Vollmer and Detective Glad-
stone Locate the metal and CaD~
ture One of the Thieves.

About two weeks ago Chief Vollmer
and Detective G- Washington Glad-
stone discovered thai. two Italians had
in their possession some 200 pounds of
sheet copper and were trying to dispose
of it in town. The officers became sur-
picious that everything was not right
and that the men had stolen it. ‘
After making a quiet investigation
about town and finding'the' copper had
not been stolen from any Norwalk mer-
chant, the Oflicers opened communica
tion with the Stamford police and were
rewarded with the information that
the thieves had stolen it. from a man
named Lockwood of Greenwich. ’
Word was immediately dispatched to
Mr. Lockwood and yesterday he came
to South N orwalk with Sherifi' Fitzroy.
The three ofiicers then went to work
to track the copper, which had been re-
moved from its hiding place by the
Italians during the investigation of
Chief Vollmer and Detective Gladstone.
It did not take long to ascertain that
the metal had been '. taken to New Ha-
ven where it was sold to Corey, 'Downs
& Co., of that city. As soon as Mr.
Lockwood and Sheriff Fitzroy recover-
ed the copper ihey returned to South
N orwalk to capture the thieves.

In the meantime Detective Glad-
stone had gone to . Whistleville and
placed one of the Italians named Frank
under arrest. His partner in crime
was away in Stamford but Frank prom-
ised to take the officers to his place of
abode in that city.

On‘the arrival of Sheriff Fitzroy and
Mr. Lockwood the prisoner was turned
over. to them and they took him to
Stamford on the 5:20 o’clock train.

The Work of Chief Vollmer and De:
tective Gladstone on the case deserves
special praise for had they not taken
the matter up when discovered the
thieves "would have escaped with their
booty. '

JUDGE DUFFY DEAD.

A Picturesque J udfcial Figure Passes Away
at Forked River, N. J.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Judge P. G.
Dufi'y died at the Lafayette House, Forked
River, N. J ., today.

‘The death of Judge Dufl'y had been
hourly expected for the past three days.
The extreme unction was administered on
Monday morning, and after that time
“the little judge,” as he was always
called, sank fast.

Patrick Gavan Dufl'y-was'the most pic-
turesque police justice that ever sat on a
New York bench. During the 17 years he
served as a police justice his name became
known from Maine to California. He was
the son of a college professor who died
when he was "very young. His uncles,
Who took charge of him, destined him
for the church. He was sent to Seton Hall
college, where he was graduated with
honors. Shortly before he was graduated,
however, he decided not to enter the
church. On his arrival in New York he.
got a place as, a teacher in the First Ward
public school.

Finally he dipped into politics and be-
came one of the shining political lights of
the First ward. In 1869 he was made a
police justice. John Kelly was the leader
of Tammany Hall at that time, and Duffy
became one of his right hand men.

Duffy’s airy persiflage made him fa-
mous. Whether on the bench, in the
schoolroom or on the street the little
judge was always ready for a joke. '
When Duffy’s first term expired, he was
not reappointed. After two years of po-
litical life he found himself on the bench
again, and there he remained without a
break until his term expired in'1893.
Dufi'y made a specialty of knOwing his
