The Horse Show-
If premises are not deceptive, the
Horse Show, which opens to—day at
Madison Square Garden, will well merit
the widespread interest which it is ex-
citing. Beneath the roof of that gigan:
tic structure will be gathered the finest
collection of equine stock ever seen on
the American continent. Every breed
and strain worthy. of the name will be
represented, and the exhibition cannqt
fail to be one deserving of study. But
the horse interesting as this noble ser—
vitor of man is, will’not constitute the
sole attraction of the show. ' Society
and fashion also will be on exhibition——
well groomed men and handsomely
gowned women, and, outshinning all-
else, the American girl in the plenitude
of her glory. Every person, therefore,
who can,_,sho’uld enjoy this social page-
ant as it’is something which can be seen
but once a twelvemonih.

Dunraven’s Latest.
Lord Dunraven is an incorrigible
sorehead. Not content with severalim-
potent attempts to vindicate his pu’erile
conduct in withdrawing from the yacht
contests last September he is now out
in a tiresome four column “statement”
in a London newspaper, In which he
again goes over the grounds of that in-
cident in detail and inferentially ac-
cuses the backers of the Defender with
crookedness. --It is not worth while to
pay further attention to this alleged
”sportsman.” Evidently he is conscious
that his conduct was totally indefensi'w
his or he would not repeatedly try to
square himself before the public. If
this petulant Irish Earl was ever on-
titled to be called a sportsman, he has
forfeited that right forever, and should
be hereafter regarded on this side of
the water in the light of his real char-
acter, a “noble” Britisher with an ig-
noble grievance.
Allan G. Thurman.
No one will begrudge to Allen G.
Thurman, the stricken Ohio statesman,
the title of the “Old Roman.” by which
he has been popularly known during
recent years. That he had his limita-
tions intellectually is admitted. That
his public career was beyond criticism
no one will contend. He was a rugged
partisan of the old Democratic school
and was often found in sympathy with
policies and measures which time has
shown were opposed to’ the true pro-
gress and development of the Republic.
But whatever his faults of judgment
may have been, there has never been
any question as to his noble integrity of
heart. His absolute sincerity and
patriotism are unimpcachable. No
shadow of deliberate wrongdoing ever
He detested sham,
He never phari-
darkened his name.
cant and subterfuge.
saically posed as a man better than his
party. He was a democrat, not because
it paid to be a Democrat, but because
he honcStly believed in the principles
of Democracy. Such a foe is to be
respected. In adddition, Allen G.
Thurman was pro-eminently 9. states-
man, nota politician, and it was for-
this cause that the Democrats of Ohio
drove him from public life. There is
poetic justice in the fact that he has
lived until the present time, for last
week saw the last of his persecutors
hurled from power. The memory of
the “Old Roman” is one which all
patriotic Americans willwarmly cherish.
It Was an unfortunate day for our coun-
try, when Allen G. Thurman and George
F. Edmonds, strong political opponents,
but stronger personal friends left the
Senate of the United States.

Town Attorney Kendrick of Water-
bury has advised the town not to pay
the war bounties under the legislative
act of 1895 until the constitutionality of
the act is decided in the case brought

The Pastor disc. Patrick’s Church,"
Waterbury, a Victim of an
Accident.
A Veranda Railing Breaks and Pre-
cipitates Him to the Ground.
Rev. J. H. Duggan, pastor of 'St.
Patrick’s church, Waterbury, died last
night at 5 o’clock, as a result of a fall
received on Wednesday of last week.
Father Duggan was leaning against
the railing on the veranda at the new
rectory, and it being frail, gave way
and the'priest was precipitated to, the
ground, a distance of four feet. He
was very heavy, weighing 275 pounds,
and while his fall was not considered
dangerous at the time, it was feared
that he might be seriously injured in-
He apparently improved, however,
until Friday night, when a change for
the worse took place. Dr. 'Bacon, of
New Haven, Was in consultation with
Dr. Benedict who had charge of the
case, and the priest’s condition was pro-
nounced‘hopeless. He grew gradually
worse and died last night.
Father Duggan was born in Counly
Tipperary, Ireland, about 55 years ago.
He was ordained-at Sulpiciau seminary
in Montreal, in 1874, and first served
as assistant pastor at churches in
Thompsonville and New Britain. He
was subsequently pastor of St. Francis’
church in Torrington, and later had
charge of the church in Thompsonville.
In 1880, when St. Patrick’s parish was
established, he was appointed pastor.
For thirteen years he had been build-
ing a new granite church and, rectory,
whose combined cost when completed,
will be $200,000. Bishop Tierney will
conduct the funeral which will be held
at 10 a. 111. Wednesday.

A Husband's Assault.
Milford was startled Saturday over
an assault committed by John Cum-
mings, a laborer 45 years old, upon his
wife, which is likely to result in her
death.
About 10 o’clock Friday night Cum-
mings went home. He had been drink-
ing. He says that he and" his wife
quarreled; this Mrs. Cummings denies.
She says he went immediately to bed
upon entering the house, and she, fear-
ing there might be trouble, lay upon a
,lounge in the kitchen. .
'1 Suddenly her husband sprang out of
bed and attacked her with a. large knife
which he carried. It had a curved
blade but was not very sharp. The
brute slashed her across the abdomen,
makinga out eight inches long, but
not penetrating to a serious depth. He
then slashed her across the throat twice,
butjustcscaped severing the jugular.
The woman’s cries attracted neighbor-
ing residents, and she was rescued.
Cummings was arrested, and Saturday
JusticclPlatt bound him over under
$1,000 bonds to await the result of his
wife’s ibjuries. He was taken to the
county jail.

A PlucKy Sherlf'f.
Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy of Greenwich,
effected aclever capture of two horse
thieves in Portchester. The men were
wanted for operations in Bethe], Conn.
They passed through Stamford at 8:30
last night and word was at once sent to
Fitzroy to look for them at- Greenwich.
He held the thieves up at that place,
but they beat him off with an axe han-
dle and'drove on. Fitzroy followed in
a team and succeeded in arresting the
men at Portchester after a hard fight.
It was necessary to club them into in-

The men are now locked up at Green-

A sensible Ordinance.
The city council of Atchison, has pas-
sed an ordinance making it unlawful
for children to play around the tracks
of the street railways or climb upon the
steps or platforms of the cars. Parents
will be held repsonsible for the acts of
their children. It might be well for
the twin cities of Norwalk to pass like
ordinances. While as yet no children
have been injured by the cars, it is not
because they do not play on the tracks,
but owing to the careful manner in
which the motormen run their care.
There have, hdwever, been several nar-
row escapes of children being struck
by the cars, and something should be
done to keep them from playing on the
tracksiand cars. ..

Mrs. Oscar Wolcott and Three Tran-
sients Arrested.
Shortly before one o’clock, Sunday
morning, Chief Vollmer came to police
headquarters and summoning Captain
Colegi‘ove, Detective Gladstone and
officer Decker, made a raid on the
house No. 187, on the Washington
street bridge, kept by Mrs. Oscar Wol-
cott.
When the officers reached the house,
which is upstairs over Finch’s drug
store, they found the door securely
locked. The Chief knockedand Mrs.
Wolcctt responded and was at once
placed under arrest on the charge of
keeping a disorderly house.
The officers then visited the rooms of
Mrs. Wolcott and secured one female
and two male transients, who had evi-
dently heard the conversation below
and exchanged apartments before the
officers reached them. They were all
placed under arrest. ,
One of the male visitors who was
found in bed was inclined to resent the
presence of the officers and insisted
that he had not violated the law, but
when the Chief reached down and
picked up from the floor at the side of
the bed a pair of ladies’ shoes and
stockings and asked the man if he wore
them, the visitor quickly changed his
tactics.
The other man was found secreted in
a closet.
The prisoners each put up acash bond
and were released. Mrs. Wolcott un-
der the name of Mary Simmons depos-
ited $25, and the others left $10 under
the assumed names of John White, Ada
Reynolds and Thomas Jones.
Bel‘ore-leaving,0hief'Vollmer notified
Mrs. Wolcott that unless she closed her
house he would make another descent
upon her, and she promised to leave
town at once. .
As the officers were going down \Vash-
ington street towards Mrs. Wolcott’s,
they were seen by a young man who
hastened across the bridge to an alleged
gambling resort and notified the pro-
prietor that his den was be raided, and
it is said that there never was Seen
such a scattering of card players as they
dashed for the door. _
This morning when the case of Mrs.
Wolcott and her transcient guests came
up in the town court, no one appeared
and their bonds were forfeited. Judge
Frost took occasion to say, however,
that the forfeiting of bonds’did not set-
tle the cases with the state and ordered
Chief Vollmer to bring them into court
on the first provocation when their
cases would be settled.
A Bore—constrictor.
Franklin avenue, for years past, has
been prolific in snakes, especially that
and Belden avenue. On Saturday a
real snake and t a pliant sy of the in.
flame‘d brain, ly uriset " e quietude
of one genuine prohibition family. ' A
terrified member of the household came
running to the head of the family with
the excited exclamation, “howly St.
Patrick and there’s a live shnaike, a
real anaconder, hero forninst the wood-
shed; sure and he’s siven fate long, so
he is, wid ’is ’ead standin’ up loike a

all the near neighbors were in a com—

they went, pell mell. The first strike,
resulted in a collision and tangle of all
the implements of warfare in which the
shovel was broken and off went the head
of the rake. ' The pitchfork blow, came
so close to his snakeship that it began
to uncoil and roll about like a barrel
hoop. This caused an instant panic and
the valiant snake destroyers fled in such
precipitate haste as to fall all over each
other. The head of the family fell
on a slippery spot and tore the flesh
and sadly blackened and blued her
limbs. But this hurt, as she says “jist
got her Irish up,” and it evidently did,
as she returned to the fray with renew-
ed vigor and soon dispatched the'writh-
ing reptile with the headless rake han-
dle. The boaconstrictor proved to be
a young garter snake and measured [If-I

morning for aid. . Selectman Selleck
looked over the books and found that
the woman had been credited with re-

thing like $100. The woman positively
denied having ever received but one
order from the town and that for an
amount not in excess of $2. - She was
given an order. Mr. Selleck says that
this is but a sample of several others,
and he proposes giving them all a

went out he told her that she would
probably be called upon to testify in
the matter at such time as an investiga-

Michael Fahan’s Horse'Roasted to
' Death.-
The fire-bug got inisome more of his
wicked work this morning. This time
be selected a barn at the rear of the
Street place on North avenue, near the
cornerof Main-street. '
The fire wasfirst discovered by Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hyatt. who lives near by in
the Meeker house, about 5:30 o’clock.
She immediately aroused her son-in-law
George S. Grumman, who sans every-
thing but his trousers, rushed out of the
house and pulled BOX 56, (one of the
Stevens’ pattern) which acted very
erratically in sounding the alarm, it
striking 3-2-6, 3-9-6, and then two
rounds of 56' I
- In'the meantime Harry Simpson who
lives near" y, saw ’ the blaze, and
hastened to the barn where he met Con-
ductor Joseph Bucknam of the Street
Railway company, and Harry Gage.
They did what they could to save
property in the barn but Were unable"
to rescue anything but a delivery
wagon, on account of the intense heat
from the flames which enveloped the
entire barn.
Phoenix Engine company was the
first to reach the fire and made a con-
nection with the hydrant at Cross street,
’and had the flames well under subjec-
tion when the supply wagon, .Hope
Hose company and Pioneer Hook and
Ladder company arrived with their
apparatus. I
Hope Hose made connection , with the
hydrant at the corner 9f School street
ing the buildings that were in close
proximity to the flames. Hose was
taken from the supply wagon and a
connection made with the hydrant on
Camp street and the three streams were
brought to bear on the fiamesand they
were quickly drowned out and the fire
kept from doing any damage other than
in the burn where it originated.
The barn was occupied by Michael
Fahan, and besides a- horse valued at
3300, contained about a ton of hay,
some oats, a delivery wagon, harness,
etc, all of which with the exception of
the wagon were consumed. Mr. Fahan
had an insurance of $200 on the horse
and the same amount on his wagon,
harnesses, etc., through the agency of
O. E. Wilson. '
’l‘hebarn belonged to the‘Street es-
tate and was insured for $200 in the
Norwalk and Westehester Fire Insur-
ance companies. ”
The fire is believed to have been the
work of an incendiary. Mr. Samuel
Malia who was passing by as early as
smoke, and Milkman W. H. Sherwood
is said to have delivered milk at a house
close by at the same hour but did not
see the least sign of a fire. ' John Mc-
Cullough who came by the place be-
tween5and0 o’clock is positive that
he saw a lantern standing on the ground
in front of the barn.
Mr. Fahan told a GAZETTE represen.
tative this morning that he had no
regular hour for feeding his horse it
sometimes being as late as 9 o’clock be
fore the animal was fed. He said that
he was at the barn at about 5:30 last
night and gave the horse his supper
and that at that time everything was all
right. The first he knew of Lie fire
was when told of it at his store and
when he learned of the death of the
horsewhich be highly valued. Both
he and Mrs. Fahan were moved to tears
over their loss.

Shortly after six o’clock Saturday
evening, the double house owned by
Miner C. Randall, on Cottage avenue,
and occupied by Edward E. Mead and
Norman Hatchman, was discovered to

An alarm was quickly sounded, and the
inmates who were at supper, rushed up

bors succeeded in rescuing their furni-

In the meantime, the firemen of May-

a stream of water playing on the flames
which were soon subdued, but not be.-
