Norwalk Heads the List and Re-
ceives $18,715.

The County Commissioners met yes-
terday and divided up the money which
was taken in for licenses during the
month of November among’ the towns
in which licenses were Hissued. The
total amouutho be divided was $52.-
907. Compared with the corresponding

month in 1894, it is an increase of $15,:

075. This is a most satisfactory show-'
ing and is a strong argument for a high
license fee. Although the number of
licenics is less than twelve months ago
a much larger revenue is obtained.
Most of the saloons which have gone
out of existence are of the worst class.
The following table shows the num-

'ber of licenses of all kinds issued,» the

share for each town‘and share for the

with the request that he have it cashed
and send the money to Riley. Suspect-
ing nothing, Billy took it to Landlord
Walz wno endorsed it, and the money-
was paid at the First National bank.

On Sunday Billy took the money over
to Riley, but the laiter did not know
anythin" about it. fie next attempted
to turn it over to Lambert, but he also
refused to accept it. Their refusal gave
Billy 1'1 setback and he returned home

of the Marquis to this country to dis-
pel the mistaken notion which prevails
here that he is a burly prize fighter,-

simply because his name .is associated.

with the rules of the prize ring. Not
only is he not a prize-fighter, but he
takes onl'ya languid interest in prize-
.fighting, and abhors prize-fighters.
He drafted the rules to govern fistic
contests just as a lawyer would draw up
a contract for his client. They were
good rules and were adopted by the
profession. Queensberry’s connection

‘this. In addition to nnt being a puui-

earned the thanks of all England by

Sam Pine Wanted information.

At the session of the State Board of
Pardons in Hartford yesterday, Sam
Pine appeared and asked the board to
determine how long he has to remain in
prison. Pine was sentenced to’ a six
year term and due of fear years from
Fairfield county. He escaped and
going to Hartford County was sen-

 

county sentence and now he is desirous
of knowing just when the last two sen-
tences began. The board decided that
it had no jurisdiction and advised his
counsel to secure a habeas corpus writ
and appear in the Fairfield County Su~
perior Court and have that tribunal
decide the point.

Saved by a Gateman.
The westbound express train leaving
even at 5:30 had the closest call
from a most disastrous collision that
has been experienced on the road for
many yearii', at Bridgeport yesterday.
Preceding the express on the same

track was a freight, which stood at the
Bridgeport depot, the engine taking
water from the tank and the caboose an

eighth of a mile up the track. A signal
lower at Central avenue should have
displayed a signal holding the express,
but the signals showed a clear track
and the heavy laden train rushed along
at a fifty mile an hour gait.
_ Had it not been for the presence of
mind of Gateman George W. Ferris, a
fearful accident would have occurred.
He left his position at the gate and ran
with a red lantern nearly400 feet tOWaui
the approaching express. The engin-i
1er noticed it just in time, and when
his train stopped, the engine was with-
in One car length of the caboose of the
Istanding freight. _ 1
