Tillman’ 8 Speech.
Senator Tillman’ s assault on the
President was unfortunate to the point
of d1sgrace. .Whether his motive were
honest or the opposite is of no impor-
tance; honesty would be no defence to
his miserable diatribe nor would falsity
of uniposc have made it worse. It was
an cutmgc 1‘1'o111 any standpoint and
how cv er explained.
There is such a place! as the Senate
chamber, such an Office as the Presiden-

wantonly heaped with insult.

LEGAL PLEASANTRIES.‘
Brought Out in the Lockwood Suit for
Damages.
, The arguments in tb‘éflcase of Mauice
De F. Lockwood vs. The Norwalk
Tramway CO. were clOsed 111 the Super-
ior court yesterday. Attorney J. Belg
_ den Hurlbutt closed for the plaintiff,
and as he was finishing, the proceedings
were enlivened to some extent by his
statement that the real defendant was
an insurance company, and not the
Tramway Co. This, he claimed was a
state of affairs that should not be al-
lowed, as the real parties to blame for
the injuries to Mrs. Lockwood would
not be called upon to pay one cent of
the damages she might be awarded.
Here Judge DeForert, who was con-
ducting the defence, asked Mr. Hurl-
butt if he was going into speculation.
To this Mr. Hurlbutt replied. “Not by
any means, but if I did enter into that,
my imaginative powers could not begin:
to compare with yours.’
Judge DeForest said th:. -"16 was no
. : need of being discourteous when a civ-
His health and strength and
il question was asks-d and then Mr.
Hurlbutt apologized and said he had
no such intention. In his argument
Mr. Hurlbutt said the cause of the ac-
cident was that two cars going in oppo-
site directions had tried to pass each
other on'thc same track and’hadifailed.
Such experiments had always; resulted‘(
in failure and always would. He also
took occasion to score the company for
their conduct at the time of the 'acci-
dent, and said Mr. Lockwood was
obliged to carry his wife, who was in-
jured, for quite a distance, and~ the
company had never inquired as to the
extent of her injuries, and had never
offered to do anything for her. He be-
lieved that‘ companies, when it was
shown that such accidents occurred
through gross carelessness, should be
proceeded against criminally. Neither
Mr. Lockwood nor his wife were after
the company’s money; they had enough
without that. Mr. Lockwood’s object
was justice, and the laudable desire to
have such companies taught that they
cannot. with impunity, violate laws des-
ignatedto make them careful of lives
and limbs of their patrons.
Mr. Hurlbutt had referred to officials
of the Tramway Company as interested,
witnesses, but after he had remarked
that the company would not' pay any of
the damages awarded, Judge DeForest
asked him how he harmonized the two
statements. This may have been some-
what of a poser, as Mr. Hurlbutt did
,not reply. The Judge took the papers
and reserved his decision.

A Fake.
A story was sent out from New Haven
to the effect that many thousands of
dollars’ worth of curiosities—ancient
pottery, arrow heads, "etc—had been
stolen from the Peabody museum dur-
ing the last two years, and that about
$10,000 worth of the articles had been
recovered. Prof. Marsh, custodian of
the museum, says that the museum is
constantly losing little curios, as a
public library loses books. This was
inevitable and unavoidable in any place;
where the public had access to the
things. Athousaud dollars, however,
would cover all the losses that the
museum has sustains

A South Norwalk lilac Arrest-A
' ed in'East Norwalk by a -_
. Norwalk Officer.
A’Serious Charge Preferred Again-st Him
by'Womcn.
Complaint was made at police head-
quarters by a resident of East avenue,
"that women were being grossly insulted
on that avenue by a man of whom they
were able to give a prettv good descrip-
tion as the insults offered had occurred
in the afternoon, and in broad daylight.
Officer Morehouse was detailed on
the case yesterday afternoon, suc-
ceeded in capturing 11 man who he be.
lieves to be the guilty one complained
of. ‘
Wednesday afternoon, the officer
visited the section in which theinsults
had occurred but failed to get any
track of the man he not putting in an
appearance, or at least keeping out of
sight of the officer. '
Nothing daunted, Officer Morcllouse
continued the search yesterday. and
visited different sections where gangs
of men are employed hoping to find
some one answering the description
given, but w1thout avail. In the after-
noon he strolled around to East. avenue,
and after a while got on th e fellow’s
track, and was not long in chasing him
down, and placing him under arrest,
which latter he did not do, however,
until he had taken the fellow in 11 wagon
and driven to the home of those who
had complained of his insults.
It seems that on Monday last the.
man insulted a young lady by throwing
open a long overcoat which he wore
and exposing his person, and that he
also insulted a ten year old girl in a
similar manner, and when she ran away
from him gave chase, but the girl man
aged to elude him.
He also insulted a married woman in
a like manner. As previously stated
the officer gave his prisoner the benefit
of any doubt as to his identity, by tak-
ing him before the two ladies who on
seeing him were positive that I c was
the guilty wretch. ' The little girl was
then called out and she too was posi-
tive that he was the man who ind in-
suited and chased her.
The ofiicer then being satisfird that
he had fthc right man in his custody
drove to this ci y and placed his prison-
er in the staton- house. He gave his
name as Theodore S. Mayhew and his
home South Norwalk. Later he was
brought before Judge Hubbbcll and
pleaded not guilty to the charge in the
complaint of indecent. exposure of his
person. The prisioncr was given an or»
portunity to advise his friends of his
arrest, and to secure bail in the sum of
$200 for his appearance for trial.
He was successful in securing :1 bonds-
man in the person of Gustave Pitzer of
South Norwalk, who qualified in the
above sum for the appearance of May-
how for trial next Saturday afternoon
at 2 O ’.clock
The accused has a wife and family
and lives on the Ely Neck road. He .is
a hatter by trade but works gr part of
the time at oystering he being the own-
er of oyster ground. He persists in the
statement that he is not guilty and
claims that he can prove an alibi, and
if for no other reason than for the sake
of his family, it is to be hoped th:-1t he
tells the tru h.
The parties who were instrumental 111
causing his arrest are sure that he is the
man who insulted them. and the little
girl is positive in her identification of
him. Unless he has a double or can
prove an alibi it at present looks rather
dark for him.
What further evidence Will be offer-
ed at the trial is not'knowu but it is
said that it will be veiy strong against
him.

played in front of A. H. Hoyt 8: Son’s

read, “This lot, 31.” The sign caught

vised that a. mistake had been made,
and that the intent of the reading 011
the card was $1 per p.1i1 not for tl 1e lot
“Jim” with a twinkle In his eye inno-
cently asked, “Is that so; I thought it
