‘
Cut the Throat of Her Babe
While Insane.
Pitable Condition of Mrs. John C. Wake-
man, of Bridgeport.
People residing in the vicinityof
Madison avenue and Grand street,
Bridgeport, were startled yesterday
morning by cries of murder. They
came from the residence of John C.
Wakeman, 120 Madison avenue. A
neighbor rushed in and found Wake-
man holding his wife while she was
brandishing a. razor in one hand and
crying, “I kave killed baby.”
The poor little infant lay in a crib in
one of the bedrooms. Its throat had
been gashed with the keen'razor, and
it had given'one cry before gasping its
last.- After committing the deed the
insane mother with that spirit of cun-
ning that remains with all maniacs.
covered up the wound in the child’s
throat with the bed clothes but the
blood soaked through and‘ presented a
terrible sight.
Mr. Wakeman had arisen at the
' usual time and went out in the back
' State Secretary
3
yard to sift some ashes. He had been
engaged at the work for fifteen or
twenty minutes and finally went back
into the house. His wife met him as
he went in and she held a razor in her
hand which was covered with blood.
She began to laugh and cried “I have
killed baby.”
Her hair was disarranged and her
eyes had a glare in them as if she was
trying to look over his head. ’
Her husband caught hold of her and
she did not resist but kept repeating
the :mournful words, “I have killed
baby.” Investigation showed that the
little fourteen months son had been
literally butchered.
1: Mr. Wakeman said that'his wife was
just recovering from an attack of
measles, and he attributed her act to
insanity. He said that she has been
subject to fits of abberration for the
past sixteen years, or ever since the
birth of her first child. She has had
five children since then and the attacks
of insanity returned with each birth.
About two months ago she was out of
her mind for a short time, but soon re-
gained her normal condition.
Mrs. ‘Wakeman has been declared in-
come and was'taken to the Middletown
asylum today.
Christian Endeavor Bally.
So far as the program for the County
Christian Endeavor Rally to-morrow is
completed the following will be the
order :-
The afternoon session will begin at 3

'They Eat Clams.
The Pioneer base ball team enjoyed
one of Landlord _ O’Sullivan’s shore
dinners at Gregory’s Point, last even-
ing. It is unnecessary to say that the
dinner was in every particular a bang-
up good one. The only error on the
'score cardwas the absence of .Umpire
Finch who was unable to‘ be present,
and sent his regrets. Possibly he
thought he would be called upon to
“call clams” on those present and the.
undertaking would prove too much for
One man. And the mountain'of clam
shells and fish bones left behind proved
Mr. Finch to have been as good a
prophet as he is an umpire.

Commencement Exercises at
Hillside School. -
‘ .
Interesting Addresses and Musicale. '
“Excelsior" should be the motto of
Hillside school. N 0 other sentiment so’
fitly expresses its constant upward and
onward ‘course. As each succeeding
year’s Commencement exercises occur,
the question arises in all minds, as to
whether it will be possible to show fu-
ture advancement upon the high stand-
ards attained? Yet every year’s Com- '
mencement, as this interesting period
rolls round, shows distinct improve-
ment upon its predecessors.
cares DAY AT HILLSIDE.
‘ Yesterday opened most auspiciously
for class-day at Hillside, and at one
o’clock an elaborate luncheon was
served, at which covers were laid for
twenty-four. The table decorations
consisted of roses and maiden-hair fern.
At two o’clock the Alumni meeting was
held, followed at 3:30 by an address by
the Rev.S. H. Watkins. At 4:30 the
class of ’96 entertained their friends in
a most delightful manner, with class
day exercises as follOws: Address by
the President, Edith Louise Hunter,
into which she cleverly wrought class
jokes and gave some exbellent advice
to the class of ’97, founded on class ex-
perience. This was followed by an
original “Class Song.“
The class prophecy was next given by
Grace Richmond Byington, in which ‘
the will of the Fates as tolher two class-
mates were disclosed. This was replied
to by the President with a Prophecy
concerning the fate of the prophetess.
The mock presentations of gifts were
nextin order, after which all adjourn d
to the lawn, where the ceremony of
planting the class ivy took place. The
ivy oration was given by Miss Edith
Nickerson; after which the pledge of
loyalty to Hillside was given, first by
the class members forming the tri-
angle, which broadened out and was
joined by school members and then the
alumni. After this beautiful ceremony
light refreshments were served, when
the guests departed, with sweet mem-
ories of class day at Hillside.
LAST EvENING’s MUSICALE.
Never was a more artistic and refined
musicals given in Norwalk, than that
of last evening. The numbers were all
enthusiastically enacted and several re-
calls persistently made. The renditions
of the Misses Blake and Willis, the
Slaughter Sisters, (who were graduates
of the school) in their vocal and piano
selections would have been creditable to
professionals, while the exquisite play-
ing of Miss Reed on her violin charmed
all present. In answer to repeated
encores, she gave as a finale to the eve-
ning’s delightful exercises, that con-
summate melody and memory of-Bob-
ert Burns, “Robin Adair.”
A refined and appreciative audience
of QNorwalk’s best people, filled Mrs.
Mead’s spacious parlors to their ex-
tremest limits. '
To-night ends a season of_rare enter-
tainment in the final graduation exer-
cises, all proving Hillside’s clear title
to “excelsior” as its fitting motto.
School Appropriation.
The joint board of selectmen and
chool visitors held a meeting at the
selectmen’s office last evening for the
purpose of making the necessary,ap-
propriations for the maintenance of the
public schools. _
The sum of $45,280 was appropriated
an increase over last year of $2,400.
Among the increases were that of the
East Norwrlk district, amounting to
35645; Center, $550; - Over River, $350,
and South Norwalk, $735. I
The entire boards, with the excep-
tion of School Visitor Mead, were
present.
Selectman Seileck objected to the pay-
ment of $500 to the board of school
visitors without first being presented
with an itemized bill of services, he
quoting” the statutes as providing for
the payment of $2 a day for actual work
“done by each member of the board, and
not in a lump sum as asked for, and as
has hitherto according to custom, been
paid.
A good represention was present from
the several districts. ‘

ST. LOUIS, June 17.—The day of the
formal opening of the Republican national
convention opened with fine weather. A
good breeze from the north was blowing
early in the morning. but there was a
prospect of uncomfortable heat during the
day. All the candldates’ headquarters
were closed and deserted by 11 a. m., and
the majority of them were shut up soon
after midnight, but—early in the morning
the delegates at the Southern, Planters’
and Linden hotels were up and at work
Several small meetings were held even be-
fore breakfast. Among the Pennsylvania
delegates Mr. Quay was the first one attr-

ring. He put in an appearance before 7
o’clock at the headquarters of the state.
Mr. Quay had nothing to say regarding
the vote cast by Pennsylvania at her oau~
cus, which showed 6 of the 64 delegates to
be for McKinley, and which the McKinley
men claim as a small victory. He ex-
pressed himself as entirely satisfied with
the financial plank which was agreed upon
by the representatives of the sound money
states in this shape:
“The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. It caused the enactment
of the law providing for the resumption
of specie payments in 1879. Since then
every dollar has been as good as gold. We
are unalterably opposed to every measure
calculated to debase our currency or im-
pair the credlt of our country. We are,
therefore, opposed to the free and unlimit-
ed odinage of silver except by international
agreement, which we favor. and until
such agreement can be obtained the ex-
isting gold standard should be preserved.
We favor the use of silver as currency, but
to the extent only that its parity with
gold can be maintained, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain lnviolably
the money of the United States, whether
coin or paper. the standard of the most
enlightened nations of the earth.”
Mark Hanna, alert and energetic as new
a], was among the early risers, showing
his confidence in the ultimate success‘of
McKinley, a belief which apparently is
not shared by the Massachusetts men. who
are still determined in their support of
Reed. Such of them as were around their
state headquarters early said they believed
that there would be no nomination this
week, and when it was finally made Mc-
Kinley would not be the man.
Matters at the majority of the head-
quarters of the delegations Were very quiet
in the early morning. All of the caucusing
over the committee appointments and the
currency plank was over, and the delegates
ware waiting for the active proceedings in
the convention ball.
A number of the colored delegates to the
coDVention and their friends had a mass
meeting in the First Baptist church. The
only interesting action was the adoption
unanimously of a resolution that the col-
‘ored delegates were for a gold standard
plank in the platform and would not vote
for a candidate who did not represent such
a sentiment. .
Shortly after 11 o’clock the Alabama
men arrived. A few of the delegates and
the alternates straggled in, and soon the
pit became animated, but the clubs and
spectators were restrained on the outside
to await Sergeant-aoarms Byrnes’ order
to open'the doors to the public. The out-
s de of the hall resembled a beleagured
f rtress when the order was given about
11:30. A few of the more favored of those
holding tickets managed to gain admission
at the main entrance before that hour,
however. They made their way to the gal-
leries quietly, but beyond the cries of the
sergeant-anthrms and the subdued buzz of
conversation in the hall, there was no dem-
onstration untllafter the public doors Were
opened. The qbiet within was in marked
contrast with the cheering crowds and
clashing bands without.
Several delegations marched down he-
hind their bands and left the hands out-
side the hall, where they stood about.
At 11:20 Senator Carter, chairman of
the national committee, who was to call
the convention to order. arrived and gave
his final instructions to the secretaries and
reading clerks. The 480 seats reserved for
the press were filled with busy DeWspaper
men, and the click of telegraph instru-
ments already began to carry the music of
the convention to the outside world.
The Convention Called to Order.
As the noon hour approached the crowds
Were swelled until they filled a radius of
two or three'blocks from the hall in every
direction. They were good natured crowds,
and showed a willingness to cheer impar-
tially for the delegations and all the ban-
ners of different candidates.
The hands of the clock were 81:12:20
when Chairman Carter of Montana, un-
walstcoated and ,with widespreading shirt
bosom, stepped forward, and, with three
fierce cracks of his gavel by way of pre-
liminary. sought to make his voice pierce
the general rustle.
The attempt was a futile one, however.
He was exhorting the supernumerarles'
who crowded the aisles, between delegates’
seats “to please retire.” These gentlemen
failed to hear him, but his injunction was
rapidly carried into eflect by hustling
