‘ John 1. Gets Drunk andvlfioes;
to the Lockhp. '
Bailed nut in a Short Time... ~
The city was'tréated to another exhi-
bition by the Hanlons last night. This
time it was John J. Hanlon, the baking
powder man, who created the distur-
bance and drew together as large a
crowd as a circus could‘have drawn.
Immediately after furnishing bail for
the two Reynolds’, who were tried yes-
terday fortheir drunken exhibition on
a Tramway car Sunday night, John be:
gan to fill up and at noon was carrying
a good sized jag.
When the court for the trial of Slat.
tery and Burke, two more of the Sun-
day night gang, opened at 2 o’clock,
John was in a condition that should
have caused his arrest. He refused to
obey the order of the court to sit down,
and Chief Bradley ejected him from the
room. .
During the afternoon he continued
the filling up process, and at 8 o’clock
in. the evening, complaint was made to
Officer Valiant that he-was creating a'
disturbance on Water street. The of-
ficer went after him, and John resisted
arrest and showed fight. The officer
soon overpowered him, however, but
tore nis trousers in the scuffle.
After he had been secured-Captain
Danu appeared on the scene and assist-
ed Ofi‘icer Valiant in landing him in the
lockup. On the way John objected to
the Captain’s presence also to the large
crowd following on behind. To the
latter he made the inquiry, “Do-you
want to queer me.” .
Before the oficers had John secured
in the dilapidated lockup his friends
were running about town trying to pro-
cure his release ou bail. They soon
found Judge Hubbell who issued an
order for his release upon John Man-
ning’s putting up a $25 cash bond.
Councilman Kent, chairman of the
.-police committee, .had but a few min-
utes before the complaint notified
that these almost nightly rOWs and
drunks upon thestreets must cease. He
had also spoken about Hanlon’s drunken
condition.
Mayor Wheeler, too, had issued or-
ders to the police after Hanlon’s’ arrest,
that he was not to be released from the
lockup before morning, but after a con-
sultatiou with him the Judge :is-
sued the order to'Jailer Howard to re-
leasehim.
This morning Hanlon was charged
with intoxication, breach of the peace
and abusive language and his case was
continued until this afternoon at 2
o’clock I owing to Prosecuting Attorney
Gregory having a civil case at 10 o’clock- .
THEY SURRENDERED.
. Hanlon, Slattery and Burke to be Given
a Hearing This Afternoon.
This morning Daniel Hanlon sur-
rendered himself to the police, and a
hearing of the charges against him was
continued until this of crnoon
Yesterday afternoon William Slattery
and Richard Burke surrendered to the
'police and Judge Hubbell continued
their cases until this afternoon. Slat-
tery, it is understood, claims that he
was not drunk while the testimony pro-
duced at the trial of the Reynolds’ went
to show that he was not only drunk but
the instigator of the fracas at the River-
side avenue junction.
Hanlon has three cases already pend-
ing against him and Sunday night’s af-
fair makes the fourth. The outcome of
his trial will be looked forward to with
interest, as it is the general opinion
' that his case is constantly being post-
poned in Order to make a settlement.

_‘ icnvr BURCLARS.
Greens Farms Burglars Ap-
pear at Fenwick Hall.
Try to Lure the Watchman.
The 150 guests at Fenwrck Hall, Say-
brook, were terrorized at 1 o’clock
on the part of four desperadoes to take
possession of the hotel. The recent ho-
tel burglary' at Greens Farms where
the safe was cracked and about $2,000
in money and valuables carried away
was fresh in the mindsofthe frightened
New Yorkers, who make up nearly the
full register at the Hall and they had no
doubts of what the burglars would do if
they got the upper hand.
The night clerk and watchman, A. L.
Senton, was called to the front door
at the hour mentioned, by loud knock-
ing. He was'confronted by_two tough
looking characters who began talking
to him and tried to entice him out into
the open air. Young Senton proceeded
further until the men made known their
wants. They'tried further to get him
out on the lawn saying, “Come out
here. We won’t hurt you.” The
watchman then told the men to move
on or he would put a bullet through
them. With this the men separated,
onestepping back a few feet and the
other going to the corner of the build-
ing. ' From this point the second man
began to move towards the clerk, who
drew a revolver and threatened to shoot
if he came an inch ' nearer. Finding
themselves bafiied on' all sides the men
retired to the corner of the hall for con-
sultation and the watchman re-entered
the hotel. He immediately aroused the
manager, F. L. Harral, whose“ room . is
on an upper floor, and also six male em-
ployees of the house. All armed them-
selves with cudgels.
By this time'about 40 of the guests
had congregated on the first floor.
They discussed the situation and from
the two men reached the rear of the ho-
tel they were joined by two' other
members of the gang.
Sheriff Beckwith was notified and a
posse organized. Thehunt was an uu~
successful one on account of the heavy
fog which hung over the point. A
clear view could be had not further
than an eighth Of a mile. .
The entire proceedings of the credi-
ted burglars were viewed by one of the
guests from his window on the second
floor in the front of the house. This
guest says that he had concluded that
he would not allow the watchman to go
beyond the step without interfering
himself as he was convinced from the
first that the burglars were none others
than the Greens Farms, bandits, who
lured the watchman there to the end of
the wharf by lighting matches.
" BURNS-MURPHY.
A Happy Wedding at St.~Mary’s Church
This Morning.
St. Mary’s church was well filled this
morning. to witness the plighting of
the troths for weal or woe, and until
death do them part. of Mr. Peter F.
Burns, of the Boston Store, and Miss
Margaret E. Murphy, daughter of John
Murphy of Connecticut avenue. The
wedding was celebrated with a nuptial
mass, and it was altogether as pretty a
wedding as was ever held in the church.
~As the wedding march was being
played on the rich-toned organ, the
bridal party walked up the aisle and
were the cynosure of every eye in the
church.
The nuptial knot was securely tied
with much solemnity by Rev. Father
J. B. Daugherty, pastor of the church.
The bride was elegantly attired in a
rich silk gown of 'blue and brown, and
was indeed a handsbme bride.
The groom, too, came in for a share of
the attention paid the wedding party,
and bore his honors with becoming dig-
nity.
The bridesmaid, the bride’s sister,
Miss Anna Murphy, looked very pretty
in it becoming dress of blue silk.
The best man was P. F. Masterson,
the groom’s partner in the business con-
ducted by the BostonStore.
A wedding breakfast was served at
the home of the bride which was en-
joyed by a large number of their
friends. ‘
Mr. and Mrs. Burns left fer a wed-
ding trip in the east. The GAZETTE
wishes them a long continued honey-
moon, aud all happiness during their
life‘. - -

JOHN ADDISON snares, Editor:
In Sunday’s New York Herald, over
the signature of its New Haven corres-
pondent, “Trumbull,” generally un-
derstood to be Editor Osborn, of the
Register, we find the following in re-
gard to the contest for the gubernator-
ial nomination, now going on in this
state: ,
NOTES AND comments.
The contest for delegates to the Re-
publican State Convention goes on mer-
rily over the State. The race for the
gubernatorial nomination on the sur-
face is still confined to Lorrin A. Cooke,
of Winsted and John Addison Porter of
Pomfret. The 'fight has increased in
bitterness during the week, and an at-
tempt made to draw United States Sen-
ator Platt intothe fight. It‘ is indig-
=nantly denied that he is showing any
partiality; nevertheless, there is rea-
son to suspect that his sympathies
are with Mr. Porter, not necessarily
because he is more friendly to him than
to Mr. Cooke. but because he has got
it into his head, or is said to have it in
his head. that back ofthe Winsted man
stands the most determined and arbi-
trary machine the State ever saw. That
this machine is not solicitous ,of- the.
Senator’s'political health is too notori-
ous to make a deniat convincing.
In the matter of pledged votes Mr.
Cooke leads. That is conceded. But
it is also claimed that Porter has enough -
pledged votes to throw the key to the
situation into the hands of the unpledg-
ed and uncommuuicative members of
the Convention. It is certain that
Porter has not been treated with con-
sideration, and if the Convention once
gets it into its head that the machine is
pulling the reins too tight, a revolt may
come and land either the Pomfret cau-
didate or a dark horse in the saddle.
The politicians are watching the moves
on the board carefully, and enough of
them are keeping their counsel to them-
selves to bankrupt a prophet. Another
week will clear up things wonderfully-
“Sagacity and Loyalty Proved.
“Meantime, Republicans. are asking
themselves why would not Porter make
a strong candidate for Governor? He
is able, honest, couageous, and willing
to listen to advice. * * * His
friends insist that he has now served his
apprenticeship, has broved his sa-gacity
and loyalty, and, to top it all, possesses
the requisite ability. They do not fail
to remind one that he wears no man’s
collar, has a self acting mind and comes
from a family whose position in Cone
nectict history is among the public ben-
efactors. He is a young man and ‘no
quitler.’ ”—New York Herald; Conn.
Correspondence.
“Supported by Many Leaders.
“It has been supposed, in some'quar-
t'ers, that Mr. Porter had withdrawn
from the Gubernatorial race.‘ This is
denied by Mr. Porter’s most intimate
friends. * * * He is supported (for
the Governorship) by many influential
leaders in the State, and the young Re-
publicans are back of him almost to a
man, as they feel that they are entitled
to recognition and thatMr.Porterwould
make a brilliant and safe Governor of
this State.”—Litchfield Enquirer.
“Ability, Courage and Presence.

courage and presence for the office.—

let“ the Hartford Post.
This Herald’s Hartford correspondent
givetthe following comments on» the
samefii‘nteresting gubernatorial subject:
‘ NUTMEG POLITICS.
ColouelPorter has been busy for the
last _;'three years, but within the last
threemonths he has had his coat off.
Afkr his struggle of two years ago
for the, republican gubernatorial nomi-
nati ‘n Colonel Porter felt that things
would be his way in 1896. The appear~
ance. fLieutenant Governor Lorin A.
Cooke, of Barkhamstead, in the field,
however, upset the Colonel’s calcula-
tions; . _ .. '
/Col ‘nel Porter is making his fight
this car on the strength of the fact '
that ewasthe first Connecticut man
to b . m McKinley for- the Presidential~
nomination. Colonel Porter‘ worked
faithfully for the Ohio man, and he .is
not giving- anyone an opportunity to
forget this fact. He has established a
Well-arrangedpress bureau in Hart-
ford, which supplies the newspaper
ofiices of the State with campaign liter-
ature, the gist of which is to recall
Colonel Porter’sework for McKinley,
and to remind Connecticut that Pom-
fret, Colonel Porter’s summer home
and voting place, has nearly always in ,
times of close elections, turned the tide
in favor of the republican State ticket,
and, furthermore, that Pomfret has
never had a Governor, but that this
year she has, in Colonel Porter, a man
who fills the bill.
One of the most unfortunate incidents
of Colonel Porter’s campaign was the
coup d’etate of 'his enemies when they
prevented his election as a delegate to
the State Convention. It was naturally
a great deal of a surprise to Colonel
Porter’s friends to learn that the Col-
onel’s own townsmen had. refused to
indorse his candidacy. Colonel Porter
at once announced in his newspaper
that a snap caucus and other buuco
methods had been used to deprive him
of the election as delegate to the State ‘
Convention.
LOYALITY OF FRIENDS.
His friends, however, have stood by
the Colonel nobly. They hustled
around immediately after the convention
with a paper indorsing Colonel Porter
for the gubernatorial nomination, and
out of the 123 republican electors of
Pomfret secured the signatures of more
than eighty. The fact was promptly
announced and with boomerang effect
upon the Colonel's enemies, who had
turned him "down in the caucus.
The caucus by the way was an inter-
esting affair. It was called in such a
manner that few of Colonel Porter’s
friends had time to even get to it. I
am also told that scores of democrats
were called in to take part in the can-
cus, and assist in the vivisectiou of
ColOnel Porter. The fatter was greatly
gratified by the action of his friends in
' Pomfret. ‘
The Colonel says the campaign of his
enemies is based on misrepresentation,
and in addition to the Pomfret incident
cites a story in which it is claimed that
the New London delegation to the state _ ~
convention was solid against Porter.
The ‘next day, the Colonel says, he re-
ceived,a letter from one of’the New
London delegates saying three of the
New London men were for him, and
probably the fourth was. A similar
1 story was published aboutathe Water-
bury delegation, aud here again one of
the delegates wrote to Colonel Porter
' assuring him of the support of” three of
the four delegates.
The campaign in the republican party
for the first place on the State ticket is
nothing“ more or less than ’a struggle
between the young men and the old
machine of the_party. . ~ ‘ '

Tramway tracks at grade a short dis-
tance this side of the Burchard'ice
houses. It passes Hickory Blufi' a little

Her neck had been'broken but no
other injury was done. She was 32
years old.
Camping at Cockenoe.
Mr. George I. Buxton and. wife, of
Elmcrest, and the wife’s father, of New
Haven, are camping out on Cockenoe’s
island, as are some dozen others. The
old spring of pure, cold, sweet water,
years ago so notable on that far out and
prominent island, has been restored
from the brackishness caused by a se-
vere and heavy north-east storm that
swept the island some dozen years ago,
and as was supposed, had permanently
greatly enjoyed the luxury of the spark-
ling beverage. The Buxton party will
have been there three weeks on the
comingSaturdav, when they expect to
break camp and return home.

Fourth Regiment Criticised.
The Fourth suffers by reason of hav-
ing two field officers who have long
since fully earned a rest from all mili-
tary duty. Were two young live offi-
cers in these positons some of the bur-
dens might be taken from Col. Frost’s
hands. The regiment is also at a dis-
advantage in having a non-resident ad-
jutant, an officer who should always be
near the hand of the colonel. There
are one or two weak companies in the
regiment which must be a drag upon
the colouel.—-Hartford Courant.
