Thursday’s Pageant Wifl Exceed Anything Ever Before Seen in Washington. GAzETTa’s BUREAU, ' 1 709 EAST CAPITOL STREET, , WASHINGTON, FEB. 26 DEAR GAZETTE—Yesterday afternoon the Senate was suddenly electrified with a tremendous explosion of patriotism by an interjection of the Cuban ques- tion. It at the very close of the session swept aside the important appropria- tion bills for an instant in consideration of the graver question of the protection of American citizens imprisoned in Cuba. As Senator Frye, standing in the cen- ter of the arena of the Senate chamber, exclaimed in impassioned tones that if Spain did not deliver up our citizens held in Cuban prisons, he would send a warship to Havana to force their liber- ation, a tumultuous wave of applause swept over the crowded galleries, and for several minutes the presiding officer was powerless to quell the popular de- monstration. This was only one of the many thrilling episodes of the eventful session. », x o o o ' The House is ahead of the Senate in its action on the annual appropriation bills and so is drifting lazily along to the sessions end. . »» .b o o 0 Gen. Porter, Chief Marshall of the Inaugural parade, predicts that next Thursday ’s, pageant will exceed any- thing ever before seen in Washington. 0 o o The D. A. Rs. still monopolize a large share of public attention. Last night the Connecticut members of the patriotic association were given a grand reception at the Washington Woman’s Club Association by the ladies of our Congressional delegation, as heretofore stated in this correspondence, at which, a large and select company was assem- bled. The Congressional ladies were assisted in receiving by the Misses Doliver of Iowa,‘ Hillborn of‘Cala, Nichols of N. Y., Bessie Durant, of Bethel Conn, Preston of Hartford. Kernan of Mystic, Julia Hill of Dan- bury, Clara Hill of Norwalk and her ‘ sister Mrs. Weed, now a resident in this city. Among those present, were our two Senators and four Congressmen, Ex- Gov. Coffin and wife, Mrs. Albert S. Comstock of New Canaan. Mrs. and Miss Ferry, General and Mrs. Charles Olmstead and the full Norwalk delega- tion to the Congress, ect. A bountiful collation was served and a most de- lightful social evening enjoyed. o o o ‘ Congressman Sperry has secured an addition to the appropriation for light stations of $25,000 for the New Haven harbor light. 0 o o Ex-Quecn Liliuokalani welcomed over 200 guests to he 1' apartments yes- terday, among them, MI 5 Milo H. Par- sons of “Brookside.” -——————-—.oo~ New Time Table. A new time table will go into effect on the. Street Railwayflline next Mon- day. By the new arrangements there will not be so many cars run to Winni- pauk between the hours of 8 and 4 o’clock as at present but those in the busiest» part of the traffic, mornings and evemngs, will be run at closer in- tervals. Care will be run at 30 minute intervals as far as North avenue all day. The cars on the main line will run at intervals of 10 minutes. There is also a change in the working time of the crews, so that each man wit work but six days at week.

Norwalk, Conn, Saturday Evening, February 27, 1897. 0110831110 ACCIDENT- Edward Gilbert Struck by a Locomotive and Seriously Injured. Taken to the Norwalk Hospital. Edward Gilbert in the employ pf Butcher A. Avison while driv1ng over the railroad crossing near the Fair Grounds between 1 and 2 o’clock this afternoon, in his butcher wagon was struck by a locomotive and received what may prove to be fatal injuries. He apparently failed to hear the warning whistle of the locomotive as it was speeding to this city and the engine crashed into the wagon breaking it into splinters and hurling the driver out among the wreckage. The train was stopped as quickly as possible and the train hands went back and picking the wounded man up placed him in a car and brought him to the depot, where he was laid on a stretcher in the waiting room. Medical aid was summoned Dr. A. H. Baldwin being the first to arrive. He made an examination and found that Gilbert had sustained a fracture to his left leg, but did not continue his ex- amination further leaving that until the victim, who was conscious of what was going on about him should betaken to the hospital. It is feared that he has suffered injury to his spine, and may have received internal injuries. The ambulance was summoned and the patient taken to the hospital where he is under treatment. He has a wife and family and lives on Fair street. The horse managed to kick himself free from the wreck and escaped unin- jured. ' -o'—p—.——-————- TWO DIVORGES GRANTED. Albert Angev'me and Sarah Maudlin Freed by Judge Wheeler From Unworthy Partners.- Judge Ralph Wheeler granted two divorces yesterday afternoon. The first case was that of Albert Angevine against Ida J. Angevine. The plaintiff isa resident of Bridgeport. The de- fendant at present resides in N at? York city. The couple were married April 5, 1878. They lived together rather un- happily until April 30, 1893, when the wife deserted her better half and has since that time remained indifferent to attempts at reconciliation or any other overtures. After listening to several witnesses Judge Wheeler granted the decree. ' A Wilton case next came to the. atten- tion of the court, Harry Maudlin of that town took unto himself a young and handsome wife. Harry, however, was fickle and after a few months of wedded life be tired of his bride. The wife tried to win back the recreant husband but he would not be wooed, and he would not be won. So in .order to end the matter Sarah Maudlin, the wife'de- cided to obtain a decree of divorce. She was successful in her quest. In the case of Smith against Smith, Judge Wheeler reserved decision until such a time as he could look over a number of letters submitted as "evidence. .0 An Unqualified Falsehood.

They Begged For Mercy in the Superior Court Yesterday. The Managers Forfeit their Bonds. When the Superior Court convened yesterday morning. the pool room gam— blers who were surrendered by their bondsmen,Lee and McDevitt and who had passed the night in jail, were bedrag. gled and discouraged . They had spent the night in the hope that a way out of their difficulties would be found. When they discovered that their was no escape from punishment, and that their sen- tences would probably include a term in jail, they showed by their looks, speech and behavior, how desperate they had become. Abrams and Mahler, two of the men for whom John H. Lee became surety in the sum of $3,000 each. and whose absence was conspicuous the first day, did not appear. Their failure to ap- pear was explained upon plausible g'rounds,but the rumor was spread that they proposed to leave their bondsmau in the lurch, and that Mr. Lee had taken measures to secure their arrest. Mr. Lee was not in court either, and it was said he was looking for the tru- ants. The jaded Sports in the prisoners’ pen looked still more unhappy when these items of news were communicated to. them. The story came up from Stamford that Manager Kent had fled to Canada in order to escape punish- ment. When the raid was made in Stamford, a sport employed in one of the pool rooms evaded the detectives. He is Charles Kropp of Bridgeport. and since then hasbeen telling how smart he was. He entered the Court-room yesterday, and soon his air of bravado disappeared. Sheriff Hawley marched up to him with a bench warrant and he was soon with his companions in the prisoner’s pen. The court waited some time for Plun- kett, whose trial began Thursday after- He evi- dently had had all he wanted. He was seen boarding a train for New York, after aconference in Stamford. It is supposed that his backers will settle with Bondsman Lee and that Plunkett will in the future steer clear of Connec- ticut. When it was concluded that Plunkett would surely not materialize, State’s Attorney Fessenlden proposed to pro- ceed to the trial of Manager Kent. When he did not respond to his name there was talk of calling his bond too, Chief Justice Andrews decided to give him a little more time. . At this point the sports in the prlS' oners’ pen weakened and concluded to throw themselves upon the mercy of the court. One by one they pleaded guilty and went to the witness-chair, when they confessed their connection with the pool-rooms in Stamford and Greenwich, as operators, writers, mark- ers, cashiers, etc. They were a seared crowd. but each of them had a story to tell which he hoped would soften the feeling of the court. Some of them had widowed mothers, or were the sole support of aged and helpless par- ents. Others had wives and children weeping for'them wh1le they lingered in a dungeon cell. All of them claimed they ,had been a’ssured ' by eminent lawyers that the business in which they were engaged was not unlawful. The first called up for sentence was William Smith, a big fellow and a typi- cal sport. He wasa clerk behind the desk and received telegrams which were supposed to transfer money to the Chief Justice Andrews to spend one year in jail. This was at 1 p. m. The jaws of the other prisoners dropped. The sentence staggered them. off with a fine, and some of them knew where they could get money. When court re- -opened in the after- noon a change in the aspect of affairs happened. A lone: consultation was held by Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Judson and Judge Curtis during the noon hour. As a result, the sentence of a year in jail was. recalled in the case of Smith, and a fine of $500 imposed in the place of the $100 fine.‘ Although the fine was a heavy one the prisoners instantly looked relieved. The jail sentence» was what had worried them. The fines inflicted were: John Wil- son, William Smith, W. J. Mulligan, Robert Banker, J. A. Beebe, George Lawrence, Frank Carter and T. F. Foley, 3500; Samuel Gaylor, Richard Rich, Isadore Cohen and J. W. Ale phonso, 3250; Charles Kropp, 8300. The men were taken to the jail when court adjourned. Ten of them were not destined to stay very long in that institution. Before 6 o’clock, -a well dressed man called on Sheriff Harley They hoped to getu Hoyt& and expressed a desire to pay the fines ofnGeorge Lawrence, William Smith, Robert Banker, J. A. Beebe, Emanuel Cohen, T. F. Foley, Richard Rich, W. J. Mulligan, William English andJ. W. Alphonso. - The aggregate fines of the ten men, together with the costs in each case, $30. 30, was a few dollars short of $5,000. This amount -was paid and Sheriff Hawley releaesd the men. The remaining prisoners will probably have their fines paid to day. Besides this sum, the state will re- ceive nearly $2 .000 more to- day for the release of the remaining five prisoners. To be added to this is the forfeited bond ' of Plunkett and the forfeited bonds of Charles Kent, H. Mahler and David Abrams. Mr. Lee has been as- sured that if he prodfihes the two men in court next Tuesday morning that the matter will be all right. After that time he will'be compelled to lose the amount of the bonds, $6,000. Charles Kent is another of the missing ones. It ' is rumored that he has skipped to Can- ada. John McDevitt, of Stamford, would like to know ‘of Kent’s where' abouts, at least he says he does, for McDevitt qualified as bondsman for him.» The four forfelted bonds and the fines bring the grand total up to $19,- 000. This will all come out of the back- ers of the pool rooms. Next Tuesday another phase of the business will be considered. It Will be remembered that upon the day follow- ing the big raid in Stamford, John H. Lee, John McDevitt and three other Greenwich and Stamford men were arrested on bench warrants and relea s- ed on bonds of 83,000 at the special session of the Superior court, called to consider the cases. The men were the owners of the building occupied by the pool rooms. They were charged with renting property and buildings for illegal use. will probably be tried first. The five men intend to make a strong fight for acquittal. - The Pet Calls the Kettle Black. The following article appeared under the head of “Lying Newspapers,” in this morning’s Hour. Those who are acquainted with the writer and the “new jovrnalism” re- cently inaugurated on Isaacs street will certainly appreciate the old saying, ‘ The Pet calls the Kettle black. ’ “A few days ago, almost the entire first page of the New York Journal was filled with a picture of Senator Sher- man, and with what was characterized as an “authorized" report of what the Senator had said. That same day, Senator Sherman de- clared that no such interview with him had taken place. He had been called upon by a . reporter, but had refused to talk on the matter, and the reporter had not remained more than a minute. Then, newspaper in hand, the Sena- tor pointed to the lines printed in bold face type, to emphasize the language, and declared each and every paragraph to be entirely false. It appears that, in the hot race for sensations, the Journal follows the World in inventing news, and in the manufacture of dispatches from promi- nent persons. The two newspapers (?) have reached atpomt where nothing that appears in either of them can be believed, because, if either does print the truth, it is im- posmble to separate it from the mass of falsehood.” COD— M’Girr and Webster. Fred M’Gir‘r, of Bridgeport, on Thursday night signed articles to meet Lew Webster, of Waterbury, in a 10- round go before the Bohemian Athletic club, of Meriden. on Thursday evening, March 25, for a purse of'3125, of which the winner is to receive $100 and the loser $25.
