President McKinley Starts on
a Short Vacation Down
the Potomac.

His Length of Stay Depends Upon the

Weather.

GAZETTE’S BUREAU, ‘ )
709 EAST GAPITOL STREET, r
WASHINGTON, APRIL 7. l

-DEAR sznrrnz—One of the first
official acts of the President toiday was
to send his flood message to Cengress.
He would have left Washington yester-
da‘y afterooon but for this message. It
was but two hours after Congress re-
ceived the message that the legislation
asked for, had been granted and the
resolution appropriating $200,000 for
flood sufferers was in the hands of the
President for his signature.-

- ., o o 0

Immediately alter the President

signed the resolution he joined Mrs.

. McKinley, Secretary and Mrs. Porter,

Dr. and Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Saxton, and
Mrs. McKinley’s maid, and the party
was driven to the navy yard, where
they boarded the tugboat Triton, which
took them to Alexandria, where they
boarded the dispatch boat Dolphin and
started for a few days’ cruise down the
Potomac.
o o ‘ o
This is the first time since last sum—
mer that the President has had a few
'days’ vacation. ‘ Since the St. Louis
convention and the opening of the cam—
paign he has had no time for a junket
of any sort, and the only thing that ap-
proached‘a vacation was when he vis—
ited Senator Hanna in Cleveland a few
times, and again when he stayed with a
friend in Chicago for forty—eight hours
or so.
0 o o
The length of the President’s stay is
problematical, and everything depends
on the state of the weather. Nice,
bright spring weather insures his re—
maining away from- Washington until
Sunday or Monday. Cloudy and
threatening " weather will bring the
President to Washington within forty—
eight hours.

The Democratic Senators held a can-
cus this afternoon to consider the sub—
ject of filling the committee vacancies.
No conclusion was reached, although
the new Senators urged that something
*be done so that they might be assigned
to committees. The caucus decided to

' wait until the Republicans submitted

their plan to Mr. Gorman, Chairman of
the Democratic Steering Committee.

The sub-committee of the Senate fi-

I New Trout Law.

The new trout law rrcently passed ly
the General” Asicmbly prohibits trout
fishing except in private streams and
ponds, in the town of New Canaan,
Darien. Stamford and Greenwich, un-
til 1900, and provides a fine of not mOie
than $20.

The term “private stream” does not
apply to the branches of any stream
stocked by the State, so that it is m.-
lawful to fish for brook trout on the
Five Mile, Noroton, Rippowam or Mi-

. anus rivers or any of their branches.

The fish wardens lately appointed for
these towns will be on the alert for the
detection of violations of the new law.

WIGKEDL_Y_STABBED.

Two Italians Meet on Wood
Street and Exchange}
Compliments.

One of Them Badly Cut About the Face.

A warrant was placed in the hands of
Constable Goodwin- this morning, for
thesarrest of Dominio Foire who was
charged with having stabbed a brother
Italian ‘named Sabado Com

The two had some differences on
Wood street last evening, and became
engaged in a fight in which knives
played no'unimportant part. .

The fight fortunately, or unfortunate-
ly, as you may choose to think, did not
result fatally to either of the combat-
ants, but it was very much in evidence
that Sabado had the worst of it.

He showed three ugly cuts about his
face and neck, one of which on his neck
was liable to have proved fatal, as was'
perhaps the intent of the man who did
the stabbing.

Rews of this nature have become so
freguent on Wood street that it has
gained the name of “murderers row.”

Foire was placed under arrest.

Selectmen Sue an Aged Woman to Recover
Cost of Her Support.

 

The selectmen of the town of Middle-
town have brought suit against Mrs.
Ellen Whitely, aged 50 years, to recov-
er $300.

For many years she has been sup~
parted by‘the town upon the plea of
poverty. '

A week ago Mrs. Mary Wyman, a
daughter, living in Hartford, applied
in the probate court of Middletown for
a conservator over her mother and up-
on investigation it was discov'ered that
Mrs. Whitely owned property valued at
$1.500. Consequently the suit.

The case is returnable to the Super-
ior court in May.

Penalty for Stealing Bicycles

H. T. King of Meriden, secretary of
the Connecticut Federation of Cyclists,
Senaior Marigold of Bridgeport and
Samuel .P. Calef of Middletown, \fav—
ored before the committee, on the
judiciary in Hartford yesterday, the
recommitted bill providing a state
prison sentence for the stealing of bicy-
cles.“ Mr. King filed with the commit-
tee an amendment providing a fine of
$50 for boys who steal bicycles.

Drunken Bicyclists.

Two N'orwalk wheelmen rode to
Stamford last night, and while here in-
dulged too freely in Pacific street bev-
erage. They were unable to under-
take the return journey, and after
several ineffectual attempts to mount
their wheels, they sought a local board-
ing-house. One of their wheels was
found to be badly damaged this morn-
lug—Advocate.

 

Q0

Broad Minded Clergy.

When the Roman Catholic church in
Portsmouth, Va., burned down the
other day, the Baptist and the. Method-
ist churches of the city. offered the
homeless congregation the free use of
their chapels until it "could provide it-
self with another edifice, and three
Methodist and one Episcopal clergy-
men called personally .on the priest to
express their sympathy with him and
his people. ' ,

Fisticutfs.

A large crowd was attracted on Main
street last night caused by a fight be-
tween two men ’named Hussey and
Lynch, in a saloon on that street. The
fight was a lively one while it lasted!
but the proprietor of the saloon “took
a hand in it ” and soon had the combat-
ants separated. Honors were said to
‘have been even-as between the two.

HER PAPMLBJECTED.

Lizzie Jones, of New Canaan,

Wanted to tea Baptist '.

But Mr. Jones Called Upon the Parson
With ' a Constable.

 

The gossips of New Canaan have been
engaged ‘for the last day or two in
magnifying into the biggest kind of a
sensation an incident in which Rev. J.
B. Rittgers, the new pastor of the Bap-
tist church. and Robert Jones, a_Sum-
mer streetshoemaker, are the central
figures, other - parties to the comedy-.
drama being Shoemaker Jones’ fifteen-
year-old daughter, Grand Juror Bene-
dict and Constable Raymond. The
most tragic feature of the story, as told
by the wicked gossips, that the shoe-
maker was hunting the parson with a
gun, rests upon a very flimsy founda-
tion.

The Joneses are Roman Catholics,
but Lizzie, who was for a short time
employed in the household of the Bap-
tist parson, is said to have been attract-
ed towards that church, its Sunday-
school and its social diversions, and ex-
pressed a desire to become a member

of the flock. Papa Jones didn’tlike“

that idea at all, and determined that
Lizzie should not become a Baptist
while he was able to control her move-
ments. Nevertheless, she prepared to
be immersed at a service in the Baptist
church last Sunday night. Her parents
kept her indoors, but she eluded their
vigilance and went to the church. She
did not get there until the regular ser-
vice was over, and, it is said, persuaded
the clergyman to administer the rite of
baptism then.

Papa Jones went out to look for Liz-
zie and turned his steps towards the
parson’s house.
responded to with the statement that
Lizzie was not in the parsonage. He
thought she was, and enlisted the ser-
vices of Constable Samuel Raymond to
recover the ’ young woman.
again visited the house, this time in
company with the min‘ion of the law,
the girl was produced and was taken
home. It was stated that she was not
there when Jones first called—Pa state-
ment the truth of which there is no-rea-
son to doubt.

The story about threats to injure the
pastor seems to have grown out of an
alleged statement, by Jones, that, had
he known, the minister intended to bap-
tize Lizzie, he shouldhave been tempt
ed to shoot the poster. Jones, in con-
versation with friends, said he had no
desire to do the clergyman any bodily
injury, but made naiattempt to conceal
his indignation because the child had
been baptized. Grand Juror Benedict,
conservator of the peace of New Canaan,
investigated the story about the alleg-
ed threats. and did not find enough in
them to justify a criminal proceeding
against Jones.

Friends of the parsou declare that the
latter can in no way be held blamable.
They say Lizzie was old enough to join
the church, and knowing nothing of
the opposition of her family, he could
not be expected to see anything'wrong
in baptizing her aft-er being requested
80 to do and being satisfied that she
was a proper candidate to receive the
rite. - '

New Canaanites are speculating now
as to what the outcome will be, but no
new developments are likely to grow
out of the affair. , ’

 

New Motorman was in Charge.

A delegation from the Stamford
Woman’s Relief Corps attended a. barn
sociable given by Mrs. Hobby at Darien
last Monday night and had a rather ex-

citing time upon the return journey.
The motorman of. the‘ Norwalk Tram-‘

way car, upon which the party was re-
turning, proved to be a new band. He
lost control of his car, which bowled
along at a lively, rate. When but a short
distance from’thelterminus at the Nore-
ton river bridge the car jumped the
track, and for a few moment} there was

considerable apprehension felt lest it.

should run into the river. It did not
however, and the party aboard were
greatly relicved.——Advocate.

“Eddie Lynch” Beats Two

Into Insensibility After

a Savage Fight. '

‘ 9‘
Charged With Beating His Wife and As-
saulting the Police.

An old feud between the New York
police of the East Side, and “ Eddie ”
Lynch, well known here in Noflralk,
who formerly kept a. resort in Bayard
street, was revived yesterday morning
by a bloody cenflict in the hallway of
No. 5 Delancey street, and on the side-
walk. . -

Lynch was beaten. into insensibility,
and Policemen'Mallon and Dody re-
ceived many blows with their own
clubs. which Lynch took away from
them. ' ‘i

The cries of a woman in the house
were the ,excuse for a renewal of hostil-
ites on the part of the police. Lynch,
who had shamefully beaten his wife,
was met in the hallway by Policeman
Mallon, who had run up on hearing the
woman’s screams. A terrific struggle
ensued. Mellon blew his whistle for
‘help. When Policeman Dody - arrived:
Lynch had thrown Mallon to the floor
and wrested his club from him. The
fight was continued on the sidewalk
for twenty minutes before Lynch was
overcome.

In' Essrx Market Court “Eddie ”
was held for trial on the doublecharge
of beating his wife and assaulting the
police. _'
