Store, Saturday evening, she having the

‘_POLIBEJ]_‘MOVE.

Councilman Kent Recommends
the RemovalPolice Head~
quarters.

To Have Steel Cells Erected for Prisoners

An adjourned meeting of the City
Council was held last evening, the
only chair vacant, being that of Coun-
cilman Chinery. It was 8:30 o’clock
when the Mayor called the board to
order and the transaction of business
was commenced.

It was a session, as after events will,

prove, of more than ordinary interest.

A The more important matters‘were those

combined in the recommendations of
the committee in reference to the
widening of Wall street and the sug;
gestions of the police committee in
reference to a change of the police
headquarters.

The ordinary grist of bills were or-
dered paid, aggregating something less
than $1,000. ,

A petition for a fire alarm at the cOr-
ner Of Orchard street and HarbOr ave-
nue was received, read and referred to
the fire .lcommittee.

Thomas Hyde was granted permission
to erect a frame building on Wilton ave-
nue.

The resignation of Ex-Mayor James
T. Hubbell as a member of the board
of library directors .was received and
accepted. The Mayor announced that
he would announce Mr. Hubbell’s suc-
cessor, at a future meeting, of the Coun-
cil.

A communication from the board of
health containing a request that atten—
tion be paid to certain matters regard-
ing plumbing and drainage, was re-
ferred to the highway and sewer com-
mittees.

A report of the committee appointed
in reference to the widening of Wall
street was read and the clerk of the
board instructed to have an order
of a hearing of those interested pub-
lished. [The full text of the report will
be found in another column] The date
of such hearing will be May 31st, in the
Council room.

The committee appointed to purchase
a new hook and ladder truck, in accord
with a vote passed at a city meeting,
recommended the purchase of an Sea-
grave truck, after having examined sev-
eral others. The new truck will include a
truss ladder, and will when “freighted”
for work weigh about 3,100. The
committee alSO recommended the ex-
penditure of about $300 for extras in
connection with the original price of
the truck.

Councilman Kent spoke of the desir-
ability Of a change in the present police
headquarters to the end that there
might be a place where the police
headquarters and the station-house
might not be so widely separated, called
attention to the fact that the present
station-house on Smith street was far
from being a fit place in which to place

prisoners and was also a menace to an

officer who lodged a prisoner there
after dark. He suggested that the Ofii-
ces in-the James building soon to be
vacated by ex-VIa-yor Hubbell, be util-
ized both as police headquarters and
a temporary jail.
which called for the placing of one or
more cages in the building, lockers,
and meeting-room for the police force,
and gave as a rough estimate an ex-
penditure that would not be in excess
of $300. He said that such a move
wOuld, he believed, add to the efficiency
of the police force, and. at the same
time give their prisoners fit quarters
in which to be lodged.

On motion of Councilman Smith, Mr.

Kent was instructed to carry out his
recommendations and order the neces-.
sary cages, which it was explained

could easily be transferred to any
building if occasion might require.
This move, Mr. Kent previously
stated, would in no wise exclude the
use of the present station house, or the
fare of the prisoners, as ‘in the past,
provided for by the town.

Progress was reported in the matter
of the grading of Cross street.

The chairman of the finance commit-
tee was authorized to borrow $1,000 on
the credit of the city.

A petition for a crosswalk on East
avenue, the petitioner agreeing to fur-
nish the material needed in the con-
struction of the same, was referred to
the highway committee with power.

Councilman Tristram reported that
the new street light on Lynes’ place

’ was giving excellent satisfaction and

that the new steam fire alarm whistle

(will ._soon reach the Electric light

station and be on duty to awake fire-
men, echoes, etc.

Daisy Rimmed to David
Tichenor Last July.

The Annoimcement Made in .Newark on
Sunday Last.

Curiosity was excited in Newark On
Sunday by the. announcement of the
marriage on July 4, 1896, at Easton,
Pa., of 'David Hedden Tichenor and
Miss Daisy Beatty Bird, both of New-
ark. David H. Tichenor is the son of
George W. Tichenor, a real estate
agent, and is aSsociated with‘ his father
in business. He is about 25 years old
and has an extensive circle of acquaint-
ances. Miss Bird is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Bird, who for-
merly lived on Union Park, this city.
She is weil known in town and has a
large circle of friends who will be sur-
prised to learn of her marriage.

George W. Tichenor said yesterday
that both families had known of the
secret marriage fer several months,
and that the announcement was made
on Sunday merely because the young
couple had gone to housekeeping. He
said that about a year ago he bought a
hardware store in Hackettstown and
put his son in charge. On the Fourth
of July, Daisy and her mother and
grandmother paid a viSit to Hacketts-
town and went from there to EastOn to
see the celebration. While there David
and Daisy, who had been engaged for
some time, slipped away from the old
folks and were married by a minister.
They kept the matter quiet for a long
while because David H- Tichenor hesi-
tated about telling his father what he
had done, and wanted to wait until he
was independent enough to support his
wife without his father’s aid. George
XV. Tichenor -said yesterday that his
son acted foolishly in not telling him
before or immediately after the mar-
riage, but that the marriage met with“
the entire approbation of both fami-
lies.

MURDER flWHAT?

Mrs. Radford’s 'Syudden Death
in New York City Arouses J
Suspicion.

The Couple Who Came Here Last Year in a

Team From Maine.

Nearly a year ago the GAZETTE re-
corded the arrival in this city of a man
named Radford, accompanied by his
wife, in a wagon, by which they claimed
they were traveling to a place in Illi-'
nois. The cbuple stopped here for sev-
eral hours and their quaint rig attract-
ed much attention. The woman was
about 30 years of age and the man
much older. They left ostensibly to
resume their long journey.

The couple are brought to notice
again by a despatch from New York
recording the sudden and mysterious
death of Mrs. Elizabeth Radford; She
was found dead in her bed in a room at
20 Batavia street, New York, where
she was stopping with her husband,
having just arrived, he said, from

Radford was placed under ,arrest, as
there seemed to be suspicious circum-
stances in connection with the death of
the woman.

In his statement Radford says that
he went out about 7 a. m. yesterday,
and when he returned he found his
wife dead on the bed. A neighbor
says She saw him come in about 8'
o’clock. .

The detectives found twenty empty
bottles in Radford’s room and a letter
in his pocket from a Philadelphia drug
store saying that they do not care to
sell sulphate of morphine except to
druggists and then not in smaller
quantities than 20 pounds; Radford
says his wife was a morphine eater.
Radford further stated that they came
from Springfield, 111., about a year ago
and went to Maine. Then they re-
turned by wagon as far as Bridgeport,

New York by .boat, since then they
have been traveling about and only re-
turned there lately. The police are
still investigating the case.

Broker Elverton R. Chapman, of New

furnished apartments at the Arlington.
To-night he will sleep in an iron-barred
cell at the District jail. This is because
Mr. Chapman refused to answer ques-

committee. He will undoubtedly be a
model prisoner and will get five days

prisonment in twenty-five days.

There arrived at the same time with

GOT THE PICKPODKET.

Several Women in Bridgeport Knocked
Down During a Street Struggle.

A crowd assembled at the corner of
Main and Cannon streets Bridgeport,
yesterday morning to see the Wild
West parade, and Detective Butler,
who follows the Show, recognized a
man whom he had arrested as a pick-
pocket at BenningtOn, Vt., several
years ago. The man was crowdingi in
among people and had stopped near 'an
elderly, well-dressed man, when Butler
approached him andtook hold of him.
The man resisted and broke away and -
ran into the crowd. Butler was"
knocked down and called for b’help.
George Carter, a painter, grabbed the
escaping man, and while a lively fight
was going on between them James
Feeley, who keeps a store near by, took
a hand in. the affair and endeavored to
keep‘ Carter away from the pickpocket.
The struggle between the three men
caused great excitement. Several wo-
men were knocked do‘Wn, and some of
them were severely bruised by being ’
trampled upon. -

The suspected pickpocket would
probably have escaped had not Deputy
Sheriff Heisler happened on the Scene.
He placed the men under arrest, and '
explained to Mr. Feeley'the true state
of affairs. At. Police Headquarters'the- ‘ .
man was identified as a, pickpocket '

 

Steele, West'Winsted; Mrs. Mary Par-
sons, West Winsted.

named Kelley. Hehas a record, and .
@ad been arrested several, times. '
