Annual Commencement Exer-
cises at Miss Baird’s
Institute.
. A Large Number of the Friends and Rela-
tives of the Students Present.
The large commencement room 'of
Miss Baird’s Institute was filled to
overflowing last evening with friends
and relatives of the Graduating Class
of ’97.
The spacious room was decorated
with daisies, and the electric lights
were covered with yellow trimmings,
shedding a mellow light that was most
pleasing to the eye.
The graduates numbered three and
were the Misses: Vera Imogene Ather-
ton, Lillian Levy and Rose Marie N ew-
comb. '
The program, which had been taste-
fully arranged was presented as follows:

The essays were all model composi-
tions and showed that the graduates
had studied carefully their several sub-
jects.
Other numbers on the program de-
serving special mention were the se—
1ections by the School Glee club and
Miss Florence Esther Myers, the latter
being notably fine. Miss Myers is the
music teacher at the Institute and is a
most skillful and talented young lady.
She will be at the Institute next year
as will all of this year’s faculty.
During the evening refreshments
were served and the whole evening
was as brilliant a success as are all the
entertainments at M. B. I.
Miss Baird was obliged to add to her
grounds and buildings last year on ac-
count of the rapidly increasing num-
bers of her students. The outlook is
that she will be called upon to accom-
modate even a larger number next
year.
Most of the students left this morn-
ing for their several homes scattered
throughout the country. Surely, Nor-
walk should be proud of Miss Baird’s
Institute.

Spruced Up.
The Washington Post is responsible
for the following;
Senator Platt of Connecticut, has
spruced up wonderfully since his mar-
riage. He used to be quite independ-
ent in the matter of dress. Trousers
might be baggy, coat might fit badly, A
necktie might be awry—it Was all the
same to Platt. Now all is changed.
Platt is rejuvenated, new editioned.
He trips lightly to the Capitol with
smilin face, when heretofore he was
the w king epitome of gruesome indi-
gestion. His hair is cut and barbered
with daily care, his shoes are always
shining, and on his hat no fleck of dust
is allowed to rest. Even his trousers
are creased and—most startling of all—
he has donned a necktie which vies
saith Joseph’s coat in all its brilliant
ues.

Judge Andrew Selleck’s Case.
In the common pleas court, civil side,
yesterday, the suit of Marsh, Merwin &
Lemmon vs. Andrew Selleck of Strat-
ford, to recover $1,600, was on trial.
The action is the result of business re-
lations between the defendant and his
son-in-law, W. W. Keys.’ The latter
was engaged in business inStratford,
and had the plaintiff endorse checks
for him at various times. When he re-
quired more money than the checks
called for, it is said he took the liberty
to affix his father-in-law’s endorsement
on the inotes without permission.
These notes were discounted by the
plaintiffs, and when they’matured the
defendant declined to honor them, pro-
nouncing them forgeries. The present
' action is the result. Keys fled from
Stratford about two years ago.

EVIDENEEJTLL IN. '
And Fuda’s Fate Will Probably
be Determined To-Day.
Attorney Cuneo Holds That Fuda Was a
_ Victim of lmapassino’s Craftiness.
Guiseppi Fuda the man now before
the superior court, charged with one of
the most brutal murders that has ever
been chronicled in the annals of crime
in this state and who has been on trial
for the past three weeks will probably
know his fate to-day.
The case has attracted widespread
attention from the nature of the de-
fense submitted. It is in reality that
Fuda was the innocent victim of a de-
signing, murderous and vindictive fel-
low countryman and that while he may
have led his wife off to a lonely spot in
East Norwalk to hear extorted from
her lips a confession of her infidelities,
he never intended to kill her, but was
implicated by the peculiar situation of
affairs, he having been present and a
witness when the deed was committed.
The defense claimed that Fuda was
simply a tool in the hands of Imapassino
who to revenge himself on Mrs. Fuda
because he had fell from favor with
her after being on terms of intimacy,
plotted and carried out the murder and
drew the husband into the crime. The
state, however, declares that Fuda
knew of the murderous intentions of
Imapassino and played his part in the
affair by leading his wife to the seclud~
ed spot where the crime was committed.
The state says that he is as guilty as
Imapassino and that he should suffer
the death penalty for the crime.
The evidence yesterday was confined
to the rebuttal and covered almost all
that has heretofore been printed.
Attorney Judson endeavored to have
strickened from the records all the so-
called confession made by Fuda to
Donatel, , on the ground that it was
ANARliE_8_T_ MADE.
Greenwich Authorities Think
They Have the Mysterious
Man I“lo,e._” ‘
Found Hidden in a Barn in Stamford.
The Greenwich authorities think
that they have at last accomplished
something in the Long murder case.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriffs
Fitzroy and Miller arrested, in a barn
in Stamford, a man answering to the
description of “Joe,” the mysterious
man in the murder, and the one who
is supposed to have done the shooting.
The arrested man was in hiding.
Several of the young men who saw
the Long boy and his companions on
the night of the murder say that the
man is “Joe.” Others are as positive
that he is not. The police will not
give out the man’s name. All they will
say is that he states that he belongs in
Adams, New York, and has been farm-
ing for three months in Stamford. On
the night previous to the one during
which the murder was accomplished,
he had driven a horse, belonging to his
employer, to death. He was afraid of
the consequences of his act and so took
“French leave.” When he was ar-
rested he supposed it was for the death
of the horse. '
The man exhibited great surprise
when informed of the reasons for his
arrest and immediately commenced to
cry his innocence. He could prove an
alibi he said, for on the night of the
murder he was far away from the scene.
The authorities will have but little
to say regarding the arrest. It is to be
inferred by their manner that the man
arrested is connected with the murder
in an important way. The description
of “Joe” accords well with the man
from Adams. He is five feet, six inches
in height, of medium build, and is fair-
ly well dressed. His clothes are all

would not exclude the testimony.
When the COurt session was resumed
yesterday afternoon counsel had decid-
ed with the court upon the time limit
or the arguments. Ass1stant States
Attorney Carter opened with a brief
review of the testimony offered in the
case and the day’s session was conclud-
ed with the arguments presented by
Attorney John J. Cuneo, the junior
counsel for the defense. The young
attorney did remarkably well under the
circumstances and the large assembly
of lawyers present admitted that the
argument Offered would have been
creditable to eVen an older and more
experienced member of the bar. It
was the first time in the legal experi-
ence of the young attorney that he had
addressed a jury under such trying cir-
cumstances and he asked for their in-
dulgence.
The attorney closed by thanking the
jury for the attention they had given
him and an adjournment was ordered
until this morning, when Attorney
Judson will conclude for the defense.

lmapassino’s Case.
The state is now preparing its case
against Imapassino for the murder of
Mrs. Fuda on the night of February 17
last. As soon as the case against Fuda
has been disposed of, the preliminary
steps toward bringing up Imapassino
will be taken. On ‘Friday a special
panel of jurymen will be called to take
up the case.

ANNUITL REUNION.
The First Connecticut Heavy Artillery at
Savin Rock.
The annual reunion of the First Con-
necticut Heavy Artillery was held at
Savin Rock yesterday. Several hun-
dred members were present coming
from this and other states. The busi-
ness meeting resulted in the election
of the following officers: President,
Charles M. Scranton; vice-presidents,
William H. Pardee,Freti‘erick H. Wal-
dron, David M. Sharpe,John T. Rohan,
Charles F.‘ Levere, William H. Sisson,
H. F. Wilbur, Arthur Y. Adams,
Thomas E. Langley, William H. Har-
vey, William H. Geary and Thomas
Harding. ' .5,
Judge Edwin C. Dow was re-elected
secretary and treasurer.
It was voted to hold the next reunion
at Derby, the second Wednesday in
June, next year. ‘
Judge Dow, the Secretary of the as-
sociation, has the only roster of the
regiment as it stands to-day. So far as
he can tell, about 900 of the original
enlistment survive. Since the war
they have scattered so that it is im-
possible to keep up with them all. The
death rate of late years has been rapid,
and oftentimes he is not informed when
one of his old comrades passes away.
Many of them, too, have gained polit-‘l
ical, social and financial distinction
since the war closed and the new duties
cause them to neglect the ties of the
old association.

HTTHER MEETS son.
Mulgiueen Mbst-Mulqueen and
Then There is Trouble.
WelliTKept and Bloody Evidence ofa Guar-
rel Between Father and Son.
Patrick J. Mulqueen has been placed
under arrest at South N orwalk, on the
charge of having assaulted his father
Patrick Mulqueen, the alleged assault
having occurred last Saturday.
It seems that there has been ill feel-
ing on the part of the father towards
the son for a long time. Patrick, J r.,
is married and keeping house near the
home of his childhood days, and he
occasionally calls to see his mother,
but times such calls so that they are
made when his father is absent.
On Saturday last thinking to make,
to her, a timely visit, he in company
with a friend called on his mother, who
welcOming the visitors furnished them
with a luncheon, ,which they were
greatly enjoying, when who should put
in an appearance with a look that
boded no good, but Mulqueen Sr. And
then the music commenced.
Mulqueen, Sr., is a subscriber for the
Irish World, and thinking to appease
his father’s wrath Mulqueen, J r., in-
troduced his friend as one of the editors
of that paper, but to no purpose, as the
former proceeded to give his son a
severe tongue lashing.
The affair resulted in a scrimmage,
in which the father received a slight
scratch on the side of his face, from
which the blood trickled down about
the length and size of a toothpick.
The visitors then retired from the
scene. .
The irate father, whose anger seem-
ed tO have in no wise abated, appeared
yesterday and swore out a warrant for
the arrest of his son, on the charge of
assault, and offered in evidence the
wound-the blood from which he had
allowedto dry on his face, and which
he Will offer as “exhibit B” in the trial,
which will probably take place to-day.
From Saturday to Wednesday is a
long time to leave a toothpick sized
streak of blood on one’s face, but Pat-
rick Mulqueen is nOt a man who would
hesitate at trifles in order to substan-
tiate his claims as to veracity.

Marvin Brothers have' been notified
by the First Assistant Postmaster Gen-

office in South Norwalk has been ac-
cepted.
The building according to the terms
of the contract is to be finished within
120 days. The equipments to be full
and complete as to heat and '‘light, and
includes a fire-proof vault.
The lease is for five years at an an-
nual rental of $750. _
There will be a free delivery system
for the benefit of East Norwalk resi-
dents, dating from July lst.
Work has already been commenced
on the new building which is to be lo-
cated on East Washington street and
adjoining the Hoyt’s Theatre building.
That the location of the post office
will meet with general approval is‘be-
lieved. Of course there are those who
would prefer the present location which
is a good one, but without the advan-
tages to be gained in the new place of
business.
The Marvin Brothers will no doubt
live up to the full letter of their con-
tract and by the first of November if
not earlier the change will be made
from the old to the new.

THE cHunEn {no omens.
Why Cardinal Richard Approves of the.
Tented Show.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Sun cables that Cardinal Richard,
Archbishop of Paris, has forbidden his
clergy to attend theatres. He says:
“The circus is allowed. It is the thea-
tre of childhood, and the priest goes
there as' the guide of children.” Re- ,
fe'rring to this disciplinary edict, the
general press agent of the Adam Fore-
paugh-Sells Brothers’ Consolidated
Shows remarks: “As the circus and
theatre occupy distinctively different
fields and there is no rivalry between
them, I cannot be classed as a preju-
diced or interested witness in sayingthat
Cardinal Richard’s action but empha-
sizes the fact that while the circus has
improved the stage has deteriorated,
and, unfortunately, is largely given up
to plays, the dubious suggestions and
situations in which would be hissed
from the circus ring. ‘The manager of
the greater circuses keenly realize that
their success and popularity largely
depends upon the patronage of the
children and the approval of their par-
ents. Hence, special effort is made to
delight the former by the introduction
of fairy spéctacles, clownish frolics and
funny animal performances, best calcu-
lated to harmlessly amuse them, while
anything to possibly offend the latter
is interdicted. As a result, thousands
of people never seen at a theatre attend
circuses known to be first class and re-
putable. This sort of entertainment
deserves the Archbishop’s indorse-
ment.” ‘
