President McKinley Arrives Back from His Southern ‘ Trip. _4 The Cabinet Meet and Discuss the Haw- aiian Annexation. GAZETTE BUREAU, Z 1235 NEW YORK AVENUE, WASHINGTON June 15. l The Presidential party arrived back in Washingtén from its southern trip this morning. Only two things mar- red the trip. One was the intense heat spreading the 1ails which nettled the President a.“ nd even newspape1 corres- pondents and the other w as the 1gnor ant discourtesey of Mr. Vanderbilt’s agent -in charge of his princely estate near Asheville. O o O A cabinet meeting was held tO-day and the chief subject Of discussion was the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, which your correspondent predicts upon information deemed entirely re- liable, is a near-a’t-had event sure to come. The Senate put in another day on the tariff sugar schedule. 0 o 0 Two brutal looking tramps, who are now under arrest, boldly kidnapped two Washington boys Sunday afternoon. The victims of the hobos are George Tucker and Luther Sykes, each about fifteen years of age. 0 O 0 Gen. Wilson, Chief of Engineers, has called upon all of the engineer officers in charge of river and harbor work for detailed statements of the projects in their respective sections of the country. The purpose is to prepare for the be- ginning of the new fiscal year by ascer— taining exactly the state of the works and the amount of money needed at each point. ‘ o 0 0 Henry H. Buehler, claimed to be the ‘ oldest Odd Fellow in the world, died this morning, in Baltimore, aged 89 years. He was a pioneer member of Wil- liam Tell Lodge, and intimately asso- ciated with John Wildey, the founder of the order, of which he was a member for sixty—four years. 0 O O The annual readjustment of classifi- cation and salaries of Presidential post- Offices have been completed, and the changes given out at the Post-office De- partment. The following changes are in Connecticut—New London advanced ‘y second to first; West Winsted advanced third to second; Mossup regulated third to fourth, to take effect July 1st. A iv, THEY TOOK A TRAIN. Newly Married Couples Given a Send-Off Last Night. The engineer of the 9:36 express train west last night wasa the prOudest man in seventeen states when he pulled his train up at the Bridgeport depot Begrimed as he was with Oil and the dust of bituminous coal, he fully recog- nized the conspicuous occasion. There were two bridal parties to join the train at this point and all other business of the great Consolidated road was supposed to be subservient to their demands. Fully 500 people were at the depot to see the newly wedded couples is off by th1s train. Rice was thrown in profusion, sky- rockets were shot off, old shoes thrown, red fire burned, and even a fusilade of pistols discharged as the two newly wedded pairs moved away on their honeymoon trip. Several Old bachelors fainted dead away in the excitement. A contingent of at least 100 pretty girls sang a re- frain “ We Will Get The're By and By,” and the exercises came to a close. The depot men had to work all night in cleaning up the debris. AA; V 7 Wrong Again. “Spanish Maria’s” friend was wrong I again last night in his publication of , the McKeon vs. Byington suit.

SGHOOLLIISITORS. They Meet and Fail to Elect a New Secretary but Vote Appropriations. The War in the Camp Goes Merrily 0n without a Secretary. A meeting of the joint board of the Selectmen and board of school visitors was held last evening, Bradley S. Keith presiding. The selectmen were all present. The board of school visitors was represented by Messrs. Olmstead, ’ Mead, Carroll, Light, Blanchard and Tolles. A considerable increase as from the appropriation Of last yea1 was in ev i- dence from the 1 ep01 ts fr om the esv - eral districts as read by_ acting clerk Charles Olmstead. The principal business before the board was the appropriation of money for the several districts in the town,for the promotion of the best interests of the public schools. The first matter broached was that of an appropriation of $1,200 for the night schools, the need of which ap- propriation was fully set forth . by A Blanchard. Mr. Carrol of the board questioned the advisability Of the appropriation, and was met, by the assertion on the part of the chair, that it was imperative on the part of the town to conduct such school or schools. Selectman Selleck took exceptions to the amount being granted, and causti- cally remarked “that they, (meaning the pupils) go to the school simply to have fun and not to learn.” General Olmstead said that the charge was a serious one, and deserv- ing more than ordinary attention from the board. After the discussion which showed more or less acrimony, it was m.9.>$"‘“§9§£ 0 gm 9 W<§Té9sss OX’ 9X9X9 2219*“ voted that the amount be granted. There was considerable discussion in the matter of an extra appropriation for the South Five Mile River district. Principal Lamphere was present and explained the needs of an appropriation in excess of that of last year. His ar- gument to the end of securing an addi- tion to the regular appropriation was fair but it received a dampener from Mr. Carrol, who questioned the right of a principal giving special instruc- tion to one scholar or another as out- side Of the class in which he had been taught. . After some discussion the prayer of the petitioners was granted. Several of the school districts were represented by their committeemen and in the main were accorded all they asked for. The amounts finally voted the several districts were: South N orwalk, Over River, 16,750 6,980 $3.?“ ”‘3‘“ ‘PATTEHN DEPAHTM ENT_‘ ‘\/\ [Um/\Al\f\ I \I\I\l\ /\/\ /\ r\ I\ An: The EVENING GJZETTE (Pal/terns, published in ' cmother column urefrom the latest dour-is designs, and will be mailed- zfo cmy address upon receipt of 10 cents. 0| There seemed to be a feeling on the part Of certain members that an imme- diate adjournment would be just the thing to do. Genelal Olmstead called the atten- tion of the members to the fact that there were matters that ought to be acted upon at this meeting and then business was t1ansacted in an expedi- tious mannei. Mr. Carrol made a motion that the chairman Of the board, Mr. empowered to act as or appoint a tem- ' porary secretary during the interem of an election of a secretary in place’ of H. N. Dunning, deceased. A motion was made by some one to “adjourn, until to-morrow night.” This did not meet with approval, as a “I can’t be here” was heard from Mr. Bell, which sentiment agreed with the feelings of Mr. Mead. General Olmstead finally succeeded ' in getting the board to do a little busi- ness, but it seemed to be nearly as hard as trying to drive a ten-penny nail into a paving- -stone. ' Byg good oene1alsh1p, he managed to get the boa1d to look at and accept the plans of the proposed new schoolhouse in East Norwalk. Other matters which he deftly brought to the attention of the board, was the application for the appoint— ment of Harry Payne as truant Officer, and Mr. Payne was so appointed. He said that Frank Gregory, princi- pal of the North Center district desired an opportunity to perfect himself in certain branches by a visitation at more advanced schools, this for the ben- efit of his ,pupils as well as himself. The proposition met with the warm accord of the board, and the desired leave of absence was given. On motion Of John H. Light, General Charles Olmstead was authorized to continue his visits at the schools at such time as in his opinion was deemed necessary. It was voted that the July and Au- gust meetings of the board be omitted. A report of the attendance at the 35.9.». *‘9‘991‘999. it)” ”93%?” § .9391 org/es. ‘night school, together with attendant statistics was signed previous to trans- mission to the proper authorities. General Olmstead and John H.

The board then adjourned. Are After Bass.

There was not a large attendance of spectators, yesterday in the Superior court when the trial of Nicodemo Im- apassino, the Italian charged with com- plicity in the murder of Mrs. Fuda at East Norwalk on the night of Feb. 17, was resumed. It is claimed by the state that the accused is just as guilty of the murder as Fuda, the husband Of the murdered woman, who last week was found guilty of murder in the first degree. The accused did not appear to be as nervous as he was during the Fuda trial and he confidently expects to be cleared from the charge. The testimony taken yesterday was much the same as that introduced by the state against Fuda. Francis P. Gates the engineer who discovered the body of the murdered woman on the tracks was called and testified substantially as he did at the first trial as to the posi- tion of the body when he discovered it. Dr. W. C. Burke, J 11., of Norwalk, the medical examiner, testified as to the condition of the ground in the im- mediate vicinity. He described the wounds on the body of the woman. Joseph Miller, night agent at the Stamford depot, identified Imapassino as the Italian who was with Fuda and the latter’s wife and declared he was the man that asked him the questions as to the arrival and departure of trains from Stamford. James Palma, an Italian youth, swore he saw Imapassinno with Mr. and Mrs. Fuda at the Stamford depot on the night of the murder. Imapassino spoke to him and told him he was go- ing to South Norwalk. Brakeman Russell identified Imapas- sino as being‘with Fuda in the smoking car of his train on the night of the murder. The woman was in the car ahead, he said. Late this afternoon, Prof. White the Yale expert who testified in the Fuda trial, was placed on the stand and told the result of his microscopical examina- tions of the blood stained garments of Mrs. Fuda. Hevexamined the hatchet and found blood and hair on the weapon. Later he found upon examination that the blood on the hatchet as well as the hair found on it corresponded with the blood and hair of thefnurdered woman. He proved conclusively that the hatchet was used in the murder and that the blood stains on Fuda’s coat came from the body of Mrs. Fuda. The skull of Mrs. Fuda was produced showing the wounds as they appeared on the head Of the murdered woman. It was a ghastly looking object as it was held up before the ju1y and the nature of the gashes explained. The professor declared the tthe1e was not the least pat ticle of doubt but that the hatchet was used in making the wounds. The cut‘ penetrated the skull and it was easy to imagine how any one of them could have been fatal. All the blood stained garments of the murdered wo- man were produced and the stains ex- plained by Prof. White. He explained that it was possible for a man to have assisted in the murder and have no blood stains On his clothing, as blood would not spurt from the gashes pro- fusely. SOme of them, he said, could have been produced and evidently were by striking the woman in the 'head while she lay prostrate on the ground. He said that upon examination of Fuda’s coat he found where blood had evident- ,ly been sponged from it. He found no blood'on the clothing worn by Imapas- sino. At this point the court session was adjourned until this morning when it will come in a quarter of an hour earlier. —-——<o.o>—-'—— More Honors.

Sheriff Miller Makes Another Arrest in the Greenwich Murder Case. The Suspect, John Lane, Released After Six Days Confinement. There was a large crowd in attend— ance when the Greenwich borough court opened Tuesday. Those present were brought there through curiosity for John Lane, who was arrested at Long Ridge, last Wednesday, was ex- pected to give some startling testimony regarding the murder of young Long, a few days ago. A disappointment was in store for all. The man was not even put to plea. Prosecuting Attorney Walsh stating that he did not wish to hold him. Lane was immediately dis- charged and was very much pleased thereat. ’ In the afternoon Deputy Sheriff Mil- ler arrested a man named William Sid- ney. , Sidney was one of the men near the scene of the shooting at the time it occurred and it is believed that he knows more about the matter than he will disclose. Sidney has testified to hearing the shot and to seeing a man running away from where Long’s body was discovered. Since his examination Sidney has made the remark that he had not told all he knew. Sidney was placed in the Greenwich lock-up, but later in the afternoon boarded the east- bound train with Deputy Miller. Sheriff Miller said that he had been following several clues with indifferent success. None of those thought the most had panned out for anything. Two days ago his attention was attrac- ted to a point which had escaped the notice Of everyone. He had looked in- to it and his investigation had been re— paid in some measure. He would not say that the arrest of Sidney had anything to do with his discoveries. In reference to the woman in the case, known only as “ Nellie,” the sheriff said that he had seen a let- ter written by “Nellie ” to a Stamford~ ite. In the letter she stated that since A leaving Stamford an enjoyable trip into New Jersey and Brooklyn had been taken by her. She expressed her in- tention of returning to Stamford in a day or two. The letter was written to an intimate friend of the woman. Mil- ler would not say where he saw the letter or how he came to see it.
