~ 0 O 0

When Mr. Dingley arose in the House
this noon to report the result of the
conference on the' tariff his statement
was received with deafening applause.
He explained in detail the action on
each Senate amendment and the effect
of the conference committee’s report on
the same. He stated that the amount
of the differential duty on sugar re-
mains in reality just the same as in the
bill which passed the House.

He proceeded to show how ample
would be the yield Of revenue- under
the new tariff bill. This, he said,
would come in the second year after
the passage of the bill.

The question was asked how much
the sugar trust is protected by the con-
ference duty, and Mr. Dingley answered
“just- about half of that under the “fil-
son bill. ”

Will be Given Hearing in Greenwich on
Charge of Killing Long.

William E. Sidney who is charged

Greenwich on June 6 last, was a free
:man forabrief time yesterday morn-
ing. Judge Wheeler, after hearing the
case on the writ of habeas corpus
secured by Sidney’s counsel, ordered
that he be discharged, on the ground
that he had not had an opportunity to

bench warrant and taken to Bridgeport
and confined in the county jail without
a hearing. He has been detained there
fOr more than a month. Judge Wheel:
er, in giving his decision, said: .

“The liberty of a citizen ,is of too
great importance to warrant'imprison-
ment without first giving the accused
an opportunity to be heard.”

After the order of discharge was
signed, Sidney started to walk away
with his attorneys. He had been a free
man about a minute, and had reached
the steps of the Colinty Court House,
when Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy Of Green-
wich stepped up to him and placed him
under arrest. Sidney was taken to
Greenwich, and will have a hearing at
once. The evidence the State has to
connect him with the murder has not
been disclosed.

Danger of Dsculation on Bicycles.

An amusing spectacle was wit-
nessed by several onlookers, early Fri-
day afternoon. At the foot of Clark’s
Hill, a young lady and gentleman who
were riding their bicycles slowly up
the hill became desirous of kissing each
other, utterly unmindful of the fact
that they were on a public highway
where the performance was likely to
be witnessed. However, oblivious to
everything and everybody, the young
man kissed the cheek Of the maiden,
with the result that both riders fell off
their wheels. A couple of young
ladies riding a Short way back of them
had seen the operation and its result,
and became so convu15ed with laugh-
ter that they with difficulty retained
their balance, and a pOOr pedestrian
who had no wheel to fall from and no
one to kiss, leaned up against a fence
and emitted a series of howls—Stam-

Plentyof Peaches.
The peach crop in Connecticut for
1897 is likely to break the record. J. H.
Hale, an authority in such matters,
says that, unless something new utterly
unforeseen should develop, the yield
this year in this state would be im-
mense. His own orchard in South Glas-
tonbury gives promise of a splendid
crop of fine peaches. From all over
the state he hears Of the same state Of
things, and he thinks Connecticut will
have all the fine peaches it wants this
year. The Jersey crop which ripens
about the same time, will also be large,

' Have you noticed the ivy-entwined
trunk of the tree on the West avenue
front of the St. Paul’s chapel lot on
West avenue? It is deserving of being
photographed with its “upper crust”
of barren limbs and branches. Of
twigs and twiglets, bark and life they
have none, but the absence of the same,
makes the sight all the more interest-
ing.

Although Married Without Her Parents

Consent She Has Been Forgiven.

yesterday led to the discovery of an

kelopement. followed by forgiveness. ’
Early on the morning of Sunday, July ,

4, Miss Pearle E. Sears, appeared at
the house Of the Rev. S. L. Hillier, pas-
tor of the First Presbyterian church of.

‘Morrisania, in company with Charles

A. Nichols, of New York and the couple
asked the clergyman to perform a mar-
riage ceremony then and there. Mr.
Hillier asked some questions and dis-
covered that the couple had run away
to get married, but he performed the
ceremony.

Miss Sears who is the daughter of
Fred W. Sears, a surveyor, residing at
25 Isaacs Place, is nineteen years of
age and has been employed in a
New York Art studio for the past ten
months. While in New York she be-
came acquainted with Mr. Nichols, a
tenor singer, who was formerly a mem-
ber of the Old Homestead quartet.
Nichols, who is 48 years old, boarded
in the house in which Miss Sears
boarded.

The Couple became attached to each
other, and, recently, when Miss Sears
visited her parents in this city, she in-
formed her mother that she was in love
with Mr. Nichols. Her mother tried
to-discourage the match, and advised
the girl to give up her newly-formed
acquaintance. This she promised to
do. ,

When She returned to New York she

quently. After her marriage on July
4 the bride sent a letter to her mother
asking forgiveness, but not saying what
she wanted to be forgiven for. As she
name Nichols, that ex-
plained. .

The bride’s uncle, Dr. W. H. Bald-
win, _said that, while she had got mar'
ried without her parents’ consent, she
had been forgiven, and was now living
happily with her husband in Harlem,
where Min/Nichols had an engagement.
When Mrs. Nichols notified her mother
of her marriage her father went to New
YOrk and saw the minister who mar-
ried the couple. He did this to satisfy
himself that they had been married.
The couple spent their honeymoon with
the bride’s grandparents in Hacken-
sack, N. J.

:-~ it About a Year Ago. '

M y"-

Frothing at the mouth and with ac—’
tions similar to those of a canine suf-
fering with the rabies, Patrick Ma-
' loney, a farm hand employed by Au-
gustus Jinks, of Georgetown, ran about
the farm on Saturday night. and at-
tacked several of the neighbors, at-
tempting to bite them. He was cap-
tured after a terrible struggle.

The patient thus transformed from a
quiet, unassuming workman into oa
demon by this terrible disease proba-
bly cannot live longer than a few days.

About a year ago, while working in
the fields, Maloney was bitten by a dog
suffering with the rabies. He took
prompt measures with the wound and
it healed nicely, the patient feeling no
bad effects until last week.

It was on Saturday that the bad re-.
sults first became apparent, Maloney
was at work in the hay field, when he
began to act decidedly queer. It was
at first feared that he was affected by
the heat, bilt towards night the man
began to froth at the mouth and com-
menced running about the farm.

Every attention possible is paid to
the sick man, but his violent demon-
strations are beginning to tell upon him
and he is rapidly growing weaker.

The raving man’s sufferings are ter-
rible to witness, and the. greatest sym-
pathy is expressed in the case.

She Attempts to Choke
Her Mother and injure
Other Mernbers Of
the Family.

The Police Called For and'the Woman
.Locked Up.

 

Mrs. Ann Blackwell lives. on Harriet
street and has a family of seven chil-’
dren, among the number being a
daughter aged about 23 years. The
latter has developed signs Of insanity,
and she was some mOnths ago placed
under restraint, in fact was arrested.

Physicians were summoned to act on
the question of her sanity but failed to
agree and she was discharged‘ from
custody.

For two or three days Mrs. Blackwell
has observed that her daughter was ex-
hibiting signs of a return of her com-
plaint and kept an extra close watch on
her movements. Yesterday her appre-
hensions were fully realized when the
daughter drove the younger members
of the family out of the house, and then

her mother by the throat.

Mrs. Blackwell managed to elude her
daughter, and ran to the home of Char-
les A. Burr near by, and asked for as-
sistance. She told her story and Mrs.
Burr offered to provide for the chil-
dren for the night.

Mr. Burr had retired to his Sleeping-
room but arose and dressing himself,
secured the aid Of Captain Dann, and
the woman who was acting as only
maniacs can was lodged in the station-
house. ‘

An examination as to her sanity and
the result it is believed will be that she
will be ordered sent to the asylum for
the insane at Middletown. . '

Her previous actions have, it is al-
leged, certainly entitled her to a much

1 earlier-confinement in that institution.

Unless something of the kind , is '_done

the lives of the members Of the family

seem certainly to be in danger.

of David in Metre” (Rouse’s Version),
also Sixty-seven paraphrases and five
