Suspicious Actions of a Man
Who Claimed to Belong in
Danbury.
He Leaves Two Fine Horses in an Acad-
emy Street Barn Without Feed.
Complaint was made to Chief Brad-
ley Saturday night that two horses
were in a small barn and liable to suffer .
from lack of feed.
The chief visited the barn and order-
ed the animals, which seemed to be a
good grade of coach horses, taken to
Bank’s stables.
There is considerable mystery in-
volved as to the ownership of the
horses.
The story as to their being taken to
the barn and by whom, is, as told a
GAZETTE reporter by the agent of the
barn Mr. G. A. Franke, in substance
as follows.
Some four weeks since a man who
gave his name as Sherwood and his
home Danbury, called on Mr. Franke
and expressed a desire to hire a barn,
he claiming that he had a contract in
towu in which he would have use for
several horses. The barn he claimed
did not exactly suit him as there were
stalls for but two horses, and he went
away. ‘
Mr. Franke thought no more of the
matter, and was surprised to have the
man call on him again last Tuesday
with a request for a key to the barn,
the party saying that he wished to
stable a horse there over night. The
key was forthcoming and he went away
but the next day returned the key.
On Saturday, Mr. Franke was advised
that two horses had been placed in the
barn at 2 o’clock, Wednesday morning,
where they had since been stabled
without care of any kind.
He further learned that the horses
came up on one of the propellers from
New York, and that the name of the
man who receipted for them was C. W.
Sherwood.
He became suspicions that they were
stolen property and telephoned to Dan-
bury asking as to whether any horses
had been stolen from there, and re-
ceived an answer in the negative.
Failing to locate Sherwood or the
owner of the horses, Mr. Franke notified
Chief Bradley with the result above
stated.
The owner of the animals has not yet
put in an appearance, much to the re-
gret of the agent of the barn.

Recognition Clause Eliminated
The House of Representatives, by a
majority of 23, to-day passed the Sen-
ate Cuban resolution, with the recog-
nition clause eliminated.
The matter will now go to confer-
once.
A ‘
Important Oyster Decision.
J udgc Wheeler on Saturday handed
down . a decision sustaining Pretice
Chase’s motion in the case of the
Connecticut Oyster Growers association
against Frank T. Lane and other oyster
growers.
aThis is a case of great interest to all
oyster growers in this state; in brief, it
holds that private oyster growers can-
not assume control ovcr certain parts
of natural oyster grounds, and assert
a monopoly of the benefits coming from
such ground.

, War Orders.
Postmaster Malone was in receipt of
war orders from the Postmaster-General
this morning. The orders state that
any employee who is a member of the
militia, or who enlists, will be granted
a leave of absence without pay in case
of war, and his place will be kept for
him until he returns.

The La Mont Club.
The leading speaker at the meeting
of the La Mont club yesterday was Mr.
Frank A. Ferris. He gave the club a
very interesting and educational talk.
Mr. Ferris is very much interested in
the success of the club, and the mem-
bers are helping him out in the laud-
able enterprise in a splendid manner.
EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN; BY ONE
OF THEM.
When the spinsters and childless
women and men who “run” the
Mothers’ Congress have disposed of the
vast range of topics which are about as
close to their subject as if they were
viewed through the wrong end of the
opera glass, they will find it both perti-
nent and timely to consider the subject
'of corporal punishment for children.
The many who have thought that
this practice was so obsolete as to re-
quire no consideration have only to re-
call the recent invention of a spanking
machine, which, according to the in-
ventor, was to lessen the labors of the
nursery as well as the reform school.
With the spanking machine in exis-
tence, it is time for another crusade
against the evils of corporal punish-
ment—habitual domesticated corporal
punishment, that is to say—for however
necessary such a thing may be in a re-
formatory, it is not in one case in a
hundred to be recommended for a home.
It is all very well to say that children
can only be disciplined by physical in-
fliction, and their consciences are only
to be reached through their senses. A
little more patience and wisdom upon
the part of the parents would obviate
all such difficulties.
lNhen corporal punishment isn’t an
outlet for parental wrath it is pretty
certain to be the result- of laziness.
Ever so little exertion of forbearance
might avert many a spanking.
“Spare the rod and spoil the child”
was all right, perhaps, in the days of
Solomon, but a good many other things
were right then, too—among others a
whole haremful of wives. “I can al-
ways tell the child that has never
known what it is to be whipped,,’ said
a wise woman the other day.
“He has somehow a diliferent air and
look from the child to whom it is
accustomed thing. He is so fearless, so
upheaded, so sure that he has nothing
to dread in the way of brutality or
treachery. And also can I tell the
father or mother who are in the habi t
of so punishing their children.
' The effect is just as telling upon
them as it is upon the child.” The
whole subject, perhaps, might be better
treated in a Child’s Congress, though
some time,- after the mothers have ex-
hausted all other far-fetched topics, it
wouldn’t hurt them one mite to con
sider it. '
