Report of the Legislative Suh-‘ ‘ Committee, Sheriff Hawley’s Pay Amounts 'to $6,089. 73. A committee of the Legislature has just made public its report upon the in- comes of the sheriffs of the various counties in Connecticut. It says: “We have reason to‘believe that the estimates submitted by one of the sheriffs in particular.(Hartford County) is low. .A careful eXamination of the schedule will show that ,Ithe sheriffs of the four larger counties are the only sheriffs receiving salaries as jailers,that the sheriff of New London County re- ceives a salary of $300 per year as jailer, although he does not live at the jail,and that the sheriff of Middlesex County receives a salary of $200 per year ‘for the care and responsibility of the jails,’ although he does not live" at either jail. ' ~ “It is evident, also, that there is a lack of uniformity regarding the amount collected by sheriffs from their deputies. It should-be observed, also, that the sheriffs of the smaller counties 3‘: do not live at their respective jails, as undoubtedly they could if they should so elect. By so doing, it readilymay be seen that theirincomes would be considerably increased. Further, we would ask you to notice that the sheriff 3 in Hartford County is not allowed a commission on fines paid at the jail, as is the practice in nearly all the coun- ": . ties; the State’s Attorney of Hartford County contending, we believe, that such a commission has no standing in the law. That the income derived yearly,'by some of the sheriffs, to say the least, undoubtedly is excessive, is attributable mainly to the present sys4 tem.” . The average yearly income of the several sheriffs is given as follows: Hartford county, Edwin J. Smith, sheriff, $5598.50. New Haven county, Charles R. Spie- ‘gel, sheriff, $10226.18. New London county, George 0. Jack- son, sheriff, $3100.00. Windham county, Charles B. Pom- eroy, sheriff, $2556.43. Litchfield county, Edward A. N ellis, . sheriff, $1838. 71. The average yearly income of Sheriff Sidney E. Hawley of Fairfield county is given as follows: ' Salary from the state, ’ $1000 00 Salary as jailer, (Maycollect $640,) collects fromhis deputies, Receives from key fees, Receives for attendance at 365 00 1092 50 court. 550 00 Receives for transportation - of prisoners to court and return, 350 00 Receives for transportation - 32000 of prisoners to state prison, Receives for service of civil process, 25 00 Receives for putting prison- . ers to plea, 100 00 Commission on fines paid at - ' 187 23 the jail, .

Third conneclicul llol, Yet on the Lisl- Orders ,Expecled Within a Day or Two. A special Washington despatch to the Courant says: It is said that organizations of ar-. tillery, infantry and cavalry in the volunteer service will be designated within a. day or two for mustering out in addition to the list announced by the adjutant-general to-day. The strong probability is that the second an- nouncement will include Light Bat- tery A and Heavy Batteries B and C of Connecticut and the Third Regi- ment of Connecticut Volunteer Infan- try. While this statement ca‘nnot be made on absolute authority, it is learn- .ed at the war department that the mustering out Of. these Connecticut organizations is likely to be ordered within a few days. The list announced today includes the following regiments;FirstVermont, First Maine,Fifty-second, Iowa, Sixth Pennsylvania, Fifth Maryland, Second New York, Second N ebraska,0neHun- dred and Fifty-seventh Indiana,all vol- unteer infantry; also battery A, B, C and D of Ohio light artillery, First Il- linois Volunteer Cavalry, Battery A and B Georgia Light Artillery,Twenty- eighth Indiana Light Battery and the New York and Pennsylvania cavalry tro’ops now in Porto Rico. -—-———¢o.o>-———-—-— .

At that time she escaped with a few slight bruises, but her hus- band, Mat. Lambert, was so badly in- jured that he has since been confined to his bed.

The surf was running A Search Being Made to Locate HerI Some months since a Hungarian girl who gave her name as Rosalia Guyer secured work at the Mahackemo hotel in South N orwalk. She later.lost her situation and went to board-at the home of Mrs. Terry Krischzor, No. 21 Benton street, Since then she had secured situations as a domestic at different places but held the same only for short periods. Mrs. Krischzor, who is employed at one of the factories in South Nor walk, now claims that Rosalia has robbed her of a sum of money amounting to over twenty dollars. . . She asserts that she left a pocket- book containing $9 in bills and some small change ina pocketbook, and a pay envelope from the. factory where she is employed containing ten dollars more both of which were tied up in a handkerchief. , Returning home from work on Mon- day, she found both Rosalia and the money missing, but at the time made no cemplaint-to the officers of herloss, thinking that perhaps she had mislaiId the money. - After a thorough search she became convinced that Rosalia must be the guilty party but not until to-day did she Swear out a complaint for her ar- rest, which was placed in the hands of Constable Goodwin, who learned that thevvoman had removed her trunk and other belongings to No. 31 Bouton street and that she had boarded a. car this morning for Westport. ‘ ; I And now comes the strange part of the story. Rosalia on Tuesday in the absence of Mrs. Krischzor visited the latter’s home and after a while came out of the house and stated to people living on the street, that she had found the missing money and had placed it under a pillow in Mrs. Krischzor’s room. This information was conveyed to the owner of the purse when she re- turned from work in the evening, but she failed to verify, after a fruitless search,.the truth of the girl’s state- ment. Rosalia, who it IS learned was stop- ping at No. 31 only a few doors away, heard of Mrs. Krischzor’s ill success and Wednesday again Visited her for- mer home, and stated that for the second time that she had found and placed the money as on Tuesday under a pillow, but a further search did not bring it to, light. It is thought that her stories were concocted as a subterfuge to gain time to get out of town. The constable is close on the tracks of the alleged thief and hopes to ap- prehend her to-day.
