A On Saturday last the GAZETTE pub- s. i’it published the item entire without lished an article copied from thee. omment, knowing full well that an Bridgeport Telegram, which accused the members of the Third Regiment Connecticut Volunteer Infantry with rufiianly conduct at Camp Marion, Sum- merville, S. C. The GAZETTE was positive that the charge was without foundation, and in order that the boys In camp in the south might read what was being said .of them at home during their absence Ianswer to the charges would follow promptly from one or more of the cor' respondents among the soldiers of the Third. ' The item was read immediately upon the arrival of the daily bundle of GAZETTE’S in camp and indignation reigned supreme, and it was not long before a denial was forthcoming from Corporal Ira S. Palmer, the corres- pondent of the Stamford Advocates: Corporal Palmer hotly refutes the charge in Friday’s Advocate as follows: The answer made by the officers and men of the Third Regiment is that the man who inspired this article is a cow- ardly liar, who has a grudge to satisfy. The men of the Third Regiment do not claim to be saints, but they are as decent and well-behaved as any sold- iers in the army. Stamford and Nor- walk people know many of them, and should not be willing to receive as truth‘ such a story as that printed in the Telegram, which does not give the name of its informant. It is. ,‘pretty rough for young men who. when war broke out, volunteered to fight for the flag, left their homes, theirbusiness and employment, choos- ing hardships and discomforts ‘ for the sake of their country, for which they were ready to shed their blood—it is rough, I say, for papers in their home towns to call them hoboes and tramps. By inquiring of the general officers it can be learned that there is no regi- ment in the Second Army Corps which is better disciplined, there are no bet.- ter-behaved men, than the Third Reg- ment, taking them as a whole.” autism Mill.

Francisco AquinosArrested on the, Charge bf Illegal Sale of Liquor Pleads Guilty. Francisco Aquino who conducts a peanut stand on Main street, and who was under arrest on the charge of sell- ing intoxicants without a. license ap- peared in the Town Court yesterday afternoon, before Judge Frost. ~ Attorney Lockwood appeared for the prosecution, and Attorney Hurlbutt for the defense. The accused pleaded guilty to the charge against him. The attorney for the prosecution said law on the part of the accused, and that the, man’s actions in conducting his business were of a special ‘annoy- ance on Sundays. Evidence, he said, of an improper sale of liquors had been forthcoming and hence the arrest. In behalf of his client, Attorney Hurlbutt said that he did not believe that he intended to evade in any wise the law,‘ and that. if he had done so it was through an ignorance of such law; that he-bought the goods in the best of faith as tonic, and sold the same open- that his attention had been called to what he considered violations of the , I ly as he might ’soda water, etc, and had acted in good faith. Judge Frost asked as to whether the accused had been warned as to the sale cf the alleged cider, to which in- terrogation the prosecuting attorney replied by saying. “It was'reported to me that Aquino was not conforming with the law for Some time since, but I waited for sufficient evidence for the warranting of his arrest. Parties who visited the place asked for cider, and soil «r as they knew they were ser- ved wit _ it.” Continuing, he said “We donbt warn people whom we wish to convict of a violation of law.” He said that defendants in similar cases when brought before the court as a rule put in a plea that they were ignorant of the law. Judge Frost recognized the fact that it was Aquino’s first arrest, and in fact imposed the mild penalty of $15 and costs, amounting in all to $16.05,, which was paid and t he prisoner Adis- charged. ' The matter of the disposal of the goods seized will be heard later in the same court. ' *4.-.»— Tha South Norwalk Fire Police ball takes place on Friday evening, Feb- TRAI'NS DELAYED.
