There are now 210 prisoners at the

county jail. Two or three only_are
suffering fromgrip. At the state prison
last week there were 140 men unable "to
work in the shop on account_of the
grip, and six officers were disabled.
The health of prisoners at' the Bridge-
port jail is unusually good. .

Among the several “memorials” now
being finishedat Bates7 granite works
(in Water street, are a sarcophagus for
Samuel Raymond’s grave, at New Ca-
naan, one to the-memory of C. B. More-
house, at Spring Grove cemetery. at
Darien. and a monument for the Mrs.
James Ryan plot in St. Mary’s ceme-
, tery'. i

We are in receipt (if a letterfrpm S.
B. Aspinwall, in which, referring to
the decree of divorce recently granted
to his wife, Florence S. Aspinwall,
he says,'-“I intend to contest the di-
vorce case and will demand that it be
reopened.” Mr. Aspinwall’s resxdence

is in Newark, N. I. He thinks that,

his wife is at present in Danbury.

, Fire In Ridgefield. .
A barn owned by Dr. C. H. Kendall
in Ridgefield was totally destroyed by
fire lastnight. The flames were first
discovered at about 9:30 o’clock and
all efl'orts to save the structure were
unavailing. A horse and cow together
with a large amount hay and grain were
burned as were a number of chickens.
The fire is supposed-to have originated
from an oil stove which was used to
keep the chickens warm.

 

Smothered to Death.

Mr. and Mrs. Harris. the former in
the employof Mrs. Hannah Hill. of
South Norwalk, took their babe from

' its cradle last night and placed it in
the bed between them, thinking no
doubt to keep it the warmer. What
was their horror on awaking this morn-
ing, to find the little one dead can be
the better imagined than described. A
physician was summoned who found
that the babe had smothered to death.
The grief of the parents is beyond
description. '

Bitter Cold.

Saturday last was a bitter cold day,
and Saturday night was the coldest of
this section for some years. Early
Sunday morning thermometers regis-
tered 0 degrees below zero. In several
stores and buildings water pipes were
frozen up. The weather moderated
some during the night and early this
morning there was a snowfall of about
three inches. This was followed by a
cold. cutting storm of sleet and rain.
The last three days have been the most
tedious and snapping cold of the sea-
son. The ground hog evidently knew
what he was about when he crawled
back in his hole on Candlemas day.
P. S.—A hard snow storm is prevailing
at this writing, 2 p. m.

 

U. 8. District Court.

The February term of the U. S. Dis-
trict court, criminal side, Judge Wil-
liam'H. Townsend, came in at New
Haven Tuesday, and the following
cases were disposed of : . . '

Robert Reynolds, of South Norwalk,
who used the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses, pleaded guilty’ and was fined
$100 and sent to jail for thirty days.
In letters he claimed to be the daugh-
ter of a deceased clergyman and sought
assistance on this pretext.

C. A. Nichols,'the letter-carrier of
.Bridgepott, pleaded guilty to stealing
$15 from the Bridgeport post-office,
and was fined $50 and costs. .

Christian Quien of Danbury, charged

taining pension papers, fined $150 in-
cluding costs.

Has, a Double.
Edward Jones of Bridgeport,
travels for the Gilbert & Bennett
Co. of Georgetown, was recently the

victim of acase of amistaken identity. -

He was in Meriden and was. about
to board a train when a policeman
grabbed him and charged. him \vit
stealing $4,000 from the sale of A. A.
Drew of that city. Mr. Jones was ex-
plaining/that he wasn’t the thief when
Mr. Drew came up and identified him
as the man. , .

Notwithstanding his protests lie was
locked up. Though several of his cus»
tomers tried to convince the police offi-
cial and Mr. Drew that Mr. Jones
had a. double and the double Was the
thief, Mr. Jones was not released until
Attorney Davenport, his step father, of.
Bridgeport, went to Meriden.

After a great effort Mr. Davenport
convinced the antherities that his step
son-was no bold, bad burglar and he
was released. Mr. Jones-has brought
suit for $5,000 damages, it is said, for
false imprisonment.

burned to the ground-about 4 o’clock
Saturday afternoon. The fire was first
discovered by a servant girl, who saw
smoke coming» out of the roof of the

portion of the furniture on the first
floor, but everything else was burned.
A heavy wind prevailed at the time.
Mr. Selleck will be remembered as a

"7M1? ll ill IDO.

Medical writers claim that the suc-
cessful remedy for nasal catarrli must
be nondrritating. easy of application,»
and one that will- reach the remote
sores and ulcerated surfaces. The his.
tory of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy has
completely met these conditions, and
that is Ely’s Cream Balm. This safe
and pleasant remedy has mastered ca-
tarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients free-
ly concede this fact. Our druggists
keep it.

The first week of the February ses-
sion of the Superior criminal court
closed last Saturday night. It has
made a remarkable record. During
the‘week 21 prisoners were sentenced,
one case was nolled and one prisoner

was found not guilty. The aggregate

sentence of the prisoners sentenced is
18 years and 5 months.

We frequently hear people say that a
guarantee don’t amount to anything.
However that may be with other prepara-
tions, it amounts to just this with Allen’s
Sarsaparilla, every bottle has a guarantee
label near-the bottom. If no benefit is
derived by the time it is taken down to this
label, itcan be returned to us, according
to directions on the label and we will re-
fund the full price; provided it is taken
regularly and according to directions, and
for the diseases for which we recommend
it, and provided it is not purchased at a
discount from the retail price. N o reme.
dy without wonderful properties, and sold
at so low a price, could be guaranteed un-
der these terms. “’0 are convinced by
our experience and by the strong testimo- '
nials that are constantly pouring in, that
we are perfectly safe in guaranteeing Al-‘
len’s Sarsaparilla.

F. E. Lannnns, of Benton Falls, Me,
writes :—I had a severe kidney trouble,
and could not straighten up or walk. I
was advised to take Sarsaparilla. I took
two well-known kinds but got no benefit
and was at last induced to try Allen’s. I
took two bottles and am today a well-man.
I am now able to do a hard day’s work
in the pulp mill every day, and have no
signs of a return of my old trouble, nor
do I expect to. I would advise anybody
troubled with kidney disease to give Al-
len’s Sarsaparilla a good trial.‘ It saved
my life. ‘

Miss J 0511: Vv’insou of South \Valpole,
Mass., writes :—I have been troubled for
a number of years with a terrible disease
callyl eczema. My face was a terrible
sight, all red blotches. I tried everything~
and was on the point of giving up in de-
spair,when someone recommended Allen’s
Sarsaparilla, and I have only used one
bottle and my face is almost well, and
there are no pimples on it at all now. I
cannot speak too highly of it, and have
recommended it to a. great many of my
friends who now have great faith in it. I
shall get some more and keep on using it
as I know it is doing me good.

 

F.‘E. Gnnason of Lexington, Mass.,
writes :—I had an internal abeess and was
confined to my bed five weeks; was com-
pletely prostrated and worn out with pain.
I commenced taking your Sarsaparilla
and found my strength coming back, and
after taking two bottles consider myself
well. ~

I take pleasure in recommending your
Sarsaparilla to all my friends and to the
public. My wife has also taken it for

A Small Blizzard.

The storm which began Sunday night
and continued until about 9 o’clock-
Monday night, was by all odds the
most severe this winter. There was a
heavy fall of snow accompanied by a
high wind, which banked the snow in
some places. to the depth of three feet.
Nearly one foot of snow fell on the
level. No damage was done by the
storm in town. aside from the partial
blocking up of streets. .

The snow in the business part of the
city is being removed and‘ dumped
from the bridge into the creek. to-day.

:A large number of men who were
idle on Monday are busily engaged to-
day in cleaning sidewalks, etc., and the
air is almost as balmy as a day in June.

Trains on the Consolidated road were
stalled in the yards at New Haven, and
travel on the road was considerably in-
terrupted by the drifting of snow on
the tracks. _ i

A Hartford dispatch says : “Not since
the memorable blizzard has this city
experienced such a storm as prevailed
to-day. Thcwind blew down signs of
the merchants, and the immense snow
drifts blocked street car travel.”

. At Middletown the snow was'eight
inches deep and the horse car lines
were forced to stop running.

. The storm in New York city did con-
mderable damage, and great anxiety
was felt for vessels that did not reach
that port before the storm.

The storm raged fiercely along the
shores of the Hudson river and the
Sound in Westchester county. Telex
graph and telephone wires were leveled
to the ground and the service disabled.
Trains on the Hudson River, Harlem
and New York, New Haven and Hart-

_ ford were more or less behind time.

Interesting Political Grist.

The knowing ones in politics 'have
begunto lay secret plans for next fall’s
campaign in this state and others have
started to chatter about it says the New
Haven, Union. Candidates have been,
others soon will be suggested for gover.
nor, lieutenant governor, the other
state offices and for congress. Within
a month. the politicians will be in the
real beginning of the campaign of 1894.

Democrats who are' posted are not
taking a deep interest in the outcome
of the state election. They look upon
this as avfateful year. But the Repub-
licans look at thin s differently. The

. Hartford correspon ent tells all about

it. Listen to what he says :

. - “ I_n state politics the Republicans
continue to experience unbounded con-
fidence of success for next fall, and, as
a result, there is no lack of material
for candidates. From present appear-
ances the Republican nomination for
Congress in this district will go either
to Gov. Bulkeley or exomayor Dwight.
The latter has a natural taste for poli-
tics, and the same is so true of the for-
mer that it doesn’t need restatiug. To
go on_the wave and carry this import-
ant district would be equivalent to a
political resurrection for, the ex-Gov.
In the New Haven district they are dis;
cussing in the Republican papers vari-
ous Naugatuck valley manufacturers,
but when the fall comes, if they decide
to beat Mr. Pigott, they will be likely
to think of N. D. Sperry as the man to

' do this difficult not with. The report

comes already from New Haven that
his friends have this idea in their heads.
Mr. Sperry is in full physical and intel-
lectual vigorcand the most popular
man in New Haven county. In the 3d
eastern district Russell s? suds ready to
go back if the governorship isn’t thrust
upon him, and it isn’t likely to be, and,
as said last week. there are Brandegee
and Porter in reserve if needed. In
the 4th district, now DeForest’s, old
Mr. Miles of Salisbury maybe run
again by the Republicans, but they are
more likely to take up E. J. Hill, of
Norwalk. Mr. Miles has run so often
that some of them think a change
would be good all‘around.”

The same correspondent is just as
communicative about the politics of
the capitol city as he is about state
affairs, as the following bit of alleged
fact and comment demonstrates:

As April draws nearer the city elec-'
tion grows of livelier interest, though
everything done sofar is as behind a
curtain or over a beer mug and noth-
ing definite is before the public beyond
the fact that McGovern is an openly
acknowledged candidate, full of hope
and expectation, as he was two years
ago. The papers tell of Major Dwight
or Mayor Root or Mayor Bulkeley as
likely to be chosen when the time comes
but that is considered in many quar-
ters as merely soft talk to keep the peo-
ple easy. The “workers” have no doubt
of McGovern’s nomination and the
branch of them who are nominally
democrats, have begun arranging their
As whispered
on the street it certainly does not lack
audacity, for it is described as nothing
less than to put up a man who will with
draw on the Sunday before election
and leave the democrats without a legal
ticket. The ballot law will prevent
printing one without a caucus, for
every ticket must have on it 4 the
name of the party and when Mc-
Govern and Bulkeley got up a
citizen’s party by themselves (in the
Philbri‘ck case) the courts said the tick-
ets were invalid. So with no demo-
cratic ticket and with confusion all‘
around, the republican nominee even
if his party wanted to bolt him, would
slide into office as "easy as a circus clown
down a greased pole.”

_ Dlirorced- .

A divorce case of more than the usu-
al interest was on trial in the Superior
Court Tuesday before Judge Shumway.
William H.Soden of Stamford asked
for a separation from his wife Elmira
J. Soden, on the ground of desertion.
The parties are all wealthy and well
connected. The wife is contesting-the
divorce. She claims that her husband
refused to give her enough money to
live on. On the other hand the bus-
band shows that only recently he gave
his wife $700. The couple were mar-
ried in 1868. The divorce was granted.

 

 

 

Not Bates’ Wife.

In the Superior court, at New York
Monday, Judge Freedman dismissed
the complaint of Annette F. McGrath,
and decided that she should pay costs
in the suit which she preferred against
her common law husband, Charles F.
Bates, well known in this city, for
alimony and separation.

Judge Freedman said in his decision
that “the case presents a sharp conflict
of testimony which is difficult of solu-
tion.” In reviewing the evidence His
Honor says many unpleasant things
about the plaintifi', among others that
she failed to call witnesses in her be-
half, who, if she had told the truth
could have given material evidence to
help her. The Judge says also that
as regards the evidence in the case
Annette F. McGrath did not have any
evidence worth mentioning to prove
her assertion,.while defendant’s coach-
man corroborated his testimony. The
Judge continues to declare in his de-
cision- that it is evident- Annette F. Mc-
Grath was a yOung woman of loose
morals and there was method in her
design all through her actions. In
other words, she had a view to alimony
and all that the word implies. .

Honnecker’s Cases.

It is understood that one or two of the
liquor-dealers against whom evidence
for Sunday sales was obtained by Nor-
walk “spotters” in the employ of Pros-
ecuting Agent Honneeker of Norwalk,
will be tried in the City Court Tuesday.
Officers of the Stamford Civic League
request that the fact be made public
that the League has nothing to do with
these prosecutions.

If statements made upon reliable au-

thority are true, the methods employed
in obtaining the evidence upon which
these charges are based are not calcula-
ted to excite a favorable impression
upon the mind of anybody, no matter
how earnest might be his purpose in
having the laws enforced. The “detec-
tives,” so called are amateurs, and one
of them was arrested for participation
in a drunken row soon alter the pair
returned from Stamford. Whether they
undertook the job on speculation—that
is, whether their compensation was to
be conditional upon the conviction of
the accused—is something that will
doubtless come out in the evidence be-
fore the City Court.
A rumor was afloat Monday, which,
however, could not be verified, that
some of the accused “settled” at the
rate of $63 per settlement, while others
It“ the above
is really true, it ought to be fully un-
derstood before the thing is over.

Attorney Kenealy, who is to appear
for those of the defendants who will be
tried in the City Court, went to Green-'
wich to-day. Among those for whom
warrants were issued by Lawyer Hon-
necker are : John McDevit, John Devit,
M. M. Conroy, P. Boyle, James Scan-
lon, John Ryle, J. E. Quinn, and Jos-
eph Moscof. There may be others, but

. Attempted Suicide. '
Wednesday afternoon, as-B. L. Filliow
was on his way to his home on West
Main street, his attention was attracted
by the cry of “murder” at the home of
Mrs. Alonzo Kelly on the same street.

Opposite the house Charles Gniles '
and a man named Ezekiel were at work.
Mr. Fillow summoned them, and they
were quickly on the scene.

They found Mrs. Kelly wrestling with
her brother and separated the two. It
was developed that Mrs. Kelly had be-
come suddenly insane. and grabbing a
carving knife, had attempted to kill
her brother and to commit suicide.

To prevent the carrying out of her
object Mr. Millspaugh, Who is quite
aged, endeavored to get the knife out
of her hand and was'obliged to grab
her by the threat in order to save his

life. .

,Mrs. Kelly was. finally brought under.
subjection and tied in a .chair. r.
Huntington was summoned and pre-
scribed for her. Shortly after she asked
tog 0 into an adjoining roam. Shelpassed
through the same and started up a
stair-way.- She had not gone far, how-
ever, before she ,found herself in the
grasp of Dr. Huntington, who sne-
ceeded in getting a small pocket-knife
from her hand. ’

. An opiate was then administered and .
the woman finally went to sleep. To a
GAZETTE reporter, this morning, mem-
bers of the family denied all reports
that. Mrs. Kelly had cut her threat, but

, admitted that she had inflicted a severe

cut on her hand ‘near the wrist.

It was learned by the reporter: that
for some days Mrs. Kelly has exhibited
signs of derangement. That this fact
was known to the family is endowed
by the careful watch that has been
kept “over her. , . ‘

It is understood” that she will. be tak-
e‘n to the Westport Sanitariam_ for
treatment. ‘ - .
