John D. Hale, a Hairlford trolley
road empl yee, was knocked seNSeless
and badly'ipjured, yesterday, by a car
which struck him as he was leaning
from the 'car on which he was riding.
The earnings ofthe Bridgeport Trac-
tion company as they are reported show
how popular the trolley rides are.
They are reported for the week ending
July 21, 1895, $7,407; same week, 1894,
$2,530; increase, $4,877; for three weeks
ending July 21, 1895, 822,245. same
weeks 1894, $7,462; increase 314,483.
How dear to our heart is the old sil-
ver dollar, when some kind subscriber
presents it to view; the liberty head
without necktie or collar. and all the
strange things that to us seem so new;
the wide spreading eagle, the arrows
below it, the stars and the strange
things they tell; the coin of my fathers,
we’re glad that we know it, for some
time or other ’twill come in quite well
-—the spread eagle dollar, the star-
spangled dollar, the old silver dollar we
all love so well.

INSOLBNT SPAIN.
fine of Her Warships Stopped an Ameri-
can Vessel \Vhich \Vas Heavlng To. ‘
BREAKWATER, Del., July 26.—The
American schooner Carrie A. Lane was
fired upon by a Spanish man-of-war on
July 14, and one of the schooner’s crew
narrowly escaped being killed by a. cannOn
shot. Two solid shots Were fired direct at
the schooner. The vessel was made to
heave to and give an account of herself
before being allowed to proceed. _
The schooner was off Cape Antonio,
fully 120 miles from the coast of Cuba.
and making good time before a still
breeze, when on the 14th inst., shc sighted
a steamer flying the Spanish flag follow-
ing her. Captain Quick of the Carrie A.
Lane at first paid no attention to the
stranger, but after an hour or so noticed
that she was signaling him to stop. He
then examined her more closely, but could
only make out that she was a small gun-
boat. v
While he was trying to guess why she
Was following him a pufi‘ of smoke curled
up over the steamcr’s port bow, and a
round shot Whistled uncomfortably close to
the schooncr’s mainmast and plunged
into the water on the lee quarter.
Captain Quick gave the order to haul
in sail and bring the vessel to, and while
this was being done one of the crew ran
out on the bowsprit; As he stood there
the gun on the Spanish warship boomed
again and another shot sped on its way
toward the American craft, this time com-
ing so close to her that the sailor on the
bowsprit swears he distinctly felt the
wind caused by its rapid flight.
The Lane soon came to a dead stop, and
the . gunboat drew up under her quarter.
A boat was lowered, and four Spanish
marines under the command of a lieuten-
ant in the Spanish navy came aboard.
They were fully armed, and their leader
very civilly lifted his cap and demanded '
to know from what port the Lane had
sailed and whither she was bound.
Captain Quick gave the required in-
formation and produced his clearance pa-
pers in proof of his assertions. No further
search was made, and the vessel was per-
mitted to continue on her course without
further molestation. Captain Quick says
that he could not get the name of the gun-
boat, although he tried to do so. . _
He adds that after the first shot was
fired at the Lane he caused the stars and ,
stripes to be hoisted at the peak, but the
only response the Spanish vessel made to
this was a second shot.
The gun t did not hoi
until after t first shot was

Governor Morton Will Commute Her Son-
: tenée at the Proper Time. '
NEW YORK, July 26.—An afternoon pa-
per asserts that it has positive assurance
that at the time Marian Barberi was con-
victed it was understood in official circles
that her sentence was-to bc commuted.
The plan agreed upon .was that after the
sentence of death was passed upon the un-
fortunate woman a petition would at once
be presented to the governor for its com-
mutation; that the governor would there-
upon rcfer the legal aspect of the question
toRecorder Goff; that the recorder would
acquiesce in {he object of the petition, and
that the governor would thereupon com-
mute thc sentence. ~
This course would undoubtedly have
been adopted at- once and the girl might
now be serving a life sentence in prison
had not new Counsel been employed and
an appeal instituted. - '
Govcrnor' Morton feels that he should
not interfere so long as the case isbefore
the courts. but when the proper time
comes, provided there is not a new trial
with a different result, it can safely be
said that the governor will commute the
sentence, whether one petition or a thou-
sand are before him.
A surprising feature of the case is the
suggestion that the condemned girl is to
become a. mother. If this is true, it is
thought that the fact would have been
made known during the trial. but still it
is possible that the girl, even when her
life was at stake, allowed her natural im-
pulse to keep from the judge and jury a
secret which might have saved her.
If she was in the condition suggested at
the time she drew the razor across Catal-
do’s throat, there would be more reason
perhaps to eoucludc that she was irre-
sponsible, and in any event the, jury would
hardly, under the circumstances, have
brought in a verdict of murder in the first
degree.
Letters appealing for mercy continue to
pour in on Governor Morton, and peti-
tions are being signed at an almost un-
paralleled rate.
TORONTO WANTS HOLMES.
The Proceedings For Extradition \Vill Bo
Begun Immediately.
TORONTO, July 26.—In accordance with
the finding of the coroner’s jury in the
Pitczcl murder case, Attorney Dewart
laid verdict and warrant before the attor-
ney general’s department today, and pro-'
ce'edings for extradition of Holmes will be
at once entered upon. Every effort will
be made to have Holmes tried in this city.
The evidence of murder is much stronger
here than anywhere elsewhere ho is want-
ed, and chances of his swinging from a
scaffold in York county jailyzxrd are good.
It is thought here that Toronto’s claims
will have precedence with Philadelphia’s
authorities over those of Chicago. The
tenant of the cottage in which murder
was done has found a small piece of ma-
terial, apparently a portion of what has
been a light colored waist and scarlet hair
string, knotted as though it had been
pulled from a plait of hair. This furnishes
still another proof of positive identifica-
tion of the bodies as those .of Alice and
Nellie Pitezcl. ,4,

The address asserts that a‘vast.;majority

ocrats, and that the restoration of silver

And, His Second Letter Given After He Had Made a.
Thorough Examination of the Sentinel Edition
of Britannica.
_
We submit here Dr. I‘uuning’s firstletter to THE SENTINEL, which is as follows :
SOUTH NORWALK, CONN., June 17, 1895.
Editor: Evening Sentinel :—I have examined this new edition of this most complete
and exhaustive of all Encyclopedias, and regard it as now superior to all others in cheapness
and excellence. The new addition on American subjects thoroughly supplement this
original edition.
Rev. Homer N. Dunning. D. D.
After this letter was written for the Sentinel the value of this edition of Britannica
was questioned by published opinions. The Sentinel then supplied Dr. Dunning with a
complete set of our books. He has spent some time in making a thorough examination of
the set, and we now submit the following letter from him, which is a frank expression of his
opinion at the present time. This should satisfy the most. doubtful person, and if anything
of a damaging nature should be said in the future of the Sentinel edition of Britannica it
should be looked upon with suspicion.
_ Editor Sem‘imh—At your request I have made a fuller and more careful examina-
tion of this edition Of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and I am-confirmed in my former
impressions of its qualities.
I have used the eighth and ninth editions of the original for
thirty years and of its excellence 'there is no question, and whatever deficiences exist between
thisedition and the British edition seem to me to be well supplied by the American addi-
tions, many of which are written by men of tlzefirst authority in their several departments. I
Will add that a shadow of prejudice against this edition, which had been cast by some crit-
,cisms I. have read, has been removed by a closer examination.
Anyone who acquires this
great work which you are offering to your readers Will find it an inexhaustible treasury of
knowledge.
4 South Norwalk, July 8, 1895.
Homer N. Dunning.
After receiving the°above the Sentinel, for its own satisfaction, asked Dr. Dunning
the following questions:
“ Do you now consider this edition of Britannica of as much value as the original
Ninth Edition?
He replied, “ I do; and I’ve practically said so in this letter.”
“ Do you consider a condensed encyclopedia, in any form, of fmor'e value than this
new edition of Britannica to a
family Who owns but few books and who are unwilling or
unable to buy books on all topics?”
In reply to this Dr. Dunning said:
“ You may say that, in my opinion, the great ma-
jority of people wouldnndoubtedly find the Encyclopedia Britannica by fa. the most valu.
able investment, espemally if the condensed work was to 00le an equal amount of money.»
