AN UNLUCKY BREAD WINNER.
sympathy Among Police Court OFF,
cials For a Young Man Who is
Obliged by Lack of Work to Go to
Jail.
A sad case was revealed at police head
quarters last night. Dennis Mccarthy, aged
nineteen, applied to Lieutenant Wrinn for
lodgings. He said he would not object to
being sent to jail for sixty days. He had
been ledger there on two previous occasions
and under the rule he would be eligible to
go before the City court as a vagrant. He
could not procure work after a diligent
search and his lot was hard one. He once
had home in Hartford, but his parents had
died and his friends were few. Mccarthy
was allowed to remain in the lookup over the
night and will be brought before the City
court this morning.
"That's sad case" said Lieutenant
Wrinn. ''That young man seems to be
worthy and it's hardship to send-him to
jail"
Just at this time Judge Studley entered the
police Office and the case was called to his
attention. Young Mccarthy was brought
out and to questions asked by Judge Studley
said that his father and mother died about
fourteen years ago in Hartford, leaving him
an orphan. He got into difficulty and was
sent to the Meriden Reform school, where he
remained five years, after which he worked
in a factory in Hartford. Work became
slack last fall and he with others were dis
charged and he was unable to secure employ
ment. He came to New Haven and was I'm,
successful in his search for work. On
January was sent to jail by the City court
for twenty days and So. 80 costs for vagrancy
He has been out of Jail about one week and
is ready to go back there if he cannot find
work. Judge Studley questioned Mccarthy
and was favorably impressed with his story
and will endeavor to secure some Good Sa-
marian to assist the unfortunate young man
and will himself become responsible for the
mans care at charitable institution,
provided he is further satisfied that McCar-
thys case is a worthy one.
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON.
A Yale Graduate, Class of '52-A Prom
inent Family Well Remembered
in This City.
We copy from the Gazette published at
Lexington, Va, notice of the
death of Albert Sidney Johnston, son
of Colonel Johnston, who is now president
and who with his mother, Mrs Johnston,
have many friends in New Haven who will
sympathize with them in this great bsreave-
ment. President Johnston graduated at
Yale in 1862. Mrs. Johnston was Miss Rosa
Duncan, whose mother moved to Olive
street in this city many years ago Their SONS
and daughters were educated here and many
reading this article will call them to kind
remembrance.
E'Mr. Albert Sidney Johnston, only son of
Col. VIM. Preston Johnston, died of typhoid
fever in Harrisburg, Penn, on Jan. 9th,
where he was engaged in the iron business.
His father and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry st. G.
Tucker were with him. Mr.. Johnston was
well known and loved in this community and
his many friends here sympathize with the
afflicted family He was a young man of rare
qualities and of extremely fine physique, and
in personal appearance and true manliness
was like his grandfather, General Albert
Sidney Johnston. He was buried in Louis
vile, KY. Though among strangers his
warm heart and genial nature had won for
him friends, who with tender hands and low
ing hearts nursed him. His trusted friend,
Simon Cameron, jr., stood by him even unto
death, and escorted his body on its way to
the grave. Strange that the son of Simon
Cameron and the grandson the lamented
General Albert Sidney Johnston should have
been devoted friends. This shows that the
fanaticism of the North and the hot blood of
the South are reconciled, and the Union is
now one, not only of hands but of hearts"
