AP WHITNEY LAKE.

A Raid by Hamden COnstabIes on
Sunday Skaters-The Pond Cleared
An Eloquent GentIenaanss FruitIess
Appeal.
On Sunday the skating at Lake Whitney
was very good. 1t had been good on Satur-
day and the fact was pretty generally known
intown, and on Sunday many 'hoodlums with
or without skates went out to the lake de-
ternnined having fun. Also not few
well dressed and well behaved young men
and some active and fond fathers, accompan-
led by the boys, went out. There was a
good sized party, though rather scattered, on
the ice late in the Afternoon. The harum
scarum element, some on skates and some
not on skates, commenced hooting at the
passers by and at carriages passing and ere
ated racket generally. Then it was that
the arm of the law interposed. Two Ham
den constables made their appearance on the
ice and quietly but firmly notified all they
met to depart or take the consequences.
There was some murmuring and expostula-
ting and some fractions behavior, but the
Iawless element soon saw that the eonstables
meant business and the quiet portion of the
skaters were also notified and before long the
lake was cleared and Sunday quiet reigned
again. One prominent New Haven gentle
man, whose voice has been heard in public
assemblies of the most enlightened descrip-
ton in this and many other parts of the Union,
arrived with two boys and was about to
buckle on the skates when the officers warn
ed him to desist. The gentleman remon-
strated in tones that have thrilled his audi
ences, and intimated, it is said, something re-
gar6ing Dogberry or dogmatisln, but without
effect upon the obdurate constables, and the
learned gentleman at last gracefully sub
mitted and took the next car for home with
his young charges.

amount of labor, which at all times was a

that he has had thousands under his charge,
many of whom are now grown to maturity
and all recollect him their superintendent.

Two RUNAWAY GIRLS.

They Refuse to Go to school and Come
to This City-LOcRed Up at Police
Headquarters.
Two pretty girls, richly dressed, who are
said to be the daughters of wealthy New
York people, were taken from Mrs. Williams
boarding house, No. 90 Olive street, yester-
day afternoon and lodged in the station
house. One of them is fourteen years of age
and the other sixteen. The girls are cousins
and have been attending convent school at
Southport. They We're not pleased with the
restraints of the school and after returning
home to spend the holidays they strongly OBJ
jected to returning to the school and finally
refused to do so. Their parents refused to
yield and started them for Southport on Sat
urday, but instead of stopping there they
came through to this city and went to Mrs
Williams to board, and there they were
found by the brother of one of them, a. New
York detective and Detective Brew
CT. The girls defed their brother
and the detectives and refused
to either return home OF go back to school
After urging and pleading with them with
out avail they were locked up. They took
their imprisonment very coolly. The girls
were so determined that it was thought not
best to attempt to take them to New York
by force. Neither of the girls would reveal
their names and their brother declined to do
so. The landlady where they boarded also
asserted that she did not know their
names. The police also declined to give the
desired information out of respect to the feel
ings of the parents Of the girls.
After remaining in the lookup until nearly
6 O'Clock the girls concluded that police ac-
commodotions were not as good as they were
at home. There were no sofas, stuffed
chairs or tete-a-tetes to recline upon and no
beds of down to sleep upon, and with the
prospect before them of remaining within
the dreary prison walls until morning they
finally yielded. The brother and the detec-
tive accompanied them to the depot shortly
after O'Clock, and the party took the 6:22
express train for New York All efforts
made by the reporters to ascertain the names
of the young ladies proved unavailing to the
last.

Harrison Tells The True Story Of TIL.
Killing Of da BrOkEn

Martin v. Harrison, who was tried in
Hartford for the murder of Ada Brown and
found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced
to State prison for seven years, has made a
confession since the trial in which he confess
es that he alone did the deed He saws in
concluding his confession that the idea of
killing Ada had never entered his mind; he
merely wanted to injure her. He processes
sorrow for her death, but believes it is better
for her little girl, who is properly cared for
Harrison has figured it out that he will have
to stay at Wethers6eld but little over five
years, reckoning on the good behavior allow
ance. He expresses himself as satisfied with
the manner in which his counsel handled his
case in court, and says he will go n.the stand
when Gregory is tried again and tell the
whole story, not from motives of hard feel
ing, but because it is his duty. Harrison adj
mits that Gregory took no part in the quarrel
between himself and Ada and that the cut
ting was done with the small blade of the
knife.

they fondly imagine to be an equivalent.
