FOR LILLE HoYLE's MURDER.
Tom McQuade and Dixon R. Cowie In.
 dicted by the Grand Jury,

dicted by the Grand Jury.
 WORCESTER, Mass, May 10-Young Tom McQuade and Dixon R. Cowie have heen in- dicted for the murder of Lillie Hoyle by the grand jury of Worcester county. Alice Hoyle came forth from her hiding place and was brought by detective to the court house, and there repeated to the grand jury the same confession she made to District Attorney Hilt.
 Mrs. Wilhelmina Roche, of Webster, was the witness whose testimony was most inn portant. It told of the screams of woman heard by the witness about II o'clock on the night of the murder. It was after hearing Mrs. Roche's testimony that the jurors de- cided the government had made out suffi- cient case to warrant the indictment
 Alice Hoyle, it is said, was witness of the crime, being one of the parties in the buggy, and it was her shriek that was heard when the murderer's hands clasped Lilies throat. The story of the circumstances preceding the murder, and the part played in it by Alice Hoyle, McQuade and Cowie, varies from that already given only in ttis point.
 There is a feeling in Worcester that young McQuade is not likely to receive fair treat ment at the hands of the New York police. Ex-Congressman Rice, Cowie's counsel, said the government was not justified in employ ing secret methods and that young McQuads was now probably assailcd by interrogations from men who would use their experience in such cases in wringing a confession from the r,riS0per

VETOED BY GOVERNOR HILL
He Totally Disapproves of the Recently Passed New York stateE High License Bill, and Tells Why.

He Totally Disapproves of the Recently
 Passed New York stateEHigh License
 Bill, and Tells Why.
 ALBANY, May Ex-Governor Hill has vetoed the high license bill, which was re- gently passed by the legislature. In his veto message he says that the bill, although being entitled "An Act Further Regulating the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors," does not amend the general liquor laws of the state, but is an entirely distinct an independent act This, he says, is clearly objectionable, and says there is no excuse for such defective legislation.
 He then says that an excise law should be clear and explicit, and easily comprehended. The proposed bill, he says, violates this prin- ciple, and, irrespective of any other question, it is defective in form and therefore objec- tionable. It is crude, ill considered and inad- visable. In some portions of the state, es- pecially in the rural districts aud small vil- lages, the imposition es liquor license fee of not less than $500, and for ale and beer not less than S100, would, he says amount to a prohibition of all licenses.
 So long as the policy of the state prevails in favor of licenses, he says, the amounts fixed by statute should be reasonable and not excessive. He says the measure is also unfair III US QlScrlmlnaUlOnS. mere WOuld De an- other contest next year of the amendment of its sections, and in his opinion it will be bet ter to perfect and present to the next legisla- ture revised excise law which has not ths objectionable features. He says:
 "I recognize that there is much public clamor from certain quarters in behalf of the measure, and that much energy and in dustry have been displayed in manufactur- ing public opinion in its favor. If half as much activity had been expended in enforcing the provisions of the present excise law, and in inducing boards of excise to avail them selves of the opportunity to increase their license fees-ilRder -sneh law, something would almost undoubtedIy nave been accom- plished. This opportunity is open.
 "I appreciate the growing sentiment in favor of requiring higher license fees, and of throwing around the liquor traffic more re- straints, and am desirous of respecting such sentiment, as well as in every proper way CO., operating with it, but cannot consistently give my assent to an unreasonable and ex- treme measure which bears intrinsic evi- dence of its lack of careful preparation and of its want of judicious consideration

 Stamford now wants to join the state league, and has made overtures to Man ager Bullen for the Bridgeport team. The attendance at the games in this city is very light, and unless there is more in terest manifested in the team, Bridgeport will have to drop out, as the receipts have so far fallen considerably short of the ex- penses Manager Bullen, however, in tends to keep the team here short time and if they are supported, it will play on the Barnum grounds the rest of the season. If the attendance does not increase, the team will probably be transferred to Stam- ford before the end of next week.-Bridge- port Farmer.
