FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.

The Case of the Four Men Feuad
Badly injured Under the East street
Rrtdge-The COrOner's Findtns-Two
of the Men Wanted in Waterbury for
Burglary.
Deputy Coroner Pond having, it was learn
ed, last evening decided upon his finding in
the case of the four men badly hurt under
the East street bridge week or two ago, was
interviewed by a COURIER reporter
Mr.. Pond said that from all the
facts in his possession and all the Informal
ton obtainable after diligent investigation
of the case, enquiry of train hands and of
citizens and the police, he had come to the
| conclusion that Buckley fell from the bridge
| into the cut, distance of eighteen feet, re-
| ceiving thus the injuries which caused his
death. AS to the other men, their injuries it is
| believed, were caused by falls in going down
to rescue Buckley or in some other way I'M
| known The presumption Is that they were
| all in dazed and stupefed state from liquor,
| and they may have been tumbling around
| for an hour before they reached the bridge.
| McMullen and Costello are recovered from
! their injuries. Delaney has fractured arm.
| Two of the men, Costello and Delaney, are
wanted upon charge of burglary in Water
| Dury, HuIIuef they WILL PROBABLY De tdkoA
| from the hospital. The men were all hard
| cases, well known SUCH
| When asked if there was any ground fol
| thinking that Buckley was murdered the cor
oner laughed and said he guessed not. After
sitting and weighing the evidence he had
| come to the conclusion that the murder
| theory was not tenable. But little informa-
ton was obtainable as to what the gang were
about prior to getting to the bridge, as the
night was stormy and very few people were
/ about.

CHARITY AND Poox RELIEF.
Lecture by Prof. Henry w. Farnal
i'm North ShaffieId Hall.

Lecture by Prof. Henry w. Farnam
in North sheffield Hall.
Prof. Henry w. Farnam delivered lecture
on charity and poor relief before large au.
dience in the North Sheffield Hall last night
He discussed the subject frem public policy
standpoint, not meaning by that that he con.
demned all other points of view. He said
that charity was no longer virtue, but fine
art. There is remarkable difference in doing
charitable work in different cities. There is
an utter lack of agreement and everything is
at sea on this question of charity. The whole
conception of poor relief was made in Greece.
1t was not until the sixteenth century that
the laws Of Europe defined anything about
this work One cannot read history without
finding where unwise charity has done great
mischief. There was, for instance, rate
system in Europe by which the rate-payers
were taxed SO much to support the paupers
that they had to give up their land IN order
to support them. The effects of private
charity have been equally demoralizing. In
Russia the begging class began to move about.
They would start out of town in wagons all
going in different directions, agreeing to meet
at certain point. They would leave their
wagons outside the town and then
go through it begging. The cash
returns were good. Charities are
not only personal virtues, but are economical
forces. Philanthropy may destroy as well as
create. 1t is apt to create social vice. There
are those persons who are not able to help
themselves and those who are lazy and dissi-
pated. st is commonly said that poverty is
no disgrace. But it is disgrace in most
cases. There is always plenty of work for
ali. A person can lay up part of his earn
ings. There are cases where it is powerless
to prevent restitution, but they are few.
Still moro demoralizing is the police station,
where these beggars can get lodged over
night.
It is unwise and harmful to bestow charity
without investigating whether the money
does not 90 to encourage vice. The giver
should investigate the case and learn whether
it is case for charity or case of gross inn
position.
There are persons who live on charity, tell
pitiful tales and are able to work, but charity
is often given such people by people who
never stop to ask question and SO the per-
son is encouraged in his laziness and poverty.
True charity is not in blindly giving, but
in seeking out cases that are
deserving help. Charity by individuals
is generally the outcome of sentiment,
Through what agency charity shall be given
is the great question of the day. Legisla-
ton sometimes has done much to increase
and little to abolish pauperism. Private
charity is far more efficient way of work
ing than through the State by taxation. It
person who sacrifices anything to give to a
charitable case is not doing his duty unless
he first sees whether his charity will be ben
efcial or not and whether it is needed. The
who gives without doing
this makes grievous error.

DA RING BURGLARIES,

: Three stores Entered by Burglars who
Make Away with what They Can
Find.
The saloon of James Divine ON Hamilton
street, near Walnut, was burglarized Sunday
night and $15 worth of cigars, 81 worth of
plug tobacco and 81 worth of blackberry
wine were taken. An entrance was effected
by forcing the rear door of the saloon from
the hinges. The store Of James Delahanty
at the corner of Clay. and Fillmore streets was
also entered by burglars few evenings ago
and about $25 worth of goods stolen. En-
trance was gained by breaking window.
There is no clue as to who the burglars
were.
The store Of A. c. B1enner g.. Co. of No.
141 State street was entered Monday night
and the safe was opened. The burglars
entered the store through a rear window
All they found in the safe was q couple of
checks and So in change. Mr.. Blenner tsle-
Qraphed to the drawer of the checks yester-
day morning and they will not be paid. He
thinks that the burglars were persons more
than ordinarily acquainted with the store.

was not regarded as dangerous, but he was
confined to the house until he was taken with

He was Of very genial and pleasing dis

has been none printed in three years. 1t is
likely that the common council will be pc
titioned for an appropriation to print fresh
