-Turpie,s Report

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Three pen
sion yetoes were received from the
president and referred to the pen
sions committee. The m sssage ac-
companying the bill granting pen
sion to Mary A. Dougherty states
that the greater portion of the senate
committees report consists OF the petit
tion of the woman, in which she says
that her husband left her in 1865, and
has not been heard of Since She had
received pension as the widow of
Dougherty until it was discovered
that he was living in Philadel-
phia, and was himself drawing
a pension there. She had succeeded
IN getting the pension by false swearing.
The police records of her home wash
inSton) showed her to be a woman of
very bad character. Continuing, the
president says that the theory seemed to
be established that no man who had
served in the army could be a subject of
death or Of impaired health except as a
result of array service; even suicide was
traced by wonderfully curious ways to
service in the army. The adjudications
of rhe pension bureau were over
ruled IN the most peremptory
fashion by special acts Of CON
gress. The president says he
would yield to no man In desire to see
the governments defenders literally
treated Unfriendliness to the veteran
soldiers was charge easily and some
times dishonesty made. The true
soldier was good citizen, and would be
satisfied with generous, fair and equal
treatment. The pension list Of the re-
public should be roll of honor, and not 4

ROADS AND SEWERS.

An Important Meeting of Both Boards
 Held Last Night-Appropriation Re
 commented and Work Ordered Done.
 The board of road and sewer cOmmis- sioners held a meeting last evening and transacted considerable business.
 In the sewer board Chauncey Seeley was granted permission to make sewer connec- tions on Bishop street.
 In the road board the bill of S3500 pre- scented by the New York and New England railroad company as the city's share for the construction of the bridge at Fifth street was ordered tabled until the next meeting.
 E. A. Smith of the Waterbury Buckle Co was granted permission to cut down some trees i'll front of the old Grannis place on South Main street in order to remove an old building to make room for the build ing of large addition to their factory.
 Several of the residents of Baldwin street appeared before the board and com plained about the way the sidewalks are being laid on that street Tie board ordered a seven feet walk laid on the west side of that street, although in some places the walk is only six feet in width Ex Councilman Bowes urged the neces 'ity of sidewalk on both sides of the street and said that when any of the residents of the street spoke to MT Colley about it he would swear at them. He complimented the city in securing such an excellent slave driver as MT Colley, and that the only thing he didn't do was to order the residents to leave their houses. Commissioners Coughlin and Goodwin were appointed a committee to look into the matter. The board ordered 100 feet of cobble gutter laid near the residence of Chief Egan on Cherry street and another West Clay street near the residence of Sheriff Futile The following appropriations for the en- suing year were recommended: S25 600 for general repairs on the streets and $10,0 GOO for new work ard work ordered by | the common council.
 The sewer board recommended that | $3 ,0O0 be appropriated for repairing and maintaining sewers and S23 900 for new work and worG under consideration. The | boards also recommended to the common council the petition to the legislature for authority to issue paving bonds to the amount of Sl00, 900. Mayor BoughtOn told the board that the monthly pay roll had not been handed in by the street inspector. That word was sent by messenger to tell MT Colley to bring in the pay roll and he told the courier that he knew when the road boards met, that they did not meet until next week. The pay roll was not orthcoming. The necessity of filling in the race and widening the east side of ScOvilrs bridge brought up by the mayor. One hundred and fifty dollars could be saved if work was done at once, but the question arises who shall pay for it.
 The board adjourned to meet with the selectmen and talk up the matter this l evening.

JENNIE BUTTONS MISTAKE.
The Sequel to the Recent Winsted Elope-
 nsent Case.


 Ment Case.
 A Meriden Journal reporter yesterday had talk with Jennie Dutton, who recent ly eloped with Chief of Police Adams of Winsted.
 She confesses having been desperately in love with Chief Adams: despite the fact that he was a married man. Their acquaintance ripened until the gossirs talked and the culmination was the elope ment, which set the town and it's vicinity in a whirl of excitement When tn e couple left town they had no definite plans in view-their minds being wholly absorbed in locating away from the home which he had sworn to honor and which she was morally bound to respect, that their hearts might beat as one without hindrance in the sphere of illicit love.
 They wandered just where they do not state, although she admits having been to Hartford, Waterbury, Haddam, Middle town, Bristol and finally Meriden They were in Meriden October s, on which day the pair boldly stalked the streets by daylight in search of boarding place for Miss Dut- ton, who assumed the name of Susie k. Goodman and asserted that the man was her brother. Miss Dutton, alias Goodman, succeeded in finding very comfortable boarding place, where every courtesy was paid her. She opened herself to suspicion by appearing to fear seeing anyone, by keeping as secluded as possible, by not having any employment and by making most of her outdoor trips after dark Thus when the exposure came it was no surprise to some people.

1t Was With That, Says Roberts, That
 Calvin Was Killed.

Calvin Was Killed.
 Officer Maloney, who went to Columbr s at the beginning of this week to bring Souder, the man charged with killing Jack Calvin, the sausage vender, has tele graphed to the Hartford authorities that he would start with his prisoner at clock to-day.
 The police have found what they think is the weapon with which the murder was comm itted. The man Roberts said that the instrument was common pocket knife, and that Souder had thrown it into a cesspool behind the Inebriate institute building after going home. Roberts was taken to the building, and under his di- rection the place was searched, but no knife was found. Roberts still said that the knife was there, and on Tuesday an- other search was made This time they met with more success, as common ivory handled pocket-knife, with two blades one of which is broken off about half an inch from the end, was found. The police at tach great importance to this find, as not withstanding the doctors opinion, it is thought that it was a knife that killed Calvin.
 The man Roberts is still at the iail, the bail he expected would be forth-com- ing from his friends having not yet made its ADD earance.
