TO END HER LIFE.
Susie Was Prevented From Jumping Out
 of the Window.

Susie Was Prevented From Jumping Out
 of the Window.
 Last evening about o'clock a woman was seen wildly waving her arms at one of the windows of the American hotel in Hartford. A number of the passers-by, who were attracted by the woman's cries and actions, were mortified to see her clutch the sash and attempt to climb out of the window. By that time the servants of the hotel had been notified, and the woman was taken from her perilous position and given in charge of Officer Gaffey, who took her to police headquarters. At the desk she gave her name as Susan Underwood, and in a voice that was almost inarticulate, owing to her drunken condition, she said that she came from Massachusetts and that one Joseph Manning had robbed her of her gold watch and some money and locked her in the room. These statements were subsequently disproved, as the watch and money were found in the bed and the servants say that the door was locked from the inside when Susie was intercepted in her lash attempt at suicide.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Shadows of a Great City"


 Shadows of Great City" is one of the most successful productions on the stage. The plot is exceedingly compact and the action brisk, while the incidents are probable as we'll as thrilling, and all the characters are true to life, particularly life in great metropolis like New York, where the scene of the drama is laid. The scenery is of remarkable beauty and pie turesqueness, while the mechanical effects are notably striking and realistic. The cast is by far the best the play has ever had Annie Ward Tiffany as Biddy Roman, part she has raised to the rank of crea- tion Miss Rose Tiffany as Annie and Helen Standish John Marshall as Tom Cooper; Ed B. Hilton as George Benson George R. Edeson as Jim Farren and w. w. Allen as Abe Nathans. At the opera house Tuesday evening.

THE REPUBLICAN PARADE.
X Terrible March of Three Hours
 Through the Mud.

Through the Muu'
 It was after o'clock when the ranks were formed for the republican parade last night. The streets were thronged with people and the local companies were be- ginning to exhibit signs of uneasiness when the clock struck nine and still the visitors did not come The trains were late, but they finally got here and the line of march was formed with the first division resting on Grand street. At 9:30 the pro cession started amid the glare of torches and the inspiring music of the bands and drum corps. There were about 2,000 men in line.
 The line of march was as follows: Down Bank to Center square, to South Main, to Benedict Sc Burnham's, countermarch to Clay, to South Elm, to Union, to Union square, to Cole, to East Main, to Cherry, to Grove, to North Elm, to Kingsbury, to Park avenue, to Abbott avenue, to North Main, to Grove, to Cook, to Buckingham, to Prospect, to Hillside avenue, to Pine, to North Willow, to Hillside extension, to Waterville road. to Johnson, to Willow, to Grove, to Prospect, to West Main, to Center square, to Church, to Grand, to State, to West Main, countermarch to armory where the lunch was served.
 The illuminations along the line were handsome and ill some places gorgeous, and rockets were set off and colored fire burned all along the route. It was long after mid night when the armory was reached and it is safe to say that there was not a man in the ranks who was sorry that the parade was over. The gorgeous and natty uni forms were ruined spattered and soiled and the torches that blazed and sputtered, so proudly a few hours before were in many instances broken and burned out. The band members wero nearly dead from ex- haustion. The parade was too long.

MURDER IN HARTFORD.
A WATERBURY '.ALL-HOT" DEALER THE '' @>< VICTIM.

John Galyin's skull Fractured by a
 BIow-His Assailant Makes His Escape
 The Victim Unconscious and Par
 aiyzed-No Hope of His Recovery.
 John Calvin, aged 20, we'll know character and unul recently vender of "all-hots" about toWp, was the victim of an apparently unprQvoked and probably fatal assault in Hartford about 1 o'clock this morning. Calvin went to Hartford Monday and engaged in the business of sell ling Frankforts. Early this morning he was stopped on Asylum street by two men, both wearing black clothing, and one hay ing on light spring overcoat. After he had sold them some sausages, the men quarreled about the price, and as Calvin persisted in claiming what was due him, the man having the light overcoat' grew angry and when Calvin was least prepared he thrust his hand into his coat pocket and took out some hard substance in it with which he struck the sausage vendor a savage blow on the left side of the head Calvin cried out in pain and then staggered back with the blood pouring from deep gash in his skull Some people who were about at the time started in chase of the men, while Officer Waller, who had bee Il called to the spot, guided Calvin towards knsley street. AS they walked Calvin left thick stream of blood behind him and when at the corner of Main street he gave gasp and then dropped to the side walk. .,.
 The officer at once sent for the patrol wagon, and on, its arrival the insensible form was conveyed to police headquarters. The wounded man lay on the floor of the station, moaning and convulsively moving his left arm until the arrival of Dr Otis who made hurried inspection of the man. The doctor found that Calvin, was suffer ing from fracture of the skull and that his entire right side was paralyzed. q.
 As quickly an possible Calvin was re- moved to the hospital where he lies ill a critical condition. He is unconscious and will probably die. It is thought he was struck with either iron knuckles or q slung shot.
 Calvin is we'll known in this city, his mother, sisters and brothers living here. He formerly drove an express wagon, but had sold Frankforts for some time before going to Hartford, making his headquar ters at South Main street saloon.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon Calvin was still unconscious and the physicians say there is no hope of his recovery. -.'.- Calvin is short of statute, with dark curly | hair. He is known as the ''dude" by the l members of the ''all-hot' profession.

No use denying it, gentle Alas for shattered hopes and prospects blasted Even whole stores imported and goods ordered expressly for the WatertOWn Fair failed to accom- plsh the desired result.
