 NEW YORK, May la.-Mrs Lillian E. Sco- field has been released from custody. Mir Nicoll asked for her discharge on the ground that she was held in the house of detention on suspicion of committing crime. and further that the form of the commitment as mace out by the coroner, was incorrect He also held that the commitment was illegal Mir Iindsley, for the district attorneys office said that tho district attorney agreed that the woman had been illegally detained, and without looking further into the case, Judge Lawrence announced that Mrs Scofield was discharged.
 Unless further testimony is presented which may appear to connect the woman more closely with the death Of Mir. Hatch she will be let alone as far as the coronexss office is concerned But the grand jury is yet to be satisfied that she was not instrumental in causing the death
 Another chapter of her alleged history came to the coroner yesterday in a letter from San Francisco, written in a woman's hand
 It accuses her of having been at one time an inmate of a disreputable house, and al- leses thet she was several times arrested for petit larceny. It also says that she once tried to kill her sister

A Spring Announcement.

If you are desirous of making yourselves and friends happy, get just as many tickets as possible on those elegant Shoninger Pianos offered as an induce ment to trade, by the Waterbury Boot and Shoe Go. Edward J. Finn, and Reed & Go. At the same time it is not best to really believe you are going to hold the lucky numbe. until you are certain. Therefore do not delay purchasing but call at our store and see how low and on what easy terms the best known pianos in Waterbury can be bought. Merchants desire the best Id most popular piano in order to improve tbeir trade. They cannot afford to pat:oo'-e small dealers, that is the reason tbey )! = the Shoninger. Gus toners are :n like .anner saved dollars by our method O.: reaching the purchaser from first hands only. Small dealers who are begging here, there and everywhere for pianos to sell on any terms and prices, paving twenty-five per cent for the priv ile1e of doing business, cannot be ex- nected to successfully compete with man. nnfacturers. Beware of the agent who runs down his neighbors' goods. It is always nositiye proof that the article in question has merit. If it had none no effort would he reouired to keep 1t down and no abuse necessary. So when an agent tells you the Shoninger is no good, just investigate and see how soon we can prove that the aoents has, to prt it mild, departed from truth. E. SHoNINGER & Co.

NUTMEG GRATlNGS.

An unknown Italian laborer was struck by an outgoing train from New Haven about 7 o'clock last night, near East Haven He was picked up and brought to Branford and sent to New Haven. Later in the evening he was taken to the hospi- tai. His wounds are considered fatal.
 Joseph G. Hubbard, aged 36, committed suicide at his home in Sufield Thursday by cutting his throat with a razor. He had been at work in the morning on his farm, but for several days had not seemed right in his mind and his wife had kept something of watch over his actions. But about noon, while she was absent from the room he committed the rash deed.
 Miss Agnes Murray, of Bridgeport, is very eccentric. About year ago sh bought house on Madison avenue for $G5, 1000 and immediately closed it up, allowing no one to live in it. She is very fond of telling what belle she was in her youth and how she danced with the British minister at state ball in Washington. Now, she frequently wears calico dress in winter. She has charming way of inviting friends to visit her country place and permitting them to walk four miles from the station, although she has stable full of horses and carriages"

THE LATEST CRAZE.

A Virginia Reel on Horseback in 4-Paw's
 "Wild West.''
 Quietly sandwitched between blood curdling, hair r-raising deeds in the "Wild West" department of the Forepaugh show, which exhibits i'll Waterbury, Monday, June 4, is refreshing little act that catches on finely with the audiences. Four stalwart, bronzed and dashing cowboys, and like number of rosy-cheeked, fair eyed, rugged western girls participate in the most novel equestrian display extent. Mounted on their swift-footed little bron- chos, they actually execute all the move ments of the old-fashioned Virginia reel, to music furnished by Bugle Bills cowboy band. The horses seem to enjoy the sport as much as their riders, and, all in all, it is a merry and charming sight. There is a treeziness, subtle flavor of the wild western prairies about this unique act that is peculiarly captivating. Already the Virginia Reel on Horseback" has become fashionable craze, and ill many of the larger cities it is regularly performed by votaries of society at lawn parties.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

A Derrick Falls and Injures a Man-An
 Electric Current Tells Horse.
 A very peculiar accident happened at il a. m. yesterday in the Derby cut at the lower end of Main street in Ansonia. The cap of derrick that was unloading stone gave way and let the derrick fall upon George Warner, who was unable to get out of reach. He received severe scalp wound but Dr Conkling thinks that he will re- cover, as the skull is not injured. As the derrick fell it caught the wires of the electric road and frightened James Carloe's horse. In jumping for the reins Carloe caught the wire and, standing on the ground, current was at once formed. Carloe's yells brought help. It took several men to pull him from the wire, but it is proved that the wires are not so fatal as those of the electric lights. And finally the current ran along the rail of the track and felled horse twenty feet away.

the American flag was seen in every port. All this had been changed; partly it was caused by the substitution of the iron vessel for the wooden vessel; but largely caused by system of location which rendered it impossi- ble for an American to carry on trade with 8 foreigner.
 Mr. Breckinridge then saidi
 'The annual freight paid on our foreign trade to foreigners has been variously esti- mated from SAC, ,O0O, 900 to $200, ,000, 900. This enormous annual tax now paid to foreigners ought to have been ours, and the aggregate sum which we have thrown away in our self ish folly since 1865 is much larger than our public debt. Since 1866 the decay has gonc on under the protective system. We can hope for no relief from it.n
 MT. Breclkinridge then went into long argument, showing the advantage that would accrue from @ policy of free trade, and in conclusion said;
 Seventy per cent. of the cotton which England turns into finished product and sells all over the habitable globe grows upon American soil. Her annual increase of receipts over the price that she pays us for cotton is not less than SIPS, ,0O0, 900. Now this profit from the manufacture of this cotton should be ours. Our citizens ought to take this raw material raised in our fields, turn it into the finished product in factories owned by American capital, where American opera tlves receive the wages that would be just proportion of the profit of the labor.
 'The legislation of the country, having for its object the public good, and freed from the domination of private greed, would success fully grapple with the problems which prog ress will present, and free people be repre- sented by free representatives, neither owned, seduced, nor terrified by organized interests.
 The applause which had been literally in- terspersed throughoutI MT. Breckinridge's speech, grew into storm when that gentle man concluded and took his seat Cheer followed cheer, the ladies in the galleries way ing their :handkerchiefs, and MT.

BLAINE AND THE NOMINATION..

Doubt as to What He Would Do in
 Case He Was Unanimously Named at
 Chicago-No Attempt to Boom Him
 Before tho Convention.
 PITTsBURG, May 19.-B. F. Jones, chair man of the Republican national committee, returned from the east last evening. He says: "Mr. Blaine will not write another letter, affirming or withdrawing his declination; at least see no reason why he should. That was intended as final.
 "I believe that Mir. Blaine would have been nominated by exclamation if he had not withdrawn from the field. do not know what MT. Blaine would do if he should ye- ceive a unanimous nomination by the Chi cago convention, but 1 should think that it would be hard to resist the demand of the party (which had so highly honored him. Upon the whole, think these questions are not for me, nor even MT. Blaine to answer, but for the Republican party in assembly met
 "There is no truth in the reports that a few of MT. Blaine's close friends have had con- certed action for the purpose of putting him forward again as candidate, nor is there any truth in the report that MT. Blaine has relented, and would now like to have his name go before the convention. Any feeling that may exist here or throughout the coun- try which favors MT. Blaine's nomination, notwithstanding his declination, is purely spontaneous.
 'I have had conversations recently with MT. Whitelaw Reid and Mir. Elkins, but no mention was made of forcing Mir. Blaine's name upon the convention. nor was there any thing said relating to his possible candidacy, except an expression of wonder at the re- markable uprising in his favor, in spite of his letter of withdrawal I do not know that the gentlemen named have letters from Mir. Blaine that would justify them in ignoring the letter of declination. On the contrary am confident that they have not received any letters from Blaine since the date of the Florence letter which in anywise related to the politics of the country, and know that l have not
