Buying Historical Chairs,

An incident of Gen. Sheridan's visit to Europe during the Franco-Prussian war is omitted from his article in the Novem- Der Scribner's, perhaps, through ignor- ance of the facts. When the general reached Berlin he asked the American minister to recommend to him some young American, who could speak Ger man Huently, to act as an interpreter. The minister recommended Mir. Charles F. MacLean, better known to New Workers as police commissioner than as an interpreter. and he followed Gen. Sheridan through the r-.mpaign. The general relates in SCripner's how Bis marck the great and Napoleon the little sat on rude woodez. chairs in front of a cottage near Sedan, discussing the situ- ation, and there is picture showing the two men, one triumphant, the other downcast, in the peasants garden. A few days later Gen. Sheridan dined with Bismarck, who began to talk of the sur render. That meeting," said the Prus- sian chancellor, twill be historical. I sent over yesterday and bought those two chairs from the peasant for ten francs apiece; now I have them as mementoes; and I suppose" he added, with a laugh, ''the English will go on buying those chairs for years to come" /" There was a general laugh at this re- mark, but one officer had more to laugh at than the others, and gave his reasons to MT. MacLean afterward. "You see" :" he said, ''I knew as well as Bismarck that the meeting would be historical, so the very nextday rode over myself and got the chairs for five francs for the pair.

Is McGRATH A CONSTABLE

Three Cases Against Him Heard Be-
 fore Judge Bradstreet To-Day.
 The cases against James J. McGrath for assault, blackmail and obtaining money under false pretenceS were heard before Judge Bradstreet this morning. The first complaint was nOlled and de- cision in the other two was reserved for a week to give Judge Bradstreet an op- portunity to look up some fine points of law involved. A misunderstanding be- tween James a1.d Philip Trepanier and an Italian with an unpronounceable name who works in Plume & Atwood's, which one of the Trepanier boys was the cause of the trouble into which McGrath has fallen. Several weeks ago McGrath, upon complaint of the Italian, went to Plume & Atwood's where the Trepaniers are also employed and placed the younger boy John under arrest for as sault. The boy settled the case for S25, which was paid by his mother About two weeks ago McGrath served a paper upon another of the Trepanier boys, in behalf of the Italian, ordering him to ap- pear before Justice Lawrence to answer to a complaint. The boy did not want to go to court and paid McGrath S45 in settlement of the case. The selectmen stable several weeks ago and the prose cution claims his action in settling the Trepanier cases leaves him liable to criminal prosecution. In his own de- fence McGrath claims that the select | men had no authority to revoke his ap- pointment as constable, he having had the advice of Judge Cowell and Attor- neys Root, Lowe and Judd upon the matter.

THE ESCAPED CONVICT
Believed to be Headed for the Nauga-
 tnoly Vanav

tuck Valley.
 A man answering the description of Kenney, who escaped from state prison Sunday night, called at house in Mer- iden on Monday morning between and 10 o'clock. He asked in a low voice for something to eat, which was given him. He appeared to be in great fear. His nose was scraped, probably the result of his escaping. He kept one hand in his pocket, using the other to put the food in his pocket. This might be the hand that had the India ink mark upon it. His old coat was soaked from the rain, and he looked jaded, as if he had been walking all night. His hair was cropped close, his face pale, and the lady says he appeared to be freckled, but it might have been smallpox pits. Chief Ford of Meriden thinks Kenney is in hiding in that city until the search is over, when he will take the Waterbury railroad tramp through the Naugatuck valley and into Bridgeport. his former home; and if he has no friends there he may put for New York. The prison authori- ties have offered S100 reward for his capture.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Governor Will Positively Sign
 the Swift Communication Bill.

The Governor VIII Positively Sign
 the Swift Communication Bill.
 HARTFORD, April 3.-When house bill No 190, ,an act to prohibit the sounding of railroad whistles in Waterbury, between the hours of 10 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m., came up yesterday after noon, Chairman Brown of the railroad committee rose and explained why the committee had reported un- favorably on Representative O'Neills bill.
 The statutes require that at every crossing the engineer should blow his whistle or ring the bell. The bill he thought never ought to have come be- fore the committee but the petition should have leen made to the railroad commissioners who had full power to act in the matter. The committee had been unanimous in rejecting the bill and he hoped the house would vote to sus- tain this report.
 Mir O'Neill did not know why there was not just as good reason for the general assembly passing judgment on the bill as it had on 800 other bills that other commissions and courts could have acted upon. It is true that the railroad commissioners have the power to decide whether the engine whistles shall be blown in Water bury or not. but the general assembly has the same power to decide. The reason the petition was not brought be- fore the commissioners was on account of the expense of employing lawyers, calling witnesses, etc.
 After further debate a vote was taken, the bill was rejected and the report of the committee accepted. Holden of Derby moved to table the bill for future action but the motion was lost and the engines in Waterbury will continue to annoy invalids and keep good people awake when they should be wrapped peacefully in the arms of Morpheus. For the first five days there has been a good deal of speculation whether Gov ernor Bulkeley would sign the Swift petition and save the murderer from the gallows. There has been considerable pressure brought to bear upon the gov ernor to have him veto the resolution of communication, but there is Lot the least possibility of his doing so. One of Swift's lawyers informed a DEMOCRAT correspondent this morning that the governor would sign the petition to-day. | This morning fourteen representatives from Middlesex county called on the governor and asked him to veto the Swift petition but it is understood that he stated he had already made up his mind to sign it and should do so.
 The following were appointed by the speaker to attend the inauguration cer- emonies in New York on the 30th Messrs Sheldon, Allen, Glover, O'Neill, Beardsley, Bell, Brainard Converse, Hammer. Brown, Chichester, Day, Sawyer, Taylor and Pinney.

Look Ont for the Buzz Saw.

A folded sheet iron newspaper Gmita- tion), designed for those proving and do not belong to them, is an innovation that will be hailed with delight by all honest newsdealers. The paper contains a rat trap attachment and buzz saw, which is worked by concealed machin- cry, duly and properly wound up in the morning. A tramp or dishonest person bouncing on the newspaper sets the ma chinery in motion; the iron jaws of the rat trap close over the hand of the thief, and the saw gets in its fine work with the most discouraging effect on the kleptomaniac.-SanF Francisco Argonaut.

Our Court Accommodations.

The representatives from New Haven county met yesterday to discuss Mir O'Neill's proposition to provide at coun- ty expense suitable court accommoda- tions in the city. After some discussion and explanation, during which it was hinted that the bill should be fixed to make Litchfield coun- ty pay it's share of the expense as the district court has juris- diction over part of that county, it was decided to ask the judiciary com mittee to delay action on the bill.

 So much has been said and written about the distinguished tragedian who IS to occupy the boards of the opera house on Thursday night, that almost any praise uttered in his behalf seems to have the flavor of age, but after all it is often true that ''old things are best" and 1t Is pleasure to recall the good points of old and popular friends. Mir Keene is noted not only for the wonderful gen. 1us displayed i'll his own powerful DOT trayals, but for the excellence of the company which always surrounds him. his beautiful and correct costumes and for the close attention paid to all the minor details of stage management that add so much to the perfection of per formance. Keene Is hard student and an indefatigable worker and richly de- serves the great success which he has at tained. An exchange says Mir Thomas w. Keene played 'sRichelieu" at Harris Academy of Music last night before a large and sympathetic audience. Mir Keenes work shows deep study and a firm determination on his part to excel His performance was highly artistic and very enjoyable. It deserves much praise and very little censure. The lat ter must be visited upon those parts of the play where the physical weakness of the cardinal momeI tarily gains the mas tery over him.

before they published it! The price paid for
it originally did not exceed $40. We mention
these facts for the simple purpose of showing
that the popularity which Mr.. Riley justly
enjoys has not in any way been brought
about by the patronage or the cooperation
of the Harpers.
TIE Century Magazine did not recognize

We were lately told by gentleman who
bad been on a visit to Massachusetts, of
sad case which illustrates how thoaghtlGssly
parents will sometimes invite their children
to their death. Two children lay dead Of
diphtheria in Maiden, and their parents sent
to North Arlington for their third and only
remaining child, a promising young man,
clerk in a drug store, to como home TO the
funeral He went home, took the disease and
died. We admire the courageous impulse
with which a young man hurls himself into
the sea to save a drowning brother or sister,
and have no words Of disapproval for the pa
rent wac permits him to do so, especially if
he can swim. But to call n child to his death,
as in the instance above-we have no words
of condemnation for the stricken parents, but
there ought to be strong and healthy public
sentiment that would hold back a parent or a
child from so rash an act. Diphtheria is a
disease which is liable in any case to be ter
rible in its malignity, against which we have
no protection, only to keep away from it.
The young man, if he were newly vaccinated,
might have faced small pox with impuuity
but the young person, especially the child,
who comes within the infected area of Siph-
iberia takes his life in his hands Sanitary
Inspector.
