The First Woman Postmester,

She was the widow of Col. Andrew Balfour of those revolutionary times in the days of our good and great president, Washington. She was a Miss Elizabeth Dayton, of Newport, R. I. Balfour came to America from Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1772. landing at Boston. He was few years in the North-married Miss Dayton in New York city. In 1777, he sailed for Charleston, but the distracted state of the country induced him to leave his wife and her children with relations in New Eng land until he could prepare Southern home for them, but soon after this the wave over the Carolinas, and her husband cast in his lot with the defenders of the the home of his adoption North Caro- lina); but he soon fell victim to the barbarity of Q party of royalists led by Col. Fannin, British officer, who mur- dered Balfour in his house in the pres once of sister and his eldest child
 Soon as Mre. Balfour heard of her hue- bands tragic death, she hastened South, coming in cnre Of Gen. Greene, who land ed at Washington. Prom thence 1t was a tedious trip through ths country to the home in Randolph county, where her noble husband was murdered. As the country was still unsafe, Mrs. Balfour deemed 1t improper to live upon the plan tation. With sorrow she turned away from the sad resting place, and went to Salisbury until she could return to the spot 20 dear to her.
 While resting in Salisbury, President Washington appointed her postmisrress, which position was filled with entire sat isiaction, and when her accounts were audited, she was only one-half a cent be- hino.-Sunny South.

NEW uAvEN's LATEST SENSATION

John J. Clerkfn Arrested For Se-
 rious Ofense-Two of the Board of
 Selectmen Become His Sureties-
 He Says He Is Innocent and Can
 Prove It.
 NEW HAVEN, June 4.-JOhn J. Clerkin, clerk of the board of selectmen, was ar rested in the office of the town agent about 8 o'clock last evening. The com plaint alleges that since the first day of January, 1888, he has been in the en- ploy of the selectmen; that he caused to be drawn to the order of Elizabeth Chat field or bearer one order for the sum of $4, and that Clerkin at that time had knowledge that Elizabeth Chattield was an inmate of the almshouse and was not entitled to receive any money; that he delivered said order to some person to the city attorney unknown. April he drew a similar order and made entry on books that he had delivered the order to her when he had not done so. He re- peated this May 4. The writ also alleges that January he prepared an order on the treasurer of the town of New Haven payable to the order of Myra Goodsell and that he knew she had died October 2S. It is also alleged that Hannah J. Smith from July 1, 1888, to November 1, 1888, had not asked for aid although she had asked and received aid prior to July 1, and that August IT, 1888, Clerkin drew an order for $4 payable to said Hannah, and that he gave this order to some party unknown and that he made false record of this order. He Is charged with similar offense regarding Robert Donaldson, who died February 5, and that Clerkin was notified of his death the following day.
 The selectmen held a special meeting last night at which MT Clerkin was pres ent. Acting under advice of his counsel he declined to make a statement, but asked for the appointment of commit tee of investigation. During the meet ing Clerkin was placed under arrest and was taken to the police station where Selectmen Klenke and Cooper became his sureties in the sum of $1 ,5OO. MT Clerkin declares he is innocent of all the charges preferred and shall be able to prove it. He feels not so much for him. self as for his wife and child upon whom the blow will fall heavily.
 Shortly after o'clock Mrs Andrew J. Callahan was arrested and brought to the police headquarters. She is charged with having stolen orders from the town | agents office last Friday.
 MT Clerkin's method of working, ac- cording to his accusers, was as follows He kept lot of order blanks signed in his drawer and on Friday, the day for giving out orders to the poor, he would make out number in the names of parties above mentioned. Mrs Andrew J. Callahan would call to get an order ] for a relative and would be given a
 batch, which she would have cashed at the First national bank.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.
Important Business Transacted
 the Capitol To-day


 HARTFORD, June 4.-The railroad committee brought in two reports on the petition of the New York and Connecti- cut Air Line railroad for an extension of time for the construction of the road. The majority report was unfavorable and the minority favorable to the prayer of the petitioners.
 The resolution appropriating $25, ,OOO for the Pennsylvania sufferers was sent directly to the secretary of state under a suspension of the house rules.
 The following new business was ad- mitted, being a resolution offered by MT Glover of Fairfield: Resolved, the She ,, paug, Litchfield and Northern Railroad company may upon complying with all the requirements of the statutes of this state upon the subject of the consolida | tion of railroad companies consolidate | It's capital, franchises and property with the capital stock, franchises and property of railroad company to be organized under the laws of the state, and to run from and between Hawleyville in the town If Newtown to Saugatuck i'll the town of Westport and, upon such con alterations being effected, said Cor soli- dated company shall have all the powers and be subject to all the limitations and restrictions which said laws or the gen. eral statutes confer or impose upon Con- 1 SOlldated railroad companies. The fesO- lution was referred to the committee on railroads.
 MT Hall, of Stratford, offereda resolu- tion making an amendment to the con- stitution providing for an increase of senators to 35 and the redistricting of the state. The resolution was lost.
 There was a long debate when the bill came up changing biennial to annual sessions of the legislature. A motion was made to indefinitely postpone which was lost. The vote was then taken on the main question and the house decided by vote of 80 to 74 not to go back to annual sessions.
 The senate passed the grade crossing bill after amending it so that it provides that the railroad company shall pay 70 per cent and the state 25 per cent for abol- ishing the grade crossings. Several amendments were tackled onto it so that the bill is entirely changed from that of the original. @

heroic manner in which it meets all such
problems, that is, in the spirit to do the best
for the whole body pOlit C without regard to
expense; nor should this objection have much
weight, when the facts are considered.
And now. few words in regard to the
convict. So far as | have been enabled to
ascertain the sense of those who have given
this matter any thought. it is as follows:
They want employment. and would like it
to be of such kind as will enable them to
earn an honest living when restored to lib
erty; they would like their employment to
be of such nature as will conflict the least
with outside labor; they would like syS-
tenn established which would allow of the
introduction of measures of a refOrmatOry
and educational influence; they would like
to participate in their earnings, so that
when discharged they could seek honorable
employment and thus place themselves be-
yOnd the temptation to relapse into crime.
They are not responsible for the present
condition of things. and were not nstru-
mental in bringing it about. The impression
seems to prevail in some quarters. that we
have have been eating the bread of idleness;
such is not the case. Thanks to the fore
sight and prudence of the officials in charge
nearly all have been employed to some ex
tent since the abolition of the contract sys-
tenn. In view of this fact, and taking into
consideration that the employment was of
such nature as to endanger life and limb,
spite Of the utmost precautions. there are
many of the opinion that the legislature
should enact bill of retroactive nature.
continuing their good conduct earnings
from the time OF the suspension of the con-
tract system until we can again be en-
plOyed at such work as they may decide
upon. The cost of such measure would
be insignificant compared with the benefit
that the state would be likely to derive
from it in the prevention of crime that
would probably follow the turning loose
upon the community. men with insufficient
means to enable them to subsist until they
had secured employment. TAMMANY.
