The Manufacture of Brushes.

FROM the Evangelist.
The manufacture of brushes" says gen.
tleman who is interested in providing employ
ment for ex-convicts, ''seems to have been es-
pecially destined by Providence to aid us in
our branch of charitable work With probably
but one or two exceptions this industry pos
sesses the unique feature of being left behind
IN the great race of mechanical improvement.
The ingenious inventor and his almost human
machinery have never circumvented the task
OF sticking the bristles in the holes prepared
for them i'll any other satisfactory way than by
hand. As the knack of doing this by hand is
easily learned. and as the demand for brushes
IS pretty constant quantity, a chance is at
forded us to supply work to men who have Just
been released from jail until they can get
Detter-paying jobs. Machinery, OF course, is
brought into use in turning out the backs and
handles of the brushes, but first-class dur
able brush is otherwise all Handmade

Prime Minister Crispi RESIGNS.

Prime Minister Crispi has resigned, fearing a
hostile vote in the Italian chamber of deputies
ON the measure providing for additional tax
alton. Such vote would have rendered it
difficult for Signor Crispi to form a new cab

ask SigRor Crispi to reform the ministry, and
that several of the present members of the
cabinet win be retained. while the others will
be CHOSEN from the party of the left.

THE BLOCKS OF FIVE LETTER.
Col. Dudley Before the United States
Commissioner I'm This City.

Judge James yesterday overruled the mo-
ton Of the counsel of Col. W. W. Dudley ask
ing that the attachment be quasl,ed issued in
the libel suit brought against the Eoening Post
publishing company, of New York city, requir-
ing Dudley to appear and testify before United
States Commissioner Hackett, In this city.
The taking of Testimony was begun late in the
afternoon at Commissioner Hackett's Office, 482
Louisiana avenue. Messrs. Everett P. Wheeler
and Lawrence Godkin, of New York city, repre-
sented the defendant, and Messrs. A. s. Worth
ington and jeremiah M. Wilson appeared for
plaintiff.
THE DEPOSITION OF COL. DUDLEY
was taken. He said that he was the person who
brought suit against the EUening Post Publishing
company for 5000 damages for libel for the
publication on the 30th day of November. 1888,
of certain letter which is set forth in the
complaint. He said that he did not think he
was acquainted with Ephraim Marsh, of Green
field, Ind, and did not remember travelling
with Mr.. Marsh on a train from Greenfield to
Indianapolis. He said that he knew Noble G.
Butler and William z. Fishback. and he also
knew them as his bitter enemies
On the advice of counsel Col. Dudley refused
to answer whether he had a confidential clerk
or not while acting as treasurer of the COM
mlttee. When Col. Dudley was shown letter
Wy Mr. UOuhln ana asked ii the signature was
his or not, at the request of Counsel Worth
lngton he declined to answer. Col. Worthing-
ton objected to the witness answering, because
the letter offered the witness was evidently mu-
tilated, and had something written upon it
which did not pertain to the original letter.
Col. Dudley then said that his counsel, George
Bliss, had advised him not to answer the ques-
tion, or any other question calling for iIifor-
nation as to what letter or letters he did write,
or to which his name was appended, other than
the one referred to in the complaint in this
case. He admitted knowing William G. Nichols,
Edward McDevitt and Endoms NJ. johnson, but
declined to say whether any of the above named
had ever seen his signature.
Mr.. Godkin declined to produce the original
letter and allow it to be annexed to the COM
mission.
The commissioner decided that proof should
be given of the copies being true photographs
of the original. and he was not authorized to
admit what purports to be copy of an exhibit
when the exhibit itself is not proved. The
commissioner, after hearing the arguments, dl-
rected the defendants counsel to produce the
sheets referred to (the originals for the pur-
pose of being attached to the deposition, and
then granted an adjournment for weeks time.

CAPTURED AFTER X CHASE.
Edward stanton Found Trying to Forcibly Enter House at

Edward stanton Found Trying to Forcibly Enter House nt O'Clock This Morning.
 Edward Stanton, young married man living on River street, was this morning bound over to the superior court under bonds of $500 to answer to a serious charge.
 For several months the family of Mrs Catherine Daily, a widow residing in the old house at the corner of South Elm and Union streets, have been annoyed and many times terrified by frequent visits in the dead of night from an un- known man, who tried to secure en- trance to the house through the win dows. The police were notified of the fellow s actions, but until last night have neN CT been able to catch him at his con- temptible work.
 To Officer McNiff is due the credit of the capture. The officer was coming along Elm street about 1 o'clock this morning when he discovered man try ing to force window in the house oc- cupied by the Daily family. Almost at the same time the fellow saw the officer and fled through back yards to Franklin street and to Mill with Officer McNiff in hot pursuit. He gained on the officer, but the latter by using little strategy doubled upon the fellow and finally cap lred him upon Liberty street. The prisoner was inclined to be refractory and resisted the officer. He gave his name as Edward Stanton and claimed that it was a case of mistaken identity, saying that he was on his way home from Brooklyn where he had left a con- panion named George Metz with whom he had been fishing.
 In order to make no mistake the of ticcr brought Stanton face to face with Mrs Daily and her children, all of whom identified him as the man who had for months been midnight prowler about their house.
 In court this morning Stanton had nothing to say except that he was mis- taken for another man. Metz, the man With whom Stanton told the officer he had been. said he had not seen the prisoner since last fall. Probable cause was found to bind Stan ton over to the superior court under bonds of $500. For resisting the officer a fine of S5 was imposed.

Mir Dixey is not only a thoroueh ar- list, but nature has kindly endowed him with advantages which are more than satisfying i'll themselves. Seldom it is that New York audience is vouchsafed an entire evening of hilarious delight unmarred by q single coarse aliusion or offensive joke, and for this we offer MT Dixey our heartfelt thanks. His popu- larity is easily understood. With all his fun and inexhaustible humor. there is q certain ease and refinement which have doubtless done much toward his immense success.-N. Y. Tribune.

Fatal Accident at the New Britain
 Rifle Range.
 NEW BRITAIN, April 10.-The German Rifle club were practising yesterday afternoon at Rentschler's park and had engaged Louis Pfeitfer as the marker. Nothing was noticed for some time as wrong except that Pfeiffer did not in- dicate where the bullets struck the tar get. Another shot was fired and still no mark was announced. This created surprise and d number went down to the targets to see what was the trouble and found Pfeiifer lying in the ditch in front of the target with blood flowing from d wound in the head. Medical Examiner Comings was notified and went to the spot accompanied by Chief Morgan and found Pfeitfer dead An examination showed that bullet enter ed his head on the right side behind the ear, and about sn inch above it and passed through the head and out at the left side in front of the ear. Chief Mor- gan took the hat the man wore, which showed plainly where the bullet pierced it in passing in and out. Dr Comings notified Coroner Sperry. It could not be learned who fired the fatal shot. but it was plain that it was purely an acci- dent. The hat also shows marks of another bullet which went through the top of the hat. Pfeiffer was about B years of age and leaves a wife and one child. a boy about f years old

SWIFT WILL HANG.
Tho House Reconsiders It's ActiC md Stands RN GoYcrnor BulkeleY.

Tho House Reconsfders It's Action and Stands By Governor Bull>eley. In the house this morning the commit tee on appropriations reported favorably on the resolution appropriating S77 to Francis Wayland and S92 to John C.. Taylor for expenses incurred in attend ing the National Prison congress of 1887, held in the city of Toronto, Ontario. and of the National Prison congress of 1888, held i'll the city of Boston, as delegates appointed by the governor 10 represent the state.
 Several resolutions in the shape of new business came in from the senate and at once kicked up a row among the members whether tEey should be re- celved and acted upon or not. \ large number of the representative are get ting weary of the session and want to get to their homes and start their farms Tn motion preparatory to the spring crops. A vote was taken and the house decided not to act upon the resolutions. Yesterday the house reversed it's yer dict, and i'll all probability murderer John H. Swift will hang April IS be- tween the hours of 10 a. m. and p. m. The governors veto was sustained by q vote of 12i to 96. The only point for Swift's lawyers to work on new is that raised that the resolution of commut;,- ton took effect on the Thursday night preceding the veto and the reprieve. At torney Cole claims that the governor had no power to act on the mattcr.aS the limitation of time was up at 12 o'clock Thursday night. The point is legal one involving technicalitieS that can only be settled by the supreme court and 1t is pretty well understood that the members of this body will not interfere with the sentence of the other tribun- als.
 Colonel Stevenson has received a re- quest by d number of members of the legislature asking him to take them over the HouSatonic road and to Wilson's Point that they may inspect the road and see the great improvements which have been made there to take care of their increasing business. This request Colonel St ,venson has arranged to meet. and will run a~special train for the members of the legislature and the friends leaving the New England depot at 9 o'clock Friday.
 Those opposed to the overnor's veto of the Swift resolution will move for a reconsideration of the matter in the house tomorrow morning. There is little prospect, however, Of there being any favorable change in the vote as it is now well known a ma jority of the mem- bers will stand by the governor and sus- tain his veto.
 A resolution was passed incorporating the New Haven and Morris Cove rail road company.
