ing the attack upon the genuineness Of q cable

masking Pigott, and had called Mr. Dewey a
traitor. Mr.. Dewey telegraphed Mr.. Egan
that unless the statement was repudiated he
would hold Mr.. Egan personally responsible
and take steps to vindicate his character Dis
patches were also sent to the President and
Secretary Of State. complaining of Mr.. Egan's
conduct and regretting the scandal that mus.
arise out of it.

Dewey to any paper, but he had no hesita ton
in expressing his belief that MIR. Dewey was the
author of the untruthful attack upon him.

THEY FILED.

Went For Them With shos Gun'
 On account of the differences in the ages of MT. and Mrs. Elnathan Baldwin ot Mil ford, he being about 70, and she 50, their marriage last week which had been quietly kept from knowing ones, caused curiosity and speculation when the facts came to light. An act so fragrant as suppressing matrimonial news of that kind could not be passed idly by. Friday evening it was re- solved to get even, by giving them a cali thumpian serenade. Arriving at the house every window was in darkness and 1t was evident the couple had retired. Then the music was set going to wake them up. The performers labored over an hour to accom- plish this, and were encouraged when lights were seen fitting among the apartments, the supposition of the visitors being that the couple comprehending the situation were preparing to entertain. When the venera- ble groom appeared at the front door the knights of the horn and tin pan felt their hearts throb with joy. Morally sure they were to be invited in. This joy was turned to sorrow and disgust when instead of extend ing the welcome looked for, the bridegroom elevated an old rusty shot gun and discharged it with whang which resounded through the vale of the Housatonic and round about Charles Island; and he threatened to shoot 8 second time unless his disturbers beat nasty retreat.
