A DEVOTED WIFE.
She Is SO Attached to Her Husband as to
 Be Public Nuisance.


 Be n Public Nuisance.
 In Bridgeport there is woman so much in love with her husband that the other Bridgeporters think her crazy. The Post says her love has become so marked as to become an annoyance to the neighbor- hood, and the landlord of the house she occupies has been compelled to give her warning to vacate his house in order that he can retain his other tenants. This un- fortunate woman is sane on every other subject but love for her husband, and at times when overcome by the intensity of that love her mind wanders and she will clasp a revolver in her hand, pace up and down the house for an hour or two, go out into the yard and after wandering around there for time will enter the house and, donning her street attire, will make haste to the shop where her husband is employed and faint at his feet. He IS obliged to leave his work and accompany her home, which appears to satisfy her for the time being. When her husband goes out of an. evening she invari- ably follows him until he, out of shame, is obliged to return home At other times she will walk to his place of employment and sit on the bench near his side while he is at work until he is obliged, in order to escape the raillery of hls fel- low-workmen, to take her home. She threatened to shoot any woman whom she discovered talking to her husband, and her moans and cries for him during his ab- sence from the house are pitiful, She has even gone so far as to hire Il detective to watch her husbands movements, and the detective reported, after three weeks of continuous spotting, that her husband was l faultless respecting communication with other women. She then took it upon her | self to play detective, and now has two or | three young ladies down for .alienating g her husbands affections, whom, it is safe
 to say, have not the acquaintance of the
 latter. It is alleged that the husband, in
 order to escape the passion he has en-
 deavored to soothe, will be obliged to leave
 his wife, This is sad, but 1t is neverthe- less true, and proves that the passion Is even stronger in it's reality than depicted l at its best on the stage.

rHE CrrY,s CREDIT Is SAVED.

THE ClI4'S CREDIT IS SAY ELI.
 The overwhelming majority by which the scheme to load an immense debt Apon the city of Waterbury was defeat ed at the polls yesterday, has been a lively topic of discussion ill all circles since, and as a natural consequence, to the heroic position taken in the struggle by the DEMOCRAT, is ascribed i'll a great measure the result. Of all the papers in the city only one protested against the incurrence of the immense debt of $35O,- 900, which it was proposed to add to a bonded indebtedness already exceeding 800, ,00O. While our esteemed contempo- raries stood idly by, wondering what it would all amount to and not daring to express an opinion, the DEMOCRAT waded in and proved-as the result shows-to the satisfaction of the great majority of the voters who interested themselves in the matter, that the work of street paving can be accomplished by a system less burdensome te taxpayers and less liable to injure the city's fair name, and that past experience with that whimsical creature, the water board, had been expensive and the re- suits ridiculously unsatisfactory.
 As we said on former occasion the question was one of economy rather than politics. The immense ma jority cast against the issuance of bonds shows that many a republican had studied his DEMOCRAT well, and recognized the honesty of its opposition to bonding the city at this time. President Melton of the board of water commissioners may not be able to understand at once why his pet project was so rudely shattered, and certain other parties who favored increasing the city's burden, for reasons more or less personal and selfish, may feel disappoint- ed, but the mass of voters are pleased with the result.
 It is now ill order for the board of water commissioners to thoroughly revise their rules, treat everybody alike and insist that the city water be not wasted. If after thorough trial it be found necessary to add to the supply let the people first decide where tha increase shall be obtained. and not til then vote away quarter of million O dollars. A one or two mill tax for pay ing and macadamizing purposes, added to the annual appropriation for street will solve the question of paving, with out injuring the city's credit.
 Our highly esteemed but slow con temporary, the American, and the dea harmless Republican, can condole wit each other over the result. While the were wondering what the bond ques tion was all about the DEMOCRAT wa forming pubic opinion on the side 0 right.

A Curious English Law.

A condemned criminal in England must be allowed to sse three Sundays between bis sentence and his execution. Of course he can thus be hung in a little over two weeks, but the three Sundays must pass over his head before the gallows claims him. The custom is relic of mediseval times, when a criminal was allowed that much of a respite to prepare for death.

MT. and Mrs. Sykes.

Sykes is known among his Milwaukee friends as a very verbose individual, says Yenowine's News. Recently he was an ur- successful candidate for lodge honors. When asked the result by an inquiring friend he replied: "Well, my name is mud, that's all." "Oh, mo-" replied his friend, ''that can't be true" "Why nots' "Be- cause mud dries up sometimes" was the crushing reply. Speaking of Sykes re- minds me: Mrs. Sykes is so close-isted that she never gives any thing to charity ex- cept her advice. "Why," said Mrs. Bouncer, ''when offered to furnish lemons for the church picnic lemonade Mrs. S. glibly re- marked: Well, let Mrs. Bouncer furnish the lemons and I'll furnish the aid; that will provide for the lemonaAc.'"

JUDGE DURHAM OUT OF OFFICE.

The First Comptroller of the Currency
Steps Out Rather Suddenly.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 23-The resig-
nation of Judge Durham, first comptroller
OF the treasury, was accepted by Secretary
Window Saturday to take effect at once.
Judge Durham will return to his home in
Kentucky. There are various explanations
offered for this hasty act on the part of the
secretary Secretary Window said that he
had accepted Durham's resignation in the or
binary course of business not because of any
fault with the latter's conduct but because
of several newspaper articles rejecting upon
the administration, which are said to have
been inspired by the first comptroller. These
attributed sentiments to the first comptroller
which, if true. must have made it unpleas-
ant for him to continue in office under exist
ing circumstances.
A Rev With the Attorney General.
On the other hand it is said that the i'm
mediate cause of the change is was a per-
sonal misunderstood between Attorney
General Miller and First Comptroller Dur
ham in regard to the accounts of John |.
Davenport, as supervisor of elections in New
York. The latter recently presented vonch-
ers aggregating So, 200 for extraordinary ex-
penses" incurred during the last presidential
election. ~These were being examined by the
first comptroller, and he signified his inten-
ton of disallowing them. He had several
conferences with the attorney general on the
subject, which resulted in an open rupture
between the two officials, so much 50 that
the first comptroller on Friday last ignored
two requests from the attorney general to
call at his office. The Davenport accounts
were then taken out of his hands and turned
over to the attorney general, where they now

MILITARY CELEBRATION.

The Centennial Anniversary to be
Commemorated IN a Fitting style
by the ROdman ktfies and Compa-
pyF.
In it's advocacy of general public
demonstration, the ARGUS in one or two
instances alluded to the fact that very
appropriate and attractive, as well as a
patriotic feature, would be drill in
which the Rodman Rifles, of this city, and
Company F, of Moline, might participate.

which was witnessed by great many
people. Afterwsrd the companies held a
Joint meeting in Armory hall. Moline,
and after discussing the situation de-

full tribute was presented to the captain by
several people prominent in shipping cir
cles.
Interesting Event Aboard Ship.
Capt Murrell left his ship early in the
evening and accompanied his friend, Mr.. C.
w. Davis, to the latter's home at Riverton,
n. j. The captain is a good-natured man,
but extremely modest. He insists that in
rescuing the passengers of the Damn, rk he
only did his duty. He stated to a United
Press reporter that he is particularly glad
that there was but one case of sickness on
board during the trip after taking on the
Danmark's passengers. Everybody enjoyed
the best of health save 6-month's old babe
During the passage woman by the name of
Linney gave birth to child. The infant
was christened ATLANTA Missouri"
Goodbye to the Rescued.
There was an affecting scene when Capt.
Murrell babe a last goodbye to those whose
lives he had saved He clasped the hand of
each of them, and many were SO filled with
emotion that they were unable to express
their thankfulness. Capt Murrell is young
in years but old in nautical experience. Be-
fore he took command of the Missouri, when
she was built about two years ago, he was in
charge of the Maine. Previously he had COM
manded the Surrey and the Michigan in the
order named. All these vessels belong to the
Ihingvalla line. A reception was rendered
Capt. Murrell at the maritime exchange at
noon to-day, and tonight he will be present
at the annual dinner Of st. Georges society

The rescued people were given a substan-
tial lunch on the wharf, where a table 200

BLACK EYE FOR PROHIBITION.

Massachusetts VIII Continue to Imbibe by
sjority of Over $4,000.
BOSTON, April 23.-Massachusetts voted
yesterday On a prohibition constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors in this state.
The amendmsn was as follows: "The manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors to be
used as a beverage are prohibited. Tine gen.
eral court all enact suitable legislation to
enforce the provisions of this article"
Indications pointed to the rejection of the
amendment, but the defeat of the same was
accomplished by a larger majority than even
its opponents anticipated. The friends of
the amendment are greatly depressed and
have but little to say The vote, as COM
pared with last years vote on license, is as
follows: Toral in the IL congressional dis
tricts in 1889 for prohibition s., 1872; against

No Charges.

The ARGUS makes no charges to the
Union for the use of its cut of the First
NJ. Z. church, nor would it have hesi>
tsted in permitting the morning contem-
porary to use the aforesaid cut had il
sought 1t in an open and above board
manner. The ARGUS does not object to
the Unions profiting by its enterprise,
but it does deprecate the questionable
manner in which the morning sheet
seeks to obtain such benefits. The cut
which the Union published Sunday
morning was made by Mr.. Schuremsnn
for the ARGUS, and was the property of
she ARGUS, Mr.. Schuremann having the
privilege Of using it when he pleased.
The Union obtained the cut in an indi-
rect, and to the ARGUS, very surprising
manner. and while it confesses the
Union played a sharp game. it could
have had the cut by simply sending for
it or asking for its use. We like to be
accommodating, but don't like to be im-
posed upon.

A burglar CauUht

Last night. about 12 o'clock, a young
couple from Audalusia were rowing
ACROSS the river from the Buffalo side
when they saw light lodging about in
the store of John Fl. Brookman in An
dslusia. The young man soon made up
his mind that there was some one in the
store who had no right to be there. He
accordingly hastily informed City Mar,
shall Policy Richards, who drafted two
other men into his service. surrounded
the store and took the burglar prisoner.
He proved to be Charles Francis, q
stranger, whose outfit consisted of a
satchel containing screw driver, cold
chisel. a saw and knife. He Is about
forty years of age, and has reddish hair.
He was placed in the calaboose until this
morning. when he was taken before JUS
tice r. E. Reed in Andalusa, who Or
dered his commitment to the county
jail. He was bornght up this morning
and committed to Sheriff Silvis' care.
