Two TransIents Bound Over For
Violation or the Tramp Law.
William Altman went into the police
court room yesterday morning while
intoxicated and was put out. He insist
ed on returning and Officer Sullivan
locked him up. This morning he was
fined s. without costs.
Charles Clark went out on the Water
town road yesterday morning, near
Holmes woods, and divesting himself of
his clothing presented himself to women
and children as they passed by. Clark
is supposed to be the man who per-
formed similar actions year ago.
Judge Bradstreet imposed the maxi
mum penalty, 81 and costs and 80 days
in Jail.
Michael Ryan, mailing from New
Britain and Charles Brown of New
Haven, were two of a party of five or
district yesterday. Both were intoxi-
Gated when Officer McAuliffe placed
them under arrest. Each pleaded guilty
to drunkenness, and not guilty to the
charge Of being a tramp. Each was
sentenced to 80 days i'll Jail for intoxica-
ton and bound over to the next term of
the superior court for tramping, bonds
being fixed at $500 in each case.
w. j. Kelly and a man named Peter
son drove into Frank BenhamS stables
yesterday and tried to make a trade of
horses. Foreman Thayer of the stable
said he would trade certain horse for
SEQ to boot" Louis Bottom, stable
hand, did the most of the talking and
finally got into the team with the two
horse traders and rode off. They came
back in short time and Kelly and
Peterson began unhitchiDg their horse
from the wagon. Thayer came out and
asked them what they were doing and
they said they had made trade with
Bottom for $l5. Thayer refused to give
up the horse as it belonged to him.
When they went to look for Bottom he
had disappeared. A warrant was issued
for his arrest. This morning Bottom
said he made the trade but that the har-
ness was to be thrown in with the SIS.
The men refused to agree to this when
they arrived near the stable and think
ing they were going to squeal he
skipped off with the money. He said
he was full" at the time. Officer Dodds
arrested him at Wheeler's livery stable
where he had hired a team and was
about to so riding. The sum of $1I.3O
was found on his person. Judge Brad
street was disposed TO be lenient and re
leased Bottom upon his promise to make
up the balance of the $l5 and return it
to the owners.

SUICIDE By SHOOTING.
Hiram ii. Graham Takes HIS Owl
Life While Sick.

Life While Sick.
Hiram II. Graham, living in the rear
OF Mrs Zophar Pearsalrs house on the
Bucks Hill road, fatally shot himself
about o'clock last night. Graham
owned the house in which he lived and
rented it to John H. Dayton, with whom
he boarded. About two weeks ago
Graham went down into the we'll on the
place to clean it out and contracted a
cold. He worked up to Saturday night
but took to his bed Monday. DIR Barber
was called and pronounced him in the
first stages of typhoid. fever.
He grew worse rapidly and ON Tues
day it was noticed that he was acting
strangely. He kept a looking glass on
the bed with him and when Mrs Mary
Murphy, the housekeeper, asked him
why he did &C, he replied that he wanted
to see how he looked. He also held the
keys of the bureau in which he kept his
revolver in his hand, never losing
sight of them for mo-
ment. Last night, shortly after
: O'Clock, Mrs Murphy went out to bring
in some clothes. She was startled by
hearing the report of n pistol. She ran
up stairs to Graham's room, another
shot reaching her ears as she assembled the
stairs. Mrs Murphy pushed open the
door and found Graham hanging over
the edge of the bed, covered with blood
which oozed from an ugly hole over the
right eye. She Immediately gave the
alarm and messengers were hurriedly
dispatched for Drs Axtelle and Barber.
Graham remained unconscious and died
shortly after eleven o'clock. The pistol
used was 90 calibre seven shooter.
Graham was 46 years of age, and
worked in the tube department of the
Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing
company. He was unmarried and was
thought we'll of by his friends and neigh
bors. 1t is the opinion that the fever
unbalanced his mind.
Graham's relatives, who live in New
York state, were notified of his death
to-day, and will probably take charge of
the remains.

score Another success For the Sacred
Heart Church Choir.

IttaEB ShuESkA
Standing room only was announced
at the opera house last night, when the
ladies and gentlemen of the Sacred
Heart Church choir presented pro-
gramme of unusual merit. All former
entertainments given by this choir have
been enjoyable and artistic successes,
but THAT Rascal Pat" and Summer
Boarders," will long be remembered as
the programme par excellence" of fun,
music and merriment. In THAT Rascal
Pat" Edward l.. Malohey, in the title
role of Pat McNoggerty, gave credi-
table bit of acting as the servant trying
to serve two masters at the same time,
and the comic song "OGrady's
Goat was well received. Cornelius
Maloney, as Major Puffjacket,
and Augustus j. Smith, as Charles
Livingstone gave true portrayal of
their respective characters, while the
Misses Herman and DoOlin sustained
their former reputation for good acting.
Miss Herman received II large and hand
some basket of flowers from her shop
mates. In the second part of the pro-
gramme, the introduction Of Odd Heads
on Young Shoulders" by Miss Kane and
Master Willie Fitzpatrick, was well re-
ceived, and the little actors generously
applauded. The musical comedy in four
acts, Summer Boarders," was then given
It's lnltldl presentation, ana was WelCOm-
ed by the large audience present with
deserved appreciation. Summer Board
ers' will be the talk of the town for
some time to come. AS usual, the bright
particular star among the' Boarders"wa
Mrs William Bergen, who sustained the
part of I'VE ancient maiden" with
ease and grace. Her singing of the
lullaby This Little Pig Went TO
Market" at the close of the third
act was alone worth the price of
admission. Tne two little Twins"
Misses Wolff and Cunningham, carried
off the honors of the evening i'll ''Beauti
full Willie Mccormick" Thomas Shea,
as Mortimer, the retired sea captain,
fairly convulsed the audience by his
words and actions especially in the
proposal" and murder" scenes. Miss
Maggie Farrell, as the Glove sick maid"
and Edward l.. Maloney's descriptive
dude act merited applause, while the
two cronies," Batter and Splitter, gave
the Messrs G. Maloney and Robert Dow
a chance to add to their laurels. 'Our
cOlored friend Sam" was impersonated
by Joseph Costello, whose acting and
singing was good. The chorus singing
deserves special mention and the solo in
the "Magnolias' by Miss Emma Farrell
was one of the gems of the evening.
Mrs Lucien Wolff is entitled to much
praise for the manner in which the
musical part of the programme was
carried out, and the success of last
nights entertainment is due in great
part to her untiring labors.

RALPH MOONS CAsE.
The Unfortunate Man stin Refus
TO Take Food.

The Unfortunate Man Stiu Refuses
to Take Food.
The condition of Ralph Blood. the
well-known machine agent, is pitiable
in the extreme. Two weeks ago symp-
toms of insanity, from which he was a
sufferer three years ago, re-appeared,
his peculiar mania being a refusal to
take food or nourishment. To-day he
is so weak that he is unable to leave
his room over Pinney, 8 restaurant on
South Main street. He has lost thirty
pounds in weight, but expresses his
ability to fast 200 days. The
unfortunate man believes that
he is suffering from disease that can
be cured only by fasting and with the
exception of an occasional mouthful of
water he has taken neither food nor
drink for ten days. To friend to. day
he said: Il am suffering from a disease
that battles all physicians. Three years
ago when stabbed myself they sewed
up the wound ON the outside, but did
not treat the internal injury. There is
hole in my lungs from which | can
feel the blood dropping into my stomach
all the time. When l walk / can hear
the air weeeze and feel the water rush
ing through my body. Two weeks ago
the spirits told me could only be cured
by fasting. This morning the spirits
told me might take little salt water,
l did so and feel better already. l am
not looking for notcriety, but when
am cured the world shall hear of a
remedy that will work wonders"
Mr. and Mrs Plnney are doing all in
their power to make the poor man COM
Portable. His room and surroundings
are pleasant and he is humored in all his
whims. On most subjects he is perfect
ly rational and is brilliant conversa-
tionalist. He is greatly emaciated and
barely able to walk about his room.
1t was said last night that Masonic
friends of the victim would care for him,
but up to 2 o'clock to-day nothing had
been done. The town authorities should
cause his removal to the hospital at
once.

AGAINST WATERBURY, COUNTY.
Attorney Cothren of Woodbury.
Makes An Argument.

Attorney C0thren of Woodbury.
Makes An Argument.
Attorney Cothren of Woodbury. writes:
After each new census by statute new
counties may be formed. The subject
of a new county of Waterbury, taking in
the towns now comprised in the district
of Waterbury is beginning to be discuss
ed. We think Woodbury. may safely be
counted as substantially a unit against
the plan. After the last census Wood
bury was in favor of a new county as
evidenced by the favorably vote of
large town meeting called to express its
views, and an agent was appointed to
favor the project before the legislature.
The result was the inclusion of Wood
bury in the district of Waterbury SO that
now we have the superior and common
pleas courts of our own county, the
district court of Waterbury which has
substantially the jurisdiction of the
superior court, and where one party
resides in New Haven county we have
the superior court at Waterbury at
such times as the judges do not
transport it to New Haven. So that
Woodbury. is well accommodated and
well satisfied with the exception of the
migratory character of the Waterbury
superior court. which Waterbury can
remedy by letting i'll a little more
light" into its court accommodations, IA
thing it ought to do. Ii it is seriously
proposed to have mex county, Wood
bury would no doubt appoint a commit
tee to oppose the plan before the general
assembly. We have at Litchfield. one
of the last new court houses in the state,
and we should be in no mood to pay
taxes for new county buildings, and the
extra expenses of new county. The
only earthly reason for the creation of n
new county, would be to create lot of
new offices for the benefit of the Water
bury lawyers and our people surely will
not take kindly to that. We are well
off now, and so far as we are concerned,
we shall be sure to let well enough
alone.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
The New Haven Palladium Building
Castles in the Air

The most ridiculous statement that
has yet come to hand in connection
with the political campaign now on, is
from to-day'S New Haven Palladium.
Here it is In 1888 Morris secured AIS
more votes in New Haven county than
were cast for General Merwin, 2,042 of
this number being secured in the town
of New Haven. Waterbury gave Morris
S,219 votes, and Merwin 2,57S votes,
Morris plurality over Merwin being 641.
This year shrewd republicans claim, and
equally shrewd democrats admit, that
General Merwin will carry Waterbury.
Two years ago Meriden gave Morris 346
more votes than it gave Merwin. 1t
promises to give majority for Merwin
this year.

was caused. The occupants of the block
