Terrible Tragedy Near New Milford
 Last NiUht

Terrible Tragedy Near New Milford
 Last Night.
 NEW MILFORD, September 11.-A sen- sational murder was committed in the little village of Lanesville, about two and one-half miles from here, late last night. The crime grew out of family feud which has lasted for ten years and finally ended in murder. The murderer is George Knowles, aged 21 years and is now locked up in the jail here awaiting the coroner's action. His victim is John J. Waters, a middle aged farmer, who leaves a widow and several children un- provided for.
 George Knowles is the son of Dr Knowles, who is a dentist and farmer combined. The doctor has two brothers living in Lanesville, named George and Jay, his own name being Charles. Ten years ago the father of the three brothers died leaving quite little prop erty, most of it going to Jay. The other brothers were greatly dissatisfied when the provisions of the will became known and did everything in their power, to get the property away from Jay. Legal steps were taken but without avail, for the will could not be broken. The doc- tor and George constantly annoyed Jay and finally worried him into leaving the LII HI A4uhCoN ohCE "hlCh bucIc udS been so much trouble. Jay went to an- other part of the town where he lived for ten years, until his house was burned down last June. Then he decided to re- move to the old house. The doctor and George took steps to prevent him, how= ever, and the former moved his own furniture ipte the house, occupying three rooms and leaving Jay and his wife only one.
 Recently Jays wife became sick and he applied to a number of friends to aid him. Last night at II o'clock John J. Waters, Fred Halbred, Willis Warner and Fred Aldrich appointed themselves committee to call upon the doctor and ask him to do what was right by his brother. Upon their arrival at the house the door was found looked. Jay went to the door and asked for admit tance while the others stood back. Young George answered the knock, with a revolver in his hand and threat eued to kill Jay. Then the others secured log and battered in the door. As they did so the lights were extin- guished and George at the same time, with ap oath, discharged his revolver. Then he and his father jumped from a window and escaped. The bullet enter ed Waters right side, passing through his body. He died in few minutes.
 The murderer and his father and mother were arrested this morning, and the coroner is making an investigation.

Whilst accept it with my whole heart prefer to use it so that I may receive the best return from it.'' Father Mulcahy then told his people he would donate the purse to the purchasing of parish library, which would accommodate those in want of knowledge. Con- cluding he expressed his pleasure at the
 reception rendered him by the children and said that the flowers, though not of the same intrinsic value as the first gift,
 were still doubly dear to him coming from such a source. A song from the children of St Mary's school, ftOnce Again We Greet You, Father" was well rende red. The "Cruiskeen Lawn" chorus by the Choral society received a merited encore. Chairman Keenan then announced the ceremonies at an end.

ssPearI of PeIkIn."

OA
 Rice's great burlesque troupe will ap- pear at the opera house this evening, in "Pearl of Pekin." The New York World, in speaking of the opera says: Night af- ter night, week in and week out, the "Pearl of Pekin," keeps the Bijou opera house crowded with enthusiastic audi ences, and no wonder: such a wealth of dazzling costumes, sparkling music, charming girls, hilarious comedians, is positively bewildering.
 @ Mains Show.
 In spite of the unfavorable weather large crowds attended both performances given by the Main-Van Amburgh circus yesterday, and it is safe to say that everybody was more than satisfied. It was an old fashioned one ring show, every feature being strictly first-class, and there was nothing to offend. Fakirs and swiudlers were conspicuous by their absence and everything was conducted in an orderly manner.
 GA Perilous Voyage"
 A very good performance was given at the opera house last night, and it is to be repeated this evening. "A Peril ous Voyage" is a sea piece, and it has a truly sea air about it. All the members of the company work hard and give their lines good expression. and last evening the enthusiastic audience treat ed the whole ships crew to a recall be- fore the curtain. The piece is well staged, and deserves considerable praise. Worcester Spy. At the opera house Friday evening.

KeIIy's Wound Is not Fatal.

The doctors have concluded that Pat; rick Kelly, the Bridgeport grocer will not die from the serious stab wound in the neck, inflicted last Saturday night by James Gaffney, the bod carrier. The wounded mans condition continued to be precarious for two or three days after the stabbing, but the danger point is now regarded as passed, and his steady i'm provement is looked for. He will prob- ably be able to appear in court against his assailant next week.

ables her the better to fill her position in life, be

nature, and the qualities that arise blend to quail
lily her to fill all three positions with equal grace.
One of the pleasant incidents of the federation
convention was the presentation by the various
clubs of beautiful silver loving cup to Sorosis,
adorned with the national colors. The presenta-
ton speech was made by Mrs. Kate Tannatt
Woods, charmingly graceful woman, with rich,
full-toned voice, and the response by Mrs Clymer
was equally graceful
At the close OF her speech the organ burst forth
in peals of melody in the well-known strains of
"Auld Lang Syne," and the audience nvoluntarily
rose and joined in the soul-stirring familiar air.
Mrs. Clymer generously accorded to Mrs. Sewell
the sentiment she so hastily seconded-namely,
that the colors with which the cup was adorned
sgnifed the patriotic spirit Of woman in all they
undertook, and it remained for the women of the
United States to cement more closely together the
States Of the Unlon-North Sout East and West
with the bands Of good fellowship and love.

sons passing in and out, and with other conditions
far from favorable. Miss Hall rallied from her
nervousness after q few minutes and passed an
excellent examination. A week later the Hartford
county Bar submitted to the Supreme Court the
question whether as woman she was eligible to
admission to the Bar, and favorable opinion.
written by Chief Justice Park, was given few
weeks later.
Miss Hall has since remained in Mr.. Hooker's
office. She dislikes court practice, and has never
yet made an argument or appeared in court, ex-
cept occasionally in the courts of probate Her
business frequently demands court attendance, but
she prefers to hand over this class of work to gen.

and finds it remunerative Her clients are usually

She has been notary public since 1885, when she

Miss Hall Took the Lead.

1t is eight years since the Supreme Court Of
Connecticut took down the bolts and bars, and al
lowed women to enter the legal profession. In all
that time no applicant has presented herself, till
recently Miss Mary Hall was admitted to practice
law. A correspondent OF the New York Herald
says Of her:
Miss Mary Hail. of Hartford, was the first woman
lawyer in Connecticut, and stands alone to-day.
She is somewhere in the forties, Of pleasant adj
dress, keen and quick witted, thoroughly we'll
posted as to the theory and practice OF law, and
careful and conscientious in all her business affairs
She is a native Of Marlborough, a fine old country
place about fifteen miles from Hartford. Her
father was prosperous miller and she enjoyed
the advantages of good education at the Wes-
leyan Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. After grad
uation she taught mathematics for a time, and was
finally called to the chair Of mathematics at Lasele
Seminary, near Boston. She found the life dull
and uninteresting, and during summer vacation
at home in July, 1877 she preached the subject Of
legal studies to her brother Ezra, then prosper
GUS lawyer in Hartford. He gave her ne encour-
agement, but when she persisted he finally brought
her copy of Kent. Instead of wearying of it,
as he had predicted, Miss Hall found the volume
entertaining. She read slowly and carefully and
mentally digested what she read. Her plan was
to enter her brothers office as student, but his
sudden death in November dsarranged everything.
The following April, 1878, she entered the office
Of John Hooker, Of Hartford husband Of Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker, who took an earnest in
terest in the young lady's plans. Mr.. Hooker is,
and was then, reporter Of the Supreme Court, and
in copying and preparing for the printer under his
direction the opinions Of its Justices, she was ma
terialy aided in her legal studies.
Mr.. Hooker gave her an income from this work,
and altogether her prospects were encouraging. In
1879 Mrs. Hall was appointed Commissioner
of the Superior Court" and for this her papers
were Endorsed by the late Gov. Hubbard, United
States Judge Shipman and other eminent gentle
men. 1t was the first time such an honorable ap-
pointment had been given to a woman in Connec-
ticut In March, 1882, having read something
more than three years, Miss Hall formally applied
for admission to the bar. The affair made a SEN
sation. The press discussed the question widely
and generally favorably. On March % she had
her legal examination by committee Of Hartford
lawyers-United States District Attorney Stanton,
