LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Assoc


Expires Suddenly From Heart Disease
To-Day-sketcl of His Distinguished
Career.
MIDDLETowN, June 24.-Lieutenant-
Governor Joseph w. Alsop died this
morning at 1880 from an attack of
heart disease. Shortly before 8 o'clock
he was taken suddenly ill at his home in
Fenwick and DIR Edgerton of Middle
town, the family physician, was sum-
moned. DIR Edgerton could not leave
for Fenwick until 1:15, and shortly
after IL he received a message stating
that Mr. Alsop had died at 1880. For
some time it was known that Mr. Alsop
was sufferer from acute attacks of
heart disease.
Joseph w. Alsop was born in New
York in 1888, but moved to Middletown
at an early age. He was a graduate of
the Yale scientific school and the Column
bia college scientific school of New York.
He afterwards took a course of medi-
cine at the University of New York and

senator for six terms; member of the
board of trustees of the Middletown in
sane asylum; a member of the board of
trustees of the Russell free public

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.

Return of BOY Who Had Been Given
Up For Dead.
Twenty years ago Edward Keefe, then
but seven years os age, ran away from
Bridgeport. OF his early wanderipgs
he remembers but little. He knows
that he spent few years in an orphan
asylum. For years his parents kept up
a search for him but like Charlie Ross
no trace of him could be found. Time
rolled on and his parents gave him up
for dead. Yesterday a tall, we'll dressed
young man called at Supt Bunnell's
office and introduced himself as Edward
keefe. He made inquiries about his
father and was referred to the police
station. There he told how he had left
Bridgeport. He learned that his parents
Were still living and finally found his
father at work. The son bears such a
striking resemblance 10 his mother that
it did not require very much explana-
ton on his part to convince his sire that
he was his long lost son. Both wept
with JOY at the meeting. Young Keefe
is now in business and doing well, He
has been living in the west

Epileptic Fits Caused by the Bite of a
Mastiff.
Lewis Eddy of Winsted, who was bit
ten by his big mastiff, which he keeps
chained up in his cellar, was taken with
an epileptic fit Sunday night, and it re-
quired seven men to hold him in his
bed. These men, while caring for Eddy,
were snapped at by him and his ar tics
gave rise to the story that he had hydro
phobia. He was able to sit up yester-
day, and although people are still fear
full that his hydrOphobia rawlings may
come on again, those who know say
that he has epileptic fits and not rabies.
Mrs Ellen O'Neil, wife of Daniel
O'Neil of Sandisfield, died last Friday
after intense suffering which is said to
have been caused by drinking ice water.
Mrs O'Neil was about so years old. The
burial was at Norfolk on Monday. Her
son, boy about IL years old, has been
taken sick in the same way.

HARTEoRp,s PAuPERs.

Policies at the Towns Expense.

Live on Luxuries and Keep UP Insurance
Policies at the Towns Expense.
Unusual interest attaches to the spe-
cial town meeting Monday afternoon to
determine whether Hartford should con-
tinue to be the banner city in the coun-
try for paupers. The report of the spe-
cal investigating committee showed
that, with only SO 900 population, Hart
ford appropriated for the present year
$25, 500 for outside aims. To this is to
various charitable organizations, max
ing an aggregate of $140, 900 or $3.50, 900,
or about So per capita for the popula-
assisting about 1000 persons.
The report shows that the system has
aided and increased pauperism. About
80 per cent who received aid were found
not to be fairly entitled to it. Drunk
ards, prostitutes and jailbirds have re-
ceived money for rent, free medical aid
and orders for groceries. Orders for
groceries show that paupers drew cake
and candy, canned fruits, jelly, canned
lobster, oranges, pineapples, sardines,
tobacco, etc, as well as the necessaries
of life, and the taxpayers footed the
bills. Aid was furnished to persons
who had money in the bank, and in
some cases town money was used to
keep up insurance policies in the cheap
insurance companies. Money for rent
and groceries was drawn by families
whose incomes ran from $12 to $50 a
week. A list of suggestions which will
result in a radical reform of the present
system was adopted by the meeting.

KILLED BY STEVE DALEY.
John McCarty Shot at Hartford La
Night.

John McCarty Shot at Hartford Last
Night.
Steve Daley of Hartford, the well
known sprint runner, is under arrest for
killing man last night. Daley's own
account of the affair given to a reporter
is as follows:
81 am hired at Trinity college as an
instructor and trainer in outdoor and
indoor athletics and have held that posi-
ton since 1887. 1t las been my duty to
look out for the gymnasium premises,
to do Janilor work, and to watch on
nights when there are germans or other
events taking place there. For some
time past articles have been stolen from
the premises. Overcoats, silver spoons,
bricks of ice cream and other things
have been missed at intervals. Tonight
was watching there when the walters
called my attention to a shoe that had
been thrown through a side window
into the Euilding. I went out and
found two or three fellows out there,
and 1 drove them away. On going
around to the back door 1 found a gang
of toughs there, trying to break in.
They were kicking and pounding on the
door. told them to clear out, and tall
fellow who was in the crowd I pushed
aside with my arm. At that the whole
gang-there were eighteen or twenty of
them-came and tackled me, hitting me
in the face and using me very roughly.
1 saw that they had me cornered and
pulled my pistol and fired to brighten
them, firing, as supposed, in the air.
l had no intention of hitting anyone
and did not know at the time that 1 had
hit anyone. The crowd scattered pre-
cipitately on hearing the shots, and 1
was laughing to myself to think how
easily I had got rid of them. did not
recognize anyone in the gang. I should
judge it was about 1890 when the affair
happened. A short time afterwards
some one said to me that I had shot a
man and that he was dying down in the
wanted me to go down there, but some
of the students advised me not to go for
they said would get hurt. So 1 did
not go down."
The victim was John McCarty, an IS
year old boy. He was dead before the
ambulance reached the place. Daley
surrendered himself to the police.

MILITARY MATTERS.
A Midnight Ride From New Haven
Newly Elected Officers.

A Midnight Ride From New Haven by
Newly Elected Officers.
About 10 o'clock last evening Col
Doherty received a telephone message
from New Haven stating that commit
| tee from Co E would drive to Waterbury
| last night and present officially the cleo
| ton of officers. The cause of this quick
| work of the committee was that both Cos
d and E elected officers last night and
the company first making returns would
have precedence in the line. About
1:30 O'Clock two horse team with q
committee consisting of the newly elect
ed second lieutenant, w. II. Coleman,
and Privates Williams and Wells, stop
ped in front of Col Doherty's rooms
on Bank street, and in a minute the
committee were before the colonel with
the official document. The officers
elected were: Captain Fred Lear; First
Lieutenant Hamilton and Second Lieu
tenant Coleman. 1t was thought that
Co ID would also send over a committee,
but it was unnecessary as that COM
pany had elected captain outside the
ranks and therefore Captain Lear would
have the seniority.
Edward Fitzpatrick and Daniel Cava-
naugh were unanimously elected MEM
bers of the company. AT the request of
Quartermaster Sergeant Bolger he ex-
changed positions with Sergeant B. j.
Collins. Sergeant Bolger has made an
efficient quartermaster, but press of
business compelled him to resign the
position. Sergeant Collins is already
thoroughly posted and will fill the posi-
ton acceptably. A committee of five
was appointed to secure a caterer in the
event of the annual encampment being
held. The committee consists of Lieu
tenant Fitzpatrick, Sergeant Keavney,
Corporal Danaher and Privates w. Col
Inns and 7. Lawlor. Three more re-
cruits are wanted to make full COM
pany.
Colonel Doherty to-day issued a letter
"congratulating every officer and man
in the Second regiment" for the splendid
showing made during the past six
months. The standing CT the regiment
in May, 97.69, is something certainly to
proud of, being very high average.
The record for the full season is So. 10.

CAPTURED IN DANBuRY.
Liveryman Gagain RecOvers His Stolen
Team.

L1Veryman Gagain Receivers His Stolen
Team.
A Connecticut Associated Press dis
patch sent out from this city yesterday
led to the arrest of Albert Morton in
Danbury and the recovery of the team
stolen from Liveryman Edward HI.
Gagaln, an exclusive account of which
appeared in the DEMOCRAT yesterday.
Morton was arrested in Danbury
yesterday morning. He was trying to
sell good turnout for remarkably
small sum. The description of the rig
tailed closely with that of one stolen
from George Wagner of Fiskdale, Mass,
on June 10. Morton was arrested at the
home of dock" Ginty, saloon keeper
bed. He told the officers that he
arrived from New Haven, Sunday.
His father, he said, was a horse dealer
and he was out on the road for him
with one of a carload of horses that had
just arrived from the west. He said
that he was connected with Camlin's
stables, on George street, New Haven,
in which his father was interested.
At the station he told an entirely
different story. The horse, he said, was
one his father bought from stranger
In New Haven a month ago. He
started from New Haven Saturday and
headed for Danbury for a pleasure trip
He struck a resort at Taunton, over
near Newtown, sometime Sunday and
fell in with ''Dock" Ginty on the way
home. He was short Of money and
yesterday he tried to sell the team to re-
plenish his purse.
At Green's stable he offered to sell the
horse for twenty dollars and at a half
dozen other places he tried to dispose of
it at an equally low figure, but the
hverymen were all suspicious of him
and he did not succeed.
The Fiskdale authorities were notified
of the arrest, and while waiting for an
answer dispatch from Waterbury was
read by the police in the Danbury
News, last evening, giving description
of the team stolen here. The prisoner
was charged with having stolen the
team in Waterbury and finally confessed.
Llveryman Gagain was notified and
went to Danbury this morning.
Sheriff Mcdonald arrived here at 1
o'clock this afternoon having the
prisoner in charge.
Morton says that after securing the
team Saturday night he became drunk
and when he came to his senses twenty
four hours later he found himself in |
Danbury.

state of intoxication, in company with
a man who was also drunk, was driven

following in their wake. The woman
was stranger and it was reported last
night that she had been followed by a
number of the gang and robbed of $50
and a gold watch.

The Wholesale Dealers

Combination in SUGAR provided that
they sell at the same price and get one

KELLY thought that price too high and
went into the jobbing business, buying
sugar in carloads direct FROM the refiners,
The result is that Kelly has compelled the
wholesalers to adopt his method.
But KELLY can go the wholesalers one
better. He buys in car lots and has his
sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The
wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha-
ven or Bridgeport and haYe to pay two
feight bills and double carriage.
