Enforcement of the Sunday Law in
Hartford.

HARTFORD, July 27.-With a few excep-
tons the Sunday law was rigidly enforced
in Hartford yesterday. Fruit stores and
cigar stores were closed tight and drug
stores refrained from selling confectionery
| and cigars. The movement for the enforce
| ment of the Sunday law began ten days
| ago with petition signed by merchants,
ian fruit stores. The order was issued
and the Italians took a forced holiday the
| following Sunday. They determined to
retaliate. A petition was circulated and
signed by the Italians asking that drug and
cigar stores be closed on Sundays. Chief
Packard needed the petition, but drew his
own opinion on the law which allows the
| carrying on of 'works of necessity" He
| ordered the closing of cigar stores and
forbade the druggists selling cigars or
| candy. He classed soda water and Sunday
| newspapers as necessities. There are
| threats of applying the law to the livery
stables and horse cars on Sunday next.
