sentences, which literary critics have
asserted comprised the briefestyet most
spIendidly logical and powerful address
ever pronounced by Englishwoman in
any cause. Nor were the lasses them
selves slow of speech. Their ignorance
OF the scdate formalitics OF the place led
to Vulnerable vociierous and pointed in

that they should not be inter.

representations would so influence
public opinion that they would hear no

interfere with an honest and praise
worthy industry" And so the pit-brow
lasses won. But l have often thought

BEFORE PARLIAMENT.

Mrs. Park at once determined that
the pit.brow women should go in per-
son before Parliament and the Home
Secretary. She wrote and telegraphed
mine owners employing women to call
meetings, explain the Threatened dan
ger, and asl; the women ut the mines to
elect by ballot two OF their number
from each mine to join the deputation.
This was done, the lasses bearing their
own expenses by subscriptions, so that
no taint OF mine owners interest could
be charged. a special train was Sc
cured, and away sped the unique depu-
tNtion to the great city.
a continuous ovation greeted them
all the way to London. Mrs, Park had
meantime secured permission from Sec
rotary Matthews to present the deputa.

Girls Club and Home, Soho Square.
Their arrival created the greatest inter-

never attracted greater crowd. They
were taken to Parliament House. and

Britain were won over in body,
The next morning the entire London
press rang with their Spraiscs, patheti,

Breaking Up n Bad Gang.

MIDDLETowN, April s.-James and William Ryan, brothers, who yesterday pleaded guilty to having committed burglaries at the store of W. G. Spencer and George Lord, who were each sen- fenced to five years in the state prison, have made confession. The convicts secured considerable booty at both rob- berles, which the owners are anxious to recover. James Ryan gave the officer a clue which, it is said, will lead to ar r 'sts of a surprising nature. Officers are at work on the cases and it is very likely that arrests will follow in a day or two. MT Spencer recovered one re- volver that was stolen from him and has the assurance of the thieves that the re- mainder of his property is yet in Port land. MT Lord recovered the pipes and holders stolen from him at the last bur- glary. The goods taken from him at first burglary were pawned in Bridge port. The younger Ryan had a saw in his cell with which he intended to make his escape, but the jailer discovered it before he had an opportunity to make an attempt to escape.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Denny Lyons, the great batting third baseman of the St Louis Browns. made no less than four home runs in his first game in St Louis.
 Hughes, the winner of the recent walking match in New York says he is ready to run six days, IA hours, against George Littlewood, the holder of the Police Gazette" championship belt, or James Albert, who claims to be the champion of America, for $1 ,000 to 8 800 side and the long distance pedes- train championship of the world.
 On their way south Manager Leadley of the Clevelands paired Childs win Gruber, when, to his astonishment, the little second baseman made big kick and when asked his reason, replied Last season I slept with Pitcher Keefe, and he used to wake me up all hours during the night to rub his arm, and I took an oath to never sleep with another pitcher"
 Out of all the base ball cranks in Wa rerbury only four attended the meeting called for last night to elect officers and make preparations for the coming sea son. Thirty-one gentlemen subscribed for stock when the paper was passed around few weeks ago and it was ex- pected that at least half of that number would be present last night. Another attempt to get together will be made Friday evening in the police court room.

MEAT AND FISH.
POrterhOuse Steak Selling at Thiry Cent,
 n Pound.

a
 Meat dealers predict that the price of meat which has been gradually rising for the past few weeks, will go still higher. Porterhouse steak in now sell ing for twenty-five, twenty-seven and thirty cents a pound. The dealers say that beef which could be bought up to within few weeks ago for S4 50 a hundred weight is now scarce at $9. The price of pork has also advanced two cents pound, which is accounted for by the statement that with the rise of beef, consumers fell back on pork. Local dealers say that prices will not drop until September.
 On the other hand the fish dealers anticipate good summer. Last sum- mer the high price of ice played hobs with their profits. Halibut is very scarce article, but there will be a good variety of small fish and there will probably be a big run of shad until June, when fresh blue fish will be in season. The winter just closed has been hard one for fish dealers, stock being scarce and so high that most of the ped dlers who took to the road in lent gave up in disgust after a weeks trial.

 Last Night.

old ssBillo Deans Wife Killed By the Cars
 Last Night.
 Probably no couple who ''tramped it'' were as we'll known to people on the route from Bridgeport, to Waterbury, to New Haven, to Hartford and back again as s'Old Bill" Dean and his wife Maggie. Until yesterday they had been lon the road" for at least quarter of a century, peddling soap, matches, pen cils and other small articles. and had gone over this same route during all these years. In the summer they car ried their food with them in their packs on their backs, built little fires in the woods to cook their meals and dropped down to sleep wherever they happened to be when night overlook them.
 They were a most affectionate couple and could not bear to be separated. Both have long police records in the four cities where they visit, but they never were know n to do anything worse than get drunk The police always knew that when 'Old Bill' was arrested Maggie" would follow in few min utes. Such was always the case and the police court judges have been c"n- si 1erate enough tO make their terms in jail of equal lel sth
 The old couple will be seen together no more. Maggie was killed last evell- l ing Old B Il and his wife had spent Tuesday night in Milford and decided to push on to BranfOrd, where the latter has a cousin named Michael Corcoran. They reached New Haven a little before 5 o'clock and struck out on to the Shore Line track. Both had been drinking but they were not drunk. They were on the railroad bridge, which runs above the carriage road near the East Haven quarries when the train of Con ductor l.. c. Beehe, which left New Haven at 5:15 overlook them.
 Bill tried to pull his wife off the track but was unable to do so and the trair passed over her body, killing her in stantIy. In his efforts to save his wife the old man fell off from the bridge down into the roadway below, where ht remained unconscious for several min utes. The train was stopped and the re mains of the manRled woman were pu into the train. The man was placed or stretcher and put into the baggage cal and the couple were taken to the Eas Haven station. The woman's body wa nearly cut in two by the train and al arm and leg were broken. In he pockets were found broken clay pipe piece of plug tobaco and a small til can containing lard. Dean will proba bly, recover.
