MURDERERs REcREATING.

Scene in the Court Yard at the New Haven
Jail.
Three murderers at recreation is one
of the sights at the New Haven county
Jail. They are Peter Estrom, who killed
man in a Branford row, and who has
yet to come before the grand jury for
Indictment; Angelic Petrillo, the Italian
who murdered a fellow countryman,
his brother-in-law, in New Haven, and
Patrick Flanagan, who shot man in
this CITY and who has been found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
These men are obliged to have physical
exercise the same as the most law abid
ing citizen in Connecticut. If they
were forced to remain in their narrow
cells their close confinement would soon
kill them.
There ie a large courtyard which, by
the way, is the site on which the gallOws
is erected, in the rear of the Jail Office.
Here several times a week this trio
of prisoners is taken for exercise. They
can run, jump, work or indulge in
any other form of reasonable ex-
ertion. They confine themselves to
simply walking up and down the
enclosure. On the sides and at the
north end are the high brick walls of
the Jail buildings. 1t is impossible for
them to make their escape should there
be disposition to make break for
liberty. In addition to being hemmed
in by insurmountable walls the custom
airy watch of the Jail officials tends to
minimize the possibility of escape.
Flanagan is very serious in these
walks up and down the yard. He
manifests disposition to argue on his
torical subjects if anybody cares to
engage in debate. He is very well in
formed in history and those who have
crossed his path in argument on history
meet an individual who displays enter
tanning and definite familiarity with his
subject. He is fairly well informed on
biblical matters. He has not been very
well lately and has been nourished on
milk punch little and other stimulants
necessary for man in declining health.

SOMETHING IN THE WIND.
Why a Fast Train Over the New En-
land Road Would Not

Why a Fast Train Over the New Eng
land Road Would Not Pay.
The Waterbury correspondent of the
New Haven Register says: Austin Cor
bins scheme for carrying people from
Brooklyn to Boston in the same time
that is now consumed between the
Grand Central depot and Boston over
the New Haven road is received with
some iOcredulity here. The New Eng
land road is already doing a good deal
more than it can do well, and travellers
of experience would be apt to perfer the
old line, even if the time were longer
than to risk their lives at
accelerated speed around the sharp
curves of the New England on a track
already over-crowded. What the road
would do with the additional business is
really hard to see. 1t is already about
to make new connections over tho
Poughkeepsie bridge, which must add
materially to its heavy freight traffic.
If it could get some business that would
pay better, and could have less of it, SO
that the damages of frequent accidents
would not eat up all the profits, it might
get money enough ahead to do some
needed Strengthening of it's line and
some still more necessary dou ble-track-
ing. In spite of the plausibility and
careful detail of Mr. Corbin's plans, it is
still suspected that he must have some
thing else in view than the seemingly
impossible scheme of through quick
line under present conditions.

Mrs shanahan's Death.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
The account of Mrs Shanahan's death,
as described in the Herald of yesterday,
is for the most part a misleading one,
and calculated to damage very severely
the character of her poor, sober and
supplemented daughter. When called
at the house I found Mrs Shanahan in a
dying condition. Her daughter was
naturally grief stricken upon being in
formed that her mother could live but a
very few minutes longer. The
daughters husband is occasionally
afflicted with disorder of the brain
and on this occasion he was unwittingly
adding to the already existing trouble
by giving very boisterous evidence of a
severe attack of the malady. There
were no signs whatever of debauch or
violence and the apartments were clean
and neat. Mrs Shanahan died before I
left the room.

How is it that Kelly can sell cheaper

J. Francis, Genl. Pass. Agent Of the B.
& NJ. makes the following suggestions
which it would be we'll 30 take under
consideration.-The Burlington will
advertise these excursions extensively,
and will distribute large quantities Of
matter advertising the agricultural ca
liabilities Of the states traversed by its
line. Such advertising must necessar-
lly he general ip its character. 1t
should therefore be supplemented by
the various communities setting on foot
some puplic move to get up advertising
matter setting forth the advantages
and inducements which the different
localities may have to offer to home-
seekers. A well qualified man should
then be selected to 90 east and distrlb-
ute such matter and personally work
up an interest in his section among
eastern farmers. No man should be
selected to 80 east whose heart is not
in the york. The railways in the past
have furnished transportation for
many suca advertising agents. and
their work has been NO small factor in
the splendid growth Of the TRANSMITS
souri, region.
