CRUELTY BEAT A PUPIL.

Professor Dumbart Must Answer for AIa
Act in Court.
NoRwALK, Conn, March 26.-Prof f.
Fl. Dumbart, of the East Norwalk School,
severely whipped Richard Hendricks, one
of his pupils. and will have to answer for
it in court.
The boy has been absent sick for week,
and when he appeared in school during
the morning he gave the professor a note
from his mother explaining his absence.
The professor said it was forgery and
ordered the boy to go to his private room.
There the professor beat him severely
about the body with a ruler.
The boy was carried to his home by his
classmates. The lower part of his body
was beaten to a pulpy mass of jelly, from
which upon the slightest touch the blood
oozed. The boy was placed in bed and
medical aid summoned. He is at present
in a precarious condition. The mother of
the boy swore out a warrant for the
arrest of the teacher. She has also COM
planned to the Connecticut Humane So
ciety, and the society will take action in
the matter. She also intends to bring a
civil suit against Professor Dumbart for
damages.
The action of the professor is harshly
criticised here, and q number of parents
of children who attend the school have
taken their children away. Professor
Dumbart came to this city from Brooklyn,
where, it is claimed, he lost lucrative
position in the schools on account of his
treatment of the scholars.

JUDGE HALL ISSUES A MANDAMus

Ordering Comptroller Staub to Pay Sec
Rotary Brainard's Salary.
HARTFORD, March 26.-Rumors are
rife that the present assembly will close
its antics either today or early next
week. The action, yesterday, OF the
house in voting down the resolution de-
claring the democratic candidates elect
ed, instead of tabling the measure, is
taken as a republican refusal to consider
the propositions for a settlement under
consideration in the senate. This action
has dissipated all chances of a settle
ment and an adjournment or recess
until fall is looked for,
The great objection to this step, by
the republicans, is that If such action IS
taken General Merwin's chances of be-
coming governor will be lost. General
Merwin is at the capitol to day and this
morning held a long conference with
| Acting Governor. Buckley, Speaker
Paige and Messrs Green and Judson. 1t
| is understood that General Merwin is
opposed to adjournment.
Yesterday afternoon in the superior
court Judge Hall issued a mandamus
ordering Comptroller Staub To pay Aus
tin Brainard his salary of 500 66 as ex-
ecutive secretary. The papers were
Moore. The mandamus orders the
comptroller to pay Brainard his
salary or else show cause, on
April /, why he did not do SO. At
torney Hammersley has advised Comp
troller Staub not to pay the money be-
cause Governor Morris appointed Sey-
mour Loomis of New Haven to the posi-
ton of executive secretary, early in
February, and because the constitution
says that the comptroller shall exercise
his own discretion in the performance
of his duty, and that Bulkeley had no
more right to appoint an executive
secretary than any other private citizen.
The house convened at IL o'clock and
on motion of Mr. futile, house bill No
55, an amendment to the constitution
providing that supreme court judges
shall not be retired when they reach
the age of 20. was taken from the table.
After considerable discussion it was
voted down, only seven voting in favor
of the resolution.
A recess was then taken until 3
o'clock.

Domestic Happiness !!

"Good morning, Mary. walk right into
the parlor, have something to show you. !"
For heavens sake, Bridget, you sur
prise me. II it We're. to the hen coop you
were inviting me, to inspect the latest
brood of chickens, or the cellar to see the
last load of vegetables, Iwould not think
so much of it; but the parlor of all places,
and in my old clothes and only intend
ing to stop moment for a friendly morn
ing call"
Never mind the clothes, Mary, I have
something there that cheers my heart and
drives away dull care and makes even
father think he has grown young again"
Mary, surprised.-"For heavens sake
Bridget, where did you get the piano
"Sure did not tell you it was no ordi-
nary thing had to show you And why
need you ask me where it came from. In
deed, do t You know what is common
saying in Waterbury, that all the best
pianos in town come from Shoninger's
just look at the name on the lid, its a
household word, and their pianos are
we'll, just look at it, it speaks for itself"
Elegant is no name for it; but it seems
to me you kept this matter pretty quiet,
not even letting your best friends know
you were going to buy a piano. Bid you
have it struggled in during the night ~
'Not at all, Mary, had my reasons,
good and sufficient ones, too. You see
just as soon as family. drops hint about
getting piano sometime this side of eter-
nifty, the house is over run with those

pesky agents, who just about make life
uncomfortable, trying to work cheap,
worth ess instrument. So / just kept still
and when was ready for business, visited
Mr. Pelham mt Shoninger's and told him j
desired a piano of good quality, at a reason
able price and on easy terms. What's the
use of bothering with weak house, es-
pecially when you have got to do business
with them for long time. Good, old
fashioned American dollars and plenty of
them should be behind evory company
that sells so expensive thing as piano,
that the customer may be protected, and
u warrant mean more than word of
mouth"
Mary-''I am charmed with the piano.
Our girls have been talking about buying
one themselves. Would you mind telling
the price 2"
''Not at all. 1t is one of Shoningers
best and cost $500, but You see, they being
the manufacturers, every customer gets q
discount from the regular price, as it
stands to reuson that they can do better
than small dealers with no capital or re-
putation behind them. They have pianos
at all prices, hut 1 go on the plan that
good economy consists in always buying
the best"
Fright you are. 1 always did give you
credit for being pretty clear headed and
now am sure of it. We might as we'll
be out of the world as out of fashion. So
of course We shall get Shoninger Piano,
the Lord willing, after Easter.

An IntereatInr Relic.

A sportsman who recently returned
from hunting trip in the Indian Ma
ton, brought with him to Wichita,
Kan, an interesting relic, which he dis
covered half buried on the bank of q
creek in the Cherokee strip, forty miles
west Of Pond creek. The relic is an
old rifle barrel. On it is the inscription:
''Old Mike Jones, presented by Kit Car
son, 1s40." On the side of the barrel is
the word ''scalps," followed by twenty
three file marks Around the spot
where the barrel lay buried were the
bones of horses and men andtwo skulls.
The find probably reveals the fate OF
Mike Jones, who Is remembered as a
member of Kit Carson's adventurous
band, and who, about 1860, mysterious
~ disappeared from his winter haunts,
and has never been heard Of since. The
bones lying around the old rifle proba-
bly, tell q silent tale of an Indian attack
and q raising Of scalps.

INSURANCE STATISTICS.
From the Annual Report of Commissioner
ESI

49,"
Fyler.
Insurance Commissioner Fyler pub
lished yesterday his annual report on
life and accident insurance. He reviews
briefly the general subject of life in
surance as reflected by the companies
doing business here. OF the regular"
companies there are of this state and
81 from other states. There gross assets
are 1924 PSI, 1S2, an increase of about
$54, 432 900 in Il year. There aggregate
surplus to the insured is $50, 739. 02S.
The total amount of risks written by
these companies is 3,745, 035 policies for
$423, 500, las. There are 10 assessment
companies with assets of $9,791 ,34S in
surfing $3.50, 3S9, 226 of risks. The acct
dent companies have S,099, 900, 900 at
risk.
Commissioner Fyler doubts the ad-
visibility of insuring lives in foreign
countries, on the ground that it involves
a surrender of control of assets and also
applies mortality tables of healthy
countries to others where the death rate
is probably heavier and he thinks assess
ment companies nominally benevolent
and charitable" should as II rule come
under state supervision.
