COURT NOTES.

The Court of Common Pleas for Litchfield county. Judge Roraback pre- siding, opened at Winsted Monday of this week. The cases on docket for the April term were assigned date for trial and the court adjourned until April 13
 The April term of the SuperiorCourt, Judge Fenn presiding, came in at New Milford Tuesday of this week. This week and next will be occupied in the trial of civil cases, when the court will be adjourned to Litchield, April 21st, for the trial of prisoners now in Jail. The number of commitments to jail for the past six months has been very light as compared with former years, due, as it is thought to the fact that a workshop has been attached to the jail. The tramps and easy going individuals now realize the fact that the hotel de jail at LitchHeld is place that furnishes board and lodging, steady employment with mighty poor pay, consequently they go around. Under the old regime it was quite a popular winter resort for the knights of the road, where they could smoke their pipes in peace around 8 good fire, tell stories and map out the coming summer campaign. The county commissioners last fall made contract with Frank E. Clark of Bridgeport, (for- merly of Salisbury and for several years contractor for the labor of the jail birds of Fairfield county. Mir Clark has an nexed workshop to the Litchfield county jail, and now has the able bodied prisoners engaged in making chair bot. toms, etc.

 found that he voted for the present Chi nese restriction law, and spoke in favor of the measure while it was pending in the United States senate, a series of meetings took place and a committee of safety was appointed to take the matter in hand
 The result was that protest against MT. Blair was cabled to the minister of foreign affairs at Pekin. A more formal protest was drawn up and sent to China by mail After several weeks had passed, and nothing being heard from the author ities in the Celestial kingdom, the New York Chinamen began to lose heart, and feared that they had gone too far
 It is said, however, that on Saturday night they received cable dispatch in- forming them that the emQeror's council had decided not to receive Minister Blair in his official capacity. The alleged cable gram briefly announced that Blair was non persona grata, which is the diplomatic phrase indicating that he is not acceptable to the imperial council, and presumably unacceptable to the emperor himself.

trays ln strong coIors the derense1ess con dition of our coast cities. It Is not over drawn, is ite'
 ''It is not nearly SO strong as might have made it. If had pictured the situa- tion as my representative reported it to me 1 should have been called an alarmist. It Is absolutely true that a foreign fleet could send it's gunboats into the East, North and Harlem rivers, and by destroying our rail- way bridges and other mode of communi- cation shut us off first from the mainland and second from all supplies of food. The situation would be simply appalling If you will stop to consider it carefully. It would not be as bad in Boston or Balti- more or other of our Atlantic cities, for these are built upon the mainland and our people could seek refuge in the interior. But New York and Brooklyn are built upon islands and the two and 8 half mill ion inhabitants of these cities would be ab- solutely helpless. I cannot understand why all the people along our coast do not insist that the government shall give them the amplest protection in this respect The present difficulty with Italy-while it is not expected to result in war-will empha- size the necessity on our part of greater precautions against attack"

A Most Horrible Wife Murder Shocks
 Jersey City.
 JERSEY CITY, April 6.-Edward w. Hal lingar, colored, who, it is said, has been both preacher and pugilist, murdered his wife in a most brutal manner at an early hour Sunday morning. The woman had recently left him on account of cruel treat ment. Hallingar, while besotted with liquor, forced an entrance into the house where his wife was stopping and began beating her on the head with lather's hatchet. Again and again he sunk the weapon into the woman's skull
 Even after the woman was dead the in- furiated brute kept striking her with the hatchet, and when he finally desisted the woman's skull was crushed to bleeding mass. Both her arms were almost severed from the body, having been cut while she raised them in an endeavor to ward off the blows. Hallingar then attempted to kill himself He had cut himself severely about the head when the police arrived and disarmed him. The refusal of the woman to again live with him was the reason given by the murderer for his terri. ble crime

Premier Rudini's Reply.


 ROME, April 9.-The Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier, has sent another cable message to the United States on the sub ject of the New Orleans troubles. This message is addressed to the Marquis Im- perial di Francivill, the secretary of the Italian legation at Washington. in whose hands the current business of the Italian legation was placed when Baron Fava pre- sented his letters of recall. Marquis di Rudini instructs the Marquis Imperiai to hand the message referred to to MT. Blaine
 The message is in reply to MT. Blaine's note of Wednesday night, and in it the Marquis di Rudini says Italy has asked for nothing but the regular prompt insti- tuition of proceedings against the parties at New Orleans. He adds that it would have been absurd to claim punishment for the offenders without the guarantee afford ed by regular trial. The diplomatic in- cident, the Marquis di Rudini says, can only be considered when the federal gov ernment has declared in precise terms when the prosecutions will be commenced. In the mean time the Italian government takes cognizance of the general govern ment's declaration acknowledging the fact that compensation is due to the families of the victims by virtue of the treaty ex- isting between the two countries.

Has Edwin Booth Retire d.?

BRooKLYN, April 6.-When Edwin Booth, at the close of the performance in the Brooklyn Academy of Music Saturday, came before the curtain in response to ap- plause that would not be silenced until he had spoken, he said:
 II hope that this is not the last time that 1 shall appear before you."
 It undoubtedly was his last appearance for the season, and recent events had caused very general belief in rumor that he was to retire from the stage forever. The remark, therefore, was greated with especial applause. So widespread had been the belief that those who have seen him again and again, and who failed to see him Saturday, felt that they missed taking part in memorable event.
 If Edwin Booth never appears again, not only will it mean that the foremost En- glish speaking player has departed from the stage but also that an ancient school of dramatic art has departed. Of this school Booth was the greatest and last representative.

The Coke Region Crisis.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa., April 6.-Several shots were last night fired on the hill back of the works at Morewood, causing great deal of excitement, but at 10 o'clock every thing was quiet. Superintendent Ramsey's house is surrounded by sentinels, and eleven soldiers are sleeping in the kitchen. There is some i'll feeling against him be- cause men who are not out on strike have been ordered to go to work. The strikers threaten violence to any one who goes to work. A check for $10,000 from the head quarters of the United Mine Workers of America was received by the local officials ill Scottdale Saturday night.
 The troops in the coke regions will prob ably be recalled by the middle of this week unless the situation should become moro serious than it now appears.

A BIG PLOT UNEARThko.
Cassie Brooks Reveals the Scheme
 Get Robertson's Fortune,

Casoie Brooks Reveals the Scheme to
 Get Robertson's Fortune.
 NEW YORK, April 6.-For some time In spector Byrnes has been endeavoring to get at the bottom of the alleged conspiracy, concocted several months ago, to obtain possession of the estate of the batchelor millionaire, Loring Robertson, who died at the Hotel St. George on Oct. 10 last The inspector has finally bagged five, the whole number of the persons party to the alleged plot. Their names are Cassie Helen Brooks, Byron w. Cohen, a lawyer of this city; James Daskam, of Stamford, Conn. |; Edward l.. Studwell and Mrs. West.
 The conspiracy was patched in Stam- ford, in which place all of the implicated parties originally lived The scheme, it is charged, originated with Daskam, who shortly after Robertson's death asked Studwell to secure woman to imperson- ate RObertsOn's widow. Studwell pro- cured Mrs. Vest and took her to Cohen's 8 office to make the necessary affidavits. It was decided by Daskam next day, however, that Mrs. West was old and unattractive and Cassie Brooks, who better answered | the requirements, was substituted for her. Cohen liked her appearance and instruct ed her in her role. She was thereafter to call herself Helen Robertson, and was fur nished with a photograph of Robertson and drilled into recital of that gentleman s | conspicuous peculiarities Cohen then l took Miss Brooks before Max Moses, a | notary, and obtained her signature to afi- | davits alleging that she was Robertson s widow, having lived with him as his wife | atvarious places mentioned. Subsequently she petitioned for letters of administration | on Robertson's estate, and was taken by Daskam to Philadelphia to keep her out | of the way of Evarts, Choate & Beaman, counsel for Robertson's heirs.
 Receiving no money from the conspir. ators and becoming alarmed at the increas ing complications, Miss Brooks sought the advice of a friend, upon which she com. municated the details of the plot to Dis trict Attorney Nicoll, resulting in the ar rest of the plotters, who will be arraigned today.
