rAE ANNIvERsARY oF Als CRIME,


The Day Upon which Patrick ID. Flana-
gan Must Die-The Prisoner Finds
Fault with the Verdict Other Cases
Before the Court.
At 10 o'clock this morning large num-
Der OF spectators had gathered in the
superior court room at New Haven, TO
hear Judge Fem pass sentence upon
Patrick ID. Flanagan, who was convicted
yesterday of murder in the first degree.
Just on the stroke of the hour Judge
Fem took his seat and instructed the
sheriff to open court. At the same
moment the prisoner was brought in.
After order had been restored the judge
ordered Flanagan to stand and asked
him if he had anything to say why SEN
tence of death should not be passed
upon him in accordance with the ver-
dict of the jury.
The prisoners restless eyes glanced
hastily around the room and then fas-
tened on the judge as he said: 81
don't see how the jury could bring i'll u
verdict in the first degree, when no mo-
tive was shown"
Judge Fem then carefully reviewed
the evidence, said the prisoner had a fair
and impartial trial before an intelligent
jury, and in conclusion said: 1T is the
sentence of this court that you he con
fined in the New Haven county Jail un-
til May 2, 1892, on which day, between
the hours of 8 and 12 o'clock you will be
hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and may God have mercy on your
soul"
Not a muscle of the murderer's face
moved during the ordeal and when SEN
| tence was pronounced he was led away
to his cell without showing the least
emotion.
Attorney O'Neill gave notice that he
would ask for a new trial. The day set
for the execution is the second ami
versary of the murder of McDer.nott.
OTHER WATERBURY, CASES.
Other Waterbury cases tried at this
session of the court are as follows:
Thomas Burns entered plea of guilty
to charge of burglary and was SEN
fenced to one year in states prison.
Burns was captured by Officers Bannon
and Brickel in O'Mara's saloon on Burn
ham street one night several months
ago. He was under the influence of
liquor and had effected an entrance by
breaking pane of glass. This is Burns
second term in Wethersfield, he having
served five years for committing bur-
glary at Newtown.
William Noonan, youth of 10,
pleaded guilty to the charge of theft
from person, and was sentenced to one
year IN states prison. Noonan
and Thomas LalIy were arrested
for taking watch from James
Dowd on Union street, on the
night of January 5. Noonan took
the whole blame upon himself and Lally
was discharged.
John WEIGH. charged with being a
tramp, was discharged. WEIGH was ar
rested in a carriage shed on Kingsbury
street, where he was found asleep with
three shirts taken from neighboring
clothesline in his possession.

STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.

improvements Ordered by the Board of
Road Commissioners.
The road board held Il meeting yester-
day afternoon.
1t was recommended that Wall street
extension be worked to grade. 1t was
voted to raise the curb and cutters ON
East Main street from William to Wall

new walks. This will make similar
improvement as was accomplished in
the lower part of the street.
The street Inspector was instructed to
repair the walls of the bridge over Little
brook on Hawkins street and also to OBJ
tain figures for the grading of Hillside
avenue between Willow street and
Chestnut avenue. The city engineer

THE MONTH OF MARY.
COMMUNICATED BY W.

COMMUNICATED BY W.
IT'S the sweet sMonth of Mary the
young flowers are lending
Their beauty and fragrance to deck
her loved shrine,
While innocent hands, near the hal
lowed spot tending,
Are weaving far chaplets her brow to
entwihe.
No longer, bright May, is thy bloom
By off'rings to Venus, the goddess of
love;
By piety's children thou'rt now dedi-
Gated
To the pure queen of virgins, our
mother, above.
IT'S soothing devotion, for Oh, when
were kneeling
Round the dear little altar, to breathe
a low prayer,
What sad, pleasing mem'ries come
over us stealing,
Of chiidhoods first hours, ere we knew
sin or care:
When we lisped our first caves
while on our souls beaming
Were visions of heaven we may ne'er .
know again,
All. then down the cheek come the
contrite tears stealing
That were now not SO pure, or SO fer
vent as then.
Oh, we who are weary of chasing
earth's pleasures,
Who feel in your hearts q void moth
ing can fill,
Or who having grasped it's frail per-
ishing treasures,
Feel the thorn in your bosoms there
ranking still,
Oh, come in the sweet month of
Mary" there praying
From the earth's sinful pleasures the
gay mask shall fall,
And whispering angels will soothe the
soul, saying,
One moment in prayer is indeed
worth them all.

KELLY SAYS

That the great wheat Spectator Hutch
inson has gone crazy according to the lat
est reports. He had been buying up all
the wheat on the market he could get hold
of, thinking to make big profit by selling
at a higher profit and so make flour cost
more. However, when he read Kelly's ad-
vertisement in the DEMOCRAT and saw
how much wheat was going to be raised
this year, it overbalanced his mind and
he failed to meet his margins. Therefore
it is with the greatest pleasure that Kelly
informs the people of this city that wheat
has dropped cents per bushel and flour
20 cents per barrel.
Kelly says further that if some butcher
of this city would only show that the in
crease of beef for 1891 was going to be as
large proportionately as wheat is going to
be, he would probably drive some of the
Chicago meat men crazy, and then the
people would be able to buy meat at its &C.
tual value. Grain has dropped, why
should beef be highs
Kelly opens his famous Tutti- Fruit Ice
Cream parlor to-day at his North Main
street store. This delicious icecream
is frozen by electricity, and every
body knows the effect of electricity on the
nerves. zssr.a u
Fresh Eggs are now selling for 90 cents
a dozen. This is cheaper than meat. If
you will buy Kelly's genuine New Eng
land Bread you will never bake.

PILLS AT THE COUNTY JAIL.


Every Prisoner Must Take Medicine at
Prescribed Times.
1t is not generally known that the
cathartic pills used in the New Haven
county Jail from Sheriff Gates down
along the line to the vilest criminal, not
excepting the county commissioners,
are made by one of the leading drug
gists in the Naugatuck valley. The
pills are known as "Forty-eight-in-
FOUR" and the compounds are
from a prescription of the late
DIR Ambrose Beardsley of Birmingham.
Every person entering the Jail is COM
PEELED to take dose and at prescribed
times afterward during his incarcera-
ton. To the pills is due the fact that
very little of the grip invaded the Jail.
Sheriff Gates had slight attack of it,
but kept at his duties every day and as
for Jailer Beardsley his anatomy was
proof against anything in the way of
disease.

A PROLIFIC YEAR.
SOMETHING BOSTON MEDICAL MAN
CAN'T FOR.

A medical man, who knows what
he. is talking about, says:
This is a baby year. don't
know how to account for it, but the
statistic will bear out my assertion
that some years are noted for the
great number of births that occur.
This year of our Lord. 1891, is one of
these seasons. If you will take the
pains to look the matter up yoa will
see that 1884 was very prolific Year,
and so was 1885 and 1888. Now we
have 1901 with more than the usual
number of births. There will be a
great number Of happy families before
1892 GENES to greet Us. 1t is FORUM
