QUESTIONABLE all p. of l. men democrats?
Answer-NO, all p. OF l. men are not
democrats. There Is Wilcox who was, but
he Is not any longer.
Q-Why Is Wilcox not a democrat?
A-Because he says that the democrats
are dishonest; they ride ON free passes and
were parties to the mileage steal for private
gain and for party gain stole two seats In
the Senate.
Q-What is a free pass?
"A free pass is a card which the rail-
roads give to Legislators saying they can
travel without paying fare.
Q-Why do the railroads give free passes?
A-Because they are generous and ex-
pect legislators to be generous. You know
the golden rule says ''dO unto other as you
would have others do unto you"
Q-What Is the mileage steal?
Alt is travelling over the State visiting
institutions, and while railroad fare does
not cost anything to Legislators, it does cost
the State.
Q-Do the railroads send in bills to the
State? III
A-No. the Legislators vote themselves
that which belongs to the railroads. They
collect the money.
Q--Are the Legislators conductors?
, A-Not exactly, they conduct schemes,
however.
Q--Does Senator Wilcox have a pass and
visit State institutions?
A-No Senator Wilcox was not informed
by the democratic member Of the committee
when they were to visit, and he has no pass.
why did they not tell Wilcox when
they were to visit?
A-Wilcox does not drink nor play pedro
and they thought his company would not be
agreeable to them,
Q-Who are these p. of l. men?
A-The p. of | men are they who furnish
ed the pass for the democrats to ride into
Office and now they have no use for the z.
of l.
Q-What will the p. of / do now?
A-They will probably leave the demo-
Gratis as they don't relish their treatment.
Q-Can the p. of l hope for anything.from
the democrats?
A-NO. He who enters a partnership
with that party leaves hope behind, and all
questions of Patron interest will be referred
to the committee on fisheries. This is the
proper committee to deal with Questions re-
lating to suckers" as the democrats ex-
plain.

Hattie Moses Murdered.

On Tuesday evening ut Saginaw, Hattie
Moses, q former resident of OwossO and
wife of George Moses, was shot and instant
ly killed by Edward Rogers. The details
of the affair as told by an eye witness are as
follows: ''Was in the house occupied by
Hattie when Edward Rogers came there.
After reaching the house Rogers asked
Hattie If she would consent to marry him,
which she refused to do. He then asked
her if he might take her dog up town with
him, and this she refused. to allow. This
conversation occurred in the back room.
Rogers then requested her to accompany
him into the front room, as he desired to
speak TO her in private. With this she COM
piled, passing into the front room and clos
ing the door after them. AS she closed the
door her little son said that they often quar-
relied and he was going to listen to them.
They remained in the front room but a few
seconds, when she opened the door, and
while she had her hand on the dOor-knOb,
about to pass through, Rogers fired. Miss
German became frightened and ran out of
the house and into her own residence. Hat
tie also ran out of the house into the yard.
Her hands were raised above her head, and
uttering one loud scream she fell to the
ground a short distance from tine door.
From the door of her house Miss German
saw ROgers'come out, walk toward Hamil-
ton street and then return to where the un-
fortunate woman lay. He looked at her,
and then raising her head kissed her twice.
He then placed the weapon to his own
breast and fired" Mrs. Moses had been
twice married, the first time to Martin
Ockerman (now q resident of Corunna) by
whom she had two children, q son now four
teen years old and q daughter twelve. They
separated and she afterward married Geo.
Moses, of this city, and lived with him
until three years ago, The Saginaw Herald
says of the woman: ''While the life of the
murdered woman may not have been blame
less, she was apparently more sinned against
than SHINING. Whatever her faults may
have been she evidently loved her children,
working hard to support them and keep
them In school. Yesterday an east side in
surance agent visited the undertaking es-
of g. l.. Benjamin to obtain
proofs of the wOman's death, stating that she
had a life insurance policy in favor of her
children, which was paid up. This sum
will prove q material and i'm providing for
the children. The unfortunate woman
would have been 81 years of age April l."

THE wlLLIMANTlc TROUBLE.
Another Barn Burned and the Cost elIos
Accused of the Crime.

Accused of the Crime.
W1LLrIAN1Ic, Dec 17.-Late last
night a large barn owned by Martin
Flaherty at Eagleville was burned to
the ground. Twenty tons of hay, two
horses, wagon and other property was
consumed. The loss is about $4,000,
insurance small. The fire was not far
from the home of the notorious Costello
family, and Mr. Flaherty believes they
are responsible for it. This is the third
barn he has lost in two years and each
time considerable property in addition
to the barn was destroyed. The Cos
tellos and Flaherty have been on bad
terms for long time and last nights
fire is believed to be one of the results of
the feud. Flaherty has lost a number
of cattle by poisoning by some I'M
known miscreant. Dennis Costello was
interviewed by a Connecticut Associated
Press representative this morning and
said that his brother James has had to
shoulder every crime committed in
Mansfield and Eagleville for two years
and half. He thought it very strange
that two-thirds of the barns burned
were insured for more than they were
worth and that the owners would re-
place them with modern structures as
soon as the insurance money was paid.
Regarding the burning If the Barrows'
silk mill at Storrs. Costello said his
brother was in Jail when the fire
occurred and in fact served four days
after the date of the fire. This was one
of the crimes charged to James.
