Mrs. Sahino Ketterer, the mother-in- law of Louis Schlacter, of V. Schlaoter & Co.,, the insolvent firm whose fraudulent transactions have come to light, wishes it denied that she has agreed to make good the liabilities of the company. She also states that Louis does not have entire charge of her property, but that she has been seeing personally to great deal of it lately.
 The time allotted by the superior court for the payment of the $7,875 damages in the famous Waterbury divorce suit of Camp vs. Camp has expired, but the money was not paid in,
 It seems that some time last July notice of an appeal to the supreme court was given by MT. Camps counsel, but the plaintiffs counsel opposed the appeal on the ground that it was not taken within the week allotted by law. This question will be settled by the court in the near future, and pending it's settlement the de- fendant has withheld payment of dam ages.
 In the city court yesterday four more liquor cases were on the docket, but of the quartette only one was tried. This was the case against Francis Crowley, and it consisted of two counts, the violation as stated in the writs having taken place August 23 and 30. The prosecution was conducted by ex-Judge Blydenburgh, and Attorney J. P. Goodhart. The two iouor spotters, Wyncoop and Tnolmes, were both in court. The trial resulted in Crowley being found guilty on both counts and fined $75 and $1S.64 costs on one count and S1O0 and $1S.64 costs in the other.

IuyENILE pEpRAyITY.

Ten.Year-Old Mamie ConrOy Steals $27 of Her Mothers Hard Earned Savfngs-She Is Also Said to Have Stolen Small Articles from other
 Persons.
 A singular instance of juvenile deprav- ity has come to light in Fair Haven.
 The child in question, for she is but child, being little more than ten years of age, is Mary Conroy, and she resides with her mother at A Haven square. For some time she has been source of no end of trouble to her mother by reason of her waywardness, and more particularly in her propensities for taking things which do not belong to her. Several times she has been detected in petty thefts, but owing to her tender years has been dealt with very 1eniently by all paties from whom the articles have been stolen.
 Her latest exploit occurred several days since when she extracted from her moth CTS pocketbook $27, which her mother had saved in order to pay some notes which were soon coming due upon the little home stead. Mamie succeeded in obtaining the money and at once started out to have @ good time with her ill-gotton wealth. The girl is pupil at the Woolsey school and Tuesday morning the attention of her teacher was attracted to her by noticing her playing with something while she was seated at her desk. The teacher immedi- ately proceeded to ascertain what it was which was attract so much of her attention, and upon investigation found that the little girl was playing with money. The teacher at once took the money away from her and was surprised upon counting to find over SIS in the child's possession. Thinking that child so young could not rightfully be possessed of so much money, the teach CT retained the same and at noon went to the child home and acquainted her mother with the particulars of the affair. Mrs Conroy at once went to the place where l she was in the habit of keeping her money | and discovered that all her savings, amount 1 ing to $27, were missing.
 When the child came home she wal charged with the theft and asked wha she had done with the balance of thu 1 money In reply she said that she hat bought some things at several stores ir Fair Haven and in this city and in addi ton had given some of the money tt | several of her companions. This stor, 1 is, however, generally discredited and i is believed that she has hidden the none, l somewhere ana IS spendlng It rom time U
 time as opportunity offers.
 l In addition to her other acts of evil sh
 has been in the habit, it is said, of goin
 into various residences along Exchang
 and Lloyd streets, and taking therefron
 various small articles, such as bottles o
 cologne, etc. Tuesday, while the family o
 a man named Santry was absent attendin
 funeral, she went into their house an
 was discovered by the daughter in the ac
 of ransacking the attic. She was ordere
 out and immediately left. It is not know
 as yet whether or not she succeeded i
 obtaining anything from this house.
 Mrs. Conroy is spoken of by her neigt bors as an industrious hard working wt
 man who is endeavoring to earn an honei livlihood and bring her children up in tt ) proper manner and much sympathy is @. l nrasse6 for her

KEM ROM,
Destroyer of Coal Gases and a
 Saver of Coal.

Destroyer of Coal Gases and a
 Saver of Coal.
 A chemical preparation called Rem Rom, it is claimed, if sprinkled on coal saves 20 per cent. of it and destroys all objectionable and poisonous gases which are apt to permeate the home and pro- duce many serious diseases. It is said that this invention renders the coal per fectly combustible, makes quick and hot fire, lessens the ashes and soot, prevents cinders and clinkere, and produces with out difficulty an even temperature throughout the building. It has been successfully used for the past 15 months by different railroads and hundreds of factories. It is manufactured by the Standard Coal and Fuel Company, whose offices are at 66 Equitable building, Boston. Their factory is in South Boston.
 The Rem Rom Company is introducing for the first time for domestic use this in vention. The chemical compound is put up in packages and retailed at 25 cents a package. For sale by grocers.

 On all the passenger trains of the New York division of the Consolidated road the head brakemen are now being broken in as conductors.
