JOHN PFRENDER,S BODY
Found in the Creek Near Waverl


Found in the Creek Near Waverly
Grove.
The body of John Pfrender, Familiarity
known as Clutch John,' was found in
the creek near Waverly grove yesterday
morning. Pfrender has been missing for
two months, during which time the creek
has been frequently dredged for his body.
The remains were discovered by young
lads who were in the vicinity. There is
now no reasonable doubt that John COM
mitted suicide.
G. w. Bradley, the Crown street saloon
keeper and an intimate friend of Pfrender,
paid the lads reward of $40. Mr.. Brad
ley says that there was heavy southeast
gale just after the day that Pfrender was
missing and the body was undoubtedly
swept up the creek at that time. He says
that John was respondent and undoubted-
ly committed suicide.
The body was resting on it's back and
had probably come to the surface only
short time before. 1t was frightfully
swollen. 1t was identified by the cloth
ing. It is expected that the burial will
take place this afternoon at Westville
cemetery, where Pfrender owned lot. The
remains are now at the rooms of Stahl &
Hegel.
Medical Examiner Barnett viewed the
body and came to the conclusion that
death was due to drowning.

Press Comments.

Following are few press comments rel
ative to state politics:
And the county commissioners are wait
ing with open arms and wide open books
for the senatorial Investigators. New Ha-
ven county commissioners can and doubt
less will offer information equal in it's sur
prising effect to that of this sudden virtu-
GUS and inquiring spasm of the democratic
statesmen.-Meriden Republican.
Chairman Benton had a very big "stint"
set before him, last fall, and he acquitted
himself manfully in:trying circumstances.
His conduct of affairs since the election
and during the Legislative squbble has been
marked by shrewdness, discretion and q
readiness of resource which has commend
ed him ever more to the good will of the
itself in honoring such STANDARDIZATION
Bulletin.
At last it is announced, after considers
BILE "prodding" on the part of republicans
and republican newspapers in this vicin-
ity, that Judge Morris will begin his quo
warranto proceedings against Governor
Bulkeley this week Tuesday. The sooner
the better, judge. What is wanted in this
gubernatorial dispute is lawful and
authoritative settlement of the disputed
law points.-Norwich Bulletin.
Says the Boston Journal: "It is probably
a wicked wag who started the story that If
Governor Hill of New York asks from
Governor Bulkeley the surrender of the
chief conspirator in the Robertson case,
the latter will refuse, on the ground that
it is violation of the spirit of the consti-
tuition that Mr.. Hill should pretend to ex-
ercise the functions of governor when he
is a senator of the United States" Where
upon the Norwich Bulletin remarks: eyes,
indeed, that is simply bit of waggery.
There isn't any danger that Governor
Buckley will stretch the law to keep any
rogues in this state who don't belong in it.
Neither Connecticut nor its governor han
ker after the society or the gratitude of
criminals"
How to get rid of the senate, is now the
problem which agitates Usurper Buckley.
Bridgeport Farmer. The executive
crowbar is healthy and the executive arm
is honest and strong. If an emergency
arises the senate will arise too.-Aeriden

A SAD ACCIDENT

At Webster Street Crossinx-Frank
Richardson's Leg Crushed by a
Passing Train.
At the Webster street crossing of the
Northampton division of the Consolidated
road Frank Richardson of 227 Shelton ave.
was so seriously injured last evening that
he will be manned for life. His Ri ht leg
was crushed to mass, below the knee, by
a passing freight train after which he was
taken to the hospital.
Richardson claims that while waiting for
the train to pass he was pushed on to the
track by two other young men, and was
drawn under the wheels of one of tho
cars.
Some of the men who saw the young
man after the accident, doubt the story
that he was pushed on to the track, and
think he may have been riding from the
depot, and jumped from the train at the
crossing.
The mother of the victim of the accident
resides in Tampa, Fla. He is by trade a
carpenter.
He was 80 weak last night from loss of
blood that amputation was postponed. At
midnight his life was despaired of.

"A Big Legal Battle.
Hon. Luzon B. Morris, supported by
several lawyers here, will move in the
superior court to-day in quest of the pos
session of the Office of governor of Connec-
ticut. Quo warranto proceedings will be
instituted, the plaintiff being Judge Nor
ris and the defendant Governor Buckley.
Judge Prentice will be on the bench. He
was formerly Governor Bulkeley's secre-
tary.
There are democrats in this section of
the state who would much prefer to have
the first move in this great legal battle
submitted to some other judge for the
very reason of the intimacy that existed
between Governor Buckley and Judge
Prentice, but the case goes to the supreme
court anyway. Judge Morris will have
the aid of four lawyers-ex-Governor In
gersoll, State Attorney Doolittle, Judge
Henry Stoddard of this city, and Attor-
ney Hamersley of Hartford.
There will be two complainants and
thereby General Samuel E. Merwin will be-
come involved in the proceedings. One
case will be that of Judge Morris against
Governor Buckley, the other that of DR..
Alsop, the democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor against General Merwin
As far as the other democratic state officers
are concerned it is expected that the de-
cision in the two cases scheduled for trial
will cover the case of the secretary Of
state and the state treasurer. 49,.
The reason why General Merwin is
brought into this litigation so directly was
explained to-day on these grounds. If the
Judge Morris, thus declaring him rightful
ly entitled to the gubernatorial Office, the
democratic leaders think that an emergen-
cy might arise whereby Judge Morris
would be prevented from performing the
functions of Office. For instance, if he had
TO leave the state temporarily, the Office
would under such circumstance be still in
the hands of the republicans and General
Merwin, the present lieutenant governor,
would be called upon to oficiate as COVER
aor, The democrats therefore want It thus
axsd.

Laura, the little three-year-old daughter
of John Kyle, residing at 1873 Day street,
had very narrow escape from serious in
juries yesterday. She was looking out of
the second-story window when several of
her companions who were playing on the
sidewalk beckoned to her to come down.
She leaned forward to look out the window
and in 30 doing lost her balance and fell to
the pavement beneath, a distance of about
forty feet. DR.. Lewis, who happened to
be passing at the time, picked the little
one up and carried her into the house,
where, strange to relate, he ascertained
that her injuries consisted Of only few
bruises.
