 HARTFORD, Feb 2.-The house met to
 day .;and after calling the roll on the pending question to change the rules giving power to the.speaker to adjourn l for..one month, the vote was found to be eighty-three against and nine in favor of the measure, only a handful of re- publicans being present. Speaker Paige declared that there was no quo- rum present and ordered an adjourn
 ment until 1 o'clock tomorrow after noon.
 | Representative \ Walker protested against the adjournment and called to | the democratic members to remain in their seats. He then read a carefully

WANTED TosEE BoRJEsseN HANGED New Jersey Woman Who Is the Wonder of Her Sex.

There are good many men who would will wilt at the thought of wit messing a hanging, but the execution of Andrew Borjessen at Litchfield, Jan- uary %, brought to light woman who wanted to be present. She lives in New Jersey, and this may account for her nerve. A few weeks ago she wrote to Sheriff Allen, requesting a ticket of admission to the execution. She stated in the letter that no doubt the sheriff would be surprised to receive such a request from one of the fair sex, but as woman she would take pleasure in seeing capital punishment inflicted on a man who had murdered one of her fel- low women.
 It did not take Sheriff Allen long to decide that hanging was no place for woman, unless. possibly, she was the person to be hanged, and he wrote to the New Jersey woman, declining to grant her request.

This pro- duced a small debate. Alderman Riley thought it was too hard on poor people, most of whom are willing to pay their sewer assessments, etc, if they are I of them were burdened enough without paying the additional interest on the liens.

 business taken up was the balloting fO

Council man Byron was declared elected. r Petitions for sewers ill Riversid street, from Washington stree southerly, and for sewer in Round Hil 7 street, were refused. ?

Like the Charlie Ross Case,

GREENWICH, Feb 2.-The eight year old son of Charles Waterbury, one of the most prominent residents here, was kidnapped yesto rday afternoon by three men in wagon, while on his way home from school. A note was sent to MT Waterbury stating that the boy would be returned. for $6,OOO, and unless that amount .e was paid he would be killed. The note was signed "River Boys'' and asked MT Waterbury to be at Miller's bridge tonight with the money. MT Waterbury has employed number of detectives, but says he will pay the money to recover his child.
