TROUBLE AT EVA.
The Japanese Laborers Quit
Work and Come to Town.


On Thursday evening over two
hundred japanese laborers en-
ployed on the Eva Plantation
called at the residence of Mr.. w.
j. Lowrey, and demanded the dis
missal of luna with whom one of
the men had some trouble.
Mr.. Lowrey declined to accede
to their wishes, with the result
that the men in body left the
plantation about 2 o'clock yester-
day morning bound for this city,
which they reached about 1890
o'clock. They marched to the
office of the Japanese Government
officials, which is situated in the
Spreckels Block, and told their
story. The men were at once
warned that if they did not return
to work at once they would be ar
rested, with the result that they
boarded the / AS train for EVA,
with the intention of returning to
work.
The trouble was caused by a
luna who locked a lazy laborer
one-half day for not working. The
japanese, who is looked on as des-
perate character, with four other
men, waited in the cane for the
luna, and, after a little talk, the
laborers started in to assault the
overseer, but, owing to the sudden
appearance on the scene of second
luna, who assisted in quelling the
war-like Japanese, the attacked
man was not injured.
The laborer who planned the
assault received a blow on his nose
during the fray which caused the
blood to flow, but otherwise the
man was not injured.
The man then went to the Ia
borers' quarters and told how he
had been brutally assaulted, and
insisted that all of his countrymen
should call at the managers house
and demand the discharge of the
luna or else quit work.
Some of the men readily agreed
to the plan while a large number
did not, but the latter were intimi
dated and finally gave in. Their
the men marched in body to the
managers house, armed with clubs
and stones.
When the men found that Mr.
Lowrey would not grant their un.
just demand, they left for this city
as above stated.
The plantation people are anxi
Gus to have the whole matter sifteC
to discover where the blame lies
so it is probable that both the luna
and the laborer will be arrested to
day and stand trial before Judge
Johnson at Eva.
The japanese who caused the
trouble is looked on as a dangerou!
man. Some time ago he savagely
buried his teeth in the breast of
luna, and again at another time
while in a fit of rage, he caugh
hold of a mans finger and attempt
ed to break it.

A GOOD LESSON.
A Lawyers Valuable But Somewhat Cost
" Experience.

ly Experience.
1t is one of the minor morals" that
a borrowed book should be carefully
used and returned without being defiled
by dirty hands, or disfgured by marks
and turned-down leaves. This self-evi-
dent, but too often forgotten, rule was
once brought home to a lawyer by a
judge.
The late Judge l., of St. Louis, a
profound lawyer. was particular to &C.
centricity in the care of his splendid
library, An eminent attorney wanted
to use certain textbook in a case on
trial in a county seat not far from ST.
Louis. He remembered that Judge l.
had copy, and photographed for the
loan of it.
The book came promptly by cypress,
and with it n printed slip, the prize Of
the book filled in with pen, reading
about as follows: This book cost me
3. Do not damage it, nor break nor
turn down the corners of leaves, nor
mark same; if you do, keep the book and
remit me the price stated"
The attorney read the slip, left it on
his desk, and carried the book t. the
courtroom where he was engaged in the
trial. During the progress of the trial
the opposing counsel got hold of the
book, and marked and turned down the
corners of several. leaves to which he
desired to refer in his argument.
After the case was through, the attor-
ney who borrowed the book, forgetting
the injunction of Judge LIS slip, re-
turned it to him. In a few days he was
surprised again to receive the volume by
express, together with letter from
Judge l., saying:
You have marked and turned down
several leaves in the book I loaned you
keep it and send me the publishers price
which is s."
The attorney tells his experience as q
lesson to members of the bar who mark
and mar law books.

HEARING THE EVIDENCE.
Town Clerks and Election Counters In
the Superior Court.

Town Clerks and Election Counters In
the Superior Court.
NEW HAVEN, May 12.-The effect of
Judge Halls ruling in the Phelan-
Walsh quo warranto case was seen in
the civil side of the superior court this
morning. The court room was crowded
with the town clerks from all parts of
the state, being marshalled by demo-
cratic politicians and deputy sheriffs.
1t is a long time since the court room
contained such an immense crowd.
In the throng were many of the most
prominent men in the county and a
large number of distinguished lawyers.
Henry Q. Robinson, counsel for Secre-
tary Walsh, was absent, and the burden
of cross-examination of the army of
witnesses, introduced by Candidate
Phelan, fell on William G. Case. All
the witnesses were sworn together to
save time, ex-Judge Harrison explained.
Emerson j. Terrell of Beacon Falls,
town clerk, had the honor of being the
first witness called. He testified to the
correctness of the election returns ex-
hibited by Jadge Harrison, and was fol-
lowed in a similar strain by Charles
Page of North Branford. Town clerks
of Northford, Wallingford, and Yales-
vile we're next sworn and were fol-
lowed by the moderators of the various
wards in Bridgeport. Contrary to ex-
pectation the case is being carried on
with the greatest celebrity.

STREETS AND SEWERS.

Many Petitioners Heard BY the Boards
Etsz Last Night.
The road and Sc yer boards held
special meetings last night for the pur-
pose of giving petitioners a hearing. 49,.
The first matter heard was the putting
in of sewer on Buckingham street.
The demand of the petitioners was
granted later ON in the meeting, the
estimated expense of the sewer to be
$500. The next hearing was for a sewer
on Wood street. All the property
owners heard were in favor of it and
the petition was granted; estimated ex-
pense $500. Property owners on Grove
street were then given a hearing with
regard to sewer on that street.
Although this petition had more op-
posing 1T than in favor of it, still the
board granted the prayer of the petit
TONERS, as it came out that all the Uppo-
nents were sewering into other streets.
A hearing was then granted to the
Bank street people from Third to Fifth
streets on the matter of extending the
Bank street sewer to that point. The
people were about equally divided, as
far as numbers went, so the board de-
termined not to act on the matter until
their next regular meeting. The petit
ton for sewer on John street, from
James to Green, was laid over until the
AUDITORS could lie cited in.
Before the road board John Dumphy
was given a hearing relative to the pro-
posed change of grade on Alder street.
Mr. Dumphy was not in favor of the
change, and would claim damages.
Judge Cowell, H. H. HolloGd and A. 1.
Chatfield were given hearing about
the matter of laying sidewalks on Hill
street. These gentlemen claimed that
they had complied with the require
ments of the board once, and neglect on
the part of the street inspector in not
having paved gutter had caused the
walks and curbs to be all washed out of
place with storm water. Inspector
Wright made a general denial.
The board voted to cite the property
owners on River street on the petition
asking for a change of grade, to be
heard in two weeks. The laying of
walks on the Wall street extension was
postponed for further consideration.
The widening of South Elm street
| from Scovill to Union streets was
recommended to the council.

AWFUL ATROCITIES
Fiendish Work of ths Polish
Rioters at LODI.
HEBREWS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD
Their OOrpses Mutilated by the Drink
Maddened Strikers.

Police POwsrless Against the AIOb-dOrs
Than . Hundred Residents of the Town
Severely Hurt-The Place Narrowly Es-
capped Isoing Burnt Up-COssacks Sent sC

Stop the Slaughter.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The latest
dispatches from Lodz, the manufac-
turing town in Poland where the strike
riots are raging, say that the strikers,
besides lootinG and demolishing valua.
BILE property, set fire to the buildings,
and that only the zeal Of the fire brig
AIDES prevented the whole town from be-
ing burned to the ground.
The united forces of the military and
police were powerless against the mob.
Manufacturers, booKkeepers and Jew
ish residents were felled and stabbed,
some killed outright and hundred bad
1y injured.
During the heat of the riotin2 a Jew
had been beaten and stabbed and flung
to the ground, and was in imminent
danger of having the life crushed out OF
him. A policeman forced his way
through the maddened crowd and at
tempted to save the man from their fury.
He succeeded in lifting the jews bleed
ing form and with his arms about him
tried to shield him, but the mob closed
In and the Jew was beaten to death
with clubs as he chung to the officer.
The rioters were not content to MUIR
der their victims, but mutilated the
corpses in a horrible manner.
The Cossacks and other soldiers VIII Q
were sent to Lodz appeared to take de-
light in the scenes of blood, and took no
trouble to avert the terrible fate of the
Jews. The rioters were maddened with
drink.
The newspapers do not contain a word
in reference to the riots on account oil
the strict press censorship.
A large force of soldiers have been de-
tailed for duty in LODI, and the proprie.
tors of hotels and factories will have to
pay heavily for military protection.
The Cossacks WELD knouts with iron
balls attached, and in suppressing the
disorders are causing bloodshed every
where. Hundreds of the strikers have
been imprisoned in the citadel.
General Gourko, Governor of War
saw, which is rs miles from LODI, wired
orders to the soldiers to take the most
stringent measures, and added: 'tDon't
spare your cartridges"
II is thought that the rioting was due
to Socialistic agitation, and, acting upon
this belief, the authorities have expelled
300 foreign workmen from Lodz. Forty
of the leading rioters, including a mum,
Der of the Socialist agitators, have been
sentenced to long terms in prison.

HER MATRIMONIAL EXPERIENCE
Mrs. G. L. Hinman-EVerett in Court with
n Tale of Woe.

- AAAO "a SOes
NEW York, May 12.-Mrs. George L.
HinmanEverett of Boston, who is now
in Williamsburg, has had a peculiar
matrimonial experience Whom only 16,
she says, a mock marriage ceremony
was performed between her and William
j. Morrison, in Providence, R. l. He
persuaded her the marriage was legal,
and they lived together six months.
Then she became engaged to Mr..
Everett, and when she applied for di-
vorce in order to marry him she was in
formed that none was necessary, as the
first marriage was not legal. Everett
secured the annulment of their mar
riage, which was a civil one, in 1887, on
the ground that his wife had husband
living when it was performed, but told
her that he intended to have the cere-
mony reperformed by a clergyman.
They continued to live together until
recently, when, Mrs. Everett says, her
husband deserted her and went tc
Europe, and she now seeks to have the
annulment set aside.
