sam Pierce's statement.

To the Daily LIGHT: In your paper of
the Dist inst you have an article alluding
to myself headed AN Attempted Muir.
der.--Sam Pierce in Jail on Account Of
His Wife's Wrath The aforesaid ar
ticle is inacem ate and calculated to do me
considerable harm and relying upon
your sense of justice hope you will Pub
liSh this statement so as to put me right
before the public.
In the course of your article you say
that all of the people residing in the
house are claSSed among those Of Ques-
tionable character. Now, Mr.. Editor. |
have not lived in your city many months,
am hard working man and during the
time | have been here ! have had sick
ness in my family eliminating in the
death of my little boy only few days
ago. neither use tobacco nor drink
whiSkey and | think it is to say the least
unjust for your reporter 10 class me or
my family with that questionable class,
simply because poverty, sickness and dis
treSS have compelled me to live there.
The real facts of the case are these:
The house where live, | subrented from
Mr. Gaensler but owing to the sickness
of two of my children and the death of
one of them and the large expense
entailed upon me there by. 4 was not able
10 pay him the rent. On Thursday night
while going home with my wife, who is
at present IN a delicate condition, | was
asSailed by MIR. GaenSler with abusive
language of the tlthieSt deScrip-
tion and threats of bodily injury.

sumption, in fact, one of my lungs Is en-
thely gone, so | told Mr.. GaenSler that |
did not want a fight with him. lie de.
manded payment of the rent and told
him that | was unable TO pay, whereupon
he abused me more than ever aud said he
would put my famil y and myself and be-
IOngingS out into the street. Mr. GaenS-
Ter followed me into the house with the
intent of putting his design into cXecu'
ton, although Repeatedly warned him to
keep away, and while | was STOPPING over
the stove to pick up skillet, made
cOwardlY attack upon me. My wife, like
a brave woman, seeing what he was ABOUT
to do, and DESTROYS of saving me from in
Jury. rushed at him and struck him on
the head, knocking him inSenSibe and
making large wound. The police were
teleDhOned for and | was arrested and
confined in the city Jail without being
allowed to get bail, which | could easily
have done. | was allowed to go free next
morning without any bail, and at the
preliminary examination before the JUS
tCe of the peace | was discharged, the
Judge considering that | was blameieSS in
the matter. Mr.. Gaensler. as you are
doubtless aware is a gentleman who was
Dardoned by the governor about SIX
months ago. He was at the time serving
ont a sentence of several years for assault
with intent TO kill. for which he was con-
vIctcd in this city. This is the cuimina-
ton of a long train Of abuse and Ill usage
by this man. and knowing his character
and the many threats he had made against
my life, my wife was perfectly justified IN
defending me from what she had good
cause to believe was an attempt TO muir

 Dennis Hayden went to his home Sunday night, where his mother was dying and his wife and children in need of lifes necessaries. He stole $1O, all that his mother possessed.

 The case of blackmail charged against William R. Kelly, came up today in le police court, Attorneys Baldwin and Cole, who appeared for Kelley entered a general demurrer to the complaint on the ground that the allegations were not specific. The arguments on the demur- Ter occupied all the morning, Attornies Burpee and Bronson assisting Attorney Kellogg in the prosecution. Any num- Der of cases, statutes and laws were quoted on both sides, the arguments sometimes becoming quite personal. Judge Bradstreet decided to reserve his decision until Saturday so that he might study up the legal points in the case. A short tilt was then held between the opposing attornies on the matter of having Kelley in court when the case came up. The subject was dropped without any definite understanding,

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

The Recent Attempt te Wreck New
 York and New Haven Trains.
 X Pinkerton detective employed by the Consolidated railroad has ascer- tained that the recent attempt at train wrecking near Fairfield was the work of Italian laborers employed by the road The only explanation given for the dastardly attempt to take the lives of travellers is the way in which laborers are treated by their bosses. The de- tective recommends that the officers of the road investigate any grievances they may have. An investigation is now being made by officials of the Humane society.
 Henry Avery, a well-known farmer of South Windsor, rrpeived severe inju- ries in a peculiar accident yesterday. He was at the lumber yard of c. A. Atkins with his team, when a falling board frightened his horse, causing him to back. MT Avery was caught be- tween the wagon and the mill building and severely crushed, two of his ribs being broken and bad cut being made under his jaw.

 Of "The Pearl of Pekin," which will be presented at the opera house Wednes- day evening, the New Haven News says: ''The Pearl of Pekin'' was pre- sented last evening at the Hyperion with Edwin Chapman Tn the role of the Tyfoo. It must be admitted that his performance was quite as satisfactory as that of Louis Harrison has ever been. The Pearl of the cast was Ida Stembler, who Is piquant and petite and a pleasing and Vlvacious singer. and the Finette was Irene Verona.
