POLICE COURT.

James SANFORD Bound Over to the
Superior Court For Theft.
Mrs Parmale Dornatis was charged
with breach of the peace. She lives
next house to Mrs George Rivet on
Bank street. On Monday, the COM
plant alleged, she struck one of Mrs
Rivet's children several times with a
broom handle. Mrs Dornatis denied
this, but said the Rivet children con-
tinually annoy her and her children
and on the day in question she took the
stick away from the little Rivet girl and
lifted her over the fence into her own
yard. Attorney Brett made his first
appearance this morning and defended
the accused. Judge Bradstreet sus-
pended judgment.
James Sanford, an account of whose
exploit was given in yesterdays DEMO
Graf, was charged with the theft of
$50 from his employer, Orlando Plumb,
and taking the latter's team without
permission. Sanford, although he de-
MED his guilt yesterday, pleaded guilty
this morning and pleaded drunkenness
as an excuse. Plumb testified to the
taking of the money and team and said
the latter was not returned until this
morning, when two men drove the
horse down from Watertown, where
they had found it, hitched to fence.
Probable cause was found and Sanford
was bound over to the next term of the
superior court for theft of the money,
and fined $40 and costs for taking the
team.
Charles Olsen was charged with pass
ing counterfeit money. Monday night,
John Rose, an Italian who keeps a fruit
stand at the corner of West Main and
Willow streets, was approached by a
well dressed stranger who asked for ten
cents worth of apples. He handed Rose
S. bill in payment. The latter gave
him $3.50 change. After the stranger
had gone Rose discovered that it was a
counterfeit SIS bill he had received. He
complained to the police and yesterday
afternoon pointed out Olsen as the
man who had passed the money.
This morning Rose could not tell at
by him and seemed to remember moth
ing with the exception of Olsen, whom
he positively asserted was the right
man. Olsen himself took the stand.
He is neat looking Swede and told a
straightforward story. He said he was
sick on Monday and went to see doc
tor. He was told by the latter to re-
main in doors. He did so until o'clock
when being sexton of the Baptist church,
he was compelled to go down town
to open the church for a meeting. He
remained there until half past nine,
when in company with Miss Olsen he
went down Leavenworth street, crossed
the park and left the lady at the foot of
Prospect street, as he was too sick to
accompany her to her home on Linden
street. He passed the Italians fruit
stand at a quarter to nine. He had only
been in his place twice, once last week
and once yesterday afternoon. Miss
Olsen and half dozen witnesses coro-
k< A1I L. n,nl
straightforwardness. Judge Bradstreet
thought that it must be case of mis-
taken identity and discharged the
prisoner.
i George Pritchard and James Garde,
both charged with drunkenness, were
fined 81 and costs each, this morning.

Grover Cleveland
and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York,
with many other well-meaning women,
formed political club lately and named
It the "Frances Cleveland Influence Club. "
She wrote a letter to Mrs Cleveland In
forming her of this fact, and the letter
was full of patriotic sentiment. Mrs
Cleveland handed the letter over to her
lord and master, aud he answered it, say
ing that he could not approve of the use
of Mrs Cleveland's name for political
work, as the name of wife and mother
is too sacred. We think that MIR Cleve-
land could afford to let these women Ego
as they please They did not ask for his
approval, and he needs all the influence
he can get. Mr. Cleveland ought to re-
member he only represents certain ideas
that are in the public mind, and his per-
sonal likes and dislikes are of minor ims
portanoe. He has often told us that the
functions of government should be CON
sidered sacred. If so, we can tell him
that it will require the refining process of
w roman 3 influence to make 1t sacred. Men
have gone it alone thus far, and there Is
nothing to day much more degrading than
politics; and the corruption fund is grow
ing larger all the time. We think that
Mr.. Cleveland ought to feel honored in
having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses 1t, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of
new 1OFk ueLnOCEhbS eHllSIeu III hAo S"uoo.
They talk about a woman's sphere,
AS though it had limit;
There's not place in earth or heaven,
There is not task to mankind given,
There is not blessing or woe,
There's not a whisper, yes or no,
There's not life, or death, or birth
That has feathers weight of worth,
Without q woman in 1t.

Another Gold Brick Victim.

Dover. N. H, Aug. 8 .-Mr. George
Gage, a wealthy farmer living just out
side of this city was called on Monday
afternoon by two men who represented
themselves as business men from the min
ing regions of the far West and was per-
suaded to buy from them for So, 500 a
"gold brick" which they told him was
worth So 900. He came to town, drew
money and later brought the brick in to
deposit in the Stafford bank, where he
learned that his treasure was worth about
"a, that being the value of thin coating
of gold which concealed the base metal of
which the brick was composed. The
swindlers escaped.

THE ELEcTRocuTIoN OF WOOD.
Death Was MISUNDERSTANDING of the
Crime.

DANNEMoRA, N. Y, Aug. 3.-The first
use of the electric chair in Dannemora
prison yesterday, by which Joseph, better
known as "Cal" Wood, paid the penalty
of his crime, was in all respects a success.
The current was applied at 11:58-
When Wood reached the chair, the
keepers stepped to one side, and without
hesitation the prisoner said:
ST want to thank Warden Thayer tor
his great kindness to me. Also my keep
ers. My time on earth is not long enough
to return my thanks to Judge Whitman
for his noble efforts. He has been nearer
than a brother to me, and hope he will
live long life and died happy in the
Lord"
As he sat down in the chair Wood said
in strange voice: "God remember me.
He repeated this three times while the
straps were being adjusted. His last
words were: "God bless me-" repeated
twice.
The fatal signal was given by Keeper
Welts of Auburn prison.
As the contact came Woods body
Strengthened out rigidly and the hands
turned upward on the arms of the
chair.
Twelve seconds was the duration of the
first contact. The, second contact was
two seconds shorter, and, as it reached
full power, a curl of blue smoke arose
from the murderer's forehead and an odor
of burned rubber filed the room.
This was repeated in the third and
fourth contact, each of which lasted six
seconds. I'd
The condemned mans death was rro-
nounced by the physicians instant and
painless. II
Jos. Wood, was convicted Sept. IL, 1891,
of numbering his father-in-law, LeandeE
Pasco, a farmer of Warren County, on
May 10, 1890.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty, alleg-
ing Temporary insanity.
The successive courts Vadjudged him
guilty, and Gov. Flower refused to inter
fere.
On March Q, previous to the crime,
Wood had secretly married Pasco' 6
daughter. Immediately after the mar
rage they separated, each going home.
Pasco, who was very severe with his
children, was displeased with the marriage
and refused to recognize, Wood.
\ About q month later Wood told q neigh
Dor that Pasco, who was then living with
his housekeeper, Fought to be put out OF
the way, so the children could have his
property"
After Wood and his wife went to live
together they were subjected to some
| petty annoyance, which they charged to
Pasco.
Wood sought to get,a warrant for his
arrest, but, being denied, uttered more
threats.
About three weeks later Pasco was
murdered by two gun-shot wounds. II
was satisfactorily proven that Wood had
lain in ambush for him.
