HEApsroNes FOR VETERANS.
Nearly 400 Erected y the State Durin
 the Past Eight Years.

Nearly 1,4OO Erected y the State During the Past Eight Year-.
 During the past eight years not far from fourteen hundred headstoneS have been erected under orders from the state in memory of veterans of the war, whose families or friends could not pay the expense of the stones From forty to fifty headstones will be arranged for with the department by the Grand Army posts in the state as soon as the spring begins, the work to be completed before Memorial day. Most of the work, in fact, has regularly come in April and May, the old soldiers being anxious that on Decoration day none of the graves of comrades sball be without a head stone. There is bill now before the general assembly requiring the erection of headstones in memory of soldiers of the war who are buried in unknown graves in the south. These stones will be erected in the town or towns from
 which they enlisted. the cemetery being designated by the proper authorities. It is not known at present how many of these unknown graves there are of the Connecticut volunteers who served in the war. No doubt there is consider able number of them. Every year there is set apart m the larger burial grounds of the state an enclosure where the tri- butes are left to the unknown dead, The practice has proved to be one of pathetic interest. Probably the head stones that are contemplated by the Legislature will be erected in these en- closures, which have become SO tenderly associated in the hearts and thoughts of the old soldiers. The Grand Army posts will take the initiative step in as certaining the number of volunteers l from the state who rest in. unknown southern graves.

Decision Adverse to Captain Burpss in
 the Grant Court Martial Case.
 A decision in the celebrated court martial case between Captain c. w. Burpee of Bridgeport, formerly city editor of the American, and Musician Harry Grant, was rendered yesterday in favor of the latter. The trial was the result of an angry discussion at a recent hall of Go K. Captain Burpee ordered Grant. who was in the band room of the armory, under arrest, for alleged boiStPrOus conduct. Grant disputed the captains authority to have him arrested
 at such a time, for the reason that the gathering was social, not & military one. A court m artIal was ordered inn mediatelv after and the case was heard | in military court. Colonel J. c Grove l of Norwalk was judge, and he handed down his d 'ciSiOn yesterday. It was entirely in favor of Grant.

DR. WALKERS THEORY
Says The Real AImy is
Still at Large.
TALKS TO AN ASSEMBlAGE
She Tries to Buttonhole the Governor
But He Escapes.

CONCORD, N. H., May lZ-Dr Mary
Walker came to town yesterday, but she
was too late to save Almy, and all she
could do was to tell Governor Smith that
she had come as she had pledged herself.
She appeared in the Main street Of the
city In the middle of the afternoon dressed
ina
Full Suit OF Masculine Apparel.
She had on tall hat, a double breasted
front coat, pantaloons of the latest fashion
able cut and a standing pointed collar.
Over the SUIT she wore cape overcoat as
intensely masculine as any other detail Of
her dress. She was escorted from the depot
to the hotel by score or more OF men and
boys, who seemed to be greatly struck with
her attire and spectacles.
Immediately after her arrival she went
To the capitol TO See the governor in the
interest Of Almy, but the executive and the
members of his council by a series Of art-
full lodges succeeded In escaping her impor-
tuuities.
The doctor was not In the least discour-
aged, however, in her unsuccessful effort
to reach the gubernatorial ears, and imme-
diately turned Doric hall into an audience
room, and for an hour or more entertained
mixed assemblage with Ia
Recital Of Her Theories
concerning the identity Of the murderer
hanged yesterday.
Later she talked for about the same
length of time in the office of the Eagle
hotel to an equally promiscuous but not
less interested audience. The story That
DIR. Walker has to tell is interesting and
plausible. She claims that the man
hanged yesterday is not Frank @. Almy.
The real Frank C. Almy, she says, escaped
from Hanover by swimming the Connecti-
cut river, and crossing the country by re-
lays of stolen horses reached his home in
Oswego, n. Y.
Here, she declares, he spent sevcyal
weeks in the capacity of house servant
During his sojourn she discovered indu-
bitable evidence that he was
The Slayer Of Christie Warden.
This evidence consisted of letters, a chain
of circumstances connected with his life
and the fact that he was suffering from
varicose veins ON his legs, which, she says,
the Hanover murderer was stated by the
Warden family to have been greatly
troubled with while working on their
farm, but which the George Abbott who
paid the penalty for the Hanover murder
did not have

BILL NOT TAKEN UP.
License Commissioners
Act Still Sleeps.
FACTORY INSPECTORS BILL.
A''O'no" or the Railroads Given
Quite a Scare Today.

The Senate met this morning q, =, On
O'CLOCK Asuorum was present. There
was good deal of hobnobbing bet
the weh known lobbyists and the Repub-
Hear leaders in the Senate upon the LIZ
cense Commissioners act.
eFor some unexpected reason the bill was
not called up at the time assigned, II 80
O'Clock, and had not received he least at
tention up to O'Clock.
lhere was not quorum OF Republicans
present but whether that had any bearing
on the question or not is somewhat prob
lematical.
IL may be called up later in the dav.
though the chances are against it as it was
'reely rumored In the lobby that IL
would not be called up today.
Senator Freeman reported back the
Judiciary act with recommendation Of
concurrence. Ii was made a special order
for tomorrow morning at II 80 o'clock.
An act constituting the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company
corporation in this State was passed
without any opposition In concurrence.
subsequently Senator Wilbour, who
was out OF the chamber when the bill was
passed, moved a reconsideration.
The railroad lawyers in the lobby took
alarm at once and the way they worked
themselves in around the Senators to
head Off such action was wonderful.
One attorney, who was supposed to rep
resent the New York and New England,
was the most active, which led Senator
Wnbour to remark that the opinion was
prevalent that the New England road was
already bargained for by the New York,
New Hayen and Hartford road.
The motion to reconsider was finally
laid upon the table.
After the passage of two more acts in
relation to railroads, making them less
liable for any killing done by their trains
and providing numerous penalties for
walking upon their roadbeds, ETC., the
Factory Inspectors bill was reported back
by Senator Baker.
Senator Lapham moved to have IL
printed and made a special order for next
Tuesday,
This called out spirited discussion and
finally, on motion OF Senator Comstock,
1t was made special order for tomorrow
at IL o'clock.
In the House OF Representatives the
first few minutes were spent in getting
through some routine business and then
Mr. Greene pf Woonsocket, who reported
the act, called for the S-hour bill which
was the special order foI today.
AS usual, Mr.. Wilson of East Proyi-
dence showed himself to be the enemy of
the workingman for he promptly moved
Its indefinite postponement.
The action was met In a sturdy fashion
by the Democrats and few Republicans
who represent constituencies where the
labor vote predominates.
After nearly two hours were consumed
In debate Mr.. Wilson finally withdrew his
motion and the bill was discussed.
