Lawyer Gum of Milford Calls Lawyer
HeaIey Liar and Refuses to Retract.
HARTFORD, May 31.-The monotony
in the house to-day was broken by a
wrangle between two members, both
lawyers, in which one called the other
a liar and refused to retract.
The debate was over the bill provid.
ing for the definition of cases at law.
The big lawyers were dead set against
the bill, while the smaller ones favored
it. Mr. Gum had just concluded vigor'
GUS speech against the measure when MI
Healey arose and prefaced his remarks
as follows:
81 do not represent a railroad corpora
ton; the gentleman from Milford does.
Il want to tell the gentleman from
Windsor Locks that he is liar" shout
ed Mr. Gum.
The two stood glaring at each othel
for full minute. Gum was livid will
rage while Healey was very pale.
1.-THE words of the gentleman are un
parliamentary, said Mr. Healey.
81 have no apology to make" answer
ed the Milford man and after a few
more sallies the matter was dropped.
The bill was defeated by a vote of Y
to G5.
William Hamersley was confirmed a
associate justice of the supreme court b
a unanimous vote.
In the senate resolution was passe
abating the taxes of the Meriden, Water
bury & Connecticut River road.
The quo warranto bills wer
next taken up and the ms
jority report, adopted by the house
was accepted, with an amendmen
giving the lawyers their fees in full.
The nomination Of Judge Hamersle
was confirmed.

NAUGATUcK. May 31.-There was
another fatal case of spinal meningitis
yesterday, the victim being a daughter
of George Hall, aged six years. Another
child of Mr. Hall is down with the same
disease. The funeral of Miss Martin
took place this morning from st Francis
church. The remains of young Lloyd
were sent away to-day for burial. The
funeral of the late Mrs Matthew Bierne
will take place from st Francis church
tomorrow morning and without doubt
will be very largely attended. Our
death rate this month will be very high.
Yesterday was typical day with us,

About 2 o'clock some twenty-seven of
the G. A. R. men, with a drum corps,
paraded to the different cemeteries and
decorated the graves of their deceased

much decorating in our burial places as

"THE MAN FROM BOSTON,"
John L Sullivan Makes His Little Speech
tn a WRkerhurN Andianca.

John L Sullivan Makes His Little Speech
to a waterbury Audience.
"The man who upheld the honor of
his country for twelve years.. as the
posters put it, was the center OF attrac-
ton at the opera house last night. The
audience numbered probably seven hun
bred and when Sullivan made his ap-
pearance toward the close of the first
act he was greeted with a burst of ap-
plause. With his hands in the pockets
of Lis buttoned sack coat and his fierce
looking eyes wandering nervously from
one side to the other Sullivan strobe
toward the footlights and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
one and all for this hearty applause and
kindly ovation, and 1 hope I shall de-
serve it in the future as I have in the
past"
Then the play went on. "The Man
From Boston" has no plot worth men,
tioning and is devoid Of literary merit,
and if SullIvan's three round bout with
Dan Dryer had been given in the first
act the hall would have been deserted
long before the end was reached.
Sullivan suffered from a cold and ner-
vously clawed at his throat every few
minutes for relief. His bout with
Dryer was interesting and was of the
hammer and tongs order. The ex-
champion delivered some n0aVy DIOWS,
but was clearly out of condition and
pulled like steam engine before finish
ing his work. He is big and fat, with
small limbs. He is quite gray and
shows his age. AS an actor he is not a
bowling success, but certainly does
as we'll if not better than most people
supposed he could.
Last nights entertainment marked
the close of Sullivan's season. He will
go on the road with his company again
on September IA, opening at Boston.
After a few weeks at his home in
Boston, John l.. intends to put in the
remainder of the summer at Lakewood,
N. j., where, he says, he owns a small
farm and a $1,000 cottage. After
another season on the road, the ex.
champion says he will settle down and
go to raising horses for the turf.
He still laments his defeat by Corbett,
and declared it was due to his own
drinking practices. "I don't drink be.
cause like it," he said to q reporter,
sits just a case OF a man having toe
many friends"
"Why, see here, young fellow. A
real bright man is born only once in
fifty years, but distilleries grow ur
every hour. Now how is q man going
to buck up against such game"
| Sullivan declared that when he gets
into the fancy horse breeding business
he will quit drinking and excuses OF
every kind, and devote his sole atten.

is more remarkable on account of the
increased pitching distance.

CHAPTER V.

It was two hours later when Pat
started out again, and this time he went
directly down to the fruitshop of Pietro
Socola, where a most unexpected and
festive scene greeted him.
The little old man, surrounded by
dozen or more of his countrymen (and
others were coming and going), was
opening bottles of wine and drinking
freely.
As Pat entered Socola bowed delight
edly, and filing glass presented it to
him.
Everybody was laughing and drink
ing, and the host, although it was yet
scarce 10 o'clockin the morning, showed
the effect of many glasses in his flushed
face and hilarious spirits.
Not understanding in the least, but
unable to resist so social spirit, Pat, at
the signal, raised the glass to his lips. 1t
was only when some one pronounced tie
name ''Pietro Socola JUNO" that the sit
uation flashed upon his comprehension.
Unto the house of Socola son had
been born.
The last time Pat had met the old
man, a year ago, on the night of his we'd
ding, he had grasped his hand in con-
graduation, and he did SO again now.
"Accept me congratulations, Misther
Socola," he exclaimed, and, with a
twinkle in his eye, raising his glass
again: Ulcers luck to the junior part
ner in the future firm of SocoIa an Son.
May he niver cross SIS father an niver
boss is mother an be shinin example
to all is yunger brothers an sistersP'
Hearty laughter greeted this toast, and
the old man insisted on refilling the
glasses all round, saying in italian to
the men as he did so: ''He has come
great distance to wish me joy. Keep
his glass full"
Socola was not an habitual drinker,
and his voice was already growing I'M
steady.
While they stood here the one eyed
man whom Pat had recognized in the
shadow the night before joined the group.
He WINGED visibly, Pat thought, on per-
ceiving him in this crowd, and while he
and Socola touched glasses Pat with
drew, and joining some of the men
whom he knew walked out upon the
levee.
When he returned, an hour later, he
glanced into Socola's shop. The hither-
to childless old man. translated by his
tardy honors into state of gleeful ire
sponsibiIity, had by this time gotten
right royalty drunk, and now some
friends were tying to induce him to go
home
Pat laughed to himself as he saw him
stagger up to the carriage door. ssArrah,

Tor a devil, and the air Of he'll <ee1s good
to him. All around him are ghosts
blowing upon him, and he likes their
breath and laughs because he is solid
fire and they are like a roaring wind
around him. If they would go and leave
him to cool, he would go all to gray ashes
and fall to pieces. He would go crazy
and kill himself. Anyhow I am sorry
for this business"
He rose, and as he started home Curl
osity led him somewhat out of his way to
pass the Di Carlo shop He walked on
the other side Of the street. He looked
over.
Pat stood among the children on the
banquette throwing little one into the
air and catching her, while the others
stood waiting and begging.
''Tal1e me, Mr.. Pat''
''Teresa had four turns''
''Little Pat always gets the most"
It was pretty picture.
''Well, I'm sorry" the man repeated
to himself as he passed on. 'tIn the name
of God, why can't men keep their tongues?
But anyhow am sorry

Sicilian as he walked home. Indeed Pats
offense seemed to him more than half a
virtue, for was it not provoked by his
stanch championship of the young Ital-
ian girl, CarlottaI
If only Socola could be made to see it
in this light!
Before reporting the case even this
man of the sinister face, who had never
before troubled himself with personal
concern for his victims, summoned his
best English and wrote a word of warn
ing to the Irishman.
It ran about like this:
Mr.. Rooney at Carlo di Carlo-This warn you
to run for your life. Leaf New Orleans rite
away. 1t is not in power off man to safe you,
neither God If you RENAME before the eye of
Malta. One mans spite it is which marc you
to die. If you RENAME q nifc go drought
your heart. 1t is true. l swear before God.
When he passed through the shop early
Monday morning on his way home, Pat
found this note, with another, slipped in
beneath the edge of the front door.
The other was shorter; but, as if to
add weight and eolemnity to its almost
affectionate warning, across the top of
the sheet were written the words ''Je-
sus, Mary, Joseph
Both notes were unsigned. Pat read
them hastily, and chuckling as he slipped
them into his pocket started out.
He had proceeded but few steps,
however, when he suddenly hesitated,
took off his hat, scratched his head for
moment, and turning went back into the
house.
Five minutes reflection had suficed
to decide him as to what he should do.
