MARRIAGE OF CHILDREN.
Timely Remarks on the Subject by
 NOrwalk Newspaper.

Timely Remarks on the Subject by a Norwalk Newspaper.
 The Norwalk Hour contains the follow. ing, which is timely reading at present: There are two men concerned in the Ayres-McPh marriage who should be interviewed by g committee of indignant citizens. One is the groom, who induced this fourteen=year-old school girl to leave home, and the other is the Lewisboro min ister who performed the ceremony. In Connecticut an attempt is made to prevent marriages of this kind. Where either of the parties is 8 minor the consent of parents or guardians must be obtained before the town clerk will issue license, and clergymen-are forbidden by law to per form the ceremony unless the parties have first procured license. In New cense is required. The couple go be- fore minister, tell him they want to be married, and in nine cases out of ten the ceremony is performed without go much as question regarding the age of parties, when it is evident that both are minors All the clergyman seems to want Is the fee. Boys in their teens and girls in short dresses, ill-matched couples like this Agres and the girl who is now his wife, hnd1n8 It impossible 70 get married in Connecticut, skip across the line into New York state where they find no diff culty in having the ceremony performed, providing they have dollar or two with which to pay the minister.
 Many Connecticut home would bs hap pier to day if some New York state clergy man had used little common sense and refused to perform the marriage ceremony at the request of couples who were either too young to assume the duties and respon- abilities of matrimony or where the groom was a bearded man and the bride girl in short dresses.
 Some of these days an outraged Con- necticut father will visit the New York this kind and 1t will cost the minister more for medicines and nurses than he re- ceives for performing dozen marriages And it would serve him right.

STREET CAR LINE CHANGES.

Two Communications on the Subject.
 An observer writes to the COURIER: Cannot something be done by which the laying of a spur car track on Brewery street can be avoided, and yet accommo- date the public and the Starin steamboat alinsi Brewery street is now altogether too narrow. Why not have the line make a circuit az is done by street car lines in many other cities, and instead of double tracking Chapel street., lay return track on Wooster street and thereby accommodate Wooster street people, who would be glad of such line. Then the spur track could be laid on Brown street. which would be just as convenient for the steamboat peo- ple." ..
 Another view of the case is taken in another communication received on the same subject, which takes satisfaotion in the idea that Chapel street Is at last likely to be double tracked and that Wooster street Is to be left for 8 freighting street as 1t is now, the street being mostly used by heavy trucking to the steamhoats,

Condition of the Connecticut School
 RnVa.

~A for Boys.
 MER1DEN, July Superintendent George E. Howe of the Connecticut School for Boys, in his annual report, says:
 The institution has been particularly for
 tunate this year in securing an advance of fifty cents 8 week for the maintenance of each boy. This Is as 1t should be. With this increase we will bs able to take better
 care of the boys, and can in all probability provide for necessary repairs to the insti- tuition in future, without being compelled
 to call upon the general assembly for special appropriations for this purpose.
 The legislature has been liberal with us, and the institution is under great obliga- tions to Senator Seth J. Hall of our board of trustees for his untiring efforts in secur- ing our appropriations and in looking care fully after all the interests of the school with the legislature.
 An appropriation of $12,0OO was also granted by the legislature for the purchase of the school property, known ss the 'tRail- road school" being located partly in front of the institution grounds. The approach to the institution will be rendered far more attractive by the addition of these grounds after being properly graded and planted with ornamental trees and shrubs. In our opinion it will be we'll to sell the two school houses now occupying the lot to the highest bidder, as the location is such as to render it impossible to move them to any other eligible ground owned by the state, unless they are first taken down, and in doing this, the economy would be ques- tionable.
 Some advance has been made towards trade teaching industries, but much more should be done. If these two school houses are sold, the ayails might be sp- piled towards the commencement of shop building that would meet the future wants of the school for shop purposes. S

INrLrorED TERRIBLE WOUNDS
A Shocking Stabbing AGray at Col
 lfnsvflle.

CoLLINsvILLE, July 16.-A Swede named Swenson, about thirty-fve years of age
 was seriously and probably fatally stabbed near a saloon just across the river in Bur. lington shortly before Il o'clock last nigh, by a Polander named Ponski. The trou, ble was the outcome of the prej udices that have existed between the Swedes and Poles here for some time and which have threatened serious results on several occa- sions. Both of the men had been in Lsn- dry's saloon during the evening and had been drinking quite freely. Just after leaving the place they met and became in- volved in 6 discussion which led to . quar- rel. The Pole drew a long knife and plunged it into Swenson's body dozen times, inficting terrible wounds about the abdomen. The Swede fought his ssssii- ant hard and punished him severely, but WAS overcome by loss of blood and fell in the roadway. He was taken to the house of friend near by and Dr. Barnes of this place was called. Upon examining the wounds the doctor found that they were very dangerous and stated that 1t was very doubtful if the man lived. The knife had penetrated to depth of several inches in half edo zsn places and the wounded man was very weak. Meanwhile Ponsh fled, making for the woods. Constable Hobine was notified and with several otaess set

 NEW YoRK, July I5.-The existence Of small speculative interest on the long side Of the market was an unfAvorAble fac to. to-day, and explained the days Eet losses for bosrd room speculation on a margin in that dI. rection is very likely al present 10 mean quick liquidation. The failure Of an important iron producing company in the Northwest was used with much effect, was the development Of To- cal trouble in Kansas City finances. London was used again for open bear manipulation, nearly all prices that market selling below our oSn. It can hardly be doubted that the total absence of support in London Is largely due 10 the crazy antics of the silver statesmen in our wcst, and inasmuch as local bear operators and their foreign agents are making the utmost use ot all such episodes, 1t will te wise for New York bank CTS with responsible connections in London 10 advise their correspondents of the truth. The Colorado horse play st which Americans smile. Englishmen, after their fashion, are apt 10 wit ness with very grave uneasiness. As A whole. the market experienced 6 moderate reaction, | natural enough, perhaps, when one conEiders the heavy handicap under which prices struggle. The borrowing demand for stocks. meantime. is very active; showing how heavily the specu lators for the decline are still involved
 One thing was pretty evident from to-dRy's bank statement; that institution money with drawn A fortnight since from bank deposits has not yet been returned. The extraordinary con ditions In the statements publicly given out by officers of savings banks make this 6 somewhat delicate matter for discussion, but enough Of these gentlemen have discussed the situation frankly to give fair confirmation to the belief that such - pithdraEaIs hsd been very large. There Is no sign of their redepost In the state ment of to-day. What this statement reflects Is material shrinkage in both loan and deposit &C., counts the aggregates which, after deductinE from the loan account the Clearinghouse cerifi- cate cancellations, are pretty much the same. No doubt the breaking down of margins in Tues days and Wednesdays markets explains some of .the loan contractions; at any rate k must bo evident that the changes are chiefly local. The gain in specie has an obvious explanation; the
 loss in legal tenders Is less plainly to bs accounted for. Conservative estimates had reckoned at least a million net received on shipment from in terior points; 1t is not easy, therefore to explain the net currency loss of .ss7s, coo. Fortunately, the reserve itself shows a material gain, of which the moral effect on ths money market may be considerable.

Of An InOfenstve Citizen On Oak

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I would like to call the attention of the police to the way in which inoffensive citizens are treated while passing through Oak street. Last evening while passing through Oak street, between Factory and Broad streets, one of large crowd of Rus sian Jews Intentionally pushed against me. In doing so he struck his shoulder heavily against my chest, leaving me bIeathless for moment. I said to him "I wish you would please look where you are going" Another of the crowd stand ing near by called me vile name, and several of them began to draw around me. Thinking discretion the better part oi valor, turned without saying any more and walked away. This is only one of many like occurrences.

CONSIGNEES SATISFIED. No Dissatisfaction With the New Car
 Regulation.


 The new regulations issued by the rail roads of the state through the Connecticut car service requiring all cars to be unload ed after ninety-si1 hours or subject to a demurrsge charge of $1 per day thereafter went into effect Saturday night at mid night. --- 5..-,se---.--s'-1,s,.'' s-'-l
 No trouble Is anticipated, as the measure is both just and beneficial alike to the con- signee and railroad. Various prominent shippers interviewed on the subject gay that on the whole they thought 1t was a good thing. They believed the railroad had been Imposed upon. They had known of consignees who held cars withut unload ing for two months at time. They be- Heved also that the rule will have the effect to compel the railroad to place the cars where they can be convenient of access. Heretofore certain privileges had been al- lowed consignees in regard to permitting them to delay the unloading of cars. There might bs some objection to having these privileges curtailed, but in no sense could such objections be considered fair.
