AT TIE STATE PRISON,
Cost of the Investisati0n-New Rules
Regarding Future Hangings at the
Prtsou

cost of the MISUNDERSTANDING Rules
Regarding Future Hangings at the
Prison.
HARTFORD, Aug. 1.-"Jabe" Woodbridge
took charge of the state prison to-day.
Senator joiner, chairman of the state
prison investigating committee, drew S.
600 for necessary expenses. He said last
evening that possibly 5000 might be re-
turned to the state, leaving $4,000 as the
actual expenses of the committee. This
includes 81, 400 for the stenographer, sher-
IFS fees, travel and all the expenses of tt Q
investigation. General Haven will receive
the pay of his rank, brigadier-general,o over
81. 800 for the 107 days duty he has per-
formed. Acting Physician Thompson gets
81, 06O for 106 days duty at 1910 per day
the pay fixed by the governor under the
statute-and Major Howard A. Giddinps
| received $3.50 as his pay for duty at the
| prison. Chaplain Kelsey was entitled to
draw $246 60 for 45 days duty at 50. 4S PIT r
day under the military law, and small al
lowarces to Assistant Adjutant General
Cole and Medical Director Almy of Gen.
| eral Ravens staff, will bring the total cost
| of the investigation to about $3.50. To
this amount might be added Joseph L.
Barbour's bill, $500, for legal advice to
General Chamberlain.
General Chamberlain left Wethersfisld
for his home at Barre, Mass, on Thursday
The old board of directors approved his
bill of 5000 for four years rent of piano
or organ In the prison, which he owned,
and also Joseph L. Barbour's bill of $500
for legal services to the warden, both of
which amounts were paid out of the prison
fund.
There are now 800 prisoners at Wethers-
field, and several will be discharged this
month. A singular practice prevails of
taking prisoners note for the cost of the
trial, when hs is discharged. There is
now bsrrelful of those promises to pay
at the prison, and of course they are of no
value. Five prisoners discharged last
month gave notes for s91. 01, $50, $75, s35
and $lO6 81 respectively. 1t Is not ex-
pected that they will voluntarily return to
take up the promises to pay.
After October 1, 1898, any person In the
state sentenced to be executed must be
hanged at the state prison by the warden
OF deputy warden, who will receive a fee
OF 500 therefor. The death penalty Ia to
be inflicted before sunrise of the day des-
ignated by the judge, within six months
and not nearer than one month from the
day of the sentence. The gallows is to be
erected within an enclosure on the prison
grounds, for which the general asse mbly
appropriated $4,000. The directors will
probably take some steps to day toward
the construction of suitable building, al
though 1t may not be needed for some
time, as the law does not apply to any upon
whom the death penalty is imposed preyi-
GUS to October l, 1898.

Nervous Dyspepsia.

Senator James F. Pierce of New York writes
For the past two years have suffered
very much from an aggravated form OF
nervous dyspepsia. I~hsve resortsd to
various remedial agents, deriving but little
benefit. A few months since a friend of
mine suggested the trial of Allcock's Por-
GUS Plasters, Following the suggestion, 1
have been usins the same with the happiest
effects. To those similarly afflicted let me
suggest the manner of their use. I place
one over my stomach, one over the hepatic
region, and oneon my back. The effect is
excellent. From the day I commenced
their use I have been slowly but surely
and am quite confident that by
continuing shall again be restored to my
health"

Wilson and were married, They re-
turned to New Jersey, agreeing to
keep the marriage secret for the
present. The young lady, however, wrote
to her mother and the latter has just re-
ceiyed tie news of the elopement. Young

lege he was In the habit of writing several
etters In poetry to Miss Osmun each week. /
The elopement is the greatest surprise that

the Oath of July. He was member of the
Thirteenth regiment, Company K, Con.
necticut volunteers. He was q faithful
and loyal soldier. He was member OF
Admiral Foote post. He was devout
member of Trinity N. e. church. Ever
true to the calls of conscience he was
regarded by his many friends as the soul Of
honor. He was . devoted husband and
kind and loving father, man of genial
temper, urbane manners and generous and

tion-she dawn of an eternal and an un-
clouded day-and we feel that he is num-
bered with the saints in glory everlasting;
gone where prayers have changed to praise
and faith to vision; gone where fadeless
flowers wave their blossoms beneath cloud
less sky.
The funeral services were attended by
