MOONSHINERS CAPTURED

United states Officers Raid an Illicit still
on West Main street and Arrest Thrs"
Men.
United States officers A. H. Brooks and
John Sinsel of New York came to town
last night and broke up an illicit distllc.y
at SIP West Main street, beyond the New
England railroad track Yesterday
Deputy Collector Warner of this city was
notified to be on hand at the 6:59 train
last night. This was the first lntimation
MI Warner had of Il visit from the United
States officers
When the party arrived here they in
formed Mr. Warner of the purpose of their
visit. On reaching the house there was no
one at home, but the officers entered
through the cellar and found things just
as they had expected. The officers re-
mainel in the house until 10 o'clock, when
two men entered through the front door.
The officers rushed for them Mt once. Mr.
Brooks overp )wered one of the men after
a tussle in the hall and the other was
secured by Deputy Warren and Officer
Sinsel and placed under arrest. The men
gave their name as Sam Popkin and CT.
lyman. They were locked up. Later
Simon Arkowitsch of 76 Canal
street was taken out of the bed
and landed in cell under suspicion of
being an accomplice in the business.
The men are Russian Jews.
This afternoon Henry Doerr and
Thomas II. Hayes were appointed
appraisers on the stock and in company
with United States Gauger j. r. DAILY of
Hartford, Deputy Warner, Real Estate
Agent L. r. Carter and representative of
the DEMOCRAT proceeded to the scene of
the illicit distillery. Everything in the
house was inventoried, as follows: Two
galvanized iron stills, S25; 120 gallons of
syrup. S24; Is pounds of sugar, so cents;
stove, SO cents; bed, $3.50; table, 80
cents; % gallons of spirits, $50. The
house and lot also will be confscated by
the government, unless the owner can
prove that the business was conducted
without his knowledge. The house is
valued at 81, 400 and belongs to the Lang
estate.
Warrants were issued for the men this
morning by United States Attorney Nc
Leane of Hartford, returnable before c. c.
Marvin, clerk of the United States court
The marshal at Hartford was out of town,
and the authorities telegraphed for United
States Marshal from Bridgeport, who is ex-
pected here this Afternoon.
How the authorities discovered that such
business was being carried on here was
told to-day by one who seems to under
stand something about the matter. Dealers
in the apparatus necessary for carrying on
the business must report the names
of parties to whom they sell
and the authorities Immediately take the
matter in hand and find out what use
these things have been put to.
The "moonshiners' rented the house
where they were captured less than a
month ago

RElNSCH HAD TWO WIVES.
He Was Married to the Second, a Water


He Was Married to the Second, a Water
bury Girl, at Long Island City.
1t is understood that there will be n
lively contest over the estate of the late
Charles Reinsch. 1t is said that the de
ceased was married several years ago and
has a wife and child in Newark, n. j. and
that she intends to make application for
the residue of his estate after the pay
ment of his funeral expenses. 1t is also
well known that the deceased had wife IN
this CITY and that they had lived together
at the residence of Mrs Murphy on South
Willow street up to the time of his death
Some people ridicule the idea of Charles
Reinsch being married to another woman
and say that if there were any truth in the
statement she would have come to Wa err
bury long ago and brought action against
him for bigamy and that she would I'M
doubtedly have called to see him during hlS
illness and been present at the funeral
Still there are good reasons to believe that
the man had another wife. When his
father visited him the day before he died he
asked Mrs Murphy who the young woman
was who was waiting upon his son. On
being informed that she was his wife he eX-
pressed great sur prise ami said bis son was
married several years ago. He told the
woman not to tell the young girl anything
about IL.
Charles Reinsch was married in July,
1892, at Long Island City. by the Rev ii.
Schofeld, Lutheran minister, to Miss
Katie Cavanaugh, of this town. The Dem
oCRAT printed an announcement of the
marriage Mrs Reinsch has her marriage
certificate and if it does not amount to
anything else it will prove that she did not
know that her husband had another wife
at the time. But if the other woman can
prove that she was married to the deceased
prior to the time mentioned on the certiti-
cate held by the woman in this city and
never was divorced, then the dead man 5
estate belongs to the first wife and the
second woman can claim nothing hey ond
that which might be given to a servant girl
or other domestic. 1t is said the couple
left here on an excursion to Coney Island
and there left the crowd and slipped over
to Long Island City and were married.

Not very long ago, we are in
formed, some person broke into
the Stock Store at Sardis. The
cash drawer contained 1915 but
the thief took only $500 of it. 1t
was supposed to have been some
poor fellow who needed that
amount to buy his marriage IL
cense.-Lexington Progress.

Rev. George Stuart, the Prohibi-

of resuscitation. AS Tennessee
is already a Prohibition state,
practically, there seems to be no
reason for the revival of the par

cities is about the only thing left
to be done.-Appeal.A valanche.

Woman Suffrage.

John S. Connolly, United States
Consul at Auckland, has made q
report to the State Department on
woman suffrage in New Zealand.
The Consul says of the first cleo
ton at which women voted; 81
went around all day from one vot-
ing precinct to another and / am
pleased to record the fact that l
was agreeably surprised to notice
the cool and deliberate manner in
which they discharged their func-
tons as enfranchised citizens.
Throughout the day the utmost
good order prevailed. Not a
drunken man was seen during vot'
ing hours. Women we're as actively
engaged in canvassing as were the
men, and they proved themselves
formidable antagonists to many o.
the old.time electioneering agents
Some of the ward politicians look
ed with contempt on the efforts O
the ladies, but next morning wo
mans power was shown to mark
ed degree. Women voted frs
for men of the highest moral
social and political integrity, man,
Of whom were not always con
spicuous for ability, experience o
education. Women have ais
shown at the ballot box that the,
are capable of resenting an injur,
and of Furnishing an enemy. Man,
of those who talked loudest an,
longest in Parliament against tn
extension of the franchise wer
quietly permitted on election da
to retire indefinitely from politica
life. Altogether the results Q
wOmen's first vote in politics {
this country appears to have give
satisfaction, with the very naturf
exception of few disappointe
politicians for whom she did nc
vote, and possibly the brewer

HARD TIMES.

One of our subscribers, in writ
ing to us to stop his paper, gives
as all excuse that times are hard
and though he does not know how
he can get along without the
COURIER, incidentally asked us
to tell him when the times would
get better.
Life is practically what we make
It, and hard times are brought into
each family by idleness, misman-
agement or by indulging in one
or more of the vices entailing ex-
travagance, or misfortune.
Be Industrious and economical,
take care of your good health and
avoid calamities and loss of the
fruits of your labor by watching
rour business closely, and we
rusrantee that hard times will flee
from your door like cruel winter
flee before the warm south wind.

hut we take it for granted that
his is not an exceptional case and
that all he needs is TO believe that
times are not hard, act accordingly
and all will be well.
