Members of this Old Time Pedestrian Club
Asked to Get Together.
To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
Some time ago there existed in this city
a pedestrian club, the members of which
enjoyed many a pleasant ramble together
on Sunday afternoons and other idle days.
1t numbered among its members some OF
our most popular city officials, journalists,
our factories, and on many of their out
ings, turned out as many as 25 or 80
members.
When the New England railroad was be-
ing constructed westward, trip along
the unfinished road bed ,as far as Towantic,
was considered a nice walk, although some
might be little tired at the end of the
homeward stretch.
AS time progressed, however, members
dropped out from various causes. Old age
began to set his seal on the brow of some,
and their once elastic step was gone.
Others climbed the ladder of fame and
could not see at the bottom the friends of
bygone days. Other still, got married and
never were heard from afterwards. More
grew fat and lazy, and at the present time
only two are left, one of the founders, and
one who joined later on, but these two
still enjoy their rambles and try to keep up
the old time reputation of the club.
Now if on Sunday, May 81, about 80
D. M, all of the old time members of the
club that are able to come out will meet
the two who now comprise it, and arrange
for nice short tramp, everything will be
done for their comfort. Canes and
crutches will be provided and an ambu-
lance will be in attendance in case any
should fall by the wayside; neither shall
the wants of the inner man be neglected.
The place of meeting might be in the
vicinity of the green.

FOR BREACH OF PEACE.

John O'Isrien Arrested For Trying to
Drag His Sister From ths Salvation
Army Ranks.
John O'Brien, aged 16, was arrested this
afternoon by Detective Egan charged with
breach of the peace and interfering with a
parade of the Salvation Army last night
The boy was seen at the station by a re-
porter and told the following story: His
father and mother are dead. He and his
sister Josie, aged II, lived with their aunt,
Miss J. F. Erwin, at 80 Union street.
Robert McNie, who is employed by A. G.
Northrop & Co, lives with his wife upstairs
at 30 Union street. These two are mem
bers of the Salvation Army. OF late his
sister has been in the habit of going out
evenings, telling him and her aunt that
McNie was about to become a Catholic
and that she was taking them evenings to
the priests house. The boy heard, how
ever, that instead the McNies had taken
his sister to the army barracks and had en-
listed her in the ranks. Last night he
watched the parade and there saw his
sister marching with the rest. He went to
her side and tried to persuade her to go
home. When she refused he attempted
to drag her from the ranks. Several of
the men and women of the army imme-
diately fell upon and beat him. A com
plant was entered against him and he was
arrested.
Miss Erwin was interviewed and affirm
ed with much earnestness that McNie and
one jacques, an ex-prize fighter. but now a
Salvation soldier, had broken up a happy
home. Josie was a model young woman
until she fell under the influence of these
two men, who have succeeded in enticing
her from her home. 1t is probable that
guardian will be placed over her, who will
control her and keep her out Of the Saliva
ton Army ranks

PEOPLES HEARD FROM.

Kept in Brooklyn, He Writes. by the
Sickness of His Child.
William Moore, acting manager of the
Waterbury base ball club, received letter
from Manager Peoples this morning in
which he states that his little girl has
been very i'll, which was the reason he did
not come to Waterbury. He wrote that he
would try to be here to-day or if not would
make an effort to come Saturday. He
gives some instructions relative to the
team and concludes his letter by asking to
have the attendance at the game Friday
telegraphed to him. The team is practi-
cally in the same position as yesterday.
The weather to-day is not favorable for
game. The game with the New Ravens at
the latter city will possibly not be played.
Catcher Mackie is named as captain and
manager of the team. Letters have been
sent to A. G. SpauldiDg relative to the
suits now lying in the express Office here,
and it is possible that they may be secured
by T. II. Hayes. If the weather permits
tomorrow, the Willimantics will play
here.

FORMER WATERBURY MAN.


Under Arrest in Great Darlington, Mass,
For Murder.
The Berkshire Evening Eagle of Pitts
field, Mass, under date of last Monday,
gives details of murder committed in
Great Darlington Saturday night, by q
former Waterbury man. Two stories are
told of the affair. One is to the effect
that George DeVornoy, q Frenchman en-
ployed by the Great Darlington Coal Co,
48 years of age, about 1880 Saturday even
ing came out of a shoe store with his ten
years old son and passed up Railroad
street. AS he passed in front of James
Crotty's saloon he was struck on the jaw
by Edward j. Carroll and felled to the
walk. This story says the assault was IN
provoked. DeVornoy was picked up I'M
conscious, taken to his home and died the
next morning. The autopsy showed his
jaw had been broken and he had died of
conclusion of the brain. The other story
is that the dead man followed Carroll and
a man named Henehan up the street, sew
eral times catching Carroll's coat and say
ing something to him in French. Near
the saloon in question Carroll turned on
De Vornoy, who raised his hand to strike
when Carroll struck him. This is the
story of Carroll, Henehan and several
others. Carroll ran away but was cap
tured later and taken to Pittsfeld Jail.
He had hearing the next morning which
was continued until next Monday. Ed
ward J. Carroll, the accused, is % years of
age and lately has lived with his mothe
and two sisters in Great Darlington. He
lived in Waterbury prior to last January
and worked off and on for M. J. Daily for
two years. Inquiry at M. J. Days
works disclosed that Carroll was plumb
ers' helper. He had always been an in
dustrious young man and was liked by his
employer and all the men. On January
IL he was laid off because of scarcity of
work. He boarded on Baldwin street and
was always considered q quiet and agree
able fellow. He went to his home after
leaving the employ of M. J. Daily.

Four Years in Prison.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. May 25.-Daniel j.
Cote, alias Samuel Goodman, who so
boldly robbed thousands of dollars worth
of diamonds from Salesman Barnum' 8
trunk at the Glendewer house some
months ago, was sentenced to four years
in state prison in the superior court yester-
day. There was no trial, as Cote changed
his plea from not guilty to guilty. The
maximum sentence for the crime of grand
larceny, with which Cote was charged,
was five years, but the judge in view of
the fact that the accused pleaded gully,
reduced the sentence to four yeals.

A Theatrical White Elephant,


1t is reported that the United States gov
eminent is negotiating for the purchase of
the Madison Square Garden. intending to
make of it branch postoffice. During the
past year the gross receipts of the garden
were about s172, OCO and the total expendi-
lures S215, $50, which left a deficiency of
some SAB, 900, in addition to which there are
unpaid taxes and bills amounting to more
than $50, 900. Since Frank w. Sanger took
the management the outlook is brighter,
as he has booked attractions from now un-
til December. Nevertheless it is under
stood that the stockholders will sell to the
government if they can get their price.

Terry will join the Chigagos when they
come east.
John Ward has struck out but once this
season. Last year he famed but three
times.
Lave Cross leads in the PHILADELPHIA
press race for the most popular player,
with Delehanty second and Hamilton
third. In the contest for the state league
players, George Wood of the Allentowns is
good second.
The Boston management is very much
dissatisfied with the work of Pitcher Sti-
Vets. It thinks there is something behind
all the poor work he has been doing most
of the season. and it is very probable that
if Mr. Jack does not take tremendous
brace, and take it right away, he will find
himself on the suspended list with loss of
pay.
The Boston base ball management
yesterday released Catcher Billy Merritt
Internationally. Merritt has injured his
thumb several times and has been value
less to the club for weeks at time.
Ward said to Sun reporter yesterday:
In Connors case, did not lay him off be-
cause he wasn't batting. It was for the
reason that he wasn't aggressive enough,
and thought Doyle on first base would
put more ginger into the infeld. Conner
never says word while in the game, but
Doyle does. The latter has done such
satisfactory work in the last few games
that shall continue to play him on first
base in the future, and I won't make a
change for anybody.

ones overhead. There is scroll work on
ends executed in orange, lemon and gold
inlaid with pearl. Three round, glass
signs are set at the door posts, executed in
the same general style as the otI ers with

designed in a semi-classic style with
Roman and Egyptian letters, shaded in

background. The work was executed at

"Heredity, the Requests We Make Our
Children" was the subject of DR. Mary
Wood Aliens interesting lecture in the
Second church last night. She said that
the characteristics of parents or ancestors
reappear in the family. although they
sometimes skip for generation or more.
She held that the use of tobacco and alco-
hol was injurious to the system. A man
once told her that he used to smoke fifty
cigars day and they never did him the
least harm, but after he was married seven
children were born to him, all of whom
were lunatics. The lecturer said that
children receive all their habits from their
ancestors. When persons are to be mar
ried they should each look up the an
cestry of the other, for if there had been
anything wrong it is sure to crop out in
the children. A man will say am going
to marry the girl, not her family, but
surely he does marry her family, for the
traits of her people are sure to break out
in her children, and no matter how he
may try he cannot disassociate himself
from her family. She thought that much
of the drunkenness and other vices SO
prevalent to-day were hereditary. Some
times a woman may get a fine education
and then get married and people will say
What pity to throw away such a good
education" But that is just what she
needs, her fine education, for even if she
should die before the child becomes grown
the child will inherit some of the knowl
| edge which she had acquired.

SCARCITY OF COKE
Causes the Closing Down of wheclir
fnIustrlps-

Causes the Closing Down OF Wheeling
Industries.
The coal strike which ha, already
spread to the coke regions is playing
havoc with the Wheeling industrial
establishments that have been running.
Yesterday afternoon the work OF bank
ing down tho blast furnace ut tho River
side mills in Benwood was commenced
for tho reason that there is no available
supply Of coke in sight. Some coke was
received at the Riverside yesterday but
not enough to run the furnace beyond a
day or two.
The steel works at the Same estab.
lishment shut down yesterday morning
on count OF tho scarcity OF fuel, and
it is said that the tube works will also
be shut down for the same reason
within a lew days. II the blast furnace
does not resume soon it will OF course
cause the shut down OF the entire River
eide plant in Benwood.
The Belmont blast furnace, on the
South Side. is still running, but n shut
down at that point is daily expected.
Other establishments will also feel the
effects Of the great miners strike
shortly.
