son of John Earl Of Butte, archbishop Of
Armagh and lord primate Of all Ireland.
His death was occasioned by a mistake
in administering quantity of laudanum
instead of draft which had been pre-
viously prescribed. His grace having
expressed some impotence that the draft
had not arrived, Mrs. Stuart inquire Of
the servant II it had como. and being an
swered in the affirmative she desired il
might be brought to her immediately.
The under butler went to the porter and
demanded the draft for his master. The
man had just received it, togethes with
two ounce vial Of laudauum forh.sown
use, which he was in the habit of taking
occasionally in small quantities for a dis
ease with which he was afflicted. Most
unluckily in the hurry of the moment,
instead of giving the draft intended for
the archbishop, he accidentally substitut-
ed the bottle which contained the lauda-
mum. In few minutes the mistake was
discovered, but before medical assistance
could be procured he was beyond relief"

Renewing Paint.

"Never use turpentine to take the
paint off your hands, but always use
kerosene" said a pretty and energetic
lady who plies the brush most vigorous
ly, albeit in very utilitarian fashion,
painting her boats, doing all the neces-
sary household renovations and not dis
daining even to varnish her own village
cart when it needs it. "Turpentine
roughens tho hands excessively" she
continued, hut kerosene, on the con
trary, keeps them beautifully soft and
white. For your brushes You should also
keep small keg of oil ready and put
them in it directly until you are ready to
wash them. 1t quite ruins your brushes
to let them dry with the paint on."--

John O'Brien's Punishment For Disturb
ing Salvation Army Parade.

John OBrien's Punishment For Disturb
ing a Salvation Army Parade.
A large number of the Salvation Army
were present in court this morning to con-
Wet young John O'Brien for assault and
breach of the peace. Josie O'Brien, the
sister, whom the boy tried to take from
the ranks, was the first witness. E l..
Maloney was appointed the boys guardian.
She said she was 10 years of age and joined
the army last Monday. She had left her
aunt's home and was now living with Mrs
jacques, wife of one of the army. She had
guardian in Massachusetts. She said her
brother cursed her Thursday night, struck
her and tried to drag her from the ranks.
She denied going out with Robert McNie
and his wife purporting to be going to
priests house. No one had interfered
with the boy but herself. Charles
Fravel, the special officer, said the trouble
lasted five minutes Robert McNie was
the second witness and was pale as ghost
when he took the stand. He admitted
taking hold of the boy, but said he did
not strike him, said William J; ovuea
he heard OBrien and another boy talking
before the parade about the-assault they
were going to make. He did not see the
trouble. He admitted that he joined the
army for something else besides religion.
trouble, but did not interfere. O'Brien
himself saia he had talked with McNie
about his sister and that Monte told him
that his sister was taking him to Father
Mulcahy's house to be converted He was
in the laundry run by his aunt at the time
Jacques said he saw him. Jacques did not
work that day, but left Mrs McNie's house
three or four times during the day with a
pail and went into a grocery store and
saloon. He did not curse nor strike his
sister or anyone else. McNie struck him,
as did Fravel, with a club, on the hand
Miss Erwin. the boys aunt, said she had a
good home, but the girl was enticed away
by the McNies. The girl had no guardian
and will probably be arrested for perjury.
The guardian made plea for the boy on
the grounds that he only did what any
brother would do under the circumstances;
that if he could go into the details of the
case he would show that these people who
prayed over Miss OBrien and enticed her
away were not fit people to teach a young
girl. Judge Root could not overlook the
offense, as the boy had been arrested once
before on a similar charge. He sentenced
him to Jail for thirty days. An appeal
was taken.

FOR WORK ON TOWN ROADS

$40, 900 Appropriated Without Debate
BY a Unanimous vote-No Provision
Made For Hospital For Contagious
Diseases.
The town meeting called for last night
was not as largely attended as it was sup
posed it would have been. @. G. Com
merford was chosen chairman and ex-
planned the purpose of the meeting. The
motion authorizing the selectmen to erect
a suitable building to be used as hospi-
tai for people stricken with contagious dis
ease, at an expense not to exceed So, 500,
was first acted upon and brought out con-
siderable debate. D. j. Casey moved the
indefinite postponement of the resolution.
Mayor Kilduff was on his feet in an in
slant and made an able plea for the pas
sage of the resolution. He said that the
board of health had condemned the old
pest house as unfit to be used for such
purposes and deemed imperative the erec-
ton of a contagious disease hospital. A
proper building could be constructed for
SO, 500 and he thought it was the duty Of
the people to do it.
D. J. Casey made bitter attack on the
motion and said that the town could fit up
a place in the old almshouse that would
meet all the requirements asked by the
board of health.
Other speakers, notably Patrick Hayes
and Henry Perry. argued against the reso-
luton. The chairman finally put the
resolution providing for pest house and
it was defeated
Mayor Kilduff then presented the fol-
lowing resolution, which was also defeated
"Voted, that the selectmen be and they
are hereby instructed to cause to be erect
ed at the town farm a suitable building for
the treatment of contagious diseases, the
plans for such building to be approved by
the health officers of both the town and
the city of Waterbury, and that the city
shall at all times lave the right to use
said building for the above named pur-
pose and shall pay to the town for said
right the SUM of twenty-five dollars (S25)
per annum."
The following resolution was then offer
ed which was passed:
"Voted, that the sum of SO, 900 be and
is hereby appropriated for the improve
ment and repairs of the highways of this
town, and that the selectmen be directed
to employ none but residents of this town
in carrying on and completing such repairs
and improvements"
A vote was passed authorizing the select
men to borrow money to the extent of
the appropriation mentioned in the reso-
luton.

The veteran critic, Henry Chatfeld,
writes:
The aggressive policy is to supersede

his bulldozing of umpires, is to take the

A PITlFUL CASE.
Mrs MaIvina LawIor Arrestedsand Taken
to New Haven,

Mrs MalVina LawlOr Arrestedsand Iaken
to New Haven.
Detective Egan made an arrest this
morning, behind which there is a strange
and sad story. Henry J. Lawlor, now
employed at Holmes, Booth & Haydens,
and Miss Malvina Giroux. lived in Spring
field, Mass. in 1882. She was fifteen
years of age and he somewhat older. On
November % of that year they went to
Hartford and were married by the Rev Mi
Nichols. She bore him eight children,
five of whom died. They removed to Wa
terbury and went to live with her father
and mother at 81 North Leonard street.
About one year ago family quarrels begun.
The woman claimed that her husband did
not treat her we'll. She was finally put
out of the house by her husband. She Sc
cured work from Harry White, the colored
janitor of the Waterbury club, washing
towels. There she met Charles E. White,
Harry's brother. She became intimate
with him and was compelled in time to
leave Waterbury. She and White went to
New Haven and lived as man and wife,
with colored family named Joseph and
Sarah Adley at 76 Court street. A child
was born to her on March 3. She kept
the fact secret from her folks here. Mrs
ALLEY adopted, or pretended to adopt the
child. Mrs Lawlor and Mrs Adley went to
the city hall in New Haven shortly after
the birth of the baby to have
papers drawn up to have Mrs Adley
adopt the child. She pretended
not to know where White was. She was
questioned SO closely that she became
afraid and left the hall. White then drew
up a paper which he, Mrs Lawlor, Mr. and
Mrs Adley and two other colored people
witnessed. The paper represented to be a
transfer of the child to Mrs Adley. Mrs
Lawlor came home to Waterbury three
weeks later. She did not want to give up
her three childre here. White got angry
because she would not return to him and
Mrs Adley became tired of caring for the
child Mrs Lawlor had deserted. Prosecuting
Attorney Fox of New Haven heard of the
case and issued warrants for the arrest of
both parties. White was arrested this
morning in New Haven, charged with
adultery. Mrs Lawlor was taken to the
l :29 train this afternoon by Detective Egan
where he met Detective Sergeant Cowles
of New Haven who took charge of her.
Both will be charged with adultery. The
woman is now about IS years of age, and
is good looking.

was committed. A square of glass had

opened. Two watches, a diamond stud

The letter carriers with their mail bags
were photographed this afternoon in front
of the postoffice. A sudden shower of rain
during the operation surprised not only
the boys but the spectators. There
was a clear sky and many are still wonder
ing if it was one of natures phenomena.
Perhaps, however, the fact that the new
suit of Ed Lewis needed wetting was the
cause of the downpour. The proof will
represent the boys in the middle of a
western cyclone.
