 Speaking of Representative Halls argu- ment before the committee yesterday. on his anti-woman suffrage bill. the Hartford Times, democratic. says:
 He said that the franchise should not be thrust on the women when they do not want it. He argued that the women would not bear arms in defense of the country, nor act as policemen. When Miss Yates had finished her exceedingly brilliant address. Representative Hall hung his head and looked crestfallen."
 The Courant, the leading republican paper of Connecticut, says:
 Moreover, Mir Hall of Waterbury. who wants women deprived of the school suf- frage they now possess, was so over whelmed that the committee announced that his bill was done for" The New Haven Register. democratic, says:
 Representative Hall of Waterbury, a republican, is responsible for the bill and after to-day he is a marked man among the woman suffragists of Connecticut and elsewhere. for that matter" This from the independent Bridgeport i Union:
 ait IS agreeable to note the fact that the members of the committee did not support Mir Halls unjust charges that the suffrage granted was ignored and abused"

DRANKCARBOI1Ic ACID

Mrs Patrick stack Sends to the shop
 For Her Husband and Takes Poison
 on His Arrival Home-Domestie
 Troubles che Cause or the yvoman's
 Rash Act.
 Mrs Patrick Stack, aged 30, drank . dose of carbolic acid with suicidal intent, this morning at her home on Cherry street. Mrs Stack with her husband and little daughter three years of age oc- cupy three rooms in the old white house at 227 Cherry street belonging to the Waterbury Clock Go. The unfortunate woman has been addicted to the use of strong drink and this has caused frequent quarrels between herself and husband. This morning when Stack arose to go to his work at the Clock movement factory another quarrel took place. The woman told her husband as he was leaving the house that he had spoken ill of her and that she would put an end to it. but little did he think that she contemplated taking her own life.
 After her husbands departure Mrs Stack procured half pint h ask and going to the North End drug store purchased an ounce of carbolio acld. At o'clock she went into the tenement of the family of
 
 lower half of the fiat. She asked MT But Ter to go to the shop after her husband on | the plea that she was not feeling well. The latter notified Stack, who immediate ly returned home. When he entered the house his wife bade him good bye and swallowed half the contents of the bottle. Dr Donahue was immediately sum- moned and found an awful condition of things in the house. The woman was ly- ing on a bed of squalor. while the whole house was topsy turvy. There was no lire and dirt and neglect reigned supreme, The scene was a frightful one. The woman was unconscious and her face had turned entirely black. She was breathing heavily. By her side in the bed, lay her child with scarcely sufficient clothing to cover her little body, trying to awaken her mother from her dying stupor. Dr Donahue said it was the saddest, most | pitiable scene he ever witnessed. He found that the woman had taken an ounce of the acid diluted in water and no power could save her.
 Rev Father Lynch was called in by the | neighbors who had hocked to the. house upon learning the awful news. He did what he could under the circumstances. Dr Hayes was also summoned, but could render nc aid. He said one ounce of the acid was sufficient to cause death | Dr Crane, who is acting as medical exam finer. in the absence of Dr Axtelle. alsC visited the house. The woman was grow ing weaker and weaker and the only sur prise was that she lived so long.
 At press hour the woman was still alive but her death was momentarily expected.

Fine Ellsler will present ''Haxel Kirke" at the opera house this evening. The play was given in Hartford Tuesday night and the Courant says: Miss Fife Ellsler. supported by Robert Drouet, Frank Weston and a capable company, presented Hazel Kirke" at Protectors Tuesday night be- fore an apprec:ative audience. Miss Els Ter and other members of the company re- ceiyed curtain calls and the old play was received with enough marks of approval to justify this revival of it. The acting was good.
 s.She COuldn't Marry Three"
 Lillian Kennedy is quite a winsome sou bIette and last night at Proctor's she thoroughly pleased a large audience with her clever work as Bess in "She Couldn't Marry Three" Miss Kennedy is the pos- sessor of good voice. and of course she uses it with good effect. Charles Robin son made a bright comedian and shared the applause with Miss Kennedy. The rest of the cast gave good support.

FISH WON'T BITE.

 Even Kelly the Baker Failed to Hook
 Anything at East Mountain.
 The story told of the hardships en- countered at sea during the last couple of weeks are almost eoualed by the reported trials and Accomplishments experienced on the East Mountain reservoir since Presi. dent Welton commenced issuing his fish ing permits. For some reason, no one seems to know why, the fish have acted more varily this season than ever before and some of the most experienced anglers have been forced to haul m their lines after several efforts with the temperature below zero and return home without get ting a single bite. It is the first time in years that Baker Kelly was forced to re- turn without getting something for his labor, but his companions in distress speak of bim as one the most experienced men that threw a line out there this win ter. and say that there must be something wrong with the bait sent ont this year. Last Tuesday F. W. Connor, the Stone street grocer, and J. Flynn. spent ten hours on the ice and never got a nibbie. They saw Rob" Witte return home discour- aged after an all nights fruitless effort to make a catch. It was so in almost every case with the exception of little party on Baldwin street who seemed to have re- markable success. and returned with a basket full of pickerel and perch that would do honor to the best efforts of pro- fessionals. The party consists of John c. Downey, John Cavanaugh, Michael Foley, James Sheridan. Edward Bagley. Martin Keefe, Edward Champain and Finton Keefa. The boys were offered good price for the fish by some of the fellows in other parts of the town, who wanted to put them on exhibition as the result of their own success, but the offer was re- fused and the baskstful is now on exhibi. ton at Keefe < Foley's, at the corner oi Stone and Baldwin streets.
