TROUT WORTH HOOKING.

The Rig Brown Fellows That Are
 Growing i'm Connecticut Streams.
 About l20, 900 of the European brown trout have been introduced in Connecticut streams. They are reported to be doing very we'll. This fish is peculiarly adapted to our streams from the fact that its growth is more rapid. and that it will live and thrive in streams which have been aban- doned by the common brook trout, Mir Follett states that the brown trout will stand a temperature of at least five de- grees kher than the brook trout and it's growth Is almost twics as rapid, In year or two more some fine results are expected.
 Like native trout the brown trout Is a species of migratory salmon. When planted in streams tributary to the Connecticut riuer they will make their way to the sea in the fall and remain active in the brack- ish water during the winter. The trout that have this opportunity to go either to the sea or large lake during the winter will reach their greatest growth and perfection in about six years, when they will weigh from three to ten pounds each.
 The introduction of this fish into Con necticut streams will certainly mark a new era in Connecticut trout fishing. For the first two years its growth is about the same as that of the brook trout After that it rapidly doubles in size. owing to the fact that as it increases in size it feeds more ou other fish.

They are children of Mir and Mrs Timothy Healey, who live in the rear of g Union street. Sanitary Inspector Moses, Dr Freney and Superintendents Dickinson and Combellack testified to the frightful condition in which they found the tenement these children occupied.

A Cleveland Detective Tells of Their Vari-
 ous Confessions.
 BUFFALO, March 'l6.-The trial of the Robinsons for the Gibbs murder was con- tinued here. Detective Doran of the Glove land force, the man who discovered the first clew. gave important testimony. He told of tho arrest of Robinson in Cleve- land on a charge of burglary and of how Sadie had come to him and said, If you will see that Clarence does not get more than two years, will tell you something you arc all trying to find out"
 Tho promise was not given, but Sadie was afterward sent for and questioned. She then told q rambling story of Q man being held mp and shot in Buffalo byra man named Flannigan. Witness went to sec Flannigan and Snyder who were both in jail on n charge of burglary, and got a story of tho shooting of Gibbs, in which the Robinsons were said to be the guilty parties,
 The next statement got out of Sadie was to tho effect that Clarence had done the shooting. The statement was shown by witness to Clarence. and the latter thereupon denied that he had done the shooting and had placed the blame upon his wife, saying that while he was holding Gibbs up Sadie had fired the fatal shot. Clarence, said the witness, was very anx- ious to know whether Sadie had made tho statement for the purpose of getting rid of him that she might he free to go of with some other man. If thought she did, |" said Clarence, she would sit on the same chair with me" Ono other witness was examined, but the evidence was unimpor- tank

The Britannia Again Beaten by the New
 Fife Cutter.
 CANNES, Franco March l5.-The now Fife racing cutter Ailsa. owned by MT. W. Barclay Walker, in a breeze which av- eraged from light to fairly strong, the finish being in light weather, beat the Prince of Wales cutter Britannia by IS minutes lS seconds actual time, and by 1s minutes corrected time
 At the end of the race a number of Americans who were present agreed in the opinion that the HerreShoffs must do won- ders in order to turn out boat which will beat Ailsa
 The race was for the Ogden Goelet and James Gordon Bennett challenge cup No. l, valued at 800 guineas, for all yachts over 20 rating. The course was triangu- lar, had to be sailed over three times and was about 30 miles in length. The prom enade and all other similar points ashore were again crowded with people eager to witness the thrice postponed contest for the challenge cup now held by Britannia and which must be won three times by the same owner, though not necessarily with the samo yacht, in order to become the property of the winner.
 Mir. Ogden Goclet's steam yacht White Ladye and other yachts had large invited parties on board, all eager % soc if the new cutter could repeat her performance of last Thursday, when she won her maid en race, defeating Britannia by minute 24 seconds corrected time and under tho disadvantages of q weak topmast, which prevented her from carrying a topsail on tho last round.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

ARepublican Correspondent Pays His
 Respects to the New Charter. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 | admire the stand taken by your paper in regard to the proposed new charter. It is consistent, in marked contrast with your daily contemporaries. The wriier is not a democrat, let it be understood. He is not in this matter by personal mo- tives. has no axe to grind and expresses an opinion simply as a citizen. The matter of charter revision should be submitted to the people. at least that portion of it re. latirg to the consolidation. The charter is to the city what the constitution is to the state, and as understand it the con- stitution cannot be changed by the general assembly before the matter is submitted to the people. It is assuming too much for the city council to say that the organic law shall be changed. Why is there any hesi. tation on the part of the city fathers ? Surely they will not attempt to railroad this great question through the legislature without giving the citizens an opportunity of expressing an opinion at the ballot box. That would be oowardly and scandalous. The desire of the people should guide the city council. Perhaps consolidation is for the best; maybe not. It will not make the measure popular if an attempt is made to force it upon us

NEW HAVEN, March 15.-Lawyers in England are trying to locate Sir George W. Northhead. an heir to a title and an estate of g ,O0O, 900. They have made inquiries Tn this city and have received some in formation which may help them in finding the man. It is believed that Northhead. was we'll known in this city. He answers the description of George ". Northhead who lived in West Haven about 40 years ago and had a carpenter shop. About twelve years ago he was injured in Meriden by the door of the freight car fall ing on him. He sued the Consolidated road. but the matter was compromised. The road made him stationmAstsr at West Haven. Soon after he was discharged for drinking. Later he became nurse. One night he became angry with patient and assaulted him. He was arrested and
 fined. Northhead disappeared from this city after this affair and nothing more was thought of him until the inquiries were received from abroad. From the infor- nation given in the letters of inquiry it seems that Northhead put in an appearance in England about three years ago, shortly after the death of his benefactor. He proved his identity and on the strength of his prospects received a large sum of money in advance of the settlement of his claim to the estate. Shortly after receiving this money he dis appeared and since then all trace of him has been lost.

Secured SIS From Frank GrRber,
 the Bird Fancier.
 Frank Graber, the South Main street bird fancier and shoemaker, is out $75 which some clever sneak thief picked from his pocket yesterday. On Monday a dap per young fellow entered the store and waited while Mir Graber repaired his shoes. When the job was finished the stranger handed the shoemaker a g bill and the latter went to his vest which hung beside the sink, and got the change,..$1. The fel- low talked German and seemed to be cap tivated with the stock of birds Tn the store, Yesterday the same man entered and bought a canary. but said he would not take it at that time He walked up and down through the store, and took several cages in his hands. He went to the sink and Mir Graber sat down at hls bench and com, Everything went along we'll until dinner hour. Then the shoemaker reached for his vest which had hung by the sink and at once missed his pocketbook containing $75 and several receipts. Mir Graber knew that there had been no one near the sink in the morning except the young man who who bought the bird and he at once re- ported the case at police headquarters, Detective Egan made a call at the railroad stations. but no tidings of the fellow could be found. Then it was decided to try Naugstuck, Mir Graber going down on an electric car and the detective following a short tune later. They reached Naugatuek in time to call at the station before the the south bound tram left. While standing on the platform Mir Graber saw the man about to board the train and immediately the shoemaker made a rush for him. But the man who could perform such & clever trick few hours previous and escape was not to be caught so easily now. With a sudden bound the fel' low started from the platform and ran down the railroad track, Mir Graber in hot pursuit. The fellow was too fleet footed for him and MT Graber after using all the speed there was in him and seeing no hope of capturing the man gave up the chase and returned home on the next train. The thief is described as a young man about five feet eight inches tall, with dark com plexion, dark hair and moustache and wearing a light brown overcoat The description tallies exactly with that of a man who has been prowling around River side street for the past few days.

 Under a Guard of Militia
 NEW ORLEANS, March 15.-The stormy scenes along the river front of New Orle- ans have been succeeded by Q calm and something approaching the normal condi- tion of affairs restored. Work was resum- ed on the wharvcs, at least partially, but 1t was only the colored screwmen who took up their tools and then only under the pro- lection of armed guards. Where there were no troops there was no work.
 The white sorewmen hold aloof, preserv- ing a sullen, threatening silence. but none made movement which could cause the militia to use force to suppress 1t. Though still strained, the situation is much improved. Governor Foster is still in the city and has announced his deter imitation to remain here until the trouble Is finally settled. NegotiAtions arc in progress which may produce this happy result. but the outcome cannot be predict cd at present.
 Meanwhile tho state authorities are talk ing no chances. The troops again reported for duty this morning when work on the shipping was yeeume4
