ANOTHER 9'iSLASHER.I

VimcemEO Cleric Severely Punished
 For Using Knife Upon His Land-
 lady.
 The case of Vincenzo Cierle, charged with assault on Mrs Mary Rose, occupied an hour in the city court to day. Mrs Rose, who keeps "roomers" on Canal street, said that on Saturday night she or dered Oierle to cease making so much noise in the sitting room. Cierle became angered and seized the weman by the throat. She also took hold of him and be- gan to kick him. Oferle pulled knife and struck at the woman. She warded oil the blows receiving two cuts on the left arm. Her right thumb was also cut the street. Several other witnesses testified to the fight, but no one else saw the knife. Cierle said the woman tackled him first and he had used no knife. Judge Lowe, who helped to prosecute, said that there had been so many Italian stabbing affrays of late that severe penalty should be inflicted. The spectators benches were | filled with Italians, and Judge Lowe turned toward them and said: Judge Cowell, you are known to be a merciful judge, but ! you should teach these people that they cannot use knives with impunity or get of with light fne." He further said: "1 will never defend another Italian who is accused of using a knife, unless he can prove to me that he acted in self defense or | justly" Attorney Durant's argument was not in it, for Judge Cowell sentenced Cier1e to four monthsin jail and fined him $100 and costs. An appeal was taken un der $200 bonds.
 l The case of Paul Kuhn of Waterville, charged with non-support, occupied an. other hour. If one could understand Ger man there is no doubt but what it would have been interesting, Mrs Kuhn left hel home and two small babies week age because. as she said. her husband abused her and hi mother was usurping hel place. Mrs Kuhn had an able supporter ir her sister, who rattled of tirade of broker English which even the court could mol control. Kuhn was in court with his two babies, his mother and Mrs Faber, [ neighbor. Their testimony developed tho fact that Mrs Kuhn is very excitable anG imaginative Kuhn is & respectable look ing man and said he had always supported his wife but she neglected her household duties. Judge Cowell advised the woman to go back to her home and children
 When court adjourned there was circus Mrs Kubn and her sister bersted every

 boy in turn said that his father abuse
 both him and his mother and beat hir with clubs and stones. He refused to g
 home. Judge Cowell gave him his choic of g,ing home or going to the reforr
 school. He first chose the latter, but afte
 little persuasion consented to go home. The case of Ann Agnew, for violatin the city ordinance relative to buildin

School Tax Laid and Other Matters
 Discussed.
 There was largely attended meeting of the electors of the Simonsville school dis trict in the school building last night A vote was passed ordering a 12 mill school tax on the list of 1894. The con- dition of the finances was discussed at length. At a previous meeting it was voted to borrow money to the amount of about 5000 to pay of the school debt, the loan to be made in three different sums. It was the opinion of the meeting that better terms could be secured by making the loan all in one lump and it was decided to call special meeting in the near fu- ture, when all previous motions will be rescinded and the idea of lasts nights de- Alterations carried out. The new school and grounds are undoubtedly the hand somest in the oatlying districts and in many respects are tbe equal of any of the educational institutions in the center school district.

CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN.

A Suggestion That Priest be Selected
 by Colonel Rarpee.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Would it not be gracaful compliment to a'large number of the officers and men of the Second regiment for Colonel Burpee to appoint clergyman of that faith to succeed Rev Dr Twitchell A large proportion of the citizen soldiery of the state are Catholics, and, it seems to me, 8 priests connection with the Second would have an influence for good over the entire brigade. would not for moment advo- cate sectarian services, bat believe it only right that now and then Catholic chap lain should be appointed. There were many such during the war and the records show that they did their full duty.

To Get R Farm and Have R Track Near
 Meriden.
 Senator W. NJ. Stewart or Nevada was iR Meriden again Saturday. The Jour nal" says he and H. B. Beach are looking for good farm where the senator can es- tablish a fine half-mile track. His idea is tc put up a spacious grand stand and have the track fast one. He believes that it would be a paying venture seeing that there is not one good track in the state now that Charter Oak Park in Hartford is to be cut up The senator has horses on the trotting park under Charles Smart's care, but does not like the track. He owns about forty good trotters and pacers and could give a fine meet with only his stock. He will endeavor to get the fastest horses ID the country here to compet for the purses he would offer.

An ARCTIC nniu...,,...

A gigantic specimen of the arctic
rhinoceros has. lately been discovered
frozen up in an iceberg which, stranded at
the Lena delta. This specimen was seven
feet taller than the largest variety of the
rhinoceros Of today and was armed
with two nose horns, the shortest of
which was feet 2 inches in length.
The animal doubtless belonged to an
antediluvian species of rhinoceros, and
his immense size gives some idea of the
enormous and terrible beasts which in
hablted this planet in the days when
the earth was young The creatures
body was entirely covered with very
long, thick hair, which proves that the
arctic regions were his natural habitat

WHAT IT MAY MEAN.


The Projected Rock leland. Muscatine &
South western Railway.
The newspapers of this vicinity
have got on their thinking caps with
reference to the ultimate object of
the Incorporation of the Rock Island.
Muscatine & Southwestern railway.
The Muscatine Tribune says:
There is a robust suspicion har-
bored in the minds of those who
know anything concerning railroad
building that the newly projected
Rock Island, Muscatine & Southwes-
tern railway is backed by some strong
system which does not wish to dis
close its identity at this time"
The Davenport Times says: THE
Springfield dispatch noting the in
corporation SAYS that the capital
stock is 800. 900. which is not sufli-
cient certainly to leave any surplus
after the outlay for the projected en-
terprise. However, Major Boards
ley, one of the incorporators, says
that the company will be backed by
an ample capital. which leads to
the inference that one Of the big
railway systems is backing the con.
templated venture. 1t can hardly be
the Rock Island, as the projected
road, according to the route out
lined, will parallel the lines of the
c., r. l. & P. The Northwestern
may be DESTROYS of invading the
southwest field. and if so, (the Dav.
export, Clinton & Eastern, which
seems to be undergoing Rip Van
Wrinkle experience) the new bridge
and the proposed line to Muscatine
and the southwest would seem to
give it the desired opening. The
suspicion that some other company
NAV be back of the Rock Island
Muscatine enterprise is strengthened
by the fact that none of the incorpo-
rators Of the new company have ever,
so far rs is known, been accused of
being millionaires, and in this pro-
sale and practical age railroad can
not be built without a generous sup
ply of the coin of the realm"

Lightning.

The curious fact has been observed
that while buildings generally are more
liable to accidents from lightning during
the first half of the year than during
the last, barns form an exception to
this rule. In attempting to account for
this it has been suggested that full
barn is warmer than an empty one and
that tho heated and somewhat moist air
rising from the straw or hay is more
conductive than cooler air and Sat
