BAYoNETTED MISS TAYLOR.

Connecticut Guerdsman OveIzeal- Ous i'm a Crowd at Railroad Station.
 Miss Mabel Taylor of New London was severely injured by bayonet thrust, &C., cidentIliy administered, while she visited Camp Coffin at Mantle on the closing day of the encampment. She had quilted the military plain, and was carried in a vast, pushing, jostling, elbowing. crowd upon the platform of the little Niantic railroad station. whence the people were to take the train back to New London. num- Der of provost guards, flushed with excite ment and excessively zealous, endeavored to exert their military authority, and with bayonets fixed on their camp rifles were hurrying about the platform, hunting truant comrades away from the train back into camp. A particularly aggressive and needless provost guardsman dashed head long into a bevy of civilians, with rifle at full charge, and he drove his gilt tering sword-bayonet into Miss Taylor's hip. She shrieked and fell half fainting into the arms of her companion. The soldier hurried away. Miss Taylor was carried to the train; suffering greatly on account of deep cut in her thigh. Ar rived home. New London physician treated her injury. which was serious and extremely painful. It is probable that hel family will bring suit against the guards man.

The Story Fake.

It srose from some "jollying'' so frequently carried on in Colonel T. H Murphy's resort on Main street. where many of the Hibernian rifle members meet. Captain Uarten is quiet, inoffeusive man. and that is why his name was connected with the story. It was stated that Captain Car en visited Mantle last week and secured number of recruits. but Major Sheridan and other military men to day simply laughed at the ssser- fiOO

Prosecutor Webster DenOnnces Maurice
 Moriarty as a Brute and Says He
 Ought to Be Hung.
 Attorney KendEick. who with Judge Lowe appeared for Maurice Moriarty, and who had the case adjourned until to-day so that he could look over the evidence and make an argument, failed to appear in defense of his client this morning. Judge Lowe, who had not taken notes, made an able im- promptu argument. @
 Prosecuting Attorney Webster recounted the long train of circumstantial evidence and closed with these words:
 Ut was one of the most horrible crimes ever committed-this great, strong, brutal man assaulting that feeble, old woman. It should really be murder in the first de- gree and Moriarty should hang; but the evidence is all circumstantial. There is not a soul in Waterbury who does not be- lieve that Moriarty committed that act. The bonds should be SIG. .000."
 Judge Cowell said "The circumstances are very conclusive The facts as brought out, the whole train of circumstances. tell me that should be derelict in my duty as a magistrate if did not hold the accused securely. The man ought not to have bail, but I will make the bonds $S,000."
 Moriarty went to jail this afternoon as 1t was impossible for him to secure that amount.
 Joseph Cough was charged with non. support by his wife. who was respectable looking and neatly dressed. Cough rents tenement of five rooms in the Ralph Smith block, 325 South Main street. He is die sinker. Selectman Morris said that Mrs Cough had applied to him fol aid. that she was unwell and unable tc support herself. Mrs Cough said that they had been married twenty-three years. She l left her husband one year ago. because he did not treat her as a wife should bt treated, and many a night she had to sleoE l in the block alone as there were no other | tenants there at that time. She hac l chronic troubles and was now unable tC | work to support herself. She had beer | stopping at her brothers house of late She was willing to go back if her husband would treat her right. Cough said he stil had the rent she left. She could come bacl at any time, if she so desired An eftor was made to bring about a reconciliation between the two. but without avail Judge Cowell said he had heard of the es arrangement of this couple for years. and A the suggestion of Prosecutor Webster h. ordered Cough to furnish a bond of $20( to the town to pay his wife $4 week This was willingly done by the accused. | Officer Tehan pulled in another of tn Brooklyn gang last night who are terror izing the neighbors in that vicinity There were four in the gan
