TRI1L OF SOCIALISTS.
It is Doubtful if There will be Any Con
 ylCtions.

ylctions.
 Berlin, May 1.-The startling cru sade against socialists inaugurated last
 November by Herr von Koeller, the
 Prusslan minister of the interior, upon
 which occasion the houses of many
 prominent socialists throughout Ger
 many including the residences of sev-
 eral leading socialist members of the
 reichstag, were raided and many inn
 portant documents and large quanti-
 ties of socialist literature were seized
 by the police, and the subsequent ar
 rests of socialists and seizures of let
 ters, books, etc, are having a sequel in
 the Berlin courts in the trial of forty | seven socialists under charges of lese
 majeste, sedition and the like, Among the defendants are Herren Auer Rebel,
 Singer and Gerisch, prominent mem
 bers of the socialist party in the reich stag.
 At the opening of the trial, which be- gan on May 15, the judge remarked that the question at issue was whether there had been any breach of the laws governing associations and warned the defendants that he would not permit any political declarations in the course of the proceedings. The public prose- cutor declared that the documents seiz- ed by the police in the houses of the
 defendants proved the existence of a secret organization which was in com pt h,.rr pINae | through secret agents Herr Auer de-
 nied the truth of the public prosecu- tors assertions and the trial was ad- | iourned. The charges against the so- | cialists are based upon the Prussian | associations law enacted by the Prus- sian diet in 1850.
 The convicvtion of the defendants is extremely doubtful, but in any event | the case is likely to arouse attention | to the various laws relating to associa- | tions which are enforced in different | parts of the empire and lead to the l framing of an imperial law which will
 remove the vexatious restrictions which | exist in Prussia and other sections of | the empire. The socialist members of | the reichstag have decided that Herren | Bebel, Liebknecht and Singer be se- | lected as delegates to represent the so- cialist party in the coming internation- | al labor congress in London, during | which special conference of the mem | bers of various parliaments attending 1 the congress will be held for the pur-
 pose of deciding upon plan of action | to be pursued in common for the pro- lection of the interests of labor.
 Herr Liebknecht is already in Eng
 land and his colleagues will shortly fol- | low him there.

When doctor arrived Miss Hazard was dead. For two years Miss Hazard and her little sister have been living in the family of the Rev. MT Dawes.
 The victim of the shooting was in the kitchen this morning when the mur- derer Alexander, went to the house and tried to gain admittance. Finding the doors locked he tried to get into the window, but failing in this he fired a shot through the window. Miss Hazard screamed, sprang through the opposite | t,,i,, etc 41,. street Alexander fired three more shots at her, and when she fell in the street he placed the pistol under her ear and fired the fifth shot.
 A boy standing on a store platform little way off. says the murderer then turned and walked back towards the house. The last seen of him he was going over the hills to South Brewster. The officers are in hot pursuit, but up to o'clock no trace of him had been found. This victim was about twenty two years old.

 l Frederick Alexander is twenty-five years old and has always lived in West Brewster with his father and mother. His habits have always been good, and he was quite a fayorite in the town. He has been working on cranberry bogs and doing other work of like nature. A year or so ago Alexander began go- l ing to parties with Miss Hazard. At first his attentions seemed to please her and he has said she had promised to marry him, but for time she had been i indifferent. He has said: NO one rn Gods footstool shall marry her if do not"
 He has several times threatened to l shoot her. but no notice was taken of his threats, as the family did not like l the idea of the notoriety that a com plaint would bring. Last Sunday night Saddle was at chur and she was accom- panied home by a young friend of hers. l While they were standing at the gate talking Alexander appeared and ad- dressed some remarks to them, then went away. The girl has always borne good reputation, and there was no i one whom she preferred to Alexander. | She simply would not marry him, and | this angered him.

penth of Mrs. Harriet M. Tucker.

After an illness of only four days Mrs. Harriet M Tucker, wife of Frank w. Tucker, and daughter of MT. and Mrs. John A. Peck, died of diphtheria at 1130 last night at her home, 107 York street. Only last Wednesday her little daughter Ruth an uncommonly beauti- ful and interesting child, succumbed to the same dread disease, having been i'll but a few hours.
 Mrs. Tucker was we'll educated and accomplished woman, of a sweet dispo- sition and deeply religious. She was a good daughter, wife and mother and her attractive social qualities won her many warm friends. Her death fol- lowing so soon after the death of her little girl, is peculiarly sad, and those of her family who are left will have the sympathy of the entire community in their most painful bereavement.

 West Rock.

Bridgeport, May 17-The attempt of the Fourth Regiment Signal Corps to transmit messages from Tashua hill near this place, to another corps on East Rock, New Haven, was not sue cess yesterday The members discov- cred that Winchester hill, which inter- Venes between both points mentioned, prevented the flashes from the mir TOTS from reaching their destination. The distance between Tashua and East Rock is eighteen miles. It was also discovered that the plan of signalling between this city and New Haven could be done from the roof of the Bridgeport high school building from Tashua hill to West Rock.

Later communication by Heliograph will be attempted between Tashua and Mount Misery, situated four miles south of Port Jefferson, a distance of thirty-two and a fraction miles.
 The weather yesterday was clear and exceedingly favorable for signalling.
