THE MUD TOWN RUBES.

Well Known in ToWn-A Drawing At
traction at Polls Theater This Week
Preparation of a New Act.
The Crane Brothers, William A. and
Lew, who are presenting their comedy
sketch act at Polls treater this week,
are well known in this city and vicinity,
as they are residents of Derby, where
they reside with their sister, Mrs. H. G.
Osborn, whose present residence is near
the birthplace of the actors. Their act
which is called 1.-The Mud Town Rubes''
includes fine singing, artistic dancing
and lively jokes. The theatrical en-
gagements of the Crane brothers have
taken them to the far west, where
they gave their performance at Kan
sas City and other western cities. In
Canada their act created unusual mer-
riment at Toronto and Montreal. The
act has been equally appreciated in
the southern states, and for several
years has been successfully presented
in the principal cities of many states.
One of the young gentlemen said yes
terday that at one time they thought
best to refuse an offer of $3.50 per week
for several weeks.
The Crane Brothers with Mr. Belmont
have in preparation a new act which is
to be named THE Mud Town Circus, -
which is to be produced at Tony Pas
tors Fourteenth street theater on Feb
ruary 15 Is is presumed that the new
act will produce as much fun as 1.-THE
Mud Town Rubes."

Additional accommodations for con-
Victs,
The INTRODUCTION of an electric light
system,
The erection of an insane ward,
And the adoption of the indetermi-
nate sentence and parole system.
I feel it my duty to call your atten-
ton to the faithful manner in which
the officers of the Connecticut Prison
association have performed their du-
ties, in connection with the prisoners
discharged from this institution. l be-
lieve it is largely to the material aid
and assistance rendered by this socie-
ty, in enabling discharged prisoners to
procure remunerative labor upon their
release from confinement that so few
prisoners are committed.
I am greatly indebted to Deputy
Warden Baisden, Assistant Deputy
Warden Perkins, Physician Fox and
Chaplain Hall, for the assistance rem
dered in their several departments, and
desire to publicly express my appreci-
alton of their faithful and efficient eff
forts in behalf Of the Connecticut State
Prison.
And to you, gentlemen of the Honor
able Board of State Prison Directors, l
feel under deep obligations for the
kindly advice and encouragement CIV
en- in my arduous duties.
Trusting that my efforts have met
your approval,

FIRE IN KEG FACTORY.

Hot Blaze in the Old Robinson Factory,
Fair Haven-Loss Estimated at $40
000-Covered by .Insurance-Probable
Work of an Tncendiary.
Early yesterday morning a brief but
fierce fire ragged in which the old key
shop, 10 East Pearl street, was almost
totally destroyed. About fifteen minu-
tes after Joseph Donelan, a driver
employed by the New Haven Street
railway, saw blaze in the factory and
at once gave the alarm. The fire de-
partment responded Immediately with
engines Nos. 4 and and later with
engine No. 8. The nature of the mate
rial in the building was ready fuel for
the ravenous monster, and fierce and
hot fire soon was the result. Volumes
of water were turned on and soon the
| fremen had the fire under control but
! they continued at work till nearly
| o'clock. The main part of the factory
and the greater part of the machinery,
| the engines and boiler rooms, We're
totally destroyed, but the walls, strange
to say, did not fall. The Office building
and storehouse were saved also most
| of the contents of the east part of the
| building were saved, though badly in
| jured by smoke and water. The total
loss may be estimated at $4,000, COW
| cred by insurance. The property was
owned by the Robinson company, and
w. A. Hemingway of New Haven and
Max Aliens of New York are the chic.
stock holders.
| Many dark suspicious seem to point
the origin of the fire as the work Of an
! incendiary, as a man was seen to rap
idly leave the building and cross the
river about five minutes before the fire
occurred, but no trace of him has been
| found.
| Unfortunately, to cut down expenses
few weeks ago, the night Waterman
was put on at day work, though the
company had a man in the building
during the early part of the evening.

AleeINsoN DIVORCE SUIT.
Tho Boston Banker VIII BE freed From
His wife without Public scandal.

Tho Boston Banker VIII BE freed From
His wife without a Public scandal.
Boston, May 1.-The Higginson d.
voroe scandal is not likely to be heard In
court. After the elopement tho injured
husband sent his wife 500, 600, which
had been his wedding gift to her, and his
lawyers began collecting the necessary
legal evidence for divorce.
Tho elopoment has bson heralded on two
continents and there was no troHble in
getting the necessary ailidayits. 1t was
then rumored that Mrs. Higginson would
return TO fight the cnse. The a1ldavits
made out clear case against the erring
wife, and great was the conformation OF
her relatives and friends whom the an
nouncemsBt was made that she would
fight tho suit.
Tho case was set for trial next week,
Mrs. Higginson arrived IN New York on
Feb. and went to a little town not many
miles from that city. She employed coun-
sci TO watch tho case and has since been
in constant communication with her law
yer.
In the meantime great pressure has
been brought to bear to induce her to savo
herself and her friends from the added
disgrace which a contest would necessari-
" brina upon them. Ono OF her relatives
said that, while 1t had been Mrs Higgin-
SOM s intention to come to Boston next
Saturday, she had decided not to come.
The case Will be taken. and tho husband
Will put the afiidavits TO Tove his wifo's
unfaithfulness. The case will then rest,
There will be no contest unless Mrs. Hig'
ginson changes her mind once more.
Tho gentleman who gave this informa-
tion was authorized to do so. He says:
Mrs Higginsons friends have stood
by her Loyalty even in her disgrace. 1t is
/ due no their efforts that she has with
drawn from hopeless contest. She will
permit her husband TO obtain the divorce,
| and then she will try to live down the
scandal which has wrecked her life. "
