Death of David 4. Welch, the Well Known
West Haven Coal Dealer.

d. T. Welch of the we'll known firm of
D. T. Welch & Co., coal dealers in West
Haven, died at his residence at the cor
ner of Main street and First avenue,
West Haven, yesterday afternoon, after
an illness of about five weeks.
Mr.. Welch had been suffering from
kidney trouble, and it was this that
caused his death. He was fifty-nine
years of age and had been engaged in
business in this city and immediate
vicinity for seventeen years. G. w.
Warner was associated with him in the
coal business under the firm name of d.
T. Welch & Co. The firm has occupied
a considerable portion of the West Ha-
ven docks near the Winchester avenue
railroad power house.
Mr.. Welch was formerly in business
with A. T. Stewart the famous dry
goods merchant of New York. He came
to New Haven from New York in 1880.

the republic would ask the farmers to
give them apples, which request was
complied with, and the boys bought
them in large quantities and sold them
cheaper than the other boys, who had
to buy them at wholesale prices. These
latter merchants began to agitate the
matter of some kind of protection, and
one of them proposed that a tax of 25
cents bushel should be laid on such
apples. Another thought that these
fellows, being pretty slick, would man.
age to get the best of them, anyway,
and he proposed that the farmers be
asked to make them work for what ap-
pies they gave them.
1T was finally voted to lay a tax on
the Importation of such apples, and
thus the question was settled.
THE boys are left to follow their own

MIR. DOCKERY ON EXTRA VAGANCE.
The Missouri Congressman Says Public
Expenditures Must be Curtailed.

Washington, March L-Representa-
tive A. M. Dockery of Missouri, in a
leave to print" speech, which is to be
published in Tuesdays Congressional
Record, attacks the Fifty-fourth con-
gress for its expenditures in strong
terms. He says in part:
The republican party cannot escape
the condemnation of the country for
unjust and unwarranted appropriations
in time of profound commercial de-
preston. When this congress convened
at its first session labor was discon-
tented because of inadequate compen-
sation, mining industries were at a
standstill; manufactures We're closed or
running upon limited time, while aGri-
! culture was utterly PROSTATE.
| upon the reassembling of this con-
2ress at its second session in Decem-
| ber last these adverse business condi-
tions were aggravated. Every consid-
Grafton of patriotism, equity and fair
dealing demanded a policy Of rigid
|
ers attempted to enforce such a policy.
This house, however, with its repub-
lican majority of one hundred and
eight has recklessly disregarded the OBJ
vious requirements of the national
| treasury, and instead of making an
honest effort to close the ever-increas-
| ing chasm between receipts and expen-
ditures has still further widened it by
appropriations which, in aggregate, are
without precedent.
In my opinion the time has come
when congress, in response to the de-
mands of the people must reduce the
expenditures. The best practical
method by which this can be accom-
plished is to change the rules again and
clothe with the requisite power and re-
sponsibility, one committee-be it the
committee on appropriations or, as was
the case prior to 1861 the committee on
ways and means. BY this method ap-
preparations can be reduced within the
revenues of the government wisely
harmoniously and without Gripping
any branch of the public service.
There should be one committee organ
lied to protect the taxpayers and the
| treasury"

BELIETED no RE INSANE.
Defauiting Paymaster John Corwine, U. S
N, Arraigned at Newport.

Newport, r. L., March 7--Paymaster
John Corwine, U. S. N, who left the
naval station last Monday and was ar
rested in Chicago on Wednesday, was
brought here this afternoon and waived
the reading of a warrant charging him
with obtaining $4,000 from the First
National bank under false pretences.
His case was continued until Friday
next and A. C. Titus gave $4,000 bond
for his appearance.
An officer from the naval station then
demanded the custody of Corwine, in
accordance with the order for his arrest
issued by the secretary of the navy.
This tended to comphcate matters. If
the federal authorities secured possess
sion of CorWine they would be obliged
to take him on board ship and confine
him in his stateroom pending the hold
ing of a court martial, in which case
his bondsman would be unable to pro-
duce him in the state court. After
some hours the matter was finally sub
mitted to Commodore Wallace, who
consented not to contest the state court

Mr.. Corwine was accordingly allowed
to go to his family. OF the $1,000 that
he secured from the bank, all but $50

bility that the charge may be with
drawn. 1t is not true that Mr.. Corwine
took away his check book. He is be-
Iieved to be insane.

PROPER SPHERE OF WOMAN
REV. Mr.. DICKERMAN ON HER
P1ST AND PRESENT BONDAGE.

No Moral Dinerence Between woman
Who Goes Under to Obtain Food and
Shelter and the Woman Who Sells Her
self to Obtain Home-society Curses the
One and Approves the Other.
woman in Bonds" was the subject
of Rev. Mr. Dickerman's lecture at the
Church of the Messiah last evening.
Mr. Dickerman said among other things
that he believed that woman would take
an important part in the upbuilding of
the race and thought that she should
not be handicapped, but stand on an
equal footing with man. She should be
divested of the fetters which she has
worn all these ages
The fear that man will not remain
the lord of creation he said, has
been the cause of woman's enthrall-
ment. From the beginning woman has
been absorbed in man, and it was be-
lieved that she was made as an acces-
sorry to the center piece of the worlds
furniture. The laws determining that
sphere were made without her voice or
consent.
Marriage and maternity have be-
come the chief ends of woman's life,
instead of it's incidents. Inequalities of
the pace was not the result of delibera-
ton. Animal force was the sole critic
rion of mans and woman's places in the
world. The law of the strongest has
been repudiated, sentimentally, in mod
ern times, but it yet holds. In ancient
times the greater part of mankind was
in bondage and all womankind. Now
man has been entirely freed while Wo-
mans bondage has been changed to a
nrilder form of dependence. Women
were formerly sold for cattle and other
chattels, but now they sell themselves
for a home and that wicked thing we
call society looks on with approval.
There is no moral difference between
the woman who goes under for food
and shelter and the one who marries for
the same. The act is the same. So
ciety curses, the one and throws a
glamor about the other.
Woman has been a protected crea-
ture all the ages, and there is an inti-
nation Of suspicion in the protectorate
under which she has lived. Woman
should assert her opinion without apol-
ogy The time has come when women
are beginning to see that they have
| something to do in the world besides
displaying feathers. They, as well as
man, are to odd to progress There is
no detraction from the graces of wo-
man when she uses the decision of her
own judgment. I predict that in the
coming age she will accelerate the
worlds speed in progress vastly more
| than man has done in the past

SCENE or DETAST4ITTON,
Condition of Miles of Indiana Which We're
Inundated by Water.

Indianapolis, March THE country
along every water course in Central
and South Indiana presents a scene of
unprecedented devastation. The waters
began to recede yesterday and it soon
appeared that the early reports gave
little idea of the actual destruction of
railroad property. Besides the washing
out of many miles of track on the diff
ferent roads, it is learned that 113
bridges and trestles over rivers, creeks
and gulleys are either down anw wash
ed away or so badly misplaced that
Gays will be required to make the roads
safely passable.
An entire passenger train near Mar
tinsville yesterday came within a sec
ond of plunging into a swollen creek
and deep ravine. The locomotive was
backing on the front of the train, and
when the tender struck the first span
its weight caused the trestle to sag.
The engineer reversed his lever and
pulled back on the track just as the
bridge went down. Sixty lives were
thus saved.

pRnsIDENr m,KINLEY Ar CHUECH.
Sermon by Bishop Newman-A Large
Throng Attended the Service.

Washington, March 7.-President Nc
Kinley's first Sunday in the white house
was a quiet one. No callers were re-
ceived and the president had an oppor-
tunity of resting from the fatigues of
the week. He arose later than usual,
after a refreshing nights rest. Break
fast was served at o'clock.
At 0 o'clock he prepared for church.
and, accompanied by his mother, at
tended services at the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church, corner of
-Four and a Half and c. streets, north
west where President Grant was ac-
customed to attend AS the presidents
intention had been announced the
crowd was very large. The president
was shown to what is called the presi-
Dental pew. The other occupants were
his mother Abner Mckinley his broth
er, and Private Secretary and Mrs. Por-
ter.
Rev. DR., Johnson, the pastor, opened
the services with prayer, and Bishop
Newman of Omaha, Neb,, formerly the
pastor of this church, when Grant was
president, preached the sermon. The
edifice was crowded, the aisles We're all
filed, and many could not gain admit
tance.
Bishop Newman took for his text, Il
have not come to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance
From this text he preached an elo-
quent discourse. Good laws, good gov
ernment, knowledge and philanthropy,
the pastor said, were all good, but
would not be sufficient Seek first the
kingdom of heaven" was the first and
last principle of political economy.
When the distinguished party left
crowd was so great that the police had
to clear the way AS President McKin-
ley passed with his mother on his arm
the crowd cheered and the president
doffed his hat several times. Entering
the carriage the party drove at once to
the white house. Mrs. Mckinley, the
presidents wife, was so fatigued that
she could not attend church with her
husband
After returning to the executive man
sion the president remained within
doors until after noon, when he took a
short walk with a friend, returning
from which he spent the remainder of
the day with the members of his fam
lily.
Vice President Hobart and wife to-
day attended services at the Church of
the Covenant, the Rev. DR.. Hamlin
preaching the sermon.

Two Men in Presumably Drunken Stupor
Burned to Death.

! Peterboro, N. H, March IA frame
dwelling two stories high, owned by
Eugene o. Mccarthy, and situated on
North street, East Jaffrey, was destroy
ed by fire this morning. The contents
of the house were also destroyed and
Charles l.. Knowlton, aged forty-three
years, and Crosby Lalin, aged fifty
five, were burned to death About 4:30
the fire was discovered by members of
the family occupying the lower tene-
ment, who had barely time to escape
with their lives, but did not have time
to arouse Knowlton and Lakin, who
were asleep upstairs. Lakin leaves a
wife who is at the insane asylum. The
origin Of the fire will never be known.
The men who were burned obtained a
gallon of liquor last night and had been
drinking. 1T is thought the fire origin
ated in their apartments. 1t was val

MEYER SUCH 4 FAIL OF SNOW.

Four Feet on Level.

In Many Places in the Northwest it is
Four Feet Level.
st. Paul, Mimi, March Reports to-
night from 100 towns in the northwest
indicate that another great snow storm
is raging, perhaps the greatest of the
winter. serious blockade is one in
South Dakota. No trains have been
moving to Watertown, Huron, Millbank
and other points for the past twenty
four hours. The South Dakota legisla-
ture, which adjourned at Pierre on Fri
day, has been unable to leave that
place owing to the blockade.
General Superintendent Harding of
the Great Northern, who has just come
in from North Dakota, says he never
up there He said:
Il think | would be very conservative
indeed in estimating the snow as being
three feet on a level on the plains. 1t
is probably nearer four feet on a level
and it is not all down yet as kilograms
received this afternoon indicated
another snow storm"
Asked concerning the snow in the
mountains Mr.. Harding said it had sur
passed all previous records. In many
places it was far over the telegraph
poles and so deep that the rotary plow
could do little better than cut a tunnel
rather than swarth. There is so
much snow on the ground that there is
grave fear of floods both in the Mfssis-
sippi and Red River valleys. Every
thing depends on the temperature of
the next few days.
Salt Lake City, March IA snow
slide swept down this morning upon the
works of the Daily mine at Park City,
burying eight men. Four of them were
recovered and resuscitated. the dead
bodies of three were dug out by the
miners and one is not yet recovered. al
though it is certain he is dead. The
four men who are alive were injured,
but are likely to recover. The eight
men were asleep when the avalanche
struck their cabin. The avalanche de-
moIished the mill of the DAILY company
and did $500 damage. There was
$1,000 in money in trunk in the cabin
which was swept away.
