MURDER IN NAUG1TUCK.
One Italian Woman Fatally Stabbed
 Another-Held Without Bail.

Another-Held without Bail.
 Jealousy is said to have been the cause of a cold -blooded murder at Nau- gatuck yesterday morning about 9:30. At that time Mrs. Mariana Pomponia stabbed a neighbor, Mrs. Paul Rossi, in the left side above the abdomen, and death ensued shortly after. Mrs. Felix Nardetto, Mrs. Donito Cartello and Ma rie Sentore were at the home of Mrs. Rossi when Mrs. Pomponia entered. According to these witnesses, Mrs. Pomponia was excited when she enter ed the room, and after a few heated words she drew the knife and stabbed Mrs. Rossi, who died almost instantly. The three women picked the dead wo- man up and laid her on a bed and Mrs. Pomponia left the house.
 It has developed that after she reached her own home she sent her lit- tie son to inform the police, and then started for the station house herself. She told Chief of Police Schmidt that she wanted to be locked up, as she was afraid that the husband of the woman whom she had killed would kill her Later she said she did not want to be locked up, as she would kill the dead woman's husband, too, if she could find him.
 Medical Examiner Futile and Dr. Johnson were summoned and Coroner Mix of this city was also notified Cor oner Mix held a short hearing yester- day afternoon and ordered Mrs. Pom ponia held without bail
 It is said that the two women had not been on good terms for some time past Mrs. Rossi had been married two or three years, but had no children. Mariana Pomponia's age is probably about twenty-five. She is also married, but has, it is said, no children, living, one child having died. Paul Rossi, called Paul Rose in English, is a stone-mason, and is employed in Wa l terbury.
 | Shortly after o'clock this afternoon Coroner Mix arrived here and in con- pany with Medical Examiner Futile and a stenographer went to the police station and took Mrs. Pomponia's state .ment, as the woman made no attempt to conceal the fact that she committed the crime and old of the occasion for | it. The coroner next proceeded to the house where the crime was committed and obtained the statements of the three women who witnessed the stab bing. The murdered woman's remains were then removed to Twitchelfs mor- que where a postmortem examination was made. Coroner Mix left about 6 p. m. and turned the case over to Medi- cal Examiner Futile, who completed his post mortem investigations shortly before 8 o'clock. The husband of Mrs. Rose, who has been employed in Wa terbury, did not return home up to a late hour tonight and it is thought he might have fled. Mrs. Pomponia will be arraigned in the city court to-mor- row morning, when Coroner Mix will probably report his findings.

Has "aeart Disease" and Makes Big
 Money Out of It.
 New Haveners had better keep their eyes open and their pocketbooks closed for the man with the "heart disease" for however bad his heart may be, the gray matter in his head is all right, as some of the charitable people of the city have found out too late. At least four persons moved to pity by this heart disease" man have paid his fare to distant cities. His method of work ing is little out of the run of the com mon rogue. He is man pale and hag- gard in face and slight in form, appar- ently in poor health. He selects house where he thinks he will be most successful and has an attack of "heart disease" in front of it. He finally sits down upon the curbstone of the side walk and presses his hands to his left side. Attracted by his actions, so in- dicative of pain, the occupants of the houses nearby hurry to his assistance. They find the ''heart disease" man very weak and get him into the house. At first he refuses stimulants, but soon is able to take them. With kind care he gains strength and at last tells his story. He says he was formerly em- ployed by Bradley & Hubbard in Meri- den, but has been sick with the typhoid fever and has just been dismissed from the Meriden hospital. Having no money, he is walking to his home in Brooklyn, N. Y. After he has revived a little more he says he will walk on little farther. His benefactors offer to pay his fare to Brooklyn. He at first refuses, but urged, finally accepts and gets $1.50 in money for his fare.
 Dr. Foster was one of those who had their sympathy aroused by the fellows stories and he and another gentleman paid his fare-$2. 50-to Providence R. I. A few days later a lady visiting at the doctors house told a story of how she had helped an unfortunate man with the heart disease and the doctor at once saw that they had both been victimized, probably by the same fel- low. He has since found that no less than three of his friends were taken in by the same scheme since Sunday.

thusiasm should more properly have come after the fourth act, when MT. Hackett had his best opportunity and did his best work
 The important role of the adventures was we'll played by Mabel Amber In the first half of the play she seemed too artificial and lacking in distinction, but the cold-blooded realism of the trying fculth act was capital. The role of the young husband was conscientiously but not very effectively acted by George Allison. Arthur Hoops was most tin- ished as Ronpell and Longley Taylcr was excellent as the Major. The dif1i- cult role of the ingenue was sympa- thetically and intelligently played hy Miss Miriam Nesbitt.

"rHE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE"
Its First Presentation in This City.

Its First Presentation in This City.
 One of the most interesting plays that last season brought forth, R. c. Cartons "The Tree of Knowledge" was performed at the Hyperion theater last evening by James K. Hackett and a competent company under the man. agement of Daniel Frohman. The audience was large and fashionable and the performance was evidently much enjoyed. Was the size of the audience due to the popularity of the young star, or was it due to the fact that the piece is we'll known to contain woman with-a-past" role? We hope it was owing to MT. Hackett's powers of at- traction that the theater was so well filled, but New Haven audiences do not always show such nice discrimination and there is possibility that some in- teresting fruit might drop from the wisdom tree
 R. c. Carton is an English dramatist of pleasant repute. His play, Liberty Hall,' was wholesome and delightful. '"rhe Tree of Knowledge shows the same feeling for dramatic situation and theatric effectiveness and the literary quality is excellent The dialogue of the first act is unusually fine. The piece was done in London by George Alexander and Julia Nelson. Mr.
 Hackett made distinctly successful
 hit with the part of Vigil Stanyon when the piece was done in New York with Julie Opp as the adventuress. Mir. Frohman presents MT. Hackett as a star now in the part. Later he will be seen as Rudolph Rassendyl in a drama- tization of Anthony Hopes Rupert of
 Hentzau' and it was said that he would play Romeo to Maude Adams Juliet. He is a talented and conscientious young actor with good looks, fine pres ence, and an attractive personality in his favor. His reception here was very enthusiastic. After the third act he was given three curtain calls and then com | pelled to make a speech. This he did | with the utmost modesty of bearing and in perfect taste. It was a trying l situation for young actor and his sim plicity and sincerity commended him
 still further to the audience. The en-

quence of it all is that he now lies
in Jail awaiting trial.
He had been in and around the mines

James Kline and others, even going so
far as to have the necessary papers all
made out. He also had Ben Sheldon
draw up an agreement between himself

deliver Werlin 1900 head of yearling
ewes on or before October Is, 1898, in
exchange of a ranch, etc.
He came to Lander and made out

leery, sent the cheeks to Casper and
found there was no such man known
there.
He had. when arrested. a pocket full
of letters and papers belonging to a

worse than forgery back of 1T all and

American Exports to That Country AL
most Q%uintuple Our Imports.
Washington, Sept. 9.-The fact that
British imports into the United States
have fallen off greatly in the past year,
while American exports to Great Brit
ain have greatly increased has been an
nounced from time to time during the
year, but the full years figures, just
presented by the treasury bureau of
statistics, bring to the surface some in
teresting details not heretofore pub
iished. These show that while the ex-
points from the United States to the
United Kingdom have increased IL per
cent, the imports from the United
Kingdom have fallen of 35 per cent.
The exports from the United States to
the United Kingdom during the past
year were, in round numbers, five times
as much as the imports from the United
Kingdom, THE figures OF the bureau of
statistics being: Imports from the
United Kingdom, $1O9, 1896; exports
to the limited Kingdom, $40. $50, 1852.

SENATOR GRAY GETS THE JOB.
Named In Place of White for Peace
Commissioner.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The president
today named Senator George Gray Of
Delaware as the fifth member of the
peace commission, This completes the
personnel Of the commission, which
stands: Secretary Day, Senators
Davis, Frye and Gray, and Hon. White
law Reid. In selecting Senator Gray the
president has given democratic repre-
sanitation on the commission. The ap-
probably will n~ecessitate the
of Mr.. Gray from the Anglo
American commission, which is con-
d1cting it's sessions in Canada, as this
will resume its work about
the time the peace commissioners sail
for Paris. The position was offered to
the senator several days ago. but at
THAT time was declined The president,
however, further urged MIR Gray to &C
cept, and his flral agreement was Sc
cured today. He is a member of the
senate committee ON foreign relations,
thus making three members of that
codmmittee-Davis, Frye and Gray-on
the peace commission. On foreign
questions Mr.. Gray a generally been
regarded as opposed to expansion, his
senate vote having been against the
Of Hawaii.
Now that the commission is complete
" - expected that ahe American case
will be made up and the commission
given IT'S final instructions. The COM
mission win meet here about the 18th
inst, prior to sailing for Paris, at which
time they will meet tine president and
be made aware In a general way OF the

General Polavieja has handed a copy
81 his manifesto to the newspaper men,
but the censor forbtds it's publication.
The censor also forbids it's transmission
by telegraph. 1t is probable that the
general intends to read it today in the
cortes, but it is certain the government
will insist upon a secret session.
The Liberal today again makes the
assertion that Premier Sagasta will re-
sign as soon as the chamber passes the

CASSIUS NJ. CLAY DIVORCED.
Granted a Decree of Separation From
His Girl Wife.

His Girl Wife.
Louisville, Sept. "a special to the
Evening Post from Richmond, KY,
says:
General Cassius NJ. Clay. the sage
of White Hall, has been granted a di-
vorce from his girl wife, Dora Richard
son Clay, by Judge Scott of the Madi-
son county circuit court The decree re-
stores the defendant to her maiden
name. The suit for divorce was filed
several weeks ago. and as it was not
contested by the defendant, every eff
fort was made to hurry it through the
courts. with the result that a decree
was handed down this morning. No
reference was made to alimony, as it
raj understood by the attorneys and
the court thai General Clay had already
made ample provision for his wife by
the purchase of a large and productive
farm near her old home.
The marriage contract which existed
between them was dissolved.
