Of her work and opposed the establish
ment of children's bureau.
Alonzo A. White, of the board of over
seers of the poor Of the city of Worces-
ter, endorsed the work of the state
board relative to the care Of children,
and didn't believe in any change. He
thought it rather dangerous to accept a
theory for a system that had been
thoroughly tried and improved from
year to year until 1t had attained de-
gree nearly to perfection. City Almoner
Brown Of the Worcester poor depart
ment, followed Captain White, and add
ed his endorsement to the work of the
state board of lunacy and charity. Mr..
Brown detailed the work and methods
Of the Worcester poor department and
the relations of the Worcester depart
ment with the state board. Mr.. Brown
saw no chance of improvement with a
children's bureau. The present system
of caring for children was an excellent
one, as the results would show.
Miss Jacobs, deputy superintendent o.
the department of outdoor poor, told
the committee of her is years connec-
ton with the state board and her work
for eleven years in the position she
now holds. She didn't believe in chill
drens bureau.
Messrs Morton and Southmayd and
Miss Hancock, three Of the visitors OF
the board, told the committee of their
work, and the hearing was then con-
tinued until Thursday next at 1890.

commissioners Tuesday upon the petl-
ton of John e. Kimball, David Merriam
and j. Edward Nichols, for the laying
out of street in oxford and the es-
tablishment Of a grade crossing at the
tracks Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad. The street,
which has been in use for some years
under the name Of Water street, crosses
the tracks of the Norwich and Worces-
ter railroad at grade, and some months
past the officials ordered fence built
across the highway, closing the road to
travel. The town officers appealed to
the railroad to remove the obstruction,
but unsuecessfully. In the investigation
of the matter it has been found that
although the road has been in service
for forty years, it was never legally
constructed. hence the selectmen for
mally petition the county commission
ers to lay out the street at it haA eX-
isted
The petition is opposed by the Con-
solidated people, who lease the Norwich
and Worcester, on the ground that 1t
establishes a dangerous grade crossing
where the street crosses the tracks.
Frank B.. Smith, who was to appear for
the petitioners, was unable to be present
from enforced attendance in the supe-
rtor civil court, although F. A. Farm
ham, counsel for the Consolidated, was
ready to proceed. Chairman Stone an
nounced that the meeting of the parties
was more to settle date for full hear
ing than the presentation of evidence at
the time, and accordingly adjournment
was made to April Is, at the Oxford
town hall, when the county commits
sioners will visit the premises and hear
arguments.
CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT, UT
LEY, THURSDAY, FEB. 10.
Thomas Wittum was charged with as
sault and battery on his father-in-law,
Victor Barber. The assault occurred
last Sunday afternoon, when Barber
went up stairs to his son-in-laws tene-
ment to quell disturbance between
Whittum and his wife. Officers O'Day
and Murphy went to the house and
found Whittum in bed. After caution
ing him to remain there, they left the
house. Later there was another out
break, and during the trouble Barber
was stabbed on the head and neck with
pocket knife. Mrs. Whittum said
there had always been trouble between
her father and husband, on account Of
her not marrying the man her father
had selected for her. Whittum was
fined $40 and bound over in $50 to keep
the peace for six months. He appealed,
Timon for the defendant.
Christine Prescott, charged with as
sault and battery on Annie Demar, was
discharged for lack of evidence.
Thomas Carter and Frank Wells were
charged with vagrancy. They were ar
rested by Inspector Stone and officer
Gould, who testified that the defendants
were seen to accost several people and
get money from them. They were SEN
fenced to the house of correction for 40
days.
The drunks were: Thomas Connelley.
continued until March IA; Luke
OGrady house of correction for four
months; John J. Finnigan, $40, appealed;
John Hurley, $40; Frank Gasso, filed
| John Kelly, state farm, six months.

provides for great secrecy surrounding
the execution. New York has adopted
electricity as the means Of death, and
has provided for its use at the three
state prisons. Indiana retains hang
ing, but has removed it to one state
prison. Gov, Atkinson Of Virginia, in
a personal note, says that he Is strong
ly in favor Of that change, The gov
ernor Of Minnesota has recommended
in his address to the legislature, that
this change be made. Beyond this the
states very commonly have close re-
strictions as to the attendance at exc
cutions which do not exist in the Mas
sachusetts law.
Mr.. Parsons explained to the commit
tee that his own interest in the proposed
legislation arose from his personal OBJ
servations of the effect Of the O'Neil
execution at Greenfield upon that COM
munity. which were demorali2ing.
The bill provided, Mr.. Parsons ex-
planned, that all executions after the
first of next January shall take place
at the state prison under the charge of
the warden. When a sentence is made
week is named by the court within
which the sentence shall be executed. On
such day as the warden may choose,
the convict is to be executed between the
hours of midnight and sunrise. There
shall be present only the officers two
physicians or surgeons, the sheriff of
the county in which the sentence was
made, and at the request Of the con-
demned, a priest or minister of religion
and not more than three other persons.
There shall be no previous announce
ment except to the persons to be pres
ent. 1t also provides that a building
adjoining the state prison shall be pro-
vided for the condemned's confinement
and execution. In these particulars the
Massachusetts, law is made to conform
to that Of certain other states. A
section of the bill copies the New York
law in providing for death by electrici-
ty. Mr.. Parsons explained that this pro-
vision was distinct and separate from
the rest of the bill, and If the committee
did not see fit to adopt electrocution,
that this section could be dropped out
without affecting its other provisions.
He was convinced himself that the time
had come for Massachusetts to adopt
this method.
Representative Parsons presented to
the committee H. d. Ward of the prison
commissioners, in support of the recon-
mendation Of the prison commission in
favor of this bill.
Sheriff O'Brien of Suffolk county
spoke for himself and the sheriffs of the
state who are in its favor on public
grounds.
Gen. B. F. Bridges, Jr., warden of the
state prison, expressed his unqualified
approval of the bill and endorsed the
section providing for electrocution.
General Superintendent of Prisons
Pettigrove, and ]. w. Bailey, clerk of
the prison commission, favored the bill.

Mr.. Hall Of Willamstown made an
attack on the bill TO regulate the sale
OF posons, declaring that it was unnec-
essary and uncalled for legislation. He
neld that the object of the bill was to
draw the line ON certain common poisons
from the general dealer to the druggist
and pharmacist. Mr.. Hall moved an
amendment, eXempting laudanum, paris
green, rough on rats and carbolic acid
from the provisions of the law.
Mr.. Bullock cf New Bedford and Mr.
Calender of New Bedford explained
that the bill was intended to put all
dealers In poisons on the same footing
as the pharmacist, who was obliged to
register all sales of poisons. 1t was
simply an extension of the present law
relative to the sale OF poisons, to all
dealers in the same.
The amendment was defeated-25 to
6l. Mr.. Hall Immediately raised the
point of no quorum. The count gave
TWO members short, but. these were
quickly summoned, a motion to approve
having been defeated The amendment
was then defeated and the bill passed to
be engrossed without division
