MRS. O'GONAELL'S WOES.
Asks for Alimony Pending
Her Suit Against Her
Husband.

Mrs. Annie O'Connel, of First and
Grove streets. this morning. in Chancery
Chambers, through her counsel, asked
Chancellor McGill for counsel fee and ali
mony pending suit for divorce which
she has brought against her husband on
the ground of cruelty and desertion.
The parties were married in this city,
in December, 1894. Three months after
the wedding, so Mrs. O'Connell alleges,
her husband became addicted to drink,
and for days at time would be intoxi-
Gated. during which spells he would call
her vile names and accuse her Of inf1del-

NOT FROM A. CONVENT.
Bridgeport Victim Was Not Be
friended by Father Slocum.

WATERBURY, Conn, Sept 10, 1885,
Inquiry made today in connection with
the latest phase Of the Bridgeport murder
mystery paves the way for the conclusion
that the girl who was afforded shelter
in the Home for Associated Charities of
Bridgeport by Matron Bibbins, and who
has been considered as possibly the VIC
tim in the mysterious tragedy, was in
error when she connected herself with
the Rev. Father w. J. Slocuin of Water
bury According to the statements of
those connected with the home in Bridge
port, the girl stated that she had been
sent to New York convent from South
Norwalk and that Father Slocum. then
in that city. was instrumental in placing
her in the convent.
Father Slocum when seen today, said
that so far as he can remember, while he
was in South Norwalk, but one girl was
sent to a New York convent from that
city. He added that the Rev. J. H.
O'Donnell, his then assistant, now of
WATERFOWL, had that girl in charge.
Moreover, the girl who was placed in
the convent has since married and has
been member of the Notre Dame con-
gregation in Waterbury. Father Slocum
further annihiates the theory that the
former South Norwalk girl may have been
the Bridgeport victim by stating that he
has heard from her within three days.

SHOT BY BURGLARS.
Station Master in New Hampshire
Seriously Wounded.

DOVER N H., Sept. 10. 1s9S.-Frank
Bemis, station agent at Madoury, a small
place on the Western Division of the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad, just south of this
city, was shot by burglars early this
morning and badly wounded in an arm.
Bemis resides a short distance from the
station. About 1880 this morning a bur-
glar alarm in his room, which is connect
ed by wire with the station, awakened.
Mr.. Bemis dressed himself and called
Ephrfham Levekin, Charles Woodus and
Ivory Kelly, neighbors. AS they neared
the station some one fired shot which
struck Mr. Bemis in the left arm badly
lacerating it from the elbow to the wrist.
Three men were seen running from the
station up the highway. One of the men
with Bemis discharged a rifle and one
of the others fired two shots from re-
volver at the fleeing men. The burglars
did not fire any more than the one shot
and had no trouble in effectng their es-
cape.
1t was found that the burglars had en-
tered the station house through a window
and had drilled the safe preparatory to
inserting charge of dynamite. No prop
erty is missing

MERCHANTS HIT BACK.
Lively Suit Between Grocer
and the Weights Inspector
--Counter Charges of
Persecution.

The complaint of Inspector OF seals,
Weights and Measures A. E. Roede
against j. H. Lemmerman a grocer OF
Bergen avenue for refusing to exhibit
his scales and weights when the Inspector
called to examine them last week, was
to have been heard in the Second Criminal
Court this morning. but was laid over
again until Wednesday.
There was large delegation Of the
Merchants Protective Association and
some Of the members of the Hudson City
Business Mems Association on hand to
watch closely the proceedings Joseph
Anderson. counsel for the Merchants Pro-
norman. The latter did not make his
appearance.
City Attorney John w. Queen. who drew
up the complaint, was on hand to repre-
sent the city.
Mr. Anderson claimed that the COM
plaint was defective in that it did not
set forth that Lemmerman had certain
weights in his possession which were not
conformable to the standard of weights
and measures adopted in this State, that
the same were found in his possession,
and that he refused to exhibit them. Mr..
Anderson further intimated that the mat
ter was one of persecution on the part
of the Inspector, who was, according to
newspaper report about to bring civil
suit against ex-President William G..
Meyer, of the Merchants Protective As
soeiation, and wanted this case pushed
against Lemmerman in an effort to secure
testimony for his suit
Itsappears that the remarks made by
Mr.. Meyer at a recent meeting of the
Merchants Protective Association and
upon which the Inspector bases his suit,
were concerning a transaction between
the Inspector and Mr. Lemmerman. The
merchants allege that athe Inspector is
prosecuting certain members of their as
sociation and are apparently anxious for
the fight between the Inspector and Mr..
Lemmerman to proceed. They appear to
have something up their sleeves for the
Inspector.
Police Justice Potts decided this morn
ing that the complaint drawn up at the
instance of the Inspector by City Ator-
ney Queen, was not defective. All that
would be necessary. he said was for the
Inspector to prove the existence of the
ordinance which the Inspector claims
Zimmerman violated, and that Lemmer-
man actually violated the section which
prescribes that a merchant shall exhibit
his seals, weights and measures for in
spection on demand of the Inspector.
The old ordinance under which the city
is at present operating declared that the
Inspector shall examine all weights and
measures used by merchants 'tat least
once a year" Zimmerman refused 60
exhibit his weights when the Inspector
called few days ago.. because he said
that the Inspector had already examined
his weights this year.
Mr.. Anderson, Lemmerman's counsel,
said he was so sure the Court would de-
eide that the complaint drawn UP by Mr..
queen was defective, that he told his
client that it was not necessary for him
to appear in court this morning. He asked
for more time, and the case was put over
until Wednesday.

MAY BE A NEW HAVEN GIRL

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 10, 1888
The forenoon developments in the yellow
Mill Pond murder mystery were of the
most meagre character, Judging from the
attitude of the various detectives and po-
lice officials, who established this morn
ing a system of cautious secretivenesss
which instantly became prohibitive in the
matter of information from these official
sources.
The sensational phases of the mystery
which have found their way to the pub
lie view within the last seyenty-twp
hours, have rendered the situation alto-
gether chaotic and Official statements
remarkable for their paucity render log
zeal the conclusion that the mystery has
taken on aspects which promise poorly
for it's solution now or at any time.
The remains of the victim, now fright
fully distorted from the effects of much
exposure and the embalming fluid are
still above ground, and this morning the
plans for an early interment at the poor
farm, Notwithstanding the burial process
was held up by order of Medical Ex-
aminer Downs. who has not yet reached
a decision as TO the wisdom of permit
ting the burial of the head with the. Other
dismembered portions of the corpse.
Today witnesses d police activity which
may be said to be increased over that
heretofore exercised. Detectives Arnold
and Cronan put in an unusually early
disappearance and their whereabouts are
rigidly concealed. Much excitement was
caused during the morning hours by the
departure from his uniforms custom OF
Superintendent of Police Birmingham, in
leaving his office for quarters unknown
Those, in charge at police headquarters
negatively admitted the Importance of the
Superintendent's absence. However, the
only tangible piece of information thus
far obtainable today causes New Haven
10 once more loom up as highly i'm
portant centre Of activity in connection
with the tragedy.
1t has been discovered that excessive
communication has been had within the
past few hours between the Bridgeport
authorities and Detective Captain Cowles
of New Haven. Word comes from that
city that detective activity is marked to-
day, and the neagre developments of the
morning all point to the probability that
serious work is being done on some clue
which may have been discovered, and
which makes New Haven an interesting
field lust now
