THE CONTEST FOR MAJOR.
Of the Second Regfment-The Election
 To-day.


 Of the Second Regiment-The Election To-day.
 l The meeting of the line officers of the Second regiment for the purpose of electing a junior major to fill the va cancy made by the resignation of Lieu- tenant Colonel Arthur M. Dickinson of Waterbury, will be held in the armory in this city this afternoon at o'clock. The contesants for the position are Captain McCabe of the Grays and Cap- tain Donovan of the Sarstields, both companies located in this city. Both men are capable officers and the con test will not be decided on their pro- ficiency, but rather on the personal popularity of the captains. The Wa terbury American says of the situation;
 The three commissioned officers in each company are entitled to vote, making a total of thirty votes among the ten companies of the regiment To these are added the two majors, the colonel and lieutenant colonel, making a total of thirtyYfour votes.
 The absence fof Major Geddes and Captain Tillson will, however, reduce the number of votes to thirty-two, and as sixteen is necessary for choice the men have been hustling to get the requisite number to elect them.
 Captain McCabe. being the senior captain, should according to military friends are using this argument in his favor.
 The friends of Captain Donovan. on the other hand, claim that before Ma jor Geddes was elected Captain Me Cabe did not recognize this rule, and despite the efforts brought to bear upon him to withdraw, refused to do So and remained upon the field and was de- feated by Major Geddes.
 For this reason, it is alleged the Waterbury officers will vote solidly for Donovan Add to this the vote of Don ovan's company and he is assured of nine votes.
 Captain Bradley of Company I, Mer- iden, is expected to vote for MeCabe, on account of the part Donovan took in the Bradley eourt-martial. The Meriden company's vote is expected to DS SpiIt, iONSNcI, anu tNo dle ptll5 counted in Donovan's favor. Accord ing to this, Donovan is sure of eleven votes. Whether he can get the extra five votes is a matter which is causing speculation. Military men differ in re- gard to the outcome and the only thing to do Is to await the returns.
 The preliminaries leading up to the election have been full of personalities,
 It is alleged that Captain Donovan has brought politics into the scheme, and the counter charge is brought that Captain McCabe has offered positions, both military and civil, to officers of the regiment on condition that they vote for him.
 Much interest is manifested in the matter in this city and the returns from New Haven will be awaited with considerable interest
 The officers from this city who will vote are Captain Fitzpatrick and Lieu tenants Halpin and Hallinan of Com- pany c and Captain Carter and Lieu tenants Sandland and Sackett of Com pany A.

VERDICT FOR ANTHONY CARROLL
 Justice John R. Booth yesterday gave a decision awarding a verdict of $2S and costs to Anthony Carroll in his suit against George Bohn of the Third ward. MT. Carroll sued to compel MT. Bohn to pay his share of the expenses incurred in the last city election. MT. Born was q candidate for councilman on the Third ward citizens ticket, headed by MT. Carroll. The expenses incurred by the candidates amounted to $S5. After the election MT. Bohn refused to pay bis share on the ground that he was not candidate. He claimed that he had withdrawn from the citizens ticket and that his name was used against his wish.
 Later he gave as another reason for not paying that MT Carroll had broken an agreement with him. He asserted that MT. Carrolls breach of faith con- sisted in not keeping his promise to sup port the democratic town ticket. As part of his defense the defendant all legged that the agreement about sharing expenses was made on Sunday and therefore was void.
 The case was tried Tuesday before Justice Booth. The firm of Fitzgerald & Walsh appeared for MT. Carroll and Edmund Zacher appeared for the de- fendant.
 Attorney Zacher announced that his clinet will appeal the case to the next term of the court of common pleas.

Amendment to Treaty.
HEAVILY FINED.
Witnesses Said Kate Ruczyuski Used
a Cat-o'-Nine Tails on Her Child.

In City Court yesterday Katie Ruczy-
uski was charged with assaulting her
two small children in a brutal manner.
The children are six and two years of
age. The case was prosecuted by Will
lard Hall Porter of the Society for the
prevention OF Cruelty to Children.
Agent Stout testified that he received a
complaint and went to No. 232 Mary
land avenue. On November 20 it was
charged that the little girl had been
abused. He Investigated the case and
learned that she had whipped the child
with cat-o'-nine tails and knocked her
down in the yard with a rake.
One week later he saw the child but
there were no marks on the child's body.
The defendant denied that she had
cruelty beat the children. Mrs. Annie
Streets testified that she saw the de
fendant with the cat-o-nine tails beating
the child. She then picked up a rake
and struck h + with such force that the
little one was thrown against the fence.
The blows from the "cat" went around
the child's head and face. She has seen
the woman beat the child on former oc-
casons. Mrs. Lydia Arant lives next
door to the defendant and has heard the
child scream on several occasions. On
the day in question the child's face was
covered with blood. Alice Arant said
she saw the woman whip the child with
the rake. She has seen her beat the
child on former occasions with the
'cat." Mrs. Laura Cottingham gave
similar testimony She alleged she had
seen the woman kick the child. Wit
nesses testified they did not see the
child abused but have seen her chastised
in a motherly way. The defendant de-
MED that she struck the child with a
rake. The reason she keeps cat-o'-nine
tails is to scare the children and not
to punish them. The court imposed a
fine of $50 and costs.

MONEY SHOWERS ON HIM.
The Fortunes of Ex-Congressman
"Jack" Robinson of Media.

Just over the State line, north, resides
United States Marshal John B. Robin
son. For two decades he has been a
conspicuous factor in the life of Della
ware county, and politically lucky
scarcely ever out of public Office. Mr..
Robinson has besides been fortunate
financially, dollars and cents seeming to
chase him up for the spending. At the
present time Mr.. Robinson is defending
the last will and testament of his mother,
who recently bequeathed him an estate
of half million dollars.
The plaintiffs in this suit are the
children of a deceased brother of Mr..
Robinson, the allegation being that un-
due influence was used with the mother,
who for years has made her home with
the favored son. During the trial of this
case the other day, Marshal Robinson is
quoted with having made peculiar re-
mark, as follows:
My mother was never without
money from her girlhood up, and l am
pretty much the same way. 1t seems
to me that when my money runs out the
Lord blesses me by having a rich rela-
tive die and leave me more"
