POOR AT EIaHTY-TWo.

Minister Noted for Debt Raising Sees
His Goods Sold.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ia little old
man wearing a snow white beard,
dressed in black and wearing high
silk hat was seated on an old fashioned
trunk in an auctioneer's place in Sec
ond street yesterday. The man was
eighty-two years old. Beside him was
his wife, about thirty-iye years his
junior. They listened sadly while the
auctioneer called for bids upon their
household goods.
The man was the Rev. DR.. AlonZo
Church Morehouse, for years pastor of
the Second Street Methodist church.
Two years ago he was retired. The
goods that were sold had been stored.
There was $56 due for storage, and
when the minister realized that he
could not pay the bill he concluded to
have the goods put up at auction.
They brought just $40.
1T may seem strange" said the old
minister, "but let me tell you that Il
have burned eleven mortgages in my
time. I have built ever so many
churches, and as collector of money
for churches | was always considered
hustler Maybe that accounts for
the fact that have nothing now. But
we won't starve. God is good to us"

An Esteemed Contemporary of Republican Faith Calls Him
Mcreant-Our George is Not as Bad as That We Hope
But Let Us See Who is This George L. Liley.

The time is now at hand when the
people of Waterbury will be called
upon to decide whether they prefer to
continue in power men whose past rec
ords prove beyond a doubt that they
are the agents Of trusts and monopo-
lies, or elect public officials who will
respect the rights of all the people of
this town and throughout the entire
state, no matter whether they are rich
or poor. The electors Of Waterbury
feel that It is about time that they
opened their eyes to the necessity OF
sending men to Hartford and Wash
ington who will not forget the people
who honored them by their positions
when they get into the companionship
Of the favored few and their agents in
the gilded halls where the fate of mil

PRISONERS FRIGHTENED. =.
Fire in Workshop Of the Fairfield
County Jail.

Bridgeport, Nov Fire broke out
last night in the workshop in the rear
of the old Fairfield county jail. The
smoke soon filed the corridors and
the prisoners confined in the, second
story shrieked in fear. The jailer went
among them and told them there was
no danger, but the volume of smoke
Increased and they redoubled their
cries. Finally they were taken from
their cells and marched to the new
building nearby.
The blaze was confined to the lower
3oor after hard work. The loss to the
building is about $500 and on the stock
IN the workshop about $4,000. The
prisoners were marched back to the
jail at midnight.

Chicago, Nov LA 1O-year-old boy,
celebrating Halloween with pea gun,
has caused a collision between an
electric car and a patrol wagon in
which nine persons were more or less
seriously injured.

crashed into the Larrabee station pa
troll wagon, that was conveying two

MOLINEUx'S WIFE.
Attorney Osborne is Bound to
Drag Her in.
ENGAGEMENT RING TESTIMONY
The Accused Told Osborne He Was
Willing to Tell About It-Molineux
Was In Good Humor To-Day and
Did Not Seem to Mind the District
Attorneys Bantering.

winch was resumed at the opening o.
court TO-DAY, was nnished WlInin a IeW
minutes aIuer its resumption. Mr Us
borne's nrst question Io-aay was: Did
not Mr. barnet pay your wife atten-
tion?''
Not at ALL" was the reply.
Did you not SO testify at the IN,
quest?'
Molineux's reply to this was that
Barnet had paid attention TO Miss
Cheseborough in the spring and au-
tumn of 1898 before she became Mrs
NIoIineux
The defendant was in the best of
humor. When Mr. Osborne asked him
if he gave his wife an engagement ring
1t the time of his engagement, and his
answer was not to the prosecutor s
satisfaction, he said smilingly: Il can
tell you better than you can drag 1t
out of me-"
81 don't wish to drag it out of you," "
said Mr. Osborne. - f5-4 ..
Molineux then said he bought an
engagement ring on November 18. 1898.
Yesterday he testified that he and Miss
Chesebrough became engaged in Sep
tember, 1898.
At Christmas, 1897, he gave her a
''mizpah' ring, and when he became
engaged in September, 1898, he wished
to buy her an engagement ring, but
did not do so until November.
A letter to Miss Sadie Shelter, in
which Molineux spoke of his engage
ment and forthcoming marriage as a
romance" and said also that it was
sudden, was then identified and adj
mitted in evidence.
Mr. Osborne closed his cross-examina-
ton of Molineux very abruptly, after
he had asked several questions of him
as to his connection with several medi-
cal associations. Molineux was con-
graduated as he left the witness stand.
Governor Black called Max Compile,
handwriting expert, as the next wit
ness. He was a witness on the Rice
will contest and several other big cases.
He declared that the conceded and dis
puted writings were not written by the
same hand. He believed the address
on the poison package was written in
the natural hand and was not dis
guised. The cause of the cramping of
the letters happened by reason of the
address having been written after the
package was done up.
On cross examination Mr. Compile
admitted that there were many re-
semblances in the writing on the pois-
oned package and that admitted by
Molineux
DR. David Ewe11 was the next wit
ness. He claimed that the disputed
and conceded writings were not writ
ten by the same hand. At this point
Justice Lambert adjourned court until
Wednesday.

Powders, lotions salves, sprays and
inhalcrs cannot really cure Catarrh,
because this disease Is n blood dis
ease, and local applications, If they
accomplish anything, at all, simply
give transient relief
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat ana trachea tries to relieve the
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous, the discharge sometimes
closing up the nostrils, dropping into
the throat, causing deafness by clos
ing the Eustachian tubes, and after
time causing catarrh of stomach or
serious throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must he an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal
poison and remove the fever and con-
jestlon from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien-
'ih'tbs hhpN ~ lN Btpi, 'tNNih-
col, Sanguinnria and Hydrastin, and
while each of these have been sue
cessfully used separately, yet II has
been difficult TO get them all combined
in one palatabc convenient and ctii-
cient form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stunrt's Catnrrh Tablets,
have succeeded admirably in accom-
plishing this result. They are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dis
solved in the mouth, thus reaching
every part of the mucous membrane
| Of the throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuarts Catarh Tablets contain no
cocaine, opatc or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults.
