EX-PRIEST IN TROUBLE.
Wedding Ceremonies Which Are Being
 Investigated.

Investigated.
 A complaint has been made to County Health Officer Hoadley of this city that the Polish priest of Waterbury, who g. couple of months ago was excommuni- cated by the bishop for some difficulty with the church, has since performed the marriage ceremony in two separate instances in that city. There is a ques- ton as to the legality of the marriages as it is uncertain what power an ex- communicated priest has according to the law. The case will be investigated.
 Mir. Hoadley is also looking into a complaint made against one of the clergymen of Branford, who, it is al- legged, on February 22, married a couple without license. The couple now can- not understand their status under the law. The clergyman states that he did not know that a license was needed, none being required in New Jersey, where he came from. One of the parties is minor and as such cannot be mar ried without the consent of the parents. The couple applied for a. license asking the town clerk to date it back to the time when the first ceremony was per- formed.

GEORGE D. HEBRON ON SOCIAL
 ISM.

Last evening George D. Heron, of New York; spoke on the subject of so- cialism in Warner hall. The hall was packed with an earnest, interested throng.
 Mr. Heron gave an extremely clear and lucid outline of the principles of socialism. Many incidents illustrative of these principles were given. The terrible situation in the Nile Delta was spoken of--a situation where thousands of children from five to seven years of age are employed at six cents a day. and who work twenty hours a day. MT. Heron stated that the only way equal ity and freedom could be procured was through equal ownership, and through the ownership by the laborer of the whole produce of his labor. He maln- tained that the whole social system should be radically changed.
 The opening of the meeting was de- layed an hour, until the requisite for holding it could be obtained.
