THE CENSUS OF ST.
 THOMAS'S PARISH

The census returns for St Thomas's parish for the past year which was completed week ago does not show any material increase over last years figures. The total is 2, 150, an increase of about 80. This indicates a condi- ton of affairs that Is quite puzling, for the increase in school attendance goes on and has been so since the par ish school was opened two years ago, realizing every expectation and accom- modation made for it. The lack of building and improvement in real es- tate in that section of the city, may to some extent explain for it, for while there has been some development in that respect in the northeastern part of the city during the past year or two there has been very little, if any at all in the northern part, and especially
 within the lines of St Thomas's parish. Still a great deal of real estate has changed hands in that section of the city in the last year, but people seem
 unable or afraid to build No doubt the high price of building material and
 labor is responsible to a great extent.

STRIKE LED TO DEATH.

Freight HandIers' Strike Breaker
 Cruelty Murdered.
 NEW YORK, May 3O-The freight handlers strike has led to the murder of one man and the infiction of se- were beating of another in Jersey City. The victims were Poles and nonunion men, who were employed at pier IS, North river, and were on their way to their homes in Jersey City when at tackled. The murdered man was Dom- mick Sokotoski, twenty eight years of age, of Jersey City. His skull was crushed in by blow with an iron bar. The injured man is Peter Hoenizk, twenty-four years of age, of Jersey City. He was attacked with a cotton hook and knocked down, kicked and jumped on.
 The two men had been trailed from New York. They were proceeding along Pavonia avenue and had reached Kelso street, dark spot, where the Erie rail- way tracks cross the street in Jersey City, when they were set upon by sev- eral men. Others ran to the aid of the victims, and the assailants dispers- ed just as Policeman McNamara ap- peared. The injured men were assist ed to trolley car and removed to St. Francis hospital, where Sokotoski died an hour later.
 The police have in custody Edward Griffin, stalwart Irishman, thirty five years old, of 43S Grove street, Jer- sey City, who is held for the murder.
 August Lohse, an editor of the Staats Zeftung, who lives in Jersey City heights, was a passenger on trolley car that was delayed at the railroad crossing. He witnessed the assault and followed Griffin, who, he declares, struck the blow. Griffin Jumped on a truck to escape, but sprang from the truck and ran Lohse kept him in sight till McNamara caught him. George Buddy, truck driver, also identified Griffin. He, too, saw the fatal blow struck. Griffin, who denies having been implicated, admits that he is freight handler.
 A Fall River (Mass.) dispatch says there are no new developments there in connection with the strike in the marine department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company The strike will take new turn soon, the leaders claim, but they decline to say what developments may be expected.
 The freight steamer City of Brock ton sailed for New York last night with full cargo of freight.

POET TOM MOORE'S ] ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED

The Gaelic society observed the 125th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Moore last evening at the Par sons theater, Rev Walter J. Shanley, honorary president of the society, oc- cupying the chair and making the in- troductory address. says the Hartford Courant. He said he deemed it a great honor to take part in the first public demonstration of the Gaelic league in Hartford, and commended the work Of the league in promoting the study of Irish history, language and literature. England had done all in her power to suppress the Irish Ian- guage, and, at the time of Moore's birth, Ireland was sadly oppressed. Moore was patriot and loyal Ro- man Catholic. While there might be differences of opinion as to Moore's place as poet. there could be none as to the influence of his Irish melodies. The subject of these melodies covered nearly everything In Irish history, but these lyrics were not merely political or historical; they also depicted scenic beauty. Save the psalms of David and the chants of the church no lyrics had had the circulation of Moore's Irish melodies. Moore lived and died B Roman Catholic. He married a Protestant who gave him a Protestant burial and gave rise to the idea that he died a Protestant.

THAT SINGLE VOTE.

The three members of the state com- mittee whose names have been used most freely in connection with the single vote which elected MT Kenealy are Senator Tracy of Waterbury; John c. Coe of Meriden, and Representative George Lilley of Waterbury, says Trumbull in his weekly letter in the New York Herald. The former prompt ly declared that he had voted for Gates. which disposed of the matter for all time among those who know the man. While all may not agree with him in his view of the political program to be adopted, there is yet to be found the man who is willing to sign his name to the statement that his word is not as good as his bond. This has narrowed the choice down to Mir Coe and MT Lilley, neither of whom seems disposed to talk effusive- ly about it i. It is accepted that MT Coe cast a vote for the new chair man, and MT Lilley's refusal to say If he did warrants the conclusion that he also voted for MT Kenealy. At least thatis the belief of the Gates men. But whatever each did. the only thing of interest in the connection is it's refer ence to their attitude toward the old guard, which has reformed for the senatorial fight ahead.

BIG WATERsIpE FIRE.

Jersey City Piers of the D., l.. and w.
 Destroyed Last Night.
 NEW YORK, May 30.-Seven freight and coal piers of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western railroad in Jer- sey City were destroyed by fire that started last night at pier 12, on which number of barrels of oil were stored. The flames spread rapidly. Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon ablaze its entire length, and the f1remen who were trying to fight the fire from the shore were able to accomplish but lit tie.
 The flames swept across to pier il and beyond, being finally checked at pier 5, which is new coal trestle, steel framed and ironclad. Here the fire men and the fireboats made desperate stand and stayed the advance of the fire until the burning piers crumbled and fell into the water.
 Although there was but little wind, sparks fell all along the water front for the better part of a mile, endan- gering the Lackawanna depot and even the Hamburg-American and Bremen line piers, where the flremen were kept busy playing streams of water upon the buildings and over the ships at their docks.
 The building of the Hoboken Coke company, five blocks from the main fire, was set ablaze by burning brands, but the firemen responded quickly, and the building was only slightly dam aged.
 A number of canalboats and several tugs were burned. the loss of small boats being variously estimated at from 30 to 200. The number of freight cars burned Is not known, but on this class of rolling stock and on coal cars the loss waH be heavy.
 During the fire the Lackawanna mov- ed its passenger coaches from its yards out to the meadows, and one train of dozen box cars was hauled out of burning pier and saved.
 Piers II and 12 were full of general merchandise, piers z, 8, 9 and 10 were used for coal, and pier 6 was a grain loading pier. The loss is estimated at S1,OOo,OOO.

THIS NEGRO HELD.
Charged With Assault on Two Women
 in Central Park.

New York, May 3O.-Owing to the exciting experience of Frances and Margaret Brandaley the two young girls who charge a negro youth with having attacked them, it is no longer considered safe for women without es- corts to stroll along the more unfre- quented portions of Central park. In the secluded grounds above the lake and the wooded sections In the north ern part of the park there was a no ticeable absence of women promenad- CTS yesterday.
 Residents in the neighborhood of the city's greatest pleasure ground com plain of inadequate police protection within it's confines. This they ascribe to the limited numbers of policemen and the fact that the beats of the park police are so extended being four times longer than those of the men who patrol the city's streets.
 Innumerable doubtfuI looking tramps and bench loungers have been frequenting the park since the warm weather set in and their presence in such numbers is not calculated to re- assure the women and children who have been accustomed to spend their afternoons in the park
 Charles Green, the colored boy, who was accused by the two girls, was ar raigned in the Yorkville police court yesterday. On charge of assault. preferred by Frarces Brandaley, the younger of the two sisters, who live at No 325 East Twenty third street. he was held in $500 bail for trial
 Green was nervous and frightened in court. The sisters told the magistrate that Green had grabbed Margaret by the arm and then struck Frances when the latter tried to free her sister. The young negro denied striking either of the girls. He said they were joking and chaffing each other as they pass ed him and he joined in with testing observation. One of them struck him. he said, and he ran off with a crowd at his heels.

RAZORS IN THE AIR.
Workers on the Cheshire Trolley
 Line Have 8 Lively Time.

Antonio Bombay and Mazaferro Sal vatore had a dispute with Cremend Guiseppi and Scali Guiseppi yesterday and as a result of this dispute they are now in the Waterbury hospital, nurs- ing painful wounds. The wounds were inflicted with 8 razor.
 The four men have been employed by Fred T. Ley, who has the contract for the work on the extension to the trolley tracks to Cheshire. They live in camps about four miles from Wa terbury. Yesterday the four men. went out for a walk had incidentally brought some liquors and had several drinks. On the way home dispute arose in re- gard to the person who should pay for the drinks The men were feeling rather gay at this time and the argu- ment became rather warm. Words grew potter and hotter and blows be- gan to fall. Then it was the Crementt and Scah Giuseppe showed how they could use raZors and how they could slash with them. Antonio Bomba's s face was slashed from the temple to the chin while Salvatore's head was badly wounded. When they had in- ished their carving Crementi and Sal- vatore sought flight in the woods. They may D0 ruHHlHS yet. 1H0 WOuuueu men hastened back to camp where they remained until Lunny's ambu- lance arrived and brought them to Wa terbury hospital where their wounds were dressed by Dr Crane
 When the news of the slashing reached the camp, the headquarters of the Italians, hunting party was formed and the woods were searched by number of men, but no trace of the fugitives were found.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Connecticut Delegation Arranges for
 Trip to St. Louis.

The committee of arrangements of Connecticut's delegation to the na- tional democratic convention to be held in St Louis. July 6, has perfected plans for the tour. District Delegate Louis A. Fisk of Branford is the chairman of the committee.
 It has been decided to take the New York Central route to St Louis, and to have two, special cars attached to the CentraPs fast train known as "The Southwestern Limited.'' They will leave New Haven on Sunday, July 8, at p. m. Most of the delegates will reach New Haven Saturday night. St Louis will be reached at 6:45 p. m. Monday, and the delegates will stop at the Hotel Jefferson while in St Louis. How long the delegates shall stay in St Louis depends entirely on their personal desires and each will come home at such time as he sees fit. Several of them propose to remain af- ter the close of the national convention to visit the exposition.
 All but one of the delegates will go out Sunday, July 8. The exception is County Delegate James D. McCabe of Cheshire. MT McCabe is the only Hearst man in the party, but he is un- der instructions to vote for Judge Par ker. MT McCabe goes ahead of the main party, nearly fortnight, for the reason that he is a delegate to another convention which meets prior to the democratic one. There are fourteen delegates, and an equal number of al- ternates, all of whom, 1t is expected, will go on the trip. There will also be room for several prominent party men, who have been invited to accom- pany the delegation. Owing to room on the cars being thus taken the Rhode Island delegation will not join the Connecticut party, as heretofore proposed.

IN THE FARM KITCHEN.
There Was Much Comfort and Genu- < inc Enjoyment in the Old- i Fashioned Room.

The shallowness of much of the cur rent criticism of country life is illustrat- ed by the recent slur of Boston cler- gyman who suggested that New Eng land social life of the farming districts is declining and often centers in the kitchen instead of the parlors. That was true enough at one time, says the Boston Budget, and delightful old kitch- ems were those of a generation ago, with their ample fires, comfortable chairs, good company and plenty aof popcorn, nuts, cider and apples for long winter evening. Many a afrugal family with a nice bank account found the kitchen plenty good enough for ordinary occa- sions, and many of the country's best citizens recall bow they studied their lessons by the kitchen fire, passed cheer full evenings in wholesome enjoyment.
 Some of them like to stay there yet. They may have good parlors, too. But if they had no better place to stay, 1t would surely be better to live among plain surroundings all ones own, than to reside in hired city flat, cramped into little rooms, full of furniture paid for on the installment plan or not at all. Yet 1t is not so much where people live as who they are. Wholesome, delightful home life, such as builds up a nations strength and happiness. may center about plain farm residence, while a millionaire's palace may give out an odor of moral and social corruption.
 The nation needs more of the old fashioned homes and the families of the old-fashioned kind to i'll them, and it will do them no harm to stay in the kitchen If they choose, until the parIor and sitting-room can be furnished to their liking
