Fined For Protecting Sell.

Counecticut's "blue laws" make ii a
crime to shoot a snake on Sunday, and
they also make it crime to sell or buy
the recognized antidote for snake bits.
Walking over his fathers farm, on
the outskirts of Danbury, last Sunday
in search of lost COW, Peter Zarcone,
Is years old, took his shotgun with him
Tor protection against snakes. Attacked
by an adder while he was passing through
a swamp, Zarcome shot and killed the
reptile. The report of his gun reached
the ears of policemen sent out by game
wsrdens to watch for poachers, and they
arrested the young farmer.
When Zsrcone was srraigned before
Justice Howard B. Scott yesterday morn
ing he was fined $40 and costs. The
Judge said he had no doubt from the
nature of the evidence before him that
the prisoner had used bis gun only to
protect himself against the snake, but
the laws of the State made it crime
even to carry gun in the open air ON
Sunday, and consequently he had no
discretion under the law and was obliged
to punish him for carrying his weapon
across the farm.
The Judge srraigned the law severely
and suggested that it be brought to the
attention Of the General Assembly for
amendment or repeal. Zarcone will
carry the cast to the Court of Common
pleas

The Hamburg American liner Prinz
Adslbert, which will arrive today in New

Bank, of Chicago, who was captured in
Tangier, Morocco. charged with the en-
bezzlement of more than 81, 900, 900.
Waiting for him in New York will be
his son, Theodore Stensland, and Assist
ant States Attorney Olsen, of Chicago
waiting, but not together. Young Stems
land wants to get hold OF his father in
order to prevent him from going to Chi.
cago voluntarily aud to fight the extra
diiion proceedings Olsen's object is TO
rush the prisoner of to Chicago as
quickly as possible.
Detective Kinder, who accompanies
Olsen, has extrsditioD papers from Gov
ernor stokes, of New Jersey, and per-
mission to rush Stensland Immediately
to Chicago. 1t is said that yacht may
meet the Prinz Adelbert at Quarantine
and take the prisoner ABOARD and hurry
him to Chicago train.
This Stensland's son will try to pre-
vent. He believes, he says, that bis
father is innocent and canno! get fail
trial in Cook county.
Governor Higgins was asked yesterday
if he had agreed upon the application ol
the Illinois authorities to issue his war
rant for the return TO Chicago of Pau
Stensland. Governor Higgins said tha,
the warrant had not yet been issued be
cause it was not certain whether Stems
land would land in New York or in New
Jersey. If he lands in New York the
Governor declared that be wonld issue
the warrant so that Siensland could be

Dead Woman and Starved ChIId.

Dead woman ana stafffd Shi"'
A policeman who had been summoned
by frightened woman broke in the door
of tiny three room apartment on the
third fioor of the house at 1904 Third ave-
nue., Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon. A hor.
rible sight confronted him. Stretched
upon the floor OF the little kitchen was
the decomposing body Of an elderly wom-
an. At her side lay baby boy, or
rather living skeleton of baby boy,
too weak to move bis clawlike little
hands, but still able to cry out his
misery in feeble thread of pitiable
sound.
The woman had been dead for days,
possibly for mere than five days. The
child, less than IA months old, had liter
ally polished the low-lying shelves of the
open cupboard in his efforts to find food.
The survivor of this grewsome tragedy
of a locked-in fat was hurried TO the Nor
wegian Hospital. He was made OF
sturdy stuff, for, despite thirst and star
walton, he is mendipg, and the surgeons
say be will live Probably no boy of his
age ever passed through more aud en-
dured it.
The dead woman on the kitchen floor
was MIS-. Catherine Dinan, hard
working widow, approaching her siItieth
birthday. Since her husbands death she
had lived alone in the little back rooms
of the house on Third avenue until a
few months ago, when she adopted John
out of the Guardian Angels Home, in
Bay Ridge. She always said she meant
to bring the youngster up for the priest
hood, and to him she gave all the
mother love and care that she could
have given any child Other own flesh and
blood.
1t is believed that when the woman
arose Saturday morning she was taken
with heart trouble, and died where she
had dropped upon her face without q
struggle. She had not been seen by
any of her neighbors after Friday after
moon

Afoat on a Plank.

After floating in midocean on plank
for three days and two nights, james Oh
sen, Of the achooner Twilight, was pick
ed up by the crew OF the United States
cruiser Minneapolis, fifty miles east of
Charleston, last Wednesday al midnight
Olsen said that the Twilight had cap
sized early in the morning, with seven
men on board. Capt. Fiske, OF the
cruiser, on the way 10 Cuba, informed
the Navy Department by wireless via st.
Augustine yesterday, that although the
Minneapolis remained in the vicinity OF
the wreck until dsg light, using all search
lights, no sign of the wreck or survivors
could be seen.
Capt. Fiske says that shortly before
midnight two men on the Minneapolis
heard some one feebly crying for help,
and that he stopped the war ship and or
dered the searchlights turned on. An
hour later Olsen was seen floating on a
plank, aud was rescued by the life boat
He was exhausted from his fight with the
waves for sixty hours, and his strength
was so far gone he could have held to
the plank only a few hours longer.
The Twilight, Capt. Feddenson, was
of 357 tonnage and her home port was
Wilmington, Del. She sailed from Char
lesion September II, for Philadelphia.
She was built at Essthaven, Conn, in
