RELEASED FROM PRISON.
Ansonia Woman Serves Out Eight oi
 10 Year Sentence.

Ansonia, Aug. 10.-Minnie Jack. son Anderson of this city was releas. ed from the state prison at Wetherss | field Monday and is spending her time among relatives here. Mrs An, derson, it is said. has been a model prisoner at the state institution since her admission there over eight years ago. That her record in the institu. tion was excellent can be seen by the fact that almost two years was talk. en of her sentence.
 Minnie Anderson was sent to pri. son from the superior court at New Haven for term of ten years for crime committed in this city, which, at the time, caused sensation. She was arrested and charged with ad. ministering poison to her husband. John Anderson, who at that time was a clerk In the store of the Bristol Drug company. The case created great interest in this city at the time, as both were well known. They lived at Wooster street. It was said that the poison was administered by placing 1t in coffee.
 After her husbands death Minnie Anderson was arrested and charged with the deed. After preliminary hearing in this city, probable cause was found and she was bound over to the superior court. The case was stubbornly fought in the New Haven court with the result that she was found guilty of murder in the second degree and sentence of ten years was given her.

AT PINEY RIDGE SUNDAY.
Futon's Band and Stevens Band to
 Compete.

The band contest between Fulton's band of Waterbury and the Stevens band of Chicopee at Piney Ridge, which was assigned for last Sunday afternoon and evening was not pull ed off on account of the weather predictions which promised rainy Sunday, and the contest was post poned for a week. Manager Newton was able at short notice to procure the services of the Carpet City Brass band for the day, so that people who had trollied to Piney Ridge to hear band playing were not disappointed. Conductor Sayres was congratulated on the work of the band, particularly the solo numbers.
 The contest between Fulton's band and the Stevens band on Sunday af- ternoon and evening Is sure to att tract large number of people who appreciate the pleasure of trolley ride by the east side Springfield line to Piney Ridge, or by the west side line and transfer at Warehouse Point, and the program of choice mu- sic which will be given. Both bands have acquired reputations for play ing which ensure some excellent work in this contest. Fulton's band will play in the afternoon and the Stevens band in the evening. Band master Tubbs of Norwich will score the points and announce the winner in the contest.

MUST GO TONEW YORK
Acquisition Papers For Soo Too Tang in Court This Morning.

The case of Soc Too Tang, which has been pending in the city court for over a week awaiting the arrival of extradition papers from New York, came up to-day again. but in a way that was not expected by his counsel, Russell and Lawlor. A few days ago the case was continued to this morning, when 1t was expected Attorney Russell would move for the discharge of Tang on the grounds that the necessary papers for his re- moval from the state had not ar rived. But they did arrive and an officer from New York was on hand with them, and this forenoon he pro- ceeded to Hartford to have them signed by Governor Woodruff. The situation this morning looked as though Tang would have to face the music in the New York courts. He was in mortal terror of this, for 1t is his impression that if ever he goes back to New York the chances are that he shall never again set foot in this state.
 He says he is the victim of con- spiracy because he made a fellow countryman pay him back loan of $5 with some SIS costs. The charge against him is grand larceny of $250 last November.

HOW THEY VOTED
Senator's Went on Record on
 the Conduit Bill.

Since the bill to permit the city to use its own streets. which cost the taxpayers millions, and to lay con- duits therein failed to pass the senate,i there has been considerable talk us tol what senators voted for the bill and| who voted against It. Principally the discussion has circled around tho disputed action of Senator Irving H. Chase. Some say he voted for the bill and some he did not vote for It. The following is taken from the offi- cial report of the vote on the matter, and that is taken to be correct The senate had previously rejected the bill. but Senator Brown of the twenty. third district moved that the senate adhere.
 The motion was discussed by Sena- tors Chase of the fifteenth district Waterbury,, Brady of the sixth dis- trict. and Donovan of the twenty sixth district.
 On motion of Senator Brady of the sixth district the vote upon the motion was ordered by the yeas and nays.
 The motion prevailed.
 The vote was as follows:
 Those voting yea were-Senator I.u- ther of the first district, McGovern of the second district, Spellacy of the third district, Grant of the fourth dis trict, Hall of the fifth district, Mid- dleton of the seventh district, Butter- worth of the eighth district, Blakeslee of the ninth district, Hodkinson of the twelfth district, Thompson of the four teenth district, Chase of the fifteenth district. Farrell of the seventeenth district, Waller of the eighteenth dis, trict, Aborn of the nineteenth dis trict, Buell. of the twentieth district, Hoffman of the twenty--fourth district, Judson of the twenty-fifth district, Walsh of the twenty-seventh dis trict, Patter of the twenty-eighth dls- trict, Gates of the twenty-ninth dis trict, Brooks of the thirtieth district Barnum of the thirty-first district. Barnes of the thirty-second district, Briggs of the thirty-third district Shepard of the thirty-fourth district
 Those voting nay were-Senator Brady of the sixth district, Shanley of the eleventh district, Atwater of the thirteenth district Hurley of the six; teenth district (Waterbury). McNeil of the twenty-first district. Donnelly of the twenty-second district, Donovan of the twenty-sixth district,
 Those absent were: Senator Ho- man of the tenth district. Brown of the twenty-third district Keeney of the thirty-fifth district.
 Whole number voting-32; necessary for passage-17; number voting yea 25; number voting nay-7.
 The above record shoWs Senator Chase voted against the bill and those who hold that point of view wonder why he took that course. They ask what influence was it that prompted him to vote against the measure.

 That 1t marched more miles than any other Connecticut regiment goes easy. Years ago in a soldiers paper printed In Washington, D. C.. there was an item printed stating that the Fifth c. V. Infantry marched more miles than any other regiment in the civil war. The regiment marched nearly 5000 miles. It was always designated by that part of the army,  wherever it served. as the foot cav airy, and it truly earned its name. No other regiment has claimed to have marched more miles than the Fifth.
 The regiment traversed the states of Maryland. Virginia. West vir- gInia, Kentucy. Tennessee. Alabama. Georgia. South Carolina and North Carolina. marching more miles than any other Connecticut regiment dur ing the war-752 miles from Janu- ary IT to May 21, 1885.

The Fifth regiment left Hartford July 29, 1861, and joined the com mand of General Banks at Sandy Hook, Md, August 1. During the heat of the summer and the inclem- ency of the ensuing winter the regi- ment was actively employed in watching various lords of the Poto- mac for a distance of nearly 100 miles, marching to and fro as the occasion demanded. In the spring of 1862 the regiment advanced un- der General Banks to Harrisonburg, Va, and was with him on the memor- able retreat through the valley, marching forty-five miles on the last day. After reorganization 1t re- crossed the Potomac and took part in the disastrous campaign and re- treat of General Pope. Then, under General Mcclellan, 1t recrossed the Potomac into Maryland in pursuit of Lees forces. but owing to its reduced ranks the regiment was left to do garrison duty in Frederick City, Md. After being recruited the regiment, in the winter of 1862. was attached  to the twelfth army corps under General Slocum, and 1t participated in all the various campaigns of the army of the Potomac until the fall of 1883, when the eleventh and twelfth army corps were transferred to the army of the west, thereupon consolidating into the twentieth army corps under General Hooker. The regiment in the spring of 1864 joined the army of General sherman near Chattanooga and took part in his campaign through Georgia and the CaroIInas. It finally marched to Washington and took part in the grand review. The regiment was in these engagements:

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
President Urged to Call One to
Amend Financial Laws.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2.-It was
learned here today from undoubted
sources that President Roosevelt is
now being urged to call an extra SEES
sion of Congress to deal with the
financial situation. The request
comes from and represents the judg-
ment o. the conservative leaders in
the financial world who have rep
resented the present situation as one
compelling action of a character
which will effectively eradicate all
ground for suspicion of American in
dustrial methods.
The President has been assured
from most reliable sources that there
will be no opposition on the part of
the great industries of the country to
the enactment of the necessary laws
to carry out his ideas of federal con-
troll to the extent to which he has
expounded them in his recent pub
lie utterances. These assurances are
made at this time to avert what has
been represented as the most danger
GUS situation which has confronted
the country during an extended his
toric period-that is, the seeming
growing lack of confidence based on
known irregularities in business
methods in some quarters, and no
sure and speedy means of separating
the good from the unsound.
