HIS LAST DAY
Murder Bailey will Be Put 10 Death al inc State Prison
 To-Night
BEAT MAN TO DEATH

Hartford, April 15.-Henry O.. Bailey, the murderer of George H.. Goodale, will pay the full penalty for his crime shortly after midnight tonight, when he will be hanged at the state prison in Wethersfield. The murder was committed in Mid dletown July last and the victim was a fish peddler. who was beaten to death by Bailey and then robbed. Bailey fled and was captured several weeks later near Toronto, Canada. Bailey has been in good health since he entered state prison and is fully resigned to his fate
 Not since 1S44, up to the time Of Bailey's conviction, had first de gree murder penalty been imposed on anyone from Middlesex county, this remarkable record beating that of any county in the state by many years. The last man who was hanged for murder in this county was Lucien Hall of Meriden, who murdered Mrs Lavinia Bacon of Mid dletown on September 24. 1S43. On July 20 of the following year Hall was put to death in the Middletown Jail before big crowd. who went from many parts of the state to wit ness the execution. The day was de- clared semi-holiday and a larger crowd attended that hanging than any in the states history.

: GAS TURNED ON.
Man in Hotel Waterbury Said to Be
 Weak Minded.

Thomas P. Conry of Woburn, Mass, a man about 70 years of age, was found in an unconscious condi- tion in one of the rooms of the Wa terbury hotel yesterday morning about o'clock. The gas jet was turned on. The man appears to be somewhat demented and during the early part of the evening, according to the hotel employees. talked very irrational and was under the impress sion that he was great financier and with the unlimited money on hand had several big projects which he intended to push through
 About 10 o'clock the night clerk scented gas fumes and after investi- gating, it was found that the odor was coming from the room occupied by MT Conroy. They gained admit tance to his room and found the gas jet turned on. The gas was just be- ginning to have its effect upon Con- roy but after working on the patient a short time he was himself again. He said that he did not know about the jet being opened.
 Dr David, who lives near was sum moned and after working on Conroy for more than an hour brought lnm out of danger. Conroy denied that he was trying to end his life. After some time it was learned from the man that he had daughter, lena. in Wo- burn and requested that she he noti- fed.

STRUCK WITH STONE.
James Mclaughlin Knocked Sense-
 less Saturday Evening.

Somebody must be conducting stone thrOwers' club on the high ground on Baldwin street southeast of the Merriman school Every other night missiles come from that spot with sufficient force to knock down horse and 1t is wonder why the police have not been asked to make an investigation. Saturday evening James Mclaughlin, in company with couple of companions. was stand ing near his home when a stone was thrown from the hill and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him senseless. He was picked up and assisted to his home. where he soon revived, but it will be some time be- fore he will forget the incident. An effort should be made to find out who is engaged in this business and bring him into court. Stones rained down on public highway where people are constantly passing up and down are apt to result seriously to somebody and 1t shouldn't be toler- ated any longer.

LASTED TWO HOURS

 We're Installed.

Albany, N. Y., April 15.-The strongest and longest earthquake shock recorded on the seismograph a' the state museum here. since the in- strument was installed. began at 1:14 a. m. to-day, and continued more than two hours. The record is much more pronounced than tha' made by the earthquake which de- stroyed San Francisco year ago. The maximum vibration was so severe to swing the pendulum clear off of the recording cylinder.
 Assistant State Geologist David H. Newland said that the difference in time between this point and Mexico City would seem to indicate that this shock was later than that reported in the dispatches from there.
 "It must have been very severe in- deed, longer and more severe than any recorded since our instruments were installed. more than year ago. It appears to have been some 5000 miles away, to the southwest or southeast"

Mexico Earthquake.

Mexico City. April 15.--The official record of the meteorological bureau Ion last nights earthquake gave the duration of the shock as lasting four minutes. The movement was from east to west in an oval shape.
 The observer declared that the center of the shock was probably to the southward and it is feared that towns in that region may have sui fered. Late reports from the vari- ous police stations here state that no lives were lost and no one injured.
 Not station of the fire depart ment received call. One freak of the earthquake was recorded. A driver of-a circus wagon who was taking .paraphernalia to a railroad depot was thrown from his seat by the force of the shock. He was un. injured beyond slight bruises, but every one of the animals he was driy. ing was killed.
 Telegraph communication as far south as Oaxaca and San Juan Bau- tista has been established, but be- yond the report that the shock was heavy in that region and along the gulf coast nothing more was learned
 From the city of Vera Cruz south the shock is reported to have been very severe. At the meteorological bureau, it is said, the shock was the heaviest experienced here since 1882.
 From what is known at this time, the shock extended from the city of San Luis Potosi on the north to Oaxaca on the south, a distance of 500 miles.
 Representatives of the Associated Press made rapid tour in cabs over the business streets of the city. but nowhere could damage beyond cracked wall be found.
 At the time of the first shock the cafes and theaters were filled, and for a time a panic was feared. but, owing to the peculiarly steady swing of the earth's movement, the crowds left the buildings in comparatively good order. The shock was preceded by two bright electric flashes, which lit up the sky to the northwest of Mexico City.
 Up to this time the property loss is reported as small. A number of walls in unsubstantial buildings col lapsed and one on Buchareli street narrowly missed burying the fleeing inmates of hotel.

Brussels, April liking Leo pold's return is expected to mark the beginning of a new phase in the struggle between the monarch and parliament over the question of the annexation of the Congo free state by Belgium. The king is unalterably opposed to annexation and for the time being seems complete master of the situation His refusal to per- init the Congo administration to fur nish information concerning the fi- nances of his African state to the parliamentary commission of the country of which he is the consti- tutional king, practically checkmates the parliament.
 Public opinion in Belgium is di- vided on the question. There is a natural antipathy on the part of many to Belgium embarking upon a colonial policy. There is a large body of stock holders in the concessionary compan- ies who are content to receive big dividends and no questions asked. The commercial class generally reaps indirectly large profits from the wealth coming out of the Congo and the mass of the people. dazzled by the prodigality of the monarch, his manifold gifts. the magnificent structures he is constantly building, are indifferent or on the side Of the king. Nevertheless sentiment in favor of annexation grows constant ly.
 In parliament the majority Is strongly convinced that the destinies of the immense black population of the kings African possessions, com prising 9OO.00O square miles, de- mand that a civil administration amenable to public opinion and cabinet responsible to parliament should be substotuted for the ire sponsible will of one man.
 Whether the stories of atrocities and awful exploitation of the helpless blacks are exaggerated the existence at various times and places of the most revolting abuses has been estab- lished and the advocates of annexa- ton argue that 1t is impossible to pre- vent their recurrence as long as the administration and exploitation of this vast territory and population is con ducted secretly with the aid of half savage black native levies.
 On the face of things, the Congo administration goes annually deeper into debt. There is q chronic deficit. It has outstanding bonds amounting to SG0.OGO.O00. not including the 2I,- OO0.U0 francs loan made by Belgian. in return for which Leopold made his will in favor of the state.

Lodz, April 15.-During the last four weeks over one hundred work men have been killed or wounded here as the result of labor feuds. The government has failed to protect those who are willing to work and the latter have taken matters into their own hands and are violently expelling the terroristic, anarchistic and socialistic agitators, who they hold responsible for the ruin of the industries of Lodz. As the Jews form over eighty per cent of the so- cialists there is some apprehension that the incensed workmen may en- gage in an anti-semitic outbreak.
