TRIED TO
 RAILROAD
 RESOLUTION
Friends of Judge Walsh of Common Pleas, Fearing Opposition, Perform Need- less LabOrs.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Hartford, Feb. 24.-Quite @ stir was caused in the Capitol corridors this morning by an effort to railroad through the reappointment of Judge James F. Walsh of the Fairfield coun- ty Common Pleas court. Judge Walsh's term does not run out for some time, but in view of the court trials in Greenwich and the general po- litical situation in the county it was desired to have the matter settled. Governor Lilley sent in the nomina- tion some days ago and it was re- ferred to the Judiciary committee. The hearing was not scheduled in yes- terday's bulletin, but members found it announced for Il o'clock this morn ing in today's bulletin.
 The Judiciary committee was not present at the hearing with the excep- ton of three or four members The members of the committee agreed among themselves to report the reso- lution favorably and Senator Lattimer interrupted a discussion in the Senate to permit Senator Searles to introduce the Walsh resolution.
 The vote in the Senate showed but one ballot against the passage. But in the meantime the House adjourned and the sole object of the hasty strat- egy was defeated.
 Judge Walsh is appearing before the Judiciary committee this afternoon representing Judge Burns of the Greenwich borough court to whose re- appointment there is some objection.

MAN IS HELD
 WOMAN IS FREED
Eloping Couple in the City Court This Morning Woman Taken Back By
 Her Husband and Father.

! In the city court this morning Judge
 Pullman nolled the case of Nicolina
 Cannici and bound over Luigi Pas l care1le to the superior court on a charge of larceny. Pascarello's bond was fixed at $1.0O0. On January 2S, Pascare1lo and Mrs. Cannici eloped to New York. Pascarello has a wife liv- ing on Main street and Mrs. Cannici left her husband Vincezo ~Cannici and
 two little children. At the same time
 $500, the savings of Mrs. Cannici's
 father. Rosario Cannici disappeared
 from 8 bureau drawer at the bakery
 he conducts at 52 Lexington avenue,
 where all of the parties interested re- side. The husband of the woman, who
 is also her cousin. and Pascarello were
 employed at the bakery. The runaway couple were located in New York by
 State Policeman Frank Verilli. The pair were arrested and with them
 brother of Pascarello. Carlo, who was
 wanted for an alleged assault with a
 street New York. some time ago. The
 husband and father have received the girl and the charge against her will
 not be pressed. Her parents believe
 that she knew nothing about the theft of the money. It is believed that Pas carello has planted the money for future use.
 At the trial this morning a key which fitted the drawer where the money was Axept was identified as one Pascarello was seen filing a few days before the elopement. The key was found on the floor near the bureau the next day. It is alleged that Pascarello makes a practice of marrying women and after ward deserting them when he has ob- tained all their money. 1t is said that two such cases are known. The first was an Italian woman whom he de- serted when he found she had no mon ey. Another was Miss Mary Brown of 1410 Main street, who went with Pas carel1o to Portchester last summer and was married there. Pascarello desert ed her because she refused to turn over her savings to him after the mar riage. She agreed however. to buy him a suit of clothes but changed her mind when she heard that her husband had told his friends that he was going to leave her as soon as he got the cloth ing. He did leave soon after.
 Mrs. Cannici has become reconciled with her husband. The only excuse she gives for her conduct is that she was not allowed to go to dances and have a good time. Pascarello promised to make life a dream for her if she would accompany him. She is attrac- tive and about 23 years of age.

rogative.
 The chief arguments were made by MT. Phelan for the city's side of the 1 the case and by MT. Paige for the wa | ter company's side of the case. i MT. Phelan went into the merits of l the question. He made an analysis of the legislation bearing upon water supply from the period when the com pany received it's grant from the Council in 1853, to the present time. His presentation was strictly par liamentary and scholarly discussion of the facts upon their merits, in which he brought to bear his great knowl- edge of the law. MT. Paige's remarks constituted a characteristically clever evasion of the issue.
 His was strictly the politicians atti- tude When you have the votes let the other fellow keep the argument. '
 Mr. Phelan said: 'I am opposed to the continuation of the contract, un- less under instruction from the people. because:
 '1st Because. by continuing to make annual appropriations. we may be or are antagonizing the peoples rights or wishes.
 ''2nd. Because, being in doubt as to the popular will, we should take steps to learn it at once, whilst keeping the contract intact by appropriations until the people say otherwise.
 3rd. Because the mayor ana com mon Council, and the people at pub lie hearing, tell us not to appropriate any money for such contract.
 4th. Because the Common Council that advises us to break the contract, is an equal power to the Common Council that caused it to be made.
 18th. Because prlma facie,it appears that rates charged the city under the contract for water are excessive, un- warranted and in violation of the com pany's charter. containing the Green contract clause.
 "6th Because. in the opinion of the City Attorney. the contract is held by our superior court to be a conditional contract, requiring the annual appro- priations of this Board to keep it in force from year to year.
 ''7th. Because, by the advice of the City Attorney, there appears to be no legal way of making the water com

The steamer John H. Starin went through the storm of last night with out being greatly damaged beyond the injuries she had already received. The steamer went ashore in a perigee tide and is consequently higher out of wa ter than would otherwise have been the case. Moreover the worst of the gale last night was at low water. so that the waves reached her with little force.
 Should the storm now raging increase in force there would be danger of the ship going to pieces at high tide.

MESSINA AGAIN SHAKEN
Terrific Shocks Terrorize In
habjtants Of City.

Messina, July 2.-Messina expe
rienced two terrific EARTHQUAKES at
about 1880 o'clock a. M, which were
accompanied by roaring sounds and
are said to have had a stronger and
more undulatory movement than the
earthquake of last December, which
destroyed Messina, Reggie and other
cities, laid waste many villages in
Calabria and killed 100000 people.
Although the latest shocks had r,
such terrible consequences, the 25,-
600 residents of this city were thrown
into a state Of terror. They ran into
the streets panic-stricken and nearly
the entire population is encamped in
the open places, fearing to return to
the structures which have served
them as homes since the city was
destroyed.
The broken walls Of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and Mes
sina was for a few minutes smoth-
cred in a cloud of dust.
The casualties were few and he
only persons killed so far as known
We're a young woman and her infant.
Reggie suffered almost as severe a
shock as Messina. Walls were over
thrown, but no casualties have been
reported at that place.
