WIEN the Town Counsel Of Nil
lord started to have all properly
connected with sewers which IS not
now connected with the sewers al
ready built in the town, It was rec
ognized that considerable opposi-
tion would be stirred up among
those who owned property, but who
have no pride IN the civic, or sani-
tary conditions, but who are per
fectly willing for others TO pay the
bills, 50 that they escape the respou-
sibility. Then again there IS al
ways q number Of cases where the
property IS owned by those who find
the raising Of any considerable sum
Of money difficult, and such cases
are unfortunate, but Town Council
cannot discriminate; the law will
not permit this to Be done. The
situation this fall in Milford is par
ticularly lively. and as the time

notices which were sent out by

ial session was held on Thursday
evening, at which every member of
Council was present and acting, to
the methods TO be taken [

sewers. After consideration, It was b
decided 10 prosecute and enforce :

best to take as the first case a pro- Q

ines and do the work, who had not y

0 comply with the two notices. n

GIRL LEARNS TROUSERS
ARE NO PASS TO FIGHT
Young Woman Arrested at Door
of Boxing Club When Dis
uuiSe Is Discovered.

Equal suffrage and the inalienable
right OF California girls to attend prize
fights got a rough setback last night
when Miss Margaret O'Connor. fancee
of Jack Britton. the boxer. disguised
herself in mans clothes and tried 10
get into the St. Nicholas Rink. at Sew
enth avenue and Goth street, 10 see the
Palzer- Moran bout.
Instead OF outwitting the Boxing
Commission. Miss O'Connor was locked
UP in the West 6Sth street police sta
tion. and had TO appear in the Night
Court TO explain where she got the
clothes. Magistrate Campbell dis
charged her with a reprimand.
When she confid,i to Britton her in
tention OF seeing the fight last night he
tried in vain to disuade her The dis
cusslon ended in Brittons lending the
young woman a suit, silk shirt, blue
tie, raincoat and cap. The cap, how
ever, was the means Of her downfall,
for when she drove up in front OF the
rink last night in company with Wal
ter c. Bender, an automobile salesman.
Of No. 4}4 West l20th street, the IL
fitting headgear allowed heavy coil II
hair to drop down in sight and the
hundreds of fans" about tie entrance
set up a shout.
Detective Rose. Of Inspector Dryers
staff. fought his way into the crowd to
find pretty girl In mans clothes be-
ing jostled about. Seeming an old pick
pocket game. he arrested Miss O'Con-
nor and Bender and took them to the
West 6sth street police station. where
the girl told her story 10 Lieutenant
Stewart Despite her pleadings and
those OF her escort, both were locked
up until Danny" Morgan, Britton's
manager. got word OF the affair and
bailed them out.
Miss O'Connor was not greatly dis
turbed by her arrest and encounter
with the crowd. but had some severe
comments on New Yorks Puritan
ism" Lieutenant Stewart, neverthe-
less. was determined, and she had TO
go 10 the night court TO answer to the
charge OF masquerading in mems
clothes. Even this apparently was
nothi. g compared to her disappoint-
ment at missing the fight.

may have been placed on a train going

been convicted in Kings County OF
murder in the second degree. His
record as n prisoner was good.
4 riot was threatened when the
prison whistle was heard. CROWDS

rumor 10 spread that there was an

Warden John VI. Clancy and James

rounds Of the prison several times IN
the belief that Kilbride was hiding
there.
Hugh Lavo-y. the keeper in Charge
Of the shipping department, said ne ala

time for placing the men In the cells.
This was about 40 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He said at i:3O o'clock

The fact that within fifteen minutes
after his disappearance search was
made for kilbride made Warden
Clancy certain the man would be found
secreted somewhere within the prison
walls. The all night search Will be
continued.
At Brooklyn Police Headquarters It
was said last night that kilbride was
a marine who was convicted in 1876
for the murder of a man named Kelly
and the shooting Of Kelly's wife, who
afterward recovered. Kilbride is also
said to have confessed that previous to
