POLICE COURT DOINGS
Judge Bradstreet Was ' in a Lenient
, . Mood This Morning.
Judge Bradstreet presided at city
court this morning. Apparently he
was in a lenient mood, for those whose
alleged misdemeanors brought them be
fore him fared well. : James J. Carney
was charged with having been drunk
Saturday and with being a common
drunkard. Carney objected to the lat
ter charge and doubted the truth of
the other one. If Carney could have
seen himself on his way to the police
station between Officers Noonan and
HIckey, ho would have been surprised
at the patience of these men. He was
sentenced to ninety days in jail.
Edward Carey, a minor, was charged
with breath of the peace. Carey was
accused by Officer Halpiri with being
one of a gang of boys that were play
ing cards near the Sacred Heart church
last evening, and when they were
routed by him they called him names.
He caught the accused. The defense
was managed by Attorney Holohan
and the boy was discharged.
Geo Warner, keeper of a livery stable
on Cale street, and Joseph Martone.one
of hla customers, had an altercation
over a swap Saturday, resulting in the
arrest of Warner. Martone claimed
Warner struck him twice in the face,
but it was shown to the satisfaction of
the court that the first blow was struck
by the complainant. This saved the
accused and sentence was suspended.
A complaint for breach of the peace
against Pasquale Gullotte was nolled
without costs. This was a row over
cards, in which fhe accused's brother,
the complainant, took part, and one
was as much to blame as the other.
PEKIN A DEATH TRAP.
Unwholesome Sanitary Conditions In
vite Pestilence.
PEKING, via Shanghai, Nov. 10.
Sanitary conditions here are becomiaa
serious. Since the foreign occupation
many Chinese have died of vinallpox aud
other infectious diseases. Fearing that
their funerals would be interfered with,
they have kept most of the coffins con
taining their dead iu their houses and
courtyards.
The Question of removing girbase has
become one of graTe importance. As the
natives are forbidden to deposit refuse
in the streets, there is now an enormous
accumulation in their dwellings and
yards, which threatens a serious epidem
ic. In view of the large number of
troops in and near the capital, the con
sequences of suca an outbreak would be
frightful. Smallpox, which is always
prevalent, is much more malignant dur
ing the winter season, and the danger
here is now alarmingly increased.
The belief that the note of the powers
to the Chinese commissioners. Prince
Chins and Li Hung Chang, will be com
pleted soon is strengthened by the results
of the recent informal conferences of the
ministers of the powers.
Mr. Conger, the United Stages minis
ter, said to a press correspondent:
"The situation is apparently very fa
vorable to the early beginning of negotia
tions for a preliminary settlement. I be
lieve that the next meeting of the foreign
envoys will virtually settle all points of
difference between the representatives of
the powers, who will lose no time in pre
senting the deaBaadl.
"What the result will be it is impossi
ble to foretell. Brunts have placed China
in a very critical condition. Whether she
will be able to preseYve her integrity and
to save her trade relations with the ret
of the world will depend upon what the
powers demand in the final settlement
and upon her willingness to accept
promptly the conditions proposed.
"It is quite unlikely, if not impossible,
that the Chinese court will return to Pe
king before next spring, but I do not an
ticipate any serious delay in the progress
of the negotiations with the Chinese com
missioners, as they are in telegraphic
communication with the court."
Military operations are virtually at a
standstill. The German and Italian ex
peditions northward passed through the
Nan-kuu pass unopposed.
The Lynoliinff Denounce "J.
DENVER, Nov. 19. The indignation
of the people of Denver over the burning
of the negro Porter was expressed yester
day in the most emphatic mnnner. The
disgrace to the state was the theme in
every pulpit. Without exception the
speakers placed upon the press the re
sponsibility for exciting the people to
frenzy. '
Sea Voyasc. For tlio Hollaed Boat.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. John P. Hol

announces that he has planned a number
of sea voyages for his boats now under

trip to Cuba and another one to Europe.
MANY ACCIDENTS
HAVE RESULTED IN WATEBURY
Have Resulted in Waterbury People
Fear Loss of Life and Damage to
Property.
During the past eighteen months in
this city aud vicinity there have been
manj- fires and accidents resulting
from the use of open burning oil and
gasoline stoves, some of which have
happened only recently, with loss of
life, account of which is still fresh in
the memory of our citizens.
These items are of almost daily oc
currence from the use of open flame
gasoline and oil stoves, which are not
only dangerous but injurious to health,
same as gas stoves, from the fact that
they burn the oxygen from the air in
the room, leaving nothing but the dry
carbolic acid gas to be inhaled, and al
though the effect is momentarily ap
palling, the deadly gasoline and open
flame oil stoves are still in use gener
ally, because no safe substitute could
heretofore be found.
The Champion Oil Burner Co, Cleve
land, O., has solved the problem by
making it possible to use any common,
grade of kerosene or coal oil with ab
solute safety and properly heat witft
two-thirds the expense any cook or
other stoves built for using coal or
wood. Their invention Is rapidly being
placed in the hands of local agents all
over the state, who will retail cook
stove burners at $13 apiece. To get
them started here one may buy direct,
from the manufacturers, free on board
cars at Cleveland, for about half that
sum for a day or two- longer, or until
an agency Is established."
- This Invention has proved so inter
esting that Mr Barnhisel, the com
pany's representative, haa decided to
remainhere until Tuesday night with
his exhibition In Camp block. East
Main street, after which the gelling of
their, burners will be left In the hands
of a competent local agent v
HE STABBED HIS WIFE.
Waterbury Italian Follows His Wife
" ' ' to Hartford. . , i
No trace ha3 yet been found of the
Italian. John Ollviere, who attempted
to murder his wife iu Hartford Satur
day night The following story of the
assault was printed in yesterday's
Hartford Globe: 1
The residents in the vicinity of Law
rence and Grand streets were thrown
Into a state of mild panic early Satur
day night by the screams or a woman
rushing frantically around the streets
with a handkerchief held to her throat
to stop the flow of blood which oozed
from a deep gash inflicted bv a razor
m the hands of a mia, who. a few
moments after the affray was seen to
tear madly up Grand street, turn into
Broad and make his escape in the di
rection of the capitok pursued by sev
eral young men who came upon the
scene shortly after the woman was in
jured. The man. an Italian, who made an
attempt to take the life of his wife, is
John Ollviori of Waterbury. who came
to Hartford Friday afternoon in search
of Mrs Olivier!, with whom, on ac
count of family troubles, ho' had not
lived for the past three months.
Mrs Olivier!, who is about 21, and
an extremely handsome woman, has
for the past three weeks been employed
as a domestic in the home of Frank
Rates at 55 Grand street. The couple
were married about a year aso. and
on account of continued abuse Mrs Ol
ivier! separated from her husband and
the latter went to Waterbnrv to ob
tain employment. He was taken 111
while there and was compelled to go
to the hospital for treatment, from
which place he was discharged a few
days ago. He came to Hartford Fri
day, and. learning that his jife was
employed at the Rntes house. Boncht
her and tried to effect a reconciliation.
Saturday nltrht about fiO he entered
the house when his wife w pnsrared
In preparing tho supper, nml tried to
induce her to sign a paper of some
sort, presumably an agreement that
she would discontinue notion in a pro
ceeding which she had begun for a
divorce.
Mrs Ollviori refused to comply with
his wish and he nsked her to take a
walk and talk the matter over. She
accompanied him a few paces down
the street, when, according to those
who were nearby, the couple became
engaged in a heated conversation, and
without a moment's warning Oiivieri
whipped a razor from his coat pocket
and made a vicious luuge at his wife's
throat.
The woman, though taken unawares,
saw the blade flash in the dim l!ght
and drew her head downward, receiv
ing the effect of the thrust on the right
cheek. The affray took place at a
spot known as the "Weeping Willows."
so termed on account of a large wil
low tree growing in the yard of the
Rates property on the corner, and the
screams of the woman attracted a large
crowd in a few moments.
The man. as soon as he realized what
he had done, turned and fled westward
up Grand street, and close on his heels
was Thomas O'Brien. Jr, a young man
who was in the vicinity, and several
others. The Italian, however, was fleet
of foot, and having got a good start,
eluded his would-be captors and soon
was lost in the dark.
Mrs Oiivieri. stunned bv the gash
and weak from the loss of blood which
flowed in a copious stream down her
face, staggered across the street to
Loomis's drug store and asked to have
the wound bandaged. Mr Loowis saw
at once that the cut. was a dangerous
one and immediately HacT a physician
summoned. Dr L. A. Maynard re
sponded and after ordering her remov
al to the house where she had been
working, took eight stitches In her
cheek. The cut extended from the side
of the mouth across the cheek aud
down to the throat, being semi-circular
In shape, and Dr Maynard said that
if the weapon had not there stopped in
its course it would have severed the
jugular vein, causing instant death.
The woman's father. Daniel Angel
lo, who owns a barber shop on Wind
sor street, was sent for, but could not
be found, and her grandfather came
instead. The woman was made as
comfortable as possible and spent the
night at the rates house.
Oiivieri is described as 25 years of
age. light comiple.xion, blue eyes, slight
build. 5 feet 4 inches iu height, with
crooked nose. He wore a dark suit,
red sweater, and was without an over
coat. It is said he accosted his wife
in the drug store at the corner Friday
afternoon and berated her roundly in
his native tongue for her refusal to
live with him. and the woman became
frightened and hurried to the house.
After the cutting affray Saturday night
Oiivieri. in bis hurry to make his es
cape, dropped the razor under the
willow tree aud it was afterward
found by a boy and given to Mrs
Rates. Officers Morgan and Quintard.
who were at work on tne case, secured
the weapon, which of the ordinary
black-nancueci pattern, wnu a 1
about an inch deep. It was smeared
with blood when picked up.
Mrs Oiivieri has in her possession a
letter from Attorney Charles W. Bauby
of Waterbury. whose counsel was evi
dently sought by her husband, which
she showed to a Hartford Globe re
porter Saturday night. The lawyer
advised her to come to Waterbury to
meet him and settle the trouble with
her husband, whom he said was re
pentant and was willing to make
amends for the past. He advised her
against instituting proceedings for a
divorce, as he said it would be a shame
and cause a great deal of notoriety.
It is supposed that Oiivieri had in hi3
nossession last night some manner of
law instrument procured from his at
torney to which he was trying to in
duce his wife to attach her signature.
and failing In this he made the unsuc
cessful attempt on her life. Captain
Ryan telephoned to the Waterbury po
lice Saturday night to be on the look
out for them an. as it is supposed he
will return to Waterbury. An otflct!
was also sent to the depot to intercept
Oiivieri If he attempted to board an
evening train, but he did not appear.
The Italians with whom Mrs Oiivieri
lived showed much sympathy for her,
last evening and were loud in their
denunciation of the act of her husband,
who-, they said, ought to be confined
where he could do no more harm to
her. '- ' ; , ;' . "' ' '

CONNECTICUT NATIONAL GUARD
The Talk 'of a Change of Reorganiza
tion Has About Died Out.
So far there is apparently no defi
nite plan or movement for the reor
ganization or reform of the Connecti
cut National Guard, says the Hartford
Globe, although a few months ago it
was said that such a project was under
way and would come before the next
legislature. Interest in the idea has
not grown, aud it is the present pre
vailing opinion that no change will be
effected at this session.
A disposition is shown to await the
action of congress on the militia or na
tional guard question and certainlv
nothing can be accomplished by that
body in the short session of three
months, if the nation is to follow the
example of oilier countries of military
importance and have a national re
serve force of some kind, partially un
der the state auspices and partially
under the federal government, it is be
lieved to be advisable to make any
changes now which would only have
to be abandoned when congress did get
around to action on the lines mention
ed. The stand taken by the military ex
perts of the federal war department
is altogether adverse to the present na
tional guard system of the various
states, in respect to the one item of
furnishing bodies of men who can be
at once made a part of the volunteer
forces in time of war. The experience
of the war with Spain was sufficient
to demonstrate this fact to the satis
faction of the war department: and it
may be confidently expected that any
system of national reserve forces
which the department may induce con
gress to adopt will present the most
radical changes from tiie national
guard or state militia plan.
The aim. therefore, of those who
have the Connecticut National Guard
interests at heart. Is to improve the
personnel and discipline of the present
guard, without any changes in the plan
of organization until such changes can
be made intelligently and definitely,
and with full consideration of the pos
sible efi'ect of federal legislation on the
militia formation.
The state naritation which has in
years past touched on the methods and
discipline of the state camp shown
last year in connection with the "dry
camp" regime may again re-appear in
connection with encampment details:
but. as has been said, there is as yet
no demonstration of any plan to brin
about a reorganization of the guard,
as talked of a while ago.
