rand Opening STAR Department -j- Store, GUILTY OF GRAttO LARCENY McLaughlin Get Two Tears Sensational Charges and a Scene in Court. Another chapter in the career oi James McLaughlin was recorded In the City Court yesterday morning when he was held to await trial on tho charge of stealing Alderman J. W. Hayes's gold watch and chain. Tho prisoner was taken into court about 10 o'clock but there were few on-lookers as it was not generally understood that he was to have a hearing in the morning.

McLaughlin was not provided with counsel, but he denied tho charge and his hearing proceeded. Mr. Hayes was the first witness examined and he told how he missed the watcn essentially as has already been narrated in the Fkee Press. The watch was lying upon the bureau in his bedroom and ho did not miss it until he was changing his clothes iSunday morning. McLaughlin had been there Saturday and was at once suspected as he had been guilty of purloining before.

The prisoner had worked for the witness in taking care of horses but had been drinking hard of late. William Meagher, then told how ho bought the watch and chain from the prisoner near tho corner of North and Front streets. Daniel Dresnahara was with the witness at tho time. Tho terms was $10. of which $7 was paid down.

McLaughlin did not say how ho came by the watch. Witness had talked with McLaughlin about the watch before when he met him near North Bend. Witness saw Mr. Hayes's name on the charm Monday morning and returned it to its owner. On Monday morning McLaughlin called on the witness at Crane's mill and wanted the watch back or enough money to get out of town with.

Patrick Welch called with him. At this point tho respondent was asked if he wished to inquire of the witness and he asked Meagher if the latter remembered his charging him with taking the watch whereupon the witness replied in the negative. Chief of Police Dumas tolU how he arrested McLaughlin on the road from Wi-nooski to Essex. Tho prisoner said: "I suppose you are after mo "Yes," replied tho officer "and I want Alderman Hayes's watch." McLaughlin at lirst denied that he had it but finally said that Mrs. Hayes gave it to him and that Meagher took it from him while ho was a-sleep in Benoit's house.

McLaughlin said that ha charged DEATH OF HON. D- LINSLEY. He Passes away at His Home in New York City-Sketch of Ills JAfe. Hon. D.

C. Linsley died in New York Monday evening, October 7, aged 62 years. The iuimediata cause of his death was an acute affection of the kidneys, although he had for a long time been suffering from a complication of diseases. Daniel Chipman Linsley was a son of Charles and Martha Linsley and was born April 17, 1827 in Middlebury, where the years of his early boyhood were spent. He received bis education in the public schools of that town and in Middlebury college.

He began his business career about 1847, when he was only 20 years of age, an the Rutland Burlington railroad on tho survey of which he was engaged for three years. After this road was in operation he had a call to Illinois, whither he went in ISol, and supervised tho construction of tho Illinois Central. In the year 1833 the contract being finished, hereturned to Vermont, and for some time devoted his attention to writing a book about Morgan horses on which subject he was authority and after the successful publication of this he began the issue of a paper called the Vor-niout Stock Jo rnal which had a wide circulation. While engaged in newspaper work he received an appointment as superintendent of the government building at Windsor then in the early process of construction and he went thero continuing the publication of the Journal for some time in connection with his official duties. In 1809 he made a contract with tho Central Vermont liailroad company to construct the branch of that road now existing between this city and Wiuooski.

It was during tho process of this construction that the tunnel north of the lumber yards was built by Mr. Linsley and it was then regarded as a wonderful piece of work, being the first one that was ever built, through sand. During this time and that immediately following he built the Central Vermont depot at this place and one at St. Albans. He also superintended tho building of the Montreal and Vermont Junction and Lebanon Springs roads.

In 1870 ho was elected mayor of this city, being a democrat. He served in this capacity until 1N71 when he retired from that office and to Minnesota and constructed a portion of tho Northern Pacific in that State and the then Territory of Dakota, having his headquarters at Brainerd. After remaining in tho West for three years he returned East and constructed tho Canada Atlantic road from Ottawa to Capolle. Some years after tho completion of these roads he went to New York, where ho was the originator and constructor of the rapid transit road between Boston and that ciry. For the last two years Mr.

Linsley has been a resident of New York, and at the time of his death he was engaged on tho plans for a gigantic elevated railroad in that city, and had he lived to complete his work it would no doubt have been as great a success as have been his other works. During 1838 Mr. Linsley married Martha, daughter of ex-Mayor Jo D. Hatch), and there was born to them Jo H. Linsley, now a practicing physician of Now York, formerly of this city, and Miss Fanny, who is at the homo of the family in New York with her widowed mother.

Mr. Linsley was a man of broad ideas and brilliant conceptions, and his death is to be; sincerely mourned Uo that of a public benefactor as well as a generous-hearted citizen an loving and considerate husband and father. His remains will bo brought here to-day for interment and the funeral will be held from St. Paul's church, of which he was a member, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The New York Press says "The ccanic opera which was produced last veiling for the first time in this city by the Dull opera company at the Fifth Avenue, can scarcely fail to attain a largo nieasuro of deserving popularit y. There is scarcely a dull place in it.

The music is pleasing and the libretto bright and witty without being vulgar. The plot is based upon a very old and time-honored vendetta which lands the two heroes, who have been away getting educated, in a heap of difficulties from the moment they step upon their native Corsican beach. The principal parts were taken by Harry Faulton, who as Sa-j)ola, the head of ono of the families, achieved a notable tucoess Lucien, tho head of tho other, impersonated by Chaun-cey and Miss Louiso Jiaudet, Miss Lenore Snyder, Miss Fanny Edwards and Mr. William McLaughlin, who were respectively the Chileria, Paola, Margarine and JJraggad. icie of the piece.

The sale of tickets for the opera will open this evening at the box otlice. The I.uolers. The Luciers made their first appearance in this eity at the opera house last night and they gave a pleajiug entertainment. The musical part of tho programme was excellent, Little Margarot in her solos showing especially tine musical talent. J.

Lucier, tbio blind cornet ist, and J. E. lirennan, the Irish comedian, also deserve especial mention. The entertainment concluded with J. li.

Lucier's one act comedy, entitled the 'blind professor," during which many lino musical specialties were introduced. The company deserved a larger house and they will undoubtedly have it when they visit this citv again. COOKiNG LECTURES. Valuable Instruction, by 31 isi Parloa- at Ho ward Kellef Hall.

Chicken soup, Which was the dish on the programme, Was a delicious and delicately seasoned compound whi -ii would have delighted the palate of an epicure. The French are commonly supposed to make the most delicious Soups, but after this tiuire will be at least CO ladies who can Mioees-iuliy chalieuge competition with thei. Blanquette of chicken with rice boid. tho cooking of which would seem to the uninitiated a difficult task, was successfully made by Miss I'arioa, and alter tatmg it in all its perfection in.mi.' of 1: scholars wouid be unwilling lo mr.ko the attempt. Canadian apple pudding with rmt-ineg sauce was desert.

There are puddings and puddings, but if the proof of the pudding is in the eating, this was certainly a success us hardly a crumb of two puddings ivmained. Liver and bacon sounds commonplace, but Miss Purlorv showed what a palatable dish can bo mado from common materials, if one only knows how. it was a tasteful and highly enjoyed dir-h. hope lurger numbjr will be present at Thursday's lecture, tho pro-grammcfth wlm! is as follows: The cleaning and trussing of poultry, roast chicken, oyster bisque, profitercles, graham pudding, with golden sauce.

Tho Home for Destitute Children. 1 he annual eeting of the corporation and subscribers to the Home for Destitute Children occurs at St. Paul's chapel on Ehursday afternoon of this week, as will lw seen by the notice in another column. For several years the attendance of the frieada of liie Home at this meeting has been much smaller than in former years owing perhaps to the feeling that the Home being on a firmer financial basis, did not need much as formerly i he assistance and support of its friends. The managers of the Home, however, earnestly desire to see more ladies at this annual meeting.

A statement is made of the condition and prospects of the Home and its work during the past year. The officers and managers are elected for tho ensuing year, and it is a great encouragement to those who have its affairs in charge to feel that they are the representatives of many others, who are interested in the work the Home is doing for many destitute and friendless children.

A decided gain is no ticeable in the lavor shown the Small Toque and Turban although tlie broad rolling and drooping brims v.vo so picturesque and so becoming to many face that they will probably continue popular for sreneral wear. Apropos of the Low Crowned Hats everyone must admit that when untrimmcd fhey are generally but jit is in the adroit arrangt-iiiient of their garnitures of I ribbons and plumes or rib-i bons and birds that the se-j cret of their success is found. The Soft Felts for autumn wear show a low crown and broad brim, that widens to the front, permitting the use of an abundant garniture of leathers that gives the hat a decidedly elegant appearance. A glance at our GENTRE WINDOWS, will show you a lew of our large and elegant lino of Trimmed Hats. We will be pleased to show you our goods if you favor us with a call.

Miles McMalOD- Coinpj. mery Meagher with taking the watch and the latter admitted it saying that ho took it because ho (McLaughlin) was so drunk that he could not tako care of it. Mrs. Hayes identihed the watch and she said she saw it last on tho bureau about 2:30 Saturday afternoon. McLaughlin asked her for dinner and although she had been ordored not to harbor him she gave him something to oat.

Another young man was thero at the time doing some work for her. She indignantly deniod that sho gave McLaughlin the watch. "Don't you remember talking with me at the back step and handing me the watch S1" asked McLaughlin. "No, you know better," said Mrs. Hayes who was almost hysterical as she left tho stand und had to be quieted by the court.

McLaughlin took tho stand although ho was informed by the State's attorney that ho was not obliged to. Ho said it was breakfast and not dinner that he had from Mr3. Hayes. Ha wandered about during the day and about dusk went back and asked her if sho could lot him have some money. See replied that sho could not but gave him the watch telling him that ho could sell it.

He was tli on examined at length by Mr. Foster who brought out the story uf the stealing of the watch by Meagher as has already been McLaughlin said that he was not under the influence of liquor but ho was all at sea as to his whereabouts during tho past three days. Vr hen asked if he did not regard it as queer that Mrs. Hayes should givo him her husband's watch lie said that people did a great many queer things now a-days. Daniel Bresnaham wont over the story of tho sale of tho watch at length but he gave the impression that ho knew more than ho was willing to tell about the nfiair.

State's Attorney Foster said there was only ono caso of larceny before the court but possiblv thero ought to be two -judging from developments. Judge Feck said that it was cloar tl)nt should be held to await the.ic- I tioii ot tnc grand jury and tlio prisoner was bound over in tho sum of $1000. In default of bail he was committed to jail. In tho afternoon McLaughlin was taken into court, at his own request when he pleaded guiity and was sentenced to serve two years' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Skins on Fire.
