How Connecticut's Vote Wan Catl Again*! the neiunra, HARTFORD, Oct. 7. —Returns from the towns that cast two-thirds of the State vote last year show that the vote on the prohibitory amend ment is about three to one against. These towns give an aggregate ma jority of 20,000 against the amend ment. Only ten towns so far re portod gave a majority. In the principle cities the vote was Hart ford 1,010 yes, 3,263 no; New Haven 2,66.'} yes, 6,671 no; Bridge port 2,620 yes, 2,384 no. The secret ballot law received its first trial. There was no excite mont at the polls. The plan worked surprisingly well. A gentleman of Montoursville bagged twenty-two pheasants in one day last week. It has been said by an attorney in this vicinity that the time has not arrived for lawfully killing pheasants. We can positive ly say that such is not law in Lyeoming. If we had not been misinformed we could have bagged 48 in one day providing the bag had been large enough. Tae election proclamation, one divorce application, one as.»i 1. No i)iililio good was served or de manded by the exposure, and the two men, one old nnd tho other young whose personal afl'airs were laid bare held no public posit ions and were not in any sense in public life or before (he public. One had been at one time superintendent of Bloom ingdale Asylum; the other was a yo;'.ng clerk who had foolishly con tracted a secret marriage. Both men, though far apart in all that related to their lives, were so wrought upon by publicity tlmt they killed themselves. The shrink ing from the feeling, never pleasant, that people were talking about them made life an intolerable burden. Such sensational publications are r.n outrage on private sights. They are no part of the duty of journal ism. The publication of bad lives and base, hurt who it will, is. Sun light makes all life purer. Men and women keep straight because if tliey go wrong the world will know. Ihe social and innocent life of the day deserves and demands its constant record. But the printing of a sen sation for the sake of a sensation hns no justification. THE HAHCASE. ICobcrt ICnj- 41»iiii|ion Endeavoring to \IIIIIII filis 71 3irr»i»u«*. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Robert Ray Hamilton has finally begun his ac tion to relieve himself of his disre putable wife. To-day complaint in tie suit brought by him to annual his marriage with Evangeline L. Steele, as she called herself, found its way into the supreme court. The papers were presented to Judge Patterson upon, an application for an order for the services of the sum mons by publication, and tiie order was granted. The complaint sets forth that Robert Ray Hamilton has been a citizen of this state for more than twenty years; that the defend ant is also a citizen of the state; having her domicile here, "but is now temporarily absent from the stat-e." The story of the marriage is told again substantially as it has been published, and the phuutilf claims that his consent to the eero mony was gained by his wife's repre sentations that she was with child. She also represented afterwards that a child had been born to her. Her representations are believed in both cases to be ialse. It is also stated that at the time of the marriage and prior thereto the defendant had a husband living and that on January 7, IS.sO, the date of Hamilton's mar riage, the former marriage was still in force. An affidavit by Joseph Kungmann is among the papers to the elfect that lie has been unable to make a personal services on the de fendant. On this affidavit Judge Patterson directed the summons to be published and a copy of the pap ers containing it to be mailed to the defendant to the county jail at May's Landing, N. J., and to the state prison at Trenton, N. y the of the Coiumunw>;nlth ot I'eunaylvvinin. it ig made the duty of the Sh< rig of every county to give notice of a fren emt olncfioi, by up t ilh in tho i\> A pjhhe p lac cm o" by publication in one or u r< .. v. sMf . ir »lu« countv •ri- jt twenty day* in hi.*; the election nnd to enumerate the oflieorf to !»♦' elected aud to designate tho places at which she fiction is to he held, Therefore, T, Henry Tripp, High ShcrifT of Sullivan county, do hereby make known and proclaim to the Warburton school house.
