DpspERArE BURGLARS.

They Rob a Store and ShoeT n Omeer
 In Springfield - One Captured ID
 HartfOrd-Red Pepper In An Omcers
 Eyes.
 Two burglars who attempted to rob Steele's wholesale fruit store in Sprlngheio night before last and shot policeman m inc hand were found in Hartford on the cars yesterday morning by two Hartford police men. Officers Maloney and Hetherton.
 Maloney and Hetherton nabbed the men and took them to the waiting room in the depot and searched them. Enough was found on the men to convince the othcers that they had the right persons, and as Con- stable Hetherton was obliged to take the train then about to start, Maloney placed the men on the seat beside him, to wait for Officer Johnson to come and assist him ID taking them to the police station. They had been waiting but short time when Malo- nav,s attention was attracted from the pris- oners. Quick as flash one of them pulled a handful of red pepper from his pocket and dashing it in the officers eyes turned and fled. The pepper completely blinded Ma loney and almost maddened hinswith pain, but nOtW1GnStanO1uS HIS SuAoIIAiS AO P1uohAy grabbed the other man just as he was about to follow his companion and held him until assistance arrived. The officer then placed him in an express wagon and took him to the Hartford police station.
 Maloney's eyes were completely filled with the pepper and he could not see anything about him. Drs. Fuller and Fox were called and removed the pepper from his eyes, which were by this time in 8 terrible condition. After making him as comfortable as possible Maloney was removed to his home where he will be obliged to remain for several days be- fore he can use his eyes.
 The man whom Maloney so pluekily held to was taken before Chief Packard and gave his name as Albert Wright. He said that he was 19 years old and left Bridgeport, where he had lived some time, Wednesday morn ing, and went to Springfield. At the depot he met the other man, whom he did not know. Neither told the other his name. They talked for some time about things in general and finally the matter of en- te1ing the store was preached. Wright said he could not tell who first spoke of it, but they went and attempted the burglary. He stated that he had worked at Bridgeport as a painter and in the shops, and knew all the officers of the police force there. Wright was locked up to await the arrival of Spring field officers.

The managers of Yale observatory have concluded to. continue to furnish standard time for Connecticut, although the legisla- ture, by cutting off the $2,000 appropriation last winter, practically said the State didn't want to pay for it any longer. Under the specific appropriation plan now in effect for State expenditures the observatory men may find it difficult to get any back pay next winter; yet their service is unquestionably a valuable one and should be fairly paid for.
