Funeral of the Victim.

NEW MILFORD, Sept 13.-The funeral of John J. Waters, wh0 was murdered by young George Knowles, Wednesday night, took place to-day in Lanesville, and was attended by large number of relatives and friends. The Rev Mir Sanford, pastor of the Episcopal church conducted the services. In tile prelimi- nary hearing before Justice Levy yester- day afternoon the prisoners introduced the defense as it was expected they would. George said he believed his life was in danger when he fired the shot. He claimed that the men had threatened his life be- fore the door was burst open and that he fired the shot to protect himself. He swore that he believed that if the men succeeded in breaking open the doorway they would kill him. None of the prisoners have been able to secure bail and as it is so high it is more than psob- able that they will languish in jail until their trials before the higher court.

4 Wholesome Decision.

The decision of the supreme court in the Bion case is very healthy one for law abiding citizens. This man has vowed to kill Lyman Cunning of North Canaan. He attempted it more than once and served one sentence for it. He was given his liberty on condition that he would go abroad and he did sail from the country, but he returned again. In New York state he repeated his declar- ation that he would kill Mir Cunning, and then he came into Connecticut and Was caught near the Dun ming residence. Out west he would have been run up a tree by the neighbors. Here in Connecticut he was arrested and put in jail under such heavy bonds to keep the peace that it amounts to a sentence of Imprisonment. Application was made to get him out and the courts refused, and this decision the supreme court has just sustained. Mir Cunning can now sleep nights with less danger of being blown into the next world-a favor which BioD once under took to do to the whole household. The prisoner nurses his hate, and the day he does come out, if ever, Mir Cunning will do well to buy a pistol and load it. It may seem hard to keep him shut up just because he wants to kill somebody, but how about the lawabiding citizen who may not want to be killed?

Bissell,s False statement.

About two weeks ago Frederick R. Bisscll, self-styled private detective. informed Prosecuting Agent Niles of New Haven that in company with a Waterbury man named Cummings he had purchased liquor of George Stanford of No 70 Temple street on Sunday. Solely on this information, Mir Niles is: sued a warrant for the arrest of Stanford. The latter for time eluded the police by hiding in Bridgeport. Last week he came to New Haven and gave himself up. Subsequently he was seen in con- stiltatlon with Bissell. The case came up in the city court yesterday and Bis sell under oath stated that he did not know Stanford. he had never seen him to his knowledge and had never enter ed Stanford's saloon or apartments. As Cummings could not be found by the state the case against Stanford tumbled to pieces.

WORLD OF SPORTS.


 Hardie Richardson has made seven- teen home runs SO far this season, an d in 115 games is charged with but nine errors.
 A game that is creating the most in- tense interest in semi-professional base ball circles is that to be played at Plain field, N. J., Thursday, September IS. The game is to decide the interstate amateur championship of New Jersey and Connecticut. The contending teams will be the Norwich of Norwich. Conn, who have won their series from the Mystics and Hartfords, and the Crescent league team of Plainfield, who on Wednesday closed the unprecedented record of defeating once or more every team they have played against except the Norwich.
 The base hall outlook for next year is not very encouraging. There will prob ably be no Atlantic league and the only hope New Haven has for again becoming a base ball town is that an Eastern league may be formed by that time which will bring first class ball teams to that city.
 The Wilmington club has had 46 players and three managers this season.

AGAINST AGENTzCoLLEY.
Decision of the Supreme Court in the
 Celebrated Case.

ScACDEatou ShSS7s
 The supreme court of errors in session at Hartford yesterday, handed down their decision in the celebrated case brought by Liquor Agent Colley against D. F. Webster, clerk of the police court, to secure fees of the former, the payment of which was refused by the city finance committee. Judgment is advised for the defendant, reasons by Judge Car penter.
 It will be remembered that the board of finance refused to pay the February amounting to S2O0, fees for liquor prose- cutions. In February six of the cases were brought against John Pfaff. They were nolled for $100. and for his services Agent Colley demanded $60. The city refused to pay on the ground that as the six alleged viola tions of law charged to the account of Pfaff, occurred on the same day, the agents legal fee was $10 instead of $60. During the month of March three cases of a similar nature were brought against Thomas Kench and the agent put in a claim of $30 for their settlement. After securing legal advice the board of finance refused to pay the bills for Feb ruary and March and invited Agent Colley to bring suit.
 He was not slow to respond. | The services of Attorney O'Neill were secured and application was made to Judge Studley, of the court of common pleas of New Ha- ven, for a mandamus compelling D. F. Webster, clerk of the court, to pay Colley's fees. After looking over the papers Judge Studley sent the case to the supreme court which body decided against Agent Colley. The reasons in the case have not yet been received and it is not known or what grounds the action of the court is based.
 | Agent Colley when interviewed this morning said II have little to say about the matter. The only question involved in the case was whether pay ment should be made by the clerk of the police court or by the city through it's board of finance. I am glad that that point is settled" It is probable that Mir Colley will now bring suit against the city.

FORGING HE CRISIS.
The New scheme Which the Brick MRnu-

 lecturers Win Put Into Effect.
 NEW YoRK. Sept. l3.-The brick struggle seems at last likely to reach a positive crisis at very early day.
 The manufacturers up the Hudson have proposed new scheme to their colleagues which they say they will put through whether it receives unani- mous endorsement or not. Their yards will soon close and they intend to trans fer mon, horses and carts to this city, and thus handle the incoming brick themselves as fast as 1t arrives.
 By this method they will be able to fulfill their contracts with the builders by delivering to them direct, ignoring the middle men entirely, and placin s the boycotting laborers in a hopeless plight. The builders will embrace this opportunity eagerly, as the brickisyers have agreed to handle all the brick which may be delivered.
