Animals Tried for Grimes.

In the middle ages the Mower
animals were frequently tried, con.
victed and punished for various Of
lenses. Mr.. Barring Gould has coll
Iected some curious cases of this
lind. In 1866 pig was burned at
Fontaney-aux Roses, near Paris, for
having eaten 0 child. In 1856 q
Judge Of Falsise condsraned a SOW to
be muiilated and hanged for 9 s!m!-
lar ofIense. Three years later q
horse was similarly tried before the
magistrate and condemned to death
Tor having killed . man. During
the 18th century oxen and cows
might DO legally killed, whenever
taken in the AGA Of marandipg; and
asses, for the first o6ense, had one

asses enough 10 commit q third Of.
Tense, their lives became forfeit to
the crown.
"Criminalv animals frequently
expiated their offenses, like other
other malefactors, on the gallows,
tut subsequently, they were sum-
MARTY killed without trial, and
their owners mulcted in heavy
damages. In the fifteenth century
1t was popularity believed that cocks
were infinitely associated with
witches; aud they were somewhat
credited with the power Of laying
sccursed eggs, from which sprang
winged serpent. In lss4, Mt Bale,
cock was publicly accused Of hav-
ing laid one of these dreadful eggs.
He was tried, sentenced TO death,
aud, together with the egg, was
burned by the executioner in the
marke, place amid a great concourse
OF people. In 1884, during the witch
prosecutions in New England, dog
exhibited such strange symptoms OF
affection that he was believed to
have been ridden by n warlock, and
he was accordingly hanged.
Snails, flies, mice, ants, cater
pillars and other obnoxious creatures
have been similarly proceeded
against and condemned TO various
punishments-mostly in ecclesiasti-
cal courts. And, stranger still, in
animate objects have suffered the
same fate.
In lass, when the Protestant
chapel at Rochelle was condemned
to be demolished, the bell thereof
vas publicly whipped for having
assisted hcretics with its tongue.
After being whipped 1t was cate
chised. compelled TO recant, and
then baptized and hung up In q
Roman Catholic place'of worship.
Probably similar absur,iities may
have been perpetrated in our own
country; for il must be remembered
that only in the present reign was
the law repealed which made a
cartwheel, a tree or a beast which
had killed a man forfeit to the State
for the benefit OF the poor. IL has
been said that punishment is not
likely TO be efficscious unless il
swiftly follows the ofiense. This
was improved on by Barbary Turk
who, whenever he bought fresh
Christian slave, had him hung up|
by the heels and bastinadoed, on the
principle, it Is supposed-tho0gh the
application Is decidedly singular
that prevention is better than cure. |

New Haven Business Men Interested
Meetings to be Held Every Thurs
day Evening.
The second public meeting of the pro-
posed Building and Loan association was
held last evening at 8 o'clock at the hall
corner of State and Elm streets. The hall
was well filled with an intelligent assem-
blage, intent upon learning the workings
of such an association. The meeting was
a public one, and the various temporary
officers of the organization made answer
to any and all questions concerning the
benefits to be derived from membership in
such organizations. Extracts from the
annual reports of various building and
loan associations in other parts of the
country were read, showing how prosper
ously they were working in those
sections. Many of the audience
awaited themselves of the privilege of
asking questions, and listened attentively
and thoughtfully to the replies as they
were made. Much enthusiasm in the
cause was manifested, and there is no
doubt but that the association will be an
assured success. Some of the business
men of the city are becoming interested in
the project, as was demonstrated from the
fact that Mr.. Mcintyre of Mcintyre, Ma
guire & Co., Mr.. Cannon of the firm of
Cannon & Burton, P. J. CronaIi, the pa
per box manufacturer, and 1. Newman of
Messrs. I. Newman & Sons, were among
the members enrolled at last nights meet
ing About fifty others also handed in
their names to the association as members.
The next meeting of the association will
be held at the same place next Thursday
evening at 8 O'Clock.

JOHN L., THE ACTOR.

Proctcr,s Crowded Last Evening"
The ex-PuSilist I'm n New Role-An
Enthusiastic Audience.
An immense and enthusiastic audience
greeted "Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands, last evening at Proctor's. Of
course John L. Sullivan, ex-pugihst, actor
at present, was the drawing card and he
frequently drew out vociferous applause.
As an actor Mr.. Sullivan will never acquire
the force or finished technique that he had
in his former profession or the stage ease
and grace that his friend Duncan B. Har-
rison, author of the play, possesses. But
there is something magnetic in that name
John L. Sullivan for drawing crowds, in
whatever role the hero may be playing,
either the gloves, the stage or umpire of a
ball game. 1t makes no difference
what it is, that wonderful example
of physical power can not help but
win admiration. The support all through
is generally good, particularly Miss Carrie
Strong, who takes hard part we'll The
play has but little if anything original in

suit those who We're to take the parts 1t

Mr.. John H. Washburn, the new man
ager of Proctor's Opera house, this city,

About Brick.

The cost of North Haven brick shipped
to New York is about 50 thousand. 0w-
ing to the increased cost consequent on
transportation contractors in New York
who have been here this week hesitate to
buy them. Millions of brick made near
this city have, however, been sold in New
York, Mamoroneck and Mount Vernon.
The firm of Davis Brothers sold last year
400, 900 brick, which were used in Mamar-
oneck 1t costs seventy-fve cents a thou
sand to transport brick in the cars from
the yards near this city into the city and
81 IS per thousand to transport them to
Milford, and only about sixty cents addi
tional to transport them to New York. -.

She Runs a steam Engine.


To see woman running an engine in
real life is genuine novelty. The fair
sex occasionally run engines in novels, on
the stage, and so on, but real, live female
engineer is a new sensation. OF course,
this one is in Chicago, and, of course, she
is young and pretty. They always are
The romance of the case is, however, cut
out by the cold blooded announcement that
she is not doing it to save husband,
lover, or fathers life of liberty. She is
purely mercenary. The stipend drawn at
the end of each week is all that she is af-
ter. Her name is not known. Perhaps
this is where the romantic part comes in.
Perhaps otherwise. Be this or that as it
may, she is flesh and blood reality.
When q reporter fol the Herald called at
the place where this novelty works he
stated his business to a young lady clerk,
and asked to see the woman who runs the
engine.
IA lady is our engineer Uttered the
clerk, but she is busy and can't see any
reporters"
t'can she be seen:" was asked-
NO." was the answer. ''She will sec no
and then she will be found ready aud
anxious to answer all questions"
The lady engineer, as she is styled, has
had charge of the Bee Hive laundry engine
for about three years, during which time
she had no trouble and has apparently
been well able to attend to all the duties
devolving upon her. Her principal claim
for competency, hewever, is that she has
taken her engine apart and placed it to-
gether again without seriously damaging
its component parts or detracting from its
power. Questions to be propOunded to
her by the reporter We're furnished by an
engineer, but she declined to answer any
questions at all unless they came from the
board of engineers. These queries were
regarding her knowledge of how to figure
on her safety valve, her boilers horse
power, and her engines horsepower. That
she can demonstrate properly ON all these
intricacies she does not doubt and Is anN-
ious to have the board of examiners pass

ANOTHER srRIkE.

Lake Shore Syvftchmen Go Ont
Their Position, However, Is Not In
dorsed by Their Organization and
the Movement is Likely to Prove
Only Another Fizzle-No Interior
ence With Passenger Trains.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Some switchmen in
employ of the Lake Shore road went out
on strike last night, and so far as Chicago
is concerned the traffic of the road is at
standstill The men quit because the
management discharged employees who re-
fused to haul cars from the district within
the jurisdiction of the idle men at the
yards
Superintendent Amsden took a crew of
men down to the stock yards yesterday
afternoon. just before reaching there,
the men quit and left their engines stand
ing on the track. Sometime afterward
another crew was started but abandoned
the engines at 43d street. When the night
shift came to go to work, they learned that
Superintendent Amsden had discharged
all the men who had left their engines.
They Immediately held meeting and
the men in the yards at Twelfth street,
Forty-third and Englewood walked out in
body. A general meeting was called at
the corner of Sixtythird street and Indi-
ana auenue and communication was
drawn up and addressed to Superintend-
ent Amsden, in which it was stated that
the men would return to work when those
who had been discharged were reinstated
To this communication Superintendent
Amsden replied that the men had been dis
charged for refusing to perform their
duties. On receipt of this news, the strike
fifty switchmen employed on the Lake
Shore road this morning, half of which
number, the superintendent thinks, will
hold their work. The night and
day switchmen are about equally
divided and only the night men
have struck thus far. The day men have
left their engines to attend a meeting in
progress at Sixty-third street and Went
worth avenue, the result of which is not
yet known, and out of the twenty-three
engines that should be working at this
time only only three are at work.
The superintendent of the road is of the
after they leave the meeting now being
held, but that they will resume work bet
ter satisfied than before
The passenger trains are all running on
time. There is no change in matters at
the Chicago and Alton road this morning,
everything remaining practically as it was
yesterday.
The conference at Sixty-third street and
Wentworth avenue was attended by about
sixty switchmen belonging to both night
and day forces. Thirty-four of them
signed a paper agreeing to return to work
and the remainder decided to side with
the strikers. There was no particular
change in the situation at the stock yard.
Everything was quiet and the engines
manned as they were yesterday and doing
whatever work is needed.
