POLICE COURT.
A Sixteen Year old Boy Under Arrest
 For Theft.

A Sixteen Year old Boy Under Arrest
 For Theft.
 In the police court to-day Michael Keefe, aged 16, was charged with the theft of pair of shoes from Geraghty's store on South Main street. The shoes were stolen Wednesday and Detective Egan was detailed on the case. Both shoes taken were for the left foot. Yesterday afternoon the detective mo- ticed three boys loitefing around the stores on South Main street. EXamin- ing their feet closely he discovered that one of them, young Keefe, had shoes that were apparently new. He arrested the boy and taking him to Geraghty's s store, the shoes were recognized as the ones stolen. This morning Keefe claimed that boy named Woods stole the shoes and sold them to him for fifty cents. Keefe was above the age to be sent to the reform school, but Judge Bradstreet adjourned the case for a week to allow Chief Egan to see if the authorities at tho reform school would not receive the boy, he having been re- leased from the reform achool on pro- bation, two years ago. The authorities at the institution were notified of the decision of the court and this afternoon an officer came over from Meriden and brought the boy back to serve out his original sentence.
 William Kelly, "Red,' is once more in the tolls. He was arrested last night by Officer Moore while begging on the street. He was intoxicated at the time and this morning was charged with drunkenness and vagrancy. He was given thirty days and costs for drunk enness and sixty and costs for vagrancy

 The state Sangerbund met at New Britain yesterday. There were repre- sentatives from ten societies, the Man nerchor, Sangerbund and Einbracht of Hartford, Concordia and Lyra of this city and one each from New Britain, New Haven, Seymour, Thomaston and South Norwalk. The chef question was as to the holding of a state conven- tion and it was voted to hold festival at New Britain at some time not yet fixed, but during next summer. It was also voted that each society should select its own song for the prize contest, and that no professional singers would be allowed to compete. A measure to exclude all but Germans from active membership, was opposed by the Concor- dia delegates and was voted down after a long discussion. The Germania of Bridgeport and the Arion of New Haven withdrew from the association. A supper and dance followed the business meeting.

 Our magnificent Hankerchief Window which has been ad- mired by all who have seen it, is but reflex of our grand stock numbering about Two Thousand Dozen. Prices range from 5c to $500.

J. B. GLOVER APPOINTED KECEIV.
Err NJ. & N, G.. r. X.

MIR. J. Bolan Glover, of Marietta, was
last Monday appointed temporary receiver
of the Marietta & North Ga, Railroad Com
pany by Judge Newman of the United
States court in Atlanta
We agree with the Constitution when it
says that the appointment is an eminently
fitting one as Mr.. Glover is and has been
since its construction superintendent of
the road. and is therefore thoroughly post
ed on its condition and resources. That
he will give complete satisfaction in the
position is doubted by no one.
At the hearing Mr. H. B. Tompkins ap.
peared for the Central Trust Company,
who filed the petition asking for receiv~
er; Hon. A. s. Clay, Marietta, for the
railroad, while the bond holders were rep.
, resented by Judge Adams, Savannah; Mr.,
Hoke Smith, Mr.. Alex King and Mr.,
Jack Spalding.
The appointment of Mr.. Glover was by
consent of counsel. He is restrained from
paying any of the loads debts, save neces~
sary expenses and holds the position pend.
ing the hearing of an application for per-
manent receiver and special master, which
is set for January 3lst
He gave 500. 900 bond and has enter
ed uDon his duties
This road comes under the jurisdiction
OF three United States districts-the north
ern district of Georgia, northern district Of
North Carolina, and the eastern district of
Tennessee. Ancilliary bills had been filed
in those courts simultaneously with the
application in Judge Newmans court, and
in those districts the judges, in answer,
will concur in Mr.. Glover's appointment.
From all indications the stock and bond
holders will oppose the application for a
permanent receiver. They consented to
the Temporary appointment so AS to pre-
vent any minor litigation arising.
This case promises some Interesting de-
velopments, and strong fight is looked
for when the question of permanent res
ceiver comes up, as there are numerous
creditors Of the read in Tennessee, North
Carolina and Georgia, who hold that they
have claims which demand as much cons
sideratiop as the Central Trust Company
