Irrigation and Precipitation.

The precipitation system of disposing
of sewage, which was adopted by Provi-
dence several years ago, is not giving
satisfaction. The Providence Journal,
referring to the different systems in use,
says: The several methods of purifica-
ton of sewage were fully discussed at
the time the report upon the improved
plan for the sewage disposal was made.
The report states that sewage is more
fully purified by irrigation than by pre-
cipitation, but that the large amount of
land required could not be obtained at
any. reasonable cost within reasonable
distance of the city. This is the crucial
test of irrigation schemes, and more
than one plan of this nature in England
has been abandoned, mainly on account
of this difficulty, although there has
been an objection to the proximity of
irrigation works to residences which is
not SO strongly urged against works for
disposal by precipitation. The only
reasonable objection urged against the
precipitation scheme is that it does not
thoroughly clarity the eff1uent.

FIENDISH BRUTALITY,

A Terryville Boy Plunged Head First
Into "a Tub of VitriOl.
BRISTOL, October 16.-The news of a
fearful outrage, in which the brute has
SO far escaped punishment for his crime,
reached here this morning from Terry
vile. Yesterday afternoon James A.
Bradshaw, an engineer at the works of
the Eagle Lock company at Terryville,
left his engine room and started to walk
through the different departments of
the shop. Arriving at the dipping room
he saw w. A. Hough, a lad of II, at
work over his bench cleaning portions
of locks. He ordered him to go to an
other part of the shop and do something
for him, which Hough refused to do.
AS Bradshaw had no authority to order
the help of the factory around except
those who are working in the engine
room, the men at work with Hough
in the same room told him not to do it
but to stay where he was at work and
finish his duties. Bradshaw became in
censed and Selling the boy carried him
to large vitriol vat near by and raising
the boy high in the air dipped his head
repeatedly into the vat of fiery liquid.
The boys screams were agonizing and
when Bradshaw finally dropped him he
was blinded and unable to see. Brad
shaw left the room and returned to his
engine room where he locked himself in.
The matter was reported to the authori-
ties of the shop and medical aid sum-
moned. The boy was taken to his home
where it was found that all the hair of
his head had been burned off and his
scalp fearfully burned while he will
lose the sight of both eyes. The flesh
of his face is badly eaten and should he
recover he will be terribly disfigured
Bradshaw was Immediately discharged
from the employ of the concern and 81
far has escaped arrest. The authorities
have been notified. Bradshaw is 81

REDWOOD FALLS, MINI, Oct 16.-Wil-
liam Rose was hanged shortly after mid
night this morning at the jail here. The
execution took place under the law
which provides that criminals must be
executed between the midnight hour
and 10 o'clock in the morning and out of
the sight of newspaper men. The crime
of which Rose was accused was the
murder of his sweetheart's father, John
Lufkin. He was tried three times and
the governor reprieved him twice on the
eve of his execution. After Rose had
been convicted the second time Mis- Luf-
kin went to Chicago where she ended
her life by cutting her throat. Rose
always protested his innocence and left
letter saying that farmer named
Glove committed the crime,

Mr. Case filed a demurrer Judge

lay in bringing the case before the SUI

question at stake might be the sooner de-
cided.

FROM HARTFORD TO NEW YORK.
Relays of BicycIists VIII Attempt to
Make the Run in Eight Hours.

Relays of Bicyc1ists Will Attempt to
Make the Run in Eight Hours.
Preparations are in progress for test
of the bicycle as message carrier, whio b
il carried out as contemplated, will be
one of the greatest feats on the sill, mt
steed ever attempted in this state.
It is intended to carry message from
Hartford to New York city, distance
by road of something like 1913 miles, in
side cf just eight hours.
The first messenger will leave the rooms
of the Hartford Wheel club, Hartfo1 ,
about 6 o'clock in the morning, starting
for Meriden. Captain G. II. Wood or
one of the other flyers in the Hartford
club will be the man to convey the mis-
sive. He will ride as fast as he can and
when Meriden is reached another mes
senger will receive the document from
him and ride for all he is worth by the
shortest and quickest route to New Ha-
ven. The bearer of the dispatch from
Meriden will in all probability be J. E.
Brainard of that city. At New Haven
the message will be turned over to Cap.
tain II. B. Hewitt or some other fast
rider of the New Haven Wheel club, he
will whisk away to Bridgeport. He will
| be met at the Atlantic hotel corner by
one of the racers of the Bridgeport
Wheel club. The following five mem
bers have made application for the
honor of conveying the important docu
ment to Norwalk: w. R. Middlebrook
w. NJ. Richardson, F. E. Soule, w. S
Mills and Julian Sterling. The choice
will probably be left with Presiden
Calhoun Latham to decide. At South
Norwalk the Bridgeport messenger will
be relieved by S. G. SeeIey, the grea
road racer of that city, who secured thu
third place in the recent Boston roat
race. Mr. Seeley will bear the messag,
with all possible speed to Stamford
where William Van Wagner, the cham
pion road racer of America, will take i
and whirl it into New York city at
three minute mile gait.
One object of this test of speed is t.
ascertain in what time message coul
be conveyed from Hartford to New
York should some calamity paralyze tn
working capacity of the railroad or tele
graph systems. Another object is t
show the superiority of the bicycle owe
