CAMP vs cAMp,
The Respondent Contradicts Witnessei For the Petiti0nar .a

The Respondent Contradicts Witnesses
 For tile Petitioner.
 The defense began to introduce testi- mony in the Camp divorce case yester- day afternoon. The first witness called, Dr North, testified as to Mir Camps good qualities. Mrs Bertha Landman testified that she had never seen any improper relations between the defend ant and the widow, but on cross exami- nation the witness acknowledged that she had seen the defendant kiss Mrs PearsaI upon occasions when he went to New York.
 Late in the afternoon the defendant took the stand. He spoke in so low a tone that even the attorneys could hardly hear him. He tried to explain | away some of the damaging evidence which had been introduced. He flatly denied having any improper relations with Mrs Pearsall. He also said that hls wife had an uncomfortable temper and that she deserted him. Camp wal asked what he had to say about all the compromising stories which had been re lated by witnesses. He pronounced al as false. He admitted kissing Mrs Pear sail, and said that it had been his GUS tom to kiss the whole family and tha he made no secret of it. The case wal then continued until next Tuesday.

Victory For the New England.

The railroad commissioners have rem dered their decision regarding the build ing of the Black Rock bridge across the New England at New Britain in favor of the railroad company. The city claims that the railroad company had not observed their orders in the build ing of the bridge, and some time ago the commissioners went to New Britain and made an investigation. This de- cision makes the city liable for the pay ment of 10000, which is one-third the cost of construction, together with the accrued interest, making the total lia. bllities about $12, 1000, It is as yet unde- cided whether or not the city will carry the matter into the courts.

Another Mad Dog Scare.

PUTNAM, June 12.-The results of a run of a mad dog through this town are just appearing. His route lay through East Killingly, East Putnam, Quasic and East Thompson. He bit several dogs in each of these places and all that were known to have been bitten were eventually killed. Recently a hog owned Ly Calvin Munger of Quasic and cat owned by Joseph Randall at East Putnam, have developed signs of hydrophobia and have been killed. Several hogs in East Putnam are being watched closely as it is feared that they were also bitten. A man named Weeks was also bitten at East Thomp- son but as yet he has not experienced any inconvenience from the bite. The selectmen have ordered all dogs into muzzle and are taking precautionary measures.

The Hartford Team Transferred Intact to Portland.
 The Norwich team went to Hartford yesterday expecting to play game of ball, but the Hartford players did not go out to the ground, as they had no money to pay the $35 guarantee. Last night the entire Hartford team was en- gagged to go to Portland and they left this morning for the stone pits. Two gentlemen representing the Portland club were in Hartford yesterday and had consultation with the players. All of them have agreed to go to Portland. It IS barely possible that the league will 1 be re-organized on six club basis.
 Billy Higgins, who has been playing shortstop for the Lowells, was released Tuesday.
 Professor Dacey, light weight, of New York, and McManus, >smiddleweight, of Boston, met in the Willimantic opera house last evening for ten round con- test for points. On account of the gate receipts being light it was decided to make it a six round contest. There is bad blood between the men and they fought heavily. William Ford, the referee, decided it a draw at the end ot the sixth round although Dacey was much the better man at the end of the fight.
 The Waterburys and the New Bri. tains will play on the West End grounds tomorrow. The teams are evenly matched and good game may be ex' pected.

The amount necessary to pay these weekly is $320. In the ab- sence of any funds the men would have the alternative of quitting work or working on trust. Comptroller Stauh decided that it would be better to keep the building and grounds in good condi- tion and not to impose any hardship on the men, none of whom could well afford to wait months for their pay. and will therefore supply the money, trust mPnt

The Wholesale Dealers

Combination in SUGAR provided that they sell at the same price and get one quarter of a cent profit per pound.
 KELLY thought that price too high and went into the jobbing business, buying sugar in carloads direct from the refiners. The result is that Kelly has compelled the wholesalers to adopt his method.
 But KELLY can go the wholesalers one better. He buys in car lots and has his sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha- ven or Bridgeport and have to pay two feight bills and double carriage.
 KELLY further says before the city ex- pends large sum in the purchase of parks it would be well to secure few more seats for the green.

1T IA THE FOURTH.

It is Fourth of July. Tho fact is men
toned not with the idea that II had es-
capped anybodys attention. Only as n
pleasant bit of reiteration. If the calen-
dar had omitted the day, even, there 10
every reason to believe that the small boy
and the frecrnekers would have found it
out, 30 firmly are they intrenched in the
habit Of celebrating this particular occa-
sion.
The day calls for good deal of rcd,
white and blue. Some people prefer to
use up all the red within the twenty. four
hours and save the blue for the standard d
of repentance next morning. While this
is not treating themselves exactly white,
1t is yet celebration of certain kind, and
therefore figures in its own way in the
general order for the day.
Undoubtedly it is the proper thing TO
reflect ON patriotism to-day and, IL you
have time, to study tho Declaration of
Independence. It would not be safe to
assume that many people do read that
Justly venerated embodiment of demo-
cratic principles. They prefer living out
those principles in the FREQ country from
which the Declaration sprang. And in do
ing that on this holiday they are very apt
to be doing the most patriotic thing pos
sible. They are indulsing in pleasures
and pastimes which 60 to mako them con-
tented with life; and with q contented
people happiness, prosperity and,
therefore. patriotism have the best
chances for continuance and growth.

dark and 80 far removed from the currents OF

for tho rats and spiders and reaches that

And this is Mott street, the abode Of an old

little Joe playing with an engine one OF the
hospital doctors had given him for keeping

For every heart quickened by happiness ten

ten who missed the strawberry feast. His

Joe cries rs he thinks It all over, and when
enough money is put into his claw-like little
hand TO pay for whole crate OF berries the
mother begins to weep.
You can't guess the deplorable condition OF
these four people. The white hair and scanned
face Of the mother, the anxiety OF her helpless
daughter, the Dloodless figure OF the four
year-old boy and the cruel deformity OF the
elder child arc pitiable to contemplate.
When It was suggested that Joe be sent to
the Hospital for Crippled Children, the poor
little fellow begged "to stay with mamma
You could not make him believe that he would
be tenderly cared for, that the doctors would
be very kind, or that they would help him to
get strong and grow straight like other boys
nor could the mother be induced to give him up,

feed her children and keep n roof over
their heads. And yet something must be
done. The conditions under which they are
struggling are killing them all, for from one

and not breath OF clean, sweet air reaches
them. They never have drop OF clean, cool
water to drink, nor particle OF food that is
appetising and nourishing.

done with poor Joe's spine, but the Children's
friends, the lovers OF humanity, the compass

at least; they should be moved out OF their
dilapidated home; they must have food,

THREE OHILDIsH OFFENDERS,

Three children of tender years broke
into North Woods cottage and COM
initted slight depredations. They we're
detected, threatened with punish
ment, and determined to die. Being very
young and unknowing. they took Paris
green enough to make horse sick, and
accomplished nothing more than the
turning of their stomachs inside out.
Attention is here called to this little in
cident to intimate that the interests of
morality have probably been we'll
served in this instance. The childish
offenders tasted crime before they
were old enough to realize what
it might eventually mean. They expert
enced painful consequences at just such
an age as to impress them strongly that
they had struck path in which it would
not be wise to continue.
Through the poisons which turned their
stomachs it is more than likely that their
hearts have been early turned from error.
