BEARING NEW ENGLAND.
The General Manager Says That 1t ]
Done BY a Rival Cornoration.

The General Manager Says That 1t Is
Done BY a Rival Corporation.
General Manager Howard of the New
York and New England road says that
he has reason to believe that the at
tacks which are sprung upon this man
agement and the market values of this
property are for sinister purpose, and
are really in the interest of another cor
poration, which desires to put the New
York and New England road into such
a condition that it can be controlled and
handled on lower basis than it can be
bought for in the market to-day. The
interests which are seeking the control
of this property may find it profitable to
sell this per cent preferred stock under
par, but do not think the honest in
weston can afford to do SO, nor do /
think stockholders should be misled by
these stock market attacks, which are
really made for purposes which do not
appear on the surface"

Two small Boys Admit Having Placed
The Obstruction On the New England
Road Tracks They Are Committed to
the Reform School.
When information was given at the
police station yesterday that an attempt
had been made to wreck the noon train
on the New England road, near the
Waterville dam, Detective Dodds was at
once detailed on the case. Before this
morning by efficient work he had cap
tured the guilty ones, who proved to be
two boys named Charles Mclaughlin
of Bishop street and Michael Donnolly of
Hopkins street, each about II years old.
Donnolly was arrested at his home
about 12 o'clock last night by Officers
Dodds and McNif. Mclaughlin was
not at home when the officers called,
but when they returned an hour later
the boy seemed to be watching for
them. He darted out one door as the
/ officers entered another. Officer Nc
| Milf gave chase and captured him.
Both boys admitted the attempted
wrecking, but said they only did it in
fun. This morning, through Attorney
Root, they pleaded guilty, claiming that
they only did it to see the train stop.
| Attorney Root made strong plea for
Donnolly, as widowed. mother de-
pended in part upon him for support.
Judge Bradstreet said he could scarcely
overlook such dangerous sport; ne
/ thought the effect OF the punishment
would deter others from committing
similar offenses. He sentenced both to
the reform school. .s ,
I Walter Foley, hostler, was charged
with the theft of wagon-Jack from
Philip Mclean and with assault on
John Gilbert. The, story came out that
Foley, who worked for Mclean, left
i him week ago to work for Edward
Gagain. After he left the wagon-jack
was missing. Foley claimed that the
/ jack was given to him while he worked
for Mclean by a venaer of ladders and
chairs, whose horses. he used to take
care of. In regard to the assault he
claimed that Gilbert circulated stories
about him and had him discharged.
He went there last night and rebuked
Gilbert for it when atight eusued and
he was arrested. Foley was found not
guilty of theft and was fined 81 and
costs for assault. z.+ SIS gSz Il s-s 4

lets her GO. 1t is difficult to tell
whether the ball comes from his hands
or his feet.

THE aFoRr BALLOTS WE'RE LEGAL.


This Il the Unanimous Decisfon of the
Judges OF the Supreme Court.
NEW HAVEN, June 3.-Decision was
rendered in the famous Branford
election case to-day. This was the
case Of Fields vs. Osborn and
Northam. The last named were
elected selectmen ON citizens ticket
which contained the words: ssFor"
Judge of Probate Henry III. Stedman.
Field was the regular democratic candi-
date for selectman and contested
the election ON the ground that
the word ssfor' made the ballot
illegal, and also that the office of Judge
of probate was not being contested for
and Stedman's name should not have
appeared on the ticket. In the decision
rendered to-day judges Carpenter,
Loomis, Torrance and Chief Justice
Andrews all agree that the word ssfor'
did not make the ballot illegal, and that
Fields had no cause for complaint. This
decision is regarded as a great victory
by the republicans.
