CUMMINGS CAPTURED.

A Clerk at the Waterbury Drug
store Detected Stealing.
For some time past Manager Dikeman
of the Waterbury drug store has
noticed that the cash receipts We're con-
siderahly less than the amount of bust
ness done would seem to warrant. He
began search for the leak and few
days ago arrived at the conclusion that
a clerk in the store was appropriatlng
the firms money for his own use.
Yesterday morning when Charles
Cummings was alone in the store, MIR
Dikeman called upon Il friend and gave
him marked silver dollar, with in
structions to go to the store and pur-
chase a certain proprietary medicine, of
which large stock was carried, the
price being $l.00 bottle. Shortly after
the purchase was made Mr. Dikeman
went to the store and upon investiga-
ton discovered that the money had not
been placed in the drawer.
Cummings was charged with having
stolen the money, but Indignantly
denied his guilt, until confronted by MI
Dikeman with the evidence, when he
confessed to the theft and said he had
been helping himself to small sums oil
the firms money for some time.
1t was decided not to prosecute Cum
mings, and he left for Holyoke last
night.

A New Haven Man Fires Two Shot
AT His Wife.

A New Haven Man Fires Two Shots
AT His Wife.
Yesterday afternoon, John l.. Jude of
New Haven fired two shots at his wife,
neither of which injured her fatally.
Jude and his wife have not been living
together for some time. He had begun
an action for divorce on the ground of
adultery, and the case was to have been
heard in the superior court to-day. AT
the time of the shooting Mrs Jude was
at the residence of Mrs Henry Seeley, at
20 Perkins street, where she had been
stopping for two weeks. Her husband
owns meat market and was delivering
goods at the house. He says that his
wife had been circulating stories about
him, and when he saw her yesterday be-
| came greatly excited and fired at her.
He surrendered himself Immediately
| after the shooting, and was held for
| trial on the charge of attempted MUIR
der. Mrs Jude is a good looking woman,
% years of age. Her husband celebrates
his 25th birthday to-day. His friends
say his wife's unfaithfulness has de-
| ranged his mind and that he is not re-
sponsible for his acts.
A serious accident occurred at Rock
vile yesterday afternoon, which may
cost one person her life. Mrs Austin L.
Edgerton was returning from a visit to
| friends when she was run into by a
drunken man who was trying to race
her and the shaft of his sleigh pene-
| trated her back. She was removed to
her home and medical aid summoned.
| 1t is thought that she will recover, un-
less blood poisoning sets in. The wound
made by the shaft is a terrible one.

NOT DISCUSSED IN THREE YEARS,
Consolidated Road Directors Not
nj

Consolidated Road Directors Not
Meddling in New England Affairs.
Manager futile said yesterday that
the Consolidated road would not take
any action in experimenting the men
who perpetrated the bogus agreement
for the alleged sale of the New England
road last week. If there was anything
in this line to be done, it was the bust
ness of the New York stock exchange to
proceed. Mr. futile said that he knew
that the directors of the Consolidated
road had not discussed the affairs of the
New England road with any interest for
three years.
Another gentleman connected with
the road said that Consolidated road did
not wish the New England. There had
been no plan to acquire the New Eng
land any more than there had been to
control the Boston and Albany. In his
opinion, to take the New England,
would be on the same basis as if the
United States took the Dominion of
Canada.
The experiment would be a dear one
for the United States, as our govern
ment would lose more pecuniarlly than
they would gain. So with the New
England. To operate it would mean
loss to the Consolidated. He had no
doubt but the agitation of the bogus
sale had permitted the holders of New
England to unload at a very fair profit.

Mrs John Rand of Essex, whose elope-
ment was reported the other day, has
returned, and hes erstwhile disconsolate
spouse has forgiven her and is happy
again. Mrs Rand begged for pardon,
promised never to do SO any more, re-
nounced the young man who enticed
her away, and her husband concluded
he couldn't do otherwise than take her
to his home again. The young man in
question appeared on the scene the next
day and he also petitioned for forgive
ness, and after he had taken several
iron. clad oaths, he was permitted to re-
sumo his former position as contiden-
tial friend of the family. How well he
kept his obligations is told by the hus-
band. Il had to overlook it," he said,
''because he seemed so sorry like, but
darned if he didn't go to work and treat
me mean. When he came down to my
house my woman wouldn't even look at
him, and so when he gave me a quarter
to get half pint of whisky l felt safe
to trust them together. l got the liquor
and when it was drunk up, was feelin
pretty good myself and gave him a dol.
lar to git quart with, and hain't seen
him or the dollar since"

Unwilling to COMPROMISE.

HARTFORD, Jan 23.-It is said that
the republicans are ready and willing to
declare all state officers under the gov
ernor elected, if the democrats will con-
cede the election of General Merwin, the
republican candidate for chief execu-

to do. A number of the democratic
candidates for state offices have been
heard to say that they will not sacrifice
Judge Morris to help themselves.

hospital, suffering from hydrophobia.
He fingered in terrible agony until this
morning when he died. The doctors say
the sight was one never to be forgotten.

IN MERIDEN.

MERtDEN, January est rained ''big
guns" here yesterday and Harbor
brook rose two feet in two hours. At
noon time the water was within two
inches of the main belt of the Britannia
shop and when the men returned from
dinner the belt was cut in order to save
wetting, SO those who depended on it
for work had to lay off the rest of the
day. The Meriden Silver Plate company
had to shut down their works on ac-
count of the flood of water in their es-
Enlistment. Many houses and barns
hereabouts were flooded.

oUsAToN1c DAM WRECKED.

BIRMINGHAM, January 22.-The sever
est freshet known to those regions in
years occurred last evening, due to the
immense rainfall during the entire day.
The damage done will count up greater
than any disaster which has fallen upon
this community for a great many years.
The most serious was the damage done
by washing away between $50 and 200
feet from the east end of the big dam
across the Housatonic. This happened
between Z and 8 o'clock in the evening:
the volume of water coming down the
river then was beyond description. That
the entire dam did not give way is
almost a miracle. And it is thought the
remainder, some 600 feet, will stand,
though there is still an enormous pres.
sure brought to bear. Provided there is
no further damage done to the struc-
ture, it is estimated that it will cost $780,
600 to make the necessary repairs.

There is but little doubt but that many
persons suffer for years with ailments that
could easily be cured by the use of some
simple remedy. The following incident is
an illustration of this fact: My wife was
troubled with pain in her side the greater
part of the time for three years, until cured
by Chamberlain Pain Balm. 1t has, I
think, permanently cured her. We also
have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
whenever needed and believe it to be the
best in the world. p. M. Boston, Penn

SULPHUR SPRINGS.

The writer, feeling the need of little
rest, on last Sunday hied away to the clas-
sic shades of ''Soap Creek The words of
praise that have been spoken in favor of
the popular resort in this vicinity, Sulphur
Springs" have not been an exaggeration,
for we have here, in Benton county, a sum-
mer resort which I believe cannot be ex.
celled or equalled anywhere on the coast.
No one can drink from this health restoring
fountain long without receiving lasting
benefits. 1t is to be hoped that soon steps
will he taken to make this place so attrac-
tive that people from abroad can be accom-
modated and receive It's benefits, as well as
the people of Benton county. More than
$50 persons were on the grounds last Sum
day, including people from all over the
county. During the day neat and in
structive programme was arranged and car
ried out to the entertainment of the appre
ciative and intelligent audience present.
Mr.. E. F. Wiles, solid citizen of the
vicinity who has done much to make this
resort an attractive one, acted as master of
ceremonies with ability and dignity. Music
was furnished. both vocal and instrumental,
and short addresses made by Tolbert Car
ter, of Wells, c. c. Hogue, of Corvallis,
and J. Rogers, of Kings Valley. The wri-
ter can heartily recommend this as the
''place" to go to spend either few hours or
days for pleasant recreation. The water
from these springs, as health restorative,
cannot be beaten.
