Then what Is to be done in the case.
Is there to be no bridge built. no coun-

simply that and nothing else. The
Legislature has tied the hands OF the

number OF officials created by the

POLICE COURT.
A wild Scene on the Circus Ground
Last Night:

A@HsC Night
Police court was held this morning at
$3.50 in order to allow the members of
the bar to attend the funeral of Attor-
ney Thomas Donahue. Stephen Mozart
land and David Kenny, charged with
drunkenness, were fined 81 and costs
each.
Last plight almost riot took place on
the grounds where Burk's circus was
giving an exhibition. Officer Noonan
was doing duty on the grounds when
word was brought to him that a man
had been killed by one of the circus
hands, in the rear of the big tent. The
officer rushed around to the place and
found John Ryan and a man named
Connor lying on the ground. Ryan was
bleeding profusely from a wound in the
head and Connor was suffering from a
bruised shoulder. Both said chat a
colored man who escaped, and white
man whom they pointed out, were their
assailants. The white man was then
welding a stake around his head and
when the officer tried to arrest him he
darted into the tent. Officer Noonan
followed him and then the 5000 specta-
tors saw something not down on the
program. The officer proved that he
was a sprinter of good speed, and he
finally overlook his man. The latter,
who had been shouting for the show
hands to help him, suddenly turned and
dealt the officer glancing blow, knock
ing off his helmet and again darted away,
He was captured, however, but was re-
leased when he was taken outside, as
the injured men said that he was not
their assailant. In the meantime the
mob outside, had increased in numbers
and were becoming more riotous. A
message was sent to the police station
and a squad of officers under Sergeant
Dodds hurried to the grounds. Search
was at once begun for the colored man,
who seemed to have been the principal
aggressor, but he could not be found.
1t was learned, however, that the white
man whom Officer Noonan had released
was one of the right parties, and search
was begun for him. He was found by
Officer Noonan hiding behind some can
vas in the dressing room. He was
taken to the station house, where he
gave the name of Frank Carson. While
the officers were looking for their men
the circus attaches kept up a continual
shout of "Shoot Them" "Kill them. -
AS the officers emerged from the tent
with their prisoner the crowd outside
gave vent to their satisfaction by shout
ing: Lynch him." 'Hurrah for the
Maurice Noonan." The circus mana
gers claim that the crowd outside cut
two of the guy ropes holding the tent
in place and if they had cut the third
one, connecting with the center pole,
the whole tent would have collapsed
with terrible results. 1t is said, how
ever, and there are several witnesses to
prove it, that the ropes were cut by the
circus men themselves, in order to show
some provocation for their assault.
This morning in court Carson was
charged with assault in three cases. He
was only fined for assault on the officer,
however, as there were no witnesses In
the other cases. One dollar and costs
was his fine.

CHILD ASSAULTED BY A TRAMP.
A FrIenzIed Father Threatens to Take
tho Law Into His Own Hands.

A FrieDzIed Father Threatens to Take
the Law Into His Own HRnds.
A revolving crime was committed yes
terday in Middlebury. William john
son is young farmer who lives mile or
two off the Middlebury road, with his
wife and three children. Yesterday
afternoon the oldest child, bright little
girl of years, and her brother, two
years younger, were playing in the
brush a short distance from their home,
when a dirty-looking tramp came on the
scene and outrageously assaulted her.
He then warned her not to tell her
parents.
The little boy was witness to the
crime and returning home with his sis
ter he tried to tell his mother, but it was
impossible to understand him. Several
hours passed before the father came IN
from the fields. He noticed that the
little girl was not acting as usual and
hearing the little boy prattle about some
man whipping his sister, he questioned
the girl and soon had the whole horrible
story. Instantly he started in search OF
the tramp, but so long a time had
elapsed that the brute had made his es.
cape. The almost frenzied father drove
with all speed to Waterbury and notified
the police.
The girl described her assailaht as be
ing very dark and having some beard or
his face. To-day farmers are securing
the country in every direction and il
will go hard with the wretch if cap
tured. The father threatens to shoe
him on sight. The girl is seriously ill.

LOOK OUT FOR THIS FRAUD.

a Bogus Pension Attorney Secures $3
From "a South Main Street Woman.
Miss Mary Hills, is widow of war
veteran and lives at 900 South Main
street. Yesterday a man giving his
name as A. II. Raum and claiming to
be son of Gen Raum, the pension COM
missioner, called at Mrs Hills home and
told her that he would see that she was
given pension. He produced several
papers which led the woman to believe
that he was as he represented and
accordingly she arranged with him to
act as her attorney. He said that the
fee would be So and she gave him So, all
the money she had in the house. Last
evening she told a friend about the
matter who, having read about the same
impostor, told her that he was a fraud.
Accordingly the case was reported to
the police. Detective Egan was as
signed to work it up and if possible
capture the fellow. He visited every
hotel and boarding house of any i'm
portance last night, but failed to find
him. The man is described as being
about five feet seven inches in height
weighing 155 pounds and about forty
five years old. He has dark brown
mustache and side whiskers, and wore
a dark evening sun hat, dark cutaway
coat and trousers.
