NEW YORK, May 16.--Thei Herald
publishes an article headed Railroads

phonso Voullaire is confined in the

against him by one Michael Dillon.
Since his arreet the police have been in

valuable documents belonging to differ
emit railroad companies. Vonllaife had
been employed at different times by the
interstate commerce commission and In
the clsim departments of various rail-
roads The police investigating the loss
Of the papers found that every clue
pointed TO Voullaire.

OF the West Shore road, called ON voul-
lairs at the Tombs and offered to fur
nish bail for him IL he would return the
papers taken from the West Shore COM
pany. r. E Tldsn, of the New York,
Lake Erie and Western railroad, also
went to the tombs to discover, Ii pos
sible, Just what the prisoner had In his
possession affecting the Erie road. All
promises proved unayailing. Then, O.
District Attorney Weeks took his turn
at investigating. Voullaire admitted
that he had documents OF enormous
value to railroads, but he refused to
surrender them. On being threatened
he offered to give proof Of his assertion.
He would give an order on 3 woman
who had few papers In her custody,
directing her TO give them to the bearer.
The order was signed and the detective
obtained from the woman the papers
she had, including railroad pass issued
to United States consul in Canada and

In rates had been made for the benefit
Of certain shipping firms in fragrant vio-

POLICE COURT.

Michael Bowes and William Derwin
 Found Not Guilty of Burglary.
 When the case of Michael Bowes and William Derwin, charged with bur giary, came up this morning, Attorney Root only introduced Michael D. Rus sell as a witness. He said that the door leading from the hallway to the cellar of his place of business was always open that the other door, leading outside, was fastened at o'clock Sunday after noon, when he was there. Prosecuting Attorney Kellogg in his argument wanted to recall any statement he had made yesterday that he doubted there was sufficient evidence of theft. On reflection he thought this morning that there was. As to the burglary he thought the presence of the men in that vicinity was a sufficient proof of their guilt. Attorney Root combatted his ar gument by claiming that a burglary could not be committed while dool was open leading to the place of the alleged burglary. He said the state should prove that entrance was effected
 after dark to make it burglary. This had not been done and he asked for the discharge of the prisoners. Judge Cowell in rendering his decision saie
 that personally he was inclined to think
 the accused were with Mcdonald. bu | iudicially he could not convict then and he therefore found both not guilty. Wilson Futile, William Santanna anc
 James Collis were each fined S1 anC costs for drunkenness. Daniel GalviI
 had not sobered up sufficiently to bring
 him into court.

KELLY says there is-a dark horse to the water question. It is the artesian we'll system, He offers the following nine reasons fer supporting it:
 1st.-The cost for driving wells and get ting them in operation would be less than half the first cost for getting water from east or west.
 2nd.-The expense for operating would he considerably less than the wear and tear on piping between the city and the new reservoirs. ,,
 tory question. known as Ouassapaug, which is the only breathing place for our working people within sixteen miles.
 5th.-It would be more reliable in dry weather, as it would not depend on sur 6th,-Nine-tenths of the contagious dis, eases of the world have been traced back to impure water. Artesian well water is always pure, because it is not exposed to any Impurities until it reaches your table. 7th.-It is not new experiment. be- cause every factory in the city is using them and knows what they are.
 Sth.-We- are already equipped with
 nnmns and machinery, leaving only the one cost for drilling to furnish us all the water we need.

 NAUaATUcK, Dec 7.-Probably the most artistic concert ever given in the town was that of the Beethoven string quartette of New York, last night at the parish house. Such smoothness and precision, delicacy and shading, is sell dom attained. The solos, both violin and cello, were also rare treats.
 Tonight the Congregational church choir, the parish house orchestra, an ad- dress by the Rev M. Ellsworth, and a Swedish representation entitled "The Old Homestead" will be the attraction at the Swedish church fair at the opera house. This church society has debt of about $4 ,000, which the pastor, the Rev MT Beck, is trying to remove. If the criticism of the New York press | is to be believed "Wife for Wife" should be the best play brought here as yet this season. It is romantic, picturesque melo- drama, with enough comedy to make it a great success.
 The Union City larceny case was con- | tinued again until Saturday, to enable new counsel, who had been called, in to be present.
 A letter to the Rev MT Soule yester- day states that his mother and sister, who went to Colorado to spend the winter, are both in the enjoyment of good health.
