GREENwIcH, Conn, Feb. 4.--Charles
E. Waterbury who abducted his cousin,
little Ward Waterbury, was arrested
last night. This morning Waterbury
and McCann and Sutherland, his con-
federates, were arraigned in court.
After several witnesses were examined,
Little Ward Waterbury was put on the
stand. The boy told his story in a
manner, and adhered to
the facts. McCann was then called,
and his recital Mortified the audience.
Charles E. Waterbury's alleged plan to
murder his little cousin, provided $4,000

through the people in the room. The
little boy positively identified McCann

given at the preliminary examination
in the police court. His testimony to-
day was to the following effect: 81
could not tell which of the two men
saw fred the shot. but when the shot
was fred a short man ran away. He
wore long coat and 'd;cer' hat"
Witness identified the coat which was
shown him, but not the hat.
81 heard the officer say: You had
better come along now.' The lat l saw
of the man running away was when he
was near Lambert's stable. on Folsom,
near Fifth street. Officers Bode and
Allen were following him. When 1
turned the body of Policeman Grant over
his star was in plain sight ON his
breast. / picked up Grants hat
and gave it to officer Bode, and helped
put the body in the patrol wagon.
Then 1 went to the police station. On
my way home with friend, we passed

licemen looking for the pistol. 1 saw
something glimmering and found a
Smith & Wesson five-shooter, 3S calibre.
l took it down TO the police station.
Three chambers had been discharged.
1t was about five minutes after the
shooting that picked up Grants hat.
There was sort of smouldering fire
burning in it. l was at the police sta
tion for about ten minutes. l saw the
prisoner brought in. He wore the same
kind of coat and hat as the man who
was with the officer. Toomey, who was
with me, followed the running man, and
lost sight of him. There were three
shots fired, two in rapid succession and
the third after lapse of few seconds"
On cross-examination by Attorney

CALIFORNIA SUGAR RATE.
Kansas Towns Have Jumped from the
Frying Pan into the Fire.

Kansas Towns Have Jumped from the
Frying Pan into the Fire.
KANSAS Cry, Feb. 4.-The California
sugar rate was under consideration by
Transmissouri association today, the
committee having suggested the advisa-
bility OF raising the rate from 65 cents
to 81 to Missouri river points, as
was predicted when the Kansas COM
missioners ordered that the rate to
Wichita and Salinas should be reduced
and not based on the Missouri river
basis, with local added. Final &C.
ton was not taken today, but it is
thought the suggestion will be put into
effect, in which case it will practically
drive California sugar out of Mis-
souri, river markets, and Kansas
towns will be obliged to buy
eastern sugar, as California
refineries will sell sugar in this territory
orlv delivered at the Missouri river.
1t looks as though the Kansas wholesale
towns had got themselves into worse
FIX than ever. With no California sugar
in the market, prices will go up on east
crn refined, and the interior towns will
pay the extra cost.

POLICE COURT.
A Watchman Shoots One of Crowd Who
Tried to Effect an Entrance Into the
Picnic Grounds

Watchman Shoots One of "a Crowd Who
Tried to Effect an Entrance Into the
Picnic Grounds
What came near being a fatal shoot
ing, occurred last night at the West End
grounds. After the picnic was over, two
watchmen were left in charge of the
grounds. Patrick Mccarthy was one of
the two. Shortly after IL o'clock seven
or eight young fellows approached the
gate where Mccarthy was on guard and
attempted to enter. The Waterman
protested and drew revolver to pre-
vent an entrance. Among the crowd
was Dennis Fitzgerald. He was stand
ing outside the gate when suddenly a
shot broke the quiet of the night, and
Fitzgerald fell against the fence. He
was assisted by his companions to DIR
Donahues Office where it was found a
bullet had penetrated his left cheek and
lodged back of the left ear. The bullet
was extracted without difficulty. This
morning Fitzgerald claimed that Nc
earthly placed the pistol close to his
face and cursing him fired. Mccarthy
denied this and said he only fired to
scare the crowd away. He was twenty
two years in Waterbury and never was
arrested before. He told such a straight
forward story that the charge of assault
with intent to kill was quashed and
simple assault substituted. He was
fined $25 and costs.
Aldace A. Lowell exhausted his
capacity for drink and succumbed on
East Main street. He was asked to paw
S. and costs.
Chauncey Monroe hailed from Wood
bury and succeeded in taking a few
independence cordials, which cost him
81 and costs.
James Kelly did not heed the warning
yesterday morning of having Judgment
suspended and as consequence he was
called to pay SIS and costs.
Michael O'Donnell tried some John L,
Sullivan tactics in the Brooklyn district
but was rudely interrupted by the Off
Ger. One dollar and costs was his por-
tion.
Joseph Jonkowsky, although not a
native born American, yet possessed all
the enthusiasm of that great race and
proceeded to scatter torpedoes around
promisclously. When rebuked by Officer
Reid, he showed his foolish enthusiasm
by throwing bombs at the officer. 1t

SUNDAYS TERRIFIC STORM.
A Cyclone of Great Force Sweeps
Through the Naugatuck Valley


Through the Naugatuck Valley
During the storm Sunday afternoon a
gale struck the city from the west, with
real cyclonic force, about 4:20. Coming
across the West End grounds the fence
was levelled for about 100 feet, the
scorers stand thrown down and badly
broken, the canvass of a large tent
which had been erected for the games
torn through the center, and a stout
center pole broken in three places.
Reaching the center of the city large
tree in front of F. B. Rice's house on
Church street was twisted and torn.
One of the pinnacles at the base of this
spire of st Johns church was dashed to
the ground; it weighed several hundred
pounds and was braced with heavy
irons. A large elm in front of Mrs John
Hendricks was torn from its bed; an
other across the street from the Bronson
library, nearly three feet in diameter,
was broken off about fifteen feet from
its base and lay across the walk and
street railway. On the other side of the
green a splendid tree in front of the Y.
M. @. AS new building was felled. Two
large trees in front of P. J. Bolan's, on
North Main street, were blown down,
and the shade trees on Grand, South
Willow, Hillside avenue and North
Main streets were more or less damaged
by having limbs torn off. The large
bill boards on Cedar street were blown
down; j. B. Mullings' awning was torn
off and several cases of slight damage
can be traced in the path of the storm
which was about half mile in width.
The towns to the east and north report
trees blown down, houses unroofed,
windows broken, but as far as heard
from there were no injuries to persons.
AT Bantam lake barn was burned by
the lightning, and at Hancock station a
whole orchard was cut down. Large
hailstones fell at Litchfield. At Lake
