NlANTlC STATION ENTERED.
Camp Followers Suspected of Having
 Stolen Railroad Tickets.

Camp Followers Suspected of Having
 Stolen Railroad Tickets.
 The railroad station at Niantic was entered by burglars Wednesday night. The ticket case was broken open and about 125 tickets and possibly a few pennies were taken. No attempt was made to open the safe. The tickets were divided between Mantle and thirty-three other stations, all on the New York & New Haven railroad and it's divisions. The numbers of the stolen tickets have been given to the conductors and any attempt to travel on them will result in detection. It is believed that the burglary was the work of some stranded hangers-on of the state encampment.
 The brigade camp ground was cleaned up this week. It took a large force of men two days to get all the tents safely housed. Scarcely had the military left the camp when the scayengers put in an appearance. The whole camp was searched over and over again with a possible hope that something of value might be found, but their pickings were poor, broken bottles and glasses being | the only riches to be found.

CONNECTICUT AT CHICAGO.

Tracy Brothers Report Progress on the
 Worlds Fair Building.
 The Tracy Brothers of this city will not be able to finish the Connecticut state building at the Worlds fair at the specified time, September 20, through no fault of theirs. They have been de- layed by the commissioners themselves having the wiring of building done. They will have everything finished, however, by October 1. The plumbing is about finished. Tomorrow two of MT Taylor's painters will start for Chica- go to commence the painting of the building. The people of Chicago are asking hundred per cent more for all work that is being done in that city than would have to be paid for the same in Waterbury. They are evidently of the opinion that this will be the last time that Chicago will have a Worlds fair and they propose to make the most of it,

STRANDED IN BRIDGEPORT.
Women Who Went on tE
 Couey Island Excursion

Waterbury Women Who Went on the
 Coney Island Excursion.
 Two women who said that they be- longed in Waterbury canvassed Bridge port for subscriptions yesterday. They said they were left behind by the excur- sion to Coney Island on Wednesday and wanted money enough to get back home. They told the story that when the steamer landed they got off, and while waiting for the train took a stroll around the city. When they returned they found the train had gone without them. They had only their excursion tickets and no money and were there fore very much frightened. According to their story they walked up and down the streets most of the night, finally winding up in Seaside park, where they sat till morning. Then when the stores were opened one of them found five cents in her pocket with which half a pound of crackers was purchased. They then originated the idea of begging enough money to secure their purpose The story they told was evidently honest and they attracted considerable sympathy, raising the sum they re- quired in a short time. One woman ap- peared about 20 years of age and the other somewhat older. Both were tastefully dressed, though in picnic cos tune, and the younger was decidedly good looking. She gave her name as Rogers. The other was reluctant and withheld hers.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA.
Secretary Lindsley of the State Board
 of Health Talks.

TnCSNO IOlNO H0NiNOi Sl1OLCFA. Secretary LindsIey of the State Board
 of Health Talks.
 A special meeting of the state board of health will be held in Hartford to- day to consider plans to prevent the lngress of cholera into this state. Or c. A. Lindsley has prepared a circu- lar treating on precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease should it make its appearance here. It will be read and some action upon the adoption of its suggestions will prob. ably be taken.
 Dr Lindsley says: Many people be. lieve that cholera cannot be imported into any country, while others believe that it can be and that it is especially dangerous to permit rags to land which have come from infected districts with out being thoroughly disintected be- fore landing, especially where they come from infected regions regions with no certificate of disinfection. I do not think there is any danger in allowing members of the crew to land, providing they are not allowed to bring any baggage with them, and providing further, that no one has been sick oI board during the trip. My reason fol feeling this is because cholera germs in cubate in five days, and the voyage usually takes anywhere from five weeks to five months, and in consequence were any of the sailors affected, the dis ease would have shown itself before their arrival here. There is danger however, of the germs having beer kept alive in baggage or in the bundles of rags which, when opened, allow tn, germs to come to life. It was in thi way, by means of sailors baggage that yellow fever was introduced t. this country in 1795 and sixty-fou deaths resulted. All baggage should b l thoroughly disinfected.
 I consider that there is more dange of cholera becoming an epidemic thi year in this country then ever before | owing to the fact that more immigrant are coming to this country from in fected district than at any previou year.

An exchange says: "Luciers Minstrel company exhibited in the opera house Wednesday evening before a large au- dience. This is the third time this com pany has been here in the past two years, but it has presented different pro- grams every time.

The fine music was the leading feature" The show will be the attraction at the opera house thts evening.
 'Uncle Hiram."

Evidence Taken Before the Allegheny
County COur5 Yesterday-Isms Will
Sue for Damages.
PITTsBURG, PA, October Sl.-The case
Of ex-Priyate W. L. Iams against Colonel
StreatOr ct al. was continued this morning.
Major General George r. Snowden ap-
peared In the court room for the first time
since the opening of the trial. He was
naturally the object Of great attention, not
alone for his connection with the Ease, but
for his prominence as commander Of the
State army at Homestead.
EX-PrivaJe Iams was put on the stand
again and asked where he had performed
the picket duty on the night before he went
to sleep. he was not positive that he did
perform picket duty on the night before he
went TO sleep. On cross examination he
said he had been advised TO make the suits
after be was discharged.
Frank @. Jacobs was the next witness
for the prosecution. He was private Of
Company X, Tenth regiment. He saw
Iams in the guard house while on duty.
He also saw Iams hung up by the thumbs.
He was hanging to the ridge pole Of tent.
His thumbs were tied by a loop knot
The tips Of Iams' toes alone were on the
ground. Iams was splitting tobacco juice.
n
asked for it. Almost Immediately before
Iams was cut down Col. Streator said to
the doctors that if the prisoner hung
longer it might injure him physically.
" nen Ians was cut down ho sank TO the
ground. Witness did not hear Iams say :;
"When Col. StreatOr got through amusing
himself be can cut me down." Had
heard Iams say: "If StreatOr expects to
make me take back what l said he can
cut me down dead"
Robert V. Kent, private Of company K,
testified that he had heard Col. Streator
say; ''Do not let him hang long enough to
DO any material injury" Iams was at
once cut down.
Judge Porter here made rule, at re-
quest of the defendants, that Iams be
asked whether il was his intention, in case
he secured the conviction Of any one of the
defendants, 70 institute civil suit for dam
ages. He replied that it was. The court
said it was not a proper question under the
law but was permissible at the discretion
Of the court to show the jury bias on part
of the witness, who is also the prosecutor.
Court here took a recess.
