DANBURY. Jan 19.-For years past the
residents within radius of quarter of
mile of the mill pond near w. A. &,
A. NJ. Whites factory which is in the
center of the city have felt strange
quaklngs of the earth and heard I'M
common and unaccountable noises dur
ing all times of the day and night. The
more superstitious people attributed the
noises to some supernatural agency and
they would move into the To-
+cality only to get out as soon as
possible after they had discovered the
peculiar fact. Not until very recently
was the cause of what appeared to be a
phenomenon learned, then some one
suggested that ithe falling. of the water
over the dam from the mill pond on to
the solid bed of masonry at the foot
might jar the earth WHICH is cavernous
in that vicinity and such was the case.
Now all of the residents, are signing a
remonstrance against the dam as
the vibrations from the falling water is
weakening the houses, rafting the win
dows and household utensils, and prov
ing to be nuisance generally.

Neglect to Send Out a Flagman Causes
n Wreck at Chaplin.
Two local freight trains were in
collision on the New England road
about four miles east of North Wind
ham last night. One of the trains, No
POI, was for Willimantic and the other,
No 205, for East Hartford. They were
running thirteen minutes apart. The
head train stopped at Chaplin about $50
and the fagman did not go back to sig
nal the train in the rear. The collision
occurred with enough force to smash
two freight cars and the caboose of the
head train and throw them across the
track. The engine of the rear train was
not thrown off. One brakeman had his
knee sprained. The Washington ex-
press was delayed about two hours and
was the only passenger train interfered
with.
A locomotive on a west bound freight
on the New England road ran into a
blind switch at Cooks crossing about
three miles west of New Britain early
this morning and delayed travel several
hours. The 8 o'clock train from Hart
ford was over an hour late. The Long
Island express was also delayed until

LIQUOR IN DRUG STORES.
An Important Case Goes to the United
States Supreme Court.

An Important Case Goes to the United
States Supreme Court.
A case of extraordinary interest is
that of Masno P. Gray. plaintiff in error
VS. the state of Connecticut, which has
been entered for trial at the present
term of the supreme court of the United
States. DIR Gray is the proprietor of a
drug store in Mystic. 1t is one of the
strongest prohibition places in the state
and regularly votes in favor of mo Lii
cense." According to the Connecticut
license law a druggist, after having
passed an examination before the state
| board of pharmacy, must in no license
towns obtain what is called q ''drug-
gist's license" from the board of county
commissioners of his own county. IN
less he thus obtains a druggists license,
business, for without it he cannot sell
Intoxicating liquors, or mixed
liquors. So the law also precludes the
sale by him of ordinary tinctures. DIR
Gray, who was licensed by the state
board of pharmacy, failed to obtain a
| license from the commissioners; how
ever he continued to do a druggists
business in Mystic, and was arrested and
prosecuted before a justice of the town
of Groton. He took an appeal from the
decision of the justice and carried his
1aSe Ih'ouSll dIl tIe CONNECTICUT courts.
| The supreme court of the state was di-
vlded in its opinion, yet it upheld the
| original finding in his case. The issues
of the case have been so shaped now
that it IS believed that the supreme
court of the United States will be i'm
PEELED to render a decision that shall
find the exact rights of license or regis
tered pharmacists throughout the
country with relation to the sale and use
of spirituous liquors in the ordinary
course of their business.

KELLY RECOMMENDS

20 feet that part of South Main street be-
tween the City Corners and Smith s,
Griggs. According to Contractor Nc
Manus the estimated cost of this work
would be from 1928, 900 to $50, 900. To do
this work the town would give employ
ment to the $50 men thrown out of work
by the Brass company's fire and the 40 or
so men who are thrown out of work by
discontinuance of repairs on roads. All
these men have got to live and the only
way to live is to labor. This widening is
a public necessity and is made more so by
the fact that at present the horse railroad
utilities more than half the roadway at
SEINE points. Here is Kelly's point:
This work should have been done in the
first place and will have to be done some
time. Why not kill two birds with one
shot, by giving employment to these men
the next four or five months and at the
same time save the town large damage
that may attend any accidents which must
occur at this place in the future.
It is a favorable sign of the times that
never before has been such general, sin
cere and deep seated sympathy with the
laboring class, and h desire to better their
condition in every practicable way. There
will always be misfortune and vice, pow
erty and want, but we may regard hope
fully the work of Legislators, the press and
the pulpit for the improvement of man
kind. Employers are more considerate of
the men aud women who toll for them.
Everything is in the line of elevating labor
instead of degrading it.

The sranufaeture or WiId M,n.

There are many curious trades in the
world, but the most strange must surely
be the artificial manufacture of wild
men," Yet a well-known English doctor
in China has just certified from his own
personal experience that this art is
regularly practiced in the Flowery King
dom.
First youth is kidnapped, then bit
by bit he is fiayed alive, and the skin OF a
dog or bear is grated piece by piece
upon him. His vocal chords are next
destroyed by the action of charcoal to
make him dumb, and the double purpose
of causing "etiolation +" of the skin and
utter degradation of the mental facul-
ties is effected by keeping him immured
in perfectly black hole for number OF
years.
In fact, by treating him like brute for
sufficiently long time he is made into
one. At last heiist exhibited to the en-
tirely credulous Chinese as wild man of
the woods, and his possessors reap rich
harvest. The priests, it seems, are adopts
at the art. When kidnapper, how
ever, is caught by the people he is torn to
pieces, and when the authorities get him
they torture him and promptly behead
him. London Chronicle.
