KENNEDY AND cLYMA CASES.

Tho Latter Repeats His Words That the
 Lawyer Ought to Go to Wethersfield.
 William Kennedy, the town attorney of Naugatuck, who was accused of ob- talnlng money under false pretences, was yesterday acquitted in the Water bury superior court, now in session at New Haven.
 The trial of Editor Clyma of the Naugatuck Citizen, who is charged with criminal libel against Attorney William Kennedy and Officer William Brophy, then commenced. The state introduced as evidence copy of the Citizen of August go, 1891, in which an article ap- pears derogatory to the character of Kennedy and Brophy and accuses them of blackmail and extorting money from a certain prisoner whom Brophy ar rested. The state rested after introduc- ing the article in question and the de- fence was begun, Editor Clyma being put on the stand in his own behalf.
 He testified that reports of a damag- ing nature had been prevalent against these menl for several months. to his knowledge, before he published the ar tlcle on which the suit was founded. He said he meant at the time of writing them, the words to the effect that Ken nedy ought to go to Wethersfield and emphasized his remarks by saying "and l think SO now"
 The witness said that he had published a number of articles against certain of the town officials, particularly the jus tloes, who he stated had formed a ring against the public welfare.
 'There are," he said, ''and have been a great many crooked proceedings going on in Naugatuck on the part of certain town officials, and considered it my duty to expose them all in my power" !" %
 To-day the question of admission of e eVideuce as to the truthfulness of the pablisht d article was discussed at great length. Attorney Baldwin contended that If the charges were true there was no libel. State Attorney Terry opposed this view, and judge Robinson also took a hand in the argument. He said that an article may be the truth and yet be hbelous. "I don't think so,' said Attorney Baldwin. For instance" added the judge, 'sif paper should print daily or weekly that man just released from jail was a jailbird, wouldn't that be libel?" "I don't know" said Baldwin, without committing himself. The judge con cludeded by saying that he would give the accused the benefit of all doubts.

 General dissatisfaction is expressed over the contemplated action of the New England road officials in regard to the passenger train service of the vest ern division. The two trains which it is proposed to discontinue, probably on the fifteenth of this month, are very popular and great accommodation to Waterbury, and in fact every place along the line. Many business men, who wish to go to Hartford or Boston, find the 9:05 morning train just about right, while the train reaching here from the east at 5:15 in the afternoon is also one that cannot be spared. It is probable that the board of trade will urge the road officials to leave the pas senger schedule as it now is.

He did not see the boy or know anything of the accident until it was all over.

ROADS AND SEWERS THE THEME
Many Minor Matters Considered By the
 Boards Last Night,

Many Minor Matters ConsId cred By the
 Boards Last Night. ...- .,.
 Tie road and sewer boards held their regular meetings last mig ht.
 The petition asking for a sewer from North Willow to Spring street was first considered. The council authorized the laying of the sewer from the middle of West Grove street to Sperry strC ct and no further. Commissioner Stevens thought, however, that the sewer should be built through the entire street. At the the suggestion of City Engineer Cairns the matter was laid over for one month, that he might look it up and re- port.
 Mrs A. M. Vomweg was given per- mission to connect with the sewer on James place.
 A petition for sewer in Crane street from West Main street to the Naugatuck river, was presented by E. D. Steele. He was referred to the council.
 The property owners on South Elm street were given hearing with regard to making the street of uniform width. The only opposition was that the abutters did not like to pay any ben efits. The matter was laid over until the next meeting. .a -...-,. .
 Street Inspector Wright was ordered to do the work on South street, ordered by the council; also to cut down several trees on Prospect street, which stand on the sidewalk. He was also authorized to visit the property owners on Hillside avenue who have not laid sidewalks as ordered, and notify them that unless they do so within thirty days the city will do the work and place a lien on their property for the amount. Per mission was given him to have a stea m pump put in at the Cheshire notch,

Mccarthy.
 Richard Latron came from Ansonia a few days ago and since then has been trying to drink up all the Waterbury fire water. He was taken into quod yesterday. One dollar and costs was the sentence.
 Martin Dumphy was charged with breach of the peace, committed in his brother-in-law's saloon in Brooklyn. He was fined $1 and costs.
 Niccolo Mccarthy was arrested last night by Officer w. Brickel, for being implicated in a fight near Plume 6 At woods factory. The officer did not see the fight, but found the Italian covered with blood. The prisoner claimed that he was assaulted by four or five fellows, who beat him unmercifully. Judgment was suspended in his case.
 A case which calls for the prompt condemnation and severest punishmsnt came to light to-day. Ellen Taylor, a IA year old girl, was employed for some time in the McCauley family in Water town. She ran away from there a short time since and entered the home of Ed ward Archer, on. the Watertown road. Strange stories began to float around, and the girls uncle, John Wallis, hear ing them, had writs issued for both her and Archer's arrest. The latter learned of the writs and, it is said, sent the girl away. The uncle traced her to this city, where she was found m the old Griggs stone shop on Division street with Joseph Wells. This morning she had a quiet hearing and was taken back to Watertown, where Archer will be prose- cuted.

The Slayer of Jack Calvin Thinks He
 Has Suffered Enough.
 William C. Souder, who was con victed two years ago of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in State prison, for killing Jack Calvin, of this city, has given notice that he will apply for a release at the next meeting of the state board of pardons. Calvin. who was an "all hot" vender, was stabbed in the head by Souder, as the result of an argument over some of the formers wares. Souder, who comes from a prominent Pittsburg family, was an in- mate of the Hartford inebriate asylum at the time and had strayed away from the grounds. .-..
 James F. Taylor of New York, who was convicted in 1887 of murder in the second degree and sentenced to state prison for life, will also petition the board for pardon. Taylor and his pal, Henry Chamberlain, were the men who murdered Margaret Ernst, an old Ger man woman of New Haven, for her. money, which they secured and fled to New York. They were captured by h. spector Byrnes' men and brought to New Haven, where they were tried and found guilty. At the trial it appeared that Taylor was made the tool of Cham berlain, who led him into the crime.

The astronomers Of the naval observa-

the field Of view, SO as to divide the lat
ter into mathematical spaces. Threads
Of cobweb are employed for the purpose
because they are wonderfully strong for
their exceeding fneness, and also for the
reason that they are not affected by

Specimens were obtained from China
because it was imagined that the large

best web is spun by spiders Of the United
States, such AS are plentiful in the neigh
