To be Tried on the Charge of Drunk
enness-Horse Frightened at a Sail

The Cantata at the Congregational
Church.
Edward Mshoney of East Meriden was
arrested by Officer Martin yesterday and
will be brought before Judge Porter this
morning to snswer to charge of drunk
enneas. This Is a peculiar case. Mahoney
was arrested here for drunkenness several
weeks ago and at that time gave testimony
that caused the arrest of three of the ga,
loonkespers on Colony street for violation
of the Sunday liquor law. Mahoney's case
was continued at that time and he was let
go on his own recognizance. When the
cases of the three saloonkeepers were
brought up Mahoney failed to appear as a
witness and the cases were continued for
week. At the next hearing Mahoney
was absent and the cases were nolled, as
was the case against Mahoney for drunken
ness. Yesterday he was arrested on a new
complaint for the old offense and will be
tried for the same this morning. He has
been away from home for some weeks and
1t is supposed that he was kept away in
saloonkeepers could not be available in
court. What else will come out of the ar
rest can only be surmised.

| hose was attached to the faucet at Morse's
block next door ready for use, but the
burning woodwork was got outside the

alarm given but there was quite an e1cit
