The Charges Against the Connecticut
ChIldren's Aid Society Being Investi-
gated.
HARTFORD, March THE state board of
charities held another important session
yesterday afternoon to consider further the
case of the Conue cticut Children's Aid So
ciety.
1t is claimed that this society is doing n
children's brokerage business, obtaining
children from New York and other cities
and placing them out in Connecticut and
other states.
SO far the society has refused to give in
formation as to its operations to the board
of charities. Yesterday Secretary Whittle-
sey reported to the board that he had got
names of Il number of children placed out
by the society, but that Miss Josephine L.
Griswold, in charge of the office here, had
refused further information. Mrs Virginia
T. Smith, formerly city missionary is re-
ported to manage the New York end of the
society's affairs.
The state board went into executive ses-
sion to determine what steps to take to
divulge the required information, The
society was refused charter by the last
general assembly.
Secretary Whittlesey also reported that
a woman who is employed at the Tolland
county temporary home has an illegitimate
child which is supported with her. The
woman was sent there by Mrs V. 7. Smith.

TROUBLE AT THE JAIL.
County Commissioners Investigating a

County Commissioners Investigating a
Charge against Night Waterman Hotch-
kiss.
An investigation into the charge of bru-
tai assault preferred by Owen Clark against
Ernest Hotchkiss, one of the Waterman at
the New Haven county Jail, was COM
menced yesterday by the county commits
sioners and Sheriff Tomlinson. The as
sault is alleged to have been committed
last Thursday, when Clark visited the Jail
for the purpose of securing the freedom of
prisoner, George Herman, by paying his
fine.
just what led up to the assault is at
present shrowded in mystery, but the facts
remain that Clark was severely injured
about the head and Mr. Hotchxiss has been
suspended by the sheriff and is still under
suspension. In speaking of the matter
yesterday afternoon Sheriff Tomllnson
said: The proceedings have been con-
Quoted privately, and Hotchkiss is still
under suspension. Clark has brought a
suit for damages, and we do not intend to
put any obstacle in the path of justice and
on account of the suit we have decided to
let the courts decide the matter Hotch-
kiss will remain under suspension until
the courts have made a disposition of the
case. We have completed our investiga-
ton, but shall take no action in the matter
until later"
Clark refuses to say anything in refer
ence to the matter, but has retained coun-
sci and will bring a civil suit for heavy
damages against Hotchkiss.

TURF PHILOSOPHY.
A mistake is apt to attract more al

A mistake is apt to attract more atten-
ton to us than virtue.
Continued padded entry lists have ruined
the attendance of many tracks.
To know how a horse feels, learn how
you would feel in the same condition.
If more judgment were used, our coun-
try roads could be greatly improved with
out any additional expense.
From the age OF 81 years a well bred colt,
properly handled, should do enough work
about the farm to pay for his keep.
Breed for brains as well as speed, as it is
necessary that they be combined in the
horse that is to be a money winner.
Whipping makes confirmed shiers, be-
cause the horse connects the pain with the
object of his fear and is more afraid of it
thereafter.
Whipping a shying or frightened horse is
senseless and cruel. Pain does not relieve
fright, but the assuring voice of kind
driver does.
There are many trotters that can't trot,
and it is also true that there are many
trainers that can't train and many drivers
that can't drive.
A bird in the hand has always been worth
two in the bush, and a mare that has proved
her capacity to produce speed is worth sew
eral excellent prospects.
Man and horse are wonderfully alike.
Whatever distresses one would distress the
other. God designed them to be the best of
friends, and to abuse a horse is mean and
cowardly to the last degree.
Nine out of ten buyers would rather Sc
lect horse that could brush $40 gait on

which could go at the rate of 10 seconds to
the mile faster, but which had to be armed

FRIGHTFULLY BURNED.

Timothy j. Calvin, a Casters Tender,
Covered with Molten NJ. tai.
Timothy J. Calvin of 81 South River
side street, a tender in the casting depart
ment at Randolph & Cloves factory, met
with frlghtful accident while at work
this morning. The caster was preparing
for an extra heavy tube casting, and had a
$50 pound pot of molten metal ready to
pour off. The metal was heated to 5000
degrees Farenheit. Calvin took pair of
tongs in his hand and stepped up to catch
the pot, when about 100 pounds of the
molten metal flew around him like a
shower of birthstone, setting his clothing
on fire and burning his body in a shocking
manner. The unfortunate man turned to
run into the yard, but his fellow workmen
came to the rescue, and quickly tore his
clothes off, thus saving him from almost
instant death. 1t is supposed that there
must have been little water on the tongs
which caused the explosion. The man
fortunately turned his head "a little at the
time of the shock, and avoided getting
badly burned on the face. He is burned
on the forehead, neck and arms and his
body and limbs are in bad state. Fortu-
nately his eyes escaped. Calvin was at
tended by DIR Frost and will be sufferer
| for several weeks.
