for many months past have been grad

States circuit court yesterday Judge
Foster heard the application for tenn
porary injunction against Eugene Debs
and 900 others, railroad employees, to
prevent interference with the opera
ton Of railroads in Kansas for
which receivers had been up.
pointed by the court, In the
proceedings yesterday for issuing
formal temporary injunction, Judge
Foster intimated that the verIAcation
attached to the bill was not sufficient
to Justify an injunction. The restrain
ing order against eight Of the defend
ants was dissolved, as II was shown
that their names had been improperly
included in the petition. The hearing
In relation 10 the other defendants was
deferred until next Tuesday to give the
United States attorney time to prepare
proof 1t Is not ut all probable that
the cases postponed will be pressed for
trial by the government, as the nscsS

Selection of Candidates for the Brigade
 Contest.

soiecsion oi Shhaidnt6s Tor The Brigade Contest.
 Orders have been Issued for the first regimental shoot, which is to be held for the purpose of selecting a team to compete in the brigade shoot. which Ii to take place on the new brigade range at Mantle next October. This first trial contest will be held at Quinnipiac range next Saturday. Teams from all the local companies will be entered. Other trial contests will be held later at Waterbury, Meriden and wallingford. Those who make the best showing in these contests will, in September. enter n fnal competition shoot for positions on the regimental team.
 More interest will be taken in these contests, for 1t will be the first time that the brigade shoot has been held on neutral ground, us heretofore these con- tests have taken place on the First Regiment Armory range at Hartford. This, naturally, has tended to discour- age the marksmen of the other regi- ments, as the First regiment men hold the advantage of practising there all the season.

IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
Expert Opinion of the Automatic Gallows
 in Colorado.

jn Colorado.
 Dr. J. W. Dawson. physician and surgeon of the Colorado state peniten- tiary. where all people condemned to death In that state are executed, has written to Warden Woodbridge of the state prison about his observations of the working of the automatic gallows, after which the new galIows at Weth- ersield was modelled. He says:
 There have been seventeen execu- tiors within the walls of the Colorado state prison at which I have been present. have witnessed public execu- tons before both from the drop and from being jerked up. and none were more satisfactory than that now in use here at the Colorado state peniten- tiary. The working of this machine has the advantage over all others for the reason that the one in charge of the moose. by watching the hand on th. dial can tell the very moment when the drop Is going to fall, thereby aiding him at that moment to have the knot properly in place, which should be at the angle of the lower jaw. In all the cases above referred to I have found upon close dissection that the trans verse ligament was broken and the odontoid process of the axis pressing upon the medulla oblongata. I would further state that in the executions spoken of death was produced without a struggle. The features were not dis turbed and the countenance looked as if death had come from natural causes, and, in my opinion, our mode of execution is the proper one to be employed in all cases.'

Dry Goods Championship.

Ewen Mcintyre & Co. g team and F. M. Brown < Co.'s team will meet in an important contest in the dry goods league championship series at savin Rock at 3:3O o'clock. next Friday after noon, for if the Mcintyre nine wins it would virtually give them the pennant. Should their opponents win the two teams would be tied. =.
 There are six games in all. Three have been played, leaving three more to play. The Mcintyre nine has won two and lost none, the F. M. Brown & Co. team has won one and lost one and Malley, Neely & Co. has lost two. Ewen McIntyre's team won the first game with F. M. Brown & Co. 5 to 2. Some changes have been made in Browns team and it expects to win. The other teams also expect to win. The game will certainly be the warmest of the meeting. Each association Is collecting horns, powder, etc., as it seems to be their idea that the one that makes the most noise will win. Each store will leave the green between 9 and 2:3O.

cLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.
osssfng the Obeiisk Aboard Ship . Pretty
Piece of Engineering.

''One of the pleasantest recollections
have to look back on, :" said Adam
Johnson, sis the. fact that l was one Of
the party that helped to run up the
American colors over Cleopaita's needle
when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
: out in the Mediterranean with a rowing
cOmm1ssloI., ana We were at Alexandria
as the tinle rhe obalisl was being NOV
ed The big stone had been presented by
the Egyptian government to this coun-
try, but the people were wild about hav-
ing it moved. We had to place a guard
around the men who were working on
the shaft, and even then there was al
most q riot
But that was cre of the prettiest
pieces of engineering work have ever
seen. The engineers vino were moving
eur shaft had a couple of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the lead
ID . pencil There were a couple of pro-
jectiles on each side of the castings Just
en- the center OF gravity i'll the shaft,
nike the trunnions on cannon. Under
these they pat lifting jacks and just
picked that immense stone on its
pedestal, swung il around horizontal
and then lowered it as gently as could
be on long sliding way, with cannon
balls under il for rollers They had a
square hole cut in the stern of the
Steamship and slid it into the hull
through that and replaced the sheathing
sutside.
Under the shaft i'll the inside of the
PEDESTAL there We're a lot of bronze toads
nd ornaments and the Lord knows what
not that the Masons claimed were placed
there by some of their progenltors cons
ago. l don't know anything about that,
though, aid you can leave it or take it,
a. You choose.
The British were not half so slick
With the obelisk they carried over to
England. They cased it up in a big
sheet iron arrangement like boiler. riy-
eted it in and foated tire whole thing
sff through a trench dug in the sand
Aown to thewater. Then they rugged
jury sails on il and towed il over to
England, but they lost three or four
nen off it before they got it in port and
lad all sorts of time generally.
"A couple of years afterward l saw
TIE British obelisk set up ON the east
bank of the Thames, and when / came
home the first thing went to see was

TRAGEDIES ON TOMBSToNEs.

Dnglish Churchyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.
In the churchvards of Britain several
tsmbstones exist with the accusations
Il murder deeply engraved upon them.
A scone over the grave of three children
u Merrington (Durham) churchyard
bears the following inscription:
Sleeping were slain.
tTf here we sleep till we must rise again.
In Sandridge churchyard, Surrey, on
tbe tombstone Of a custom house officer
who was shot in an encounter with
anugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal
Are the commands Jehovah did reveal.
But thou. o wretch. without fear or dread
OF thy tremendous Maker. shot me dead.
On stone in Cadoxton churchyard
Glamorganshire, is inscribed the most
fearful accusation of murder TO be found
- any tomb in Great Britain:
ITO RECORD MURDER
This stone was erected over the body
Il Margaret Williams, aged 26, living
- service in this parish, who was found
dead with marks of violence upon her
IN a ditch OH a marsh below this church
yard ON the morning of Sunday, the
14th July, 1922.
Although the savage murderer es-
saped for a season the detection of man,
yet God hath set his mark upon him
either for time or eternity, and the
sry Of blood will assuredly pursue him
- certain and terrible but righteous
Judgment
A tombstone stood in Dulverton
ehurchyard few years ago ON which
was inscribed:
Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by the nurse,
The brother robbed the widow. which made
the matter worse.
