THAT S3OO REWARD.
City Attorney Burpee Says It Should No
 be Paid Until the Petruzzi Murderera Copvictad gp

City Attorney Burpss Says It Should Not be Paid Until the Petruzzi Murdererats Convicted. 5F'
 This is the city attorneys answer to Mayor Kilduff's request for a statement as to whom the Manfredi reward belongs Honorable E. G. Kilduff, Mayor: q.
 Dear sir:-I have to-day received copy of the vote of the board of aldermen, passed at their special meeting. duly warned. May A. 1894, as follows:
 ''Voted That the mayor be, and is here by authorized and directed in the name and behalf of the city of Waterbury to publicly offer a reward of three hundred IS3OO) dollars for the detention. arrest or conviction of the murderer of Leonardo PetIuzzi."
 You have requested my opinion or a statement of the facts as to whom this re- ward should be paid. have the honor to state that under the terms of that vote believe it necessary that some person should be convicted as the murderer of Leonardo PetruzZi before it can be deter mined to whom the reward should be paid. | Until some person shall have been so con- victed. it will be impossible to say who was the murderer of Petruzzi. The terms | of the vote seem to require, not only the detention and arrest, but the conviction of some person for that crime before such re- ward shall be pald to anyone.
 I. therefore. respectfully recommend that it be withheld until the person now | under arrest or some other person, shall | be convicted in due course of law. I un l derstand that Manfredi, who was arrested is bound over to the superior court and will be tried within n few weeks. If ht shall be convicted, the reward will become due some person. and that will be th' time to determine who that person is
 Respectfully.

tSptClal OrrcSpOnucncc-
 LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct l.-The attacks made by Dcsha Brcckinridgc upon J. D. Livingston and Judge Kinkhcad the other day have revived many rcminisccnccs of personal encounters between politicians on the streets of this capital in the past None of these meetings possessed more scnsa. tional features than did the fight to the death that took place between Colonel \. M. Swopc and Colonel Cassius Goodloe on Nov. five years ago.
 Both Swupc and Goodloc had hosts of friends, and while never friends owing to political rivalry, they had managed to get along without any very serious trouble until short time before the gory finale. Both were Republicans, as Desha Breckin- ridge and the men he attacked were both Democrats.
 The beginning of the end, so far as Swope and GOOdlOe were concerned, came in May, when GOodloe made some slight ing remarks in state convention about Swope. Swope rctorted by declaring Good loe's words as 'mean, uncallcd for, un- gentlemanly and malicious" and alluded to their Outgiver as ''Goodloc, the man of fine clothes, of flowing mustache and magnificent strut" They came near hay ing fist fight at the Phenix hotel few days later, but were parted by Senator Beck and other mutual friends After that both went armed, but did not come in close contact with each other till the day of the tragedy.
 The meeting then occurred in the post office, which both chanced to visit at the same time for their mail. Strangely enough, their boxes adjoined, and they reached them simultaneously. They touch ed elbows as if by accident and turned and glared in each others faces.
 You spoke to me, sir!" said Colonel Swope.
 You have insulted mep' said Colonel Goodloe.
 Then Colonel Goodloe whipped from his pocket large gleaming dirk knife and raised it to strike. At the same instant Colonel SwOpe drew his 3S caliber revolver As If they had often rehearsed the deadly scene together, Goodloe's knife fell and the hammer of Swope's revolver struck the cartridge in perfect unison. There was a flash. The revolver spoke sharply. Then there was n hand to hand encounter, dur ing which GoOdloe's knife fell l3 times and with frightful effect Swope's re- volver spoke but twice, but it was enough for the bullet lodged in his adversary's ab- domen inflicting a mortal wound. They were engaged in the struggle in all not more than n minute, possibly 30 seconds longer Swope was the only one to speak, and he but once, when he gaspcd, "Oh, my God, don'tl'
 He died instantly, but Goodloe managed to walk to the door of tho office He died few hours later. c. NJ. NoYRs

Training For Football.

"There is always n try for heavy men for tho rush line, particularly in and near the center. These big fellows, with their aldermanic proportions and over 200 pounds, arc generally used up very soon in attempting to do as much work as men who begin in fairly good condition" says James G. Lathrop in Outing. If they arc to be of value in the big games, they must be handled with great care. While they must work hard to get rid of their fat, they should not be put in the line every day. They should be played but part of the time each day-five minutes one day, ten another, back to five the next, and so on, gradually increasing the time as condi- tion improves. Work should be mainly running, not several miles on a stretch or even one mile, but short spurts of about bO yards, followed by walks of about tho same distance. The rate of speed in the run should not be a mans best, yet it should be much faster than a long dis tance gait. The walk between the runs gives the muscles a chance to rest, allows the exercise to be kept up longer, thus i'm creasing precipitation and the reduction of weight.
 As the special object with these men is to get of weight and as the majority of young fellows eat from one-quarter to one third more than they need, it would be well to eat less, not paying so much attention to quality as quantity. This can be done without loss of strength and is a great help in reducing"

Last night the attendance was very large and the stage performance was of n high order. Alter the performance the orchestra. under the direction of Leader Henri Roberts. furnished excellent music for n host of merry dancers with Professor Pole calling the numbers. A walk through the hall and glance at the different articles on ex- hibition re revealed some decidedly interest ing sights. One booth is devoted to a dis play of aluminium articles from the Scovill Manufacturing Go and the Waterbury Clock Co This booth is in charge of Mrs T. l.. Ferrall. assisted by the Misses Amelia and Clara Zeiglrr. Mrs D. A Streeter assisted by Mrs J. Pole. F. Hay wood. David Eggleston. l.. Bronson and the Misses Jessie Eckler.

"The Little specuIat.r."

This evening the bright soubrette star, Miss Eloise Willard. comes to the Jacques with her company of metropolitan actors in very funny farce comedy called ..The Little Speculator. The play deals with exciting and ludicrous scenes in western towns of a mushroom growth which often vanish suddenly when the bubble bursts and the speculators who boomed the town into being. depart with the booty realized from selling town lots at metropolitan prices. The little star who heads this company is a wonder of versatility, grace full, sprIghtly. full of ginger. a singer and dancer of exceptional ability. who. during the play. appears in five distinctly dis similar characters. all of which are diff cult of presentation.
