Judge Munger Presides in the Absence
 of Judges Root and Bradstreet.
 Judge Root was absent in New Haven at a superior court bar meeting this morn ing and Judge Bradstreet was in New York so Judge Munger of Ausonia presided ID the police court.
 Michael Bolger. who lives at SIS Dublin street. was charged with breach of the peace. His son Thomas took the stand and with teafs in his eyes said: 'I don't want to prosecute my father, but 1 don't want to see my mother die. She has been sick now since Christmas. 1 went home last night and when my father saw me he began at once to raise trouble. He swore at my mother and abused me. I do not live there as I am married. He has not done much work and is hard drinker Officer Tehan said the son met him on East Main street and told him to go to the house. He could hear Bolger's shouts be- fore he reached there, Bolger himself said there was a combination against him and sald he was abused in the house He was was fined $5 and costs.
 Mortimer Chandler was charged with driving faster than six miles an hour. Officer Bailey said he drove by him at a terrific gait on East Main street last night. He passed him three times. The officer tried to stop him but could not. Chandler entertained the court with 8 dramatic re- cital of the horse he drove and it's unruly temper He offered to sell the horse right then and there, and Judge Munger Rd- vised him to dispose of the animal at once. He was evidently in earnest in his desire to make a sale but Judge Munger was not buying horses, so he sentenced Chandler to pay fine of $2 and costs.

TOWN NOT LIABLE.

seIectmem Have Received Legal Advice
 in Regard to Paying the Towns
 Share of the Court House Bill.
 There being some question of the towns liability in the matter of a new court house in Waterbury and as to whether the selectmen were authorized to draw orders for $40, GOO to meet such expense, the se- lectmen this afternoon obtained outside legal advice, as follows:
 ''The selectmen not only are not under any obligations to pay out $40. .000 for a new court house, but they have no busi- ness so to do until authorized by the town. The selectmen may be authorized to do so in ous or two ways. First: If the town first passed a vote to the effect that the town will furnish $40, ,0O0 toward a new court house, and on the strength of such vote the bill passed the legislature providing for such a court house and pay ment by the town of $40,O00, then the town is bound and the selectmen are un- der obligations to carry out the intention of the town so expressed and acted upon by the town and legislature. Secondly: If the town has not passed any such vote the offer of the legislature is before it in this bill. and is not binding on the town until accepted by the town. After the acceptance by the town the selectmen are then under obligations to carry out the intention as so voted"
 Speaking of this advice Selectman Brooks said: "We obtained the advice of A disinterested attorney, outside of Water bury. we wanted to be sure we were right before drawing orders for the court house. The opinion may not be con- cured in by the local lawyers, who are interested, but the selectmen do not pro- fn 6rayv fOr fhla they are sure that the town is liable"

to all such people we think we can be of service. We justly claim the honor of being the first to recognize that people who were not of the ordinary build should get as good a fit as those who are, and since we have been in business we have made it a point to carry in stock more suits that are made to fit the out sizes, known as slims, stouts and extra sizes, than any two houses in the city. Those people who had to put up with alterations, saw and appre- ciated our efforts, and to day if a big man or one who is hard to fit wants anything in the clothing line, he immediately thinks of us. and also brings his friends.

zling as the riddle of WALTER F. CARTER. the sphinx shoot out of tho tangle of way ing arms and legs, and the leather lunged umpire yells, "Striker' with monotonous regularity. Carter has played on the nine three seasons-two as pitcher and one as first baseman and catcher He halls from Brooklyn, where he prepared at the Poly technic school. He is 21 years old, weighs 190 pounds and is feet inches tall.
 Carter is in great demand among profes- sional teams, but the young pitcher says he will never play baseball for money.
 John c. Greenway, the crack Yale catcher, is another altitudinous athlete. He has caught Carter for two years. He Is perhaps better known as the Yale foot ball team end rush than as a catcher. The marked improvement in his batting Is the surprising feature of his work. He came from Phillips academy, Andover, where he played two years. Ho is 23 years old, weighs III pounds and is G feet 1 inch tall. His home is in Hot Springs, Ark.
 In Yale's first game against the New Yorks Carter struck out thre6 men and was only touched up for nine hits. The Yale men made 10 base hits, and the score was to in favor of the New Works. In the second game against the New Works Yale made a much poorer showing.

MERELY SPECULATIVE.
Broker Colgate's View of the Present
Activity in the silver Market.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Activity in silver
which has been noted of late, continued
yesterday, when about $4,000 ounces were
sold in the market here. In speaking last
night of the silver market and causes and
prospects of the present movement, Mr.
Starr Colgate, of the firm of Nesslage, Col
gate & Co., said: 'The movement began on
receipt Of the news from Germany favoring
a bimetallic conference. 1t was helped
when a motion that seemed to lean toward
such a conference was made in the English
House of Commons. The news of peace ne
gotations between Japan and China to
carry large indemnity in silver also had
propelling force. A good deal Of silver is
now under lock, but it will come out fast
enough when spectators believe the ad-
vance is over.
Il cannot see in the movement" Mr. Col
gate said. much beyond the speculative
feature. Talk of bimetallic action by Ger
many and England seems to have subsidized
If ii is to be revived it must be done by
those countries. A debtor country like the
United States cannot LEAD in such a move
ment. We have had silver troubles enough
without inviting others. In regard to an In
demnity to be paid by China it has seemed
to me that gold might be demanded. Dis
patches speak more of silver but Japan is
earning a reputation as country of adj
yanced ideas and it may be that talk there
of putting the finances on q gold basis may
be emphasized in the demands on China.
am inclined to look on the present move
merit as specula tive.

WISCONSIN ELECTIONS.
Republican Justice of the Supreme
Court Probably Chosen.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 2.-Wisconsin
to-day elected Justice of the Supreme
Court to succeed Justice Winslow, who was
the candidate of the bar, and on a general
call for reelection. His opponent was Judge
George B. Clementson, also a candidate on a
general call, no party nominations were
made. While the contest was, therefore
nonpartisan, party lines were to some ex-
tent drawn, as Winslow a Democrat
and Clementson Republican. The vote
throughout the State was light, and the re-
turns indicate the election of Clementson.
Winslow carried Milwaukee county by 500.
Wallber. Republican, is reelected Judge
of the Municipal Court over Nye, independ-
ent, by 5000 to 10000 plurality.
Republicans have elected Mayors of the
following Wisconsin cities: Ashland, River
Falls Delavan, Columbus, Marshfield, Maus-
ton, Sparta, Waupaca, Black River Falls,
Manitowoc, Hudson, whitewater, Lake Gen
eva, Hartford, Centralia and Watertown.
Democrats were successful in Mineral Point,
Plymouth, Durand, Prairie Du Chen, Alma,
Madison, Chiffon, kenosha, Berlin, Ripon,
Fox Lake. Shawano and Beaver Dam.
Later-From returns up to midnight the
election of Supreme Court justice appears
to be matter of considerable doubt. The
face of the returns now show that Winsiow
is leading Clementson in the larger cities.
Few of the smaller towns have reported SO
far Milwaukee gives about 900 majority for
Winslow, and 100 towns and villages in the
State bring the majority for Winslow, so far
as returns are in, up to 1900. Reports from
the smaller towns of the State are expected
to increase Clementson's vote.
