Cleaned i'm the Nutmeg State By Busy
 News Gatherers.
 The Bristol silver and copper mine shut down to-day fer an indefinite period The mine has been practically closed, the pumps only being operated for some time. MT Cutting, the present owner, deems it the most advisable course to close the mine entirely until the market improves. The cost of working the mine is such as to make it unprofitable while Lake Superior copper is sold at the present figures.
 Wallace Hart. proprietor of wood turn. | ing shop in Bristol, was thrown from & wagon by runaway horse last night, and badly bruised. He is not fatally injured. though his neck was sprained.
 William Martin of Bristol was thrown by runaway horse, and had one leg frac- tured. He was also injured about the head and arms. He was removed to his home, and will be confined to his bed for several weeks.
 The Italians who went on strike at the Aetna Nut works in Southington last week for an increase in wages are at work again to day, having received a comprom- ise.

Everything is running as usual to-day, and both msn and employer are satisfied.
 Twelve year old Willie Billiard. son of Hon w. T. Hilliard, of Bristol, met with painful accident last night. He, with another lad, was holding ladder while a third companion climbed up. The ladder slipped. the boy on it jumped, his heel striking young Billiards nose, fracturing it. The injury is painful, but not serious.

 HENEEYs July 9.--The preliminary trial in the boat race between Cornell and the Leanders to-day was awarded to Cornell. As the boats rowed up to the starting point the referee shouted: "Are you ready" and immediately gave the word, "Go."

Sentence Imposed Upon Frank Staple-
 ton For Perjury.
 In the city court to-day Attorney Ken nedy made 8 strong fight for Frank Staple ton, charged with perjury. The state had subpenaed the following witnesses Clerk of the court N. R. Bronson, Chief Egan, Attorney Kendr ick. J. M. Sullivan of the American, E. l.. Maloney of the DEMOCRAT, James Stickles, Stapleton's bartender and James Delaney. Judge Root was on the bench. All the evidence as given yester- day was gone over again and Stapleton's two stories were told.
 Only one witness was thor. oughly cross examined, Attorney Ken drick. who was Delaney's counsel yes- terday. He said he had been a lawyer longer than Attorney Kennedy. He did not advise Stapleton to come to court and testify as he did. Stapleton did not con- suit with him. All that he said to Staple ton was that Delaney would carry out whatever he said; he would pay him if he said he would. He did not know which of the Suspicious was the right one. He did not tell Stapleton to be as light as he could and he would be settled with, but did tell him that if Delaney had not assaulted him, to be square enough to testify to that fact,
 All of the witnesses were not put on the stand. Judge Root found Stapleton guilty and sentenced him to six months in jail. An appeal was taken under bonds of $500.
