A NEW HANDSPRING.
A New Waterbury Movement Discov- cred by an Employe of d Watch Fac tory in Connecticut.

A New Waterbury Movement Discov-
 tory in Connecticut.
 When Charles V retired to Monas- tery, worn out with ipternecine strife in bis kingdom, he busted himself with trying to make twelve watches keep &C., curate time. This was long before the complicated machinery now iu existence for manufacturing was ever thought of. It was in the days of manual labor when the most intricate mechanism was hn- ished by hand. Failing in his object after months of patient toiling, he gave up in disgust, aud exclaimed, What a fool have been, trying to make my subjects all think alike, when am un- able to make l2 watches keep the same time." There IS no doubt about the difficulty of making men intellectually go off on the same hair trigger princi- pie, aud to expect to whip them all in to line physically, is simply an impossi- bility. They are very much like watches. Some run along for years and keep their health. Some are in the do- mestic repair shop several times year, and some are often in the big pawn shops of human life. the general or pri- vate hospitals. They are subject to cli- matlc changes. An unseen microbe is often more disastrous to the constitu- tion than microscopical dust to watch Did you ever see novice trying to set watch, that has stopped, going again Did you aver see man laid up with backache trying to tinker himself back into good health? Did you ever try to catch an eel in bag of snakes? You might get 1t, but the chances are 100 to l. This is so with kidney disorders Tinkering. patching, mending and piecing are useless, A waste of time. Get down to causes. Even if you only dislodge the enemy and force retreat, you know how to attack him when he again becomes aggressive. It's no sign that watch even guaranteed won't go wrong again. Thomas Gilleru, of No 446 Main St., Waterbury, Conn.,, like some of the watches that have pussed through hIs fingers, last time, so to speak, and required cleaning and ad- JustiDg. Thomas probably reasoned that an uusound man was similar to an unreliable time-piece. and he took him. self to the repairer. He says: "Sit- ting at my work all day is very tiresome and hard on the back. Mine acbed so that could not sleep at night, in fact, l could not lie on my back at all.

THE HARTSvILLE MURDER.
From our Min River correspondent.l

From our Min River correspondent-l
 This entire vicinity is greatly excited over the would-be murder which oc- cured at the home of Geo. Spencer on the Monterey road near Hartsville, Mass. on Saturday morning about 8 o'clock, when Nathaniel Mosley, in a fit of anger, shot Spencer in the head. Mosely recently lived with his aged mother who has pension and state aid. They recently moved from Mill River to the Darby place west of Hartsville, and few days ago Mrs Mosely became afraid of her son, who has been very strange for years and is considered by some to be insane. After making com- plaint to Chas. Adslt. one of the select men, she went to MT Spencer's, being a sister of Mrs Spencer. When Mosley learned of her whereabouts he went to the house. but finding he could not frighten her into returning with him, his anger ragged beyond control, and while standing in the yard, he had few severe words with Spencer and shot him in the top of his head as he sat in the doorway. the charge entering near the 6dge of the hair over the left eye almost tearing off the top of the head. Two shot hit Mrs Spencer, who was in the room, in the arm. Dr Samuel Camp oi Great Harrington was summoned but said Spencer, who was unconscious, could not possibly live.
 Officers were at once notified and every possible means are being used to find Mosley. who was last seen running toward Hsrtsville. The town has offer ed $100 reward for his capture, or $50 for his body. Sunday the officers were somewhat disappointed after surround ing man they discovered in the lots near Dry Hill, to find it was good, peaceful, New Marlboro young man.
 Mosley is about 35 years old and an ugly looking individual with an unsav- ory reputation. He had threatened the lives of several persons and about fopr weeks ago attempted to kill his mother. He has twice been discharged from in. sane asylums as being of sound mind. MT Spencer, the victim of the shooting was over 57 years of age and an honest, hard working man. He was living al last accounts Wednesday, but death is expected hourly.

know a man to be a notorious crook,
and find it to the public interest to APP
prehend him without swearing out a
warrant charging him with any spe-
eific crime Let it be understood, how
ever, that they do this always at their
own risk. If they are right. ii the
circumstances show the person appre-
hended to be a law-breaker, then they
are justified, and any resistance on his
part will only make his penalty the
greater If they make mistake. then
they must and ought to suffer the con-
sequences. Any other rule would SUBJ
ject every citizen, however decent, or
derby and law-abiding, to arrest, to
clubbing and to Incarceration at police
headquarters without the slightest
remedy except by the tedious and ex-
pensive course of legal procedure
against policeman who does not have
to furnish bonds and may, and most
likely would be, beyond reach of
civil suit for pecuniary damages
1t is evident that the idea that
police force is an autocracy, irrespon-
sible to the law, free to create a reign
of terror at any time, and allowed to
go scot free if the chief and the mayor,
to whom alone it is responsible, refuse
to interfere, has made great progress.
1t is time to put check to this, and
it is going to be done. The reluctant,
hesitating and inadequate steps taken
at last under pressure of a unanimous
public protest in this city, show that
the callous and contemptuous indif
ference of the city hall has at last been
punctured. We shall have no more of
this regime of petty despotism and
brutality after people have had an op-
portunity to say what they think of it.
