Hayes NoD-Support Case Again Continued
 Gases of Alleged Spectacle Swindlers
 Nolled-Other Cases.
 case was called in the city court again yesterday morning, An employe of Winchester's shop testified as to Hayes salary, and the case went over one week. A copy of the Winchester pay roll, which was admitted as evidence as to Hayes salary, showed that he went to work in May on piece work and after learning the ropes could make about $S a week, sometimes more and sometimes less.
 Mrs. Hayes was not in court and Judge Stoddard, counsel for MT, Hayes, questioned her residence here. Judge Dow said if she will not live here with her husband, provided he offers her a home, Hayes cannot, under the laws of this state, be compelled to support her. MT, Spock, representing Attor- ney H, G. Day, for Mrs, Hayes, said that the lady is in New Haven and that he could have her in court to-day. Judge Stoddard held that the court should take into consideration the rul- ings of the court of New York, but Judge Dow refused to do this. The case was continued for one week.
 TWO MIGRANTS IN COURT.
 Joseph Acherson and Albert E. Calla- han, who were arrested in the Cedar Hill yards Wednesday night by Officer B. Jackson, were in court yesterday morning, charged with vagrancy. Acherson claimed that he came from New York and that he was looking for work, but the officer said that he told him a different story. Callahan said that he had applied at Foskett & Bishops and at another place in the city for work. The officer said this was the story he first told him. Judge Dow let Acherson go on his promise to leave the city, and continued Callahan's case to allow the officer to investigate his story concerning his search for work
 HELD FOR NON-SUPPORT.
 James McDermott of 40 Gregory street was in court yesterday for non- support. His wife, a comedy woman, testified that she worked five days in the week to support her three young children. She said that her husband only works enough to get money to pay for his drinks. McDermott was sent to jail as he could not furnish a S10O bond to guarantee supporting his wife.
 SPECTACLE SELLERS SET FREE
 The cases of Jeremiah Driscoll and Daniel Donovan, who were arrested on Tuesday on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences by selling spurious spectacles, were nolled, as there was no one to appear against them.
 TO WHICH JOHN DOES SHE BE- LONG?
 Two John Andersons, one a laborer of Providence, and the other a carpenter of this city, were in court yesterday morning and both claim one woman as their wife. As far as the affair has been investigated by the police and the city attorney, John Anderson of Providence has the prior claim to the woman, whose name was Lena Ander- son before she was married. Lena married the second John about a year ago, and everything was going on smoothly until the first John turned up a few days ago. No arrests have yet been made. The case was continued pending Investigation by Detective Ser geant Dennehy and Detective Me Grath.

THE YERIsoopE PICTURES.

Corbett aud Fitzsimmons Fight Their
 Great Battle Twice Daily at the Fly
 perion.
 Perhaps the most exciting sporting event of this generation was the glove contest between Corbett and Fitzsim- on March 17 last. Newspapers devoted columns day after day to this great fistic encounter.
 This week the citizens and visitors of New Haven have an opportunity to witness the reproduction of this great battle at the Hyperion theater. An in creasing attendance now clamors, for the choice seats in the great playhouse and patiently awaits the time when the lights are turned low and the great ex- hibition begins.
 To be seated comfortably in a theater here in New Haven and actually see all the exciting scenes and incidents which took place three thousand miles away is certainly a great attraction in itself, aside from seeing the two great est opponents of the manly art. It is said that the veriscope company invest ed something in the neighborhood of $60,00O before perfecting the machine to | photograph the entire contest. To dis play the pictures 10,S56 feet of film is required, and 1S3,000 separate and dis tinct pictures pass the eye at speed of forty-seven per second. This ac- ! counts for the life-like motion of the men, as it is impossible for human being to make any kind of a move ir one-forty- seventh of a second.
 l The most exciting rounds are the sixth and fourteenth. In the famous sixth round both men are working hard, each looking for an opening whereby he may land a blow that vii surely bring him fame and fortune Corbett is seen to duck, dodge and side step, for which he is so famous, ant finally, working his opponent into z corner. lands a terrific right-hand swing 1 which sends Fitz to the floor.
 At this point in the contest many ar guments have arisen in the hesitancy of the referee to start counting, many claiming that F'itz was down the full ten seconds, but only counted up tt nine, when he rises, and through clinching, saves himself for another round.
 Much has been said and written, too of the knockout and foul blow in the fourteenth round, which lasted one minute and forty-fve seconds. Corbett is leading for Fitz's body, when tht latter steps forward and delivers the knockout blow in the solar plexus Immediately following this blow, likt a flash, Fitz's left hand is seen to strike Corbett while the latter is on one knee and the right hand touching the floor Many claim the foul blow cost Corbett the battle, while others argue that the foul blow had no material effect. l Another interesting part of the exhi. bition is the mad rush of many of the spectators into the ring, showing the prevailing excitinent. The veriscope is certainly a marvellous machine and il shows every, move from the beginning to the end of the contest, including five minutes after the battle ended. | Matinees are given daily at 2:30, and the evening performance begins at S:30 l Friday will be the last day of the ex- | hibition

SAN BERNARDIN0 COUNTY
SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 4-(Regu-
lar Correspondence.) A move is on foot
TO utilize the sewer system Of the city
more thoroughly. Ten years ago COM
plete plant was put In, extending
through every street in the original city
of a mile square, the cost to be a lien
on the abutting property holders; but
the contractors, it being In boom times,
failed to keep to the letter of the agree
ment in the matter of specifications, as
1t was a time when anything was good
enough. But the boom went the way OF
all things earthly and the courts failed
to reverse the action of the non-payers.
Since that time there has been general
inclination not to connect with the sew
ers, and of late the attention Of the city
trustees has been called to the matter
with the desire expressed to have the
city take charge of the sewer plant, un-
der the state law regulating such things,
but the fear has been that this would
render the city liable for the debts of
the abutting property holders and that
suit against the city would be success
full while a failure against the citizens.
On looking up the law an opinion was
given that the city would not be held
liable and that it was the duty Of the
trustees to take charge of the sewer sys-
tenn and pass an ordinance compelling
people to connect with it. This will
probably be done and will prove great
sanitary benefit to the city.
The cold wave has been the principal
object of interest the past two days, ami
