THAT SUPPOSED BOMB.
IND HOW IT CAME TO BE WHERE
 FOUND.
Young Lady'S Surprise Last Evening "A Mystery Explained-The Carbide Cam on the Doctor's DoOrstsps.

l "A mystery E1plhined-Iho Carbide Cam on the Doctors Doorsteps.
 F Word came to the central police sta l tion yesterday morning from Dr. S. D Gilbert of 27 Wall street, one of the | city's leading physicians that an infer nal machine had been found on his steps and the doctor feared that his home might be blown to atoms. The ma chine, he said. was a round tin box perforated in the top in suspicious looking way. He called his neighbors to look at it, and the general opinion was that it was most dangerous look ing object to handle Policemen Allen, Watrous and Jackson were immediately despatched to the house and reporters and officers at headquarters were on
 the qui vive. No one dared handle the
 object. Bicycle Policeman Watrous ap,
 peared. The moment his eyes alighted
 on the strange looking object he smiled
 knowing smile, and then bravely
 strode forward and picked it up A
 crowd had collected and he was warn-
 ed to have care, but he confidently re-
 moved the cover of the can and then
 informed the spectators that the infer
 nal machine was nothing more than the
 carbide receiver of an acetyene gas bi-
 cycle lamp. The carbide had been
 slacked by the rain and the can was harmless. It was explained over the
 phone, while the policemen were en route, that month ago pr. Gilbert had testified against vagrant in the city court, who was sent to jail for thirty days He presumed the vagrant had left the bomb to blow him up.
 The sequel to the story is rather in- teresting A young New Haven lady, Miss Bertha Ensign, while sitting at the supper table at her home picked up an evening paper and her eye fell on the bomb story, which she read with inn mense interest, and then burst out laughing. Why, papa" she said, when she had recovered sufficiently to tell the story. T left the dreadful bomb there on the doctors steps. While I was out on my bicycle last evening with Char ley my bicycle light went out and Charley and I, needing the law, stop ped and I sat down on the doctors step while Charley took out the old carbide and recharged the lamp. I left the old worn out carbide and the can it was ill on the step of the house Oh, dear; I did not dream of such rumpus as this happening. The box and contents were harmless"
 The young lady who was the innocent cause of all the commotion is the daugh- ter of Albert Ensign, one of the most popular salesmen of s. s. Adams State street grocery, and was formerly for many years in a Chapel street shoe store

In AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JURY IN THE SUPERIOR co URTSUM-
M1RILY DISCHARGED.

Judge shumway Declared That the
Jury In the Lovejoy- IsbeIl Case Had
Been Tempered with Supreme Court
Session Concluded Divinity Student
Miller Said to Have Left Town Other
News.
The jury in the suit of Mrs Jocelyn
rather summarily discharged by Judge
ShumWay in the superior court, civil
side, at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
AS stated by the judge at the time, he
had been informed that one of the jur-
ors had been heard to talk with an out
slider concerning the case on trial. This
conversation is alleged to have occur
red during the noon recess of the court
Judge Subway read from the statutes
the law as to offenses of this kind and
the punishment likely to be inflicted in
case the accused was found guilty. At
ter the judge had made his statements
and discharged the jury Attorney Mat
thewman, who is representing Mrs.
Lovejoy, asked the court if he was full
ly convinced of the fact that juryman
had been tempered with. The judge
replied that he had obtained informa-
ton sufficiently strong that he was con-
WINGED that any verdict the jury might
render would be a nullity. Upon this
court was adjourned.
1t was impossible to learn who the
offending juryman was, but it is
thought that he is one of the men from
Hamden. Two of the jurymen were
closeted with Judge Shumway for
some time after the adjournment of
court.
The plaintiffs had finished their side
of the case and the defendants had put
most of their testimony in when the
court took recess of fifteen minutes.
AS soon as court was again convened
the judge took the above action.

FACTORY FOR CAKE WALKERS.
A Place in Chicago Where They Are
Turned Ont Every Day.

Turned Out Every Day.
1t may not be generally known that
Chicago has q factory for the produce
ton of cake walkers. No machinery is
used, the output being the result rath-
cr of circumstances. In one of the State
street restaurants, which is nearly half
a block deep and which boasts the
:ongest lunch counters in the city, about
fifty colored men are employed as wait
ers. and they all wear white uniforms
we'll stained by the drippings from pies
and the slop-over from liquids. About
2:3O o'clock each afternoon the men
take their lunch. They all form in line
in the q Of the restaurant aud march
in single file down to the front Of the
room around the principal counter,
countermarch down the other side and
sit at a counter provided for them. The
feature of the march Ia the march is
the cake walk swing, which most Of
the men practice, and 1t is no unusual
thing for those whom they pass to over
hear such remarks as:
Get dat cake walk move right"
Say, man, you'd never win no cake
with that walk Oh you."
"If I was a gal and you walked with
me like that l sure would pull a razor
on you," etc.

out OF grass last year, about the middle

planted seven bushels and dug 22j
