The store of Badger & Noyes at Sharon
was entered by burglars one morning re-
Gently. The post-office was rifled and
goods taken. Deputy Sheriff D. G. Jones
noticed suspicious persons going north on
the railroad track at daybreak, and upon
learning of the robbery little later, went
in pursuit, overtaking them. In making the
arrest Jones was roughly handled, one of the
men firing atlhim, but Jones did not release
his grip, although dragged some distance.
He succeeded in landing his man in the
lookup. Another man was arrested lit
tie later, and third, who boarded train
and paid his fare in dimes and nickels, was
taken into custody at White River juno
ton. Goods stolen from the store in Shar-
on we're found on all the men, and they
also carried burglars tools. On being ar
raigned before Judge Seaver at Woodstock

and lodged in Jail. They claimed to live

The attitude toward Great Britain,

interrogate the holy see in relation to

the Boer war. The paper is supposed to
he the popes' official organ, receiving a
financial subsidy from him. The duke
of Norfolk wrote: ITO us It seems very
grievous that any opportunity should
be given to any one to persuade the

 Hartford, May 3.-The Connecticut Beekeepers' associa tion held meeting at room 60 in the capitol yesterday morning. The reports of those present showed that the keeping of bees has not been profitable in the state for some little time, and just now it is seriously threatened by disease known as ''black brood comb" on account of it's color. The larvae of the bees die in the cells of the comb, decompose and the decomposition has fatal effect on the hive of bees. No accurate knowledge of the cause of the disease has been ob- taned.

 New York, May 3.-The general public continues to hold aloof from any share in business on the stock exchange and the movement of prices reflects only the operations of the small room traders These professional operators for the most part close up their contracts be- fore the day has expired, thus rectify- ing to a large extent the price move ment which has resulted from the origi- nal contract. Other operators of this class are in the habit of carrying their contracts over one day The result of these operations, which are known in stock exchange parlanee as trading jackknives" is a sea saw market, prices moving one way on enc day and the contrary on the next, as the sales or purchases of the one day are covered by the contrary operations on the next. Sugar moved mostly below yesterdays level and was the leader of the market. The steel stocks were inclined to harden after yesterdays sharp break, the ten dency being assisted by reports of the reopening of some of the steel and wire company's mills. The coalers were raided by the bears on the resolution of the anthracite operators to support the proposed new coal road.
