ductor L. and his hind shack
would get at least ten "Brow-

he was riding on the right side
OF the cupalo, whereas the afore-
said journal (Which was on the

left side, and, therefore, entire

any man who did not possess a

as he had been asleep for sever

there was a hot box on the train.
The engineer, from his position
while in the discharge of his du-
ties, could not have seen the
burning box even had he been
awake, and he with the conduc-
tor were acquitted. The fire
man, who had fallen off the tank
at HOuCk and broken his leg and
all the rest of the command

to await the arrival of No. I.

and reprimand. The head man

thus obviously neglecting his
duties, was fired and bulletin
posted as a warning to other
head men.

the case of George YAM, the Highwood
| man charged with the shooting of
George Goering. YAM was taken into
the civil superior court room, where the
grand jury was in session shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock, and soon after Coroner

jury had not completed consideration
of the YAM case and adjourned until 10

the grand jury, but concerning which
no announcement will be made until the

The petit jury was called into tae
criminal side of the superior court at

Attorney Williams said that he had no
business for the jury yesterday and
that possibly he would have no bust
ness for it during the term. The jury
was then excused until o'clock and
was later excused until 10 o'clock this
1t seems to be the general
opinion that YAM will not be tried at
this term, even though he is indicted by
the grand jury.
After the adjournment Yanz was talk
en- back to the jail by one of the dep
uty sheriffs. With both hands in irons
he was led out of the court house and

MARTIN LyNCH's PALS.

Judge Elmer in the criminal side of
the superior court yesterday imposed
sentences upon several prisoners who
entered pleas of guilty. Thomas Lynch
and Stephen Moran, who assisted Mar
tin Lynch to escape from the New Ha-
ven county jail by smuggling a saw
into his cell, each received two and a
half years in state prison. There is no
statute applying to this crime which is
a common-law offense. 1t is considered
that the accused escaped with very
light penalty.
James Moran, a hSamp, got nine
months; Thomas p. Cassidy, a colored
boy, who stole two bicycles, got one
year.
