WATERBURY ELECTION CONTESTED
Judge CowelI Attempts to Oust Demo-
 crats on a Technicality.

Waterbury, Dec. 3.-Judge George H. Cowell, republican nominee for mayor of Waterbury, who was defeated in the city election held in October by E. G. Kilduff, to-day gave notice that he would appeal to the courts for re- count of the ballots cast in the election. The agitation for a recount has been going on in the newspapers since 1t came to light fortnight ago that the democra tic ballots cast in the Third ward were not printed in accordance with the form prescribed by law.
 Kilduff's plurality over Cowell was 442. It is claimed by the republicans that the 791 democratic ballots cast in the Third ward were illegal in that they read For Town Clerk instead of sim ply Town Clerk" as demanded by the election laws. If these 7S1 votes were thrown out 1t would mean the election of Judge Cowell by plurality of 349. It will also result in the outsing of every democratic offices elected with the exception of Town Clerk Brett and Tax Collector Thoms, whose pluralities were sufficient to secure their elections even with the Third ward ballots count ed out.
 It Is said that the error in the ballots was known on election day to the chairmen of both town committees who, however, agreed that it was due simply to mistake and decided to take no action. The discovery of the fault by the newspapers and the ensuing agita- ton led to the decision on the part of Judge Cowel to test the matter in the courts.
 The appeal is returnable before Judge George W. Wheeler in the superior court at Bridgeport next Monday.

STOLEN HORSES RECOYERED.
Those Taken from New Haven Found
 in Mantle

Clinton, Dec. 3.-Two men in single teams drove up to the freight house here this morning and asked the sta- tion agent to ship the horses to Provi- dence. The horses were put in freight car attached to the train leaving here at 10:30, the two men accompanying them. Upon their arrival at Mantle, acting upon message received from New Haven, Deputy Sheriff Tubbs at- tempted to arrest the two men, charg ing them with horse stealing. In this he was unsuccessful, but took posses sion of the horses. The men fled to the woods and have not yet been captured.
 The horses answer the description of the ones stolen in New Haven yester- day afternoon. The horses are being held awaiting instructions from New Haven.

CAUSES MILD THRILL IN c ERMANY
Message Stimulates Bourse but Causes
 Shipping Shares to Fall.

Berlin, Dec. 3-The message of Pres ident Roosevelt caused a mild thrill in Germany. On the Boerse, where it was eagerly awaited, the message was received with uncommon interest, and the market generally was slightly stim- ulated upon the posting of a bulleting containing President Roosevelt's utter ances about trusts" The shares of the steamship companies fell one or two points on account of the immigra- ton inspection paragraph and proposed development of the merchant marine.
 Several of the financial journals aver that there is no reason why the United States should not encourage ship building. They say that if the United States becomes possessed of com- mercial fleet she will have to build it, insomuch as the attempts to buy Ger man lines of steamers have been de- feated.
 President Roosevelt's words concern ing the restriction of immigration con- tain an unpleasant suggestion in the present time of depression when, as the Berliner Volks Zeitung says, the hard iii. es make an overflow of the laboring population of Europe necessary. The free trade and liberal newspapers well come the reciprocity recommendations, but regret that President Roosevelt did not recommend specific tariff re- duction.
 The first impression of the presidents message in German official circles is that the repression of anarchists by in trenational agreement is much more

A TROUT DECOY.
Acts Bell Wether mt the Colorado
state Fish Hntcheries.

Acts as BELL "ethef mt the SOlOra0O
State Fish Hatcheries.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is one fish owned by the state Of
Colorado which will in all proba ability never
dangle at the end of line to make sport
for some angler. Instead it will subsist
peacefully on ground liver and be petted
and cared for at the Brighton fish hatchery,
ofy-which r. l.. Hager is superintendent.
For this fish is the, guiding spirit, among
all the small fry and leads them not only
in the paths of righteousness. but into the
pools where Mr.. Hager desires that they
should stay.
The fish at the hatcheries are kept in sew
eral small pools in order that they may be
separated according to their kind and cared
TOR properly. Occasionally IT was desired to
clean these pools or make some alteration
in them. This used to cause a great deal
of trouble for the superintendent. 1t was
almost impossible to get all the fish ont of
the pools without killing many of them
They were SO small that they could easily
slip through the meshes of an ordinary
net, and many of them were crushed in the
net. Unless the pool was cleaned ever so
often the fish would die
During Mr.. Hager's superintendency he
has made an especial pet of one Of the
largest trout in the hatcheries. Whenever
he fed the fish this trout was always among
the first to come to him. and finally grew
So daring that it would snap at pieces of the
liver which he held in his hand. Whenever
he appeared on the walks surrounding the
pool this trout would always come to him.
and as he walked around the pool it would
follow him. The other fish in the pool
learned that the big trout always got most
of the good things to eat and consequently
there finally grew a gOod-siZed procession
whenever the big trout assumed the role Of
leader.
Finally Mr.. Hager had an inspirat ation.
One day when he wanted to clean the pool
which was the big trout's home he opened
the inlet leading into another pool and got
his procession started by holding out a
handful of ground liver toward the big
trout which thereupon was willing to fol-
low him anywhere. In this way Mr.. Hager
conducted all the fish into the other pool
without the slightest difficulty and without
losing any of them. Since then whenever
he has wished to clean any of the pools he
has first secured the big trout and then,
with 1T for a leader, he has had no difficulty
in getting the rest of the finny populatio
out of the way.

With icy fingers, pictures quaint
On leaf and pane, nor pause nor faint

ors OF the Saengorfest Athletic club OF Gin.
chnst express the fullest determination to-

but roafhrmed his promise and assured tho
committee that he would issue the permit
two days before the day of the proposed con

test yam ana viii take place in Cincinnati

since Mayor Fleischmann has been legally
aoVlsed that the fight for the championship
OF the world does not come within the in
tention OF the Ohio statutes for sparring ex-
n n,pse. under the auspices of q bona fde
athletic club, 1t is understood that the only
khu OF permit that he would give even

proceeding under that permit
In addition to the conferences today be-
tween the counsel here was an informal
meeting of members OF the bar and an on N =
ION was sent TO Mayor Fleischmnnn sIEed
by twelve leading attorneys. including Judge
Judson Harmon. This opinion holds that Tor
the past twelve years the laws OF Ohio have
peen very severe against prize ightlng the
only exception being for sparring oAhib
tions under the auspices of bona fide eth-
ietic club. These attorneys hold that a
