ALLEGED BANK BURGLARS.
Shot and Killed Officer in Attempting
 to Escape.


 Chicago, June 5.-Frank Rutledge and Fred Rice and Frank Jones, the three alleged bank burglars, who while being transferred from the court room to the jail in Toronto yesterday at tempted to make their escape and in the fight that followed shot and killed Officer Royd, had romantic career in Chicago. They posed as artists, and made love to every pretty girl they met They were followed from the county jail to the United States cir cult court, and from there to the liar rison street station, by three admiring girls, who made every effort to deliver note to them or to kiss them good bye. Only the temporary detention of the young women by the police kept them from following the men to the Polk street station to see the departure for Canada.
 The men were arrested June l. 19Uu. They immediately began their fight against the recognition of the extra dition papers authorizing their return to Toronto to answer for the crime of burgIarizing the Aurora, Ont, bank. For almost a year the men were incarcer- ated in the county jail here, while their attorney was struggling to keep them from crossing the line The supreme court of the United States ordered their transfer to the custody of the Canadian officials, and on April 8, 1901, they were placed aboard a train for Canada.

ANOTHER FRUITLEss ATTEMPT
To Get Testimony of Valet Jones on
 Rice Will Case.

New York, June 5.--Another frult- less attempt has been made by the law yers interested in the wills purporting to have been drawn by William Marsh Rice to take the testimony of the valet Jones, who is now in the private hos pital at 44th street Jones, who is said to be suffering from alteration of the stomach and in a very nervous condi- tion has, been in the hospital for about six weeks under guard.

Whitney as referee in case he should not be able to appear before the surrogate.
 Three attempts have been made to examine Jones, but he had caused them to be postponed on the plea that he was not strong enough to answer ques- tions. The attorneys representing the various interests involved again gath cred in the sick chamber, but Jones told his counsel, George Gordon Battle, he was unable to go on.

AvERTED A PANIC
Conductor Was Pinned Between
 Car and Wagon.
GRAspED THE BELL ROPE.

Then had Presence of Mind Enough to
 Tell his Passengers to Keep Their
 Seats-Then Fell to the Car Floor
 Unconscious-He Will Probably Die.
 New York, June 5.-"Keep your seats, there. No harm has been done. It's all right,' cried Conductor Will liam Holderman last night and fell senseless to the floor of his car. With. three ribs broken and internal injuries, it was his pluck alone that prevented q panic in the crowded Madison avenue car. Holderman was standing on the running board collecting fares. Be- tween Walker and White streets, q heavy truck with two horses was met. The space Was narrow and the horses swerved This brought the high seat. of the wagon directly against Holder mans body and he was damned in the small space between it and the car. The passengers made a mad scramble. to jump off the moving car. Instantly his hand went up to the bell rope and the car came to sudden stop, leaving him still pinned in the small space. He saw women preparing to jump and call ed out to them to sit still. Then he fell to the floor of the car. At the hospi- tai it was said last night therej was small chance for his recovery.

PALMIST SCARED HER.
Told Her She Had But Thirty Days to
 r iyn

Duluth, Minn. June 5.-Mrs c. J. West. aged 34, wife of c. J. West, of the Duluth Iron and Metal company, while in Chicago recently, visited palmist with party Of friends and was startled to be informed that she had but thirty days to live She laugh ed the matter off and made light of the prediction but evidently it made considerable impression upon her. Af- ter a visg of two weeks in Chicago, Mrs West went with her friends to a small town across the Indiana border, where party was given in her honor. One of the ladies with whom Mrs West had been playing cards proposed to tell her fortune Again the fateful predic- tion was made that Mrs West had but two more weeks of life. Two days lat CT Mrs West complained of feeling i'll and returned to her home in Duluth Eminent physicians were gathered in consultation but despite their best ef- forts, she died last Thursday, the last day of the fatal two weeks. The doc tors in attendance upon Mrs West say that the fortune telling undoubtedly exerted anNnfuence to produce the wo-. mans death.

lDYLWOOD IN DARKNESS.
selectman Refused to Pay and the
 Current Was Gut or.


 Beautiful Idylwood, the country seat of Ervis B. Wright, one of Waterbury S popular business men, is in darkness the past week or so and is likely to remain so until the city fathers decide to start up the electric light that has not shed it's rays over the place since last fall and which was shut off from the electric current owing to the failure of the selectmen to continue to settle the bill with the Connecticut Lighting and Railway Go any longer. Last year the selectmen placed some lights in that district and through some mis- take one was located near the entrance to the residence of MT Wright and an other at the scene of the copper mys- tery. Everything went along all right until few weeks ago when Selectran Doran discovered that the lights in ques- ton are in the city and he promptly notified the city officials and also in- formed the company that the town would not be responsible for them any longer. The city refused to accept the lights and then the company discon- nected the current and in consequence the lamps failed to burn. People who were not aware of the facts wondered what was up, but it did not take long to find out. The lights were a great convenience there and naturally the neighbors don't want to see them re moved and are preparing petition to be presented to the aldermen asking that the city have them transferred to it's list. To make things worse, the town is of the opinion that the city ought to settle for the lights since they were placed there, but the city folks do not see it that way, and now the question comes up as to where this money will come from. The company has been paid so that they are not con cerned about that part of the game, and the thing will be apt to result in a three-cornered fight between the town. the city and the people who own the land where the lights have been doing service. It is thought that the aldermen will vote to start up the lights again, but of course the peti- tions will have to take the regular course, and as the aldermen adjourned for a month last Monday the matter cannot be settled for some time unless a special meeting should be called, and then if the petition should be referred to the board of public works and placed on the list for investigation by that body, it would take another month to get it back to the aldermen, which would leave the lights out of service until towards the fall The neighbors allege that they are public necessity at that place and hope that the city fathers will lose no time in accepting them so that the company ran turn on the lights

QUEER NEWS IN QUEER FIGURES
Population and Emigration Statistics
 of the British Islands.

of the British Islands,
 While the emigration from Ireland increases from year to year, q curi- ous phenomenon is observed in the United Kingdom. The number of mar riages is increasing and the number of births decreasing. There never were so many marriages in England as there were in the year 1899. But the records of the birth rate run down to the low est figure. England, that was so proud of her Increase in population from 12, 0O0.0 to 40.000.000 since the con- mencement of the French revolution, while during the same period the pop ulation of France increased only from 25.000.000 to 3S,000,000, now finds her population diminishing But the strange thing about it is that the same phenomenon is observed in Australia, in New Zealand and in all the countries inhabited exclusively by Anglo-Saxons. The London Daily Telegraph gives a cause for the phenomenon which may perhaps be the true one. and this cause is none other than the rebellion. often noticed by close observers of the Anglo-SaXon women against maternity "a rebellion which is the consequence of their passion for Independence and their constantly increasing desire to become equal, if not superior to men in intellectual occupations and in phy- sical exercises. In saying this we re- fer particularly to American women For the ladies of the law and the med ,ical and journalistic ladies maternity is nuisance. just as it is for those whose greatest delights are bicycle rid ing. tennis. golf and hockey.
 Coming back to Ireland we find, ac- cording to the official figures, that 47,- 107 emigrants abandoned in the year 1900 the country to which they are so deeply attached. These figures repre- sent 10.5 per thousand Of the popula- tion. They show an increase of 3,347 over the figures for 1899 and 13, GOO over those in 1898 Since the beginning of the reign of Victoria the population of Ireland decreased from S,OO0,00O to A. 500,o00. The laws in favor of the far mers, the establishment of elective county councils and the numerous lines of railway have had no effect upon emigration. Nothing can stop it exr cept home rus

OBEY HE JAW, GENTLEMEN
Judge Burpee's Timely Warnin g
 This Morning.

He Is Determined to Punish Those
 Who Assault Non-Union Men-The
 Law Prohibits a Man from Calling Names as We'll as from Striking 2
 Man-Leave tie Non- Union Fellows
 Alone and Keep Out of the Clutches
 of the Law.
 Judge Burpee is determined to stamp out any lawlessness that takes place in connection with the strike of the ma- chinists. He said so ii the city court to-day in disposing of the case of Will liam F. Scott This man was charged with breach Of the peace under an old of Scott as engendering contention and strife. Last evening as Truman B. Jones, a striker who returned to work at Blake < Johnson's machine shop was leaving for home the usual large crowd surrounded the entrance to the factory. Scott, on his way home got jammed in the crowd. Sergeant Blake ley, one of the guards of Jones, over heard and saw Scott make the offensive remark of "scab'' to Jones, and Officer Phelan pushed the man aside.
 Later when all was over and the streets clear, Sergeant B1akesley saw Scott and directed Officer Phelan to ar rest him. Scott's defense was that he made the remark in jest to friend. The penalty under the statute is five years or S100 and costs fine. Judge Burpee said that as it was the first case brought under the statute he was inclined to suspend sentence but he would have it understood that no one has the right to interfere with another man, no matter what the relations be- tween them may be. He has not the right to pursue him with offensive language. If another case of this kind is brought to the attention of the court, the accused if found guilty, will be soundly dealt with.
 The case against Michael Kefe for assault was again continued to to-mor- row morning.
 William Gillette and Joseph Walsh, IT years old respectively were found guilty of breaking into the storeroom of the Benedict 6 Burnham factory and taking 175 pounds of sheet brass in coils, valued at $25. They were ar rested by Officer Kennaugh at 1 o'clock this morning on South Main street with the metal in their possession. Accord ing to the story of William Norton, a boy employed at the Savoy hotel on East Main street, the accused induced him to engage a team. They drove around the eitF-and wound up at the fence of Benedict & Burnham's yard on Washintgon street. Itswas an easy matter to climb the fence and still easier to raise the window near which they saw pile of metal coils. They took seven of them and hid them un- der the lap robe of the carriage. A few minutes later they were in the custody of Officer Kennaugh Gillette and Walsh were bound over to the next term of the superior court under bond of S330 each. Norton and Oscar Duhamel were charged with theft of the same metal and were each fined $l5 and costs. Norton's parents live in Thomaston. He has been about two years i'll the city.
