siders from the house. Officer White appeared about that time with shoe and hat in his hand, and witness ask ed him what he had there. Counsel tried to bring the witness down to statement that he could not see what was in Mir Whites hands, as 1t was too dark, but MT Plumb said that his question was the result of curiosity and not of any inability to see.
 Mrs Harry s. Plumb, the wife of the last witness, testified that she was awakened by screams and cries Tor help. She went over to the Fosburgh house the next morning at o'clock. She testified that she had heard sing ing on the evening before the tragedy. She had also heard laughing.
 A thrill of anticipation ran through the court room when Miss Bertha Sheldon. the young woman who was visiting the Fosburghs when the shooting occurred, went upon the wit ness stand.
 She said she was little hard of hearing, and counsel raised their voices, so that she could understand.
 She said, in substance, that MT Eos burgh, ST, had invited her to visit his daughters, because Berkshire air might do her good. She was not at all we'll and she intended to go home sooner, but Robert l.. Fosburgh want ed her to see his wife, so she stayed. On the night of the shooting she occu- pied the guest chamber leading from Mays room. The witness then pro- ceeded to relate the story of the hap penings of Sunday, both day and even ing. Sunday night May sang "The Holy City" and she remembered that the members of the family kissed one another and bade one another good night, as was their custom. Shortly after midnight witness was awakened by a piercing scream, and then she heard a pistol shot. She got up, open ed the door and asked what was the matter. She saw May upon the floor and she saw young Fosburgh near his room. Also she saw Beatrice, MT Fosburgh, ST, and his wife. She call ed Beatrice to her and again asked ney Hammond objected to witness giving the words Beatrice spoke to her"
 The court retired with counsel to consider in private the admissability of this evidence. MT Joyner said be- fore retiring that he expected to show that the exclamation by Beatrice was in the presence of the defendant and family.
 The conference was of short dura- tion. At its conclusion Judge Stevens announced that by agreement of cOun- sel the question would be answered, and witness would be allowed to tell what Miss Beatrice explained to her. Miss Sheldon said that Beatrice exclaim- ed: Burglars have entered the house and shot May" The witness said that she then returned to her room, dress ed and went down stairs.
 The admission of what Miss Beatrice said to Miss Sheldon is considered a big victory for the defense. Continu- ing, Miss Shelton said that she left the scene nervous and excited. She fully described the scenes in Mays room. She was oss-examined by Mir Crosby. When she left the stand every member of the Fosburgh family shook hands with her.

singing Soldiers.

A London paper notes that during the recent Austrian maneuvers the general in command tried the orig inal experiment of using the singing of songs as means of ascertaining the whereabouts of the different com panies of the corps d'armee. He commanded each battalion of di- vision to learn certain song of war and sing it when attacked. In this way he was enabled to discover, when some distance off, which bat talion was being. attacked by the enemy. The songs consisted of old folk-songs familiar to the men. To each battalion was attached a few musicians and drummers, who assist ed the singing soldiers.-You' h s Companion.

HORSE OWNERS OPPOSE IT.
Think a Shower Bath Would Be In
 furious to the Animals.

Superintendent O'Brien of the bu- reau of water has stirred up a hornets nest among local horsemen, and he is lucky if he does not be mobbed or ar rested before night. MT O'Brien has announced that he has prepared and is about to put into execution plan for giving horses a shower bath under the stand pipe at the square at Grand and Bank streets, and in consequence every man in town who owns horse is up in arms in opposition to the scheme, aud already the matter has been called to the attention of Agent Thrall of the Humane society, who says it is all right if properly applied, but consid- CTS it very dangerous under other con ditions and advises agents of the so- ciety to arrest any one whom they find abusing" animals in this fash ion. The veterinary surgeons do not approve of it, but some of them think that they ought not to say anything against it, because, they claim, 1t would make business good for them.
 O. G. Camp, president of the Water bury Driving association, called at the Democrat office this morning and wanted to know if there was any truth in the rumor, adding that it was a crazy notion and that he did not think the superintendent meant to do any thing of the kind. "A bath has much the same effect on a horse," said MT Camp, .as it has on human being It is all right if applied after working hours, when the animal has cooled off and can be rubbed and dried after the water has been put on him, but turn horse under a shower of cold water when he is sweating or even pretty we'll heated and then start him off working without giving him some at tention and the chances are that you will kill him then and there. Of course no one who knows anything about a horse would do it, but how many people are driving horses who know little or nothing about such treatment, and would be just as likely to run them under the spraying nozzle when they were in a father of sweat as at any other timer"
 R. N. BlakeSlee, another well known horseman, is very much opposed to the plan, still he is not worried much about it for the reason that he is of the opin- ion that as soon as the superintendent learns the danger of it he will aban- don the project.
 While the principal horsemen about the city look upon the plan with dis favor, still there are many who regard it as an excellent idea and hope that Superintendent O'Brien will get it into working order as quickly as possible. They argue that it is but reasonable to believe that some discretion will be used in applying the bath, and in SUD- port of their position point to the fact that such a system of treatment is in use in many large cities in this coun- try and in other parts of the world. It is certain that horses like the bath, and if it can be applied in proper manner it would be good thing, for animals must suffer great hardship during the hot weather, and if this process would help them Waterbury [ should have it.

HAD A. CLOSE CALL.
Steam Chest Exploded on the Road
 Roller This Morning.

Roller This Morning.
 Lawrence Cronan, an employe of the street department, had close call for his life on Canal street this morning. MT Cronan operates the big road rol- Ter and brought the machine from the north end to Canal street yesterday where the city is repairing the macad- am road. About o'clock this morn ing while partly opposite the Davis laundry, something gave out and be- fore MT Cronan knew what was up the steam chest had exploded and stout pieces of iron flew in all directions. He stopped the machine and then looked around to see how much of himself and the roller were left and found that while he had escaped the missiles him. self the machine was wrecked so badly that it is question whether it will pay to have it repaired Were it not for the prompt action of MT Cronan in bringing it to standstill other pieces would have been smashed and in all human probability some of them would have hit It was a miraculous escape and while MT Cronan says he was not scared still it is safe to state that he breathed easier when he got off the machine and looked at it from the sidewalk.

MUST PAY IN NAUGATUCK.
Warden and Burgesses Think Fran
 chises are Worth Something.

Burgess G. F. Westbroole, chair tuck. was in Waterbury today looking up some information regarding street franchises. The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go thinks the Rubber town needs little more light and has decided to lay gas mains through the streets of that place, and with this end in view the company has presented a petition to the town officials asking that it's plans be approved and agree ing to put back the streets in as good condition as they find them. The proposition is a poser for the warden and burgesSes, and unless all signs fail the trolley magnates will find that the NaUgatuck officials are no novices when it comes to graphing with ques- tions which pertain to public interests. All their streets are in good condition, and they propose to continue the Tel ford road this season from the pres ent termination of the improved road way near the cemetery to a point about opposite Weber's. If the gas mains are laid the streets will be ripped to pieces, and the wise heads have come to the conclusion that the company should give something in re- turn for the privilege of operating in them. They take the ground that it is a great money making scheme on the part of the company, and as the town is furnishing the streets to lay the mains in and also the people who will use the fluid. they have come to the conclusion that the trolley company should not have all the profits, and will tack on a few conditions to the application. One in which Waterbury will be interested is that the company give a 5-cent fare between Naugatuck and Waterbury. Other conditions will be imposed, but this is the only one residents of the Brass city care any, thing about.

THE NEW LAW.
Waterbury Win Not Need New Pri-
 mary Law Until Next Year.

mary Law Until Next Year.
 Waterbury is not bothering its head over the new registration law. The old rules will stand this year, and it is evident that this was the intention of the distinguished gentlemen who framed the bill, since no penalty is at tached until after March, 1902. The bill embodies the best ideas of three documents which were submitted on this question, one by City Attorney John F. Kellogg, who has already ad- vised the local registrars to shape their conduct so that it will apply for the first time at the primaries to be held in the fall of 1902. To introduce it at the coming primaries would mean nothing but a vast amount of labor and considerable expense, which would amount to nothing for the present year. There is nothing to prevent cities from acting on the new law this fall, nor is there anything to compel electors to be governed by it, so that it would be folly to introduce it until it can be enforced.
