1t is not an easy matter for lumber
men to get their full quota of men for
their lumber cutting and hauling opera
tons this winter. This is more apparent
on the Penobscot river than elsewhere
in the State as the demand is greater
Land Agent Ring OF Orono is quoted as
saying: 81 know of lumberman who, a
short time ago, spent week in hunting
for men, and then he only succeeded in
lining up six or seven That was not
the worst of it either, for after he had
taken those men to the very edge of the
forest, paid their fares and thought he
had them fast, another operator stole
them away. The other man made an
offer that suited the crew better, and
when morning came and it was time to
push into camp, there was not man
left in the bunch"

Since the conclusion of the Terrio trial,
County Attorney Cover has received
many letters and words of commend
ton for the able and efficient work he
put into that case. He is entitled to and
receives full credit for the use of the
microscope in the hands OF Prof. Whi'-
tier, upon the firing pin of the Terrio
rifle and upon primers of shells dis
charged from that rifle. We understand
this particular line of microscopic invC :
tigation was never before used in the
trial of any case in court, criminal or
civil. When hard'at work upon the IN
vestigation of this difficult case, this
project dawned upon the mind of M
Cover, and the trained eye aud hand ot
Prof. Whittier with the microscope
helped carry it into effect. 1t is gencf-
ally held, that this scientifically develop
ed evidence was the turning point in the
case, and Mr.. Cover is entitled to full
credit for its discovery and application.

"SAM" AND 'MORG."
Are Trying to Capture the Republican
 State Machine.

Are Trying to Capture the RepuDhcan
 State Machine.
 A coalition between Sam Fessenden and Morgan G. Bulkeley to capture the republican state machine is being Friday night, says the Bridgeport Far mer, was the first step toward cement ing the forces. Morgan G. Bulkeley as chief agriculturist of the state has been q strong opponent of the constitu- tional convention, while MT Fessen- den's speech at the Hartford dinner in- dicates that he is satisfied with the present constitution, which he pro- nounced stalwart and enduring, pre- dieting that it was possible that when the convention met the delegates would deem it inadvisable to make a change.
 War between the opposing factions of the republican party is to be waged, and the Fyler-McLean organization will have to combat the allied forces of Bulkeley and Fessenden. The plan in the big political deal is to capture the United States senatorships. Fessen- den to succeed Senator O. IT. Platt, whose term expires in 1903, and ex- Governor Bulkeley to be the successor of Senator Joseph R. Hawley.
 It is necessary to head off Cover nor Mclean, so the two old warriors of former days have buried the hatch ct for this common purpose. It was significant that Governor Mclean, Chairman o. R. Fyler, Senator Platt, Senator Hawley, Congressman E. T. Hill and others who were arrayed against Our Sam in the recent polit- ical strife all had pressing engage ments. BulBeley has lost caste with Chairman Fyler and the governor, and his alliance with the Stamford man is the only hope of either
 Their first purpose is to nu1lify the constitutional convention, and stand ing shoulder to shoulder with the del- egates from the small towns they an- ticipate gaining ground for the battle to come later. While the dinner was said to have no political significance and the principal speakers emphasized this, they hammered at the constitu- tional convention with forceful argu- ments, designed to make an impress sion on those seated at the tables, many of whom have been chosen dele gates.

Says He Will Prosecute Vigorous Cam
 paign Against Game Law Violators.
 New Haven. Nov 12.-W. E. Beach of this city. game warden for New Haven county. says there is a great amount of violation of the game laws this season, and he is determined to prosecute vigorous campaign against all .violators who are apprehended through his deputy wardens. Already there have been three convictions in Waterbury and three in Cheshire for hunting on Sunday. The deputy war dens were out Sunday searching for viOIators of the law, but to yesterday it was not learned that any arrests were made. It is said that the arrest made in this city for selling quail turns out to have been pigeons that were sold, instead. It is reported that there was only one quail in the lot. The hunters in this city who are anx- iOus to live up to the law say that there is a great deal of illegal hunt ing in this county and this violation of the law results in greatly decreasing the game supply. They heartily sec ond and approve the efforts of the game wardens in their effort to bring them to book for violating the game Jaws.

Mrs William Quinn Receives Letter
 From Her Sons Comrade.
 The following letter was sent to the Democrat to-day regarding the death of William Quinn in the Philippines:
 Lumbang, Laguna Province, P. I.
 Sept 24, 1901.
 Mrs William Quinn. 49 South Willow
 street, Waterbury, Conn.
 I just received your letter of August 14 and I will at any time be only too glad to give you all the information that can regarding the death of your son William. Your son had been com plaining for a week or so before he went to the hospital. He was there two weeks before he died and was un- conscious four days before he passed away. His last thoughts were of you, lis mother. and his sister Annie. His death was painless. He passed away quietly. He knew he was in bad way and I think he knew he was go- ing to die Bill was q lad that seldom complained. no matter how sick he was, and had little to say before he died. His death was great sorrow 10 all of us as he always had q kind word for everybody. His songs and witty sayings were the life of the com- pany and it took us a long time to real iZe he had passed away. But, as you say. the Almighty has His own ends. We all sympathize with you from our hearts as it must have broken your heart when you received that evil let ter. But someone had to inform you. It took me a whole day to write it and I hope I will never have to send an other message of that kind again. have never felt right since Bill has gone as we were like brothers. We both knew each others troubles. If ways eonfided with Bill He always did the same with me and I miss him greatly. We slept side by side for almost two years. If live to return to the States would be only too glad to meet Willie's father. mother. sisters and brothers Then I can tell you everything in a better way than on paper The name of the place where Willie died is Navracan-Illicose. Now the company has moved away Willie is buried back of the Catholic church Before we went away we visited his grave and placed q tombstone there with his name and age engraved. T token of esteem from his comrades and with sad hearts we took our last farewell. so I will close for the pres ent. Goodbye, from your son Will Hams friend.

MORE STOLEN COPPER
Men Hurried Away When Discovered, Leaving 1,Uo Bars of the Metal.

Men Hurried Away When Discovered,
 Leaving Two Bars of the Metal.
 John Downey. the man in charge of fhe city yard on Benedict street, had an exciting experience last night and came near being the hero of copper escapade which would put the Porter woods copper case in the shade; that is. he came within an ace of capturing a band of copper thieves, and failing to do this he did the next best thing by soaring them so badly that they dropped their booty and disappeared as fast as their horse could carry them. About Il o'clock, just as MT Downey had remoyed his shoes preparatory to retiring for the night, he heard q car riage roll by the office and stop short distance down the street. He opened the door and looked out to see what was mp and was surprised to see the occupants unloading something that appeared so heavy that two men had all they could do to handle It. Downey's curiosity was aroused at the strange sight and he walked toward the men. but he had not gone far ID that direction when they saw him ana jumped into the team hurriedly, gave the horse q lash of the whip and gal loped away along Liberty street ln the direction of South Main street. Down ey then went up to the spot where the team had been standing and was re- warded by a find of two long bars of copper each weighing about hundred pounds. He took it into the office and then telephoned to. the police station. A short time later Detective Cahey ap- peared on the scene and was put in possession of such information as Mir DOwney had relating to the copper. It iS supposed that the men had more copper in the carriage and intended to hide it there and return to the place from where it had been stolen and get a few bars more and then come back and load up. It is also Surmised that they had accomplices who were to come along and pick up the copper where they had started to unload it: but. of course. this Is nothing more than conjecture. Anyway. it shows that the business of stealing copper is still going on and that those who are engaged in it are willing to run big risks to get hold of it. If Downey had suspected the men for thieves he might have contrived some scheme to get hold of them. but the purpose of their stopping there never dawned upon him until he saw the copper. Lhe copper is now awaiting q claimant at the city ward

Held An Outing Yesterday to InYesti-

 The board of public works went on an outing yesterday afternoon and in vestigated petitions for public inn provements in Church street, Cottage Cherry and Maple streets. The board called at Ashley street. where the new school is being built, and were look ing over the ground when the rain commenced to come down so hard that it was deemed advisable to get in out of the wet, and the party returned to the city hall. Nothing definite was agreed to, but for the short time they were out much information was ob- tained which will be useful at some frl- ture meeting when the petitions inyes- tigated will come before the board for final action. The grade and layout of Ashley street is very important The new school will be ready for oc- cupancy next spring and the city will have to hustle in. order to get the street in shape so that children can get to it without running. risks of break ing their bones. It never was accept ~dA anu At Ao ACSdA0C0 GtS dn Out Ol luG way place to erect q public school But it has been decided to locate there so that there is no use talking about that matter at this hour of the day.

 I am told that when Pierre lay dying at the Fifth Avenue Hotel a certain lady dressed in black and heavily yelled, just as Wilkie Collins mysterious ladies al ways did, frequently called to see him. Some confused this caller with Mrs. Lo- rillard and said reconciliation had been effected, but this was not so. No reconcil- iation took place. After the funeral heavy yelled lady called at the Surrogate's office to see if the viii had been filed.
