MINERS BAND.
Touring Eastern states-Will Remain
 in Waterbury Few Days.

The Lithuanian miners band of Shen- andoah, Pa., which is making tour of the eastern states to procure funds for the striking miners, arrived Tn this city and will remain here for several days. Arrangements will probably be made by which the band will give concert in the. City hall. Besides they will serenade different business places. Last night they sere- naded several places in the Brooklyn district and were given a fine recep- t1on. 4 Democrat reporter had short talk with q member of the band, which contains 26 members, this morn ing The musician said in part: We miners must win. We will not give in unless concessions are granted. One company in Shamoxin has already granted q reduction in hours and in creased the pay to it's employees but the miners will not return to work at this colliery until the other operators give in. It is impossible to tell when the strike will end. It has lasted 13 weeks already, but we miners have mot the least thought of giving in. There is very little dissension among the miners. In our town, Shenandoah, the people are solid for us. We are just as strong as on the first day of the strike. A miner receives about $2 a day and laborer $1.75 a day. The work is very hard and dangerous. Some of the contractors reap all the harvest, some of them making about $50 a week. But then there are ex- captions, the condition of affairs be- ing such that some contractors find it hard to pay expenses. The married man gets the worst of it. What the reason for this is I don't know. The miners are in a fairly good condition and are far from being ill a starving condition. During the strike q caar- 1ied man has been receiving $S worth of groceries, etc, every month while single man receives $6 worth. Fl tell you that amount of groceries helps good deal ill the present situ- ation. In nearly all the towns where the miners are on strike bands have been organized to tour different states to raise funds for the miners. There are about 9 bands. We have been touring for about four wwcks, during which time we have visited Philadel- cities. We have been treated very we'll along the line and have received much help in q pecuniary manner for the miners. We were in Brooklyn, N. Y, for a week and we have the great est praise for the manner in which we were, treated by the residents of that place. We will probably stay here until next Monday and will give q concert in the City hall if suitable ar engagements can be made"

POLICE COURT DOINGs.
Boy Charged With Theft Discharged
 By Judge Burpee.

A broken cymba1 occupied the at tention of Judge Burpee in the city court today. It belongs to Joseph Pereke who keeps q boarding house at 229 Bank street. He had moved from South Elm street and the cymbal was in trunk with a portion of a brass band and two electric motors. The trunk was in wagon and the wagon was in the yard of Kelly's livery stable on Bank street. Sunday afternoon Pereke missed the electric motors and saw a small boy named Rocco Perugini with the broken cym- bal. There were two or three other boys with Perugini but when they saw him they ran. Perugini was caught and charged with the theft of the motors. The two boys testified that they knew nothing about the motors. They were playing a game they called run, sheep run," when they saw the broken cymbal under the seat of q wagon. Judge Burpee did not like the story told by the boys, but he had to give the accused the benefit of the doubt and discharged him. Ralph Ceaser was fined $5 and costs for in toxication.

REAL ESTATE AIIX-TP.
Singular Case to Come Before Super
 for Court.

for Court.
 The suit of the Cooperative Saw ings Society of Connecticut and Attor- ney NJ. J. Byrne, administrator on the estate of the late Emelia Schindler, against Frederick J. Kingsbury, F H. Humphrey and George Schindler is one of the most singular that has eyer been filed in the superior court The trouble is all over a mortgage deed, and the plaintiff seeks the reformation of the said deed, $3,o00 damages and '.such other relief as the court may see fit to grant, Attorney McNa- hon appears for the Cooperative com pany
 A few years ago the Schindlers bought two lots on Birch street from MT Kingsbury To simplify the situ- ation in the lawsuit, these lots should be remembered as No l and No 2 On lot No Mrs Schindler had bond for deed and at the time of her death there was due on it only S7. She bor- rowed from the Cooperative Savings society $1,200 and gave that organiza- ton a mortgage deed on lot No i to secure the loan. Subsequently she gave a further mortgage for $343. 40 on the same lot to the Waterbury Lumber and Coal company. This last mortgage deed was subject to the conditions of that held by the Cooper. atiye society. With the money thus borrowed the Schindlers built house. It was built on lot No 2, whereas it ap- pears to have been Mrs Schindler's k- tention to have it built on lot No l. At all events they took possession of the house and lived there until Au- gust, 1901, when Mrs Schindler died.
 The complaint alleges that, follow ing Mrs Schindler's death, her hus- band and Mir Humphrey induced MT Kingsbury to convey the house and lot No 2 to MT Humphrey, the latter paying the amount due on the prop erty, ST, to MT Kingsbury. The com plaint alleges that at that time the property named was worth at least $2, 800.
 To quote the complaint still fur ther: On October 3O 1901, MT Humphrey transferred the property to Ernest Schweible flor valuable con- sideration," and that none of this sum was paid over to the administrators. Thus it will be seen that serious trouble has arisen over q very pecul- far blunder. The case is returnable to the next term of the superior court.

 ESSEX, Conn, Sept. lS.--David Hay den, an insane veteran of the civil war, shot and probably fatally wounded two of the meat prominent citizens of the town and when the authorities were about to capture him blew the top of his head off with shotgun.
 Hayden stopped Judge Coulter on the street about o'clock i'll the afternoon and asked if the judge had grudge against him. Coulter laughingly re- piled No, whereupon Hayden drew a revolver and fired twice. One bullet en- tered directly below the heart and am other ill the side. Coulter attempted to disarm the man, and in the struggle the revolver was discharged. and third bullet entered Coulters hand. He succeeded ill getting the revolver, how ever, and Hayden fed ts9t
 First Selectman Pratt witnessed part of the affair and gave chase, but Hay den gained on him rapidly and ran to his house, where he procured a shot gun and shot his pursuer just over the heart as he attempted to enter the dl d.

The latter became frightened and ran into the street, call ing for assistance A moment later the report of gun was heard ill the rear of the house, and when the crowd which had collected ran into the back yard they found Hayden on the ground with the top of his head blown off. On the ground beside him was the shot gun with which he had wounded Pratt and then ended his own life.
 Pratt and Coulter were taken to the Memorial hospital in New London.
 Hayden was dishonorably discharged from the navy In 1861 and has tried repeatedly to geta pension. He has al- ways been refused and blamed every one who refused to take up his case. This is the only reason that can be ad- vanced for the shooting.
