St. Mnry's R (. Badiy Damaged Early
 This Morning.

New Britain, Jan. 2l-Residents of this town residing near St. Mary's Ro- man Catholic church were startled by an explosion about 12:30 tonight, and soon after the church was discovered to be on fire general alarm was sent in and the entire department turn ed out to fight the flames which had gained great headway, The fire had started in the basement of the church, and fifteen minutes after the alarm had been sent in the church, which is one of the most beautiful in New Eng land was wrapped in flames. Fathers Leddy and Herty, who were sleeping in the parish house nearby, were aroused and ran to the church. The priests ran into the burning structure and endeav- ored to save the blessed sacrament. The flames were too hot, however and they were rescued with great difficulty by the firemen. A t half past one it became evident that the interior of the edifice would be completely destroyed, The church is a brown stone structure and has a chapel in the basement. It was built in 1888 at a cost of $50, ,000. It is estimated that the loss will reach $5O,- 900. The cause of the explosion which started the fire is a mystery, as the boiler rooms are removed from that portion of the building.

WATER CONTRACT HELD UP

 Sale of West Rock Park Land to l..
 Wheeler Beeeher.
 The board of councilmen last night took non-concurrent action with the all dermen on the water contract recom- mended for adoption by the water com tee report and recommendation for printing, the vote by which this action was taken being 25-13.
 AS at the meeting of the aldermen Monday night, at last nights meeting to watch proceedings, occupying all the available seats and standing room.
 After all the other business on the table had been attended to last night the report of the water committee which was accepted and adopted by the aldermen Monday night was taken up.
 Councilman Bracken at once took the floor and moved that the reading of the report be dispensed with and that the report be tabled for printing. He called for an aye and nay vote and it was so ordered
 Councilman Hosley. member of the water committee, said that the com- mittee report had been printed in the daily papers and that the members had thus been given ample opportunity to read over the recommended contract and consider it.
 Councilman Bracken said that the committee had been given power to hold public meetings and report back the contract or contracts submitted by the water company. If the committee had shown proper courtesy to the com mon council the report would have been first submitted to the council and then given to the papers for publication. For the members to vote intelligently on the proposed contract an opportunity should be given to have it printed and He thought that there was no need of hasty action.
 Councilman Elliott endorsed what was said by Councilman Bracken and said that the matter should be pro- ceeded with in business like way. If the contract was a good one it would keep for few days. The members ought to have time to think it over and hear from their constituents in regard

Albany, Jan 21-The feature of the twenty-ffth annual meeting of the New York State Bar association this evening was the gathering of a distinguished audience in the assembly chamber to greet the French ambassador, M. Jules Cambon, and the Hon. James M Beck, assistant attorney general of the United States.
 Prior to the meeting the visitors were guests of Chief Justice Alton B. Parker, of the court of appeals, at dinner 1t his home Other guests present were the Hon. w. K. Townsend, of the United States circuit court, President White, of the Montreal bar, President Ray mond, of Union college. and ex-presi- dents of the New York State Bar asso- citation.
 M. Cambon, the French ambassador, had chosen a most interesting subject, The Relations of Diplomacy to the De- velopment of International Law, Public and Private.' He opened his address by saying that there are few callings which are more misunderstood by the public than that of a diplomat It is readily assumed in some quarters, he said, that the prime function of diplo- mat is simply to serve on all occasions of international courtesy, while in oth- CTS it appears to be the idea that the paths over which the diplomat travels are deep and dark and that conse- quently diplomacy is in it's essence in- trieue, pure and simple. It would be difficult to conceive grosser error, said the ambassador. The fundamental duty of diplomacy, the ambassador de-

Dear Sir: You are aware of the
fact that last summer I began the re-

all previous arrangements of the same

managed by Mr.. S. Selig.
AT the suggestion of Hon. Pleasant
A. Stovau and other influential citi-
zens, wish again to ask you to ac-
cept the management of the same"
Mr.. Parks IS quite convinced that an
excellent field for the course exists in
Savannah and he believes that the an
nOuncement that it will be afforded will
cause general satisfaction among those
who like the fine attractions that are
afforded by lecture courses.

STUCK 1T TO SCHROEDER.
Fine of $500 and Costs or Twelve
Months on the Gang.

William Schroeder's steady run of
good luck struck a snag in the City
Court yesterday, when Judge Norwood,
acting upon a jury's verdict finding
Schroeder guilty of larceny, sentenced
him to pay a fine of $500 and costs or
serve a term of twelve months on the
chain gang of the county. Schroeder re-
ceived the sentence with a gasp.
The details of this last chapter in
Schroeder's checkered career have been
made familiar by frequent repetition
The newspapers devoted much space
to the occurrence at the time, and the
case has been once before tried in the
City Court Then a mistrial resulted
Briefly the states contentious, which
were amply supported by evidence,
were that Schroeder had entered in
to an arrangement with Spencer Nc
Nance well known colored crook,
and another negro, to assist in the
theft of trolley wire from one of the
lines of the Savannah Electric Com
pany near ThunderbOlt The execu-
ton of the plan was attempted, but
the criminals were surprised in the
act and the two negroes arrested.
Schroeder and d companion, a white
man, made their escape.
McNamee and his pal were arraign-
ed in the City Court, found guilty and
sentenced to serve a year on the gang,
where they now are. Gradually the
tolls closed around Schroeder and he
was arrested. Then and since he has
Indignantly protested his innocence,
but the evidence the solicitor general
was in a position to submit to the jury
was too strong and convincing, and
only a few minutes were consumed in
the return of a verdict of guilty. The
negro who had caught the men in the
act identified Schroeder positively;
Randolph Kirkland, a junk dealer told
of the mans offer. before the commits
sion of the crime, to sell him copper
wire. and McNamee and his fellow
criminal came in from the changing
to turn states evidence. They said
Schroeder was the brains and the in
spiration of the whole evil game.
A Ronst From the Bench.
Judge Norwood recalled Schroeders
evil record in imposing sentence.
This is not your first offense." said
he to the prisoner. THE criminal re-
cords of this county show that you
have been convicted before on SINH
lar charge and. according to the YER
dict of the jury just returned, you fail
ed 10 take warning by this former ex-
perience. Your case is not one that
commends itself or you to the clemen-
cy of the court. The sentence of the
court is that you pay a fine of $500,
and costs, or in lieu thereof. serve
Twelve months on the chain-gang of
the county.
Your honor" said the defendant,
excitedly. "let me say just one word
before the jury leaves. 1 want"
sit down. said Mr.. Colding, the
mans counsel, Juggling vigorously at
the skirts of his coat. and Schroeder
sat down.
Il can't pay the fine" he said. as he
was taken into the sheriff's office; TN
have to serve the term on the gang"
Schroeder spent last night in Jail, but
an effort will probably be made to-day
TO give bond, pending the decision of
a motion for a new trial that will be
filed.
