INJURED AT GAS HOUSE.
Casting Weighing s1,45o Pounds Fell
 on William Sheehan.


 on William Sheehan.
 Here is an item which was sent to the Democrat office to-day: "A piece of casting weighing 1,450 fell upon William Sheehan at the Water bury Gas Co.'S works yesterday. The boiler caught the man on the stomach and side of the face and his fellow workmen had a hard time getting him from under it. They had to use crow bars. Dr AxtelIe and pr Donahue were summoned and found the man in a bad condition. After receiving some medical aid he was removed to his home, 453 Baldwin street, where he is done up in a plaster cast and is being attended by pr Donahue. who has hopes of his recovery" The in formation contained in the note re- minded the reporter that a few days ago someone told him that man had been killed at the gas house and that he had inquired of the company over the telephone if an accident had oc- cured there and received reply in the negative. Nothing more was thought of the thing until to-day. Up- on investigation we found that while nobody was killed our first informant was not very wide of the mark. MT Sheehan was seriously hurt at the gas house last Wednesday and while he will not be able to do anything for a long time, still it is thought that his in juries are not permanent and that with proper care he will pull through all right. It was a miracle how he es- capped being crushed to death.

ANOTHER ERUPTION.
Mont Pelee Has a Violent Outburat.
 The Sea Agitated.

The Sea Agitated.
 FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, June IA volcanic outburst from Mont Pelee resulted in the formation of g heavy cloud similar to that of May 20 last, though it was not>so dense.
 No stones fell and when the cloud had spread over Fort de France half an hour later there was no panic here.
 It is noted at Fort de France that the volcanic outbursts coincide with the changes of the moon.
 A dispatch from Kingstown, St. Vim cent, says that vessels leaving the is land of Martinique have experienced upheavals and agitations of the sea, pointing to submarine eruptions be- tween Martinique and St. Lucia.
 In the island of St. Vincent the shin ing fleece clouds which are continu- ally rising and spreading from the di- rection of the Soufriere volcano since May 16 and which have been mistaken for tropical clouds have proved to be steans emitted from the crater, from which flashes of flame are issuing nightly.
 The eruptions at Martinique seem to relieve the St. Vincent volcano materi- ally. Connection between the two vol canoes is indisputable.

AN UNPARALLELED ATTRACTION
Of Rare Wild Animals With Mains
 Grand Geological Exhibition.


 It is claimed, and with apparent req son, that there has never been on pub- lie exhibition any animal, or pair of them. to be compared in interest and actual intrinsic value with the monster male and female lion slayers which were recently purchased by MT Main from Cecil Rhodes of Buluwago, South Africa. These exceedingly rare, curi- ous and ferocious beasts were captured near their jungles, a short distance from Rhodesia. and are the finest speci- mems of their kind ever taken alive and aer the only ones in captivity. Anoth- CT peculiar animal new to America IS the white Filipino bull, which now forms a most rare and notable attrac- tion among the hundred of wild beast wonders in the stupendous menagerie, the like of which may never again be seen in this vicinity. Such collection merits far more than the hurried in- sDection accorded to the ordinary trav- cling menagerie. It is worth careful consideration and study. which the management solicits. Don't rush blind lv through the menagerie. there is ann pie room and accommodation for all corners under the immense canopy. and due notice is always given Take q good look at the interesting beasts; it will give you and the children some thing to talk about for many a day. Two performances, afternoon at 2, evening at 8. Doors open one hour earlier. Seating capacity 10000; 9 uniformed fushers.

POLITICS sIMMERING.
Democrats Think They Can Elect
 County shefiff This Year.


 The political pot is simmering; in fact, it might be said that it has reached the boiling point, and we may expect to see 1t spattering all over New Haven county in few days. It seems that the choicest morsel to be fished out of the pot is the nomination for the office of high sherifr, and if one can believe what he hears there is a dispo- sition all along the line to offer this toothsome morsel to Mayor KilduH of Waterbury. For obvious reasons the opinion seems to be general that t-e democrats can elect the county sheriff this year if they get together and agree on candidate on which all elements will unite. Mayor Kilduff is said to be keeping in the background so far as putting himself forward as candidate is concerned, but notwithstanding this those who claim to know something about his political aspirations make no bones in stating that if his party wants him to enter the lists he will accept the nomination and make d vigorous fight to win out.
 A down the valley man, whose poli- tics is not known to the reporter who is writing this article. said today that so far as he could judge a great ma jority of the electors i'll the towns be tween here and New Haven as we'll as in New Haven, have been talking Xiii duff for the past six months, and that he was somewhat surprised to hear that little or nothing had been said on the question in Waterbury He also stated that already considerable mis- sionary work had been done by the op- position and that If the democrats want to be in the swim they had better be up and doing without further delay.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Peace Improves the OutIoolx-Declins
 In Price of Farm Products.

Pence Improves the Outlook-Decline
 In Price of Farm Products.
 NEW YORK, June 7.-R. G. Dun &s Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Peace in South Africa has greatly improved the outlook. Foreign indus trial markets will quickly benefit by the development of that country, while a return to active gold mining will have a helpful influence in monetary circles. Owing to the present excep- tional home consumption producers in this country may not be able to take advantage of the opportunity immedi- ately, but even the indirect effects must be beneficial. Domestic condi- tions still have bat the one drawback of labor disputes, which have reduced the earning power of large force. Additional profit sharing and numer- ous advances of wages are reported, but new controversies have broken out elsewhere.
 Satisfactory weather in the leading producing regions had depressing in- fiuence on grain quotations, and last weeks advance was lost. Wheat was marketed more freely than in recent pICCtuluS WGChSs OuL WCSICiA lCSSlPto of 2,444 ,205 bushels fell short of the :, 3,468, ,S42 bushels in the same week lest year. Winter receipts of corn were 3, ATS, ,403 bushels against 4,713010 last year, but the comparison as to At lantic exports was 6S,887 bushels against 2,169,697 in 1901.
 Cotton was weaker owing to the very high figures of condition issued by the department and the indicated acreage of almost 2S,000,000.
 The larger supply of vegetables fruits and dairy products brought a decline of 7.3 per cent in that class, while breadstuffs fell about 2 per cent, but the effect on the aggregate was partial 1 ly neutralized by the firmness of meats and metals.
 Commercial failures, excluding all banking and similar fduciary defaults, numbered 1,080 during the month of May, involving liabilities of $9, 1O9, $40. In the corresponding month last year there were S73 defaults for $7,990, ,423, showing a considerable increase this year, both in number and amount of | liabilities.

 Others-New Trial Granted.
 The supreme court has handed down the following decisions:
 Error was found and the Judgment of the lower court reversed in the case of Nicholas Verzier and others against Augustine Y. COnvard of this city.

Wheeler, and an appeal was taken to the superior court by the defendant for alleged CT TOTS in the findings and rulings of the court Opinion by Judge Prentice.
 Error was found and q new trial granted in the case of Margaret Room
 
 sers. This was an action for damages for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff by falling into an excavation back of defendants store It was brought to the district court of Water bury where the plaintiff received judg- ment for $60J. An appeal was taken to the superior court where the case was heard in damages upon default before Judge George w. Wheeler and judgment was rendered for the plaint- if for $4,000. An appeal was taken by the defendant to the supreme court for alleged errors in the rulings and Judgment of the court Opinion by Justice Hall; all the justices concurred

Verdict was given for the plaintiff and the appeal taken by the defendant for alleged errors in the rulings and charge Of the court. On the trial of the case the point at issue was the age of Ellen q. Murray, whether or not she was 50 years old when she joined the society in May, 1898.

The passengers on the Eden were much alarmed. At. half past II o'clock almost entire darkness prevailed, and while three miles distant from the shore of the island of St. Lucia clouds of volcanic dust obscured the coast and made it difficult for the vessel to enter the harbor. At ? o'clock in the after noon the darkness was intense over St. Lucia.

A QUESTION OF LONG STANDING

The decision Of County Judge Light
foot Saturday in the back tax case Of
Auditors Agent Frank Lucas against
the Ayer-Lord Tie company for state
taxes claimed to be due on boats reg.
istered here is Of great Importance,
and had IL gone the other way would
doubtless have been the most serious
blow struck at the river interests Of
Psducah for many a year.
Briefly explained, it was claimed
that floating stock is subject to taxa.

ed, which contention was denied by
the Ayer-Lord Tie company, which
runs large number of its boats from
Psducah up Tennessee river, and pays
taxes on them at Chicago.
As the Importance Of every port is
determined by the amount of tonnage
registered there, and Paducah is rated
at the top, her river prestige would
seriously suffer should this tonnage be
reduced, and it would have had to be
reduced IL the decision of the court
had been that wherever boats are reg
itered state taxes can be collected, for
many Of the boats would no longer be
registered here.
Judge Lightfoot is the first judge to
pass on the question here. It had
come up before but was always decid-
ed by the authorities without appeal.
ing to the courts. II an appeal is tax,
en-, it will probably be decided the
same way in opinion of many able
lawyers.
Captain Baker, of the Ayer-Lord
Tie company, stated this morning
that the Marguerite recently bought
at Cairo, will not be regis tered here
until the question is settled. II the
higher courts decide that boats owned
by non-residents are taxable wherev-
er registered, the Ayer-Lord company
will register its entire feet ut Cairo,
instead of Paducah, and thus detract
great deal from the commercial and
maritime importance of this port.
