12-YEAR OLD WITNESS.
Tells How Her Grandfather Shot His
 Wife and Daughter.

New York, April 3O.-With remark able composure twelve year old Maud Ferguson, the only living witness of the shooting of her mother and grand mother in their home in MiIburn last February, has testified at Newark to facts which, if substantiated, will convict her grey-haired grandfather, Philomen Crelin.
 The girl, who was looked upon as the star witness for the state, told a straightforward story. While she spoke there were few dry eyes in the court room.
 On the night of the shooting. she said, her grandfather came into the house. and after a few words shot her grandmother, killing her instantly.
 Then he shot the witness mother and fired a shot at the witness as she dlved under table at which she had been writing. He then turned the revolver on himself but the wound in dicted did not prove fatal, much to Crelin's regret
 While the girl was testifying Crelin never raised his head

Those Who Oppose The One And Sixty Plan of Representation.

The Majority of Those at the Confer

WILL BOOM REAL ESTATE.
South End People Fortunate in Get
 ing New School.

South End People Fortunate in Get
 ing New School.
 Mayor Kilduff thinks that the pro- posed new school in the south end will revolutionize things in that part of the town. He says it will give real es- tate there boom so that people who have large tracts of land can go to the expense of cutting them up into streets with the assurance that they can dis pose of them at a reasonable price. Mayor Kilduff is no Wiggins and on this account there is reason to believe that this is no false prediction. Some people laughed at him ill the past when he contended that if city officials would put up bold front to corporations and insist upon getting something from them for the right to use public streets the taxpayers would realize a little revenue out of these enterprises in- stead of letting the whole of it go to enrich private corporations. In this he has been amply vindicated At the present time the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co is building a $3O.OOO retaining wall on the Watertown road which would some day have to be done at the expense of the city had it not been for Mayor IIilduff's stubborn ness" as those who considered the mayor wrong were pleased to term his attitude towards the trolley people. For several years he has been made an object of much criticism because he thought if the officials held out they could compel the Southern New Eng land Telephone Go to consent to give the city duct for the police signal and fire alarm wires in their street con duits. As it looks now things are coming that way, so that when his honor sees q bright future for the south end it is not unreasonable to believe that he knows what he is talking about. Let us hope so. The district mentioned has been in the city since it was incorporated, half century ago, and the owners of property there have been paying full taxes on it all those years with poor prospect of ever realizing anything for their efforts. It was a hardship on the people to have included the place in the city at the beginning. It should have been left in the town until the act of con, solidation was passed, and evel then it is a question if it was fair 10 have included it ill the inside district. But, perhaps, it properly belongs there now and if things move that way, as we are assured they will, people will try and forget about the past. Many of those who reclaimed the land and made it look like what it is today, have long since been called to their reward. but a large share of the property is still in possession of their descendants, so that after all the sturdy souls who cleared the woods, blasted the rocks and turned up the soil in the South End at a time when there was but scant promise of reward for their toll, left something behind them that their chil- dren may yet profit by, if they only possess the same push and energy that animated their fathers, and their mothers, too, for it is a fact that the women played no insignificant role in the development of property in that part of Waterbury.

Worker at Brewery Met Horrible DeaWas Caught in Machinery of Mash Tub and Life Crushed Out of fim-Wiam Cousey Caught Under Freight Cars and Crushed-Was Yard Master at Highland Dvsion-D Died From His

 Hamilton, and his wife. He was re-
 moved to the hospital, but after the ipuySlclanS learned the nature or ms injuries they had little hope of his recovery. He fingered until after 8 o'clock when deatA ended his suffer- 1 ing.

COMPANY REFUSES TO PAY.
And Case May Be Kept in Court In-
 definitely.


 A motion for debt on judgment in the case of James Brennan against the Berlin Iron Bridge Go has been denied by Judge Case of the superior court. The motion was made orally by Attor- ney ONeill some weeks ago and the courts memorandum says "Thc pres ent state of the pleadings makes 1t inn possible for the court to entertain an oral motion for Judgment" That is. unless one has followed this remarSa- ble case, it is almost impossible to un- derstand it. Brennan was given two judgments, one for $50 and costs. and the other for $3,000 and costs. Defend ant refused to pay, whereupon execu- tlon was taken. Even then the "om- psny refused to pay and the oral no- ton for debt on judgment was made. The case has already beer five or SIX times before the supreme court, and about ten times before the superior court. Every time the lower court de- cided against the plaintiff and vet lie was upheld by the supreme court. ,The case promises to take another trip to the supreme court. It has been de- cided on it's merits, however The de- fendant's refusal to pay the Judgment is a new feature which may keep it in court indefinitely.

GermanaI In Brazil.

BERLIN, April 30.-The Hanseatic Colonization company, which holds concession to 1,6OO, ,0OO acres of land in southern Brazil, says in its annual re port that the total number of colonists of German origin who have settled on the company's concessions in seven years is 1900. Among these colonists are several hundred from the United States who found land there to be too expensive. The emigration of Germans for the quarter ending March 3l was three times as great as that which oc- cured during the corresponding quar- ter of 1901, and the number of inquiries received indicate that this increase will continue to grow.
