ON DEMURRER
Court Passed in Mar
berger Case.

In the case of Frank e. Marberger
against the city of Canton, in which he
attempts to collect balance of salary
alleged to be due as clerk of the water
works department, demurrer to the
answer of the city had been argued to
the court and Monday morning Judge
Ap,bler passed upon the question.
The court held that the demurrer
should be sustained on the first two
causes alleged and overruled as to the
last, which is the main contention of
the case. The judge held it would be
necessary to prove that there was ne
cessity for hiring Marbureer for term
Of two years instead of one, and that
the board had no right to bind fu-
ture board with contract entered in
to when there was no necessity for 1t.
The case will have to be tried along
this line.
The Part of the demurrer that was
sustained related to the giving of no
tice under the ordinance and as to
whether or not this was an ordinary
expense. Will l.. Day represented
Marberger and Solicitor Hughes the
city.

south, however, will extend into nun

day. The Ohio is expected to reach
its height at this point tomorrow.
IN PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, March 3.-This city and
Allegheny have so far recovered from
the flood as to have resumed all or
binary traffic and to have in a great
measure overcome the inconvenience
brought about by the high waters. The
only portions of either city still un-

Pennsylvania avenue in Pittsburg and
the Woods Run district in Allegheny.
Both of these sections will probably
be out of the waters clutch before
morning. as the rivers are steadily
falling here and at all points above.
LOSS OVER A MILLION.
All day long great gangs of men
have been at work pumping cellars,
carting away debris, and cleaning up
generally. while other crowds of
sight-seers looked on, encouraging or
chatting, as the humor struck them.
An estimate of the damage done
here by the flood Is hard to get at
today, but conservative men place
the total at about $1.250,00 This in

property loss. Reliable merchants say
the loss in the Penn avenue district
alone. from Lincoln hotel to Twelfth

ATTEMPT TO BURN A BOY.

New Haven, Jan 31.-Because Frank Arato, an inmate of the county home for boys, carried to the superintendent a report of misconduct on the part of Frank W. Wyman, another inmate, years old, Wyman set fire last night to the cot on which Arato was sleep ing. Arato was bfistered about the thighs and his bed clothing and night gown were burned, but the fire was extinguished before much damage was done. In city court yesterday Wyman was committed to the state school on charge of arson. This is the second act of the kind at the home within a week, two other boys having been sent to the state school last Monday for similar act.

VACCINATION AT THE JAIL.

The inmates of the Hartford county jail have been vaccinated during the past week by the jail physician, Dr Crary, and the hospital steward. This has been deemed wise in view of the fact that some of them come from To- calities where smallpox has been re- ported. 1t is possible that if prospec- tive occupants of the jail would consid- CT that sore arms are to be added to their punishment they would be lit tie more shy of committing ofrenses that would lead them under the s.scratcher' and vaccine gull.

POLICE COURT DolNGS.
Boy Charged With Stealing Suit of
 Clothes

The disappearance of suit of clothes on Wednesday night, November 20, from the house of Mrs Futile, 108 Park avenue, formed the business of Judge Peasley in the city court to-day. It was singular story. On that night a young fellow, Albert s. Crosson, the villain in the case, and who said his age was 14, went at midnight to Mrs 1'uttle's and asking her if she remem- bered him told her that he had come from New York, and that his father having moved he did not know where to find him and therefore had no place to stay that night. Mrs Futile keeps q boarding house and got Charles Dun- field to allow Cresson share or his bed. CroSson told Dunfield that he had come from New Haven and was going to New York the next day to see his brothers, who were sailors. Dunfield left the house while Crosson was asleep the next morning, and when Crosson went down stairs. and presented himself to Mrs Futile the latter noticed how feshy he seemed tO have grown during the night. But she made no comment. Crosson told her he was unable to pay her, but would do so some time. She said that was all right Crosson declined cup of coffee, remarking that 1t would spoil his breakfast It was 8 o'clock when Crosson went his way.
 That night when Dunfield came home he missed his brown suit of clothes, and then the remarkable growth of her guest during the night before recurred to Mrs Futile. A com plaint was accordingly lodged against Crosson for the theft of q brown suit of clothes valued at $1o.
 Judge Low, counsel for the accused, tried to prove that Crosson was always chubby and until recently had been as broad as he was long. Such was the case against Crosson, but Judge Lowe moved for his discharge and Prosecutor Durant asked that jail sentence be imposed as the boy was wanted in Palmer, Mass, for theft. Crosson was then put on the stand and he told q story to the effect that his mother and father have separated. That his father has been employed by the Waterbury Lumber and Coal Co and his mother lives in Palmer with her people and IS known as Madame Truo, a palmist, when she goes on the road. He denied knowing anything whatever about the suit of clothes and insisted that he told Dunfield the same story that he had told Mrs Futile. He went to Palmer, he said, after leaving Mrs Tut tie and stayed there until about three weeks ago. when $1O0 was taken from 'the old folks" and he did not care to live upon them any longer. That was his reason for leaving Palmer. He was never charged with taking this $100. He has been in town threa weeks and has not worked since last November.
 There was some question as to the boys age. Though he said he was IL in which statement he was maintained by his father. it was held that he was r. This question became so warm that Judge Lowe volunteered and in fact did get the town records. But these threw no additional light on the question. MT Crosson said he was married the year the Soldiers monu- ment was dedicated. but could not say when the son was born. so that the bows age was left unsettled. The boy was committed to the state school.
