Three horses and one COW were burned to death. The loss is about $1 ,500. A short time after the fire was extinguished the firemen discover ed the charred body of a man.

During the past few days several farmers who own real estate in East Canaan have been d1sposing of their property at good figure. For some | reason unknown to the public the New | England Lime company is very desir- ous of securing property along the line of the Central New England railroad in his section.

TO PREVENT BUSINESS FRAUDS
Bill Proposed By Judge Peasley Con-
 corning Transients.

During the past year several in- stances of business juggling have come to the attention of Judge Peasley by which wholesalers have been defraud- ed. He has drawn up a measure to be enacted by the legislature by which protection shall be given to business houses in this state. For instance, persons come here and do business un- der the name of the Bluff Beef Go. They go along very we'll until local house undertakes to collect from them. Then they find no one responsible for the debts of the Bluff Beef Co and there is confusion and generally fraud.
 Following is the provision of the bill proposed by Judge Peasley:
 An Act Concerning the Names of Per
 sons Dolng Business in This State Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House
 of Representatives in General As
 sembly Convened:
 Section 1. Hereafter no person or persons shall carry on or transact bus mess in this state, under any assumed name or under any designation, name or style, corporate or otherwise, other than the real name of the individual or individuals carrying on such busE- ness, unless before commencing busi- ness under such assumed name, a cer- tifcate setting forth the name under which the business is to be transact ed and the true full name or names of the person or persons conducting such business, with his or their postoffice addresses, shall be filed in the office of the town clerk of the town where such business is to be carried on.
 Section 2 Persons now carrying on business under an assumed name or under any designation, other than their real name. shall file certificate, such as is above described, within thir. ty days after this act takes effect.
 Section 3. If any person shall vio- late the provisions of either of the pre- ceding sections, he shall forfeit $500 to him who shall sue therefor and a like sum for every month for the con tinuance of such neglect.

 Note Book.
 Somebody wants to know what would happen if the trolley cars were running on Baldwin street now. That s foolish question. The conditions wouldn't be one jot different on Bald win street to what they are on the streets where the company is running cars. The Baldwin street people would manage to get along without the trol- ley the same as their neighbors. That's all anybody has reason to suspect would occur on Baldwin street if the street railroad was in full blast there to-day.
 A notion prevails among some people !, that there is a provision in the con- stitutiona1 law of the state which pro- vides that no court shall impose an ex- cessive bond upon persons charged with offenses and who may desire to take an appeal. If this be true are not bonds of $1 ,50O pretty stiff for an of fense which under ordinary conditions would not call for anything more se- were than a fine of about $1O and costs, probably less than that? If l were limb of the law should go to work at once and take habeas corpus proceedings in favor of citizen treat ed in this manner, not because I might have any sympathy with his ideas, but with view to proving that the power of the courts in this country is auto cratic.
 N 6oI chn f4o1Iy o +Io- 4pnI lnu strike to-day with one of the sharpest business men in the city, and while the gentleman has the reputation of being a far-seeing citizen thought he took rather pessimistic view of the situation. He was afraid that the company and the men would not come to an understanding and that in all probability the non-union men would lremain here for good, thus putting peo- pie face to face with conditions which would be very detrimental to the city from many standpoints. In such an event he was of the opinion that in a short time probably third of those who have been in the habit of patronizing the trolley tcars would get tired walking and start to ride as usual while the x others would keep up the fight for an indefinite period. This, he thought would be the worst thing that could happen, with the exception of strike in the shops, because in addition tc . putting a lot of people to serious in convenience it would create bad feel ing which would last during the life time of the present generation. Such \ things are not minded, he, said 1T <. large cities, but in places the size oi B d Waterbury it is quite different. After listening to what my friend had tc n say I tried to have him look at the bright side of things, telling him thai the row will be over in a few days and that when the men return tc work the excitement will be short sa lived and the whole affair will be noth ing more than "a nine-days' wonder .i He hoped was right, but added that 5 be was afraid that I was mistaken.

POLICE COURT DOINGS
Man Charged With Theft Found Not
 Guilty by Judge Burpee.


 The case for theft against Giovanni Rinaldi fell to pieces in the city court to-day. Be1ore 1t was well started Judge Burpee said he saw no evidence of theft, that it was not a matter for the city court at all. The complainant was the Adams Express Co. It ap- peared that some time last Novemb ber Rinaldi was about a month ill the coun- try. He was living on Jackson street and was expecting chest or trunk from Italy. Instead of one he got three. They came through the Adams Express Go. Their contents consisted of bedding and domestic goods, about POO worth in all, though he was charged with theft of only $75 worth. Some time later the local office received a let ter from the agent on Forty-eighth street, New York, to the effect that two chests had been misdirected to Rinaldi, their proper address being Tor rington. By that time Rinaldi had dis posed of some of the goods, 1t was claimed, so that the company could not recover them for the rightful own CT. But Rinaldi thought they were his. he was expecting similar goods.
 | AAA AACSI dy CAlC OApACSS uLlfCI for the company, failed to recognize the man who received the goods, not withstanding that he was sitting di- rectly in front of him. Taylor said that the man who received the chests and paid for the express said they be- longed to him. while Attorney Gull foile, counsel for the accused, contend ed Rinaldi could not speak a word Of English, being only about a. month in the country. Judge Burpee did not think the clements of theft entered into the case at all and found the accused not guilty. A civil suit may be en- tered.
 Michael Horan was sentenced to thirty days in jail for vagrancy He was found in Sackett's barn with a blanket over him which he had taken off a horse.

An Evening Blaze.

The alarm Of fire last evening was
from the livery barn Of D .sP' r r odgers 8
on Chatham street, owned by Mrs. Jack
Keyser. The upper story 3of the barn,
which contained 50 me 300 or 400 bush.
els of oats, about SO bushels of corn,
seven or eight tons Of hay and II or515
cutters, was entirely destroyed, making
a loss Of about $1,000 to Mr.. Rodgers,
covered by about $500 insurance. The
horses, buggies, ETC., on the lower floor
we're taken to the Hagen feed barn,
where Mr.. Rodgers will continue bust
ness until his new barn is eady for oc-
cupancy. The loss on the building is
covered by Insurance. The roofs and
walls Of the Cronon block adjoining
were damaged to considerable extent
but were insured. The Jas. D. Smith
grocery on the lower, floor of Nos. 3O7
to 311 Bridge street was damaged some
by water and smoke; insured, but in.
the upper story, which he used for liy.
ing rooms, he sustained quite a loss to
his household goods, with no insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown, as
no one connected with the barn had
been in the hayloft for nearly two
hours previous, and only for the good
work of the firemen the conaagration
would have covered a much larger area
as the entire hayloft was mass Of
flames when discovered and an alarm
sent in. - .'>|5 Il ~
