Chicago, jan 2.-William E. Curtis
in Washington special to the Record
Herald says:
The negotiations with Colombia fo1
canal treaty have been suspended
again and Secretary Hays patience is
very nearly exhausted. Mr.. Herran
the charge daffaires of Colombia, is
not to blame, for he has acted with en-
ergy, intelligence and good sense since
Minister Concha retired from the field
and returned to his country.
The treaty is practically completed
and is ready to sign. 1t was confident
ly expected that it would be signed be
fore the first of the new year, but for
some reason or another the authori-
ties at Bogota have forbidden Mr.. Her
ran, or at least will not authorize him,
to conclude the negotiations, and he
has gone to New Jersey, where Nelson
Cromwell, the attorney of the French
Canal company, is now lying i'll. It is
supposed that he is seeking CTGrnwell's s
advice because his goycl -A-ent is not
treating him fairly.
He was instructed to make the
treaty, but he is not instructed to sign
it, and if he signs it without positive
instructions he would not dare to re-
turn to his home.
The president is not inclined to tenn
porize with Colombia much longer
and the members of the senate and
house of representatives who have
taken the most interest in canal legis-
lation are of the opinion that the nego-
tiations with Colombia better be ter
minated, and work begun on the MIC
aragua route. AS soon as congress re
assemblies Mr.. Morgan in the senate
and Mr.. Hepburn in the house will
introduce resolutions instructing the
president not to bother with Colon.
Dla any longer, but to close with MIC
aragua and Costa Rica, and commence
construction. Such action will proba-
bly, bring Colombia to terms.

ALBERT NOETHER
 INJURED IN NEW YORK

Blight or ten days ago while playing i'll a football game here in the city, he broke the fingers of one hand and since that time his hand and arm have been car ried in sling. Friday morning he left home ostensibly to attend the Yale and Harvard football game in Cambridge yesterday afternoon. His parents had heard nothing from him until news of the accident was carried to them by a representative of the Democrat.

Jack" and Teddy
 Made Music and Smiles,

A social function occurred in City hall during the present week which at tracted more than ordinary attention, although the press has been very si- lent about the affair. It was the an nual dance and reception of the em- ployes of the Scovill Manufacturing Go, and was attended by nearly every person who works in that big plant and many of their friends. The grand march was led by c. r. Goss, Jr, and Mrs E. O. Goss. The Hon John Lines with several assistants making up an orchestra of twenty-two pieces, fur n1shed inspiration for the dancers, and those who were present say that Jack" as his friends are wont to term MT Lines, outdid all his previous eff forts In manipulating the violin. It is said that many attended the festivities for the sole purpose of hearing a few favorite tunes played by MT Lines, and that they were amply repaid for the loss Of sleep 1t cost them. E. w. Big gerstaff furnished smiles for all, and Alderman Filling and Thomas Filling carried off the dancing honors in a two-step. It was a big blow out and the hands are still talking about 1t.

Monument For
 "Eim" MeaGher.

A movement Is on foot in Waterbury to erect monument to the memory of the late James Meagher of West Main street in St Joseph's cemetery, and while plans are yet in crude shape 1t Is understood that inside of few weeks a committee representing the different divisions of the A. o. H. and probably other Irish national OrganiZa- tions will be at work on the project, and the work will be pushed with all possible dispatch with a view to rais- ing sufficient funds to have the column ready for dedication on the date to be fixed for the erection of the monument which Is to stand in the Hibernian plot In the same cemetery. This would be a graceful tribute to man who during his lifetime did much for the upbuild- ing of his countrymen, leaving as he did lesson of patriotism and love well worthy of emulation. While always ready to lend a hand to the Irish cause he kept constantly before his mind the duty he owed to his adopted country, and played the part of brave soldier for many years as one of Uncle Sam's boys in blue Mr Meagher's life was an open book and it is so fresh in the minds Of his townsmen that 1t needs no repetition at this time, The pro motors of this movement deserve to he encouraged and 1t is safe to predict that as soon AS the plans are unfolded very little trouble will be experienced in pushing them to successful com OIntiOn

THE TROUBLES OF

Husband Missing for Several Years-FinaIy Locaed-Now Question Who will Pay Bills Contracted by Him During His Abscnce-Seectmen of Town of Orange in Waterbury Investigating.

Mrs ThOmas's husband and then aD- prised the scleCtmen of the town of the situation, which was in brief accord ing to MT DOrans interpretation of the law. that for the past thirteen years the wife of Mr Thomas, a resi- den of Orange, had been a charge upon the town of Waterbury and that the authorities would look to Orange to pay the bill. The womans hus- band had nothing that could be taken for the debt, but Superintendent Do ran took the ground that she was properly resident of the town where her husband resides and that such expenses as had been incurred in caring for her at Waterbury, some thing in the neighborhood of S1,OOO should be paid within a reasonable time
 Selectmen Main and Bush of Orange were in Waterbury yesterday and spent a few hours in consultation with Mir Doran. They also visited Mrs Thomas at the Waterbury hos Dital where she has been an invalid for some time and heard what she had to say, but left town without making anybody the wiser as to what they thought of the question, not even MT Doran being able to get line on what they thought of the case. When asked about the matter MT Doran said that he had nothing to say at this time except that the woman has been a charge upon Waterbury for the past thirteen years and that unless he misunderstands the law every dollar Enpnt thn c rrnnnr1u chargnahle to Orange Although her husband lived In Waterbury for some lime he never acquired a residence here and 1t seems that this Is one of the strong points in favor of the con tention that the mans wife should be maintained by her husband and if not by the town where he has a residence.

He h. q quite job ill getting the nan to the station house, tue fellow beng so in- toX1cated he was unable to stand. He had been with a friend, also from Pomperaug Valley, and whose habl4i- ments may be said to consist of frosted WhIskers and an overcoat. Porter 5 condition seemed to surprise this man. "GoSh darn it" said he, after he had helped to land him cell, that ere fel- Ter can't drink nawthin. That ere coat on his back is mine, officer, and I hope he won't lose it."
 "Oh,he won't lose 1t here, there's no fear of that, unless he eats it," said the officer.
 Well, we'll" said he in the overcoat and whlskers; never saw him that away afore. Had just the same as I had, nawthin' more. About thirty beers and half a dozen whiskies; hot ones. Can't understand 1t; an look at the legs O him, and look at me. Sober, sure, but his legs. See them. Won't stand up. Never saw such darn legs afore."
 By this time Porter, whom ale evi- dently did not agree with, and whose legs were as limp as dish rags, was snoring in his cell; and after another glance at his coat and q warning to the officer not to let him lose 1t, the man in whiskers and overcoat beat a wise retreat.

Forty years ago Mary Baldwin, now Mrs Charles Thomas, was a bright young woman of about 25 sum- mers and had suitors by the score, but while she had a smile and cheer full word for all. nobody succeeded in getting her consent to change her name until Charles Thomas of the town of Orange dropped into Water bury and commenced to do some house painting, He was a skillful workman and quite a good looking fellow, and after short acquaint- ance with Miss Baldwin, who was q homework girl, led her to believe that he thought the world of her and that his future happiness, and proba bly, hers, too, depended upon whether or not she would consent to be bis wife
 Miss Baldwin took pity upon the painter from Orange and they were married. For a time things moved along smoothly, but 1t seems that the demon of discOrd crept into the home and after a season of differences Thomas left town and his wife heard nothing of him for several years
 They had one child, Thomas, who re- mained here with his mother. Years ago Mrs Thomas learned that her husband was dead and she heard nothing to the contrary until year o1 so ago when her son had his feet frozen in Derby and the authorities there sent him to the New Haven hos

HIS PROPERTY
 WAS ATTACHED.
Suit for SIander-$l,OOO Damages CIaimed-MrS Ri9IiarO Seeks Redress from CaniO Pace.

The machinery of the law was set in motion last night in a suit which when brought into the courts will bristle wi thrilling situations and attract to the spectators gallery a large number or the Italian colony, several of whom are mentioned in the papers as WlkneSS3s. The complainant Is Carmela, Wife ot John Rigliari of ScOvul street, and the defendant is blacksmith named CaniO Pace, who owns the huIIuing, where he does wagon repairing and other work ill his line at the northwest corner of ScoviIl and South Elm streets. The suit Is for islander, and the sum mentioned i'll the count Is $1,- 900. Property belonging to the de- fendant to the amount of $1,2OO has been attached. The allegations are very lengthy, but boiled down and told in plain English they charge that the son of Vulcan, using his native tongue and speaking within the hearing of sev- eral persons who understood tine Ill an ing of his words, stated that the plain tiff was a woman of questionable char acter. Naturally Mrs Riglian and her friends felt indignant at the imputa- dOn and the more they talked 1t over the worse 1t looked, and after a con i ference 1t was decided to seek redress through the majesty of the law. The plaintiff stated her case to Attorn y Russell, who made out the papers The case Is returnable to the district court the first Tuesday in December. or course the blacksmith's version of the difference has not been heard, and probably after he has had chance to tell how 1t all happened things may not look quite so bad for him as they do in the reading of the allegations signed and sworn to by Mrs Rigliari and half a dozen or more other persons. The suit created. a good deal of talk about town last night and animated discus sions were held on the probable out come of the case at different points about town where acqualntances of both parties happened to meet.
