POLICE COURT Do1NGs
Joseph B. Cronin Had Bond Reduced to $500.

to $1 500.
 The bond in the case of Joseph B, fCronin, charged with embezzlement Twas reduced by Judge Peasley in the Ycity court this morning, from 5000 to [ &1,b00 Cronin's counsel. an attorney from Hartford, asked for reduction to $500, but Prosecutor Durant opposed 1 this.
 It appears that Cronin has friends by fine score, the kind of friends who Stick 10 their friend when he Is in trouble, and that they have raised a subscription of about $1, BOO which they are willing to put mp as a bond for lils 9rDearance In the next court. They lake 1t for granted that he will he bound over and they are anxious to }r-ive him as speedy trial as possible. / His counsel stated that Cronin win waive examination and will ask to he bound over to the present term of the surerior court so That his case may he cisnosed of as early as possible. He Jciainied that Cronin had no intention to errhezzIe from anybody: that he wa~fuIly National Cash Reg isfer Go was accumulatipG evidence of his alleged emhey2lements ana that :, were la guilty of any real wronc he could have fled the state. Rut almost every person whom he is said to have emhezzled from is his friend Fur thermore. Cronin's people live in Erie { county, Pa. and they are ready and ]will'ng fo make good any defalcation on his account.
 Tn reply. Prosecutor Durant stated fhat Cronin was in hiding in the Allyn lhonse in Hartford while the police of that city were searching high and low for him. He was registered at that hotel under an assumed name and when arrested he had only twenty three cents. He was dead broke.
 There are more than half dozen counts against him. any one of which Is sufficient to send him to the state { prison, It now develops that he has counsel in one place and his friends all over the state have retained other , counsel and the lawyers are playing at cross nurposes. Mir nurant would op- Z pose the reduction of the bond further than $1.500. As for speedy trial. that would rest with the states attor- lnev. That official could take Cronin { to the superior court for special trial. on bench warrant. The city court had nothing to do with that phase of The case It could only bind him over tN the next term of the superior court. Ha understood Cronin's friends in New Haven and elsewhere have raised fund of $1.500 which they are willing to pay in settlement of the case or put m as bond. He did not think The sand should he reduced further than S1.500. The bond was accordingly re- dlrced to the amount stated $1.5o0. The case will be disposed of Monday.
 The two boys who were arrested yes ferdav in New Britain for theft of cop ner from freight cars were brought to town last evening Tvheis names are John Spallone and William Rantier. The case against SpaiIone was nolled and that against Bantler was contin- ued 10 Monday when the case against the other boys will be heard also.

ELKs' BAZAAR BEST EVER.
Arrangements Nearly Completed for
 Next Weeks Festivities.

W ~~~~ S ~ S~bANALACSs
 On next Monday evening at o'clock the Waterbury lodge of Elks will open the best bazaar ever given in the city of Waterbury within memory of man. The admission is but 15 cents and there will be more doing to the square inch than $15 could buy. The hall will surely be & gem of beauty, the musical Fulton will direct his full orchestra, the Vatdis sisters will perform on the trapeze in mid-air going from one bar to another like birds, This is not the old hackneyed circus act, but some thing new and novel. Pearl, the fat girl, will receive every night and have a kind word for everybody. There will be dancing. A round trip ticket to the St Louis exposition to the person who knows how to choose the lucky number, and the greatest investment ever heard of in this county, state or country Is the gift of $1,0O0 for 10 cents. You may talk of Wall street with its ductuating stocks; you may boast of real estate with its percentage of investment, but who can beat this offer for 10 cents? Think of It, you who follow the ponies, a 10000 to shot. Get in line and buy your tickets before the large show begins.
 These are features of the bazaar, but to appriciate them you must attend; therefore chose the night you will go. Pick out one likely not to be crowded, so that you can see all because this bazaar will go down in history. AL ready it is the topic of small talk, so do not stay away if you desire to be up on conversation.

In the case of Henry B. sanderson of West Main street against Earl Atwood of Middlebury for $1,000 dam- ages for malicious arrest it took the jury in the superior court yesterday afternoon only twenty minutes to de- eide for the defendant. Sanderson was arrested twice for hunting on At woods property. The first time the proceedings against him were nolled and the second time he was discharg- ed. He tried to show yesterday that the second complaint was made by Atwood and upon that information that complaint was issued. But Judge Warner, who issued the complaint tes. tified that before issuing it he fnquir- cd into the circumstances. Hunt and Pierce appeared for the plaintiff and the Peasleys for the defense.

What is more serious is the pros

cannot hope to win against the steel

of its big ore supplies already deliy-

If the strike continues 1t will cost

would have been paid for labor before

To Tie Up the Fleet.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 2o-The big
fleet of the United States Steel cor
poration, which has been tied up by
the strike of the Masters and Pilots
association will be sent to winter
quarters as rapidly as the boats ar
rive at the laying-up ports. All crews,
with the exception of just enough men
to get the boats ready for winter, will
be discharged This is the outcome
of one of the most remarkable strikes
in the history of the great lakes, a
strike in which all kinds of charges of
conspiracy and graft are being
made.
A. B. Wolvin. general manager Of
the fleet, reached here last night from
Duluth, and after looking over the
situation said:
Our attitude in the matter is en-
tirely passive. We did not begin the
affair. 1t is the other side which
started it and we have nothing to do
except tie up the vessels as fast as the
mates leave, and this we shall con-
tinue to do until the boats are all tied
up. What else can we do?'
