UNLUCKY ENGINES RECORD.
After Several Years on Scrap Pile No
 100 Is On Rails Again

After Several Years on Scrap Pile No
 100 Is On Rails Again.
 The cratic and unfortunate engine No 1OO owned by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad, says the Chi cago Inter-Ocean, has been rebuilt, and after several years on the scrap pile is on the rails again.
 Engine No 100 has perhaps the worst record of any locomotive in the coun- try. On October 15, 1891, 1t crashed into the roundhouse at Crete, III, kill ing three members of the Inter Ocean staff and the engine driver. The ac- cident which caused the death of the three young newspaper men occurred without the slightest warming. Two of the young men, Frederick w. Henry of Versailles, Ky, and Frank A. Mo Cafferty of Philadelphia, an artist, were returning from Terre Haute, Ind, where they had ridden in an engine cab to secure material for "A Midnight Ride,' a story fate decreeG never should be written. They were riding in a coach when Leonard Dane Wash burn, a fellow member of the staff, who had been spending his vacation with his mother, joined them at Clin- ton, Ind.
 At Danyil1e engine No 100 took the train, and before reaching Crete the three young men mounted the engine, so that Washburn might have the ex- perielce of riding in the cab. A switch had been left open. The fast passenger tratn crashed into the roun6house. killing the engineer, James Clark, and the three young men. Frank Lafferty. the fireman, was so hadly injured that for weeks he hung between life and death.
 Tn 1886 No 100 carried a passenger train into the rear of a freight at Hins- dale, III. and in 1900 went over an em- banknent at Cyprus, III, on each occa- sion adding to her list of victims. She was in other accidents, but for several years past has been living dismantled in the shops in Danville H. She is now in service again,

FIRE HORSE SAM"
The Board of Public Safety Will Prob
 ably Sell Him.

The board of public safety have con- siderable work under way. The com mittee on horses, Lahey and Taylor, will endeavor to sell Sam, Chief Snagg's horse, which has been in the depart ment since 1t was first established, it is said. The pair that draw the truck at the Burton street house will also go, if they can be sold, and as they are sound animals they probably will meet with a ready sale. Three of the horses now stationed at Scovill street house will be moved to the Burton street house, and this will make room for a new triple span at tae Scoville street house. When all this work is done the committee on horses will be gray. The new house in Brooklyn is practically ready for occupancy, but the commit tee on furnishing, not wishing to ex- ceed the appropriation on account of the great expense arising from the trol- ley, will do nothing about it until early in September. ~

A BUSY SESSION
The Superior Court Term Just
 Drawing to Close
TROLLEY STRIKERS CASES

Was the Principal Event on the Dock
 ct and Was One of the Most Im-
 portant Ever Tried in the State-The
 Exact Cost of Trial Not Known Yet
 Court Will Adjourn for the Sum-
 mer on Friday.
 The superior court, both civil and criminal sides, have adjourned for the term. This was the most costly crim- ina1 term of the superior court ever held in Waterbury,. The special term alone, called for the hearing of the cases against the eight strikers who were found not guilty of the charges against them, conspiracy to injure the trolley company and assault with in- tent to murder two strike breakers, cost over four times more than the or dinary criminal term. The exact fig ures will not be known for some months, or until the corps of steno- graphers and typewriters specially en- gagged to keep counsel supplied with the evidence send in their bills. This will probably be when they make up their minds where to spend thir vaca- tiOn and find their purses at low tide.
 However, it will be found that it will not cost one-ha1f as much as was expected. There were no expert wit nesses called on either side, nor was there special counsel engaged by the state, for it is not expected that Attor- ney Williams will be allowed anything for his services or that he will charge any.
 The biggest item will be found to be the expenses voluntarily entered into by the state That is the enga cement of Detective Rogers and Gillian of the Pinkerton agency. These men were brought into it specially by Assistant States Attorney Kellogg. Constable Carmody's bill for protecting Merna and Morrisette during the three weeks the case was on trial, will, it is expect ed, figure prominently in the expenses of the trial. Everything connected with the case except the services of counsel for the defense will be paid for by the state. Clerk Marsh is of the opinion that the total cost may amount to about $1,5O0. This is far from what many people thought it would. Some said it would figure up $5,OOO. So taking everything into con- sideration the amount is not very large. ..
 But counsel for both sides now admit it was worth whatever it cost. It was certainly an important case, and Attor ney Kellogg in his argument said it was one of the most important ever | held in the state.
 There was so much criminal busi. ness that no time was left for the transaction of civil matters, a very unusual occurrence. Excepting a few matters on short calendar, such as motions and half a dozen divorces, nothing was done in the way of civil business.
 Friday the district court adjourns for the season and then the court rooms will be closed until fall, unless something very urgent turns up to de mand the attention of judge.

Rare Opportunities up there for
Pushing Men to Succeed.

The average man is more likely to
succeed in the state of Washington than
anywhere else in America.
There is a reason of it of course. In
the first place Washington is alive with
new and prosperous industries, and she
needs and wants intelligent men who
are willing to work for success, that
they may so and help in the wonderful
development that is there in progress.
Any man who is really in earnest can
succeed in Washington and with but
little capital.
If you are a farmer, there is no better
country in the world than Washington.
If you are mechanic, there is plenty
of work for you to do there at good
prices, and plenty of opportunities for
you to establish yourself in one OF the
