Liauidation in London.

London, Sept. 2.-The renewed heavy realizations, chiefly in the best investment securities, caused demoralization on the stock market today. almost amounting to a panic.

Owing to a number of pieces of business that were left unfinished yesterday in the house session next Tuesday will be q. business session, but there now seems no reason why that should not be the last day, both houses adjourning then over until Wednesday or Thursday for the final rites.

Two applications were be- fore the committee, one from the Bran ford Lighting and Power Co, which now operates trolley road in Bran ford, the other from Representative Fisk of Branford. The trolley coin- pany petition is for road to run through Pine Orchard, that of Mr Fisk to run from North Branford to Stony Creek and east to Clinton. The rail- road committee reported in favor of this latter road. but the other route will come in in the form of an amend ment, offered by Mir Banks of Fair field. and also in the senate. A hot ar- gument is expected on the matter, as this is the last railroad petition to be granted this year and action on it has been delayed until this time

The trial of the eight trolley strikers in the superior court b efore Judge Thayer took sensational turn at the close of yesterdays hearing. 1t had come to the counts knowledge that someone had sent marked copies of 8 local newspaper to some of the jurors with the evident intention of prejudic- ing them in the trial. Before dismis- sing the jury the count requested the jurors to refrain from reading the, re- ports of the case in the newspapers and to be cautious about people discus sing the matter in their presence. He would prefer that the jurors would re- frain from reading the reports of the case until after the trial. With this admonitton the jury was dismissed un- til Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 About 8:80 o'clock Willis Vandemark took sick and a doctor was sent for, and while he was being examined in the library Judge Thayer called up Attorney Williams and Attorney O'Netll, and then informed them that he had been told by a juror of the re ception of marked papers by some of the jurors. There was a discussion that lasted some minutes and when court resumed MT O'Neill asked that adjournment be taken to give him time to investigate, but the court bade him to proceed with the case and this was done with the understanding that the rights of the defense were not to be prejudiced in any way.
 Early in the week counsel for the de- fense agreed that certain papers were in contempt of court by reason of the reports that they published of the case and their comments thereon. They feared that If the jury read these re- ports their case would be prejudiced and it was practically determined to call the courts attention to the matter the following 1norning. But evident ly they re-considered. for they did not bring the matter to the notice of the court, and in fact paid no further at tention to 1t. Yesterday they were very reluctant to speak about the pres ent developments in the matter. Pend ing the resumption of court on Tues day they will make an investigation and report to the court accordingly.
 There are various reports about this matter. Some say that the article marked is the story of the proceedings in the city court. and others believe bhat it was the articles published last week in some of the local papers and which counsel for the defense agreed should be brought to the notice of the judge.
 The facts, however, as they have come to the attention of the counsel for the defense, after investigation, are these:
 < When the first jury panel was pub lished in the papers. Attorney Durant. in the city court. informed counsel for the defense to be on their. guard against a certain juror; that his name was not what it was said to be on the list. This information was re- ceived with lot of suspicion because it was generally understood by the de fense that MT Durant was not 3 friend of the accused, that his interests were with the trolley company and that he therefore must have some object in giving this information. However, in-

Funeral Held To-Day With Military

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-13

quiries were set afoot with the result that the jurors mentioned were found to be what they were supposed to be, farmers, and on looking over the panel no such name as Mr Durant mentioned was found. This was considered queer conduct on the part of MT Durant. and 1t was decided that he was playing some game for the trolley company.
 The trial then began and everything went along orderly until last Saturday, when the attention of the defense was called to some articles published in local papers. That was passed over, and then came the surprise yesterday.
 The investigation by the defense dis closed that one of the jurors called upon MT Durant and asked him to recommend to him paper which con tained articles of the present trial Mr Durant referred him to the Sunday Herald, The defense saw the story published last Sunday in that paper and decided there were only two parts in that objection could be made to. One was that the strikers, or their union friends, had formed a fund of $10,000 to fight the case, and the other was the statement that the jury was put up or fixed to disagree. Regarding this lat ter point the local representative of the paper informed a Democrat reporter that when he wrote it he had no inten- tion of conveying the impression that anything irregular was done in the matter.
 However, these two statements. while they were not very startling In themselves, might have damaging ef feet upon the mind of a juror who was not thoroughly conversant with the local situation; they might convey false impression to him which would work detrimentally to the interests of the accused.
 The juror was furnished one or more copies of the paper, and since then the defense have discovered that three other jurors have been furnished with copies of the same paper. Who fur nished them they did not ascertain but they suppose it was either MT Durant or the local representative of the paper, J.>O. Howe.
 With all this information in their possession the defense have concluded to let the case take its course without interruption. The reasons for this are that 1t would not avail their clients anything. As the accused seem unable to procure bail. to ask for another jury would mean prolongation of their de tention in jail If they asked for new jury there is no question that their request would be granted, for they ad- init that the conduct of the jurors who read the paper is highly improper and would disqualify them from further sitting on the case.
 But the expense of summoning an. other jury. perhaps calling another eighty or maybe 100 men from their business, would mean considerable ex- pense to the state, untold bother. delay and worry to counsel and the court. and prolong the severe strain under which the accused have been for two weeks.
 This morning Attorney OsNeilf warned the court representative Of one of the other daily papers that if he re- peated his conduct of last week in .criticising the evidence he would have him taken before the court for con tempt.

 Chicago, June 13.-''The great rich people do not make good citizens. They don't help our civic pride, or our civic conditions. In New York we have the extremest society-the worst of inn migrants, and those over rich people. The middle classes are the best citi- zens."
