MISS CRANES CONDITION.

Very Little Light Thrown on the Mat
 ter-No Change as Yet.
 There is no change in the condition of Miss Crane, who was assaulted Monday night, nor is there nything really new in the efforts being made to find out the facts in the case, except that she was found ill Betts's livery stable and turned into the street. How did she get there and how long was she in the place? The man in charge of the place at the time says he does not know and there is no reason to doubt him, but 1t was rather strange that he didn't give the officers such information as he had right off instead of waiting until they found it out. It begins to look now as if the girl was the victim of some devilish plot and that at no time was she far from the spot where she was found. The La dies auxiliary met last night and talk ed of offering reward for information that would lead to the arrest of her assailant. Many think they should do so at once and if they think such ac- tion would be likely to induce someone to put the authorities on the right track they should spend every dollar they have in an effort to clear up the mystery.

CORPS BODY FOUND
Located Near the Southington
 Side of the Pond
BY BROTHER OF DEAD MAN.

And One of the Young Men That Was
 With Him the Night He Was
 Drowned-All the Young Men Will
 Tell Medical Examiner Axtelle What
 They Know of the Affair Tonight.
 The body of John Corr who lived at 473 East Main street and who was drowned in ''ShelP' ,Hitchcock's pond on Sunday morning at 2 o'clock was found this morning about 10 o'clock by Daniel Corr, his brother, Joseph Corr, his cousin and Patrick Cough lin, one of his companions on the night that he was drowned. The three young men were rowing in a boat near the Southtngton side of the pond in search of the body when they saw it at the bottom of the pond. The depth of the water at this point is about ten feet. One of the party dived for the body, got 1t and then placed it with the assist ance of his companions in the boat. It was then brought to the shore ItWas in fairly good condition and was not much decomposed, though some what sodden and bloated from lying in the water so long. Medical Examiner AAlclI0 WdS dI1O dIL6Es V10W- ing the remains gave a permit to Un- dertaker Moriarty to remove them to his morgue. Later they will be re- moved to the residence of his sisters, the Misses Marie and Martha Corr, IS Orange street from whence the tuner al will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle has sum- moned the three young men who were with Corr on the night of the drowning and the three young men who found the body to appear at his office tonight and tell what they know about the ae- cident
 Judging from where the body was found, it is believed that Corr started to swim towards the Southington side of the pond, when the boat overturned. and when he had gone half the distance he was seized with cramps and sank.
 The Misses Marie and Martha Corr went to New Haven early this morning to secure professional diver or two to dive for the body. A telegram was sent to them notifying them of the finding of the body.

 Delegates Went Over to Other Side.
 Matthew J. Smith, who attended the Foresters' convention in New Brit ain, was asked to-day concerning the defeat of the Waterbury candidates for grand slb-chief ranger, grand treasurer, and for four places on the delegation to the national convention. He attributed their defeat to the fact that twenty delegates who had prom tsed to vote for them went over to the other side we were relying upon the delegation from Litchfeld county, but they went back on US. was sur prised at KIeinecke's defeat. It looked as if the delegates wanted a change. His defeat was probably due to the fact that there were many new men at the convention and few of the old fa- miliar faces present. We had eau GUS ill New Haven about three weeks ago and 15 votes were promised to us then, but some went back on us. They were given promises and in addition places on the opposing ticket. No, Wa terbury didn't want too much. The other delegates on our side were more than satisfied that we were not asking too much. The Waterbury candi- dates took their defeat in good grace"

 Constable Pryor will soon have com. pleted his tour after unlicensed dogs in the district covered by the first. sec ond and third wards and portions of the fourth and fifth. He said today that he hadn't been beyond ScovilTs bridge yet, but that he expected to make a commencement there next Mon day morning and keep at t until he finds every dog owner from the bridge to the town boundary. So far he has not experienced much trouble in con- vincing people that 1t is much cheaper to step into the town clerks office and settle for your dog than try conclu- sions in the city court, and he hopes it will be to the end. The only serl- Ous run-in he had occurred in the Brooklyn district, when an infuriated woman wanted to know if the consta- ble thought she hadn't right to keep a "bit' of dog in the house without "forking" out money for the privilege, and followed this up by threatening to spunch" the officer if he dared inter- fere with her little pet, the only friend she has left in this wide world. "Trip" that's the dogs name, be longed to her son Jack" wild fel- low, but full of good nature, who en- listed in the army years ago and died somewhere in Washington territory.

Strike Breakers Cots Sent to Bridge
 port To Do Duty.

The trolley company had ample time to make prepara ton for the row at Bridgeport and the officials of that place have had a chance to profit by any mistakes that may have been made in this town on the part of the police and others so that if one can take any stock in what he hears the thing will not amount to much ill the Park City. This is of course some peoples way of looking at it, but there are others who claim that the company has a big job on its hands and that if it starts to run cars with out of town men as they have done here it will not take long to prove that all the bad men ill the state are not residents of Water bury. There are people who claim that with the same provocation in Bridgeport as existed in Waterbury there is sure to be a high old time and it is something to note the number of people who are pleased to learn that the boys down the road have concluded to make fight. Most of the cots used by the strike breakers Ut the car barns on West Main street were slipped to Bridgeport this forenoon which shows

 jured-Property Loss is $5O,OOO.
 Chicago, May 15.-The Westchester apartment building at 5017 Cottage Grove avenue was destroyed by fire early to-day. One man is missing and is supposed to have perished in the flames. Two persons are dead, two were probably fatally and others seri- ously injured by jumping from the windows.
 The bodies of Louisa Phaesa, 10 years old, and Henry Strubley, 90 years old, have been recovered.
 The missing man is Samuel Hall, 45 years old.
 The injured are:
 Theodore Whitle, arm broken.
 Patrick Bolger, hands cut.
 Nelson Lunberg, badly burned.
 Mrs c. D. Hoffman, back broken and internally injured.
 Louis Herbert, back broken.
 The dead girl was found in the hall on the second floor of the building, where apparently she had been oyer- come by smoke while groping her way to the stairs. The body of Strubley was recovered from the basement, where he was accustomed to sleep. It is thought he was rendered insensfble by smoke and drowned by the deluge of water from the engines. The fire started beneath a grocery store which occupied the ground floor of the build ing and spread rapidly through the air shafts until the entire building was ablaze. Twenty-seven families lived in the apartments on the three upper floors, and many persons narrowly es- caped injury in the panic which fol- lowed the alarm.
 The property loss on the building and contents is estimated at $50,OOO
 J. T. Hoffman, husband of the in jured woman, saved his two children by throwing them from the second story upon & mattress. His wife faint ed and fell to the ground. It is thought she will die. Samuel Hall occupied a room in the basement with Strubley. His body was not recovered, but he is thought to have met the same fate as Strubley and the ruins are being searched for his remains
