COURT HOUSE CASES.

George Scott, who was tried in the
Superior Court for hog stealing, was
declared innocent of the charge by the
trial jury yesterday afternoon. Scott
was indicted jointly with Israel Quar-
terman and Isaac Brown. The indict-
ments againts the other two negroes
will be nolle pressed. w. F. Slater
represented the defendants.
Johnnie Mack, alias Bible was
found guilty of assaulting with intent
to murder D. G. Owens proprietor of
a wood yard on Farm and Margaret
streets, and was sentenced to seven
years service in the penitentiary by
Judge Barrow in the Superior Court
yesterday. The jury recommended the
defendant to the mercy of the court,
the recommendation resulting in a
shortening of the sentence about three
years.
In answer to the suit filed against
him for the collection of $331.39 as tele-
graph and cable tolls, Mr.. Murray M.
Stewart, surviving member of the firm
of James T. Stewards Sons, who con-
tracted the debt, said yesterday that
he is not indebted to the complainants,
The Postal Telegraph and Gable Com
pany, at all but that rather he will
plead as a set-off a loss of 81 900
which he alleges was sustained by him
as result of an error in, a message
delivered to him by the company.
The arguments in the case of the
state against Joe Johnson, found
guilty of assault with intent to mur-
der, and sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary, will be heard before Judge
Barrow this morning. 1t will be re-
membered that Johnson was the in
stigator of a row among several of the
newsboys at the Morning News, as a
result of which fusillade of shots We're
fired. Two others who were jointly
indicted with him pleaded guilty and
were given lighter sentences.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-02

It developed that when this bill was pending the railroad men received in- formation that there was danger of it's being defeated, and came to Washing ton to sec about it. Soon after his ar rival he met man whom he knew slightly as a legislative promoter, and a number of senators said to be doubt full were named, but, added the pro- meter, their votes could be had for a consideration. The price of this par ticular senator was fixed at S5,000.
 Now. he is little particular about these things said the promoter, land you had better let me see him first; then later in the day you can call on him and see if he promises his vote. ,"
 It seems that this promoter did call on the senator, and mentioned the rail- road bill and said that there was a man in the city who would be glad to know that the senator would support the bill, and might call later and hear him say so.
 "Oh, yes,' said the senator, fits good bill and I'll vote for it, but have no time to bother with this man"
 Nevertheless. in the afternoon the railroad man and his friend were ush- cred into the senator's committee room and the promoter said:
 Senator, this is the gentleman spoke to you about this morning, in terested in that land grant bill. He will be glad to know it is all right"
 '*Yes, it's all right" said the sena- tor. 'sThe bill ought to pass, and, as I said this morning, am going to sup port it."
 The incident apparently closed un- til renewed afterward upon the train
 t'Upon the strength of that inter view" said the railroad man, I've paid that promoter $5,0oO for your vote"
 Well, it is needless for me to say I never knew anything about it. But, tell me, why didn't you come to me first, without any negotiation, and find out how I stood and what would do?'
 'tWell, we were so scared we didn't take any chances on anything" was the reply.
 Telling the story afterward, the sen ator said: "I had often looked at some of my colleagues whose reputa- tions had been impugned, and asked myself: Are they knaves or fools?' but after this incident, when felt like criticising fellow member for being a knave and taking money for his vote, or placed in a position where he was suspected of it, and, therefore, a fool, would check myself, as some one might be asking: To which class do you belong?'"

It is supplied with thunder rooln-an apartment so built as to be practically sound proof. The young mistress of this house has a dread of thunder that nothing has ever been able to overcome. So she determined to have a place of retreat in times of storm The architect who had this unusual commits sion arranged room in the center of the house so situated that, with it's thick walls no sound can penetrate to it. To this apartment the timid owner can re- treat whenever the thunder roars.-N. Y. Sun.

PUMPKIN PIES FOR INDIA.

Delicacy In Store For American Gem
 tingent Tn FarOfR Gonda.
 Mrs. Dufield Waterford of Gonda, Oudh, Northwestern Provinces, India, who recently arrived at New York with her two daughters from three months visit to England, was the guest of friends at the Beresford before she left on her return trip to India. Mrs. Waterford is the wife of Dufiield Wa terford, the British civil commissioner of Gonda, says the New York Com mercial Advertiser. Mrs. Waterford iS prominent in club life in her India home and Is the president of the An glo-American Women's club there, an organization formed among the English and American residents.
 Tt will perhaps surprise you lit tle," she said, ito know that there arc quite large number of Americans living in Gonda and throughout the western provinces of India. Gonda it. self has fully 200 American residents, and nearly all the women of their col Uuy #d1G AASAUSAS OL tAC fhA5AO-<AAAG1A7 can club Many of them are the wives and daughters of civil engineers hold ing high salaried positions on the Ben gal and Northwestern railway, which is at present being constructed through out the western provinces"
 After paying tribute to the social qualities of the Americans, who helped Ito keep things lively" she added:
 When left India. it may interest you to know, was delegated by the American members of our Anglo-Amer- ican club to purchase about half car load of pumpkins here [New York; and have them shipped to Gonda. placed the order in the hands of Fifth ave- nue fruiterer and told him to attend to 1t with all haste. Tn India, you know, we do not have pumpkins, and my American friends took advantage of my departure to have the deficiency supplied. They raised the money among themselves for their purchase On my arrival in New York did not delay long in making a practical in- vestigation into the mystery of the pumpkin pie. It was the first one I had ever eaten in my life, and I can now quite understand why my Amer ican friends in faraway Gonda mourn the loss of such a delicious edible When they get that half car load they will then, as they called it, have pumpkin pie to burn"
