MRS KEITH IN COURT.
Woman Who Drew $2,5OO from Water
 bury Savings Bank.

bury SaVlnSS bdHk.
 Mrs Maud Keith of Thomaston who was arrested in Philadelphia about q week ago was brought to town last night and in court to-day she was charged with forgery of notes on the Waterbury Savings bank amounting to about $2,5OO. There was this amount of money it appears on de posit in the bank in her mothers name and as she was, as it appears, known at the bank, it was an easy matter for her to present notes bearing forgeries of the signature of her mother, Mrs Mary Chase, who lives in Plymouth. and obtain the money. Detective Ken naugh broug%t her to town last night and this moriWng at her request the case was continued to tomorrow under band of 5000. The Waterbury Say ings bank is the complaining witness in the case. Of course the bank would lose the money if Mrs Chase insisted on drawing her deposit, and she did sso insist and in fact entered suit against the bank for the recovery of the amount drawn by her daughter. The bank then to protect itself, had Mrs Keith arrested. Attorney Bronson represents the bank.
 The matter has excited great feeling in some circles, for it seems the accus- ed woman and her mother are very we'll known in church circles in Wa terbury. When Mrs Keith left Thom- aston her sudden disappearance caused considerable speculation. No one had the slightest idea of her whereabouts, and her relatives were greatly alarmed Then her husband disappeared, but it eventually developed that he went in quest of her. He has returned. While there was no objection to issuing ex- tradition papers, there was consider able difficulty experienced in obtaining them, owing to the absence of the gov ernors of Connecticut and Pennsylva- nia from their respective seats of gov ernment.
 Tn court to-day Mrs Keith did not seem to be very much upset by the preGicament she is in. She had long interview before court opened with Prosecutor Durant who informed Judge Burpee, when the latter took the bench, that she wished to make a statement. She then took the stand and in a manner that indicated that she was not at all nonplussed stated that she wished the case adjourned in order to have time to consult coun- sel Her request was granted end it is understood that so far, as the city court is concerned the case will be dis posed of tomorrow.

He brought him back and made him place the bottle where he found it. Then the gang became abusive and began to throw stones and to abuse the rnflE1nan with the result that the latter sailed in for them and did them up in fine style with a stick.

They expect that it will be the biggest day in the his tory of New Haven and appeared to have notion that Waterbury will be we'll represented there. There can be no doubt about this so long as Father Slocun will deliver the oration and several societies Including the mili- tary will be in attendance. It is un- derstood that local members of the American Historical society will get together and go down there in body, and all the surviving members of the regiment who live here and their families will be sure to take
 in so that Waterbury is sure to cut quite a figure in making up the crowd as well as in other ways.
 Among the distinguished guests from outside the state who have accepted in- vitations to be present are President W1llldm McAdOO O1 the A1neFICdu-1fisu Historical society, and James O'Rourke, both prominent in public af- fairs during Cleveland's administra- tion: Hon !.

Surprise and Slaughter of Spearmea
 Near Jeyd.
 LONDON, July. 1. The war office has received dispatch from Colonel Rochfort, one of the British officers serving with the Abyssinian force in Somaliland, which says the Abyssin- ians after a series of forced marches struck the Mad Mollah's forces near Jeyd, surprising them at dawn and killing 1000 spearmen and capturing almost all their cattle and sheep and 1000 camels.
 Colonel Rochfort adds that the Abys- sinians have effectuahy closed to the mollah all the watering places south of the Gerlogubi- -Galadi line, and he hopes they will soon be in contact with the British forces and thus be able to CO., operate in the pursuit of the moliah, who is delayed in his movements by the fact that he is crossing a waterless part of the country.

KAlsER's TRUE COURTESY. T
British War Ships Would Join In Celebrating Fourth of July.

British War Ships Would Join In Celebrating Fourth of July.
 KEEL, Prussia, July 1.-The Ameri- can officers, though interested in the proceedings here, were glad to get away from the necessity of changing uniforms three or four times a day and from long periods of duty. Rear Ad- miral Cotton and the captains of the American ships were also relieved to depart without any untoward incident having occurred. They, with Ambas- sadors Tower and Meyer, had been dali ly in contact with Emperor William and were impressed with his sincerity and earnestness. They all said that they felt he could have done nothing more to show his apprecia ton of the visit of the squadron to Kiel or his de- sire to win American good will.
 The presence of the squadron from the side of the German public is re- garded as a demonstra ton of friendli- ness, especially as the battle ship Rear sarge was sent at five days notice to 1 join the squadron and also because the administration at Washington ex- l pressed definite sentiments toward Germany through Ambassador Towers speech.
 | Personally the emperor's bearing was unaffected and even jovial. He has of- ten spoken with singular openness. German observers await with curi- osity reports of the American squad ron's entertainment at Portsmouth. The British foreign office at first desired that the American war ships should 1 arrive at Portsmouth in time to enable the British ships to join them in cele- brating Independence day. This, how- ever, became difficult owing to the de- sirability of the American squadron staying here until June 30; hence the British dates were changed.

 Howland, a city employee, rushed
 through the breakers to his assistance

Gardiner, II; Portland, 5.

The Gardiner High school football
team started, Saturday forenoon, for
Portland. accompanied by party of
supporters and attended by Prin. w. L.
Powers and Leon Lawton, who went as
deferce and ofiiciated in that capacity
during the game in the afternoon.
About 5.15 in the afternoon, a notice
came by telephone that Gardiner was
the winner of the game by score of II
to against the Portland High school
team, and this news was the cause of
a joyous ringing of the High school bell
in this city that ceased only when the
bell rope parted. The home team re-
turned OH the night train and reported
a tough struggle ito win the contest, and
a rather warm reception at the close of
the game.
Quarterback Mcnamara received an
injury during the game that will con-
fine him to his home for a short time.
but he will doubtless be in condition to
continue his good work with the team
during the remainder of the season.
This is certainly hoped as the home
team can i'll afford the loss of any more
valuable men as three of the team are
now laid up for REPAIRS
The next game for the home team will
be in this city. Wednesday afternoon
when Edward Little High of Auburn,
will be the visitors and q swapping good
game can but result from the meeting
Of these two teams.
