John Reed. Of the Clack Dray line,
received an accidental injury to his

some time. The accident was the re-
suit Of a beer keg falling on the mem

Things are rather distressing in

The market conditions are not inn
proved in the least since the strike.
The feed supply is rather discourage
ing and shipments Of cattle and sheep
have already begun to go from home.
However, for the present, we must oe
content with conditions as we lind

cannot last, and big prices are assuf-

POLICE COURT DOINCS.
M. H. Waas and Tenant Have Row Other Cases.

The witness stand in the city court reeked with profanity this morning. The case before Judge Burpee charged Morris H. Waas with breach of the peace on April 15, and Mrs Clarence Bird, his tenant, was the complainant. The. date of Mrs Birds story was Good Friday, when Waas tried to pass through her parlor with a hod of mortar and she objected because his shoes were not clean. He then opened up the vials of his wrath and soused her with them.
 Are you going to destroy my prop erty?' she said he said, "Why don't you get out decently if you are go- ing?" Thereupon he swore till he made her hysterical. When she re- covered she told him he was no gentle man but the information did not seem to disturb him in the least. He had no other reason for telling her to leave the premises only that she told him to clean his shoes.
 In repeating their stormy interview Mrs Bird began with the profane parts. She lost herself several times and began all over again each time, putting stress on the profanity until everybody wondered.
 Mrs Birds sister, Maud Jackson, l7 years of age, living in Ansonia, corTob- orated this testimony. not forgetting the profanity. She seemed to make this the particular part of her statement
 Waas's story was that there was a woman sick in the house and the rear door to Mrs Birds apartments was slamming terribly. He met Mrs Bird on the veranda of the downstairs tenant. Mrs Wilcox. and asked her if she had been slamming the door. She said it was her sister who was doing it. Waas did not think this right be- cause of the, wOman's illness. partfc- ularly. Hot words passed between him and Mrs Bird: the latter informed him he was no gentleman. Waas said he was very sorry to say that she was no lady. "Then she threw a fit" said Waas. "and I ran to her sister to get her a drink of water. but her sister would not get it." Waas denied the strong language attributed to him, and said it was the ladies who used it. and added that he knew the kind of people he was dealing with and was therefore very careful notito make himself liable for civil suit. A fine of $1 and costs, the minimum, was imposed. An ap- peal was taken Attorney Rogers has been retained to enter civil suit against Waas.
 A complaint against Charles l.. Rog- CTS. a meat dealer on East Main street, and Thomas Schwaeble for throwing refuse on the street was continued to l tomorrow morning.

Commissioner Van Keuren Wishes Police to Look What They Seem.

The poor police force! Will the board of safety ever get through knocking it? Yesterday, at the meeting of that body, the force, which the people of the city have for many years consid- cred one of the best i'll the state in appearance and discipline, was given the hardest knock of all since the board got into power. 1t was called slouchy. Imagine Chief Egan's feel ings as he sat near, when he heard Commissioner Van Keuren call the police force slouchy. But that is what it was called, neyerthelesss,
 The knock was given incidental to Q motion by Commissioner Van Keuren that beginning with May ] and until June 1 the policemen shall wear white gloves, belt and dress coat.
 ''I think we will get better results, on the streets at all events,'' said the commissioner. 1.-The men will not look so slouchy I
