A BLACK CARRIE NATION.
Wreck of the WEIGH Saloon on
South rlain Street

About six O'Clock this FRIDAY
morning, the John WEIGH saloon, or
South Main, next to the Valley house
was the scene of raid that called to
mind the crusades of Carrie Nation OF
a few years ago, and when the trou-
Bile was over that resort presented
much the appearance of china shop
after the proverbial bull had made it
a visit.
WEIGH had a big black mare which
he kept in barn lot back of the sa-
loon. The animal was taken with
what the veterinary calls the blind
staggers, and about six O'Clock she
broke out of the lot. smashing down
the fence, and in her blind frenzy ran
against the back door of the saloon,
butting it open and entering the room
Here she tore around at a great rate,
smashing completely one bar, demol:
ishing glasses and bottles, and any
thing else that came in her way. She
ran her head through the front win
dow On the south side of the room.
taking out glass and sash. The walls
were smeared with blood, and the
wreck was something fearful:
WEIGH and his son-inl-aw heard the
racket and ran in. but they could do
nothing with the crazed animal. She
finally found her way to the back
door again and went out the way she
came in, smashing down fences and
anything that came in her way as she
broke for the west part of town.
If that animal still lives she should
ever after be known as "Carrie Ma
ton for she surely did emulate the
doughty Carrie in excellent shape.

PETITION ASKING
 THAT BOD BE SPARED

New York, Oct 25.-A petition has been received by the school authorities Of Greater New York from the Society for the Reform of School Discipline at Glasgow, asking that the teachers here spare the rod as an instrument of dis cipline in the public schools. x
 Since the Principals association pc titioned the board of education in June last to restore corporal punishment the matter has been hanging by a thread which the committee on elementary schools may cut at any time.
 When the petition of the Principals association was presented last June those who supported 1t declared there are some school children of such dis position that they will respond to no mode of discipline other than the rod. It was stated that 234 out of 2o6 prin. cipaIs favored the repeal of the exist ing anti-corporal punishment rule.
 The petition just received from Glasgow says:
 s'The English board of education has recently issued a declaration against the use of corporal punishment in the schools of this country, based largely on the evils arising out of its use here as compared with the evidence afford ed by the success of American schools"

CAPTAIN
 ARRESTED
Now a Prisoner Under Guard--Charged With Be- ing Absent From His Post Without Leave.

New York, Oct 25.-Captain George W. Kirkham, U. s. A., commander of Company I, Twenty fifth infantry, stationed at Fort Niobrara, Neb, has been arrested in Brooklyn and taken to Governors island, where he is now prisoner under guard, charged by the military authorities with being ab- sent from his post without leave. Other charges are also said to be pending. He probably will be held under guard until the return of Brigadier General Grant from a tour of inspection, when his disposition will be determined by the commander of the department.
 Captain Kirkman is said to have talked in a rambling way-when taken prisoner. His physical condition was Wretched and events with which he had been familiar seemed to have been erased from his mind.
 The captain was found at the home of retired army surgeon who said he believed the captain to be on a leave of absence from his post He said the captain had not left his house since arriving there and seemed to be quite i'll. Kirkman got into trouble in 1900 for alleged annoyance to Arch bishop Chapelle on a steamship from San Francisco to Manila By an act of congress he was reinstated several months later, and in October, 1901, he was assigned to his present command.

NOT KNOWN IN TOXIC.

Tokio, Oct 25 (10 a. m.)-The details of the sinking of the British trawIei Crane in the North Sea by the Russian second Pacific squadron are not known in Tokio, and popular and official judg- ment is awaiting fuller knowledge The only information. received came in few brief telegrams conflicting between attack and accident The Jiji is the only newspaper commenting on the incident 1t first discusses and then dismisses it as absurd even foA Russia, which has shown want of wis, dom and discretion several times 7 The suggestions are made that the crews of the squadron desire a pretext for their recall from the hazardous orien- tai cruise or that Russia desires to save her face by involving Great Brit ain. Then the paper proceeds:
 The most likely explanation of the outrageous action of the squadron is found in the fact that some days ago, owing to rumor that Japanese ves- Eels laden with explosives had been reported in the Danish strait, the Dan. ash Authorities sent an escort with the Russian squadron to prevent any vio- lation of Danish neutrality. We know nothing of the supposed dispatch of our ships to that quarter, but it is likely that the Russian ships, appre- hending attack by the Japanese, out of excessive fear nlistook the trawlers for Japanese vessels sinking mines and Attacked them without making any in, quiryv

WORK IS DONE.
Only a Small Attendance al Episcopal Convention
 To-Day.

Boston, Oct 25-There was barely quorum present when the last days session of the Episcopal triennial gen. eral convention was opened this fore noon. Some of the deputies went home last week and many more left the city last night.
 The convention has been in session since October 5. Odds and ends were taken up by. the deputies to-day, while the bishops had little business on hand.
 The house of deputies adopted reso- lutions thanking Rev Dr Randolph H. McKim of Washington, the chair man for his impartial services as pre- siding officer. A similar resolution was adopted, extending thanks to the secretary, Rev Dr Henry Astice and his assistants, Joseph Packard of Bal timore and Chief Justice J. H. Stiness of Rhode Island, both of whom had presided on various occasions, to Bish- op William Lawrence, Emanuel church officials and to the officials and citi- zens of Boston for many fayors.
 The report of the joint commission on provinces which recommended that the dioceses be grouped into provinces with a primate at the head of each, was called up by Rev Canon B. Tal- bot Rogers of Fond Du Lac, Wis, who desired to offer a resolution on the subject. As the bishops had voted to continue the commission without talk ing action at this convention, and the deputies had concurred. the chairman ruled that the report could not be prop erly considered at this time.

WANT A TREATY.
An Anglo-American, Affair to Settle
 Differences.

Chicago, Oct 25.-To bring about the negotiation of a permanent Anglo. American treaty to provide for the settlement of all differences between the United States and Great Britain has been the object of an important meeting of the International Arbitra- ton society of Chicago.
 Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, counseA for the United States In the Alaskan boundary case, proposed the adoption of a platform indicating the precise ob- ject of the society, and this was done. The resolution will be sent to the pres ident, the secretary of state and chain man of the senate committee on for eign affairs.
 It was decided to call conference at Chicago later in the year of repre- sentatfyes of municipalities, commer~ cial organizations, legal and philan- thropic societies and other organiza tions, with the object of bringing about permanent Anglo-American treaty.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
Annual Session is Being Held at the
 Elm Cftv.

New Haven, Oct 25.-The twenty sixth annual session of the grand lodge, Knights of Honor, of Connecti- cut, was held to-day in this city with large number of representatives pres ent from subordinate lodges. Grand Dictator O. Fl. Freudenthal of Bethel presided over the deliberations, which had under consideration the annual reports of the various officers and the recommendations of the grand 0rcta- tor. The latter called attention to the losses sustained by suspensions and deaths as shown by the report of the grand reporter, Charles ". Skdff of Danbury, who had stated that the net decrease for the year was 46. He fur ther said that this Jurisdiction seems unable to secure efficient deputies, and that 1t was a deplorable fact that the last two deputies working under the direction of the grand lodge were not successful. He called attention to the fact that New Hampshire stands second in rank for increase in mem bershfp, and that Louisiana was first He urged a greater effort to increase the membership in this Jurisdiction.
 Grand Reporter Skiff reported that at present there are only 15 lodges i'm this state and that the total member ship is 507. The finances of the grand lodge show receipts of $524 and ex- penses of $518. The total resources of the grand lodge at present are $273.

DREYFUS CASE
Recalled by Court Martial of Four Prominent
 Officers.

Paris, Oct 25.-A sequel to the Drey- fus case was the opening of the court martial to-day of four prominent off cers of the war ministry, Colonels Dautrich, Rollin, Francois and Mares chal, charged with using military funds and otherwise influencing wit nesses against Dreyfus at Rennes. The court is composed of General Ber- tin, four colonels and two lieutenant coloneIs. The previous ministerial in- vestigation partially vindicated the accused, who demanded a court mar tial. Lieutenant Rich, witness, tes- tified that during the entire course of the proceedings at Rennes he followed the orders of his superiors.

DOGS AT HAMPTON.
Connecticut Field Trial Club Had a
 Good Day.

Hampton, Oct 25.-The field trials of dogs entered by members of the Connecticut Field Trial club began soon after sunrise in the country ly- ing to the north of here to-day with an entry list sufficient large to denote continued and sustained interest in the sport. A light frost had touched the fallen leaves in the open, making the conditions admirable for the dogs to take up the scent and to keep the trail, while the weather was delight full for the members to be afield. Three stakes were announced to be run, the Derby for settlers and point CTS whelped during last year, an all age stake for settlers and pointers who have won a prize in field trials, and a membership stake for the same breeds of dogs which have been trained out of hand by the club mem bers.
 At the annual meeting in the Chel- sea Inn last night 54 members were present and the gathering was the best in the clubs history. Officers were re- elected with the addition of Fl. l.. Wade of Waterbury to the board of governors. The re-electiOns were: w. c. Hungerford of New Britain, presi- dent; N. Wallace of Pennington, first vice president; w. G. Ely of Norwich, second vice president; K. M. Chapin, Pine Meadow, secretary and treasurer; E. Fl. Davidson of New Britain, D. A. Goodwin, jr, Newburyport, Mass. and William G. Comstock, board of gover- nors.
 When the members started out this morning for the first days run there were nearly 50 dogs in leash for the Derby. The Judges were MT Wallace and MT Goodwin, jr. The new course. which is on the souuh side of this place, seemed to be better adapted to the trials than the one used for several years. Tomorrow banquet will be given to the farmers who have per mitted the club to run over their land. The dogs will not return until dark, by which time all the stakes will have been decided.
 Several dogs of exceptional good strain are being watched in the mem bership stake.
