JURYMEN
ARE PAID
What Treasury Payday
Yielded to Public
Creditors.

Yesterday was payday for current
expense warrants at the Treasury. 1t
produced a fresh crop of registrations
considerable in size, yet put goodly
amount of money into direct circula-
ton.
At closing time Treasurer Kepoikai
was embarrassed with troubles of 9TH
ers, so that he could not give all de-
tails. While sending his traps aboard
the Claudine, being under subpoena to
appear as a witness in his own old
court at Waikiki, the Treasurer was
served with another subpoena to appear
as a witness before Judge De Bolt
acAbss the street. He lost no time in
obeying, but all his time in doing so
was lost, for the case was being argued
to the jury when he arrived.
THE small warrants were paid Mr..
Kepoikai found breath to say. Some
of last months Public Works bills were
paid in cash. We registered all of the
bankers warrants.
.'AI of the warrants for March will
have to be registered" the Treasurer
added. Yes, salaries and payrolls too.
What else can be done? The warrants
will be paid according to their numbers
as money comes into the Treasury.
Among cash payments made yester-
day was $1739 for February payment of
jurors of the First Circuit Court.

CUT OFF
HIS QUEUE
WouId-be Suicide Gets
Rid of Long
Hair.

Leong Tung Kee, a disconnected
Chinaman, made a determined effort
last night about o'clock TO cross the
river through the agency of q vely
sharp chiseI. At least. that was his
intention, but after he had plunged the
instrument into his abdomen once, his
nerve deserted him.
officer Mulleitner ascertained from
some Hawaiian boys that a Chinaman
living in Achi's lane was acting queer
ly. They had seen him lying on Il boa-'d
raised on a couple of boxes, talking dis
jointedly in pidgin-English, and ne
seemed to be trying to stab himself.
The officer went to the mans room and
as he was about to enter some one said:
Look out, he's got a chisel!"
Mulleitner thought they said a pis-
toll, and reached for his own. He was
assured that it was only a chisel and
man was grooming and had the point of
the instrument resting upon a wound in
his abdomen which was bleeding free
ly. The chiseI was taken away from
him and he was taken to the Police
Station where his wounds were found to
be slight.
In his coat pocket the Chinaman's
queue was found. He had cut this off
before making his attempt at suicide.
The chisel and queue are now held as
evidence.
When arrested the Chinaman repeat
edly muttered the words ''Molokai'' and
.Ieprosy." 1t is believed that he con-
sidered himself a leper and feared he
would be sent to the Settlement on
Molokai

SHERIFF DOOLAN PRAISES
THE MOVE OF ATWOOD

Sheriff Doolan of Bridgeport, to
whom was assigned the task of serv-
ing $50 Writs which d. Preston At
wood has sworn out against the de-
linquent administrators in that section,
necessitating the travelling of over L.
GOO miles, says that the bringing OF
these actions has disclosed some eX-
traordinary affairs.
He is of the opinion that a good
many cases will be settled, as those
who have been proceeded against will
not dare to face trial in court.
81 don't know d. Preston Atwood
and I have never seen him that
know Of" said the officer of the law,
''but there is one thing certain, he has
done a lot of good and great many
poor people may be benefited in the
end. There are estates involved in
these actions in which there has been
nothing done in % years. There is
one case in this city where a man is
in the poor house and yet there is an
eight tenement house in which he is
interested.
t'There is still another estate which
is managed by a lawyer in this city,
and yet the man interested the most
has been walking the streets with his
feet on the ground for the want Of a
pair of shoes They may say what
they are a mind ito about d. Preston

did something with these poor peoI le

THURDER GETS 500
In His Suit Against Trolley Co.--Oth-
er Cases in Supe rior Court.

The cases of Alcott and Dingwen
against the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Co for 81 800 and $4,000 dam
ages respectively was still before
Judge Robinson in the superior court
to-day. Proceedings began with a
visit by the court and counsel to the
scene of the accident, which is almost
directly opposite Sheriff Rigney's resi-
dence on North Main street. There
was a trench at that point and the
plaintiffs, who were driving, claim to
have been thrown into it and injured
by collision with trolley car. The
company claims the plaintiffs did not
use due care and We're therefore con-
tributory negligent.
Alcott was the first witness heard to-
day. He was long time on the stand.
The drift of his testimony was that he
was with Dingwell in the wagon when
it was upset by the trolley car. He did,
not see the car until it was almost dl-
rectly near them, and that there were
two or three wagons between their
wagon and the trolley car. Further
more, the motorman did not ring the
car gong. He was sure of this, and
that it was impossible for him to get
across the track before the car on ac-
count of the other wagons. Why the
car did not collide with these wagons
he could not explain, Notwithstanding
they were nearer the car than that in
which he and Dingwe1l were seated.
The cases of Benjamin, and Benja-
min and wife and Ann Mayhem VS. the
Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co,
which were down for hearing IN the
superior court to-day, have gone over
on account of the inability of Judge
Lowe, counsel for the plaintiffs, to at
tend court. The case that will take
their places is May Mitchell ct al, APP
peal from probate.
May, Gertrude and Clotilda Mitchell
claim to be the next friends of May
Mitchell and grandchildren of the late
Martin Mitchell, who lived on East
Main street, and died February i, 1903.
His will was approved February 70,
1903. and it is claimed from that action
the above appeal is taken.
The appellants claim that when MT
Mitchell made his will he was under
the influence of Honora Egan and 9TH
ers To Mrs Terrence Hollywood, "a
daughter. Mr. Mitchell left $500; to
James, his son. he left a like amount,
and to Mary, another daughter, $500.
The appellants were left 81 each and
the balance was left to his widow.
There are other stipulations in the
will, which disposed of an estate OF
about $4,000, but those mentioned are
the main features, and it is on them the
contention is based
Judge Robinson has awarded DR.
Herbert r. Thurder $50 and his costs
in his suit against the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Co, which was
heard last week. The doctor sued for
$1,000. He claimed the defendants
snow pillow collided with his sleigh one
afternoon last winter, and dumped him

which prevented him from tranacting

THE HEBDOMAD THE
GREAT ATTRACTION

A stranger visiting Waterville last
night and not aware of what was on,
would feel like getting out in a hurry,
for the place looked as if it had been
invaded by an army of strange beings
whose manners and customs have long
since passed out of the public mind
They were haymakers who had col
lected to attend the entertainment of
st MichaeIs parish at Pythian hall.
The costumes were the most amusing
ever seen in Waterbury and must have
cost the Wearers some time and trou-
BILE, for they were by no means the
work of a few moments. 1t was a
sight to stand with the spectators and
watch the grand march. The judges
were puzzled to know what to do with
the prize and finally found way out
of their dilemma by awarding several
prizes instead of but one, as was orig
inally intended The first prize,
handsome umbrella and pretty choco-
late set. were given to James Preston
and Miss Lizzie Corrigan. Bags Of
candy were awarded the second best
couple, Bernard Coyle and Miss Julia
Kelly, and Edward Curley and Miss
Mary Curley each received a bag Of
peanuts. The voting contest for gold
handled umbrella between John Cook
son of Berbecker & Rowland's factory
and James G. Couch of the American
Pin Co, is attracting a good deal of at
tention and whole lot of quiet work
is being done in the interest of the
contestants. Mr. Cookson's hackers
feel confident of winning out, but the
Couch supporters are not idle and
some of the knowing ones claim that
the trophy is sure to go to the candi-
date from the pin shop. This evening
the degree team of the Ladies' aux
iliary, A. o. H., Of Naugatuck, will
give an exhibition drill. This is the
team that carried off the honors in
Hartford last year, They have learned
some new maneuvers since that time
and are said to be more proficient at
the business than some of the crack
companies in the state militoa.
