CAT MADE TROUBLE.
South End Man Thought Burglar
 Was in the House.

Sometimes small matter creates big sensation in a house, especially in the night when people are asleep and the least thing out of the ordinary makes folks suspicious. The other evening resident of the south end of the city was aroused from his slum- berS by racket in the cellar and con cluded that a burglar was in the house. After arming himself to the teeth and getting his wife in front or him the man ventured down the stair way to see what was up. When they reached the cellar something rolled over against wash boiler, making so much commotion that the man thought he heard a pistol shot and was half way up the stairs when his wife called him and after a good deal of coaxing induced him to return. The misch1et maker turned out to be large white cat with it's head thrust into an emp ty fish can. The feline got its head into the can, couldn't get it out and was doing all kinds of stunts in an ef- fort to shake off the ungainly head gear. When the man saw that the intruder was nothing more dangerous than the house cat he became very brave and after hard struggle took the can off and set puss free. Then he cautioned his companion not to mention the incident to the neighbors, but whether it was because she didn't want to keep it quiet or couldn't, Is not known, but 1t any case it got noised around and the man has heard of it in different parts of the town since.

CITY WON FIRST ROUND.
In the Case of Extending Trolley
 Tracks to Watertown.

The city of Waterbury has won the first round in its appeal from the de cision of the state railroad commits sioners in regard to the extension Of the trolley tracks to Watertown. After the railroad commissioners had de cided that the trolley company could extend it's tracks under the OakVlue trestle on its way to Watertown, the city took an appeal. DemurTers were entered on the appeal by Judge bur pee in behalf of the trolley company, contending that the decision of the railroad commissioners was final. Sey- eral weeks ago briefs on these de- murrers were submitted by the oppos- ing attorneys to Judge Shumway, who handed down a decision to-day to the effect that the demurrers are over ruled. The case will now be tried on its merits Judge ShumWay's decision is as follows:
 ssThese demurrers may have been designed to present to the court the question whether upon the facts stated in the reasons of the appeal any acts of the railroad commissioners appear to be improper, 1nexped1ent or illegal
 If this was the only question pre- sented by the demurrers or involved in a ruling thereon, the demurrers should be sustained. The appellants reasons of appeal in seventh para graph may be stated in brief in this wise: that a compliance with the order or the commissioners will entail expense upon the city and 1t will make the crossing of the 'Watertown branch more dangerous than it now is.
 ''These facts may be admitted ana still it does not follow that the acts oI the commissioners are necessarily ID. equitable, illegal or inexped1ent. Bur 1t is apparent from the appellants ar. pument that 1t is not intended to rest mon the allegations in the reasons of appeal. nor is the appellant compelled to rest it's case upon these bare allega- tions.
 The appellant may show if 1t be a fact that some other plan may aVofd the additional expense and the h. creased danger and be equally adVan" taQeous to both the railroad company and the city of Waterbury. The aD- pellant could do without reasons of ap- peal.
 sAThere may be other reasons why the order of the railroad commission CTS is improper or inexpedient, sDu' the appellants are not precluded from showing how the expense may be less. ened or the danger avoided without thereby imposing unreasonable or un- necessary burdens upon the appellee.
 MThe rule to be observed is stated by the appellant in it's brief thus: eWhen the court has heard all the ev1- dence 1t will then determine what Is just in the premises, and if 1t deter mines that the commissioners have acted unjustly it will proceed itself to do equity
 s'The demurrers are overruled.

Action of the Washington Cabinet

 CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 11.-Min- ister Leishman has received message from the porte promising favorable communication in day or two regard ing the American representation in reference to the school question and other matters.
 There is no doubt that the action of the United States cabinet in discussing the adviaability of breaking off diplo- matic relations and the near approach of American warships to Smyrna has hurried the sultan in his resolution.
