BOYS TINE NEARLY UP.
May Net Have to Work Out Costs in
New Haven Iail.

The Jail sentence of the eight boys
VINO We're convicted of completely in
the taDer switch assault case will ex-
pre- on August 30, they having on that
GATE served their Jail sentence, nine
months Imprisonment. The bows are
1nonas Kenny, Michael Ryan, Charles
1norpe, William Costello James and
1homas Quinn, Joseph Kelly and
stephen Ball. The technical Judgment
against them Is conspiracy to assault
certain employees of the Connecticut
railway and Lighting 90 and also to
ulJure the company. They were also
charged with assault, but on that count
lhey were found not guilty. 1t was
SAID at the time the verdict was rem
uered In the superior court that the
jury believed they were giving a YER
dict on the lighter accusation of the
CWo, and that impression still fingers
with great many lawyers. 1t turned
out, however, tnat the verdict of guilty
was given on the most serious of the
charges.
\ AS the costs go with the verdict al
ways, unless otherwise specified by the
court, and this was not done in this
case, each of the boys will have to
serve out or pay his share Of the costs.
The state costs of the trial, which Last
ed about eight days, amounted to ST.
o24.10. Each will have to bear his
share of this sum, which is SIPS, and
as the law passed by the legislature in
1901 allows Jail prisoners 81 a day,
each dollar of his portion of the total
costs means day more for each boy
to serve in Jail.
The trial began on the third Tuesday
in October and ended early in Novem-
Der, Judge George W. Wheeler Of
bridgeport presiding. Judgment was
entered up against the mon November
Both, which leaves them seven weeks
more to complete the Jail sentences.
AS the Central Labor union paid the
fees of the boys counsel, it is now re-
ported that it viii also pay the costs so
that the boys may be released on Au-
gust Both.

NAY BE SETTLED
In THE COURTS

The board of public works was to
have held a meeting this afternoon, but
enough members did not appear to
make a quorum and nothing was done.
The matter to be considered was the
dispute between the city and the troll
ley company regarding approval of it's
plans for the extension of the road
through Oakville to WATERFOWL. If
they fail to get together the question
will be tried in the courts next week on
an appeal of the city from decision OF
the railroad commissioners. 1t appears
TO be generally believed by the present
board that the offers made to the COM
parry last year was about right. This
was that they try conclusions with the
steam railroad in the courts as to
whether the abutments are in the nigh
way or not and in the event of failure
to make good this claim, that the city
lay out the street at that point in the
usual way, the cost to be. divided be-
tween the trolley people and the city,
the former paying So per cent of the
total amount. In the meantime the
company was to be permitted to build
the road on the street as it now exists
on condition that they install q light
under the bridge and stop the cars fifty
feet from the abutments and send the
conductors ahead. This was practical
lv agreed to at one time by both par
ties but the trolley company backed
out at the eleventh hour and the smab-
ter has been hanging fire ever since.

STANDARD OF TOWN
PLOT SCHOOL

Residents of the Town Plot school
district are very much disturbed over
the Wrangle created about the salary OF
the principal. They fear that it may
eyentuate in a return to the conditions
that existed in the district when pHOple
who had an interest In the education
OF their children and could afford the
outlay sent them into the Center school
district and found that it paid line
department of education pays $4uO OF
the salary and the district is asked to
pay the balance, which amounts to $loJ
a year. This brings up the question as
to why tile property owners IN the dis
trtct should not foot the whole bill in
stead Of a small portion OF 1t. They
are lucky If they can secure the SER
vices of competent teacher on pay
ment by the district of the modest sum
of $50. One OF the oldest residents OF
the district told representative of
this paper to-day that during its whole
history the school never was conducted
so successfully as it has been under the
management Of the present principal,
and that he was exceedingly sorry to
sec anything crop up that threatened
to disrupt the pleasant relations exist
ing between the principal and every
body who wants to see the school run
with a view to getting the best results
nossible for the children, many OF
whom cannot afford to go elsewhere
and will have to fight the battle Of life
eouipDed from an educational stand
point only with such training as they
can obtain In their own district, which
under the present regime he considers
good enough for all practical purposes.
He thought, however, that there are
enough level headed people in the
Town Paot district not to Jeopardlze
the interests of the school by tinker1ng
with the salary of the principal, who
took hold of 1t when it was in bad
shape and built it up to standard that
compares favorably with any other
school of the same grade in the city.
In connection with the above Hans
Rasmussen called at the Democrat
office today to say that he hasn't a
word to say against Miss Kelley, the
principal of the Town Plot school. He
says he likes her manner of conducting
the school, and thinks she Is fully
eomuetent and capable to fill the posi-
ton. He doesn't like the way the dis
trict Is governed, however, and is frank
in saying so. So far as the janitorship
goes he thinks the salary at present is
big enough for Committeeman Ayotte,
If it was Tor his predecessor. He Is
not anxious, he says, to have his niece
mixed up In Town Plot school affairs,
for he says he thinks too much Of ner.

Terrible Treatment of Cattle

Mrs. Jennie b. Powers found in Lon
donderry the worst case of neglect of an
finals which she has ever prosecuted.
H. II. Hammond had seven cows so emac-
lated and weak that they could hardly
stand, and several cows had died. The
barn where the stock was kept through
the winter was in a very filthy condition
and the animals were covered with filth
and sores. one COW had had both ears
and tail frozen off. The bodies of a COW
and calf were lying in the stable and Har-
mOnd said he had turned his hogs in to
eat them rather than bury them. At a
hearing before Justice Dean yesterday he
pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals and
was fined So and costs and ordered to
clean out his barns and bury the dead an
imals Mrs. Powers has been in VIII
Evansville several days in connection with
the Dooittle case AS a result Of her
work. VIII French's cattle. on the road
to the old ferry. were taken on foreclos-
ure proceedings recently and sold at auc-
ton. one COW was in such poor condi-
ton that she brought only 81.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
WILL HAVE A STRAIGHT BRIDGE.
S5ooo-Will Be 100 Feet Shorter and
Have Better Entrances.

Rave Better entrances
During the past week the committee
for the erection of the new Connecticut
river bridge have held several meetings
and progress is being made on the plans
William A. Russell came here one day
last week and met the entire committee,
ten in number. and at another time a
portion of the committee met three of
the engineers of the Rutland railroad,
and at each meeting a harmony of opin-
ion and gradual shaping of definite plans
was noticeable. A decision was reached,
at least for the present, to discard all
plans relating to crooked bridge, or
for a bridge with a pier in the river. The
company have received definite assur-
a pier costing not more than $4,000 above
what had been discussed. They have now
sent out requests for plans and proposals
for a straight bridge (Which will be 100
feet shorter than the proposed crooked
one and will give a much better entrance
into both Bellows Falls and North Wal
pole), to be single span bridge of about
$40 feet in length. either of the suspen-
sion or the cantilever style, and expect
to have definite proposals within a week
or So The enterprise is large and i'm
portant one and the committee is spend
ing much time in being sure that they
get the best thing to be had for the mon
ey and what will best accommodate the
villages on both sides of the river. Mr.
Russell expresses himself forcibly as be-
ing in entire harmony with the plans, with
n willingness to aid the project in every
manner possible.

plans for Beautlfyinq the Village.

The board of trade recently made the
appointment of the following committee
on village improvement: c. w. Osgood
w. c. Belknap, Dr. j. T. Ridden, j. j.
Fenton and Rev. c. w. Jackson. This
committee has organized as follows: c..
w. Osgood, chairman; w. c. Belknap
secretary. They are planning an agrees
sive warfare upon the unsightly spots
about the village. Hearing that a de-
partment at Washington was furnishing
information and suggestion regarding
such improvements, they asked Congress
man Haskins for them. He not only fur
nshed suggestions, but had the depart
ment of agriculture send the committee
a private mail bag filed with shrubs,
bulbs and flower seeds for the purpose of
assisting i'm their work The committee
have looked the village over carefully
and decided upon intersections of streets,
prominent vacant lots. the railroad
grounds the banks of the canal near Ca
nal street, and other places which they
propose to make to blossom as the rose
this season. The project is being hearth
ly seconded by the abutters and owners
of the different properties and at next
Thursdays meeting of the board of trade.
the committee will ask for $50 to carry
out the work The plans as now laid out
contemplate a much more general move
ment toward identifying the village than
anything before attempted every mem
Der of the committee being interested and
willing to devote energy to it.
