TEAMS ARE WORKING.
Rubbish Being cartsd Away in Every
 Kind of Vehicle.

The order to clean up is being gener- ally observed and as a result every man who has horse and team has all the work he can swing into. The de- mand for teams is so great that al mOstr very kind of a horse that cs,m walk at all is being pressed into ser vice and the same thing is true with reference to wagons. some of them De. ing so rickety and infirm that it is a wonder how they manage to hold to. gether with nothing fin them let alone when filed with all kinds of rubbish. Some years ago there used to he a great deal of talk about dumping ground in Waterbury. but although more refuse is being hauled from one place to another now than ever be fore it is curious to note that nobody hears whisper about a dumping ground.

THE DIVORCE COURT.
Evidence Given by pr. Graves and
 F.. Ramstti Satisfied Judte Case.

Mrs Minnie Fitzpatrick. whose suit Friday, as eX-Judge Case did not think the women witnesses competent to tes- tify about intoxication. was given a decree this morning. The necessary evidence was given by Dr F. G. Graves and F. J. Rametti.
 The contested divorce suit of Charles A. against Clara Sprague was next taken up. This suit was based on al legged intemperance and assertion. The plaintiff testified that about six years ago his wife deserted him for no ap- parent reason. unless that it was an other man was in the case. Once be- fore she had left him. but he soon after heard she was ill and he went to her and induced her to return.
 The final separation took place while he was at work. The morning of that day the defendant did very unusual thing for her; prepared her husbands breakfast. He was so surprised that he asked her what was up. She evaded a direct answer, but upon his return for dinner he knew t.-e cause. for his wife had gone and taken every thing but his clothes with her, even to his last dollar. The only thing besides his clothes she left was number of unpaid bills. Six weeks later he ascer- tained that she was at her folks home in Danbury, which she was accustomed to visit almost every week. This rath- CT surprised him because he could not surmse what took her there
 One day not long after she had left him he met her and she told him the boy was i'll and she wanted $40. He replied that if the boy was i'll he would go to see him and that he had no money just then. When he called at her parents home in Danbury her mother opened the door and said she would call her down. But knew the ins and outs of the house. said Sprague. 'and l was up stairs ill a minute and found. a man in room. My wife denied the boy was sick and said she wanted no more help from me. l have not seen her since"
 The rest of the evidence was fur nshed by Christian Burke, Watson Thompson and George F. Eastwood. The latter testified that the defend ants father is veteran of the civil war, and his wife does washing and by this means and the old mans pension they contrive to live. They have the custody of the boy.
 The court asked why the defendant was not represented and the clerk in- formed him that her counsel. Mir Fay Tor of Danbury. had to appear before a legislative committee. The court did not think that sufficient excuse and said an explanation was due from him. He informed the clerk to notify Mrs Sprague to he on hand tomorrow morning when court opens if she wish. es to make any statement.

A tele- phone call took Officers Brearton and Erickson to the stable. where he found O'Dell stretched out, lying in bis own blood. Still he was not hurt. and there were no marks on him this morning. After he was removed to the station house they returned and found Mur- phy, whose nose appeared to have been given considerable of a touching up last night. Both were charged with breach of the peace and tntOxication. Murphy, shaking with laughter, said he supposed he was guilty, and ODell, hardly able to open his mouth with tears, mumbled something unintelligi- ble. Both were found guilty and were fined s and costs on each complaint.
 Timothy Sullivan was fined So and costs for intoNication. or given the al. ternative of going to jail.

APPEAL TO BE ENTERED AT ONCE.
Convicted on Seven Counts. Sentenced 0n'Six-She Said, "What More Does ,4 the World Want to Know aa
 of Me NOws"

CLEVELAND, O., March 2S.-Judge Tayler in the United States district court late yesterday overruled a mo- ton for new trial in the case of Cas- sic l.. Chadwick and at once sentenced her to ten years imprisonment.
 So that unless the higher court inter. feres Mrs. Chadwick will spend the greater part of the next ten years in the Ohio state penitentiary.
 The sentence was imposed upon her by Judge Robert w. Tayler in the United States district court at o'clock last evening. The sentence came at the close of busy day for the court in bearing arguments on a motion for a new trial, which lasted all day. The motion was overruled.
 Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on sev- en counts and sentenced upon six counts. For four of these counts a sen- tence oG twNa gears each was imposed. Upon two counts sentence of one year each was imposed, making total sentence of ten years.
 sAS sOOu ac NuC SChNChNCf was paV- nounoed Attorney J. P. Dawley of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took excep- tions to the sentences upon each count except the first count. The defense in- tends to make the claim that the court cannot impose separate sentence for each count; that the law applies to the general charge instead of each incident of general charge. The various counts of the indictment are considered by the defense to refer only to details of the general offense. This point will also be contested in the higher court. as will the other points of the Chadwick trial which resulted in her conviction.
 Either Judge Francis J. Wing or Mir. Dawley will go to Cincinnati today to make arrangements for a review of the case by the United States circuit court of appeals.
 Mrs. Chadwick said there was noth- ing she cared to say herself before sen- tence was pronounced. Her attorneys made no appeal to the court, and the sentence was immediately imposed. Judge Tayler made DO remarks except to explain the terms of the sentence. He stated that the sentence of one count should begin at the expiration of the one preceding it.
 Mrs. Chadwick was charged. with conspiring with bank officials to certi- fy her checks when she had no money in the bank. This is transaction prohibited by the government for the protection of the depositors and stock holders of national bank.
 By good behavior Mrs. Chadwick can reduce her time of imprisonment to eight years and four months
 When seen immediately after her sentence had been pronounced Mrs. Chadwick. replying to a question. said. What more can. the world want fa Epavw ahorrf mo norS'

BERKELEY. Cal, Sept. 5.-The first
official bulletin descriptive of the fos.
sils unearthed in the expedition to the
John Day region, in eastern Oregon,

partment at Berkeley. 1t describes

are extinct pigs and %peccaries as large
as cows. camel.like q%uadrupeds and
not the least interesting, the famous
three.toed horse.
The "elotherium," or giant hog, is
a monster mammal nearly ten feet
long and six or seven feet high.
Three .fourths of the remains of ami.
mails found are of the peculiar hoofed
beasts named "oreodons" part deer
and part hogs. These varied in size
from that of a dog to that of a small
cow.

Purging Registration Lists.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-The city
election assessors, who number more
than LOO, opened thesvarious polling
places in this city today for the pur.
pose of making additions and collec.
tions to the voting lists for the Novem.
Der election. When the polls opened
1000 policemen detailed by the depart
ment of public safety we're distributed
throughout the city, under orders to
note any attempt on the part Of asses.
sors or others to padsthe list.
In addition to the policemen, the
city party and the democrats had
watchers at each of the polling places.
Under the lawjthe assessorsl are bound
to add to the list any person who
makes personal application. The
work of the assessors is attracting I'm.
usual attention because of the charges
of election frauds and the extraor-
binary padding of the voting lists with
names of fctitiuos voters that have
been made since Mayor,W Weaver broke
with the republican organization.
The police department has prepared a
list of more than $4,000 alleged bogus
names. An affidavit has been obtained
in each case and these were presented
TO the various assessorsswhen the de-
mand was made TO strike them from
the lists.

over the terms of peace arranged with

open and a large crowd gathered aud
