mine from extrinsic evidence what the
obligation is that was intended to be
secured, including it's nature, extent
and terms.
3-When the instrument made as Sc
curity itself contains q description Of
the obligation to be secured, the court
cannot add to. nor take away, any

a reader of the Journal told a Jour-
nal man, yesterday, that he saw a flock
of about % crows circling in the air
out on the Cony road, at point about
two miles out of the city, on the Togus
electric car line. One of the popular
weather superstitions is that a flock
of crows just before Christmas pro-
claims, or rather prophesies a very
mild winter, and the fact that these
birds showed up on time, makes one
wonder if the old saw will make good
this year.

MAY BE LATE NOW.
Teachers Resin:nj to Realize What
 Pension Bill Means.

Some of the school teachers are very much disturbed over the prospect Of favorable action by the legislature on lEe teachers pension bill. They were led to believe that the aldermen would turn It down and consequently they made no effort to head 1t off They calm that q whole lot Of deception was practiced to get it through tho city government and want the alder. men 10 rescind the action taken and give them another vote on the aues. hon It looks as if the teachers spoke too late. Some of them didn't know that the draft submitted to the alder men was dOctored, and those who did were afraid to say so. If this order Of things continues much longer it win he difficult to get anybody to express an opinion contrary to that held by the heads of the departments. It cer. talnly Is not wise to run afoul of one of these bosses, but the teachers who claim they knew it was going to be killed i'll the aldermanic chamber forgot that well meaning alderman often finds himself coerced into doing something which is entirely foreign t., his own sense of what is right simply because he is under the thumb of some- body else. If the teachers wonder why this should be so, how do they explain their own dread of being sus- pected of not favoring it?

GAVE SHORT WEIGHT. New Britain ( Cfieial Caught Coal Zeal
 CTS Very Nice'y.

Over in New Britain the seaier ot weights and measures kept tabs Oh ;be coal dealers when the city was putting in its supply of coal, and the result of his vigilance is not creditable to a majority of the dealers who were favored by slice of this patronage Ten cart loads coming from different yards were weighed by the official and six of them fell short of the required weight anywhere from fifty to hun drel pounds each. Some of the others were tritle over the weight. Putting inc whole of them together probably the city would not be out d great deal. but supposing the supply had beeh purchased from the companies tha; gave short weight, there IS no telling how much the city would lose. This Is bad condition of affairs. It gives an interruptions dealer big advan. tage over an honest competitor. to say nothing of the injustice done to con sumers who buy in good faith and never suspect that they are being wrOnyed. Tine short weight may have tcen an oversight. but even so it mus. have opened the eyes of the citizens of New Britain to the fact that whei. they pay for a ton of coal they ion't always get what they bargained for The price of coal is high enough. hut t comes higher still when the con- sumer is short hundred pounds ar more out of Il ton.

ASSAlLANT KNOWN
Man Who Assau ted Sudden: Tsnnant
 Uader Surveillance.

New Haven, Jan 20.-Coroner Mix said last evening that he knew the name of the assailant of George E. Tannant, the Waterbury Yale student who Is at the Yale intirmary with a fractured skull. He refused to make known the name.
 Captain Cowles of the detective bu- reau said last evening that he had not heard of the name and had not re- ceived any complaint in the case.
 No arrest has yet been made in connection with the case.
 Coroner Mix refused to say last night that Tenants assailant was a student or that he had asked for the arrest of the man he says he knows assaulted Tennant.
 Tennant is reported as improving, ard it 5 pos. iple that he will recover.
 There is the greatest display of re. ticence in the case by the authorVes. The witnesses of the affray Saturday night were all students and they have not assisted the coroner or Detective. McGrath to any extent. They sae.n to feel that they should protect the as. sailant.
 The case now seems dependent on the death or recovery of Tennant. With the hope held out that he will recover. no arrests are expected.

SHE SMOKED.
Husband Upbraided Wife for Using Cigarettes and
 She Drank Poison.

Chicago, Jan 20.--Because her hus~ band uporaided her for smoking cigar cites. habit which had undermined her health and which she could not conquer, Mrs Sadle Thompson, wife of Robert Oliver Thompson, sexton oi the Oak Park Episcopal church. has killed herself with poison. While she was in the fatal grip of the drug the sight of her griel-sulcken husband and lilrle daughter renewed her desire for life. and although q physical wreck, she prayed that she might live for ne. famly's sake. According to the testi- mony of Thompson at the i.k. Jest, his wife had been addcted to the cigarette habit for seven years. 'We have otteh had angry words over it," said Thomp- son. and she often had tried to break herself of the habit, but she would al- ways go back to it again. She was nervous and irritable because of the smoking and once before, four years ago. she tried to kill herself by taking Gl0rphine.'

Cambridge, Mass, Jan 20.--Counse. for the defense would not disclose the line of evidence which was to be in- troduced at to-day's session of court il. the trial of Charles L. Tucker for the alleged murder of Mabel Page. It was anticipated however. that witnesses would be, called, to testify further as to Fuckers movements on the day of the murder. March 31. 1904. It was thought additional attempts to identi- fy the stickpin which has been prom. illent exhibit also might be made.
 Tucker was pale to-day and showed some effects of the severe strain of the protracted trial. He appeared to be in q pleasant frame of mind. however, and chatted several minutes with At. torney James H. Vahey, his senior counsel. Mir Vahey, too. looked care worn and weary.
 The early evidence to-day related to the movements of Tucker on the day of the Page murder. Arthur H. Wig gin of Auburndale, who lives in the house next to Fuckers home in Au burndale, told of seeing Tucker at work on his lawn at 10 o'clock in the morning. He saw him again later ill the day, but could not tell the exact tune.
 Augustin Ballou, rural mail car. rier, passed the Page house at about noon on March 31 and saw no one, and there was nothing unusual to attract his attention about the place. He had d clear view of fields on both sides Of the Page house and could not remem Der seeing anyone in them.

RAILROAD
 MEN MEET.
Trying to Prevent a
 Big Strike.
Conference Between The Union Men Ended at Noc n Manager Atterbury to Meet Commit.ee To-Day,

Philadelphia. Pa, Jan 2O-The board of ad. ustment with Grand Mas ter P. H. Morrissey and First Vice Grand Master W. c. Lee. went into session at the Hotel Royal at 9 o'clock today. Both MT Morrissey and Mir Lee stated that there was nothing to say about the conference which began shortly before last mid night and lasted until nearly 2 o'clocs this morning. MT MorrIssey said that While he expected to see General Man ager Atterbury of the Pennsylvania railroad during the day he had no pos itive engagement with him. It is un- derstood, however, that MT Atterbury will set a time when he will receive the members of the board.
 It is believed that the proposition which Mir Morrissey will make to Mr Atterbury Is that extra firemen be n,aced at various points along the Pennsylvania railroad where it is ne- cessary for the regular firemen to have assistance. This. it is said, is what the board of adjustment has had in view and the board claims that it is not only practicable but an easy way out of the difficulty.
 As he was entering the conference with the board of adjustment Mir Nor rissey said:
 T am not ill a position to speak definitely of the prospects of settle mcnt of the strike at this time. came here for the purpose of adjust ing the differences between the con- pany and its employees and shall nse my best endaavors to do so. It would be unwiSe for me to make predic- ton as to the outcome of the confer. ence which I expect to have with Gen. eral Manager Atterbury to-day. Be- fore any conference with the railroad people must first go over the matter fully with the board of adjustment"
 E. l.. Cohen. chairman of the board of adjustment. said today that the situation looked much clearer and was not SO acute ar i- had hesn.
 ''It seems to be tending to settle. ment rather than q break" sad Mir Cohen. "Our side Is certainly willing 10 arbitrate and I have no doubt the
