Hartford. May 25.-Some one. sup posedly a person with whom he had trouble some time ago. cut the throat of q valuable Ally belonging to Ku- dolph Eckert of Bloomfield Sunday night. Mir Echert heard the commoticn in the barn and when he approached. saw 6 man running away. Investiga- ton showed that the throat of Pal metto Princess. by Palmetto Prince. 2:11, had . cut eight inches long and two inches deep. Fortunately the clash was low and the windpipe was not severed. While the cut is serious tfr lilly will in all probability recover.
 Mir Eckert says that he is almost positive who committed the deed but he has made no complaint fo the au- thorities or the humane society.

COURT HITS WEAVER.
Injunction Replaces Dismisssd Phila-
 dslphia Officials.

PHILADELPHIA. May 25.-The gas grab situation assumed a new phase here when Director of Public Safety Smyth and Director of Public Works Costello. who were removed from of flee by Mayor Weaver. obtained tenn porary injunction from Jutige Ralston in the common pleas conrt restraining the mayor from removing them from office and also an injunc,io against Colonel Sheldon Potter ana 4. Lincoln Acker. their successors. from perform. ing the duties of their rcsoective of Aces. Argument on tile injunction will be heard next Monday.
 The leaders in opposition to Mayor Weaver announce that their lines re- main unbroken. thnt the gas lease will be passed over the mayors veto next week and that the lease will be put in. to operation.
 The new directors were in oflce about two hours. Their short incum- bence had it's humorous side. All morning stream of visitors had been calling on the new direetarsl to se0ll- gratulate them. After the new direct. ors went out and the old officials went in visitors were stil! arriving. One citizen not acquainted with the new or old directors came to the ofiice of the director of public safety to con gratulate Mir. Potter. He was about to shake hands with Mfr. Smith when he was told of the quick change that had taken place.
 Mayor Weaver on arrival in New York for the purpose of consulting with ElIhu Root on the situation in the Quaker City regarding the lease of the gas works was interviewed as he step ped from the train.
 'I am in the fight to the finish" he said. "and believe that will win out.
 What is your object in seeing Mir. Root" he was asked.
 "I wan; to consult with him as to the legality of my position and on the en- tire situation as it exists now in Phila- delphia.''
 You can say this for me- he re- marked emphntically:
 Politics will never govern and can never govern the will of the people. Politicians must obey their constitu- ents and not command them. The peo- pie of Philadelphia are tired of graft The gas franchise was the final straw"
 Mayor Weaver took exception to Dr. Parkhurst's remark before sailing for Europe that Philadelphia was the rot tenest city in the world"
 Mir. Weaver had a telegram from Dr. Lyman Abbott. which read:
 Congratulations on your grand fight fin the interests of good government. It is what the American people need"
 The city is in gala attire. In all win dows on Chestnut street. North and South Broad street. Market street and even in residential portions of the city the stars and stripes are futtering de- hance to the organization. Mayor Weaver came 10 his ofice In his auto mobile. and his route from his Oyer brooke home to the city hall was one long ovation.
 Al times he could hardly work his way through the crowds that gathered In the streets fo shake his hand.
