ARRESTED YESTERDAY
Man Whs Took Honey From Safe as
 Polr Five Years Ago.

A man for whom County Sheriff Dunham, the Waterbury police force. Eugene l.. Jacques and s. z. Poll have been looking for for five years, was arrested in Springfield yesterday by the police of that place. Frederick Barney is the name of this individual, and for five years he has been a fugi- tive from justice. When he lived here he was a bill poster for Jacques and Polls theaters. One night when the attraction at Poli's was very popu- lar one, Barney knew that the receipts would be large. He knew the opeya- tions of the treasurer, John J. Splain, that it was his custom to put the re- ceipts for the night in the safe in the box office and bank them the next day. Barney bided his time. He contriyed to hide himself among the seats, or what is called in technical parlance ''the front of the house." and when the lights were extinguished and every body gone home, he left his hiding place, opened the safe and extracted about $190. He had no difficulty in getting out of the house for he had prepared an exit. m
 Next day he could not be found, and his absence, coupled with the robbery of the safe, left no doubt of his guilt He was arrested soon after and bound over to the superior court. He was in the party of jail prisoners that came on the train from New Haven the morning court opened. There was the usual number of sheriffs in charge of the gang, and among them were Sheriffs Spencer of Seymour and Rig ney of this city. There is some doubt as to which of these had him in charge. He managed to crush his way forward among the people alighting from the train and the moment he got on the platform of the car he jumped and was lost in the crowd in a mo ment
 Jailer Adams has gone to Springfield to bring Barney here.

 Have you noticed those handy little things something like three-prong fork which contractors now use to sup port lanterns and posts about tlitches instead of barTelsf Just as soon as a contractor sees them he wants them right away and as a result they are in big demand and soon they will be in use all over the country. They were patented by Daniel Mccarthy of this city and are made at Whlttemore's in Naugatuck and cost SIS dozen. In addition to being the proper thing for supporting blanks and making a neat temporary fence along a ditch in the street they are provided with lock for holding lanterns, making 1t quite a difficult thing to steal lanterns, some thing which has always been a great source of annoyance to contractors.

This appears to be time when gas companies while reducing the price of gas per 1000 feet make poorer gas and increase the pressure. so that while we pay less per foot our gas bills are increased and the light is less satis- factory. To get the best of thls one sided arrangement we are practically compelled to use Gas Mantles, which, While not increasing the consumption or gas, increases to a wonderful de- gree it's Illuminating power. Mantles, Of course, cost money, but with req sonable care they are exceedingly dur able. We personally have had them last for IS months, and how much long CT they would have lasted had they not been broken by accident we cannot say, but we do know of cases where the same mantle has served for years. We have Mantles at all prices, 10c, 15c, 20c, 25c, BOG and 35c.

THE LIBRARY PARK
Bureau of Assessment Got Opinion oi
 Property Owners Last Night.

The bureau of assessment held meeting last night and heard property owners interested in the Library park project and the matter of establish fhe latter case P. H. Carroll said he would claim 5000 damages in case H line should be established which would interfere with his plans for his 5 new apartment block at North Will low and Pine streets. N. R. Bronson was willing to pay damages rather than see such condition created as existed at West Main near Willow street No action was taken. 7 On the Library park question quite few were not represented. Those who were present answered questions from Chairman Spencer as follows as to the value of their property:
 Frederick o. Peabody will sell for a reasonable price, $15.00O.
 F. B. Merriman said he claimed no Manages, adding that he would remain where he is.
 Jacob Buckner, representing Mrs Hattie B Solomon said the property was worth the same as MT Peabodys, u5,00O.
 D. T. Root said his place was not for sale. He is satisfied to remain where he is.
 B. NJ. Hotchkiss and the Hotchlziss Paper company, represented by N. k. Bronson. The company does not de- sire to sell but if the city wants to convert that property into park they have no objection, but the matter of damages would be governed to con- siderable extent by whether they would have to get out now or five years hence. They don't desire to change but if they are to go they would have something to say regard ing time limit as well as damages.
 J. S. Elton, speaking for himself and Kucy N. Weyland said he hadn't given the matter any consideration. He never asked anybody and hadn'r sven thought it over himself.
 Oscar J. Hart appeared for Jane and Mary Davis. He said they con- slider their property worth 3,500.
 Valentine Bohl claimed $20oa front loot. tt ihl'B
 W. l.. Hall Co and F. W. Hitchcock didn't want to change and had no Hgures to offer.
 J. S. Elton said that the railroad company would sell such land as it does not need for railroad purposes at a fair price. Mir Spencer wanted to known if they would pay any benefits to which Mir Elton replied evasively, remarklng that he supposed if it could be shown that any special benefits ac- crued to them they would be willing to pay.
 Harry Beardsley said their interest there consisted of mortgage.
 The same replies were received with reference to the Dime, Water bury and West Side Savings banks.
 Joseph and Mary Hanlon, Thomas F. Lawlor, counsel. Don't want the park, would prefer to keep their prop erty, but if the city wants it they will sell it for $10,000 and it Is bar gain at that price.
 E. H. Platt, Mary F. Burrall and George Roberts were not present but MT Peabody informed the board that he would sell at fair price and that If they cared to talk with him ,be. could be communicated with9aFtheh Oakville Pin company's factory.
 At this juncture the hearing closed. It is understood that the board will make a report on the matter soon, probably Monday night.

PLENTY OF WORK AT
THE BELEN CUTOFF
30 Says Superintendent Whit
ney in Communication to
The Evening Citizen.
he REFUTES OTHER REPORTS

In its news columns The Evening
Citizen published a few days ago a
story to the effect That large hunters
OF men who were taken into custody
by the Albuquerque police complained
that Denver employment agencies
sent them to this territory for work
on the Belen cut-off. upon receipt Of
50 each, but that upon their arrival
the men discovered they had been
victimized, for according to their re-
pcrts. there was no work for them.
The following communication to the
editor of The Evening Citizen from
Superintendent c. w. Whitney, OF
the Lantry-Sharp Contracting com
pany. engaged in the work at the Be
len cutoff, is self-explanatory;
Noting the articles in your paper
of December s and 8. regarding Den
yer employment agencies shipping
men to Belen, would say that the peo-
pie and officers of Albuquerque are
being imposed upon by men WIN have
been shipped to Belen to go TO work
on the cutoff, but upon arriving here
found that the places of superintend-
ent, general foreman and t~ime-keepers
were filed. and as they did no care
for hard work, they would rather lay
in Jail or prey upon the too %credulous
public.
There has been a shortage of men
all the time at camps from twenty
miles out of Belen to Epris and
beyond, and there is no excuse for
men claiming they cannot get work.
A construction train leaves Belen for
the end of the track, twenty miles
out, every morning, and if you care
to investigate. you will find that nine
ty men out of 100 who claim that they
cannot get work. did not even go to
the first camp, but got off the train
at Albuquerque or came to Belen and
made no attempt to get employment.
If you believe all the stories told
you by these men. you will establish
a reputation that will stick TO you
through the winter, and you will have
a horde to take care of that will GER
tainly tax your jail capacity.
Furthermore, We would prefer that
you take the trouble to investigate
this matter thoroughly before pub
fishing articles of this character. as
it certainly will work an injury to the
general public as well as an injus-
tice to the contractors who are doing
the work.

MORE RuMoRs OF A
SALE ARE DENIED.

Rumors as to the sale of the Santa
Fe Central Railway continue no float
around, but nothing official in this line
has been received, a the Santa Fe
New Mexican. One report on the
street yesterday was to the effect that
the sale had been made to the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railway, and n
ether report had it that the Rock Is
land hal bought the Santa Fe Cen
trail and had also arranged to take ov-
er the Denver & Rio Grande up to
Alamosa, Colorado, and would make a
broad gauge line to that point. When
told of these rumors today Treasurer
Frank Diebert, and Assistant to the
President and General Manager S. B..
Grimshaw only laughed at the report
and said they knew nothing of them.

PRODUCTION OF BORAX
IN THE YEAR 1904

The production, imports. uses, and
technology of borax are Interestingly
described by Charles G.. Yale in a re-
port on the borax industry in 1904
written for the United States Geo
logical Survey.
All the output of borax in the
United States comes from California,
and the larger part of that from the
extensive colemanite deposits in San
Bernardino county. The total prod
uct for the year 1904 amounted TO
1851 tons, crude, valued at $69S, $40.
OF this amount, $4,000 tons. valued at
$50S,OO0, came from San Bernardino
county, Cal, the remainder coming
from Ventura and Inyo counties. In
1903 the returns gave an aggregate
production of crude amounting to
34,430 short tons, valued at $661 400.
The production in 1902 was 17,404
short tons of refined boraX, valued at
$2,447,614, of which 6S2 short tons.
valued at S150,O00. were stated to be
bcraic acid, and 1900 short tons of
crude borax, valued at s91, 900, a total
of 20,004 short tons, valued at $685.
GA.
The amount of borax imported into
the United States in 1904 was 1884,
952 pounds, valued at $40, 500. Borates,
both the calcium and sodium, were
imported to the amount of S9,447
pounds, worth 5000. The quantity
of boraic acid imported is given as
7OS,Sl5 pounds, valued at S27,65S.
An interesting feature of Mr.. Yale's
report is a description of the Blumen-
berg sulphur-dioxide process, which
is used by the American Borax COM
pany at Daggett, Cal. Other pro-
cesses for the manufacture of boraic
acid from colemanite have been de-
scribed in previous survey reports.
These include the Moore process, hy-
~drochloric acid process, sulphuric acid
process and Bigott process.

extract from the Surveys annual vol
ume, Mineral Resources of the

SEVERED LEG Is
CLUE TO DEATH
SANTA FEE PORTER MEETS HIS
DEATH UNDER WHEELS NEAR
TRINIDAD - GREWSOME FIND
WAS FIRST INTiMATloN THAT
HE HAD BEEN KILLED.

A Trinidad dispatch says: When
w%estbound Santa Fee passenger train
No. z pulled into the station here at
8 o'clock this afternoon, a car in
spector found a human leg lying on
the brake beam of the forward bag
gage car. The leg was that of a col
ored man and the clothing indicated
that il came from a train porter.
Investigation developed that f. Nc
Lenore, one of the porters, was miss
ing.
An engine was secured and several
railroad men started to search. A
half mile back pieces of the body were
found strewn along the track. At the
Colorado & Southern railroad GUESSING
a mile east of Trinidad, were found
the head and trunk of a body which
was supposed to be that of McLenore.
He had tagged a passenger train
over the Colorado & Southern rail-
road crossing, and it is supposed that
he slipped and fell under the train
when he attempted to get on board.
The remains were taken to a To-
cal undertaking room. DIR. Espey,
county coroner. will hold an inquest
at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
McLenore's home was at Las We
gas, n. NJ. He had been running on
the road as porter only a short time.
