d NEW FIRM.
Frank ,. 0'Nsil and John '. 0'Bsisn
 Ready for Businsss.

An interesting announcement is made tonight in our advertising col umns in which John F. O'Brien, real estate and insurance agent, and former superintendent of the water works, and Frank B. O'Neill, another we'll known but younger real estate man, have joined forces and will conduct gen. eral real estate, insurance and bill col. lecting business under the firm name ot O'Brien < O,'Neill.
 MT O'Rrien has been q resident of Waterbury all his life. where ne mas earned the confidence of all with whom he has come in contact. He has had d real estate office ill the 1pothecaries, Hall block for number of years, which was interrupted while he was superintendent of the water works. Since that time he has devoted most Of his time to the management of his own property.
 MT O,Neills entrance into the real estate field has been more recent, but even before he started business he had great deal of experience with property. and since he opened an office he has shown that he is especially adapted to this field of work. He is an energetic young man of the strictest honesty and integrity and his business methods are very favorably spoken of by men who hold substantial positions in the community.
 The new firm will have offices ot the third floor of the Apothecaries' Hall block.

TWELVE WIVES DEAD.
Chicago Police Charge Many Murders
 to HOch,

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Chief of Police O'Neill has declared his belief that Jo- ham Adolph Hoch. alleged to have been married to more than score of women, has murdered at least twelve of them.
 This statement was made by the chief in letter written by him to Cap tain James J. Langan of the detective bureau of New York. in which he re- quested the police department of that city to follow clew given through an anonymous letter received by Inspector of Police Shippy from woman living at the Belvedere hotel. New York.
 In this letter it is intimatcd that rH0ch married two New York women. ' whom he has abandoned. An attempt was made to have Hoch indicted by the grand jury on charges of wife abandonment and bigamy. The con- plainants were Mrs. Amelia Augusta Fischer Hoch, Mrs. Anna Hendrick- n-Hoch and Mrs. Marie Goerk- -Hoch. It was found, however. that in bigamy cases the wife cannot testify against the husband and that witnesses to the marriages must he secured before ac- tion can be taken. As the marriages took place in various parts of the coun- try, time will be required in which to secure witnesses to give testimony against Hoch sufficient to indict him.
 At Minneapolis, Minn., it is said, Hoch attempted to murder Mrs. Mabel Leichsman-Hart in June. 1903. Dr. c. l.. Hart. who called Milwaukee. Wis, his home. married Miss Leichsman of the Dewey theater, in that city. dur ing the first week in June. 1903. Three days after. while they occupied quar- ters in the Allen hotel, he is alleged to nave tried to chloroform her as she lay in bed. The attempt WAS unsuccess- full. and Hart disappeared. Indications are now that Hart and Hoch are iden- tical
 The prisoner. John Joseph Adolph Hoch. now held in New York, was ar- raigned there yesterday. He joked in court and said laughingly. Wait till I get to Chicago and it will be differ ent"
 ''I never had but two wives" he said. ''One, is living and one was May Fischer. who died recently. But had nothing to do with her death. am much abused man and am standing as scape- goat for another man. I am willing to go back to Chicago and face a trial"
 This circular" said Detective Fogar- ty. says you had other wives when you married May Fischer and that you are guilty of bigamy."
 ::I only mad one other wife," said Hoch.
 Hoch's characteristic of proposing to every unattached woman he met re- suited in his capture by the New York police.
 Coroner Hoffman here has reported that traces of poison have been found in iNe stomach of Mrs Marie Walcker- Hoch through the chemical analysis.

THE LATHR0P sQUABBLE.
hrs. Lathrop Tells Her stesy-hany
 Witnesses Wore Heart.

At the afternoon session of the hear. ing of Mrs Elizabeth $. Lathrop's suit against her husband, Edwin U. La throp, for maintenance, before Attor- ney John P. Kellogg, committee ap- perior court, Mrs Lathrop took the stand. She testified that her marriage to the defendant took place in 1S0O and that she was born in 1S66 She said her husband wished her to live ill his building on Bank street, but she refused. In some respects MT Lathrop was very frugal and in others rather liberal. He was fond of taking trips to scenic parts of the country, Wash ington, Maine and Niagara Falls.
 On the day of their separation, which took place at his request, Sher- Tiff Gillette and Constable Booth went to the house with furniture wagon: Mrs Lathrop asked them the cause of their presence there and they told her they were present to preserve the peace, because they had been informed that she had said she would shoot her husband if he dared remove anything from the house. Mrs Lathrop told them sts had no such intention and had made no such statement to any one and that she did not know how to fire a revolver.
 The witnesses examined yesterday were E. r. Fitzgerald, Edward B. San derson, Dr Frank J. Erbe, John T. Collyer. Charles S. Belden, Gordon Russell, G. H. Clark, Frank J. Lud- <1 1is,r rrtc Tah HEoCan GiHnny Topoy and Mrs Leland.
 Attorney Gillette testified to-day that on June 4, 1903, he visited Mrs Sidney Corey with Mir Lathrop for the purpose of getting information from her on which to base her petition for divorce. Mrs Corey had gone to New York and week or so later they called to see her again and obtained the desired information. A few days later Mir Lathrop told his wife that it would he better for them to part and he accordingly left her. The divorce papers were not served upon Corey until September and soon after At torney Gillette was paid by Mir La throp for his services. ..
 The greater part of the mornings session was taken up with witnesses testifying to the expense of living in Watcrbury's tenderloin. The wit nesses were all neighbors of the La throps when they lived together, Mrs F. T. Turner, Mrs Henry L. Rowland and Mrs Burritt. Gordon Russell tes- tif1ed that at present Mir Lathrop's living expenses might amount to $500 or S1.0OO a year. He could not give any idea on what they were when he was living with his wife. but some of the other witnesses thought they would amount to between $3,0O0 and S4.000 a year. ...., --.... ..
 It was shown that Mir LathrOps in come from his Bank street property amounts to about S5.OOO. A Miss Me Nally. clerk in Lord X Taylor's Dry Goods store in New York. testified to a certain bill of goods bought there by Mfr Lathrop.

A MEGAPHONE BALCONY.
Arrangement at n Kansas City Depot
 For Announcing Trains.

Arrangement at n Kansas City Depot
 For Announcing Trains.
 Some time ago the crier of the Union depot at Kansas City. Mo-, complained that he could not fight his way through the crowds that throng the old shack, says the Kansas City Star. Under the former arrangement he walked a beat up, and down the waiting rooms at in- tervals bawling out the time of depar- 2ure and destination of trains about due to leave the depot. Mr. Sanford conceived the idea of building bal cony or quarter deck above the main outlet to the depot platform. Here was installed the man with megaphone."
 His equipment consisted of a field glass, gong fixed to the ceiling, the time cards and a monster megaphone, Between trains he pores over the time card, studying the time of departure of the 200 trains that go out of the depot daily. He keeps in touch with the vari- ous train masters and has reports from the telegraph office as to the time of arrival of through trains. Seated in a comfortable armchair, he scans the de. pot platform. Through his field glass he sights Santa Fe No. 5 backing into the depot preliminary to it's westward Journey. He jumps to his feet. seizes his Jig megaphone and pulls the bell rope that rings the gong fixed to the ceiling. Having thus attracted atten- tion, he announces three times ill diff ferent directions. "All-l-l aboard Atch. ison, Topeka and Santa Fe for Holli. day. Lawrence, Topeka and points in Colorado, Utah and Texas" In this manner he announces the departure of all of the outgoing trains.
 The young man who uses the mega phone has been selected for his big voice and his ability to reclte in an even. parrot-like way the announce ments. E. J. Sanford, president of the Union Depot company, says that he is convinced that this method is quite the most satisfactory that has been de- vfsed. He has announced his decision to the effect that the man with meg aphone' is permanent ipstitution., .,sg

IN SUPERIOR COURT.
John n. Fruin Wants Damages From
 Old Partner.

The superior court, special term, opened here to-day with Judge George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport on the bench. Tte .ase taken up was John H. Fruin against Julius and Samuel Chotzianoff for S3,400 to recover on 4 mechanics lien.
 Fruin and one Abraham Levin were in partnership in the plumbing busi- ness, and they took a contract in the building at the Junction of Hill and North Main streets. There was dis agreement about the work and the price when the work was done and a mechanics lien was put on the build- ing. Levin, it seems, accepted sOme kind of a settlement which caused q dissolution of his partnership with Fruin. who is now trying to recover for his share of the work. After the hearing had been in progress some time Judge Wheeler suggested that an allegation of fraud be inserted in the complaint. McGrath and Cole ap- peared for the plaintiff and Root for the defense.

 It is said that Father Gopon, the leader of the uprising in Russia, was once in Connecticut when he was known as Rev Nicholas vasseIieff. Vasselieff was in charge of St Basi"s church, Ansonia, from 1896 to 1899. and for time supplied the Greek church at Bridgeport. He was under the bishop of Alaska, who has charge of the missions of the Greek church in the United States. Vasselieff left for Russia several years ago and his pa rishioners believe that Gopon is their former pastor. ..-
 Shortly after o'clock yesterday af- ternoOn the twO-story brick dwelling opposite the Dyer homestead near Col linsville was burning. A sleigh-load of volunteers immediately set out for the place which is about two miles above the village. The fire had made such progress that nothing could be done to save the house and 1t burned until only the walls were left standing. The house. which was owned by D. r. Dyer. was occupied by Steinislaus Ja- cubak and his wife and six children. They lost all their belongings and are nearly destitute.
 The death of Hannah Mary Bur stein. wife of Dr Burstein of New Ha- ven. which occurred at her home Mon- day afternoon. seems to have been caused indirectly by an assault made upon her and her husband in West Haven last summer. They were then living at the shore.

The horse reared. threw off the assailants and dashed down the road. Batfled in their at tempt at robbery, the men hurled q number of large stones after the car riage. One of these missiles struck Mrs Burstein On the head. making an ugly wound in which several stitches had to be taken.
