WHO OWNS CHICKENS? !?
Chief Esan May Turn Them Over to
 Charities Department.

So far nobody has called to claim the rooster and half dozen nice hens which have been behind the bars at the police station since yesterday morning, when they were picked up on the street in n bag by one of the off cers. At first the birds took their confinement to heart and kept pretty quiet but later they got used to the place and at } o'clock this morning the rooster started growing and kept at it, much to- the annoyance of those who were trying to get nap in the cells nearby. If nobody calls today Chief Egam intends to turn them over 10 tho department of charities and if this happens it is likely that they will be sent to the Brooksidc home. The screcching of the rooster got Sergeant Pagan out of sorts last night and he felt like twisting. the head off the dis turber, but he cooled down this morn ing and said he didn't care how long they remained there after he found q couple of nice, fresh eggs in the cor ner of the cell Detective DOdds will submit the birds to the Bertillon sys- tenn of measurements some time to- day. thus enabling the authorities to identify them in the future, and after that they will be. taken care of by Stu perintcndent Doran of the town poor until the owner calls, unless the safe ty board makes up it's mind to add q henncry to the department, something which could be done at a very moder- ate outlay.

KILLED HER HUSBAND.
Hrs Edwards Has Practically Con.
 fessed Crime.

READING. Pa. Feb. ln.--Mrs Kat, Edwards, who is under sentence to be hanged with Samuel Greason on Thurs day next for the murder of her hus- band. made a statement to her counsel asst night, in which. it is said. she eX- onerates Greas0n from complicity in the murder. The statement will not be given to the public until it is presented to the board of pardons. but the infer- ence is left that she has admitted that she alone committed the crime
 Mrs. Edwards and GreasOn. who is a cOlored man. were convicted of the murder of Edwards. and since the death sentence has been pronounced extraordinary efforts have been made to save them from the gallows. The board of pardons has heretofore re- fused to interfere, and the state su- preme court has affirmed the lower courts verdict.
 Mrs. Edwards confession. it is thought, will place the case in an 'en- tireiy new aspect before the board of rardons. The hoard will meet at Har- fisburg Feb. 15. the day before the date fixed for tine double execution. If the wOman's statement is accepted by the board it may save the mans life. If tho woman is spared it will there fore be entirely on sentimental grounds. as strong pressure is being brought be- fore the board to not permit the wom- an to be hanged. In the trial much .es- timony was presented to show that Ed wards was dissolutc chaTactef. tRat he drank heavily and that he treated his wife in brutal manner. It was shown that Edwards was killed while he lay drunk at his home
 It is expected that the execution will at least be postponed in view of the statement of Mrs. Edwards. It is said Mrs. Edwards conscience has been troubling her since she has been re- cciving tho spiritual ministrations of her former pastor. Rev. Stephen SchweItzer: that she could restrain her self no longer and so sent for her law ycrs and made the statement. That she has not made statement before is. it is believed. due to the fact that she desired to shield her daughter Mary and that to spare the daughter sine shifted the blame to Greason.
 Mrs. Annie Kutz of this city also made an affidavit. in which she states that after Mary Edwards had been ac- quilted she informed her Mrs. Kutz, that her mother had struck her father on the head while he lay drunk. caus- ing his deSth: that she Mary was present at the time: that Greason was not ihere. and that her story in court about Greason was not true.

HRS. W00DlNC'S LAWN.
The Place Selected by Company for
 Digging Post Holes.

The operations of the American Tel ephone and Telegraph Co at Platts Mills have been stopped by an injunc- tlon which was issued yesterday af- ternoon by Judge Cowell Unless the difficulty is settled soon it will be tried out in the district court. Attorney C. G. Root represents the plaintiff in the matter, Mrs A. E. Woodng, and Sen ator Phelan represents the defendant, whose local agent is w. E. Crane, stoppirx at the Hotel Connecticut
 The defendant has for some time been buying, through Senator Phelan, right of way through Naugatuck, Union City and Platts Mills for its poles, as it contemplatcs connection between New York and Boston. Mir Crane claims he purchased from Mrs Woodiug il right of way through her land, but she claims he did not. NAc- cordins to the present status of the misunderstanding, she was willing that the company should plant it's poles in the rear of her premises. whereas, yesterday workmcn intended to dig holes among the shade trees on her lawn. She stopped them and later had the injunction issued.
 The manner of the company's pro ceedings is said to be very singular. The, agent gets or buys permission from the property owner to dig post holes on the property and afterward the owner is given q paper to sign and Invariably signs it. Then it appears from the paper the company was giv- en permission to dig holes wherever pleasing 10 the agent. If this is the situation in the present case, Attorney Root will undertake to see if the courts will support it.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O.-Dispntch, es Tom Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo say bat Rear Admiral Sissbee hss no- titied the Dominican authorities that if any harm is done to Lieutenant Com Inander. Jeipcr. the United States cruis- CT netroits executive officer who is in charge of the custom house at their port of Monte Cristi. they. would he held responsible for thc consequences He landed alone. without arms. and some persons threatened him.
 The authorities in Monte cristi pre- tend that they have received no in structions from the Dominican govern ment to hand oyer inc direction of the custom house. and some telegraph wires have been cut.
 Merchandise landed from the steamer Seminole has been placed in bond. As the Dominican authorities decline to permit Lieutenant Commander I.ciper to dispatch it to ifs destination. Rear Admiral Sigsbec also refuses to lct tho Dominican collector act. The people are threatening to take tho goods by force. Tho cruiser Newark kept scarchlight on the custom house last night and had boats ready to land blue jackets in case of any trouble.
 Many persons of unimporiant stard ing in Monte Cristi have signed q pro test against the protocol: but. generally speaking. if is accepted gladly by the rest of the country as being inc best arrangement for the settlement of tho claims and debts.
 Rear Admiral Sicsbec. commanding ihc Caribbean squadron. has not yet reported tho affair at Monte Crisii. but the state department was nnr surprised 10 learn that an cfforf had been made to take possession of the custom house st Monte Cristi
 IL is said in navy circles here that if it were desired to assume confrol of the port Commander Edward F. Lciper of the Detroit would bc just tho man to do tho work He was executive officer of tho Detroit while Commander Dil- lingham had fbst ship and was eu- gagged in regulating revolutions in San to Domingo.
