RATTLESNAKE STEAKS
 FOR GOTHAM EPICURES

Buffalo Y. T., Jan 24.-A farm of twenty acres near the Niagara Gorge has been purchased by Perry k. Hunt of New York city. who declares his in tentiOn to establish a rattlesnake ranch and raise reptiles for the New York re estaurant market. He says that there is a growing demand in the Manhattan cafes for the flesh of the rattler.
 Tt has been served in few places for some two years" he said. and the inrceasing demand justities me in mak- ing this venture. Naturally the supply is limited. and prices are very high. I hope to harvest not less than J.o0o rat tiers the first year. and will begin op- erations as soon as the snakes make their appearance in the spring"
 The locality of the farm is ideal for it's purpose From time immcm"ri- q, the vicinity of the Niagara gorge and whirlpool has been the haunt of the North American rattlesnake. the largest of it's kind. The rattlesnakes are good navigatOrs. and cross and re cross the river near its widest rapids.
 Hunt says the flesh of the rattle snake is not unlike that of q roasted suckling pig-whitc and exceedingly palatable.

ANOTHER INNING IN
 OAKVILLE TRESTLE CASE
Judge Roraback listening to Arguments of Opposing Counsel To.Day-City Wants Railroad Co. Brought ln-Sut of Charles A. Baldwin Against the City for $2,000 Begins To-Day.

Judge Roraback heard the arguments to-day in the hearing ordered to deter mine whether or not the New York, should be made party to the disputed case between the city and the trolley company regarding the expense of widening the highway at the Oakville trestle. John O'Neill and John P. Kel- logg represented the city. Judge Bur pee represented the trolley company, and Attorney Spock acted as counsel for the railroad. MT O'Neill went over the whole ground and co1ltended that it was matter in which the three par tleS nave common interest and that there was no reason why each should not bear a share of the cost incident to making such changes as will insure the safety of the public at that point after the trolley rails are laid there and cars are being operated thereon. He made out pretty strong case for the city and surprised some of the spectators at his familiarity with the details of the whole proceedings. Mir Spock didn't see any reason why the railroad company should be brought into the squabble and claimed that the statutes made no provision for any thing of the kind. After the tilt was over the court took the papers and will render his finding later. While it would be hard to tell what way it will turn out, the opinion appeared to be pretty general about the court house that ac- Cording to the arguments the railroad people will have to step in, whether they want to or not.

THE BALDWIN SHIT.

The suit of Charles X. Baldwin against the city for $2.OO0 damages was begun in the superior court this afternoon before Judge Roraback. Baldwin sues for injuries he received by falling down an area way on the sidewalk west of the old Scovill house. This area way was an entrance to the barroom of the hotel and was protected by two iron railings. One night in 1901 Baldwin claims he fell down the area way and that the place was unprotect- ed. In almost every respect it resem- bles the suit of Rooney vs Woolworth. Attorney Thoms appeared for the plain tiff and Attorney Kellogg for the city.
 The suit is brought on the decision in the case of Henry Makepeace against the city, which was tried some years ago. Mr Makepeace sustained injuries on Brewster street, and the city set Up defense that it was not liable because it had not accepted the street. The supreme court ruled that as long as it was a travelled highway the city was responsible. The point in Baldwins case is to prove that the thoroughfare between the Scovill house and the City hall was a public place at the time the accident occurred.

RUN HIM DOWN.
Policeman Ennis Injured by Speeding Autoists at
 New York.

New York, Jan 24-In attempting to capture an automobile party for over speeding, Bicycle Policeman Ennis, who wears a score of medals for bravery. has been seriously injured. He was deliberately run down by the autcists.
 Ennis sighted four men leaving Gen. tral park at 10th street in machine running forty miles. He rode a motor cycle and sent it along in the wake of the automobile. To his yells the four men seated in the car shrieked with laughter and hOwled in derisiOn at the policeman.
 Ennis was gaining slowly on the bis car when suddenly it came to a dead halt and began to back up. Into it Ennis crashed head-on. His machine was shattered and Ennis was whirled headlOng into the road, unconscious, bleeding from dozen deep wounds on head and face. In another instant the big machine was speeding away.
 X general police alarm was sent out, but the autoists. running at top speed, managed to re-enter Central park by q roundabout away and escaped.

THE NAUGATUCk.
The Question About Giving Away this Waterway Still
 in Many Minds,

Opposition to the application of the Naugatuck Valley Water Go for the right to corral the water of the Nauga- tuck river and it's tributaries is be coming more pronounced as the time for acting upon it draws near, and it is quite likely that when it comes up there will be people on hand who will not be bashful about telling the peti- tioners what they think of the project: It is understood that the bill is to be modified with d view to Warding off the attacks aimed at it by municlpali- ties. but whether the changes will dis arm the opposition is something no. body can tell until the new draft is made public. Nearly everybody about town is out against it, but none of them cares to say so in public, and in order that their protest may be made as er- tective as possible and yet keep In the background themselves, counsel has been retained and in this way both public and private interests are sure to receive fair measure of protection. II don't see what they are afraid off, said limb of the law to- day, but I declare to God, every soul I have talked with about this was all most as much worried about being suspected of being hostile to 1t as he was that the company's petition would be granted. No matter what walk of life man belongs in, he feels that he , is open to a backhand slap from the stockholders of the Naugatuck Water Co and actually trembles when one asks him if he has any objection to appearing against it at Hartford. I suppose every one of these good men knows his own business better than I can point it out to him, but when the time comes there will be one man on deck who will not be awed into si- lence through fear of anything the projectors of this scheme might like to do to him." The law committee is expected to submit report on the
 matter tonight at the meeting of the aldermen. This was asked for at the
 last session of the aldermen on motion of Mir Buck.

the people to violence. From a trust worthy source it Is learned that Fath- CT GOpOn sent letter to the social democrats in the following terms:
 FATHER GOPON'S LETTER.
 '''They have fired upon and massa- cred us, but we are not vanquished and the day of our triumph is nigh. Do not spoil our triumph by taking up arms and resorting to violence Con- tent yourselves with destroying the portraits of him who is no longer worthy to be our emperor
 This pacific admonition irritated the social democrats and does not meet who apparently are thirsting for ven geance and are clamoring for their leaders to distribute arms.
 The reyolutionists are also reported to be actively preparing bombs and internal machines to wreck the post and telegraph offices and destroy other government property. The revolution ists talk wildly of issuing manifesto declaring a provisional government. They seem to have broken completely with the Zff'stvoists. whom they treat with contempt on account of what they call their trucking to autocracy. Even Prince Trubetzkoi, who led the reformers of Moscow, is regarded by them with suspicion and even hatred because in an article pub, lished by the pravo he described the revolutionists as Port Arthur inside of Russia" which Russia would have to overthrow.
 NJ. Hessan, editor of the Pravo whose advanced liberal views are well known, has been arrested.
