not squeal until after Preston had told his story.
 Mir Russell drew the jury's attention to numerous discrepancies in the story told by Cenesky to the coroner and how 1t differed from the story he told in court. The evidence of Cenesky and Leonard was uncorroborated, it came from polluted sources and was backed up by none but his father and mother and their boarder, Mrs Lusas, and Bantler. the saloon keeper The small boy Ziff was liar and Atwood was mistaken. Leonard did the whole thing. He told a different story to the coroner last spring from what he told in court. He told the coroner they came to Waterbury from Bridgeport in the train. He said in his evidence they got to Ansonia by trolley and from there to Waterbury by train. His memory was fresher then than now. Mir Russell then spoke about Bassett's attitude on the stand and attributed it to the serious situation he was in. He spoke for an hour and a half.

PLUMBERS QUARREL.
Charles Dillon Struck on the Head by
 Piece of Pipe.

NV VI Ilpc
 Yesterday in the factory of NJ. ]. Daly & Sons, who keep a plumbing and steam-fitting establishment on Bank street. a very serious fight took place. resulting over the quarrel of a couple of employees. The men mixed up in the affair were Charles Dillon and George Albee. It seems that there has been bad blood between the two for some time and that they have had several mix-ups before this.
 Yesterday the two went to work as usual, bur before long trouble started to brew and the result of it was that Dillon was almost put out of business by a blow on the head from a big piece of pipe in the hands of Albee. The pipe hit Dillon on the side of the head and was delivered with 90 much force that it is feared that Dillon's skull Is injured. The blow also tore open part of the vic tim's face. He was carried to the of fee of Dr Russell. where his injuries were dressed. n is said that at the time that Dillon received the blow he was walking away from Alhee and the blow came from the rear.
 A warrant was to be issued for AL bees arrest. but there was no need of it as he walked Into the station and gave himself up. AS there was no complaint entered against him he was accordingly discharged from GUS folfr.

Coss Eyed Angels.

Near the village Of Monterey. Mass,
In the heart Of the BerkShires, on a
knoll peculiarly well fashioned by ma
ture for its uses, IS = burying ground
Of the Revolutionary period which pos
sesses more than ordinary interest by
reason of its we'll preserved headstones.
These headstones were cut from q ma,
tive stone which has endured the ele-
ments so we'll for more than a hun
dred years that the inscriptions are
now almost as easily read as they were
when the stones were set in position
a striking popularity IS found in the
carvings on the headstones, apparent
" all the work of one sculptor, who
had a specialtytin the creation Of cross
eyed angels. Almost every one Of the
old headstones is ornamented at the
top with the head of an angel, and
each angel face is unmistakably and
painfully cross eyed This characters
tic has led some guests near the bury
ing ground to call it the cemetery Of
cross eyed angels. New York Trib-

Car Nicholas I. used to walk the

in large gray cloak. 1t was forbid

Once the car met in park the

moment the czar was out Of sight the

happened and sent an aid-de-camp to

Cooking Eish In. Clay.

''The natives of the north woods
have more appetizing ways to cook
fish than any other class Of cooks in
the world, T believe" said Tomah
man.
The universal favorite, however,
seems to be the clay method. The fish
is wrapped in the clay without having
so much as a scale ruft1ed by the
cleaning knife He is not dressed, and
the only seasoning Is pinch Of salt
placed in the mouth. When the fish is
done up in the clay the package Is
placed in the embers Of the campfire
to bake. When it is done the clay is
cracked open, and the scales Of the
fish are found to be sticking in the
clay, and the head is then broken off.
The delicate flavor Of fish cooked in
this way cannot be described. Some of
the cooks have habit Of cutting Q
long cash along each side Of the dorsal:
fin and inserting q slice Of fat bacon.
This adds greatly to the favor Of the

The Word MLondon.o

What is the derivation Of the word
London" The usually accepted one
is the Celtic "Llyn-Din,' or lake city,
referring to the historical fact that the
city was built on river that over
flowed at full tide and half surrounded
It. Other philolosists have derived it
from "llawn" fulD and "dyn" man),
others again from "lon" IA plain and
dun" "a hiiD. But the derivation Lun-
Den, Or grove city," seems more prob
able than most Of these. The name
occurs in wooded parts Of Scandinavia
to this day.
