Acute Stage.

TRIAL MY LIST \ NH
Exh, JuTvH WsIs Excussd UlM |
 Week Ffen 1ussd,y.

As the extra jurors on the superior panel have been excused until week from next Tuesday. 1t Is evident that the state oficials expect the trial of Joseph Errico for the murder of Pas quale Traflcanti in Naugatuck on September 19, will last all next week. Rocco Traficanti. brother of the murdered man, was the dramatic wit ness of yesterday. He seemed to b the genuine Italian, excitable and emotionable. full of gestures and ex- clamations. 90 much that at times tho witness stand seemed too small to accommodate him. He admitted hav- ing been armed on the night of tho shooting. but denied taking his re- yolyer out of his pocket only in self defense. He had had but little of the Italian wine which seemed to have been the cause of the shooting. He was willing to make up with accused after the trouble at the NardellO home in Little Italy" but Errico rs. fused to even shake hands with him. Rocco Sabia, who was also killed, had had trouble with Louis Mancini and witness and Errico parted them. Soon after that the shooting began and witness ran to where the sounds came from and saw PasQuale, his brother, stretched on the ground. Er- rico was standing near by on stone wall looking toward witness. Witt ness, believing his life was in dan ger, took out his revolver and blazed away at Errico. Errico was not hit by the first shot, but it seems that before he had time to return the fire witness blazed away at him again. Traf1canti stated that Nardello fired five shots at the accused and two Of them took effect.
 James Spadola, the final witness of the day. testified his age is 21 years. The defense objected to what this witness had to say, but it was ruled in after the court had heard it. He testified that after the shooting Pas quale Tratlcanti came to his mothers home and stretched himself on a sofa. He was bleeding and could hardly speak. In low voice he asked Spa dola to come over to him and kiss him. Let me feel you hand, Jim- mic, said the man. for am dying" Spadola went over and kissed him and asked who fired the shots at him and Pasquale murmured:
 Joe Errico did it and yet never harmed him."
 An hour. or two later Pasquale was taken to the home of his brother-in- law. Sabia Troiano. and there he again said to Spadola:
 Kiss me, for the last time. for I am going to die. My cousin shot me and am dying"
 Before adjourning the jury was given the usual warning by the court against discussing the case with out siders and if possible to refrain iron, reading the newspaper accounts of 1t.

PET FOX TERRIER DIED.
Family Will Not Take Chances With
 Cat Which the Animal Bit.

Although the dogs of the town have been tied up since October I, some of them are still dying of ra- bies, the last one reported being . handsome fox terrier belonging to Westley N. Hallock of Clifton ayel nue. The pet died yesterday after suffering for several days with what Is known as dumb rabies. Before it was confined it bit the family cat and in order not to take any chances with the feline MT Hallock put her out of the way. and the only thing worrying him now is fearing that the terrier may have nipped another dog which he owns and chummed with the one that had the disease. Until quite re- gently the order to tie up dogs until December l was prettily generally observed. but lately many are begin- ming to forget about 1t and as a con- quence a few CUTS can be seen at large now and then. unmuxxled. col larless and apparently without any, body in charge of them.

PARKWAY was invited to speak in pub

wife. If she succeeded in starting him

with his notes In his hand, part of her

One evening her husband was one Of
seven distinguished professional men
who were to speak before a scientific

Of the country.
His speech was clear that night, free
from the abSent-minded murmurs
which sometimes interspersed his dis
course, and as he seated himself Mrs.
PARKWAY felt that he had fully earned
the burst of applause then her
cheeks crimsOned.

CAREER OF THE TEXAS.

WarshiD Completed in 1898 Looked
Upon as n EHOOdoO."
The battle ship Texas, the "hoodoo
boat" of the American navy, has been
placed on the retired list, says the Au-
gusta Herald. She has been sent to
the navy yard at Charleston, S. c., to
serve there as a station ship, and I'M
less war should break out, which would
necessitate the bringing into service Of
every available vessel, her active days
are past.
The Texas Is not old. She was COM
pleted in 1895, but was never a good
steamer, though she consumed tremen-
dous quantities of coal, and i'll luck so
persistently attended her that she came
to be regarded as "hoodooed."
Once in her career the fatal spell de-
parted from her, during the battle off
Santiago de Cuba. Her noble behavior
during that struggle under command Of
Capt. Jack Philip is fresh In memory.
But the hopes to which that momen-
tary reinvigoration gave. rise were
shortly after shattered and she resum-
ed her wOnted course Of awry action.
When she was out for her first trial,
one Of her propeller blades cut into q
passing schooner and sunk it. Placed
on a dry dock for the first time, she
could not bear the strain Of her own
weight, and had to be overhauled at
great expense. Later, she ran ashore
in Norfolk harbor. In 1896, while she
was lying in the Brooklyn navy yard
one of her seacocks became unfastened
and she sank. In February, Of 1897
she went ashore at the TOrtugas, and In
December Of the same year in the Wal
labout channel. In November of 1902,
while she was at target practice, her
big guns broke the recoils and wrecked
the surroundings works. That was her
last accident, but there is no telling
what more would have happened to her
if she had been required for somewhat
active service.
1t is altogether likely that her hoo
doc days as we'll as her active days are
over. Her 6-inch guns have already
been taken from her, and her turret
guns will be taken as soon as use can
be found for them. She will remain
quietly at her dock until at some time
in the future she will Join other for
gotten vessels in the naval graveyard.
