will be called for the third Monday in
the month, or April Is, and summons
will be issued at once to the men who

The first case which will be tried
before the new jury will be the dam
age suit of Fred Oesting VS.. the c., c.

to come up first.
Profit Trial March 10.
Mack Profit, colored, who shot and
killed Emma Davis. colored, about a
month ago, will be arraigned on March
10, charged with second degree muir
der. The evidence against Profit is
direct, and as he himself admits his
guilt, it will not take more than two
days for the jury to find against him
His will probably be life sentence
For the past few days his actions at
the jail have been very strange, and
the attendants think that he Is trying
to work the insanity dodge"
Chas. T. Hammond will have hear
ing on April %. Although the grand
Jury returned an indictment against
him in five counts, he will be prose
cuted on but one of them. and after
serving his sentence will be made to
answer for the others. He Is charg
ed with assault and battery, with Grim
inal intent. The prosecutor has been
visited by relatives of Pop Corn
Charley's" who request that Hammond
be allowed to plead guilty to plain as
sault and battery, but this will not be
done.
On April so. the suit of the Ramona
Oolitic Stone Co. VS.. Spear, on &C
count, will be up for trial. 1t will be
followed on May by the case of State

alleged that Medsker, who is well

of his refusal to accept the salary Of

Frank Neff. j. S. Zeller. Jesse S.
Reeves and H. w. Deuker, the SUBJ
committee Of the committee appoint
ed to investigate the ACCESSIBILITY of
selling the Municipal Light Plant, met
yesterday afternoon at the office of
the Municipal plant and discussed the
selection of an expert accountant who
will be secured to audit the books of
the plant. An offer was made to a To-
cal man and man residing in Indian
apolis, the names being Withheld.
Robert Ashe, of this city who super
intended the building of the Municipal
plant, was present at the meeting and
he offered his services to the commit
tee.
Mr.. Ashe is the man who clashed
with E. f. Witherby at the meeting
held by the Commercial Club last
Monday night and he is a staunch
municipal ownership man. He has
erected municipal plants in various
places and states that municipal own
ership is bound to prove success
wherever it is adopted.

Mr.. Ashe and then he intimated that
1T was no loss to the community. He
brands Witherby's arguments for the
sale Of the plant as false ones and
says that it is decidedly odd that the
l.. H. & p. people should be so anxious
to secure the plant If it was a losing
venture. You could sell that plant
for junk and realize so per cent of
your investment" said Mr.. Ashe.
Mr.. Ashe says the stories afioat that
the Municipal plant is not making
money are absurd. 1T costs the city
2k cents per k. W., including every
thing. charges of interest, deprecia.
ton. transmission. leases, etc., and the
city sells its lighting and power from
AS cnts to 10 cents per K. W. With
the business the plant now has this
means profit of about $50 200 or $24,-

IN TRAINING.
paigns In going through dull routine
of cut and dried work that often made
men ''stale" by the time the season
opened. The pitchers wo. do little
else than pitch, the catchers would
catch hoiirs at time. the fielders
would field. and the basemen would
pick up grounders and throw the ball
around the bases from morning till
noon or from noon till night. The play
ers developed into automatons who
could do one thing well SO long as their
interest and enthusiasm lasted.
The wise ball trainers of today put
variety above everything else in deal
ing with experienced players. While
the beginners must necessarily be put
through n regular routine so as to thor
oughly master their particular special
ty. the seasoned men are given as
many diversions as conditions permit.

work and play on a southern training

old and new training schemes will be

MITCH SMOKE AROSE

The fire laddies at the engine house on Ellsworth avenue had a sne Christmas. Investigation as to the volume of smoke in the engine house proved that there was no cause for an alarm. as the smoke came from the Christmas cigars which had been sent to the house by friends. Three boxes of cigars from Philip Fresenius. John Todd, of the GambleJDesmond Co.,, and Clarence Razie arrived and every one of the men got pocketfull. A basket of fruit from c. W, Whittlesey & Co., was among the other gifts and helped along the celebration.
 The men at No. 9's engine house were also remembered by their friends Christmas day and they feel very grateful for the gifts received, which included boxes of cigars from Philip Fresenius, John Todd of the Gamble- Desmond O., and Clarence Razine, and basket of fruit from c. w. Whittlesey
 No. S's men were also finely remen- bered as told in another column.

TO SUPREME COURT.

Appeal has been made to the supreme court of errors in the case of Charles H. Snow vs. the Coe Brass company of Ansonia, in which a decision was rem dered for the former party, the plain tiff awarding him damages of $2,214.S4
 This is the largest damage suit awarded this term in the superior court, and attracted much attention from legal mer.
 The point of law involved was both important and questionable, and revolv- ed about the questions as to whether or not Snow was trespasser, since he had been invited on the Brass com pany's property by an employe, and as to whether under the conditions he might collect damages for injury.
 Attorney Carl Mears represents Snow and villain H. Williams represents the defendant
