OFFICIALS PUMMEL EACH OTHER
Selectman and Treasurer Gave Exhi-
 bition on Public Green.

Middletown, April 21.--A hearing in Cromwell Thursday afternoon be- fore Justice Hubbard over $50 or der which was signed by two of the selectmen and paid to James Caffrey on May 31, 1904, stirred up so much hard feeling that right after the hearing bunch of citizens hastened out on the green and proceeded to pummel each other within plain sight of the historic old boulder erected in memory of the forefathers of the town. The principals in the dlsgraceful happening were ex-Town Treasurer Arthur H. Boardman and ex-Selectman George s. Butler. But Ter told the ex-treasurer he was a liar, 1t is said. Boardman is of gi- gantic stature and weighs about 300 pounds, and he landed on Butler the moment the words issued from Buffers lips. Some of the bystand- CTS went to the rescue of the ex- selectman and others then pitched on to help .Boardman.
 Tn minute or so there was quite a mix-up of arms and legs. The melee created a big din which reached the ears of Constable Baisden, who was dozing in the postoffice lobby. He hur- ried to the scene and interposed his bulk and finally restored order. There IS not likely to be peace in Cromwell for some years, however.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.
John F. ScannelI's Case Against
 Naugatuck Board of Education.

The injunction proceedings oi John F. Scannell against the board of education of Naugatuck was once more set down for trial in the district court. According to this arrange ment it will be heard Monday. but the probability is that something will turn up to prevent it. as some thing always has done to the previous assignments. Attorney Kennedy. counsel with Attorney O'Neill for the school principal, requested that the case be heard by Judge Cowell. as he has heard other features of the dis pute. but Judge Peasley sided with Attorney Root. counsel for the de- fense, that if the matter is to be heard on it's merits any judge cal hear it. So he decided to hear it himself Monday.
 There was nothing important on the short calendar The city was given judgment for s11.72 taxes against A. B. Anastatio-

TAKING OXYGEN FROM AIR.
Interesting Experiments Witnessed
 by French Savants.

Interesting Experiments Witnessed
 by French Savants.
 Consul Brunot of St Etinne writes that a group of savants of the Aca- demie des Sciences, Paris, very re- gently paid visit to factory at Boulogne-sur-Seine to witness the manufacture for industrial purposes of enormous quantities of oxygen and nitrogen. extracted in a liquid state from the atmosphere air. The consul says:
 Georges Claude. the inventor of the'.interestinge process, furnished the explanations As the liquid flowed out from the generator it was of d. bluish hue, while the nitrogen was col orless. Several experiments were made for the visitors to prove the inn portance of having an abundant sup ply of oxygen at ones disposal: forge set up in the grounds showed the wonderful effects of the gas The fire which had almost died out, was immediately rendered incandescent by a current of hydroxide from the blow-pipe. A bar of iron was brought to red heat and then melted like lead. Two pieces of iron were welded in few minutes by the aid of powerful flame from the blow-pipe. Much costly and tedious riveting will be no longer necessary: iron will be welded against iron. copper against copper. etc. The doctors already fore see the possible treatment with liquid air of certain affections of microbian origin. such as osteomyelitis. anthrax and the malignant disease of the skin termed lupus. us."-Washington Post.

ROBBING GAS METERS.
United Gas Improvement Co Was the
 Loser in This Deal.

The United Gas Improvement Co has of late been very much annoyed by petty thieving from slot meters. The depredations were mostly con- fined to the north end and especially Vine street. Quite a number of me- ters of this kind were broken into and their silver contents removed.
 Yesterday meter in house on Vine street was found to have been burglarized and $1.50 in quarters taken. Investigation resulted in the apprehension of three or four very small boys who seemed to think it the greatest fun in the world to break open the gas meters and rob them. It was like breaking open their toy banks at home only with this difference, that the meters al- ways had more money and it was all ways white money. As some care has been taken to keep the matter quiet it is unknown how long the boys had this illegal snap. Only the name of one of them, Thomas Grant, was disclosed, though Agent Will Hams and MT McReynolds and their counsel, Attorney Bronson, were quite conspicuous in the city court room this morning. As Grant was committed to the state school for boys, it seems the company is willing to let the matter rest at that. A court official remarked that it was like retribution on the meters to rob them.

MARTEAU CONCERT.
Celebrated Violinist, Soprano and Pi.
 anist Will Give Entertainment.

Tn the concert to be given at Polis tneater on Monday evening, April 30, py Henrl Marteau, the great French Mollnist, assisted by Miss Freida .Sten- der, soprano; and Miss Emma Show CTS, pianist; Mir Marteau will play by request for his opening number the beautiful Kreutzer Sonata by Beetho- ven, one of the most remarkab ble pieces 0f music ever written an one that nas been treated as subject in literatura and in painting, as well. The pro. gram as a whole promises such a musical treat as lovers of the art in this city and vicinity will not want to miss.
 The Waterbury concert will he tha closing one of Marteau's successful tour of many of the large cities of tne country and among the enthusias. tic press notices which have been ac- corded him everywhere, the following may be quoted from the Cincinnati Post of March A:
 Marteau plays with superb confi- dence, with absolute precision in n technical way and with the ease and grace that one might expect from an artist of the French school. Es. pecially noteworthy is the exquisite purity of his tone in many passages, the highest register singing out above the subdued strains of the orchestra With wonderful sustaining power, Marteau is an artist who has fulfilled every promise of his earlier years, is now in his mature powers and doubt less has still greater artistic triumphs before him. Half dozen vigorous encores were responded to by the ar. tist with two Pach numbers, played entirely without accompaniment, and the remarkab lepurity of his tone was again very qAvident.Y
