WAS WEARY OF LIFE
Another Unfortunate Gave Way to Weaker Nature and Killed Himself.

! Emmerick Eichlnger, for some time past a tooimaker at the Water- bury Machine Co, killed himself yes- terday afternoon in the brushwood near Euclid avenue. The body was not discovered until three or four hours after the shooting, when q man on his way home from work stumbled upon 1t and gave the alarm. The 32- calibre revolver with which he com mitted the rash uct, was found cIutched in. his hand. On his breast, stuck to the skin was small likeness of his only child. Frances, a girl of six years old. He lived at I Wood street and had very pleasant home. Short ly before noon he complained of not feeling well and left the factory about 1 o'clock. People living near the spot where the body was found claim to have heard the report of pistol shot about 1 o'clock.
 The family took no particular mo- tice of his absence until evening when they commenced to grow uneasy, and to their horror later on learned that bis body was at the morgue.
 The man had mind trouble and imagined that everybody was trying to put straws in his path. He is re- ported to have said that he wa>tired of this sort of thing and that he was battling with n strong temptation to commit suicide. He had been with the Waterbury Machine Co but one week. Prior to that he had been em- ployed by the Scovill Mfg Co, where he remained two or three years. He was native of Hungary, and AS years of age. Acting Medical Exami- ner Anderson viewed the body and gave permission for burial.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Boys Heavily Fined Who Made
 Trouble for Their Neighbors.

William Tierney. IT, and Patrick Moylan, 16. were before Judge Peas ley to-day in the city court charged with breach of the peace. The com blaming witnesses were Thomas Keegan and his wife who live at 172 Dublin street. The Keegans testified that the boys with two others were on their property and making nui- sances of themselves. The boys said they were merely wrestling. They were each fined $10 and costs.
 A contractor named White owed Rocco Rinaldi $4 and last night Ri- naldi took a lantern off the pipe lay ing job on the north side of the green as security for the money, so Ri- naldi stated. The lantern was worth only 50 cents. Rinaldi was sentenced to thirty days in jail.
 William Jackson was charged with violating the probation law. Jackson seemed to have ideas of his own re- garding the probation law. Out of a fine and costs amounting to $17 he paid but $5. He will work out the balance in jail, though he was very anxious to pay up.
 Nicholas Bosso was another pro- bation law delinquent. On June z Bosso was fined $19.77 for carrying a loaded revolver cohcealed on his person. He did not pay cent of the fine, but he claimed to have paid a fellow countryman who could speak English. to pay the probation off, cer. Evidently the man kept the money. The case was continued to Tuesday to give the probation off, cer time to investigate.

CHILD STRUCK BY AUTO.
4 Years Old Lad, Frightened, Runs
 in Front of Machine.

New Britain, July 21.-George Ed mund, son of Henry Edmund of Plainville road, aged about 4 years, was run down by an automobile near Cornelius Andrewss place yesterday afternoon and was badly injured. The child's scalp was partly torn of and he was rendered unconscious for some time, but 1t is believed he will recover.
 The automobile was going towards Plainville. The boy and his brother, Harold Edmund, aged about years, had left home unknown to their mother. and started down the road to their father. who was working in the fields near Mir Andrews's place. As the automobile was about to pass by George became frightened and ran directly in front of if. The acci- dent was in 10 way the fault of the automobiles. The machine was brought to such an abrupt stop that It did not pass over the child. but struck him a glancing blow which tore open his scalp. He was picked up unconscious and placed in the ma chine. Ills father was hailed by the auto party and they brought the boy back to this city to Dr E. P. Swasey's ofice.
 Drs Swasey and Strusser worked over him for some time and sewed up the wounds. It was said to be about two hours before the child was able to be taken home. He was re- ported last night to be doing as we'll as could be expected. The owner of the machine said he was from Green wich. and 1t is understood he was on his way to his summer home in the Adirondacks- His name could not be learned. but he gave as a reference D. NJ. Rogers of this city. He did everything possible for the child and footed all the bills. Mir Rogers could not tell. who the man was who had used his name. He said he had a number of friends In Greenwich.

The New England fisheries are t,,,

as many people. While the United
states. with twice the population. reaps
a Jimmy harvest of only about the same

proximity of every portion Of these

areas OF the American States are hope

from enjoying sea fish as food save in

SELLING a DRIVING HoRsE:
The Trick of the Trade Is to Find the
Right Buyer.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
ITO successfully sell driving and car
rage horses requires higher abilities as q
salesman and better knowledge of human
nature than any other branch of COM
merce," is a statement volunteered by r
w. Allen of Kansas City.
1.-The value Of a fancy driving or car.
riage horse Is purely fictitious. A horse
that would not be worth 500 to one man
is worth several times that amount to an.
other. and the real measure Of value Ia
the anxiety OF one to purchase or the
other to sell. OF course, there are certain
types Of horses that have a fairly stable
value. But 1 am speaking about horsel
whose value is In their individuality. Many
people keep snowy equipages who know
nothing OF horses and nave no love for
.hem, and the prices they pay depend
largely upon how the animals coats shine
ana the amount and luster Of the brass
trimmings on the harness In which they
are shown. 1t would be money thrown
away to give such people a perfect ami.
NAL or team of them.
"And herein comes the discernment Of
the dealer. He may have horses which
TO these people will appear perfect, but
4 horseman would note their flaws. The
position, shape and size of the horses
ears all have a bearing OF its value, as
DO also the size and position of the eyes
"a SASHl curve OIL une nose or a coarse
muZzie deducts dollars from it's value
These and a hundred small points all ado
to or mar the worth of the animal, not
to speak of any of the more glazing de.
fects. 1t is the horseman's business to
determine before showing an animal just
what kind of a customer he has to deal
with.
IF he sells his perfect animals to those
who would be satisfied with an inferior
article he lessons his own chance for
profit, while if to the right person he
shows one of the poorer animals he for
feits the confidence of the buyer. l have
sold everything pretty nearly except gold
bricks, and they We're all easy in com,
parison with selling horses, but at that
there is q fascination about the sale OF
a horse that makes it hard for me to give
1t up after thirty-five years in the bust
ness"
