HOME FOR THE AGED
A. 0. H. of State Has Committee
 Looking Up West Hartford Home

The state board of the A. o. H. held an important meeting in Hart ford Wednesday and passed upon sev- eral matters of interest to the organ ization, the most important, perhaps, being the appointment of a commit tee consisting of President Philip J. Sullivan of Thompsonville, Vice-Pres- ident William F. May of Bridgeport and Secretary John J. Sheehan of Waterbury to confer with Right Rev Bishop Tierney regarding the matter of terms in the home at West Hart ford for aged men and women, the idea being to determine whether 1t would be cheaper to maintain menl- bers of the order there or build a place for them. This is in accordance with resolution passed at the last national convention, which left 1t at the discretion of the state boards to maintain their own dependents or join in and establish national insti- tuition. It is understood that the Ill., bernlans of this state almost to man prefer to deal with the bishop on this question, believing that if their mem- bers who have no homes of their own, and the number is not large, could be placed in St Mary's home, where they would have the good sisters to look after them, they would be about as we'll provided for and better, per haps, than they could be in any other way. It is hoped that the committee and the bishop will be able to agree on terms, and if so members of the A. o. H. in this state who have no one to see after them when they need a kindly hand. will be sure of all that could be desired in the way of spir- itual and temporal care.
 Another important matter was levy of 50 cents head on each mem- Der of the order for the benefit of aged sisters at St Mary's, East Hartford, which will amount to $5,- 900. This will be paid in two as- easements, one this year and another in 1907.

HORSE RAN AWAY.
Wheels Wedged in Car Tracks and
 Animal Became Frightened.


 A very exciting runaway occurred Oh East Main near Wall street yes terday afternoon. William Noonan, the ex-constable and James Downey were driving along Main street in one of Hank" Louck's turnouts. As the animal neared Wall street the wheels of the carriage became wedged in the car tracks and while endeavor- ing to pull the wagon out the horse became frightened. It took the fel- lows in the carriage unawares. and started off with gallop. It went crashing into grocery wagon, the property of the Cruess brothers. and next colided with farmers vehicle. going in the opposite direction. The horse continued on the run and as it passed Fitzpatrick's drug store swung the wagon onto the sidewalk, narrowly missing couple of children who were standing nearby.
 Meanwhile Noonan and DOwney were thrown out and the horse, it's load being made the lighter, proceed ed faster. It was captured near Well ton street. and what was left of the carriage was hardly noticeable It was completely demolished. Noonan and Down2y went to Fftzpatrick's drug store. where they were attended to by Dr McLarney. Noonan was found to be suffering from badly sprained ankle and had several pain full cuts. Downey's only injury was an abrasion on the side of the head.
 A little girl by the name of How ard. who was also hit by the carriage was carried to her home on William street, and although she suffered con siderably from shock. 1t is not thought that her injuries will result serious ly. ...

THE POLICE COURT.
Dishonest Employes Fined $6 and
 Costs for Stealing Coal.

Elmer McMullen and James Tur- ner, the latter colored, are employed by the Waterbury Lumber & Coal company as drivers. A few days ago they started of with two loads of coal for Mill Plains. The coal was in bags and at 480 East Main street Turner dropped in and asked Miss Brink If she would buy bag of coal. He would let her have 1t for thirty cents, he said. There was no bar gain in such a sale and the womisi told Turner 50. He said the coal was for a woman who was not at home and they did not care to take it back to the yard, so Miss Brink bought bag for thirty cents. When the rest of the coal got to its destina- tion the purchaser remarked it seemed short measure and he com plained at the office. This led to an inquiry and finally to the arrest of both men. In the city court to-day they were each charged with theft of 100 pounds of coal and were fined $5 and costs.
 Charles Bartz was arrested on the complaint of his wife, but as she could not mention any specific act of the i'll treaement she complained of the case was continued a week.

Master Harold, aged seven, went to the
door. On opening it he found a couple
evidently from the country, both
young and bashful.
After looking at the boy for mo-
ment the young man asked, "rs the
pastor at homer"
YES" said Harold. do you want
to get married."
That's just what we're here for"
replied the prospective bridegroom.
''We1l, come right in, then" said the
boy, ushering them into the parlor.
"11l tell papa, and mama, too. She'll
be awful glad to see you, for she gets
all the marriage money. I heard her
tell pa this morning that she hoped
some folks would come soon to get
married, cause she wants to buy a

gineer take the risk of q rear-e1d col
lision on a general managers order?
Oleson would obey orders if the heav-
ems fell; and Kent flew to the wire
again. Hunnicott, at CASTOR, was be-
sought to gain time in the hearing
by any and all means; and Loring was
asked to authorize the risk of a rear
end smash-up. He did it promptly.
The light engine was to go on until it
should ''pick up the delayed train be-
tween stations.
The Juniberg man gave Oleson his
release and the order to proceed with
due care while the sounder was still
clicking further communication from
headquarters. Loring was providing
for the last contingency by sending
Kent the authority to requisition No.
It's engine for the completion of the
run in case the track should be
blocked, with the freight engine free
beyond the obstruction.
Having his shackles striker off, the
Norwegian proceeded with due care"
| which is to say that he sent the eight
| wheeler darling down the line toward
Lesterville at the rate of a mile min
| ute. The mystery of the delay was
| the two stations. A broken flange had
| derailed three cars of the freight and
| the block was impossible.
| Armed with the general managers
mandatory wire, Kent ran forward to
! the engine of the freight train and
was shortly on his way again. But in
the 20-mile run to CASTOR more time
was lost by the numbering freight To-
comotive, and it was 20 minutes past
three o'clock when the county seat
came in sight and Kent began to oscil-
late between two sharp-pointed horns
| of cruel dilemma.
By dropping off at the street crossing
nearest the courthouse, he might still
be in time to get hearing with such
| documentary backing as he had been
able to secure at the capital. By going
on to the station he could pick up the
| Boston wire which, while it was not
strictly evidence, might create strong
presumption in his favor; but in this
case he would probably be too late to
use it, So he counted the rail-lengths,
count for his witlessness in failing to
have Loring repeat the Boston mes
sage to him during the long wait at
| Juniberg; and when the time for the
decision arrived he signaled the engi-
neer to slow down, jumped from the
step at the nearest crossing and has
tened up the street toward the court
house.

Convincing Argument Leads to

The father forgot his promise in a
second, and began to storm.
Haven't 1 told you wouldn't have
him about the house? Haven't for
hidden you to see him." he cried, eX-
citedly." Nov, once for all, tell you,
if he comes here again I'll kick him
out"
Now, father" she said, quietly,
you'll do nothing of the sort George
is young and healthy and the champion
sll-round athlete of his club, and we
had conference this morning, and I
told him I'd love him just the same
even if he had to pound you clean out
of shape in defending his rights in this
case; SO you might as well submit
now and save us the necessity of re-
sorting to harsh measures. See?"
