 There Is more talk of another reso- llution by the aldermen ordering dogs | tied up. If such move as this should
 be deemed necessary it would be
 more humane to have every canine in town put to death at once. It is bad enough to put a dog on chain
 in warm weather, but it is far worse
 to confine him in the backyard when the thermometer. is below zero. The Palace Candy store at 134 South Main street, conducted by Pe- ter harlame. was closed this morn-
 ing by an attachment issued by At torney E. l.. Seery for claims aggre- gating about $1,0O0. The claimants
 are Peter Gambolus, Peter Selles and [ the Kibbe company of Hartford. In
 default of bond the place was closed by Constable James F. Lunny.

 An item in yesterdays police court news stated that one McGowan walked into Mrs Kate Clare's board ing house at 140 Scovill street and was preparing to retire in some one else's bed when he was arrested. Mrs Clare does not keep boarding house. but it Is her private residence, and McGowan was not trying to get into bed, but was caught in the hallway. He has broken in there several times and has been repeatedly threatened with arrest. This last attempt, Mrs Clare says, she could not overlook.
 Youngsters who go skating in the neighborhood of Pine hill tell hair lifting stories of the antics of wbat they term Black Hand man in that district and If half what they say be true the stranger is bound to do some harm before he leaves the place. Yes terday he chased an army of boys and girls and some of them had all they could do to keep out of his way. They say he looks about the same as any other white man, except that his hands are black. Instead of coat he wore sweater and was provided with rubber boots and a big fur cap.
