PLANS FOR SEWERAGE.
ESTIMATED COST IS S10.000


 Partial System Will be Taken at Ad
 journed Meeting Saturday, Septem-
 Der 22-Report of Committee Unan-
 imously Adopted.
 The adjourned meeting of the Canaan fire district was held at Town Hall Saturday afternoon and was attended by about 50 persons.
 The committee to whom was referred the question of the installation of a sewerage system reported that Civil En- gineer W. W. Burghardt of Canaan has made the preliminary survey which, with the plans accompanying it, was re- ferred by Mir. Burghardt to Charles Fer ry, of New Haven, MT. Ferry being the engineer who had directly in charge the engineering problems for the city of New Haven and is a recognized authority in the construction of sewers. MT. Burg hardt also employed the assistance of A. NJ. Turner of this town in consultation.
 The committee attached to this re- port the proposed plan for q sewage line throughout the village, and the sewage terminal near the Blackberry River near the Central New England Rail road, believing this to be the most feas- ible plan for the purposes required.
 Mir. Ferry heartily approved of this sys- tenn, and said that it was as nearly per feet as it would be possible to find in any village of this size.
 The plan contemplates the building of a trunk line sewer extending from a point at the northern line of the land of Dr. H. L. Ross through the bed of the small stream to ,a point beyond the tracks of the Central New England Railway Company; thence following the highway to point opposite Barlow street, so-called, following the line of Barlow Street past the barn upon MT. Barlow's premises; then extending un- der the tracks of the Central New Eng land Railway to- the land belonging to Frederick Gillette, upon which land it is proposed to erect a septic tank. It is feasible at such later period as the dis trict may desire to connect the entire fire district by further laterals with this trunk line. The trunk line proposed will be $500 feet in length, and the en- gineers recommend that this be built of 10 inch pipe. The laterals at present to be installed will be $500 feet in length; the sewer pipe to be used here as recom- mended will be inches in diameter.
 The estimated cost of the complete in- stallation of this system is as follows:

In response TO O Hypothetical situation
placed before him by the grand jury of
New York county, Judge O'sulliyan Of
the General Sessions Court clearly defined
the crime Of those officials Of the great
insurance companies who. year after year,
took money from the treasures OF the
companies-money belonging to the stock
holders and policyholders-and con-
tributed it to the campaign funds Of the
Republican National Committee. The
offence, in law, is larceny
"Any person who appropnates money
not his own TO the use Of any other per-
son than the owner thereof, said Judge
O'sulIvan, "is, under our laws, guilty
Of larceny" This application covers
every appropriation Of money from the
treasures Of these great insurance COM
panies TO the treasury Of the Republican
National Committee, and makes the act,
in each instance, one of larceny, for
which the perpetrator is liable under
the law to indictment and prosecution,
and, upon conviction, 70 punishment.
So much for those who committed the
crime Of taking this money. Now, how
about those who received it j.? There is
maxim in law that the receiver is as
guilty as the thief" Certainly there are
laws, probably in every State Of the
Union, which make the receiver Of stolen
goods guilty Of a misdemeanor.
During the campaign Of 1904 the Re
publican National Committee received
from each Of three Of the great insurance
concerns Of New York City a contribution
Of $4,000, and also received similar con-
tributions from other corporations Ac-
cording to Judge o O'Sullivan, the officials
who made these contributions are guilty
Of larceny. And are not Chairman Cor
telyou and his colleagues of the Repub-
lican National Committee particeps crimi-
mis- Surely they arc, as willing receivers
Of stolen money.
And where does President Roosevelt
come in ? His election was aided by ths
expenditure Of the committees 3 funds
including this money which a learned
judge says was stolen President Roose
welt, therefore, was beneficiary Of tho
crime, 10 say the least.

Our attention has been called TO a
wrong and misleading whether accidental
or intentional we are not prepared to say
statement in the report Of the anti
bribery meeting at Dover, on Wednes-
day, as printed in yesterdays Morning
News.
This report, referring 10 the resolution
adopted by the meeting, requesting the
governor 20 appoint voters assistants
unless, in the opinion Of the Judiciary,
IL becomes his bounden duty under the
law TO do so, reads as follows: 1.-THE con-
vention passed this resolution, introduced
by the Democratic conferees, and at first
thought unwise by the Republican con-
ferees, because il might appear that the
convention was assuming to tell the
governor Of the State what he ought
TO do"
Tho manifest intent Of this inaccurate
statement would be to make it appear
that the question Of voters assistants
led to a sort Of partisan division Of the
meeting, between Democrats and Repub-
licans. But there was not the slightest
suggestion Of such division. Il is true
that the resolution was introduced by a
Democrat, but Il was adopted by the
unanimous vote Of the gathering
There was a division Of sentiment with
respect to the wording Of tho resolution
but it was not a partisan one. AS origi-
nally introduced, the resolution. after
citing the venality OF the average voters
assistant, simply requested the governor
not to appoint them. The question wa.
raised that difference of opinion pre-
vailed as to whether or not It was the
duty of the governor, under the law, tc
appoint voters assistants, whereupon tn,
resolution was modified by making
reference to the governor securing thu
advice Of the judiciary. And this modif
cation was proposed by a Democrat
There was no question whatever of thu
netting assuming to "tell the governo
what he ought to do.

New York City's experiment in run

Collie Dog Evidently Had His Own
Conception Of Duty.
A story of a Scotch collie is cur
rent on the Derbyshire border, says
an English exchange. A farmer in
the Peak district, having purchased
a small flock Of sheep in the Low
lands, drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby
shire with the aid of a collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you set to your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman,
"let the dog fill his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshire
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep, and was SO pleased with
the collie dog and it's performance
that he decided to Keep it a few days
before sending it back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning in the
evening he found that the Scotch col
lie was missing, and also the flock of
sheep. In a few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back
with him.

HICKS FOR JANUARY.

The regular storm period central
on the l4th will be ia its greatest
sway aud severity from the l4th to
the 18th. The existing cold will
moderate, beginning in the west
about the l4th, and storms of rain
sleet and snow will develop rapidly
and wide storm areas will pass east
wardly across the country from the
10Th to the 18th. The passage Of the
Moon across the celestial equator on
the 18th viii keep the temperature
UP generally, possibly causing winter
thunder and Tightening on aud touch
ing that date; but sudden aud ex.
treme cold will break in from the
northwest, bringing a blizzard and
cold wave as the period winds up.
A reaetiorasy storm period will cen
ter on the 18th, Goth aud Dist. At
this time a moderate reaction to
higher temperature, with return Of
falling barometer, cloudiness aud
more rain aud snow will be the order.
The maximum tendency to settled,
mid winter cold will be natural
through all this part OF January,
hence the storm period will relax the
natural cold only emo Ugh to allow
precipitation, mostly IN the form Of
snow aud sleet. Severe cold will i'm
mediately follow 10 the wake Of this
reactionary period, lasting Though
the 2lst, 22nd, and 23rd. A regular
storm period covers the 23rd to the
18th, with new moon on the 24th As
we enter this period a change TO
warmer will set in toward the western
the country. The barometer
will fall, cloudiuess will gather aud
thicken into storms OF rain ia the
south and snow To the northward.
These storms will begin in western
sections as early as the 9th, aud dur
ing the 25th, 10Th, and 9th they will
pass, with widening areas and grow
Ing intensity, eastwardly across the
country. On the 9th the Moon will
be new, or in conjugation with Earth

and Sun and from about that date on
through Thursday, Friday, Saturday

meter, easterly to southerly winds
and rain; second, rain turning 10

and winds shifting to westerly and
