MEIGs 4 pEACEMAKER.
Urged Hill Street Families to Make
 Up Their Quarrel.

After city court this morning a little domestic drama was pulled off in the courts ante room by Prosecu- tor Meigs. For some time two fami- lies named Jesuli and Petrocino liv- ing on Hill street, have been living anything but friendly life and last week they got into the clutches of the law. Rather than try the case, Prosecutor Meigs determined to set tie 1t and he accepted $5 from each of the accused this morning. After court he took both families into the ante room, hoping to bring them to- gether in friendly relation. But no, they would not listen to such a thing. They looked daggers and buck saws at each other and would not touch each others hands. But the peace maker persisted and after a hard struggle, through an interpreter, of course, he succeeded in getting the head of each family to extend his hand toward the other. Their fingers merely tipped, while the other hand was outstretched behind, and closed, ready to attack if necessary. After another five minutes they shook hands, but did not look at all friend ly.

THE POLICE COURT.
Evidence Against Dr F. J. Callaghan
 Was Pretty Weak.

The continued case against Dr P. J. Callaghan for breach of the peace in entering the apartments of Mrs Eda Sossin, 65 Phoenix avenue and abusing her was heard before Judge Burpee to-day in the city court. Dr Callaghan was defended by Attorney Seery and he brought out that the doctor was not as black as he was
 painted by the testimony given by Mrs Sossin's nurse some ten. days ago. Mrs Sossin testified that her baby was only four days old and
 she was nursing it in her bed room
 when the doctor entered and de-
 handed that her husband pay him some rent he owed him. She said
 he shook his hat in her face and
 said that if her husband would not
 pay the rent he would have to go to jail. This scared her and the doctors manner alarmed her and she was taken sick and confined to her room. This evidence was cor roborated by the nurse, who had also
 been elected from one of the doctors s
 houses.
 The doctors side of the case was
 that he called to the house and ask ed the nurse who opened the door, if Mrs Sossin was in and being told
 she was he said he would like to speak to her. Whereupon the nurse escorted him to the kitchen. on the
 kitchen was a bedroom and there
 he saw Mrs Sossin sitting on a bed taking care of her child. He did not enter the room, nor was he within
 ten feet of the woman at any time.
 He merely informed her that her
 husband would have to pay the rent.
 The doctor then stated the medical view of the case, showing that Mrs Sossin must have vioated the most stringent rules governing good health or her baby must have been
 more than four days old at the time. Sentence was suspended.
 Mike Sarafinis was caught by Of
 ficer Mclean last night with a black
 jack in his pistol pocket. He was fined only s and costs as it was his first appearance in court.
 Severio Romanillo was putting up his horse in his barn fin the rear
 of Wards flats the other evening when he was srtuck on the head with
 stone. He had three boys arrested
 for 1t, John Devito, Giovanni Caruso
 and Paolo Bruno. Some one fired a
 shot but Romanillo knew not who
 fired it. His head was swathed fin
 bandages. The accused were each fined s10 and costs.

WIFE WANTS DIVORCE.
Douglas Was Old Time Member of
 Phoenix Hose Companv.

James Douglas, who was very well known in Waterbury ten years ago, has been sued for divorce by his wife Isabel. Desertion is the alle- gation. Douglas was one of the old time volunteer firemen of Phoenix Hose company and was one of the first of the paid firemen. At the time he left town he was stationed at the Burton street house and one day a rumor was started that a woman had been to the house to see him. One day a week, which is about ten or twelve years ago now, Douglas got a day off and that was the last seen of him in Waterbury. Everybody wondered where he had gone to or what had become of him because ev- erybody knew him, and about a month or so later news reached Wa terbury that he had gone to his dearly beloved Scotland, his native home. The Douglases were married in 1877 and have one child, boy, William B. Douglas.

FLAGSHIP IN PERIL
Cruiser Boston Badly Dam- aged on Peabody Rocks.
SEA FILLS SEVEN COMPARTMENTS.
Warship's Lifeboats Are Provisioned and Swung Out Ready For In- stant Use should Disaster
 Overtuke Her.

Overtake Her.
 BELLINGHAM, Wash, Sept 5.-The United States cruiser Boston went ashore at low tide in a fog on the rocks off Peabody islands. in the strait of Rosario, twenty-two miles from here
 The torpedo boat Paul Jones, on passing the stranded vessel, was sig naled by the Boston and an effort of an hour was made to pull her free. Finally the rising tide, which throws a strong eddy from the gulf of Georgia into the strait, forced the Paul Jones to leave the Boston to her fate and pro ceed to Bellingham without her.
 The Boston reached Bellingham un- der her own steam at o'clock, and a line of bluejackets with string of buckets worked in conjunction with the pumps to prevent the cruiser from going to the bottom. At late hour an effort to secure fire tugs with strong pumping capacity was being made. Seven compartments were flooded at this time, and the extent of the damage could not be determined.
 The officers of the crew of the Jones were at the service of their fellows on the cruiser. The men were at work all night keeping down the water.
 The Boston is the flagship of the Pa cific squadron. She is of 4,0OO tons displacement and carries 300 men.
 The Boston is now lying in deep wa ter in this harbor in order to give div CTS an opportunity to examine the hull. The vessel has taken in considerable water and has listed five degrees to port. Seven compartments are filled. All the lifeboats are provisioned and swung out ready for instant use.
 The ships diver, who is still at work. has found seam three feet in length which is admitting water, but has not discovered any holes in the hull. The vessel is believed to be badly wrench ed. Commander Coffman is awaiting tugs to tow the Boston to Bremerton.
