CORONER MIX REPORTS
 ENGINEER FISHER GUILTY

(Continued from First Page.) in his engine, Don't forget to take Hill siding
 I find that said Engineer Will Ed ward Fisher wholly neglected, disre- sarded or forgot his said orders to take Hill siding, and the warning of his conductor, and by so doing caused said collision.
 I find that at the time said collision occurred, said extra was running at rate of about forty miles an hour.
 find that during July, 1906, Hill sid ing was somewhat altetred and extend ed; but find that Engineer will Ed ward Fisher was perfectly familiar, aft CT said alteration and extension, with said Hill siding, it's location, switches, etc, he having made, since July, 1906, at which time said alterations and ex- tensions were made, forty-nine trips through or pass Hill siding. Also that on the early morning of January 5, 1907, at about 2:25 o'clock, he, under orders given him at the railroad telegraph of flee at Waterbury, ran upon said Hill siding to pass a train going north. I find that at the north entrance switch of Hill siding there was, at the time of the collision, signal light burning, to indicate said siding en- trance.
 find that Just previous to said col lision, Conductor Eaton of said extra train was in the passenger coach checking up his passengers, and before he had completed this work, and be- fore reaching the entrance to said Hill siding he noticed the speed and loca- 1 tion of his train, and believing that the engineer would not be able to stop his train at the north entrance of said Hill siding, immediately pulled the i whistle cord, which ran through said coach to said engine, to signal the en- gineer to stop his train, and, that get ting no answering signal from his en- gineer, he immediately endeavored to 1 get to the conductors valve located in the coach, and thus put on the air brakes and bring his train to stop. I therefore find that said Conductor Eaton did all he could and all that his duty required him to do, to avoid and prevent said collision.
 I find that by the omission, failure and neglect of said Engineer Will Ed ward Fisher, to obey his said orders, as herein detailed, said collision occurred, and that he is criminally responsible for the death of said William H. Nor ton, George W. Carpenter and Edward G. Erickson.
 In compliance with the statute, I have filed with the clerk of the superior court for New Haven county, my re-

ALIcE-sIT- BY -THE-FIRE.
John Barries New Comedy at the New
 Haven Theater Last Night.

John Barrie's New Comedy at the New
 Haven Theater Last Night.
 The presentation of J. M. Barrie's delightful and highly successful come dy, "Alice-Sit-by-the Fire with Mary Shaw, the talented American actress, in the title role, met with a hearty re- ception by cultured audience at the New Haven theater last night. The play, Miss Shaw, and her excellent and all arounl company of players were not only worthy of the liberal applause accorded them, but they were deserv- ing of much larger house than was present Miss Shaw's finished acting was a delightful treat to all who wit messed the performance, and those who were absent missed one of the dramatic treats of the season. Miss Virginia Kline as Amy Gray also gave a splen- did portrayal of the part allotted to her, as did also Miss Kate Guyon as Leonora Dunbar. The part of Colonel Gray was admirably taken by Fred erick w. Sydney and in Carlyle Moore the part of Stephen Rollo found an able exponent. The other members of the cast gave an equally good account of their abilities, and helped greatly in making anything that was weak about the play strong. In fact MT. Barrie's comedy, while well put to- gether, depends veery much on the work of the various members of the cast to make it shine and assure its success This Miss Shaw and her player folks fulfilled to the. letter by their finished and brilliant acting last night

 In reference to a new gown the let ter read T wonder how the freshman class will like Tang new spring dress" She finished that statement and then said she could not give her much of the village gossip because I haven't been about since that wild seance l had week ago."
 MT. Hull asked about the "wild seance," and Miss Degnan stated that 1t was not at all wild. She admitted that she meant the freshman class at Yale in the sentence referring to her dress. The letter also included the statement, Tt looks as if we were three dead sports,' and MT. Hull asked about the sentence and Miss Degnan explained it by saying that since her marriage Mrs. Norton would not go anywhere, and that therefore she felt as if they were dead.
 Meyer Eater, brother of the proprie- tor of Eaters drug store at College and George streets, and a clerk in the store was next called. He testified that Mrs. Norton had frequently been in the store, but had never drank anything intoxicating. She generally drank Moxie. He denied the carrying of beer into the drug store in pail and it be- ing drank there, as has been testified.
 Mrs. Norton was on the stand all the latter part of the afternoon giving her testimony which practically amounted to a general denial of all or most of the allegations brought against her. Regarding the charge af May she claimed that her chum, Miss Degnan, called for her with a hack accompan- jed by several Yale men. They pro- posed driving to the Tontine hotel. There one of the party proposed that they go to Lucey's cafe, where they could get a private dining room and have something to eat. She admitted two quarts of champagne was served and that she drank about two glasses,

GYRoSCoPE AS COMPASS.
Its Use in Steering Steel Vessels and
Warships

The mariners compass occasionally
fails of its purpose in these days of iron
ships and cargocs of a magnetic ma
ture. This especially is the case in war
ships, where the huge masses of iron and
steel IN guns and gun turrcts, etc. are
liable To affect the reading of the COM
pass.
1t is the usual practice to make all
possible corrections, but gun turrets have
TO be moved around. and the corrections
cannot always be trusted.
Again, the shock due TO the firing of
big guns is bad for the compass DR.
ii. Anschutz Kampfe has invented new
form If steering standard, dependent for
its operation upon the principle of the
gyroscope
This apparatus has been subjected to
exhaustive tests on a battleship, where
amid the firing of great guns. the move
ment of the turrets and such other dis
turbing influences as would effectually
have disposed of the ordinary compass
ii behaved with remarkable precision
and came out of the trials quite unin-
jured. The apparatus consists essen
tally of an electrically operated \Ryro-
scope carrying an indicating needle and
pivoted within an arc similar TO that of
the ordinary compass
The instrument does not necessarily
point north ana south. but it tends con-
tinualy to point in any direction in
which it is set, and thus to indicate any
change of direction of the ship. 1t is
not proposed to displace the mariners
compass by means of this instrument,
for its readings would tend to become
inaccurate after long periods of use with
out resetting Ey some standard. 1t vii!
serve as useful supplement to the com
pass.

Inventor Of the Boomerang.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle. One
might think that the highest laws of

convexity on one side. the fairness on
the other, and the sharp knifelke edge
on the inside of the convexity have the
air of having been carefully thought out
Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than five and are destitute of all the arts
and amenities of life Theirs Is perhaps

people have assumed that the boom
erang was the creation Of an older and
higher civilization. but for this there is
no evidence. Ii must be the product
of one age long empirical use of throw

BoNAPARTE AT IAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Plague Strick-
en-, Soldiers.


Prof Forgue of Montpelier in a recent
lecture on the respect that practitioners
should have for human life told the story
of Desgenettes, which, though well
known, is worth telling again as it is
told by Desgenettes himself.
When the French were about to
evacuate Jaffa the question arose what
was TO be done with the plague stricken
soldiers in the hospital. Desgenettes
says: Shortly before the raising of the
Siege-that is to say, on the 27th-Gen.
Bonaparte sent for me very early in the
morning to his tent, where he was alone
with his chief of the staff. After short
preamble as to our sanitary condition, he
said to me, If | were you ! should end
at once the sufferings of those stricken
with plague and should end the dangers
which they threaten US by giving them
opium
Il answered simply, My duty is to
preserve life Then the general de-
veloped his idea with the greatness cool
ness, saying that he was dvising for
others what in like circumstances he
would ask for himself.
He pointed out to me that he was.
before any one else, charged with the
conservation of the army, and cOnse-
quently it was his duty TO prevent our
abandoned sick from falling alive under
the scimiters of the Turks. 1 do not
seek, he went on, to overcome your
repugnance, but | believe | shall find
some who will better appreciate my in
tentions.' Desgenettes goes on to say
that opium was, as matter of fact, Civ
en- 10 some thirty patients.
1t happened, however, that certain
number rejected it by vomiting, were re-
heyed, got well and told what had hap
pened. The story has been told in vari-
Gus ways, and the fact of the poisoning
Of the sick soldiers has been accepted by
Che enemies of Napoleon and denied by
Ne defenders of his memory. Desgen-
cites narrative bears the stamp Of
truth.-British Medical Journal.
