Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-12-07

Invariably the sympathy of the people goes out to a man on trial for a crime for which he is indirectly responsible, and this is true in the cases which have come before the eyes of the citizens of Waterbury the past couple of weeks. Although eS
 eryone wished Justice meted out tC the person or persons responsible for the wreck of the Grays' train back in March, almost nine out of every ten asked the past week wished that En- g.neeT Fisher would be found not guilty. Although the state has been trying to prove that Fisher was neg ligent, and many things point against him. nevertheless the people seem to think that he may have been neg ligent. but his intentions were good. The As You Like It man is no way endeavoring to take the blame from the shoulders of the engineer, but is simply explaining the way the people feel about it. Take the report of Coroner Makepeaoe in regard to the accident at the West Main street crossing. Although Mr Makepeaec finds that Conductor Dillon and Gateman Flavin were negligent, many already have voiced their sen timents which are to the effect that the accused are no more to bIsms than some higher up. And it is pret- ty safe to say that when the time for the trial comes around the greater part of the people wiIl want to see Dillon and FlzvIa found not guilty

CHAPTER XII.
EXPLANATIONS NEEDED.

At the festival a few evenings later
Ftnney persisted in pushing his offen-
sive attentions upon Floss. It was
public and she could not escape him.
AS gracious as he knew how, he in
vfted her to take an ice cream soda
with him. His too conscious exulta-
ton in their open association, which
he seemed to regard as a favor to
her, made her sulky, and her taciturn
attitude he construed as a generous
modesty toward himself
While they drank the soda with a.
silver spoon Finney unguardedly re-
marked:
II don't believe in ghosts, nor in
signs, nor in anything like that. I
couldn't believe if a watch stopped
suddenly it meant anything"
The girl stared at him in amaze
| ment. It was plain why he spoke Of
the watch. He had heard. It was
| then he who was on the veranda the
other evening.
II don't either, but do believe in
eavesdroppers."
| For all she perceived in his unre-
sponsive face, sharp as her eyes were,
she might not have said this. It Is
more than likely that he failed to
''catch on" He believed he had been
too careful and too cute for anyone to
| detect him in such a matter.
Il swow to goodness can't see how
a ghost can walk-1 don't indeed
She really thought his broad smile
was idiotic, and his nose, "slightly
disfigured but still in the ring" only
increased his silly look.
'It's not ghosts that walk-it's flesh
and blood Of the meanest kind" she
said stolidly, arising and moving
: away.
Going? T."
please excuse mel see a FRIEND u
and she hurried away, leaving him
alone. She sometimes imagined he
was too stupid to wonder. But he was
not-he was in fact what is some
times called in everyday language
Slick"
In moment afterward she met
Mel, and while they promenaded about
she took particular delight to pass
Finney whenever she could. She told
Mel the remark F1nney had casually
dropped, and he declared II was but
an added proof Of what he already
knew.
/ Afterward Floss told the sharp
cared Josie Marion the incident of the
football on the veranda and the re-
mark Finney had made when taking
an ice cream soda with him, and said:
'Tm sure It was him. f. %z.T

aroused a suspicion in Mel. What
could any one be there for? The shut
tiers were closed and the blinds down,
but the windows were up, and their

outside. Who was It? Might it be

the hall to the veranda. Nothing was
to be seen anywhere in the darkness.
All at once the incident Of his watch
stopping and the hint of the yard
master that something or other
| would happen flashed through his
| mind. He returned to the parlor, re-
ported that he saw nothing, and then
| deliberately related the incident OF the
| watch to Floss.
"On. on with the dance! Let Joy be
| unconf1ned.
It was but the wind or some cart
rafting DER the stony street," she
quoted blunderingly and laughed till
the echoes returned from the walls
Her gay manner and lightsomeness
disposed Mel somewhat to distrust the
fact that he had heard any uncertain
sound at all on the veranda.
| IF you say so, I'll deny that I eve,
heard noise out there at ALL" he said
in high spirit.
II say So" quickly Floss returned.
| "Then I never heard anything" he
said in great good humor.

undertone.
! Nothing more sure"
| Can you account for it?'
"Evesdropper," Floss almost whis-
pered.
| Quick as flash Mel rushed out
again, and this time with better sue
cess. He indistinctly saw a dark form
hurriedly pass through the open gate
and disappear under the dense trees
that lined the street. It was useless tc
follow, for the fellow had the start OF
| him.
| But who was it, and what did he
want? It was no good he was after
of that Mel was certain.

discovery.

He'd stoop-yes, he'd stoop to any,

If this was F1nney, he's done what

That's Finney-for you.' She was

COLIN. WON FUTURlIY
 LID BY TWO LENGTHS
And His Owner, James R. keene Picked Up Better Than $27,000.

New York. Aug. 31.-James R. Keene's unbeaten two-year-old colt. Colin. son of Great Commander won the Futurity stakes at Sheepshead Bay today. He was 1 to the favorite over any other of the seven entered. It was the smallest field that ever went to the post in a futurity in twenty years racing. but this fact detracted little from the performance. Knocked back at the start, the six furlong dash was badly shut off just before the elbow chute was reached.
 Colin led the field by two lengths at the finish and established a new rec ord for the race of 1:111a. By his vic tory Colin added s27,53O to the enor- nous sums won this year by the horses of the Keene stables. Owing to the limited field the futurity was the smallest ever contested for. amounting in gross to a fraction more than s35.OG0 against the high value. s77000 in 1890.
 Bar None. an Asturtium colt belong ing to Henry Payne. was second in driving the finish. Chapultepec from the stable Of Fred Barley was third. Bar None was the second choice in the betting and ran a splendid race. He was driven all through the stretch. first in the effort to overhaul Chap ultepec the early pace maker, then in the vain endeavor to head off Colin. It was an ideal day for racing and 5000 people crowded the grandstand and green stretches of lawn from the club house paddock to the enclosure. There were few in the immense crowd who

THE PEACE CONVENTION
 IS MAKING PROGRESS
Germany ReCOnsiders Her Refusal to Ap-
 prove Schedule of Gases.
An American Article Adopted Over the Protest of Italy---The CZars Attitude.The Question of the Collection of Debts By Force.

The Hague. Aug. 31.-Germany has reconsidered her refusal to accept any list of cases which the powers shall submit to arbitration and is now will ling to approve a limited schedule for obligatory arbitration. This unexpect- ed change in the attitude of Germany was announced by Baron yon Bieber- stein. head of the German delegation this afternoon to a committee appoint ed to examine the American proposi- tion on the subject. The Baron how ever, said that he was waiting definite instructions from Berlin before sub mitting to the committee a list of cases approved by the authorities of the German capital, consequently debate on the subject was adjourned until Sept. 3rd.
 In the course of the discussion, Count Terneilli, chief of the delega- tion from Italy. announced his oppo- sition to the article introduced by the American delegation, providing the later adhesion to the convention shall be subject to ratification of the docu- ment by the United States senate. The Nouht NohttHucu lIldl Nnllc Olncr nd- tions would be bound by the terms of the convention, the United States could always escape any obligation by the senate at Washington withholding it's approval. M. Renault of France, defended the American proposition, pointing out that several other coun- tries are in the same position as the United States. The article was even tually approved by large majority.
 In answer to the inquiry of Presi- dent MeildOff, for authority. St Pe- torsburg cabled that though Emperor Nicholas on the occasion of the last conference offered to give up the prerogative of calling and organizing the peace conference, which was not accepted, he says he will not repeat the same offer, but that the Russian delegation Is to support any proposi- tion concerning the meetings of the conference on the lines of the Ameri-

It mentions further the construction of the Granite Reef dam designed to serve both sides of the river and says that until these rights are settled the United States cannot tell who is entitled to water and has no means of knowing how to distrib- ute 1t equitably. It Is further recited that the government has no interest in the matter except as to the Indian lands and as a distributor of the stored water.

Eleven Cases in San Francisco Since
 June But Conditions We'll in Hand.

San Francisco. Aug. 31.-The sensa tional stories of the prevalence of bu- bonic plague in San Francisco are without foundation. The exact situa- ton is this:
 Since June. when the disease first made its appearance. eleven cases have come to light and nine deaths have re- suited. The board of health is unani- nous in its decision to assume no pre- ventable risk and early took the sit uation in hand and with cooperative board of supervisors and the marine hospital service, has adopted vigorous measures to keep the disease from spreading and stamp it out. The city has been districted and physicians. in- spectors. bacteriologists and disinfect- ors' helpers have been systematically assigned.
 The city and county hospitals, where most of the eleven patients have been treated. are quarantined and have been under thorough fumigation for a week. even the grounds being disinfected. This work is under the supervision of Warden Dr. O'Neil and Assistant Sur geons Long and Stanfield of the ma rine hospital service. all three expe- rienced men. The city is buying tents from the government and an isolation camp is being prepared. There is no scare. The public is aware that the disease Is peculiar to all maritimS cit ies incorporate climates and has made its appearance here but thus far no cause for alarm has developed. The authorities. municipal and federal. are satisfied that the prompt measures of protection and eradication they are taking will be effective and the situa- ton is well in hand
