FOUR LEGGED CHICKEN
Bethlehem Farmer Brought the
 Curiosity 10 Town To-Day.

Ward Halloway of Bethlehem drove
 into town to-day with quite curios- ity confined in a cage in the rear end of his wagon. At first sight it
 appeared nothing more than a com
 mon every day Plymouth Rock roos- ter, about eight or nine months old, but upon closer inspection it dit- fered somewhat from other birds of that breed of fowl inasmuch as 1t was provided with four full grown legs and feet. The owner asked $25 for the bird and there was q scramble among some of the mer-
 chants about town to get it even at that figure. After a good deal of wrangling it finally went to E. L. Hellmann of Grand street. AL though the chicken has four legs it never uses more than two at the same time except when it gets bad scare and then it goes on all fours and every limb appears to be full of ami
 nation. When about the yard it holds two of the legs under it's wings
 with the claws sticking out alongside the tail, giving it the appearance of convalescent managing to see how he could get around without his
 crutches and yet having them on hand to use in case of emergency.
 These spare limbs look just the same
 as the others do and once in while
 when the chicken is on the roost or
 feels tired out on one set it drops the
 additional props under it and hoists
 the others up. It has resorted to
 this way of doing business oftener
 since the frosty weather set in than
 ever before, lifting one set of feet
 and rolling them up in the feathers
 according as they got cold and mak-
 ing the others propel it about for
 time
 Mir Halloway has no explanation to
 offer for the presence of the four
 legs. The bird came out with sev- eral others and was few weeks old
 before the strange freak of nature was noticed. No particular care was
 taken of it and as consequence it
 got all the exercise it wanted and in this way it acquired the habit of
 using it's feet with the agility of a
 ballet dancer. It is quite curiosity and many thought the farmer made a serious mistake in exchanging it
 for such a modest price, some claim ing that the right kind of man would make fortune out of it travelling from one town to another. But Mr Halloway isn't in the show business and probably was glad to exchange it for quarter of hundred.

HELD UNDER $s,oOo
Louis Zsppone Will Be Held For
 lhe Superior Court.

Charged with criminally assaulting Lucia Zappone, IS, his promised sis ter-in-law, Guilo Volda of Mattatuck street was bound over to the superior court this morning on bail of $3.- 900. Miss Zappone, who is remark ably large for her age, stated that she did not know the accused in the old country. She has been in this country about year and last sum- mer Volda began paying attention to her eldest sister. As for herself, she had no particular knowledge of the young man. Beyond seeing him in the house when he called to see her sister she knew nothing about him. Last Sunday evening he induced her to go walking with him and then the alleged assault took place. pr An derson furnished the medical testi- mony required.
 The complaint in the case was made by the girls mother, last Mon- day morning, and since then detec- tives have been on the lookout for the young fellow.
 Last evening Detective Colesanto spied him in the west side and pro- ceeded to take him into custody Short and weak looking as Volda seems, he put up quite tussle with the officer and undertook to shoot him. He was armed with a loaded revolver and was drawing this wea- pon when the officer handed him one that dazed him and deprived him of his gun.

THE POLICE COURT,
Sale of a Horse Brought Men Before
 the Court,

sale or a Horse Brought Men Before
 the Court.
 Joseph Neiman bought horse for SIP at an auction week ago. He sold it to Benjamin Bodine for SIS the day after, representing it to Bodine as the incarnation of all that was noble in equine blood. Bodine got stuck. The horse felt like lying down every minute in the day and had no inclination for work. This jared Bodine.
 Yesterday the men met and Bodine wanted to return the horse and get back his SIS. But Neiman was not in that kind of a mood and the con- sequence was a fight. The men were hard at it on Spring street when Officer Mclean came along and took both into custody. In court to-day they were charged with breach of the peace, and while sentence was suspended in the case of Bodine, q fine of $5 and costs was imposed on Neiman. Neiman's overcoat was torn, but Bodine said 1t was time it was, as he has been wearing it thirty years.
 George Spring, who is conspicuous among the. police for his fealty to the uniform of the old soldier, though his right to wear it is questionable, was up" charged with intoxication. He had the uniform on under an overcoat and he promised to be good He was let off with a fine of s5 and costs.

LABOR BUREAU.
Commissioner Scoville to Issue This
 Year a Bulletin.

ear a Bulletln.
 The board of control has author ized the printing of bulletin" by Labor Commissioner W. H. Scoville to take the place of the usual annual report issued by the bureau of labor statistics.
 The bureau is one of those de- partments of the state government specifically referred to in the act passed at the last session of the gen. eral assembly for the printing of bi- ennial reports. Under this law the labor commissioner had no power 10 print the annual report of his depart ment for this year. The bureau had already collected statistics for publi- cation in the report and if the print ing of them had been postponed for year they would have been stale and of no service to the public. Con- missioner Scoville presented the facts to the board of control and asked permission to issue a printed bulletin" instead of a regular re- port. The board. after considering the matter, acceded to the request of MT Scoville and gave permission Ger the printing of $500 copies of a bulletin. The volume may coL- tain ITS pages.
 The bulletin" will not be as bulky as the annual report. A num- Der of subjects. and many of them quite important, too, will be con densed to the smallest possible space consistent with cIeaTness and intelli- gence. A number of tables of figures which, heretofore. have been pub 1ished. will be omitted. But it is not expected that the bulletin" will be of less interest than an annual re- port The average persons wko peruse it may be thankful that he is saved the trouble of wading through columns of figures. The chances are that the bulletin" will be. for prae- tical purposes. more serviceable than an annual report It is seldom. if ever. an of5ciaI report loses in i'm portance because of it's being con- densed- Very often reports are made. for practical purposes, entirety useless by prolixitv-

What man so weak, confessing he

And smiled each time more 6ondly
