GOOD OYSTER SET
Late But Promising on the Natural
 Beds.

Bridgeport, Aug. 21.-A careful ex- animation of the great Bridgeport and Stratford natural oyster beds made this morning by Captain William A. Lewis state inspector shows what is a late but promising set.
 The clear shells are liberally sprink- led and all the shells caught up had evidences of what may be called at least good set, and under the con tinuance of favorable conditions, may develop into great set.
 The set is small, being nearly a month late, but it is healthy and strong looking for it's size and the workers on the natural beds may yet nave a good season late, and unpromising as 1t has been in the first part of the summer. Captain Lewis will make in vestlgation to the eastward at Milford, and in other places. Some places near New Haven report good set so far in shallow wate s, but the outside prospect is late and still in doubt

A Wild Metaphor.

The mixed metaphor has for years
been considered what is technically
known as a peach, but long ago an en-
bryo Henry Clay, a contestant for
Oratorical honors in the University Of
Michigan, sprung one so much more
rapid in the metaphor race than It's
rivals that it may be said to win in a
walk. Rising up on his tiptoes and
swelling out his chest like pouter
pigeon, the young orator exclaimed as
though he would his words might go
a-thundering down the ages, ''The star
of empire, tripping with light foot
steps across the Atlantic, poises on
her outspread pinions in the air and
then pitches and let us hope it may be
forever-her tent above the dome of
the capitol at washington"

Man Sent to State Asylum After
Shooting His Wife is Re.
leased on Parole
WAS IN HOSPITAL SIX MONTHS
Returned to Kenosha on Thursday but
May Not Be- Able to Get Recon.
Citation With the Wife He
Attempted to Stay

Jacob Gerbovitz, the man who is al
legged to have introduced the brain
storm to the Circuit Court of Kenosha
county, is a free man again and has
returned to the city to seek a reconci-
lation with his wife. Gerbovitz has
been in the Northern hospital for the
Insane at Oshkosh, since the latter
part of March, and he was paroled
from that institution on Oct. 4. The
notice of the parole reached the
County Judge on Thursday, and about
the same time Gerbovitz made his APP.
pearance in the city. The man when
he lett the State hospital had gone
to Chicago unattended, but it is
thought that he plans to make his
home in Kenosha
The return of Gerbovitz recalls one
Of the most sensational crimes COM
nitted IN Kenosha IN recent years.
Gerbovitz who was formerly employed
at the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey
Co. was arrested late in January of this
year on a charge of attempting to
murder his wife. Gerbovitz and his
wife had not lived happily together,
aud Mrs. Gerbovitz had started an &C
ton for divorce. The papers Ia the
suit had been served on Gerbovitz,
and he in a period of seemingly tenn
porary madness waited for the woman
near the Jeffery plant and fired two
shots at her. Neither of the shots
took effect. After firing at the wife,
Gerbovitz turned the revolver on him
self and fired bullet into his neck.
He was at the Kenosha hospital for
several weeks, but recovered from his
wounds and was tried on a charge of
shooting with attempt to kill his wife,
in the Circuit Court. When the case
was tried, the attorneys for Gerbovitz
insisted that he was not of sound
mind and the Judge took testimony Of
experts and held him sane and the
question was submitted to jury.
The jury found Gerbovitz insane
and the court committed him to the
state asylum at Winuebago. From
the time the accused man struck the
asylum he began to improve IN health
and the brain storms which had been
very frequent during the trial and
during his confinement at the county
jail soon subsidized. From that time
his condition had shown Improvement
and the officials at the asylum now
claim that he is entirely cured of his
malady.
The action for divorce which was
started by the wife of Gerbovitz just
before the shooting took place is still
pending il the Circuit Court, out no
action in regard to it has been taken
since the trial which resulted in the
commitment of Gerbovitz to the asy-
lum at Winnebago.

WORK STARTS AGAIN
R. R. Company Begins Work of
Laying Ties on West Main
Street This Morning
TO COMPLETE WORK ON TIME

The Kenosha Electric Railway Co.
has resumed the work of making the
extensions to the lines in Kenosha,
and it is claimed that the tracks will
go in on West Main street DIT once so
as not 10 interfere with the work Of
paving the street. Manager Russell
stated Thursday that full force Of
men would be at work by next Mon
day morning and that the completion
of the extensions would be pushed as
rapidly as possible. The contractors
for the Chicago and Milwaukee Rail
way Co., who are to have charge of
the work in Kenosha, have completed
the work on the through line as far as
they can go until the city of Milwau
kee completes a viaduct, and it is un-
derstood that large number of the
men vino have been working on the
lines to the north will be brought to
Kenosha. The contractors and the
company will not bring any teams to
Kenosha, as the horses and wagons
which were owned by the company
we're all sold at the completion of the
work to the north, and the company
will be forced to depend upon local
teamsters to do the work of excavat-
ing in Kenosha. AS the first tracks
excavations have been completed by
the Jones company, and one of the SUI
perintendents OF the railway company
has been working with the paving
contractors in an effort to get the
street ready for the laying of the
tracks. 1t is claimed that the tracks
on West Main street from South street
to Grand avenue can be put in very
rapidly and the work may be COM
p1eted by the first of November.
The managers of the railway COM
pany still insist that there will be no
reason to ask for an extension Of time
for the building Of the new lines and
that they will all be in and ready for
operation by the first day of January,
and possibly by the first of December.
It is certain, however, that the rail-
way company will not seek to do any
street paving this year. The iron
needed for the curves and crossings is
now all on the ground and most of the
rails needed are stacked up in the yards
of the Northwestern Railway com
pany and the cause for the delay in
completing the work is not apparent.
The company will complete the line
on West Main street first and cars may
be running to the depot within the
next thirty days. It is certain that
with the rapid approach of winter the
company will have little time to give
to streets not covered by the extension
ordinance and there is little reason to
believe that the announced plan to
lay line on Exchange street and on
other streets claimed under al old
franchise will be carried out. 1t is
certain that the company will have
its hands full to lay track enough to
hold the franchises it has without
going into any franchise fights.

Real Fish.

The talk around the table shifted to
fish and fishing, with the usual con-
sequences.
"Well, gentlemen" said the man who
was fortunate enough to tell the best
story, "the best days sport / ever had
was off the coast of southern Califor-
MIA. There were three of us in the
boat, each of us had three lines out,
and we simply couldn't pull them in
fast enough
''What kind of fish were bitingY'
asked en- indulgent listener.
81 don't know what the natives call
Them" said the fisherman, "but they
were big enough to be 1chthyosau-
ruses."
Maybe they were whales, Frank,
suggested an ironical member.
''Whalesr' exclaimed Frank, with a
look Of disdain. Whales indeed!
Why, man, we were batting with
whalesr-Life.

NO SIGN OF PEACE
Conference Between Managers of
Badger and Men Results in
No Compromise
MANAGERS KEEP FIRST PLAN

conference was held between the
workmen of the Badger Brass com
pany and the managers of the plant
at the Offices of the company on
Thursday with view of making some
settlement of the differences between
the employees and the managers, but
the company was firm in its stand for
an open shop and no compromise was
effected.
The committee represented the va
rious unions, and as had been an
nounced the officers of the company
declined TOT meet with the committee
as committee but met with the men
as employees, and it was stated to the
men that the only plan that the man
agement would consider would be for
the men to return to work under the
terms stated in their letter to the
employees. The compromise suggest
ed by the men was that. they return to
work on the same contract as they had
worked under during the past year,
but as this contract demanded the
recognition of the union the manag-
ers of the plant declined to consider
any compromise of this sort.
The company has announced that it
will pay the men the same scale of
wages as prevailed during the last
twelve months, but they insist on be-
ing free from any union dictation.
AS most of the men are not now in
the shop there is no possibility of
strike as if the men return to work
they will return with the understands
ing that the plant is to be an open
shop.
1t is claimed by the managers of the
plant that many of the old employees
have signed applica tons for their old
positions under the new arrangement.
About fifty men are now at work and
It IS said that part of them are union
aud part non-union men. The COM
pany at the time OF the shut down two
weeks ago was employing 298 nen,
and it is thought that by the first of
December this number of men will
again be employed.
The unions which were represented
at the plant have committees named
to treat with the managers, but there
IS little reason to believe that any
arrang ement will be made by which
the men will get back to work with
the union debating the method of
employing and discharging men.

turing an Old Woman Held for Trial
The Lake county grand jury in SEES
sion at Waukegan late Thursday
afternoon returned indictments
against the Zion City Parhamites,
charged with the killing of Mrs.
Greenhaulgh. Those indicted and
the charges against them were: Mr..
and Mrs. Harold Mitchell, held for
manslaughter, and bail fixed at SIS, 900.
Walter Greenhaulgh, Jennie Green
haulgh and Mrs. Louisa Schmidt we're
held as accessories after the fact
of manslaug IN bail of 81, 500 each.
1t is expected that friends Of the
accused at Zion City will be able to
furnish bail for them. The cases will
be called for trial at the term Of the
Circuit Court next month It is EVIL
dent that the evidence laid before the
grand jury was not as sensational as
that given out at the time of the
death Of the old woman, for had such
evidence been laid before grand Jury
it is pretty certain that the accused
would have been held on a more seri-
Gus charge.

WALLIG QUITS OFFICE
School Commissioners From the Eighth
Ward Sends in Resignation


Charles Wallig, who was elected to
represent the eighth ward on the
Board of Education at the last city
election, has forwarded his resigna-
ton to the secretary of the Board and
the same has been referred to the
common council for action. In his
resignation Wallig states that he is no
longer a resident of the ward. 1t will
now be up to the City Council either
to elect a successor to Wallig or to
call special election. 1t is said that
there will be a number of candidates
for the Office and several men are al
ready being groomed to make the
race. Should the election be at the
hands of the Council, it is certain that
the successor to Mr.. Wallig will be a
Democrat as the Democrats have a
firm hold on the council.
1t is thought that new commits
sioner will be elected to represent the
ward before the next meeting of the
Board of Education.
