TO HEAR EVIDENCE.
Counsel in Leonard Case Agree Upbl
 Attorney Carmody.

By agreement between counsel, Attorney T. F. Carmody this after non was appointed by Judge F. M Peasley in the district court, a com mittee to hear the evidence in the case of Charles H. Leonard against the estate of the late Joseph Law renee. Leonard, represented by Attor- ney U. c. Church, sued the Lawrence estate for s200 for services rendered Lawrence during his last illness which terminated with his death on May 20, 1905. The estate was rep resented by Russell and Mayor Thoms. Leonard claimed that he at tended Lawrence almost constantly from February 1 to May 20.
 The supreme court has maintained the verdict In the suit of Mir Leon- ards wife, Elizabeth M. Leonard, against the same estate and on sub stantially the same grounds. She asked for damages of s4,000, but she claimed to have rendered services to the old man during a period of years.
 The jury awarded her damages of s1,000. The administrator on the estate, Louis Archambault. took an appeal to the surpeme court and to- day that tribunal gave its decision finding no error, thus maintaining the jury's verdict.

 Back to York Stale.

Middletown, N. Y., May 3.-Charles II. Rogers, who is charged with the murder of the two Olney brothers, aged prosperous farmers, here, and of Alice Ingerick who lived on the Olney farm, was brought here to-day. Rog- CTS was captured in Los Angeles, Cal, after chase which continued for more than year. The officer who brought him here today declared that Rogers has made complete confes- sion, saying that he committed the triple murder alone and that he alone is guilty. He secured SIG from his victims Rogers seemed to be in ex- ceptionally good spirits upon his ar rival here. He laughed and chatted with the officers who met him at the station and seemed quite willing to discuss the charge against him.
 The bodies of the Olney brothers were found in a wood lot near their farm, where they had been shot to death on October 6, 1906. The body of Alice Ingerick the young daughter of their housekeeper was found in the cellar of the Olney home where she had been killed by blow on the head with the top of butter jar.

WORK SUSPENDED
Labor Unions Got Into Row and Master Builders Ordered
 Work Stopped.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 3.-As a re- suit of a dispute among the labor tn ions representing the bricklayers, stone masons, and granite cutters Of this city work on many building op- erations was suspended to-day bs' an order of the master bricklayers, who last night decided to stop work until the unions can come to an agreement. About 4,400 workmen are affected, but if the suspension continues foI' more than a week about 3O,OOO men of other building trades will be forced into idleness.
 Neither wages nor hours are in- volved. The dispute concerns the lay ing of stone after it has been made ready by the granite cutters. The masons, reinforced by the bricklayers with whom they are affiliated, hold they should lay the stone while the granite cutters supported by the builders claim they should not only cut the store, but lay it <.

CITY NEWS.

American band prom, City hall, tomorrow evening.
 At the meeting of the Long Hill Improvement society last night 1t was voted to appeal to all the city officials and the senators and representatives to the general assembly to assist in getting the trolley company the fran chise to operate in Farm and Walnut streets.
 Morris Connor of 152 Baldwin street, an employe of the Benedict < Burnham Manufacturing company, had his left hand caught in the rollers yesterday and was removed to the Waterbury hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the in- jured member.
 A car jumped the track at Washing ton and Baldwin streets this after noon. For some reason or other this seems to be dangerous spot for trolley cars and if something is not done to keep them where they belong there will be serious accident at that point some day.
 The board of public works held a short session this afternoon before going out to Hamilton park to take part in the tree planting exercises by the senior class of the High school. and granted permission to the Waterbury Bill Posting Co to put up a sign on the dumping ground at Cedar and Meadow streets, on condition that 1t be removed at any time on five days notice.
 The new car sprinkler made its first trip over the trolley streets this afternoon and attracted almost as much attention as circus parade. It works like charm and while the expense is high it is the proper thing. The question of price will be ad- justed so that probably after all the cost to Waterbury will be none high CT than other municipalities pay. The car will keep the dust underfoot on the streets through which the troll ley cars run and the rest of the work will be done by carts.

WAS FOUND DEAD
We'll Known Citizen Stricken With Heart Disease in His
 Room in Hotel.
LIVED HERE 40 YEARS

Joseph W. Kindregan, age n years, for the past forty years resident of this town was found dead in his room, at The Chelsea this noon Medical Examiner Crane said death was due to heart disease. He was in good health until last evening though at times he was trotl- bled with heart disease. His physi- clan informed him several times that in all probability he would die sud- denly.
 Last evening he complained of feel ing i'll and retired about ! o'clock. At F o'clock he got out Of bed for a time as he was not sleeping well. He was not accustomed to rising early, so nothing was thought about 1t though generally he was down stairs before II o'clock. Consequently .o- day when he had not made an appear ance by noon and in view of the fact that MT Kindregan had not been well last evening, his door was tried, but no desponse came from within.
 S. F. Williams who of late looked after the mans interests, was notified and he went to the hotel during the noon hour. All efforts 10 get an an swer from the room were unsuccessful. so Mir Williams and tine proprietor, MT Bigelow, entered the mans room by means of a door which is seldom used and which leads from the parlor. Mir Kindregan was found dead and 1t seemed as though he had died in his sleep.
 The mans only relative, that is known of and the only one whom, he ever mentioned, is a Mrs Hull, who resides at 306 George street, New Ha- ven. She is distant relative.
 Kindregan appeared to be comfort ably fixed and though somewhat fee ble, enjoyed god health. His body was placed In charge of Undertaken Burrall.
 The deceased was native of New York, but came to Waterbury over forty years ago. to accept position as silversmith with the Rogers Eros Go, where he remained until he be- came too feeble to work. His wife died a short time ago. The family resided for years at TS Abbott av- enue, but some time ago they sold the place to MT Keeley Since the death of his wife MT Kindregan oc- cupied q room at the Chelsea.

HdH employers LnaL ne SnOulu po kept where he was.
 The cars are piling up every day, as the new men are still unable to take care of those coming in. The light cars are looked after first and very little success has been made with the cars which have heavy freight. The foreigners do not seem to get on with the work and 1t is still amusing to watch them labor ing. They absolutely refuse to do anything after 12 and 6 o'clock and one of the employees of the company said this morning they would not even close the car doors. They have to have men directing them for about everything they do, and ap- parently 1t will take several weeks before they will begin to know how to handle freight.
 There was a rumor afloat that the business men would take a hand in the situation and endeavor to bring the strike to close, but Ralph N. Blakeslee, president of the Business Mems association, when asked this morning if the organization intend ed to do anything about the matter, said that as far as he knew nothing was in the wind.
 The strike is still serious and those that had heard of the conference that was to be held between the checkers and MT White were hoping that the parties would come to an agreement.
 Though Agent White was wait ing to meet the checkers this after noon at the time appointed. all the checkers did not put in an appear. ance. At press hour the absent checkers were being sent for, for the purpose of endeavoring to reach an agreement before the day was over.
