Missing Express Agent Comes tc
 Town All Broke Up.

Frederick Kingsbury of 1251 East Main street, the trolley express agent who has been missing from his home in this city since last Monday, return ed last evening. Kingsbury is in pretty bad shape, both mentally and physically, and will undoubtedly have to take long rest before he can go to work again. Kingsbury came in on the o'clock train and was immediately taken to his home Because of the absence of the family physician, Dr A. A. Crane, Dr Good enough was summoned and found that Kingsbury was in a very weak condition. Kingsbury has not much to say about his absence from the city nor does he give any reason for his going. At times he appears as though he were all right but evil dently needs an extended vacation. At his home 1t is stated that his books are all right while the officials of the company have nothing to say on the matter.

ONE MORE BERTH

 Waiting Patiently.

Republicans expect there will be q few more places to be had for the weary and restless in their party be- fore the year expires. They expect for one thing, that Judge Platt of the United States district court will cre- ate an office of referee in bankruptcy for Waterbury, and the district may include all the territory now embraced in the limits of the jurisdiction of the district court. The other office is deputy county health officer. And, of course, the appointments shall 80 to republicans. The republicans are so hard up for solid men in their party, for snappy intelligence and men capable of brain work without the at tending storms, they are making big bids for outsiders to get in.
 It is reported that competition has been created in the decrepit repub- lican club to bring in recruits. The member who brings In the largest number at the end of certain period, 1t is said, is to be exempt from dues for the ensuing year.
 There are going to be pink teas and watermelon parties in the next few months to brace up the club, and Rep resentative Hayes is down for an ini- tation of dancing dervish, while At torney Church is to tell story on Making Both Ends Meet.' The pre- sumption Is that the lends" are the two or three different classes of members in the club and the point is to Illus trate how the $20 a year member meets the $2 year fellow.
 Meanwhile, 1t is said. every effort will be made to induce Judge Platt to believe that 1t is absolutely necessary to create the office of referee for Wa terbury, and thus another out-of-job republican will be given a berth.

KNIFE IN BREAST
Row on Park Avenue Ended in
 Stabbing Aifray.

Saverio Romaniello of 1O7 North Vine street was stabbed this morning about 10 o'clock on Park avenue by a fellow countryman, John Sylvester of Meadow street The victim received the knife thrust on the right breast, q wound being caused that necessitated twelve stitches. Sylvester escaped, but the police are after him. Slyves- ter IS an odds on favorite
 Romaniello is employed by vincenzo Jamele, the Brooklyn baker. It ap- pears that for the past year he has been leaving bread in Slyyester's house, but as the latter has refused to pay of late, Ramaniello refused to allow him more foodstuff. Sylvester repeatedly asked Romaniello to con- tinue to call at his home. but the lat ter would not consider 1t.
 This morning Sylvester was appar- ently waiting on Park avenue for Ro- naniello. who is accustomed to pass there daily on his route. The men had some words then Sylvester pull- ed out a knife and sent 1t almost into the heart of his so-called enemy. The assaulter immediately fled.
 Romaniello, who was knocked down by the blow, made heroic effort to capture his assailant. Getting on his feet he picked up couple of stones, and with the blood streaming down his shirt. hastened in pursuit. but he soon dropped from loss of blood, and he was picked up on Park street. He was carried to the home of a friend at 105 Park avenue, where he was attended by Dr Lally.
 The stabbing caused intense excite ment in the vicinity and a number of people rushed from their houses at- tracted by the cries of murder" Officer Halpin arrived on the spot shortly after the stabbing and was joined by Lieut. Dodds. They pro cured the names of several witnesses of the stabbing. who eWcently made no effort to catch Sylvester.
 Romaniello apparently has q large amount of sand and did not seem to be worried greatly by rne cutting. When asked if the wound was serious he replied smilingly. "No, just get two fingers in It." It took five stitches on the inside and seven on the outside to close it up. As stated before, the po- lice are on the trail of the man who swung the knife.

The work of women has never been acknowledged at its full value either in the industrial. social or political world. The opinion still survives among men that women are foreor. dained for service, that theirs is not work to be acknowledged and repaid, but a sort of divinely imposed duty.
