CONTRACT LABOR
W0Tkwen Will Get Up Petition
 For Protection.

Some of the workmen about town are talking of presenting a petition to the board of aldermen asking that steps be taken at the next session of the general assembly to do away with the contract labor clause in the charter. | From now until next spring, they claim more than half the working ! people of this town will be out of work and yet during thac period the city will pay out thousands of dol lars to men from Boston and other places who will be employed at the sewage disposal plant. This is a long time to wait for relief, but if it comes even then. This feeling is shared, too, by citieZns who are not looking to the city for anything, but take the ground that if Waterbury is paying out large sums for men and teams while its own people are idle it is time that it was looked into and something done to bring about diff ferent condition of affairs. To say the least about it. it looks strange to have the city employing common la
 borers and hiring teams from men who live as far away as Boston, while our own people have horses eating their heads off in stables and drivers who look to that kind of work for a living walking the streets. It is hard to think that this is so. but there can be no doubt about it. It makes one wish that we had few Fred Rices living to-day, but It seems that all such men have passed over to the silent majority and as con- sequence the man who settles down here and tries to establish home for himself and his family, appears to be getting lost in the shuflle. Mir Rice was q member of the committee on additional water supply and when he heard that a lot of wOrkmen from other towns were employed laying the big main from the reservoir to Wa terhury while residents of the town were idle, he became furious and promptly gave orders that every one of the strangers be discharged and the work given to "Our own people," The motion was carried too, and then as well as now heads of departments have a way of getting around things so that the real intent of the resolu- tiOn was not carried out.
 If the shops conducted business on the same plan as the city does, resident and taxpayer wouldn't be allowed inside their gates, but they don't. On the contrary they invar- iably give local labor the preference The public wants things done that way. too, but the public has very little. if anything at all. with the method of transacting business in this town. and no doubt that is the reason why there is no appreciation of local labor on some of the boards.

\ Carnegie Medal

must be something that makes per son feel very Droud Of course we don't understand why. Because it's only medal, it won't give you an appetite, it won't increase your pock- etbook, it won't give you good health, it won't help you to live any longer. Well, we understand Andy c. presents medals to heroes who risk their lives tO save the life of fellow being. Well, that's just what Officer John C&vanaugh did, and if Andy c. was looking on we think he'd think so, ton; but Officer John doesn't need Carnegie medal; be- sides it looks as though you must have a "pull' @ get it, and they are getting things down so fine noW-a- days that you can't get anything
 (even a tooth eXtracted) without a ''pull." But ii a Carnegie medal would show -'OlI the right road to good fishing pOHd, or if it would he any assistance tO running in a half dozen or more rabbits in a night. or something of that kind, Officer John would get the medal all right, all right, And say, if Andy C. offered one of his medals to the mer
 chant who sells the best tea and cOf
 fee in New FDgland, we venture to say he wouldn't send if to us. But there would be no earthly reason why we shoultn't get it, because we sell the very best quality to be had for the price you pay, and if yOu doubt us just call on us next time you want the nice tasting quality. You mention the price and leave the rest to

Buffalo N Y, April 1S.-United
States Attorney Bass today received
a letter from Attorney General Bona
parte, at Washington, in reference to
the bequest OF the late Capt. James FL
Hooker of Irondequoit, near Roches-
ter, to the United States of practically
all his property, valued at about $780,
600. Capt Hooker directed that his
farm of 1873 acres, near Galesburg, ILL.,,
be given TO the government for a ma
tional park, and that the other property
be sold and the proceeds applied to the
erection OF military academy in the
park. Hooker left no immediate rel
atives, but there are dozens of neph-
ews and neces who. it is said, will con-
test the will on the ground that the
testator was of unsound mind. The
government, however, is not going to
give up the bequest without q contest,
and the letter from Bonaparte to Bass
directed the latter to use his efforts to
sustain the will

L. Boland. Vests punishment was

l.. Boland. Vests punishment was
fixed yesterday afternoon, at imprison-
ment for life.
The verdict gives general satisfac-
ton here, as the murder of Boland the
day before election last fall excited
universal horror in this vicinity. The
circumstances were particularly afro
cious. Boland and West were friends
and neighbors and no men'in the coun-
ty were more intimate.
West dubbed the other to death and
then buried the remains in culvert.
He maintained his innocence hruout.
but admitted that he had quarreled
with Boland. Owing to the excitement
OF the election which followed close
on the heels of the murder, the case
has been largely forgotten in parts of
Iowa remote from the scene of the
crime.

BATTLE OF THE JURORS.
Only Eight Ballots Taken = Few
Changes From First Votes.

Only Eight Ballots Taken = Few
Changes From First Votes.
New York, April 13.-The story of the
proceedings in the Thaw jury room as
they are learned far outrank in inter-
est the brief court proceedings which
brought the famous trial to close. 1t
developed that the jury had considered
everything connected with the case ex-
cept the unwritten law" Basing their
judgment entirely upon the evidence,
they-voted either for or against murder
in the first degree when they cast their
ballots.
The first vote was to in favor Of
conviction. Then the jury tried to reach
common ground upon a verdict of
manslaughter in the first degree, the
punishment for which ranges to a
maximum .of twenty years inprison-
ment.
The men in favor Of acquittal -
largely on the ground of insanity,
would not change their ballots and in
the end won over to their side one Of
the eight who favored conviction.
During the nearly forty-eight hours
of deliberation only eight ballots were
cast. The jury spent the two night
sessions doing in their chairs.
The entire story of what tram
spired in the jury room from the
time the twelve men retired at SLY
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon until
they finally decided that the prospects
of verdict were too remote to war;
rant longer discussion OF the facts, was
told by one of the jurors, Henry c.
Harney, No. s. manufacturer of pie
amos. The final ballot, taken just be-
fore the jury reported it's disagreement
in court, was as follows:
For conviction of murder in the first
degree-Deming B. Smith, foreman;
George Pfaff, Charles H. Fecke, Harry
c.. Brearley, Charles d. Newton, JOS
eph B. Bolton, Bernard Gerstman.
For acquittal on the ground of in
sanity-Oscar A. Pink, Henry G. Har-
ney. Malcolm S. Fraser Wilbur F..
Steele, John S. Beneen.
Mr.. Bolton is the juror whose wife
died during the trial while the jury
was being kept under lock and key.
Juror Harvey said:
"About ten minutes after we reached
the Jury. room we took the first ball
lof and it resulted in a vote of s for
conviction of murder in the first degree
and for absolute acquittal. The men
who voted for conviction We're: Smith,
foreman; Pfaff, Fecke, Brearley, De-
neen. Bolton. Newton and Gerstman.

Justice Fitzgerald had determined to
let them fight it out among them
selves until they should call for as
sistance. This appeal came at 4:l5
O'Clock and then followed hunt for
counsel both District Attorney Jerome
and the attorneys for the defendant
having temporarily left the building.
When they arrived, Justice Fitzger-
aid notified them of the jury's COM
munication that disagreement seemed
INEVITABLE. Everyone connected with
the case seemed willing to accept the
situation as offering no hope, and then
followed the brief court room proceed
ings at which the disagreement was
publicly announced, the jury dismissed
and the prisoner remanded. Entering
the court room at 4:25 p. m, the jury
was free eight minutes later

lowing statement:

To his attorneys Thaw said he was
deeply disappointed.

suspected as the origin Of the fire
which destroyed four frame store build
ings here on the east side of the pub
lie square, Thursday night. The build
ings were of small value, but were too
good to tear down, and brought good
rents on account of their location.
There was sufficient insurance on them
