THE HALF HOLIDAY
It is On in Full Blast Just al
 Present in Waterbury.

The hardware stores will continue to close on Saturday afternoons dur ing the summer, having started the plan last Saturday. The members of the leading hardware stores of this Icity are enthusiastic over the clos ling of their places on the afternoon of the last day of the week and main- tain that 1t is the only rightful day in the week to close. They claim the opportunity is given of getting out of town until the following Monday morning. In number of other cities Saturday afternoon is closing day and l 1t affords general satisfaction. The stores in general started the half holiday for their clerks this after noon. Although the hardware men are of the opinion that Saturday should be the day off for everybody
 the proprietors of other stores are not likely to agree with them. They cannot see where they can allow | their clerks Saturday afternoon and evening off They assert that their business would be greatly affected by
 doing so Of course the clerks would much prefer Saturday, but since they have small hopes of getting it, they are content with Tuesday.

BURPEE .j| HORSES HURT
Collision on Grand Street Last Evening y Offender Arrested.

Colonel L. F. Burpee, Mrs Burpee and Miss Burpee were driving be- hind a pair of dashing blacks on
 Grand street near Church. yesterday afternoon when a horse driven by
 Vincent Daury came along and with
 the shafts of his runabout. put the
 Burpee team out of commission. Daury drove away as soon as he eX- tricated himself from the difficulty and an hour later won race on the Watertown road with the horse which had figured in the accident. It is said that Daury's horse is owned by Jo- seph Vitte of Bridge street. He was going at very smart gait consider ling the traffic on Grand street at the time and drove slap bang into the col onels team. Mrs Burpee was drly- ing and beside her sat Miss Burpee, while the colonel sat behind. The force of the collision brought their team to a stop instantly and several men from T F. Lunny's stables ran to give assistance. They found that one shaft of Daury's runabout pene- trated the neck of one of the two horses and the other shaft struck the other horse on the flank, injuring the leg, thus crippling both. The horses were relieved of the carriage and a veterinary was summoned. An. hour later young Daury was arrested charged with evading the responsibll- | ity for an accident, and this morning he was in the city court and the case was continued until tomorrow morn ing. He is about fifteen years Of age He denied this morning having figur-
 ed in previous case of this kind.

Probably no manufactured article to-
day is more closely criticised or more in
fluenced in its popularity, by its quality
than the brand of cigars favored by the
consumer. It is therefore with just
pride that the manufactures of the
famous BLACKSTONE CIGAR have
seen their sales steadily increase from
year to year, necessitatirg the enlarg-
ing of their building twice within a
short period to enable them to keep up
with the demand. 1t is not easy t.

In this action the plaintiff recovered
a verdict for damages occasioned by
an alleged breach Of warranty on the
part Ct the defendant in the sale of a
horse. and the case is now before us
on q motion by the defendant to set
aside the verdict.
The plaintiff claims that the de-
PENDANT warranted the horse to be
sound ard all right "as to his eyes"
and the defendant contends that the
only represe ntation he made as to the
horses condition was that he was all
right so far as he knew. IL there was
a warranty such as the plaintiff claims,
there is pIenary evidence of breach
The only question therefore is whether
there was such a warranty.
The evidence is conflicting upon the
main issue as we'll Us upon several
collateral issues raised, and the ascer-
tainment Of the truth must depend
upon credibility of the parties and wit
nesses.

good success. At his last visit. ana nc
visits the traps once week. he foufla
three fine mink and eight foxes. The
mink he sold to +. d. Southland, the
Foxcroft fur buyer for SCI and the
foxes brought about s25 in cold cash.
As is stated above Chris has been
n trapper all his life. Naturally he is
an interesting man to converse with.
Despite the fact that he spends much
of his time in the deep woods he Is We'll
versed upon the topics of the day and
can talk easily upon most any subject
one might mention. He has probably
had a more varied experience as
trapper than other Maine man.
Not only has he trapped in the Pine
Tree state but through the Blue range
of mountains through to and up the
Columbia river in the west to the
Frazier river on the coast of Labrador
on the east. On Sun Ridge in the state
of Montana is one of his favorite
grounds. He is without doubt
