STRIKE GOING STALE
Merchants the Only Ones Con-
 plaining About Tie Up.

There is nothing new in the freight strike and the merchants continue to kick about the condition at the houses due to the strike which apparently is petering out, as the men are making no steps to get back and the company seems content to go along in the man. ner it has the past ten days Though the pressing into service of the new freight house is aiding considerably in the handling Of transfer cars, oth- erwise it is not relieving the situation to any degree.
 Yesterday afternoon a freight car on siding near Porter street was broken into and small amount of cigarettes and tobacco was stolen, but the loss was small. It is thought to be the work of boys and is likely to occur now and then when so many cars are in the yards.
 This morning the men made it a point to look after the cars with per- ishable goods, and they were the first unloaded The platforms have no IS much freight as they did, but the houses are billed up with merchandise. Though more freight is being handled than in the early part of the week, the new men are still away behind and will have to do some tall hust- ling to catch up. Meanwhile the pub lie must make the best of the situa- ton.

BOYS IN COURT
One Discharged and Two Sent 10
 State School For Boys.

James Connor 15, Antonio IA, and George Cappola 13, were before Judge Bhrpee in the city court to-day charged with theft of nine gold plated rings, three hand mirrors, half doz- en fob chains, half dozen pairs of stockings, and few pocket knives, all of the value of $20, from Samuel Levine, I'll South Main street, last Saturday night The goods were in a wooden case which was outside of Levine's store and 1t occurred to one of the boys that 1t would be a great joke to see what was in 1t. So Gap pola stood sentry while the others went to work to open the case. They were pleasantly astonished to find 1t held goods of various kinds, such as those mentioned above. They filled their pockets and their blouses and away they went. Next day Detective Keegan was on their tracks and tlIey were on his. Finding themselves in danger of arrest they fled to New Ha- ven where for a few days they lived on the money they sold the goods for. When their money was gone and they began to feel hungry they lost sight of their danger and returned home and their arrest followed last night. One knife and few of the rings were found on them. As Cappola was nev- CT before in court. sentence was sus- pended In his case and the other two were committed to the state school. There was no other business before the court.

DR ANDERSON HOME
Visited Many Places of Interest
 While Travelling in Europe.

The Rev Joseph Anderson, D. D., pastor emeritus of the First Congre- gational church, Mrs Anderson and their daughter, Miss Annie, returned yesterday after most enjoyable trip abroad. The only occurrence to mar the trip was when the doctor was re lieved of wallet in Italy. which con- tained about $500 In English bank notes. It was while Dr Anderson was stepping from one compartment to an other in railway coach, that two men jostled against him, the same trick that is often worked in this country, and a sort time later the doctor made the discovery that he had been fleeced. Though an effort was made to apprehepd the thief, the light fingered chap escaped.
 While in Italy the party visited Mi Ian, Venice, Florence and Naples. go ing through many of the churches and cathedrals. Four week were spent in Egypt and the party went up the Nile as far as the temple of Philac at Luxor. Several days were spent in Palestine and few in Constantinople where the doctor met some old friends. Athens was also visited. The return trip was made on the Cretic, the doctor bringing with hlm col lection of curios, which he will pre- sent to the Waterbury Historical as- SOciatiOn.

HERMANN HANGED.
Prayer On His Lips When Bridgeport
 Murderer Was Executed.

Hartford, May 10.--In the presence of two priests and seventeen other witnesses, and with an almost inau- dible prayer in his lips, Alexander Hermann of Bridgeport met death by hanging at the state prison in Wetn- ersfield last night.
 Hermann, who was 26 years old, was very pale when he walked into the death chamber, escorted by two guards and when he took his place on the iron plate, directly beneath the swinging moose, half scared look appeared in his eyes. but he remained still as Rev J. J. Duggan, Roman Catholic chaplain at the prison, touch ed to his lips, black crucifix. and while the black hood was being drawn over his head his lips were seen to move and the unintelligible words of prayer were heards.
 The prisoner was led into the chamber at 12:06 o'clock and twenty seconds later Warden Garvin pressed the spring. Involuntary movements of the hands and feet continued for some minutes and it was eleven minutes later that all action of the heart had ceased.
 During the time that Hermann was in the prison he was visited by Rev J. J. Duggan and by Rev S. Lozowski Polish priest in Wethersfield. These two visited him yesterday, heard his confession and administered to him the last sacraments.
 Hermann shot and killed Martin Korschinsky at Bridgeport July 4, 1906, on account of infatuation for Korschinsky's wife.

THE PAVING QUESTION.
Agents for Asphalt and Bitulithic
 Explaining Good Qualities.

A good deal of discussion is now going on all over the New England states regarding the relative merit of the kind of permanent street pave ment used by the asphalt companies and the men who control bitulithic, public officials who have tried both giving very conflicting evidence. so that it Is extremely difficult to get at the facts. It Is pretty hard to tell how they will pan out. but whether they are good. bad or indifferent. both are being used extensively and in time it Is thought they will re- place bricks altogether for street paving. One is a patent article and this is causing a lot of confusion in some places and especially in Water bury. many taking the ground that as the charter states that all such work shall be awarded on competi- tive bids 1t is out of the question to get competition on a material con- trolled entirely by one concern and that such a firm Is not in a position to enter into competition with other houses in a city with such a charter provision in force. Some sharp de- bates have taken place on the sub feet here and agents of both com panies have been here almost con stantly for the past five or six weeks, expostulating on the good qualities of their stock.

KINDREGAN ESTATE
James ]. Cassin Appointed Tem-.
 porary Administrator.

Whatever else may befall the es.. tate of Joseph Kendregan, who died suddenly in the Chelsea the ether day 1t shall not suffer for lack of lawyers at all events. In the probate court to-day Clerk James J. Cassin was ap- pointed temporary administrator in view Of their being some difficulty be- tween the half a dozen contending
 lawyers to agree upon one. The ap- continent was made on the sugges- ton Of Attorneys Root and Bronson. who feared that the estate might suf- Ter In some way pending the appoint ment of an administrator.
 It has been said that MT Kendre- gan's estate may figure up between $4oOO0 and $50.000. Attorney .Bron- Son stated this morning in the probate court that he would not be surprised If 1t amounts to at least $7O,OOO or $Io.OOO. He said that a short time before the mans death he told a friend that he had about S51.OOO knocking about in three of the local banks and that he had mortgages and railroad stock worth about S1O.OOO. Another lawyer stated that he swore to the assessors he was worth only $35,OOO.
 In view of this state of affairs At torney Bronson thought 1t advisable to appoint temporary administrator and he suggested Mr Cassin. The last person with whom Mir Kendre- gan spoke was either s. P. Williams. or George r. Hughes, president of the Reid x Hughes Dry Goods company. The room which MT Kendregan occu- pied in the Chelsea has been locked since his death and the lawyers as- sume that he must have left some pa- pers that may need immediate at tention. They would not be surprised that, if, after all, he had left will. A few days before his death he had been talking to Judge George H. Cowell about making his will but so far as Judge Cowell Is aware he had not made it.
 Henry l.. Wade, president of the Waterbury Clock company was an old friend of Mir kendregan and the lawyers hoped to be able to get Mir Wade to accept the administratorship of the estate, but Mir Wade declined as he calculated upon taking a trip to Europe in few weeks and he did not wish to be hampered with such an appointment. The hearing on the motion to select permanent adminis- trator will take place on May 20.

The fever is growing to an alarming extent and several Brooklynites are in pool of which the winner will receive s100, the second man s20, the third sS. There are 32 in the game and each week for eight weeks they put 50 cents in the pot. The runs of the four leagues, National, American, East ern and State are pooled. Each week each member has one of the teams in the leagues mentioned and every week man has different ag- gregation. At the end of the eight weeks, the person whose teams have made the most runs takes the money. The man with the next highest num- Der of runs takes second and the third prize of sS Is awarded to the third man. Though the fellows in the game do not miss the 50 per.
