HORSE BROKE AWAY
Men Making Transfers Got One
 They Did N0t Look For.

Thomas Burns, who runs saloon at 309 Bank street, has bought out the saloon of Thomas Finnan on South Main street and applied for a transfer of that license, which now is Burns, to the store recently oc- cupied by Jacobs, jeweler, on Bank street. Then he has also applied for another transfer of that license to Alderman Charles A. Fine, while AL derman Fine has applied for swap of his license for that which Burns bought from Finnan. This arrange one on Bank street and one on East Main street, and 1t is said he has already found customer for the latter place.
 Now this proposition of series of transfers came near being the death of Burns aud Finnan last evening. With real estate dealer named Peter Martone and another party whose identity is not known, they were driving along South Main street and near Lounsbury street their horse broke away and dashed up the street at a terrific rate. The four men were thrown out and while Dr Dwyer attended to Finnan, Burns was taken to the office of Dr Mona gan on Center street, and Martone and the other men went home. The horse escaped injury but the wagon was wrecked. The injuries sustain ed by Burns and his friends were mostly about the head and hands.

NO SLEEP WALKERS,
Wanted on Jury Now Being Selected
 in Chicago

HI SHICuSOs
 Chicago, March 2S-Questions in regard to somnambuliam, dreams, ep- ilepsy, hypnotism and psychic phe- Iomena were asked of Neniremen in Judge Brentano's court yesterday to determine their qualification as jur- ors for the trial of Ross Freeman, the sleep walking burglar"
 The prosecution showed decided disinclination to accept men who had ever walked in their sleep. Freeman who was a salesman, broke into the saloon of Fred Folger, early New Years morning, and entering Fol gers sleeping apartment, broke open his trunk. Folger attacked him and the burglar struggled and fought. Mrs Folger came to her husbands as- sistance and was also beaten. Free man finally was overcome by tiremen from a neighboring house and held.
 When arraigned in the municipal court he professed complete ignorance of what occurred and declared he must have been walking in his sleep. Judge Cottrell discharged him, but he was indicted later. Medical experts will testify in the case.

KELLOGG AND TAYLOR
Summoned 10 Washington as
 Witnesses in Boat Case.

The submarine boat investigation at Washington has reached Water bury, Attorney John P. Kellogg and Franklyn A. Taylor, vice-president and general manager of the Ran dolph-Clowes Go, having been sum- moned to appear before the com mittee next Wednesday. Attorney Kellogg intends leaving for the na- tional capital this evening to see if matters cannot be arranged for his examination in order that ne may be able to attend to his business here in the superior court. There is a case of assault with intent to kill down for hearing in the superior court Tuesday and in case MT Kel- logg cannot attend to 1t the state will be represented by Attorney John F. McGrath, assistant prosecutor in the city court, where it las had one trial already. It is very likely that as most all of the members of the investigation committee are lawyers they will accommodate Mr Kellogg and give him a hearing Tuesday, so that he can return home that even- ing.
 The summoning of MT Kellogg and MT Taylor was done at the re- quest of Congressman Lilley, who was the cause of considerable agita- tion about this matter of submarine boats. How he can show any under handed dealing by the testimony of his fellow citizens, no one can un- derstand, for both have already been quoted in the press to the full ex- tent of their knowledge and what they did to obtain Mir Lilley's vote in favor of submarine boats. It is said that he hopes to show they were retained to secure his favor for sub marines, and neither of them has so far denied this, but it is reported that they will deny they were en- gagged to secure MT Lilley's vote in favor of any particular type of sub marine craft. Again, it is said that what took place between MT Lilley and his two prominent fellow citizens happened some time ago and before any national appropriation for any PaAsA tsPC VI DodL W luSuJlOu- ed, so far as local knowledge per tains. MT Taylor, it is said, favored the suggestion of getting MT Lilley's vote in order to make work for the hundreds of men in the employ of the Randolph-Clowes company, for 1t was understood that parts of the vessels were to be manufactured by that concern,
 MT Taylor said he would not leave for Washington until Tuesday morn ing. He wondered what he had been summoned for as what took pacs between him and MT Lilley took place two years ago and was dons in the ordinary course of business, as business men would do. He ad- mitted that he did speak to Mir Lil- ley but he did not know, he said. | that he had won Mir Lilley over to his views until MT Lilley recently | informed him to that effect. MT Tay- l Tor spoke to him about no particular i design of craft, and he had no par. ticular design in mind when he did | speak to him. What he said was | merely to secure business for the | company of which he is the active | head.

MIR. BRUCE IN TOWN.
Preparing For the Biggest Produc-
 ton Ever Seen Here.

ton Ever seen Here.
 An interesting theatrical person. age has been in Waterbury the past two days. He is Francklyn Bruce, and he is the advance stage mana ger of the big extravaganza company which will present "The Land of Nod," at Polls theater April 6 Monday night. Mir. Bruce had many things to say concerninr the the atrical business in general which are worth repeating. The fact that he is an advance stage manager brought out the very latest move on the part of important theatrical managers to provide a higher class of produc- tions than have heretofore been giv- en in cities which are visited for one or two nights only. You have been told in the advance announcements that the production of a big show in your city will be exactly the same as during its long run in New York or Chicago he said, but in nine cases out of ten the announce ments have been untruthful, because it isn't possible for a show carrying three or more baggage cars full of pN1htAss NOshuluCS duu OtuGT eueClS to land in town about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning and present perfectly smooth working show the same night, unless everything has been thoroughly arranged in ad- vance. Up to the present time there have been two companies which em- ploy advance staye managers. They are Ben Hur' and Maude Adams in Peter Pan.' The Land of Nod company is the third, and, without this preliminary preparation the peo- pie of Waterbury could not possibly see the production as it was given during the New York theater run. When the train bearing our equip ment arrives here Monday morning everything will be in perfect readi- ness on Poli's stage so that each drop and set piece and electrical adjunct, and all of the massive. properties carried from the trucks at the stage door directly to the spot each will occupy when the curtain rings up.

DEAD MAN STOOD UP.
Transfixed By Electricity for Three
 Quarters of an Hour.

"
 Quarters of an Hour.
 Hartford, March 28.-That Fred Helgren was not killed in the man. ner first described on Thursday night in East Hartford has been learned. Helgren, it is said, was coiling up the wire in an expert manner when the end of it, which conducted the current of 2,400 volts into the ground, left the ground and caused the current to pass through his body. He did not fall, it is said, but stood transfixed to the spot, erect, holding coil of wire In his hand just above his head, and with the other hand reached out ds if to grasp a support. He remained in this position in the presence of a number of spectators for nearly three-quarters of an hour, until a repair gang arrived and broke the circuit by knocking the wire out of his hand.
 It was solemn group of people who gathered about him. All real ized that his life had ended, and that an electric current which was lighting all the lights on the bridge and from the bridge up to the center was passing through his lifeless body into the ground, yet Ione dared touch him to take him from the spectacular position which he re- tained, lifelike, staring at them with wide open eyes, yet dead.
 While the group stood there look ing the unfortunate young mans mother came up and was only pre- vented by two men from seizing hold of her son. Had she touched him she would have been killed.
