 The girl much disturbed. was led 10 the bar. The foreman rose. We find the defendant not guilty" he said. As the late prisoner was turn ing to leave court Judge Rosalsky called out:
 One moment. Ella. Be careful not to let any more suspicion fall on you, whether you are innocent this time or not"
 Oh. judge" said the girl. "Ah never done it befoh. an fo' de Lurd An neyah will again"
 The jury looked amazed.

It would be hard, in fact, an im- possible task, to explain why man. ufacturer will use the care he does in looking after his cash on hand and in bank. only to show an almost utter lack of concern when money is transferred into material. says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. He would almost have heart failure If anyone would ask him for dollar with the stipulation that no entry was to be made on the books, and he would not consider such a thing for a moment. On the other hand, so careful is he. that if only a quar- ter's worth of stamps are purchased. he sees to 1t that cash is credited and expense charged for the outlay. If he buys S100 worth of material, merchandise or whatever the ac- count may be named is charged, and the person from whom the material was purchased is credited; but how this material is used. when it is used. or where. receives but little of his consideration. If dollar in the office Is guarded with the care that 1t is. a piece of brass in the stock room. costing and worth a dollar, should receive the same degree of at- tentiou; and workman should have no more right to take this piece Of brass from stock without accounting for it than he would have the -i-lt 10 walk into the office and remove a dollar from the cash drawer.

A contemporary wonders what Jefferson would say if he were to ap- pear again on terra firma. It is doubtful if he would say anything for a while. He would be lost in thought. An automobile would cause him considerable surprise and an express train at full speed would surprise him more than anything he saw in Europe, while the Atlantic cable, the telephone and the Mau- retania crossing the Atlantic in five days, would complete his astonish- ment, that is, provided he is not familiar from empyrean observation with the little things that take place on earth,

BOILERMAKERs DISCHARGED.
Only Five Left in the Railroad shops
 in New Haven.

New Haven. May T--The axe which has been SO busily wielded by the rail. road authorities throughout the local shops and yards during the past few months has fallen again. and this time the remaining boilermakers employed here have been discharged. Al pres ent there are only five employed by the road in this city. and these except mOmentarily to be informed that their services are no longer required.
 When the last cut. of which infor- nation was given at the close Of last week. thlrty-five boilermakers were dismissed. and the five now at work are taking the places of the sixty usually employed. .
 There Is plenty of work at present. and q railroad man said last night that he did not believe there was now perfect boiler on the whole New Haven system. This is probably an exaggeratIon. but he went on to tell of how the boilers ia the local yards ard all over the system leak. Only the worst cases are repaired. and to do this the engines arc taken to Read vile. except the very few which must I.e repaired in this cIty. Al Waterbury last Saturday four engines were lying absolutely helpless because Of lack Of repairs.
 The reason for this wholesale cut In the forre of the men and the allowing of the engines to % without being re- paired is believed foo. by the general pubilr to lse a part of the retreneh- ment policy of the New Haven road, and by the lal0rinx men to be q part If the contest against union laipor.

PRIEST GOES ARMED.
Rector of Italian Church Fears for
 His Life.

Meriden, May 7.-Rev Domenico Ricci. rector of Our Lady of Mt Carmel Italian church on Goodwill avenue, received a letter recently, presumably from members of the so- called Black Hand society, in which a demand was made for s100, and If the sum is not paid the writers of the communication threaten to make trouble for him. The case has been reported to the police and the matter is now under investigation. Police Chief Bowen has given the priest a permit to carry revolver whenever he desires and If any at- tempt is made to molest the clergy man every effort will be put forth to apprehend the guilty parties. As the matter now stands it is difficult for the police to do anything.
 Father Ricci pretends that he Is not very much alarmed by the com- munication, though he would much rather not have received such let ter. So far as he knows he has no enemies and if any person has any feeling against him he would like to know just what troubles them. The letter was dated April 2, but the post mark on the envelop is March 30. It was posted in Meriden and probably was written in this city.
 The letter is written in Italian and with ink. The demand is for $I00 and tells where he can leave the cash, but the priest would not make public where the writer said the money must be left. A cross is marked in ink over the signature Black Hand"
 Members of the Italian church are greatly disturbed over the let ter and those identified with the newly organized White Hand so- ciety" propose to do their best to find out who sent the note to the priest This organization will hold a meeting soon al which some &C., ton will be taken. If there are any new corners in the city whose reputation is questioned they will he closely watched to see that no harm comes to their pastor.
 Father Rieci lives at 97 Goodwill avenue and until recently he hired lut uTHi Hb0E dFatAuithtHs uhA EahNE receiving the note he has moved 10 the second floor of the dwelling and his rooms are now kept tightly locked day and night.
 Soon after Father Ricci came 10 Meriden. a year or sO ago, he vas called out of his home at midnight one night and the caller asked him to go 10 the home of an Italian family where a man was said to be dying. He started out and the route was across an open lot where he found two men were waiting for him and a demand vas made on him for money. He gave the men what lit- tie he had and then the strangers left him alone in the field.

sufficient to meet al requirements.
Then came county surveyor. 0eofge
Clarkson named ". q. Trumbor Of
Glenwood Springs, after which there
was painful silence. Theodore Resen-
berg stood up and made some goo-goo
eyes and A. J. vsgg taking the cue
placed him in nomination. The vote
which resulted in 45 for Rosenberg and
90 for Trumbor disproved the theory
that Il You 60 after q thing with de-
termination you can most always land

The nomination for coroner was
given to Dr. Granville Hopkins Of Glen
wood Springs by acclamation after Dr.
Lockard and Major DeLan had both
turned it down. DR.. Hopkins, like
Hubbard, was not there to defend him
self.

RIO oRANDE COAL cHuTEs ARE
BURNED.
7rom Tuesday's Daily Post.

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
Fire of unknown origin which was
first discovered few minutes before
5 o'clock this morning completely de-
stroyed the coal chutes of the Rio
Grande in West Glcnwood about half
mile from the depot, together with
considerable coal and four freight
cars, entailing loss which, it is said,
will be close to $500.
When the fire was first discovered it
had gained such headway that with
the lack of fire fighting facilities there
was no way of checking it's progress
and efforts of train crews which were
in the yards were devoted to saving
what cars could be pulled out of the
danger zone. Two cars of coal which
were on the chute being unloaded could
not be saved and car of hay and
another of lumber which were on a
siding close by caught fire before they
could be hauled away. These cars were
run down on to the main line and were
completely destroyed.
When the fire started the night gang
of italian coal beavers was at work
and it is thought possible that the
fire caught from one of their torches
which had been mislaid. 1t had such
a start, however, when first noticed that
there was no means Of ascertaining the
exact cause. The FIRE burned itslf out
in about m hour.

IMPUGN ENGINEERS ACCURACY

one OF the days Of the Tri-e6unty fair
was taken up and the opinion feaehsd
that it would be better for the bust.
ness men to take the initiative. Mayor
F, Drach and the rest of the council took
the liberal view that the business places
ought to close at least for short time
and it remains only for a petition to
be circulated to obtain this action, nm
less some of the business men refuse to
come in.
The council discussed q rumor that
a car of dynamite had been hauled to
the water tank on the Rio Grands and
water thrown on it just in time to
avert an awful explosion yesterday
morning when the coal chutss burned
and the council decided that the water
tank is nuisance and should be moved
out of town, No action was taken.
City Will Build Walks.
City Clerk Kendrick called attention
to the fact that a number of property
owners who had been ordered to put in
cement walks have thus far failed TO
comply and after some discussion Z mo
tion that he be authorized to advertise
for bids for doing this work was car
ried, the clerk being given discretion
ary power in cases where there Wis .
clearly good itnent on the part Of the
property owner. The matter, 1t. WAS
felt is urgent as cold weather is coming
on.
Councilman Cardnell injected little
spice into the tail end of the proceed
ings by threatening to sue the city
within two weeks if the Sharp family
was not compelled to move Of tho
head of Ninth street. Mayor Dfech
instructed the street commissioner to
see them Immediately and report at
the next meeting as to the result, say.
ing that the council would probably
meet within the two weeks time limit
given by Mr.. Cardnell.
At this point motion to adjourn
found unanimous support.
