TWO MUST DIE
Sad Scene in Hartford Court Room When Two Murder.
 CTS Were SeDieDced
ONE MAN BROKE DOWN

Hartford, December 17.--Peter Rubaka and John Sayerock, who were convicted yesterday of murder in the first degree, in the killing of Michael Wierdak in Glastonbury, as the result of dispute over d dog, were sentenced by Judge Case to- day to be hanged in Wethersfield at the state prison on March 9 next. An attempt was made by the pris- oners lawyers to have the verdict set aside, but their motions were overr,led.
 When the prisoners were asked if they had anything 10 say before the sentence was passed, Rubaka de- Clared he was innocent of the crime and broke down, when the death penalty had been passed. Saverock was cool and collected, had nothing 10 say and never quivered once throughout the ordeal. Rubaka 5 wife and daughter were in the court, crying bitterly and had to be led out, while Rubaka half dazed and with hands raised in supplication, stag gered to his cell in charge of his keepers

DOES NOT STICK
President of Trust Company Bas DO Faith iD College
 Educated Men.

Chicago, Dec 17.-C. B. Riley president of the Chicago Title and Trust Co, declares in an address that the college man does not stick
 'I have no doubt, says he, that man with training in imagination derived from college education can advance rapidly, but would rather have a man in business who can do percentage thaa one who can do d;f- ferential calculus.
 The lack of pu pose and grasp of detail is what the university man does not get The man in business requires the routine character of mind that the highly educated cClA lege man has nor tEc patience for. What seems to be big things dc not exist in business, tor business is sinl~ ply a combination of details
 The best man in business IS the man with the grea.Cs. imagination The strongest asset business man can nave is the pOWe" Of Geeins Whli might happen. Ile must also have the moral courage 10 go broke j; necessary and not resort to crooked work to keep atOat.'

DRIGGS SCHOOL SITUATION.
Anxious Parents Wanted School
 Closed Until After Holidays.

The situation at the Driggs school was no worse than it has been in other schools during the past few months,' was the statement made to-day by Health Officer Dr T. J. kilmartin, in connection with the closing of the Driggs school yester- day. Tn fact there was no more cause for alarm at the Driggs than there is at the Webster" he contin- ued, flor each school has three cases of scarlet fever But there was such demand made by the parents in that section to have the school closed for a>couple of days to allow it to be fumigated that 1 deemed it prudent to do so.'
 It Is understood that a committee of the residents in that district want ed the school closed until after the holidays, but the health authorities would not agree to it. The condl- tions at Driggs are not apparan5.y nearly as bad as at Walsh a fe. weeks ago. when there were several cases of diphtheria, two of the ch:l- dren dying from the disease. There was some talk of closing the school at that time, but t was finally de- cided not to do so.

CONDUIT FOR STREET
Favorable Report From Street
 Committee For Connecticut Co.

The street committee has made a iaVoraDle report on the petition of the connecticut Co to make a con- dult in Grand street from State street
 to Il point near the property of Mrs heddlg and in State street from Grand street about ninety feet north e'iS' me conditions are that the company shall see that all the poles and wires between the points wbers lhe condull is to be located are re- moved This will remove all the poleS and overhead wires from tbe pole about midway in the lot onno- sue the Bronson library building cle"r do"h to the entrance to the new railroad station, and will take or most Of the wires on the holes in the other direction on Grand streer to LeaVenwOrth street. It will also do away with the poles and wires in lhe lDfary lot, the plan being to carry wires into the library building through conduit which is now prac- tlcaiIy completed across the beauti- fuI greensward to the massive brick structure. The Connecticut Co does not own all the poles between the points mentioned, but it is under stood that they will be able to make arrangements with the other com- panies to get them out of the way SO that the prospect is bright for one street in Waterhurv tha+ u,;l1 ,1a have any poles or overhead wires.

FOR BRONSON LIBRARY.
Bohemian Society Will Turn Over Its
 Funds Soon.

Here is a nice bit of news for Miss Sperry and the Bronson Library agents, who are trying to get all the money they can for that institution The local Bohemian society has de- cided to disband and turn over all the money in their treasury to the Bronson library without any condi- tions except that as soon as the in stitution can get to 1t few Bo- hemian books will be put in the li brary. The treasurer has reported the facts to one of the agents. and the money, the amount is not large. to be sure, but it shows most com mendable disposition, will be turned over to the proper parties as soon as the organization winds up it's affairs There are not many natives of Bo- hemia in Waterbury. but such as we have are good citizens and in calling atte9tion to the literature of their country and showing disposition to have more of 1t in the public library they take very graceful way of coming into the limelight.
 Bohemia was formerly one of the kingdoms of Europe, but It is now a part of the Austro-Hungarian mon archy. It possesses literature older than that of the Slavonic stem of the old Huss, the reformer Twenty-one po- etical and more than fifty prose works are extant. including a col lection of ballads and essays made in the thirteenth century.

TAX RATE TALK.
Aldermen Will Have Another Dis
 cussion This Evening.

The board of aldermen will meet tonight at o'clock and make an other try to- get together on the esti- mates and tax rate for next year. If 1t be true, as some say, that the tax payers do not care how high the rate is so long as the money is to be used to good advantage theer is no req son why the aldermen should stand in the way, but there is some ques- tion about that and this is the source of the whole trouble. The statement that the teachers feel aggrieved al the action of the board of finance in not giving them more pay is not strange, to say the least. The board of finance made provision to pay the teachers the schedule recommended by the department of education and the superintendent of schools. Surely this is all that could have been ex- pected. If the department of educa- tion intended to advance the mini mum salary, the superintendent or somebody else should have made a
 recommendation to that effect on llluc lo SlNC lllt DOol u oI aH opportunity to consider it. It is not fair to the board of finance to say that they reduced the salaries of the teachers when provision is made to met the schedule asked for. If the board of education or the teachers themselves had asked for an ad- vance in wages and failed to get it. then there might be groULd for fault finding. but as this was not done it looks rather strange to hear mutter
 ings of dissatisfaction and see dis position to create an unfriendly feel ing where none exists. It Is common rumor on the streets that there will be great row and another midnight session tonight. but there is ntohing certain about that In any case no- body will be hurt and these who lok for trouble are Heedlessly alarmed

PRICE SUIT OFF.
Case Against Superintendent Beach
 and Officer Tehan Non-Suited.

The case of Fred R. Price against Superintendent of Police George M. Beach and Policeman Finton Tehan was nOn-suited in the superior court to-day owing to the failure of the plaintiff and his counsel to appear. City Attorney John P. Kellogg, counsel for the defense, was on haud aGd after waiting what lawyers call reasonable time for the opposing side to matefialize he moved for a nonSuit ana it was granted wlthOut delay.
 This was the case in which Price sued he defendants for damages of l,00G Tor false arrest and imprson- ment. One evening he was standing at the corner of East Main and North Main streets with lot of others and was requested by Officer Tehan to get gait on. He moved into the gutter and there he stayed. The off, cer came around again in short time and seeing Price in subst antial ly the same place as when he, saw him first again requested him 10 move on. Price, it seems, did not bG0ge this time whereupon he was taken into custody, went through all the form in the station house that make complete arrest after wnicn hs was locked up. He was treated just as any other person who has the ill luck to fall into the hands of the law is treated in the police sta ton. That is, he was searched and a pocket knife was taken from him. measured and weighed and slowed away behind the bars Tn few min ufeS news of his arrest was circulat- ed and friend gave bail of $5 for him. As Price failed to answer in court next day this sum was forfeit cd and that ended it. Then came tie suit for illegal arrest and im- plisonment. Price was represented in the matter by Attorney c. G. Root. l. was never believed for a moment thar the case would be tried, but was looked upon as bluff suit.

THE CITY LOST
The Boichkiss Paper Company Was Awarded Full Amount
 of Damages
WAS DECIDED TO-DAY

New Haven, Dec 17.-Judge Rob inson in the superior court here to- day gave finding in favor of Elm ersOn NJ. Hotchkiss, in his suit against the city of Waterbury, by which the plaintiff shall receive an increase of $lS,30S in the amount awarded to him by the bureau of as sessment and compensation, as land damages.
 In taking land for railroad pur- poses, one of which was the erection of the new depot and the beautifying of the approaches to that station, MT Hotchkiss was awarded a total of S35, ,O00. He claimed that it was worth at the very lowest $53,30S and brought suit for the difference in the award. The court took the same view as MT Hotchkiss and rendered the decision accordingly.

CUCUMBER WATER.
Second Warders in Eastern Section
 May Get Up Petition.

The people of the eastern section of the second ward who are compell- ed to use the water supply from the branch are thinking of petitioning the board of works and Superintend- ent of Water Kennedy to switch them onto some of the other reservoirs. They say they are growing green, not with patriotism for Ireland where many of them came from nor with envy of their fellow citizens who are using the East Mountain reservoir, but simply with cucumbers, nothing else but cucumbers. They say they are beginning to talk cucumbers, dream cucumbers, sing cucumbers, eat cucumbers, as well as drink cu- cumbers. Nothing for them nowa- days but Cucumbers. They cant get away from them, and they say they are turning the color of cucumbers and canaries They don't mind so much about the canary look of the water so long as they won't be eX- pected to warble. but they do wish the cucumber part of 1t would be cut out. There is the taste of cucumber in milk and the taste of cucumber in tea. It is in the air and in the whiskey, in buildings and pies and some say on their boiled shirts. In short if there ever was a prOdigality of anything in the second ward, that that prodigality is of cucumbers. The people feel it in their prayers and their profanity and if the board of works and Superintendent Kennedy won't heed their petition they threat en cucumbers will be growing wild in the second ward, that's all.
