THE POLICE COURT.
Two Sent to Brookside from City
Court To-day.

court To-Day.
James Gaffney came down from
Brookside yesterday and immediate
ly proceeded to fill himself with
fighting whiskey. He succeeded and
made things lively in Olanoff's sa-
loon on Grand street. He was
charged with intoxication and breach
of the peace in the city court and
was returned to Brookside for sixty
days.
Mary DAILY accompanied him for
thirty days. She also was charged
with intoxication.
Alfred Anderson of Naugatuck,
while under the influence of drink
on trolley car last evening, be-
came abusive and profane and
scared the wits out of the women
passengers. He was fined SIS and
costs.
John Rinaldi was held for to-mor-
row morning on charge of bur-
glary. There is some mystery about
the matter yet and the police are
reticent regarding 1t.
John Supell was charged with
breaking into Wade Gatlin's store
on West Main street yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock. This was trivial
affair and 1T was nolled. II seems
that a colored man engaged on the
premises told Supell how to get into
the place when he would be away.
Supell tried a means of his own, 4
quarter-inch augur, and bored a
hole in the door. The colored man
did not like this and had Supell nv
rested.

FIRED ON WARDEN
Three Men on Trial In Superior
Court To-Day.

The trial of Frank Reed, Thomas
Lee and John Temple for firing upon
Harold |. Blanchard at Oxford on
the afternoon of December 80 last,
with intent to kill him, began In the
superior court before Judge Reed
and jury this forenoon at 1880
o'clock. The accused evidently are
framps. Blanchard is a conductor
of a freight train and lives in East
Hartford. On the morning OF De-
cember 80 he warned Reed to get
off the train at East Hartford and
the train started, Blanchard suppos-
ing Reed was left behind. But at
Oxford he came upon not only Reed
but the two others asleep in the cor
ner of an empty car with an OLD
overcoat over them. He made them
get off the train, whereupon as he
was going from the car which they
had occupied to the caboose they
opened fire on him. Two or three OF
the shots threw dirt in his face, one
struck the handle Of the brake on
which his right hand was resting as
the train was moving and the third
struck on the side of the caboose
over his head. Blanchard fired two
shots at them and then was out of
range. Word was Immediately tele-
graphed to Hartford of the shooting
and special engine was sent with
Chief of Railroad Police James R.
Mcmahon on board with another Off
Ger and they captured the three men
at Oxford.
Attorney Peasley was appointed
by the court to defend the trio.
Reeds age is Al years, while the
other two are in the eos.

COURTROOMCROWDED
When Judge Reed Was Pro-
nounclng Sentences.


II criminal life continues to de-
velop in Waterbury as it has during
the past few months, the dock in
the superior court room will have to
be enlarged. There was not room
enough In it yesterday to accommo-
date the sixteen prisoners that We're
brought UP from the county Jail in
New Haven, and many of them had to
stand up. While the general public Is
supposed to take care of itself when
it visits the criminal sessions of the
superior court, the criminal elements
In detention must be taken care of by
the state. The room was never so
crowded. Men and women were stand
ing up everywhere, even along the
aisles; lawyers and sheriffs, witnesses
and court officials were all mingled
together, owing to lack of room.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Judge Joel II.
Reed assumed the bench and business
began.
Court suspended for the day yester-
day after sentencing William Dunn
and George Allen, who were charged
with breaking into the office of the
Goodyear Rubber Shoe company at
Naugatuck, and taking $780, Attorney
William Kennedy, their counsel, stat
ed that he could not account for this
wild freak in the young mems con-
duct. Neither of them had a cent of
the money when taken into custody.
Both We're quite respectable before
this outbreak. The act charged against
the young men, said Mr. Kennedy, was
one of those freaks of conduct that
can never be accounted for. In dis
posing Of the case Judge Reed gave the
young men good advice. He said he
did not wish to place the stigma of
the state prison upon them. They
had not only the good reputation of
themselves to look out for and pre-
serve in the future, but that Of their
families. He then imposed SEN
tence of six months in Jail in each
case.
The case of the boy, Daniel McCar-
thy the alleged confederate Of Edward
Mulvey, was another interesting phase
Of human nature. Mccarthy and Null
vey broke into Mrs Esty's house on
Central avenue and took a quantity of
goods. Mccarthy is II years old and
he never before was in trouble with
the law. He was represented by At
torney Monagan, who stated that ex-
cepting the boys two sisters, who
were in court, he had no relations to
look after him or family ties to re-
gard. Up to the present, however, he
was a good boy and probably had he
escaped the contagion of bad company
he would not have found himself in
this predicament.
Judge Reed said he appreciated the
situation very well, but in view of the
complaint against him there was no
discretion left him but to commit the
lad to the state prison. To avoid this
step the complaint was accordingly
changed, so that instead of breaking
into Mrs Estey's house in the night
time 1t was made to appear the break
ing in took place in the day time and
Mccarthy was accordingly committed
to Jail for one year.

Snow Storm Was an Expensive One
for New York.

New York, Jan. 25.-That 1t will
cost $4,000 to clean the streets of
New York Of the snow which fell IN
the storm of Thursday night and yes

removal bureau. In addition to this
direct outlay by the municipality, it is
figured that in injuries to horses and
vehicles. delays in transportation of
goods and the increased cost of coal,
which jumped SO cents ton yesterday

handling, the loss to citizens through
the storm Will be at least as much
more.
Throughout yesterday five hundred
teams and $500 men were kept busy
cleaning the streets of snow. while all

LOO men and $50 teams were occu-
pied with the work. Today the snow
removal bureau hopes to have at least
five thousand shovelers and drivers
employed. With all this force. how
ever, Snow Inspector Worth expresses
himself as fearful that, barring the
speedy advent of a thaw. or a warm
rain, New Workers will have to en-
counter considerable amounts of snow
on city streets for five or six days to
come.
