The horse must have been good one for 1t kept up its surprising speed to the end. Near the Elton spectator shouted to the white faced driver to turn his horse up North Main street or there would be a crash among the hacks on the hack stand. So up North Main street the man turned the horse and so great was it's speed that the wagon crashed against the curb outside the Odd Fellows building and down went horse and driver, and the runaway was over, for crowd was on the horses head before it had time to get in

TO OPEN BOXES
Justice Lambert Decides in Favor of Bearsf in tbe Fam.
 Ous Election Case
MCCLELLAN OVERRULED

New York, May 26.-The boxes containing the ballots cast in the Mo- Clellan-Hearst mayoralty contest nearly three years ago which have been the object of litigation since that election day are to be opened. This was decided by Justice Lambert in the supreme court to-day when he overruled a motion containing twen- ty separate objections made by coun- sel for Mayor Mcclellan in connec- tion with the recount hearing now in progress. The justice also denied an- other motion to set aside two sub poenas which had been served upon President Dooling of the board of elections which ordered him to pro- duce the ballot boxes. Justice Lam bert directed President Dooling to produce the ballot boxes within thirty minutes.
 The recount hearing has been in progress several weeks and is ex- pected to continue through the sum- mer. Nearly 2,000 boxes were used in the election of 1905 and it is pos sible that all the ballots contained in these boxes may be canvassed in the presence of the court.
 Two subpoenas directing William R. Hearst to appear before the court which is hearing the recount cas, were issued to-day at the request of counsel for Mayoyr Mcclellan. The attorney said the action was taken in view of MT Hearst's announcement that he intends to sail for Europe to- morrow. Subpoena servers were sent out to search for MT Hearst.

CAT WAS THE BURGLAR.
Two Officers and Proprietor Watched
 Store Early This Morning.

Patrolman Frank Cutting was right on to his job early this morn ing and as he tried the rear door of Mullen's cafe on East Main street near Hayden street his keen ear caught sound from within the wine emporium. Cutting summoned Pa- trolman Sam Walsh, who was nearby and they proceeded to catch the burglar. rom" Hanrahan, who manages the cafe and lives nearby, was also called. Walsh and Cutting entered the cafe, but the burglar was mot in sight. In fact everything seemed to be in it's place and the policemen were at a loss to know whence the noise had come. Hanrahan looked around and found that not thing had been disturbed and must have thought the officers had been seeing things. As they were just about to come from the cafe they again heard a noise and when a big cat jumped out from behind a barrel they realized that it was one on them.

MAN SKIPPED OUT.
And Police Try to Locate Him in
 Waterbury.

Sergeant Toomey of Norwich came Ito Waterbury yesterday in search or [Waclaw Bocckowski of that place, who disappeared rather mysteriously short time ago and was supposed to have been the victim of foul play. lie l had run in with countryman and immediately after the row he dug out and 1t got noised about that the oth- CT fellow throttled him in the dark land spirited away the body. Then the suspect made himself scarce and the next thing Norwich knew it was ml- nus two of it's very prominent clti- zens. The other day BocckoWsKi wrote to the bank in Norwich for some money he had there and as soon as the authorities heard this they imemdiately concluded that they had solved the mystery, believing that the request to forawrd the money to Wa terbury came from Bocckowski's slay- CT. The next move was to send an officer down here and Sergeant Teom- ey was pressed into service and the aid of the local detective force soon located the missing man, but was somewhat disappointed to find that there was nothing the matter. He had a run in with an old chum after which he left Norwich and came to Waterbury. That was all. He knew nothing about the movements of the man he had the falling out with. Ar ter hearing what he had to say and making some further investigation 1t was decided to let him go, there be- ing nothing to show that he commit ted any offense.
 Bocckowski was brought in a few
 days ago by the local police force but
 he was discharged. He was discover
 ed promenading up and down by the
 fence at one of the factories and the
 oficer thinking he was trying to get
 on the inside. took him into custody.
 But on that occasion as well as this
 he succeeded in convincing the limbs
 of the law that they had the wrong
 man.

MEMORIAL DAY CLOSING.
Clerks Making an Effort to Get the
 Day Of.

The clerks in the stores of this city are up in arms over the decree of the merchants that on Memorial day the business houses shall remain open all day. Last evening about 200 of the clerks met in Fraternity hall and discussed the matter which is causing them so much uneasiness. A committee was appointed to confer with the merchants in the hope of having the latter decide to remain closed on Saturday.
 The clerks claim that the sores in Hartford, New Haven and Bridge port will not do business on Me morial day and see no reason why Waterbury should not do the same. Moreover they claim that the mer- chants promised them Memorial day because they had to work Good Fri day.
 The committee selected by the clerks have already received the opin- ion of about every store keeper in town and according to the commit tee some of the stores are willing to remain open Friday night and close all day Saturday. Others would re- main open Friday night and Saturday morning and give the employees the afternoon and evening off. Still there are others that do not wish to close any part of Saturday. 7.
 The business men seem to be unde- cided now just what to do and will hold meeting to reconsider the mat ter The clerks say they think the people will do their shopping Friday evening if they know the stores will be closed next day. The proprietors think that in view of the number of disagreeable Wednesdays and Satur- days in the past, they should remain open the coming Saturday.

 This lady lounges about the li- brary with an unrolled umbrella in her hand. If she sees a book she wants, a magazine or a newspaper, pop it goes into the umbrellas ca paeious folds. Her type is we'll known. Never carry an unrolled umbrella into library if you would escape the surveillance of the watch CTS and attendants
 Another class-male-ste weeklies. This daring thief rolls a weekly into cylinder, slips his hand through it and works it up his sleeve. Fancy running such a risk for or 10 cent weekly,
 "A rare, genius, feminine again. is the partitive or instalment thief, who steals book few pages at a time. Though the genius is known to libraries, have met with but two specimens in 10 years. One stole a Hall Caine and the other an H. A.. Vachell volume, in instalments. Both were more or less daft.
 "The most numerous class of all is the open, daring one. These peo- pie bluff. They walk out with a stolen book or paper under their arms as if it were their own.
 Our percentage of thefts? We'll, we count to have about two books in every hundred stolen. n."-CincinnatI Enquirer.
