TO ITALY IN TINY BOAT.
Italian Yaehtsman to Make PeriIous
 Trip From New York on A Waosr.

Italian Yaehtsman to Make PeriIous
 Trip From New York on Wager.
 Carlo de Peloggio, an enthusiastic young Italian yachtsman. is going to make an attempt to cross the Atlantic in a swenty-four foot sailboat. The start will be made from New York harbor on July 1, and the ultimate des- tination is to be Genoa, Italy. The daring task that Mir. de Peloggio will undertake is the outcome of a wager of s5,0O0 between him and the Mar quis Zanotti of Rome.
 These two yachtsmen have long been rivals in Mediterranean waters, and when Mfr. de Peloggio made the asser- tion that he thought it possible to cover the long expanse of ocean be- tween New York and the birthplace of Americas discoverer the marquis of fered to make the bet that he would find 1t too difficult a proposition for a boat of the dimensions named to navi- gate the long stretch.
 Mir. de Peloggio will be accompanied on his tripzby only one person. His partner will probably be the viscount de Lemounier of Paris. Special pre- caution will be taken against the buff feting of the heavy waves by having the craft practically wholly covered. The only open space will be just enough for purposes of navigation. Regular cutter rigging will be used.
 Although there is no time limit set by the Marquis Zanotti for the accom- plishment of the trip. the young sailor says that with favorable weather con- ditions he is confident of making the port of Genoa in forty days from the start

LINKS IS MISSING.
Man Who Was With Frank Scluskie
 Sunday Evening.

Deputy Coroner Walter D. Make peace of this city was in Southbury yesterday Investigating the myster- ious death of Frank Scluskie, who was found in hole in a quarry near Roxbury Falls Monday afternoon. He learned that Sculskie was out walk ing with Frank Links, his cousin, and Nicola Pawo on Sunday. Pawo talked with the coroner yesterday, but Links is missing and some think he may be found at the bottom of the pool where Scluskie's body was To- cated.
 Pawos story is to the effect that after making several visits to their friends Sunday afternoon they start ed home about p. m. Sunday even- ing. 'Scluskie and Links suggested taking short cut through the quar- ry but Pawo did not care to do sc and kept along the road. The men started through the quarry. When they had gone some distance Pawo heard shouts coming from their di- rection, but he did not go back and that was the last he seen or heard of them.
 Mir Makepeace does not think that anything new will be thrown upon the case until Links is located. The hole is being dragged to-day on the probability that he may have fallen in there with Scluskie. Though sey- eral marks were found on Scluskie's body, the Southbury residents do not yet think that the man was murder ed. The dead mans wife says she begged her husband not to go out with the other men on Sunday as she had premonition that something would happen.

MAYOR IN HARTFORD
Went There 10 Attend Hearing That Was Held Here-A
 Lively Session.

The railroad commissioners came
 to Waterbury this morning and held
 session regarding the proposition
 of the company to abolish the gate
 man at the Bank street crossing and
 do away with the fagman at Wash. lngton avenue. It was understood
 that the hearing would be held in Hartford and Mayor Thoms went up
 there to attend it. When he got
 there and learned what was up he telephoned down here and requested Attorney James R. LaWlor to rep resent the city at the hearing, MT Kellogg not being in town. The meeting came off in the police court room and resulted in a lively scrap between Attorney Spock for the rail- road company and Mir Lawlor for the city, the latter contending that very large numbers of people pass at these points and that the re- moVal of the guards would result in great risk to life and limb. The commissioners showed disposition to be fair and promised not to ar. rive at any definite conclusion until after Superintendent Lake has had a talk about the matter with Mayor Thoms. They also assured MT Lawlor that in case the gateman and fiagman should go trains will slack coming to these points and will pass over the crossings at a speed not faster than six miles an hour. They wanted it understood that the cross ings in question never will be Jeff wholly unprotected. After they got through with the Waterbury case a hearing was held regarding con. demnation proceedings for land to be used for railroad purposes in Seymour.

SUNDAY CLUBS"
Decision in State Law Reports Ad.
 verse to Them.


 verse to Them.
 The legality of what is known as Sunday Clubs" is threatened in de- cision contained in the current num- Der of the state law reports. Joseph Warcholik, the president of the Rus sian and Slovenian Liberty club of Ansonia was arrested last December on the complaint of State Policemen Loucks and Rose for selling drink to them one Sunday. The club through it's president was fined in the lower court and an appeal was taken ana the decision of the lower court was sustained by the superior court. This took the case to the supreme court and there it was maintained that even allowing that a servant of the club did sell to the officers, thinking them to be members it was a good defence.
 But the supreme court did not think so, and sustained the ruling of both the lower courts. The court went further saying that in view of the fact that the statutes expressly forbid the sale of drink by anyone but licensed parties, and as the club in question was not licensed even though it had federal license and was incorporated the fact that it did not have the state license showed clearly that in selling to the officers the law was plainly violated. It made no difference if the proceeds of the sale of drink were used for club purposes the fact remained that the club had not state license to sell intoxicants and in sel- ling to the state policemen the law was violated.
