RUNAWAY BOYS
Four New Britain Youths Taken
 Into Custody To-Day.

Four young men runaways from New Britain were taken into custody about l o'clock this morning by Of ficers Hayes and Dunphy in the rear of the Trott company's bakery on East Main street. They gave their names and ages as Joseph Carter, IS, John Sullivan, IT, William Green, 16, and Louis Rabtoy, 16. They were taken into custody be- cause they were unable to give a satisfactory explanation for their presence in the rear of the bakery at such an early hour in the morn ing. They said they came here to see the ball game yesterday and they said also that their object was to find work. They seemed to be hon. est fellows. Green was in the New Britain high school until two months ago, and why he did not complete the year he would not say, only that he just left school, pre- ferring work to study. '.... %.+
 Their night in the lookup did not tend to dampen their spirits by any means but it did seem to whet their appetite Their joint funds amount ed to 15 cents and as that would not buy breakfast for even one. they dined at the expense of the city.
 Unless the New Britain police, with whom Superintendent Beach got into communication this fore noon, wants the strangers detained, they will be released.

Decree Granted to Wife By Judge
 Curtis of Hartford.

In the superior court in Hartford yesterday Judge Curtis granted dl- vorce to Florence G. Townsend from Harry P. Townsend, superintendent of the Manville Machine company on Hamilton avenue and East Main street. The custody of their seven year old daughter Dorothy was grant ed Mrs Townsend, who at present re- sides in New Britain. Before Mrs Townsend met with her husband she was Miss Gladding. Soon after marriage trouble began, They were married on October F, 1898 in Bristol.
 Late hours on the part of Town send aroused his wife's suspicious az to his habits and for Il time they lived a part in 1906. Last spring they made up but the reconciliation was only temporary, for though Townsend seemed good promiser he was very poor performer.
 Last summer they parted for good. Mrs Townsend testified that her hus- band patented many mechanical de- vices, and that his present position is probably. the best he has ever had. Up to the last minute Townsend iii- tended to contest the case and had retained Attorney Joseph l.. Barbour, but in the end determined to let the matter go by default. He has been paying S5 a week for the maintenance oe the child but an application was filed to make this sum S7 a week.

"DlXIE" DEvEREAUx
Fell From Engine and Received
 Painful Injuries.

While on his way home from Long
 meadow pond where he had been
 searching for the body of John Bro-
 phy yesterday afternoon, John Dcvcr-
 eaIx, much better known as Dixie"
 fell of an engine, was struck by freight car and received compoiind
 fracture of the left leg below the knee. Devereaux's right leg was also slightly injured and ne received sey- eral bad bruises on the body but his condition is comfortable and at tile
 Waterbury hospital 1t was stated tos day that Dixie" was doing very welll Just how the accident happened is not known but 1t is thought that Dever- eaux after leaving the pond had hop ped an engine. Some of his friends seem to think that he might have be- come sick while riding on the engine, fell off and was then hit by the freight car. At any rate he was pick cd up off the rails shortly after , o'clock by two railroad men. He was placed on an engine and brought 10 the West Main street station whence he was removed to the Waterbury hospital in Lunny's ambulance. Dev- ereaux was conscious when he reach- cd this city and bore. his injuries with q remarkable display of nerve.
 Dixie" is widely known in this city but of late lie has been living in Beacon Falls where for some time he has been leading the quiet life. For the past two days he has been at Longmeadow pond and has worked hard to locate the body cf John Brophy. He is an excellent swimmer. Some years ago he saved the life of Patrolman Maurice Noonan in Brooklyn. Two husky foreigners had Maurice on the ground and were beating the life out of him when Dixie, went to Matrices aid. and with the aid of the patrolman held of the assailants until help arrived.

A CRUEL JOKE"
Fake Advertisement for the Employ
 ment of One Thousand Men.

Hartford, May 14.-Some Smart Alec played cruel joke" when ht inserted an advertisement in tho Times for the employment of 1,0O( workingmen at good wages, applica. tion to be made to "C. D. Wright. Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at g. Lawrence street. In response to tho advertisement 200 or more men ap. piled at the number named, only tc be informed that nothing was known of MT Wright" or the employment of men.
 No go Lawrence street is the head quarters of the socialist party, and members of that party are of the opinion that the joker" inserted tn, advertisement to compromise the members who assemble at this place to discuss issues and measures. R. G. Oliver. the local secretary of the party. informed a reporter yesterday that the men who made application for work felt very badly when in- formed that someone had fooled them Some of the men came from New Britain and other nearby towns, ex- pending frem their scanty means in the hope of securing work. Tears were in the eyes of some of the ap- plieants when they learned the truth about the generous offer" of "Mr Wright" In addition to the appli- cants who were at the place indicated there were a number of letters ad- dressed to "C. D. Wright" the writ CTS presumably making applications for jobs.
 If the joker" can be located. the Times will be glad of the cpportun- ity to aid in punishing him as he de- serves. The advertisement vas re- ceiyed over the counte.. in the usual way.
 The copy of the advertisement was written on the back of the lower DOT tion of a typewriter circular offer. Ing 70 send e booklet by return of enclosed earc. aEd signed P. W. shu- maker, ser itary.

FILED AN ANSWER
To Suit of Mrs IyDebsu For ihe
 Death of Her BusbaDd.

The republican party, represented by the officers of its city committee U. G. Church, chairman: Walter w Holmes, treasurer, and Joseph H Reid, secretary filed its answer with the superior court to-day in the suit brought against it some time ago by Mrs pRosanna Lynehan for the death of her husband, William, who died from injuries sustained in the col lapse of the floor in Andrew Ken neally's house on Farm street during i republican rally last fall.
 The claims set forth in this answer made everybody smile who read it and someone remarked that it was a wonder the party did not set itself up as the greatest thing on earth. Paragraph two in the second de- fense contains the greatest show ot audacity. It says:
 The republican party, so-called, is a voluntary association, as alleged by l the plaintiff, and is political organ izatlon existing and working for the adoption and continuance of certain political principles, policies and ideas for the public benefit, and is a part of the machinery of civil government of the state, through and by means oi which the will of the people of the state is expressed and enforced in the established form of government, and not for pecuniary or private advant- age of it's members, and in so far as said acts complained of by the plain tiff were the acts of said republican party or its agents, said acts were done by said party in carrying out the purposes of said republican party as aforesaid"
 In her complaint Mrs Lynehan all leges that the republican party is ex- isting for the sole purpose of bene- fitting it's members and some of then more than others, for emoluments oi office and private gain. Attornet O'Neill's reply to this answer is ex- pected to be very interesting.

LOWELL AS AN EDITOR.

'Let me say a word about any presumption that Lowell was a mere figurehead, and that some one else did the work-trust me, for l know. I have worked under many editors, good and bad. Not one of them understood his business better than Lowell, or worked at its details more faithfully. 1 think he hated to read manuscript as much as any man of sense does. In those days there was practically no typewritlng. I think that, like any man of sense, he would prefer to write an article than to read the average 'contribu- tion.' But he had said he would do it, and he did it-up to time, so far as I have seen, careful in detail even to the last detail, and he had no reason to be ashamed of his work when he was done. ."-From Edward Everett Hale's recent book, James Russell Lowell and His Friends.

A MURDERER'S PARADISE.

Switzerland is the murderer's g paradise, if the story told of Luc- chesi, the Italian anarchist and as- sassin of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, be true Lucchesi did not act without reason when he chose Geneva for the scene of his crime, According to a well informed cor respondent the assassin enjoys four meals day, plenty of fresh air ex- ercise and permission to smoke his pipe at the expense of the govern ment. He listens to lectures deliv- cred by professor of languages, en- gages in light work, for which he is paid, and reads the best classical and contemporary authors. It is not surprising to hear that his health is excellent, and that after studying Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Jean Jacques Rousseau he is now prepar- ing to write his own memoirs.
