BROOK in CELLAR
Tenant Thought City Had Pipe
Line Under House.

People come before the city boards
with all sorts of complaints. The
ether evening resident of the north
end startled the commissioners of
the department of public works by de-
claring that large water main that
runs through the cellar of the house
he lives in was out of repair and
that every time the pressure is strong
the joints leak and floods his cellar.
In reply to question as to how the
main happened to be in the cellar he
said he knew nothing about that, add
ing that he was not the owner of
the building, but simply tenant.
The matter was referred to the head
of one of the departments for in
vestigation and when he went to the
place he found a brook in the cellar
instead of a water main and so re-
ported to the board last night. 1t is
evident that the tenant noticed the
mistake himself, too, because he was
not present to inquire any more about

VICTIM IS DEAD
Waterbury Man Will Now Be
Charged With Murder.

Ernesto Quistinno of Bridgeport
who was shot in the abdomen Mon.
day forenoon while standing in from
of saloon at the corner Of North
Washington avenue and Columbus
place, Bridgeport. died at st Vincent
hospital last night. Tony Valetti of
this city who did the shooting was
bound over to the superior court in
Bridgeport yesterday under bonds OF
$4,000. The charge was assault with
intent to kill but when the case
comes to trial again Valetti will be
accused of murder.
The story Of the shooting has al.
ready been well ventilated. Quistinno
made a statement to Captain Arnold
of the detective force Monday night
in which he blames Valetti for the
shooting, and that he came down
from Waterbury to do him an injury.
Quistinno said that Valetti shot him
when he was coming out of a saloon
after first asking him where he lived.
On the other hand Valetti says that
he shot in self defense He says that
Quistinno first dared him to get off
the wagon and take his medicine. AT.
ter Valetti tried to sooth the wrath
of Quistinno the latter tried to shoot
him and drew a revolver. Valetti
says that the reason that Quistinnc
was angry with him was because he
told his brother-in-law, Frank
Archinio, that Quistinno was too
familiar with his wife. Frank Arch.
inio told Quisitinno what had been
said and the latter tried to get even
for what he CValetti) said about him
The police have eye witnesses to
prove that Quistinno first drew a re-
volver on Valetti, and the latter was
the second one to shoot.

Pasquale Palomba on Trial for
ATTEMPTED Murder,

The jury in the superior court to-

der him. Palomba, one morning re.
Gently in house on Chatfield avenue
shot Guggliatti, the bullet lodging in
the abdomen. The men were said to
be room mates and it seems they had
falling out over the loss of money
at cards. The shooting took place
rather early in the morning and Pal
omba had escaped from the house
leaving his victim in agony on the
floor of the room. A rumor of the
shooting had not even issued from the
house and it was by the merest good
luck the accused was captured De-
tective Colesanto happened to be
passing along Chatfield avenue at the
time and he saw man evidently hid
ing in the rear of the old Monitor
engine house on Bank street.
There was no excitement in the
neighborhood, nothing on the sur
face to indicate that a serious matter
had taken place. So it was on gen.
eral principles that Colesanto ambled
toward the hiding man apparently
not seeing him until he was within
arms reach of his back and then the
bracelets were on his wrists In
twinkling. When Colesanto found
later that he had captured a bat
man he considered himself the luck
lest detective in the state. He had
saved the police department another
mystery to solve.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The st Kazemar society gave a
dance in the old hall on Green street
last evening.
Mr. and Mrs James Herman and
son, George, were in New Haven To-
day attending the funeral of the
wife of ex-Chief Wrinn of the police
department.
Patrick Clark and Patrick
Cronin are in Bridgeport working
for the Union Metallic company.
They went to work there Monday
morning.
Miss Esther Udlevitch of Bank
street received bad cut on the face
yesterday. She had large knife
in her hand while running around
the house. She slipped and Willie
endeavorlng to prevent herself from
falling the hand with the knife was
brought against her face and an
ugly cash was made.
"A birthday party was given last
evening in honor of Miss Mary DAILY
at her home 1SS Railroad Hill
street Vocal selections were rem
dered by William Maloney, Michael
DAILY, William Rose and Miss Alice
DAILY During the evening the
Willard quartette, composed of
Robert Corcoran, Frank Robel is,
William Pollard and William
Hughes, sang some very pleasing Sc
lections.
Looks as though the board of
public works really meant business
on the extension of Clark street. At
a meeting last evening Il vote was
passed ordering John Henderson, Jr,
to move his house from Clark street
before June i. Although Mr. Hen
derson has always favored the ex-
tension of the street, providing he
received what he thought a fair
amount of damages. it is not prob
able that he was of the impression
that he would have t. move so
soon. He was out of town this
morning.
Brooklyn with a patched up
team was fortunate to defeat the
Ivys last evening at the Auditorium.
In all probability William Lallier
will tend goal for the boys across
the bridge in the future while Clark
is working in Bridgeport. Schlosser
did well last evening considering
that he never guarded cage before.
The members of The Brooklyn team
as well as the other teams In the
league should get wise to themselves
and 'cut out" the fighting. 1t is
bad enough to mix it up on the floor,
so it should stop there at least.
Having 1t out in the dressing room
is not conducive 20 good sport and
the sooner the players realize this,
the better.
IL you have to suffer from any
of the ills that flesh is heir to, il
may be necessary to see a doctor.
The next important thing is to get

are sure of careful attention and

druggist, fills the bill in this re-
spect.

REMAINS OF JAMES
 HOME FOR BURIAL
NEGRO WHOSE ARREST PREcIPI. HATED SPRINGFIELD RIOTS AN1 WHO WAS EXECUTED FRIDAY, IN HANDS OF FAMILY.

The remains of Joe James, the negro whose arrest was the primary cause of the recent race riot in Springfield, H., and who was hanged Friday, were brought to Birmingham yesterday aft ernoon and carried to the home of the deceased negro's mother in "Buzzard Roost." where wake was held last night.
 The actions of James were, it will be recalled the instigation of one of the bloodiest race riots that has ever occurred in the United States. His crime melted the indignation of the white people of Springfield and a num- Der of negroes were lynched before tho excitement subsided. James was tried and convicted on a charge of criminal assault and sentenced to hang. He paid the espenalty for his crime lest Friday.
 The mother of James has lived in Birmingham for a number of years and James, himself, formerly lived here. His record in the police annals of Birming- ham was quite an ugly one, and he was well known to all of the older mem- bers of the department

 Misses Taft.

Mount Vernon, N. Y, October 26.- ter county cities and towns, w. J. Bryan reached this city in his auto mobile late today and addressed a big and enthusiastic gathering. His re- ception in Mount Vernon, in point of numbers participating and enthusiasm displayed, was a repetition of that ac- corded him at each of the places at thickly settled region. Starting in Yonkers, where he addressed two demonstrative crowds of large dimen- sions in the early afternoon. MT. Bry- an was taken in an automobile into the interior of the county at Tuckahoe, speaking briefly there, and was then whirled Into White Plains, the county seat. On the steps of the old court house at White Plains he spoke at some length on the panic and the rem edies for such panics which the demo- cratic party was ready to provide.
 At Port Chester, on the sound shore, where the candidate was next taken, Mir Bryan and William H. Taft just missed each other. As MT. Bryan's automobile was coming into town the republican candidates special train, from which he made a rear platform speech, was just pulling out of the station. Two meetings were addressed by the democratic candidate here, one of them an outdoor gathering, to the limits of which, despite it's size, MT. Bryan's voice carried clearly.

At the conclusion of the demonstration here, Just as night was falling MT. Bryan's automobile was headed for New York city.

 Atlanta. October 26-The state court appeals today held that municipal or dinances that conflict with the state law which licenses locker clubs are illegal. The decision was handed down in the case of a Macon. Ga, social club against the state, attacking the ordinance of that city prohibiting locker clubs. The state prohibition law which went into effect last January contains clause placing a license tax of $500 on locker clubs" Later the city of Macon passed an ordi- nance making it unlawful for any club, corporation or association to keep or per- init to be kept on its premises any in- toxicating liquors.

At the Gayety.

That the Gayety theatre will be filled at every performance this week is fore gone conclusion, for "The Lid Lifters'' which opened the week there yesterday afternoon is a real burlesque. lively all the way through and just the kind to please the patrons of this cosy house. It starts off with snap that is refresh ing, a good looking chorus displaying an abundance of ginger and very evident desire to please.
 There is no attempt to make musical comedy out of the show. though there is a decidedly amusing plot in each of the burlettas. The lines are witty and there was constant ripple of laughter from the audience, John Joss being comedian of real ability, while Charles Barrett. Jack Davis, Lee Hickman and Ben Wal ker proved able assistants. Blanche Mar tin and Maud Ellston as a burlesque queen and chorister respectively, are ex- ceptlonally lively and received generous applause, while Hattie Mills. both in the olio and in her part in the cast made quite a hit May Van Leer, Margie Web ster and Del Godfrey were also very pleasing.
 The work of the chorus however is the real part of the burlesque. The finish of the opening medley provoked applause sufficient for half a dozen encores and showed taste on the part of the person arranging it. There are dozen catchy songs and dances. the one entitled, 'In The Summertime" showing the chorus to splendid advantage. Bridget Me- Chane' is another good one, though the chorus costumes do not fit the song. The Spanish ensemble of the first act is pleas- ing, while the closing song and dance is the best thing in the show.
 A splendid vaudeville bill is presented Rose and Ellis presenting some really remarkable stunts in their jumping- jack acrobatic work. Jack and Helen Davis do a neat dance on skates, while Walker and Barrett also have a good turn in .. dramatic character parts.
