They pleaded not guilty to buying copper wire which had been stolen from the New Haven road between Jewett City and Plain field on March 20, 1907. To com- plete the jury George o. Stead and Fred Tyler were secured by the depu- ty sheriff as talesmen. The copper wire is valued at $258.

He then drove to Jewett City, put his team up and went to Putnam. On his return from the cellar to the junk shop Fox was there but didn't say anything. The witness testified to knowing MT. Gordon well, as he saw the accused at the home of the &C., cused's brother at Danielson, where he often visited. From Putnam the wit ness telephoned to Gordon about the money for the wire. but was asked to wait until the matter was settled, as the police were on the case Later he came here and talked with Gordon at his house about it. Gordon said that they had to drown" the wire and could get nothing for it, as the police had kept after them. He gave Gertz s10 for his expenses. He val ued the wire at $100, and was to get .14 cents a pound. He testified that he met Gordon at Putnam, where he bar gained with him for the purchase O. the cooper which he was to steal that night. There was a man with Gordon then whom he identified as Davidson. The bond wire was cut with large tin smiths shears.

ENJOYABLE CANADIAN TRIP.
Rev. Philip Massicotte and Philias Dion
 Saw Many Interesting Sights.

Philias Dion of Merchants avenue is showing to his friends a highly in- teresting collection of postal cards, which he secured on his recent three weeks trip to Canada. The views are well chosen and give one fine idea of the country through which MT. Dion passed. After leaving Boston he went to Lisbon, N. H., and from there to Montreal. After two days there, he went by water up the St. Lawrence river to Quebec, although there are railroads on both sides of the river. In both places he visited the public buildings and other places of interest Later he/ went to Tadousac. up the Saguenay river by boat to Chicoutimi and thence by rail to RobervaLon Lake St John. Roberval Is the last point on the railroad and beyond it the In- dians roam. There Is an Indian camp just beyond Roberval, but when MT. Dion was there it was almost desert ed, as the red men had all gone out for the winters hunt. The travelling dis
 tance from. Norwich to Roberval is $40 miles. MT. Dion had a chance to shoot some rapids, but declined.
 MT. Dion also made a trip from Lewis. opposite Quebec, up the other side of the river. to some extensive woodland which he owns. The whole journey was an enjoyable one for MT. Dion. and for Rev. Philip Massicotte, curate of the Sacred Heart church, who accompanied him throughout.

Cell Management.

When we being a new kind of work our cells are like -untrained children. They don't know which way to turn and need to be directed at every point. After awhile they will know the way themselves Then we can leave them and go do something else. But In the beginning they need to be watched. That is the reason all new work is hard. and all work which we have learned to do easy and pleasant. That is the reason that the newer and harder the work the more we need to pay attention. And that is the reason that when we don't pay attention things get twisted and tangled and we feel tired and disspirited as result.
 No matter how wayward or unruly the cells they can be trained to move in any direction we wish. They can be taught to enjoy alarming stockings as well as playing the; plano. They can be made to find the same pleasure in running five-finger exercises that they do in playing beautiful harmo- ny. It js all matter of training.
 Of course they won't want to. They'll cry and coax and wheedle, and say they didn't ever do that kind of work before and they don't want to learn to do 1t now. Then if we have no backbone at all we'll let them off, like the mothers who wiring their hands and bewail their lot because they can't manage their five year old children. If We have a little backbone, we won't let them off altogether. but we'll start them at work and then leave to get through with it the best they know how. We won't stay to watch the or deal, because we aren't sure we can manage them, and anyhow it's a nuis ence to be bothered.-Katherine Quinn in October Nautilus.

MoNTvILLE's NEW INDUSTRY.
Old Dye Mill to Be DemoIished-Get
 ting Ready for Reservoir.

y The Connecticut Reyes Process Go. is almost ready to clean out it's ma- chinery and material from the old dye mill on the Oxoboxo in Uncas- vile. The officials of the company will try to be out and have all the machinery in, the new location in Palmertown on October l, but this de- bends to a large extent upon the weather.
 Excepting the special machinery re- quired for making the commercial board turned out by the company, all the rest of the machinery belongs to the new paper mill, or rather to the Bigelow Hartman Construction Go. This includes the two boilers now in use.
 It has been decided to take out all that is of value in the mill after the Reyes Process Go. gets through and then to rage the building.
 The Bigelow- Hartman Co. has now large reservoir on the site of the old dye mill. The water level if as now schemed will be some six feet above the present level of the wooden bridge below the mill, this height giving an immense volume of water. The com pany has no fear of shortage during dry season. as it will take the whole supply of Oxoboxo during the entire year.
 On the south side of the reservoir, which will really be a large lake, there will be no necessity for artificial construction, but on the opposite side it will be necessary to build long, quadrant shaped dam of concrete This construction will commence at the west end of the present bridge of the Central Vermont spur track and swing around along the foot of the present embankment for a long dis tance until the natural high bank is reached.
 The hoisting engine has been placed on top of the heavy scaffolding built west of the Central Vermont tracks and preparations made to commence excavating the sand and filling ma terial in the bank there.

I which he had started from Brooklyn, l N. Y, with and gone to Liberty, N :, peddling fruit, but was obliged to give that up and started from Providence. He picked up some junk on the way and sold about $25 worth to the firm on the first visit here. From here he went to Central Village, where he used to live, and that being Saturday night he left his horses and went to Provi- deree to visit his family There he met Lewis, who was peddling medi- cine, and they returned to Central Village Monday and that night cut a quantity of bonds from the tracks north of Plainfield. These were sold at Dan- ielson for about s85 and they went to Putnam. There MT. Gordon was met on the station platform. The witness said he intended to steal quantity of copper from the New Haven road that night and asked Mir. Gordon if he wanted to buy it. MT. Gordon said he didn't care where it came from as long as he could make dollar. In Daniel son 13 cents pound was received for 1t and MT. Gordon agreed to give IA. On cross examination the witness said he felt pretty sure that Davidson was the man with Gordon at the Putnam station.
 Directly after the agreement Gertz and Lewis rode on the train as far as Jewett City with Gordon. They left there and went up the track and start ed in to cut the bonds, having the shears with them. They worked until daybreak and left the bonds under some bushes near a road, to be gotten later. They returned to Jewett City and took the train for Putnam to get the team.
 At this point court adjourned for the day and will resume the case at 10 o'clock this morning. This case was worked up by Detective Hazelhurst, who for over a year was chasing Gertz and Lewis and got them only after persistent work.
