TWO HORSE THEFTS

One Belonging to Charles Barden And
 Second to B. Cleveland at lakeVille.
 A handsome black mare, harness and cart were stolen from the barn of Chas. Barden early Saturday morning, The thief got away safely although his identity is known. Constable Rhoades succeeded in tracking the rig as far as Clayton and there lost the trail. In MT. Barden's barn was found a bundle of clothes wrapped in Chatham paper addressed to William Kettle of Chatham. It was found that a man named Harry Bromley had been employed by MT. Kettle and quit Friday, saying he was going to Great Burlington to paint. There is little doubt as to who stole the horse. The latter was worth about S25O It is described as a black mare about II hands high, weighed about HOO, white stripe on face, two white ankels behind hitched to high spring, side-bar buggy with red running gear and black body, breast coIored harness with heavy tugs out of a work harness with cock eyes.
 Tuesday morning the alarm was sent out that horse and carriage had been stolen during the proceeding night from the barn of Benjamin Cleveland on Town Hill at Lakeville.. Edward Lyman 15 years old, had been employed on the farm by MT Cleveland and had quit 8 day or two before. He was suspected of having taken the horse and after a search the rig turned up at the home of the boy in South Lee. The boy was also there, having made no attempt to escape justice. It was peculiar case and the action of the lad in taking the horse were strange. He will be given an opportunity to explain what he meant by the manouvre.

The efficient correspondent of ashls paper in Sharon at once realized ahe news value of the story npon it's coming to his notice and lost no time in obtaining telephone connection with TEE NEWS and imparting the necessary information.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL

The appointment of Senator -Barnum committee which will formulate a new public utilities law, will give an additional local interest to the future of that measure. Senator Barnum has zSefore him difficult task but one for ~which the press of the state as well as .ais fellow legislators have been unanimous in expressing their sense of his fitness.
 The undertaking which the committee has before it is stupendous one when the fact is taken into consideration that the present public utilities bill, which has been laid on the shelf for the time being, is the product of more than two years hard work by similar committee. Whether the new committee can form ulate satisfactory public utilities law Ill shs brief time at their disposal, befo1 6 June 8, remains to be seen.
 1t is generally conceded however that -&here is at least probability that if both the radical and conservative sup portsrs of public utilities commission can agree upon a measure creating such a body, twill be passed by the House, Upto the present some have favored a more radical measure, others one that is more conservative, In the meantime the Lobbyists in the employ of public utilities corporations have labored ardously to widen this difference and bring about a deadlock in the ranks of the supporters of the commission.
 If Senator Barnum and hls fellow committeeman can frame @ measure upon which the dissenting clements who flavor public utilities law will unite zShev will have accomplished that of which an overwhelming majority in the stale have expressed themselves as in favor.

NEWS FROM THE LEGISLATURE

It is fact that no legislature of the state of Connecticut in recent years -has had the opportunity afforded the present one for exercising a broad, con sstructive statesmanship looking to larger social justice. This opportunity has been afforded by the fact that the proceeding legislature bequeathed to it's successor for final solution number of questions vitally concerning the future welfare of the state. The several able cconmissions appointed by the last legis- Aature to investigate and report on the questions of direct primaries, public utilities, tuberculosis. educational re- forms and reorganization of the penal system, along with other almost equally important questions, submitted their reports to the present congress for final action.
 As a result of these conditions the present legislature promises to become an epoch maker in so far as it may act xayorably or unfavorably upon the bills which have been the result of the in. -westigations by the commissions above referred to. THE NEWS feels it to be ats duty, so far as possible, to keep its readers informed as to these matters which are of vital importance to all ~cisizens. With this end in view there appears in another column this week a brief synopsis of the various measures nov before the legislature, which are therein so simply stated as to be readily aandsrstood whether one has previously had opportunity to inform himself or mot
 Having thus imparted the necessary ;preiminary information it is the pur- pose of THE NEWS to publish in subse- ,queot issues facts of general interest in regard to the individual measures. This with the intention of enabling our read CTS to take an intelligent interest in the tfnSure news from the legislature as it win be reported Ill this paper.

 No screens have been placed at the outlet of the lakes as yet and we are told that the bass have swarmed out of the lakes into Creams Pond in schools. The matter of guarding against this by placing screens at the outlet has been under consideration for some time.
 It transpires that one of the last re.

Judge Burpee had ex- tended an invitation to the governor, knowing the great fondness which the latter had for the lakes, and the governur expressed his wish to be taken there while hopes for his recovery were still being entertained.
