Under cross examination, Mr..
Pitcher told of the brush along Eliz-
abeth street and that at the end there
was a quantity of 1t, so that a team
could not be seen there in winter
/ 1t would not be possible to see there
from any house and a team could be
in the lot near the cellar at the end
of the street, he thought without be-
ing seen. There was some contro-
versy between State Attorney Hull
and Attorney Shields regarding the
affidavit of Gertz, WHO said that the
copper was taken to F'ox's house while
Mr.. Shields was inquiring about the
Fox cellar. Mr.. Shields agreed that
it should be the Fox house. Attorney
Hull asked Mr.. Pitcher about the
Goldfaden house, the witness stating
that he was familiar with the cellar
of the house and told of partitions
there. He was not allowed to testify
further regarding this, as II was not
cross examination. He told of the APP
pearance of the exterior and said that
there was an outside cellar door at an
angle. On the Fox house he said there
was no cellar door at an angle but
there was a perpendicular one. The
state attorney claimed the right to ex-
anime on this point to show that GertZ
had confused the houses and that the
description of the Fox house was that
of the GOldfaden house. where the
copper was taken.

SteriIIzing Fruit Jars

If fruit has once spoiled in a jar,
he same thing will happen again un-
less the jar has been thoroughly
cleaned and sterilized. 1t is not
enough to merely wash the jars, they
should be boiled. To make sure that
they are in good condition, put them
in a pan of cold water in which has
been dissolved a tablespoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder; let come to
a boil. The tops, also, should be i'm
mersed in boiling water, and old rub
bers should never be used.

EXPRESS COMPANY FIGHT.
New Haven Road Said to Favor Amer.
lean Express Company.

Thursdays Middletown Sun said:
Baggage is row being carried over the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company as well as the Ads
ans express. This fact is causing
well Informed railroad men to wonder
whether the New Haven road is to
quit dealing with the Adams Express
company and have the American Ex-
press company do its business, or
whether both express companies are
to be favored.
Some time ago the New Haven road
had considerable trouble with the
Adams Express company according to
reports, and at that time there was
talk of the railroad company going
over to the American Express COM
ny. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Mellen of the railroad company
favors the American Express COM
pany and that it was he who ordered
the American Express train put on.
