ABANDONS HIS
LUNCH CAN WHEN
STOCKS ADVANCE
MINER ANNOUNCES THAT HE
HAS WORKED HIS LAST
SHIFT.

Yesterday afternoon when the
shift in the various mines came
from work the usual crowd col
lected in front of Harry Epstine's
brokerage office to observe the
closing stock quotations. One of
the men, after taking notice of the
advance in Belmont, threw down
his lunch bucket and exclaimed
that he had worked his last shift.
Investigation proved that he was
one of the fortunate persons who
had got in in Belmont before the
advance. He had invested his saw
ings in the stock which had more
than trebled in value.
The abandoned lunch bucket
seemed to create considerable in
terest and remained on the side
walk for several hours. The
crowd that was present in the
brokerage office rendered their con-
CALCULATIONS to the lucky miner
who after today, will be in a posi-
ton to lead life of ease.

Take it away from him and
bring it here said the teacher.
The offending pin was taken to her
and there was no more trouble
from Arthur.
Presently it was the youngsters
turn to read, but instead of stand
ing up, as the other pupils had
done, he sat still and looked
frightened.

with the reading?" exclaimed the
teacher. If you misbehave any

DIAZ CONFRONTED
 WITH REVOLUTION

Washington, Nov. 10-The United States will demand an immediate ex- planation of the murder and lynching of Americans, reported from Mexico City.
 The American government will take firm stand and will demand complete reparation. It was learned that Sec retary Knox has received long cipher report from United States Ambassado Wilson, at Mexico City. This report was kept secret, this afternoon, but it is known to have contained informa- ton of such an important nature as to cause consultation of the department chiefs.
 Following a conference between Sen or De La Barra, the Mexican consul, and Secretary Knox, it was announced that the United States would immed- lately institute a searching investiga- tion of the lynching in Texas of a Mexican named Rodriguez. If the facts warrant it, the United States will offer an immediate apology to Mexico It is pointed out that Diaz is confront ing a revolution of serious proportions and that this is no time for him to antagoniZe Uncle Sam. If a complete offer of reparation is not immediately forthcoming. it appears probable this afternoon that Diaz will find himself in the worst tangle in his varied ca

City Court Finds Probable Cause and Holds Him Un- der Bonds of $500 for Trial.

Confronted by a mass of circum- stantial evidence gathered by the Fire department and the State police, Frank Balog. the mechanic charged with having fired an abandoned old house in Ellsworth street near Orland street with the intent to defraud the insurance of the amount of his policy $500, was held held for trial in the Superior Court today in bail of $500, after a preliminary hearing before Judge Foster in the City Court.
 Balogs fire took place on Oct. q. Twice the same night the fire depart ment was called to the scene. Two bottles were discovered. one contain ing evidences of having held kero- sine, another turpentine, and a large quantity of old clothing appearing to be oil soaked was also found.
 Witnesses testified to having seen Balog bring the clothing to the place about the time of the fire. Balog was arrested on the strength of the in vestigation made by the State police. He protested his innocence.
 He expected to be able to post the required bond, but went to jail this noon in default of the surety. He was represented by Attorney Charles H. Shapiro.

ELECTION SEERS
 CLEAN UP BIG
 ROLLS ON BETS
John ID. Smarto Said to Have Suffered Losses Az gregating $1,5W.

Losers on the late election are mak- ing their settlements. George w. Finn, the we'll known real Noper- ator, is $500 better off by reason of his having picked Judge Baldwin to beat Goodwin. John D. Smarto is said to be the heaviest local loser, having lost upwards of $500 on Goodwin and Hawley Fritz Hartmann pinned his faith in Hawley and Goodwin to the extent of $500.
 Charles Berger is out $200 owing to his inability to see Baldwin Joshua Fox, regarded by some as barome- ter around election times. saw nothing but Baldwin until the latter part of last week when he listened to poor advice with the result that several century notes he might have pocketed got away from him because he hedg- ed on Goodwin. In addition to this he lost considerable because he foolishly entertained the notion that Hallen and Vollmer were doomed to defeat.
 A member of the Bridgeport fire de- partment is credited with having clear ed up between $400 and $500 by refus- ing to listen to some of his fellows who thought Goodwin was a cinch- As sistant Town Clerk w. T. Mullins has enough laid by to pay for his Christ mas presents by picking Baldwin to carry Hartford by over 1,500. John F. McNamara made $500 on the cleo tion of Hallen. Archie McNeil Jr., showed surprising skill in picking win ners, and as a result made more than the cost of his election expenses.
 M Moody Downer and D. A. Godfrey cleared up $50 each on Baldwin.

JUDGES SHOULD APPOINT COUNTY SHERIFFS SAYS
 SHERIFF SIDNEY HAWLEY
Declares that E. Hills Friends Brought About His Defeat-Would Have Retired at the End of Next Term If He Had Been Re elected Says that It is Better to Be Appointed Sheriff at $3,5O0 Year Than Be Elected at $500 Year.

Sheriff Sidney F. HawIey, defeated candidate for reelection to the office of sheriff is firmly convinced that his defeat was brought about mainly through the treachery of the Repub- licans in the Norwalks because of the part he played in the Hill-Brandegee fight for senator. Sheriff Hawley ayers that the office should be taken from the hands of the politicians and be made through appointment.
 ...It was the Norwalks," said Sheriff Hawley today in an interview with a Farmer reporter, they were treach- erous to me. Four years ago they gave me majority of 736, Tuesday they gave my opponent a majority of HOO, stepping back of 1856 votes. I was lead to believe that I would win in that city by small majority. again. I expected a little opposition on this account. Monday evening every hat shop in the Norwalks were visited by Republicans who made it appear to the voters that l was re- sponsible for the defeating of Hill as senator. I placed too much in the faith and good sense of the people of that city to look for such a change. was defeated because I was loyal to my friend and kept my word"
 Continuing Sheriff Hawley said: 'gThis would have been my last term in office. By the next election I would be over 70 years of age. I believe that when man reaches that age that he should retire. If l had been elected I would have been as fit and capable for the next four years,

 MAJOR B0UDREN
 ON HIS DEFEAT
Friend of the Major Writes Pleasant Letter-Relieved
 of Cares of Office

Major Thomas Boudren, Republican candidate for Representative who went down in defeat with the rest of the Republican State ticket in Bridge port, received today a very pleasant letter from his friend pr. M. R. Lev erson of New York, who wrote as fol- lows:
 New York, Nov. g, 1910. My Dear Major:
 I do not know whether to congrat- ulate you on your election or on your learn which it has been.
 If elected, I congratulate you, and still more the people of Connecticut. If defeated you are to be congratu- lated for being relieved of the cares of office which would assuredly have shortened your most valuable life. The people, however, are to be commiserat- ed for their folly.
 Yours respectfully,

CIRCUS WRECKED,

 A NICE PARADE

(Continued from Page one.) CT was so favorable that a. record was established in the fact that not a single performance was missed save that at Schenectady, due to the fire. But over Sunday repairs were made with such rapidity that the 200 mile run to Buffalo was accomplished and the matinee given "as advertised"
 Every big circus outfit carries two large tents, as a precaution against fire or other disaster. It was an easy matter to shake out the tent carried over from the preceding year and use it until another tent was rushed through.
 The last show of the year was giv- en at Clarksdale, Miss, last Saturday. Three weeks before the season clos ed, cold weather set in, cutting down the attendance. It was so cold, even in the extreme South that the men, suffered with it, and looked with eag- erness for the homecoming trip.
 From Clarksdale, Miss, the jump of nearly 1,500 miles, was made over the Illinois Central to Mattoon, thence over the Big Four to Cleveland, on the Lake Shore lines to Buffalo and then by the New York Central down to connect with the Highland divi- sion of the N. Y., N. & H. R. R. lines
 The four trains came through Brew sters late yesterday afternoon, and reaching Hawleyville set out for Bridgeport over the Berkshire. About 1O:3O the first section had backed in- to a siding on the Berkshire division near East Washington avenue, drop ping a caboose in the yards, and backing up with 21 flats and a sleeper. Six of the eight men in the sleeper had left when a switcher pushing a box car crashed into the sleeper, tore it from the trucks and shot it forward upon a flat car. George Seynor, a monkey trainer and Edward Bryant were lying in their hunks. Several wagons were badly wrecked. The sleeper was hauled to New Haven this morning for repairs and at noon the cars of the train were hauled to the West End.
 The actual distance covered by the circus in it's trip around the country was 14457 miles.

as I have been in the past sixteen. It is my belief that the judges of the supreme and superior courts should name the sheriff, just as they now appoint the clerks of the Superior Court and the coroners. The office should be taken out of politics, it is a bad game. I would be frank in saying that an appointive office would be better at a salary of $3,500 a year salary of S5,500. Under the ap- pointive system the sheriff would not be bound by any party ties and could select his deputies without regard to party affiliations"
 When do you make room for the incoming sheriff % was asked Sheriff Hawley. "Oh, I'll stick around until next June 1st," he said, then I'll pack my belongings and get out" Sheriff Hawley is visibly broken up over his defeat. It is known that he his hands, but could not sniff disas- ter. It was his first political defeat in many years of an active political career. Since the Knowledge was inn parted to him, he has been stormed with personal messages and letters of sympathy and condolence. He knows full we'll that he leaves the office which he has filled so we'll for the past sixteen years, with many regrets but with the knowledge that in all that time he has proven himself a to hear these little remarks on all sides from my friends" said the sheriff, but they seem to hurt a mans feelings.

John R. Hull, aged 85, of 289 Union avenue, once a tutor of langu- ages and nearly half century ago a member of the Bridgeport police department, is gone from his home, and it is feared that as on former occasions he is wandering through the country destitute.
 MT. Hull has a comfortable homo in the East End, where he lives with his aged wife. He also has a son in Bridgeport. Of late years his mind has been unsound, and he has wan dered away several times. Last spring he was found sleeping in the shelter of the angle of a stone wall city for protection.
