Fairfield County News.
Caught By Wardens.

County Game Warden Wilbur Smith, of South Norwalk, and Deputy Game Warden Sidney Wilkins, of Danbury, went to Sherman Saturday night to put a stop to Sunday shoot ing on the part of Italian 1aborers. They located an Italian who was out with a gun, but a dog with the man gave the alarm as the wardens ap- preached and there was a wild chase down the mountain, which ended in his escape, but he was found later in the quarters of gang of labor CTS, where he was arrested. The man was arraigned in Sherman and the fine and costs imposed upon him amounted to $25.41.
 Lost His Memory.
 Charles Swenson, Jr., of Stamford, a civil engineer, lost his memory Saturday night, and wandered away. Swenson read in a newspaper of his disappearance. The article drove the clouds from his mind, and he re- turned at once to his home. My boy lost his mind," said his father. seHe became dizzy, Saturday night after leaving his wife, and he walked and walked, and walked. He lost his identity entirely, and had no idea who he was, or where he was.
 Fire in Stamford.
 Damage to about $500 was inflict- ed by a fire Monday morning in the home of Mrs. Mary Richter, of Stam- aged, and the roof is rendered use less. How the fire started is un- known, but it is supposed to have originated either from a spark from locomotive or from a defective chimney.

AIDERMANIC NOMINATIONS BY

THOUSANDS OF. VOTES NODDED.

Connecticut claims to have an excep- tionally intelligent population. and points to its superior school system, the patent office records. etc, in proof of the c1airn.> Yet, when it came to voting the so-ca1led Australian ballot on Monday in the town elections, sev- eral thousand voters so vitiated their ballots as to cause their rejection from ~the count. It has been said, and with probably much truth, that school chif- dren, old enough to read, could vote these ballots, and even divide their votes between candidates of different parties, without voiding their ballots. Yet men of mature years and of at least common school education, did vitiate their ballots fatally, on Monday, and the most singular fact of the mat ter is, that so far as appears from partial returns, a considerable portion of the careless or ignorant voters were Republicans, belonging to the party which affects to ernoody in it's mem bership a monopoly of the intelligence of the country.
 Possibly, the judgment of such voters on candidates and issues is not of value. If the voiding of their ballots through carelessness, neglect or lack of ordinary intelligence. affords any indication of the degree of their con sideratfon of pending matters, their loss of votes is no loss to the public interest.
 But they are entitled to the right of suffrage, despite their possible or actual deficiencies; it is not just that they should be deprived of their right by technicalities.
 As the so-called Australian ballot is to be used in the important election of Nov. .8th, the Hartford Courant sug- gests, in our judgment wisely:
 Between now and November there should be public exhibitions of the ballot, plain, straight, scratched and every way in which it may be used These 1ife-Size charts should be in most conspicuous places and they should stay there to and through elec- tion day,Fso that every voter who ap breaches the polls can see for himself the way to meet the situation. We do not want a State election carried by throwing out ''defective'' ballots, in cases where the intent is perfectly evil dent.

No Hope Of Adjustment Of
the Strike.
Express Wagon Drivers Refuse to
Abide BY Agreement .-ChauifeurS
and Cab Drivers Determined to
Fight to the End.

New York, November 12.-The strik-
ing express drivers of Jersey CITY
nullified last night the agreement
reached early in the morning between
the New York strikers and the five
continental express companies. That
agreement was condition on the con-
sent of the JERSEY City men to return
to work, and they have refused.
The situation now reverts to pre-
eisely THE position it occupied before
Mayor Gaynor took a hand in the ne
gotiations, with this exception that
the mayor is angry and resolved to
temporize no longer.
New York drivers and helpers who
believed the Jersey men would ratify
the agreement were also ON, thir WA
gons today. But if the International
Brotherhood of TeamSters makes good
its word they will all be called out
again. The chauffeurs are fighting
their own battle and it promises to be
"a bitter one.
Five hundred cab drivers went out
to aid them today, and they all vow
that they will never go back until the
union is recognized.

the Greatest Praise Of the Splendid

To Americus from New York, a lit.

miles Or more, was feat easily ac-
eomplished when a big and very COM
Portable Stevens-Duryea car contain
ing a pleasure party of New Workers
drew up in front of tile Council Hotel

The party We're just two weeks out
of New York and were en- route to
Florida for tie winter They are
taking it by easy stages and kno
the route well, as this is Col. Fuller's
third trip in the same car from New
York to Florida within four years.
Within that time he has driven the
Stevens-Duryea more than 45, 900 miles
in his pleasure trips over the coun-
try.
Col. Fuller is a wealthy merchant
of the big metropolis and spends most
of his time in travel.
Your good roads into Americus
were revelation to u.s. remarked Col.
Fuller when We reached ttie county
line, seven or eight miles out of town,
it was a dream to speed over such a
fine road. Nowhere have we seen
highways that equal those here.
He was told by a Times-Recorde
representative what Sumter county
had been doing for two years in the
way of road building.
cit is the best investment that youh
county could possibly make" replied
Col Fuller. 1T will induce immigra-
ton here, enhance land values and
promote business investments as will
nothing else.
Good roads are essential arteries
of commerce."
The party resumed their delightful
trip to Florida in the afternoon with
the assurance THAT they would again
come this way on their return trip.

The appearance of that locality is taus

at the railroad crossing, so that wa
gons and autos can soon travel that
