liquor. He had been working nicely
during the summer and fall, but went
to the state fair, commenced drinking
and kept it up until he had become
practically irresponsible.
The deceased young man was about
% years of age. He was possessed Of
many fine qualities, and had numerous
friends, who held him in high esteem;
but as the result Of thirst for liquor,
would take periodical sprees, and these
generally reduced him to a condition
of morbid recklessness that made him
talk of making way with himself.
Among the many who knew young
Logan and who know his estimable
family, there is much sympathy on ac-
count of this deplorable tragedy.

according to our view his giving the

torious thing connected with any part
of the miserable business. Honor

thing. There is such thing as re-
pentence. Wylie was raised right,
and his telling the truth at last is a
credit to his early raising. What
healthy minded man would not think
more of his action in telling about the
thing afterward than in his criminal
sharing of the spoils?

He has seen lots of them this fall;
but hardly so many as last fall. And
the most surprising thing about IT," he
says, 'is that ticks are to be found on
cattle belonging to intelligent people
who you would not believe would stand
for a thing like that"
Although the Ferguson Bros, are the
only local people buying cattle for the
Charleston market, Messrs. c. F. Sher-
rer, A. Rose, G. w. Sherrery and others
are taking about all the beef cattle they
can get for slaughter purposes. The
competition is quite strong and prices
continue very good.

CITY WON'T PAY FOR DEFECTIVE
 STREET LIGHTS

The new Aldermanic Lamp com- mittee held it's first meeting last night and decided that it will be very much in evidence this year and will pro- tect the city's interests in the mat ter of street lights. Hitherto the lamp committees have not been very active bodies; but this years com mittee Is going to be Ion the job'' all the season.
 At last nights meeting the mem bers discussed the proposition of docking the United Illuminating com pany for all lights that prove defec- tive or go out at any time. On re- commendation of the city engineer, It light poles, so that in case of any light going out, it's location may be taken and the light company charg- ed with the necessary deduction. sS The committee has petitions for apout 50 new lights and when it goes kefore the Board of Apportionment will be prepared to show cause" for all its requirements.
 The new lamp committee includes rity, Cassidy, Walker and Jackson. All were present last evening except Alderman Walker, who is suffering from sciatic rheumatism.
 The work of the lamp committee will be expedited by the use of a large map of Bridgeport worked out by City Engineer McKenna and his half by 12 feet and required ten among other things the location of every electric and gasoline street light. It is the largest map of Bridgeport ever made.

AUT0ISTS HURT
 BY .PREJUDICES
Attorney Goodhart Declares Juries Are Against Drivers
 in Accident Gases

New Haven, Dec. 14.-Has an auto ist chance when brought before a court of justice on charge of run ming down a man? At the close of case replete with interesting de- velopments Attorney Jacob Goodhart, defending Wallace Schollhorn, who is being sued by William Bigelow, a Quinnipiac avenue milkman, who claims heavy damages for having been run down by Schollhorn's auto mobile. declared in his argument be- fore the jury in the common pleas court yesterday afternoon that auto ists when brought into court, have to suffer for the general prejudice which 1uries have against them.
 The remarks caused considerable surprise. Prosecutor Woodruff, for the State, left his chair and appealed to Judge Wolfe, interrupting Attor- ney Goodhart several times The pas sage at arms between the two attor- neys became so heated that Judge Wolfe interfered. Attorney Goodhart, pointed out the fact that Joseph Stoz- ey, the star witness for the plaintiff, testified that he had seen Schollhorn shift his gears at the side of the car, while. as matter of fact, all gears on the car were operated by foot power.
 That the farmer is the man who has no chance was the opinion of Attorney Woodruff when he opened his argument to answer the attorney for the defense. The prosecutor de- clared that Attorney Goodhart had indirectly insulted the jury with his remarks, in fact all juries. The pros ecutor emphasized the fact that farm CTS are caught unawares by these 30-horsepower engines of destruction that go screaming through the coun- try day and night Mir Woodruff closed his argument with the remark that eight miles an hour was an ab- surd rate of speed to be placed as that of the auto driven by Scholl- horn. when it struck Bigelow. The prosecutor stated that Storey's tes- timony was an unfortunate mistake. The case will probably go to the jury today.

 CLINIC PLAN
Board of Health Takes Steps to
 Carry Out Mayor Bucking-
 hams Idea For Protection of Health of Children

That physicians and dentists have taken up the suggestion of Mayor Buckingham relative to the establish ment of public clinics for school chil- dren, became apparent last night at the meeting of the Board of Health when Dr. George E. Ober. president Of the board. announced that letters and verbal messages have been coming to him rapidly signifying the willingness of professional men to assist in the undertaking. The value of Mayor Buckingham's project became manifest with the report of Dr. Florence Sher- man. the medical inspector. who de- date have brought to light among the school children the following defects:
 Defective teeth.

 Further discussion of the proposed clinics brought out the fact that the medical society has appointed a com mittee of Drs. Stevens. Smythe and Gold. They have waited upon pr. Ober to ascertain the ideas of the Health board and they will take up the matter for discussion at the next meeting of the society

It was considered possible today that the trustees would co-oper- ate with Secretary of State Knox to promote the proposed peace court.
 Although Carnegie's gift was unex- pected. it caused no great surprise among the promoters of the world peace movement in Washington. as in recent years he has shown an increas- ing interest in the work. It is known that he has been putting aside other activities to devote himself almost wholly to the cause

He died six years later.
 Finally one day I was walking through Wall street and I saw Will liam H: Stevenson passing on the other side of the street. I shouted to him and he said call me. Colonel. I have, just been out West and it cost me a lot of money to get that title.
