The authorities are perfectly cer- tain that this highway will not be down more than six months before this very company will Ee on the pavement to pieces. Yet the city is helpless to compel the work to be done at the proper time, or to prevent ft rom being done at an improper time.
 The feeling grows in municipal cir cles that the public services which are enormously enriched by their ezclu- s1Ve rights in the city streets are alone among corporations in lacking civic pride, and in a desire to bear their share of civic expenses.
 The Connecticut company takes out of Bridgeport annually 1t is estimated a net profit of s5o00o0. The Gas O., takes profit of $150,0OO or above The Water Company has net earn ings that are not far from s20o,oo0.
 AS a present remedy it is propos- ed that the council shall 20 on record in favor of the passage of public utilities bill and in addition to this amendments to the charter will be sought giving the city power to com pei suitable action where it's highways and bridges are concerned.
 Especially are the aldermen interest ed in securing an act under which, ths trolley company will have to pay ha1f the cost of bridges made necessary Dy Iu0 STCdL 'WelSxII OI ltS C6TA ana at least half the cost of mafntenance.
 This proposition Is especially psrtf- nent with respect to the East Wash ington avenue bridge, which the oars have already reduced to last stages of decrepitude.
 The passage of car onto this bridge is already attended by a shock to every car load of passengers that go over. Each car drops some four inches onto the draw, and the impact is such as to create the fear that the next car will precipitate the structure into the river.
 The action of the Connecticut conn pany and of the Gas Company are two matters that as much as any thing else will solidify Bridgeport for a public utilities bill with full powers for the control of irresponsible public services.

Heboken, Aug. 13-Mayor Gaynor's s condition was reported very much inn proved today. He slept more than eight hours last night six of which and Arlitz dressed his wound at 8 o'clock he was very cheerful and 1oked with them while the bandages were being changed.
 The wound was found to be doing nicely. There were evidences of pri- mary healing and when it was spray ed there were no evidences of infec- ton. Both doctors were highly pleased when they left the sick room and said that the improvement was so great that they were astoniShed. The only danger is infection and as the days go by without any taking place it is considered almost certain that the bullet was comparatively clean and that there were, no germs carried by it into the Mayors throat.
 When the Mayor woke up about o'clock after his first continued long sleep he turned to Sister Agatha, the night nurse, and asked her:
 Where's everybody"
 They are all asleep" was the re- ply.
 .'Ts that SO? I suppose you must have thoughe me rather selfish, too, not to try to keep awake and be com panionable for you. But l feel much better"

CONNECTICUT COMPANY
 REFUSES TO OIL ITS PORTION OF STREETS
Mayor Buckingham and Director Kenny Express Dsap-
 proval of the Company Action
Aldermen Declare Need of Legislation Giving City Fuller
 Powers of Control Over Public Services

The Connecticut Company refuses to oil its share of the streets in the thoroughfares where the city is us- ing oil.
 This announcement was made, this who had confidently expected to make a different announcement.
 Director Kenny said: "The Farmer may express in the strongest possible terms the disapproval of my depart ment Of the attitude of the Connecti- cut Company. Tt would cost this company but $1 500 to oil its portion of the streets in which the city has used oil. It's action would be a great convenience to the public and to the city.
 'The refusal of the company to do it's share of this work points the need of having more power in the city in respect of the control of such corpora tions."
 Mayor Buckingham said: "I fear that the refusal of the Connecticut Company to oil its share of the streets is a line of action that it will regret. No corporation can afford to enjoy the reputation among the citizens with whom it does business or being without CIVIC pride, or ln- terest in a community from which it takes large earnings"
 The feeling among the aldermen and with the mayor is that within a short time something must be done to give the city adequate control over the public service corporations. They are now equipped with certain powers which make them virtually beyond the control of the authorities, and they have the right by law to be lawless within the city limits.
 They may dig up the streets when and where they choose, and it is with greatest difficulty that they can be compelled to restore the highways to their original condition.
 A case in point is the refusal of the Bridgeport Gas Light Company to lay it's pipes in Barnun avenue in advance of the construction of a costly highway.

SENATORS KIND IN BR|BE CASES Lorimer's Friends Feel Sure Upper House Precedent Will Now Be Fol
 lowed. HAVE HEARD SIX CHARGES Not One of Them Resulted in Finding That Senator
 Had Hand in
 Bribery.
HAVE HEARD SIX CHARGES

Washington, Aug. 13.-Friends of Senator William Lorimer of Illinois, whose election is about to be investi- gated as to alleged bribery of mem bers of the legislature are able to take comfort to themselves in the fact that the Senate has never actually kicked out one of it's members on bribery charge.
 The nearest the Senate ever came to throwing out one of it's members for the offense of bribery in a senatorial election was in the case of Senator William A. Clark, of Montana. senator Clark would nave been busted put he resigned before the Senate had the chance to oust him.
 An examination of the records shows that the Senate is quite apt to give the assailed senator the benefit of any doubts that may arise. The Senate has examined into six cases in which bribery was alleged.
 Back in 1878 John J. Inga1ls of Kan sas had to undergo a senatorial inves- tigation. It was alleged that legisla tive votes had been bought in his be- half In the investigation it was dis closed that votes had been bought. h. gals was assumed to know about the buying But it was not shown that enough votes had been bought to throw 
 Charges were made against Elbridge- G. Latham and Warner Miller. who succeeded Conkling and Platt when they resigned in the early eighties. The Senate refused to take them seri- ousIy.
 Ohio has had two cases. Henry B. Payne of Cleveland. a Democrat. was involved in 1885. The Ohio legislature voted in favor of busting him from the Senate. but the Senate of the United States did not see it that way. It was not shown that Payne was personally cognizant of the alleged bribery. It appeared that another party had done the buying of votes. Senators Hoar and Frye, from the committee on privileges and elections, presented a minority report which was a strong and stinging one. They held Payne should be expelled.
 Then there was the case of Marcus A. Hanna, in which two members of the legislature were alleged to have been offered bribes. This came to mo- thing. It did not appear Senator Hanna had offered any bribes himself. James R. Garfield was member of the Ohio legislature. in the state Senate at the time the Hanna charge was stirred up and was investigated by the legislature He took the position that the whole business was in the nature of a conspiracy against the Republican be sustained.
 Tn the case of Senator Lorimer it would seem likely. in view of the course of the Senate in the past. that he will not be expelled. Of course. if it should be shown there was bribery and he was himself guilty of it. the Senate would drive him out. But If it should

ICE CREAM SODAS AND
 SUNDAES TAKE HUMPTY
 DUMPTY FALL TO NICKEL

The price of ice cream sodas and sundaes which went up last week like a rocket, dropped again this. week in the same way.
 The movement to increase the price of this tasty commodity to ten cents, the old price being five cents. was be- gun among the larger Main street dealers.
 For A hours there was a solid com bination from one. corner of the town to the other.
 But when the shops opened the day following many of the dealers in the outskirts had enough of the ten cent price and put their product on sale again at a nickel a throw with. or without fruit syrups.
 '"Too late in the season." was the reason advanced. But the real reason was that some of the dealers wouldn't

BAKERS WIFE PREFERS DEATH
 INSANE RETREAT

Preferring death by carbolic acid 10 a return to confinement in place of detention for the insane, Mrs. Anne lia Block, aged 32, wife of Adam Block a baker, tried to end her life with a draught of carbolic acid at her nome, 6S7 Arctic street, this morning.
 When her husband returned from his nights work at Rams bakery he found her lying partly unconscious upon a couch.
 He called in neighbors who sum- moned the ambulance. pr. KrauSe rushed the woman to the Brldgehort hospital. She had spattered more acid upon her face than had entered her mouth, and it is expected that she will recover.

MISS BARTRAM'S HORSE
 RUNS AMUCK, FALLING

One of the fine blooded horses of the stables of Miss Sarah Bartram. at the old Bartram estate in Brewster street, black rock. ran away and tumbled in- to a trench on top of laborer at Ellsworth street and Fairfield avenue. at s o'clock this morning.
 Giuseppe De Cessare. aged 4o a 1aborer of 7S Herberts street. looked up just in time to see the horse come tOppling over on him. The animal was pulled from the trench and De CeaSare was carried to the sidewalk. where he waited for the ambulance.
 Dr. Krause found DeCesare was suf- fering from contusions of the back. but had escaped other injuries

stay put.
 Here and there a man broke away from the combination. and this fright ened the men nearest to him until they broke away and so the structure fell like an ice cream soda in the stomach of a matinee girl.
 It is probably true that the margin of profit to the dealer in five cent ice cream soda is small. but people would go to the place where the price was a nickel, and the ten cent dealers found that they were losing the advantage that came from trade in other items with people who cretered to cool off with an ice cream bath.
 So walk up boys and girls. Here's your ice cold sundaes for a nickel. just as you always had them. It was against nature that there shiuld be an ice cream trust and there is none.

DAUGHTER SCALDED IN QUARREL SAYS.
 ''DID IT MYSELF"

In a fierce dispute between mother and daughter in a little house in Brooklawn avenue this morning. a kettle of scalding hot water was up- set upon the latter inflicting serious but probably not dangerous burns on the girl.
 The victim is nineteen years old Bessie Genty, an attractive brunette. She was rushed to St. Vincent's hos cover.
 The girl staunchly upheld the moth CT and took the blame upon herself. Though suffering intense pain she re- tained consciousness. 'I did it my self,'' she declared when the surgeon inquired how the accident happened. ' '1 upset kettle of water on myself .''

be shown that some one else had given bribes in the interest of Senator Lori mer, but should not be shown he had hand in it. the precedents indicate he will be allowed to serve on un- molested.
 The disclosures in Illinois thus far which tend to show there was bribery have not made any showing that Sena- tor Lorimer had a hand in the offense. Unless the Senate committee sheds a good deal more light on this point than has been and Senator Lorimer is drawn into the mesh directly the Senate is likely to take the position the offense is not proven and drop the matter. That is what Senator Lorimer's friends are hoping.

WATCHED
BOY NIX POISON
FOR HIS FATHER
SHOCKING TALE TOLD IN COURT
AT THE MOLINE MURDER
TRIAL BY YOUNG LAD.

Rugby N. D., March s.--F'or fifteen
minutes, while Charles Moline was en-
gagged in mixing poison that was in
tended to kill his father and which was
later administered to him, members OF
the Moline family sat in a circle about
the room watching the operation with
out a single word of protest or Curl
osity.
This fact was brought out today in
crUse examination of 12-year- old Oscar
Moline, brother OF the accused, who has
been on the stand since yesterday aft
ernoon in the trial of Charles Moline
for killing his father.
1t was brought out that Charles
Moline was drunk on the night of the
homicide. When Charles returned home
after the killing, he said:
"Oh, now It Is a different, Charlie;
father is dead. Go out and search his
body for the marriage license"
Oscar Moline says there was no word
of sorrow, nor were any tears shed at
the receipt Of the news. 1t is contended
BY the state that the murder was done
to prevent the possibility Of Molines
property passing into the hands Of
third party through the second mar
riage of the father, he and Mrs. Moline
having parted.
