CoNWCTS NEGRO BURGLARS

Major Jones and William LHnEfOrd
Found Guilty of Breaking
and Entering.
Less than a half hour was required by
the jury in the case OF the state against
Major Jones and William Langford, ne
groes, to find the men guilty Of breaking
and entering, in district court yesterday
afternoon, They will be sentenced by Judge
Lee S. Estelle this morning.
Jones and Langford stole a quantity of
clothing from a tailor shop and pawned or
sold 1t in half dozen pawn and second
hand clothing shops Proprietors Of the
places identified the property. The de-
Tense was based on the contention that all
the clothing was ready made and since
several suits are made Of each pattern of
cloth 1t would be impossible for the state $
witnesses to know to a certainty whether or
not the clothing pawned or sold by the
tive negroes was the same that was stolen
from them. sI4aHpWE

sale house, a 2h ounce package of
essence mentho-laNene. Empty IL into
a pint bottle and fill the bottle with
a homemade syrup composed of one
pint of granulated sugar and half
pint of boiling water. When the syrup
Is cool add IL 70 the menthO -laXene.
The dose is a teaspoonful 8 to 10
times daily or as Required. Give chill
dren less according to age. 1t Is per-
fectiy harmless.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Body Places Ordinance to Pay for
Voting Machines on File.
QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY
Councilman Funkhouser, who Or
dered Them, says He Merely

After more unavailing discussion the city
council tabled the ordinance providing pay
ment for the three new voting machines at
the Tuesday night meeting by placing II
on file. The vote was six republicans
against five democrats just az It was on
the same proposition in the committee OF
the whole.
Councilman Funkhouser, who fathered
the emergency ordinance and ordered the
machines without authority from the coun-
eli. held up proceedings temporarily by
asserting that an ordinance could not be
placed on file except by a vote Of seven
to five Assistant City Attorney Dunn had
NO opinion in the matter and the rules of
the council could not be found so the OBJ
lection went by default.
The debate upon the proposition con-
sisted entirely of accusations and recrim-
nations, which were begun by Councilman
Bridges, who cried Politics, politics" and
was disappointed because no republican
members of the opposition took the trouble
to deny the charge. He succeeded in get
| ting denial out of Councilman Burmester
by accusing him Of promising to vote 70
ratify the purchase of the machines and one
out OF Councilman Davis by declaring that
Davis would have paid for the machines

vALUINe CONDEMNED CATTLE.
Attorney General Gives Opinion to
Cattle Commissioner.

Attorney General NJ. H. Holcomb
has given an opinion to Gen. Heman
O. AveriIl the commissioner on dis
eases of domestic animals, in reply to
the commissioners question relative to
the holding of hearings to determine
the value of condemned cattle.
The opinion says in part:
Before the animal can be quaran-
tined, the fact that it was infected
with contagious disease must have
been determined upon competent phys
ical examination, and before its value
can be determined by the three repre-
senatives. the commissioner must ffnd
that it will be for the good of the
state that the animal be killed and
for that reason must order it 20 be
killed The commissioner and the own
err being able to agree. the determine
ton of the value of the diseased ami
NAL is left to three representatives.
The statute does not provide for
hearing or for wituesses or for a re-
port to a court by the representatives.
or for a remonstrance to their con-
illusions or for an appeal therefrom.
As / have said, the statute indicates
summary action, L think that all that
is necessary is for the representatives
to view the animal and from a physi-
cal examination determine the value"

The Call of Lent

Bishop Chauncey 3. Brewster in the
Connecticut Churchmsn writes:
Lent this year comes early. Let it
not be unwelcome or undervalued. 1t
brings precious opportunities in a sea-
son of comparative quiet 1t summons
TO the outlook from a higher stand
point . wide and luminous view of
the great things the things that last
and are most worth while.
That which we chiefly need il an
increase of true religion The world
is too much with us. There is a kind
OF contentment which threatens char
acter with calamity, when the life In
lived comfortably without reference
to standards of measure of worthy
ideals
Lent comes to shake our compla
ceney and self satisfaction, to arouse
us from dreams or from 3istiessness
to the realities of existence. Its call
Is to take heed to ourselves, to judge
ourselves that We be not judged of
the Lord. to find out our wrong do
ing and shoitcoming. 10 repent us
truly OF our sins and amend our lives,
to come anew 10 the Saviour from
sine. that, howsoever we have turned
aside or wandered. He nay bring vas
home to God; to come closer to the
Lord of life that Notwithstanding past
failure and present weakness We may
truly live in Him.

NEW c. V. BRIDGE
AT NORTH COVENTRY
Iron Work and Orders Are Arriving
for Structure.

The arrival OF several carloads of
iron bridge girders and bridge iron in
Midway, over the New Haven road,
has started the rumor that the iron
for the construction of the new
bridge over the Thames river is ar
irving. This is not So the iron and
bridge Orders are being transported
to North Coventry, on the Central
Vermont railroad, where a large iron
bridge is at present under construc-

The iron and bridge Orders come
from Phoenixville Pa, set up, and
some, which are Of very large size,
are loaded upon two and some on
three flat cars. 1t often happens that
these Orders on their arrival are so
placed on cars that it is in the oppo-
site position from that in which it is
to be installed in the bridge: that is,
on its arrival at Midway may be the
rear end when it is put in place or
vice versa This fact is determined
on the arrival of the cars. If the
Orders are not as they are wanted
at their destination the cars containing
the Orders are sent on what is known
as the track. between the Groton
station and Midway, where they are
turned around
This Y. or triangle track. as il is
sometimes called. consists OF the
tracks connecting the track OF the

angle just beyond the Grouon station.
The car is sent over the main line
track to a point beyond the junction
of the main track and the track from
Midway to Norwich from where it is
switched upon the latter track and
then down to New London, when it is
in the position desired 1t is then
