A GIRLS SACRIFICE.


ring to sacrifice comfortable home
and an education in the United States
in order that she might be near and
care for her father in his declining
years, a young Russian girl ID years
of age took passage today on board the
North German Lloyd steamship Koeln
classed among the deported.
The young girl with her father were
steerage passengers on the Koeln
when it arrived in port last week 1t
had preceded her and her father to
America about three years ago and
that they are now settled and finan-
cially comfortable in a small city in
the northern part of the state The
father and little sister were sent for
and the brothers were in Galveston to
meet them.
1t developed, however, that the
father was a sufferer from trachoma,
consequently debarred from entering
by the laws of the country. Desiring
that his girl should have the advan-
America which were offered her, the
father accepted his fate and agreed
to return.
1t was here, however, that the little
miss asserted her own say so in the
matter, and after a short spell of tears
as the result of her disappointment
she set her little foot down and in
fluent Russian informed the inspectors
through the interpreters that unless
her father could land she would not
do so either, but would go back with
him and remain at his side until they
were separated by death. The father
pleaded, and so did the brothers, but
the pleading was in vain and the girl
had her way and this afternoon she
stood at the rail of the Koeln and
waved farewell to Their brothers
and her dreams of new life, while
behind her, his eyes swimming in
tears, stood the parent for whom the
sacrifice was being made.

Fancy Serenade
For Steve Boucher
lBernard J. Heating, Jr., Els
corts German Band to
City Clerks Office for
Parting Musical Farewell

Seeing that you're about to join the
great silent majority, I'm going to give
you a serenade," announced Bernard
Keating, Jr., yesterday afternoon to
City Clerk Steve Boucher. Thereupon
Mr. Heating rounded up a German
band, which was otting outside, and
chaperoned the horn blowers into the
city clerks office. Mr.. Boucher was
seated at his desk, putting a string
on his finger so he wouldn't forget
that Wednesday was the day he de-
cided he would knock off work few
hours and get married.
Then the musicians marched in and
with a few preliminary ourishes began
to play, when Monday Falls on Tues
day, Molly Dear" The city clerk was
! surprised and he thought at first that
William Fox Mullins, assistant town
clerk had palmed off another joke.
He didn't suspect young Mr.. Keating,
who has himself been accused of hav-
ing entered for the matrimonial stakes.
So Mr.. Boucher listened gravely
while the band blared through it's
repertoire, including such appropriate
tunes as winter and THAT Mesmer-
izing Mendelssohn Tune" Larry Gill
breezed into the office, and led the
musicians in the style which brings
home the money at oil outings of the
Ninth District Literary and Chowder
Club. Anxious that his friend John
NJ. Donnelly should not be neglected,
Larry escorted the band to the tax
collectors office where, to quote our
rural correspondent, "a most enjoyable

ing StratfOrd
Mo Public Thoroughfare at
This Point but Jury
Holds Railroad Response
BILE Because Fences Were
Down and 1t Had TOler-
ated Trespassers = Rail
road Fears Precedent and
Appeals Case.

Thirty-one thousand dollars dam
ages is the sum awarded to Joseph
Kometz. aged seven, of Hollister
Heights, Stratford, against the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
as the result of an accident at Thomp-
son avenue crossing, Stratford, In
which the boys legs were cut off by
! a freight train.
Incidentally the court establishes the
novel principle that the railroad Is
Irresponsible for accidents at crossings
which are not legal crossings. but
where the public has established the
custom of passing over the tracks.
The principle Is a revolutionary one
! in railroad law and the big corpora
[ tion will take an immediate filed and
fight the case to the end.
The verdict which awards the
/ Stratford boy s31D00 damages, was
reached yesterday in the United States
court of the District of New York.
The boys ia ther, Michael Kometz, of
Hollister Heights, Stratford, brought
suit for s76, 900.
The accident occurred on April 27,
1903. Young Kometz and another boy
attempted to cross the tracks at noon.
at Thompson avenue, near the STRAIT
ford avenue trolley barns. Though
there is no public thoroughfare at this
point, the railroad had left it's fences
. down for years and the public was in
the habit of using the crossing place.
It affords the most convenient means
by which the Hollister Heights resi-
dents may reach their r. F. D. boxes
on Stratford avenue.
When Kometz and his companion
tried to cross the track, two trains
were approaching. The smoke from
one hid the other and the boy fell
under the wheels of a freight train,
both his legs being cut off at the
knee. The Bridgeport Emergency hos
pital ambulance was summoned, but
was out on another call and the in
jured boy was treated by private ply
sicians
Suit was brought for s75, 900 damages
some time ago by the boys father.
through Attorneys Wellman, Gootch 81
Smyth of New York, in the United
States district court of New York.
In their defense the railroads at
torneys declared that a decision for
the existence of this liability would
compel railroads to give warning at
innumerable highway crossings where
counsel established the points that the
fences along the tracks had been left
down at Thompson avenue for eight
years or more and that warnings had
been given on Sundays and holidays,
the railroad thus taking official notice
of the habftual passing of the Hollis
ter Heights residents at this point.
Judge Holt left the decision of this
. very important point of law to the
jury. The jurymen found that the
railroad Is responsible and fixed the
damages at s31. 900. The railroads at
torneys gave notice that an appeal
will be taken.

OPEN VERDICT IN
DAVENPORT MURDER
The CorOner's jury in the Muen-
ter Case-Evidence Is
Recorded.

At the inquest conducted by Cor
oner Rudolphs of Scott county, over
the remains of Claus Muenter, 422
Dittmer street, Davenport, an open
verdict was returned after several
had testified in the case. Mrs. Muen-
ter and her step-son, Rudolph Bran
denburg, who killed Muenter, were
the principal witnesses. Others we're
policemen and neighbors who had
visited the house Immediately after
the killing took place.
Brandenburg is still being held at
the Davenport police station and as
yet no charge has been lodged
against him by the states attorney
His hearing will probably be held
tomorrow morning. according to q
statement issued today by his at
torney, George ". Scott.
According to testimony received
last night, the revolver which was
used by Brandenburg, was given to
him almost three years ago by the
man for whom he was working at
that time. He had carried the gun
since that time for his protection,
and it so happened that he was car
ryfng it when attacked by his step
father Monday night.
