YOUNG FREEMAN'S CATCH
One-Armsd Youngster Hooked 5
 Pound Silver Eel.

Pound Silver Eel.
 Howell Freeman, aged about 10, caught the biggest eel taken from the waters of Twin Lakes in long time. He has only one arm to work with, the other being broken and, temporarily out of commission as result of a fall from a tree. One afternoon last week, he borrowed through young Major Felten, tishing-rod belonging to A. V. A. Eel ten, and batting the hook for any old thing that would bite, seated himself on the bank of the lake at some distance from his parents cottage. and proceeded to Ash. Meeting with indifferent suc- cess, he soon tired of the sportless sport and went home, leaving the pole behind him, with line cast off into the water. A little later. the rod was observed skittering away on the surface of the lake, diving and darting about as if pos. sessed of the evil one. Arthur Freeman put out in a boat to rescue the rod, and on getting hold of it, discovered that 1t was being lowed by something out ot the ordinary, and after strenuous bat tie managed to successfully land @ mon strous silver eel that weighed five D, u ids,

FIGHT ON DEATH DAMAGE

Carleton Recalls That Bills Have Always Been Killed and Present
 aw lJnhald

Been Killed and Present
 Law Upheld.
 Hartford June 6-Despite the claim now made that Governor Baldwin is for the minority public utilities bill it is we'll known that he isn't: and whether he is or not, there are two decisions in Connecticut cases which go clearly to show that the ratemaking power it confers on the commission is unconsti- tutional. Governor Baldwin has made it very plain that the State Business Mems Bill was not to hls liking and that he should not sign it, and the minority bill is this disguised but slightly.
 The report of the bill which removes all limit from the damages collectible after accidental death has at last come in from the Judiciary committee and was made to the House, so that the fight against this measure can be made there first. In other sessions such a bill has always been defeated and all change in this law resisted by the representatives from the small towns, who feared the consequences to their towns if it were possible for the he1rs of rich man who was large earner and happened to he killed in highway accident, to collect | heavy damages-such as the widow of | Spencer Trask did i'll New YOlk state not long since. for instance, $65 ,000.

WHERE TROLLEY WILL

Speculation and Deduction Concerning
 Local Trolley layout That Costs
 Nothing, and Is Worth It.
 These speculative disclosures as to the purposes of the Berkshire Trolley people in making their frequent and exhaustive surveys of the village. from one end to the other, and betrayals of the'secret of final layout" of the trolley road here before any layout at all has been decid- ed upon by the railway powers that be, are harmless diversion, even if not particularly enlightening. The "dopS" plans and specifications cost nothing and they are worth it. However, as The News has seen no Canaan trolley dope" printed, up to date, that the railroad authorities do not sheer at as "pure rot" when brought to their atten. tion for confirmation, this paper has as signed to its own trolley specialist the the task of sleuthing out the real plans and purposes of the trolley folks and giving them to it's readers straight, with the assurance that while the officials who are supposed to know something of the trolley plans may pooh pooh" the disclosures, and even go so far as to "pish-tush" them, they will neverthe- less command the attentive respect of the readers, by reason of the specialist s painstaking in the invention of his facts, his marvellous perspicacity in lo eating hidden trails, and his superhu. man capacity for not knowing whereof he speaks.
 Up to the present time The News trolley specialist has unearthed no less than 38 separate and distinct routes by which the Berkshire line is coming into Canaan. All these routes have, as a matter of fairness, been submitted to the railroads hiRh-up officials, who have promptly renounced, denounced, dis. | owned and disinherited every single one oi them. But that was to be expected Everybody knows that when the rail road officials deny anything there's something in it. Only a few sample routes can be given this week. for lack of space.

 Firemen's Parades Shaping.
 All committees on the Fourth of July celebration report satisfactory progress in the arrangements. and the success of the undertaking is assured.
 The business men generally are interested in the industrial feature of the parade, and considerable number of floats" are already assured, to make this one of the most interesting and attractive features ever seen in any remonstration in Canaan.
 The parade of school children appeals to parents and children alike, and there will be several hundred children in line bec 1mIngly costdmed and carrying flags It is proposed to have the various school squads captained by boys from the High School.
 The parade of Horribles, Grotesques, etc., will be a funny feature of the pageant, and some of the impersonations and delegations already in course of preparation will make a horse laugh. It is hoped everybody who can conviently take part in this feature will arrange to do so, costumed in whatsoever burlesqde or ridiculous garb he or she may choose. A wagon-load of young ladies. in all sorts of nondescript attire, will ride on hay rigging in this parade. Ladies wishing to engage space in this feature should communicate with the ladies' burlesque committee, consisting of Mrs Watson Hardenbergh, Miss Margaret Collins and Mrs. O. T 1 Vosburgh.
 Canaan Hose Company No, 1 will be in line with their hose carriages appropriately bedecked. At the head of the parade the Lime Rock Cornet Band will discourse martial music; one division will be headed by the Canaan Oornet Band, aud the line of march, which will cover the principal streets, will not be so long as to be fatiguing ! to the children.
 1 Aside from the ''play picnic" and children's fancy drills and dances, in the afternoon, there will be athletics of an interesting order and in considerable variety. One of tue attractive events will be Il baseball game between teams from Canaan and East Canaan.

NEW REGULATION
ON BONDED ORES
Department Issues Order
Governing Canoeing of
ReWarehouSe Bonds.

The United States treasury department
has issued new regulations governing
operations in bonded smelling ware
houses which is of great interest not
only to manufacturers engaged in smelt-
ing or refining, but also to producers of
lead ore in Mexico who import into the
United States.
Section "a of the tariff act provides
that the works of manufacturers en-
gagged in smelling or refining, or both,
of ores or crude metals, may be bonded
as bonded smelling warehouses. and also
provides that the several charges against
such bonds may be cancelled upon the
expectation or delivery to a bonded
manufacturing warehouse, established
under section % of the act. of the Sctual
amounts f lead produced from the slnelt-
ing or refining. or both, of such ores or
crude metals, and further provides that
the lead may be withdrawn for dones-
tic consumption upon the payment of

tor. which is now located one and one
half miles from the mines, is to be
dismantled and moved to the mines.
where it will be rebuilt and enlarged
to double its present capacity. w. a.
Bonitz, general manager Of the COM
pany. returned from Cutter Wednesday
morning, where he has been preparing
to make the necessary changes. A
modern mining camp is also to be built
at the mines as soon as possible and
no letup in the activity will be made
during the present year, he says.
The plant at Cutter will be left
closed for the present and may be left
in that condition permanently and
plant ct Pittsburg built to handle the
product, of the mines. This is thought
to be the cheaper method of handling
the product ard no effort will be made
to remove the plant to the mines, as
the company uses 90 tons Of sulphuric
acid a day and the haulage of this
quantity would be too expensive from
Cutter to the mines, II miles distant.
The mines will not be closed down,
Mr.. Bonitz says, and the company is
now working from 20 to so men regu-
larly. The supplies for the camp and
for the use Of these men are being.
purchased in Ell Paso.
'The Vanadium company is now in
a prosperous condition. manager b.
nitz said Wednesday morning. There
is no truth in the report that we are
contemplating closing the mines. The
ore is now producing valuable ore
and we are highly satisfied with the
results of our investment"

the duties chargeable against it in that
condition
The new treasury regulations on this
section are as follows: Upon the i'm
portation of lead-bearing ores, the ware
house bond is charged with the lead con-
tanned therein, as shown by assay at the
rate of 1 IL cents a pound, under para
graph Isl, and upon the. Importation OF
base bullion, the warehouse bond Is
charged with duty at the rate of 2 1-8
cents a pound under paragraph 1872,
upon the gross weight OF the bullion,
and an assay IS made thereof for the
purpose. of determining the amount of
the bullion
"As section "A provides for the can
collation. of the bond upon the withdrawal
of the actual amount of lead produced,
and as there is a wastage in smelling or
refining of ores or base bullion, the
assay is made OF the product with
drawn for transportation or expectation,
and to the quantity of lead, as shown by
the assay, is 9klded the amount of lead
wasted in smelling OF refinin- and this
weight is applied to the cancellation OF
the warehouse bond.
IF the product, however, is withdrawn
for consumption. duty is assessed upon
the gross weight of the product at the
Taite OF 2 Is cents a pound, because Sec
iIlOn "A PROVIDES that the lead With
drawn for consumption shall pay the
duty chargeable against it in matt condi-
ton.
Sometimes the smelling is done in one
warehouse and the refining in another
port. The withdrawal for transporta-
ton from the first port shows the gross
weight of the base bullion and duty is
extended thereon at the rate of 21-S
cents a pound. When it arrives at the
port where the refinery is, it is re-ware-
housed, the re-warehouse is then based
on the withdrawal for TRANSPORTATION,
the bond chargeable accordingly and an
assay made of the base bullion at that
port
'The collector at the first port, when
he receives the assays of the first base
bullion, gives credit on the bonds for the
actual lead produced by the smelling of
the imported ores covered by the ware
house entries. based on the ASSAYS of the
ore aforesaid. to which is added the
wastage allowance established for the
smelling of ores at that plant.
When the base bullion so Transported
