Escaped Thief Surrenders.

Shortly after 9 o'clock Thursday morning, Eugene Ballorgeon. who es- capped from New Haven jail last Novem- Der. while serving a sentence of one year, walked into the Waterbury police station and walking up to the desk said {: Hello, Jack. I want to surrender my self" Lieutenant John J. Bergin, who was on the desk at the time, placed the man ill custody, and one of the nerYiest thieves with whom the local police had had dealings was once more behind the bars.
 Ballorgeon is the man who for a while mystified the local police department with his bold robberies. On one occa- sion he hired team and, going Co the freight yards drew up in front of a car load of four, the property of local wholesale house. When he had filled his wagon Ballorgeon drove to the north end where he disposed of his loot to a grocer at reduced prices.

Peter Vermecellini Punished his I4- Years Old Daughter Too Severely.

Peter Vermecellini Punished his l4-
 Years Old Daughter Too Severely.
 Peter Vermecellini, living on the road to East Canaan, was arrested Monday morning by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, on charges of assault, abusive language and breach of peace. He was brought before Justice George W. Ford and prosecuted by J. Clinton Roraback.
 The facts seemed to show that Peter had punished with undue severity his daughter Teresa, aged A, for some in- fraction of the domestic rules of the Vermecellini household, and otherwise offended against the peace and welfare of the commonwealth, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided.
 Peter pleaded guilty to the charge of assault, whereupon the other charges were nolled. He was fined $l and costs, aggregating $7 AS, which he paid.

 As usual you must know. I unused upon the Pilgrim flock
 Whose luck it was to land Upon almost the only rock
 Among the Plymouth sand. In my minds eye I saw them leave
 Their weather beaten barque Before them spread the winter wild.
 Behind rolled ocean dark Alone that little handful stood,
 While savage foes lurlked nigh, Their creed and watchword, Trust in
 God
 And keep your powder dry" Imagination's pencil then
 The first stern winter painted, When more than half their number died
 And stoutest spirits tainted. A tear unhidden filled one eye,
 My smoke had filled the other

AssaiIing Corporations For Effect.


 It is peculiar fact that most of the attacks made on corporations nowadays, and advertised to be in the interest of the common people, are directed against such corporations as have really proven of the greatest benefit to the general public. Steam and trolley raIlroads, gas, electric light, telephone and telegraph companies are getting the back of the axe from the ''trust busters" while the great voracious traffickers on the abso- lute necessities of life are practically un- hampered. * * < *
 We complain of gas or electric light, of brllliancy undreamed of when we were at school, and we are convincing ourselves that we were much better treated when we paid as much for a tallow candle and twice as much for 8 kerosene lamp without chimney. x * We denounce our stream railroads; yet we have the best in the world, the best roads, the best rolling stock, the best equipment, the best accommodations the most courteous, gentlemanly and in- telligent railroad employees on earth. F < * 7# It looks as if the agitators were begin ming at the wrong end, and it is certain that they have not accomplished any thing but evil. A multiplicity of motives might be ascribed to the activity of the muck-rakers who concentrate their venom on the head of an individual, like President o. s. Mellen of the New Haven road, for instance, and it is perfectly safe to say that the attacking parties never showed much zeal Tn the cause of the common people.
 Speaking recently at the annual ban auet of the Business Mems Association of South Manchester, Conn, Governor Baldwin of that state said:
 "It looks to me as if influences hostile to the trade of New England were nov ing in underground currents to paralyze or dismember New England's railroad system, and as if many New England CT has been carried away by these cur rents, without knowing whence they come, and without realizing what they mean. They mean, it seems to me, loss to New England, whether they do or do not make for gain to New York and other states.
 II believe the prosperity of New Eng land makes for the prosperity of the whole country but believe also there are those who do not think so, and would lessen, if they could, our prosperity in the hope of increasing their own."- Brockton Searchlight.

KILLED BY FALL FROM TRAIN
East Canaan's New Barber Disem-
 embarked Too Soon.

embarked Too Soon.
 Andy Bill, New Haven barber, who had leased room in MT. E. s. Roberts village hall in East Canaan, where he had planned to open barber shop last Saturday, died in the hospital at Pitts field, Sunday from injuries received in falling from train. Billleft New Haven Friday afternoon for Canaan, arriving here on the express train. As the train- man shouted out the name of this sta tion when the the train was approach ing the depot. Bill, evidently uncertain of the trainman's words, asked a fel- low passenger if the station was Can aan, and on being informed that it was jumped hastily from his seat and went out of the rear door of the car, As he did not return when the train hauled 1n at the station, the passenger told the con- ductor that the man must have jumped or fallen off several rods below the de- pot, and that he had left his grip in the car. Search was made, and Bill was found lying beside the track just below the switch of the south Y. He had be- come confused and stepped off the train almost before it had begun to slacken speed, landing on the hard road ballast, beside the rail. ...-. ..
 The man was picked up and carried to the depot. Dr. Lee was summoned, who found that the left shoulder was broken, and it was decided to put him back on the train and take him to Pitts field, where he died Sunday night.
 He had advertised through the East Canaan village, that he would open a barber shop Saturday. .-..
