 Well, I think he is," replied MT Fitzgerald.
 ''Au right, if you think that why don't you go see MT. King about work and instead of taking up my ti1ne?" said the mayor.
 ''It is easier to see you than it is to see MT. King,'' said. MT. Fitzgerald, t'but I want to tell you that I know King is the real mayor of Bridgeport and that all the teams working on the public streets belong to him. It is not right. Here am one of the big gest tax payers in the city. How do you expect me to pay my taxes if I can't get work for my teams"
 The mayor said he had not the slightest idea how MT. Fitzgerald would ray his taxes.
 Well, it is dead wrong for Mayor King to have all the teams that do city york; said MT. Fitzgerald, as he left the ante-room. T am going to md out from some one why this city work is not more evenly divided among the taxpayers and citizens like my self.''

His bail of $500 was not declared forfeited
 Hector Verret, of Canadian counsel, appearing for Jerome, said his client found it impossible to be in court, to- day. Justice of the Peace Mckee bit 1erly denounced Jerome. Jerome, meantime, was at Norton Mfllsy Vt. where he went, yesterday. after being admitted to bail.
 When the justices court conv A. c. Hanson, joint Crown prosec utor, said he was ready to go on with the case The complainant Milford Ald- rich, who swore that he saw Jerome playing poker near the Grand Trunk Railway station with several report CTS. was present. There was sigh of disappointment when Verret said his client could not possibly appear. The court suggested that bail be for feited-
 That would only hit two of our citizens who went on it, said MT. Hanson The justice then ''al1owed" that he would let the bail stand. But I want to say.'' he cried banging the table with his fist, that we intend to prosecute MT. Jerome to the full eX- tent of the law. He can't come here and play his card games before our children. This may be a suburb town but we intend to enforce our laws. Our relations with the American Bar are cordial but justice must be meted out in this case"
 The crowd stamped and otherwise showed its pleasure. MT. Verret was silent
 Jacob Nikol1, of Sherbrooke, Crown prosecutor for this district and as such the superior of Hanson, appeared, strangely enough, for the defense. In Sherbrooke he aided counsel for New York in their successful flight to get Thaw out of jail and on arriving, last night, he characterized Jerome's ar- rest as an outrage.

 Vaca tion

Frank Enigh, the fourteen year old son of Archie B. Emigh, an erecting engineer of this city and New York, living at 349 Park avenue, a member of the exclusive St. Johns Episcopal church has been missing from this city for the past two weeks and it is the belief of the father, who yesterday re- ported the matter to the police of all surrounding cities that he has been kidnapped by tramps for what money he had in his possession or for some uiterior motive as yet unknown
 The youth, who is of the most arni4 able and loving disposition is a fa- vorite choir-boy in St. Johns w11e his loss has become a, matter of great regret. He is one of four children
 About two weeks ago the boy was sent to visit a grandfather, William Simmons, in Dykeman's, N. Y He had been there but a week when he suddenly disappeared His parents hastened to search the surrounding untrysfde for him. but without avail. Clues secured by the Dykeman police show that the boy was seen a few days later on the road between Carmels and Towners, N. Y, in the company with known bad character, and reputed tramp of Dykeman's. All trace was then lost and the youth has

rot been heard from. When last seen he had about $15 in money and watch valued at S1O.
 A rigid search is being conducted by the police of all Connecticut cities and in Southern New York state. The father will himself lead in securing the country around White Plains, Car mel and Mamaroneck, early next week having secured leave of absence from his concern, the DeLavergne Machine company of New York city, for whom he is outside engineer and consulting foreman.
 The boy is described by the father as manly, well liked by all, easily making acquaintances and in no man ner wayward. He is five feet two in ches in height, weighing eighty pounds and when last seen was dressed in mixed gray suit and knickerbock- CTS.
 He was directly under the charge of choir-master Alvin c. Breu1, in St. Johns church, and a protege of the assistant rector, Rev. F.. H. Bigelow.
 It is believed that St. Johns vestry will tomorrow authorize the hiring of Pinkerton detectives in an effort to locate the child. The Emigh's live in a pretentious house on Park avenue and though not long residents of the oity are socially prominent.

New Haven, Sept. 6-Engineer Au- gust B. Miller, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, had been doing two mems work for a week when he ran his train by a signal at North Haven, last Tuesday morning, and wrecked the Bar Harbor Express at a cost of q lives. He so testified today, at the resumption of the federal hearing before Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord to determine the causes of the disaster.
 The commissions public inquiry was completed, today, and MT McChord announced that the evidence adduced would be used as a basis for the re- port in the near future.
 Engineer Miller told the commission CT that on the night of the wreck he had not expected to take his train the White Mountain Express-on it's fatal run He had been doing the work, he said, of an engineer who was i'll for the week previous but had ex- pected that the latter would report for duty that morning.
 "He did not show up and on ac- count Of the heavy Labor Day traffic they thought I ought to make the run,'' said Miller.
 Although he admitted that he had had opportunity for normal sleep on the day before the wreck, he had not actually slept more than four hours, according to his testimony.
 At the close of the hearing, Chief In spector H. w. Belnap, of the commis- sion, and F. A. Howard, assistant in spector, were subpoenaed to testify as expert witnesses at the "priva te'' in quest by Coroner Mix, as yet uncom- oleted. It was understood that both would refuse to testify on the ground that as officials of the commission the federal law for bade them to do so.
 It was expected that President FL iott, of the New Haven road, would ssue an important statement, late this Afternoon, relative to the action by he executive committee of the board | 'f directors in New York. yesterday, 1 ooking to greater safety for the trav- | ding public in the future and incIud- 1 ng announcement of a radical reform ] n methods of operation.

Ing Hands up.
 Says the watchman, ''I was very scared and did not do so at once. Then I was told: Put those hands up or [ will blow your head off. I was march ed to the corner where they tied my hands behind my back. A gag was forced into my mouth and they then took me across the yard to a, stable There one of the men, seemingly knowing the premises we'll said: Keep him here and if he stirs kill him instantly. I will go and get a circingle.
 ''TheN big man went to the stable and returned with a blanket and some straps. One saw a water tank and said to me, You had better drink as it will be a long time before you are found.' I did not want to drink but they made me. They then tied me about the arms above the wrists and twice about the legs. I lay there for some time working the bands loose. I got the one from my arms mad then cut the others about my feet with pen-knife. During that time I had heard the explosion but did not hear the blows upon the safe with the coupling pin and brake-shoe pins they brought with them in a newspaI CT. When I got to the office the safe was wrecked and everything scattered about the office from the force of the explosion
 The watchman later called assist ance from the Whiting Silver company and with another driver he awakened sent in an alarm to the police De- tective James Dooey, Patrolmen Ke1- ly, KeIIiher, Collins, Bannedetti, Mil Ter and Flanagan as we'll as Chauffeur Cau1fie1d were sent to the scene by Lieut..

 IN TWO LOCAL FACTORIES

Two of the most sensational burg Iaries and safe-blowing which have for years engaged the police were per petrated last night, at an early hour and under conditions which made early discovery almost impossible. fessionalisrn and resulted in a loss of about $500 in all. That a much larger sum was not secured is due solely to the fact that unforeseen payment of employees had drained the vaults of larger am cunts of bai1ls and specie.
 The first to be discovered was a nitro-glycerine safe-blowing in the of flee of the Gulf Refining Company, on Bishop avenue, where the watchnan, O. D. Pickett, Otis street Stratford, was held up at the point of a gun. gagged, walked across a yard and bound.
 The second was at the Baird Ma chine Tool Company, two blocks dis tant on Stratford avenue, where while the watchman watched within, the breakers worked on the outside, thick walls of masonry and steel dead ening all sounds. In this job, iron bars two inches thick were sawed completely apart and the inside of the vault ransacked at leisure.
 Though many puzzling features are presented to the police from the char acter of the work at the two places, yet the opinion prevails today that serni-professio onal cracksmen were re- sponsible, probably a gang of yegg- men who came via the railroad. ac- quainted themselves with local condf- tions and departed in the same man ner.
 It was about 1O:3O o'clock last night when Pickett sat within the lighted office of the Gulf Refining company, which lies beside the New Haven tracks.

Two hundred and fifty passengers on the sound steamer, aMiddletown, plying between Hartford and New York, were taken by means of row boats and a tugboat to the steamer Bridgeport, shortly after o'clock this morning, when the Bridgeport craft stood by to give assistance to the grounded Hartford vessel.
 The MiddletoWn ran aground, from some thus far unexplained cause at 3:30 this morning, poking her nose well into bar just off the shore of Pecks Island east of sNorwa1k, well out of her course. How the mishap occurred has not yet been told, and veteran sound pilots hereabouts are puzzled that the vessel should be so far out of her route.
 The vessel grounded easily accord ing to early dispatches, and officials of the New England Navigation CO. believed that there was no serious damage It was expected that at high tide between and 4 this afternoon the Middletown could be pulled from the bar by several tug boats and a lighter sent to the rescue
