did not admit the transcript in its en-
tirety. He admitted such part as the
witness had been interrogated about,
and affecting her membership in the
Universalist church. That was all that
was asked by the Hodges lawyers. Based
on this transcript, the defense will seek
to impeach Mrs Buckwa1ter and to
raise a question in the minds OF the
jurors as to the woman's credibility as
witness. Otis Hungate renewed his
objection to the reading of portions Of
the transcript They were again over
ruled.
Attorney McKeever sought to force
from Mrs. Buckwa1ter an admission
that it would have been impossible for
her to have seen Mrs. West vomit as
she was leaving the state house. The
witness qualified her former testimony,
but refused to admit she could not
have seen the plaintiff from where she
stood.
She Is So Years Old.
What is your age If you have no OBJ
jection? asked McKeever.
'T am middle aged was the answer.
Answer the question: said Hungate.
Il am 52.''
That concluded the cross-examina-
ton. 1t was II rs and Mrs. Buclkwa1ter
had spent almost four hours under
cross-examination. Otis Hungate took
up the redirect examination. He re-
viewed the Sullivan case and the de-
Tense objected Ruling on the objec-
ton. the court indicated that 1t did not
care to hear an entire review Of the
Sullivan case and would limit further
questioning on redirect examination.

 But the Countess was calm once more.
 And who will then operate on my husband?" she asked. You don't mean that you will rlsk the life of the Count by letting mad man operate on him?" said the doc tor.
 'T must" she said, with the deter imitation of despair. Tt is a quarter past five now. The operation cannot be postponed any longer.
 T will chase those dogs out" she said to the Professor, and she opened the door.
 They are all gone now she said.
 They follow me everywhere" the surgeon walled. That is why they wanted to send me to the asylum. They were just about to come for me when your case came, and of course, an operation goes before everything. l love to operate, if only these dogs would leave me alone. There they are again"
 Once more the Countess pretended to drive them out. The Professor thanked her warmly and began to op- crate, forgetting everything else.
 The operation took about half an hour and the patient was carried back to his bed. Nobody could tell whether he would live or not, but he was evl- dently free from pain and sleeping sOunoly.
 The Countess was on the point of fainting from the terrible tension and excitement and the doctor was at tending her.
 Prof. Chaubert stood in the hall complaining about the dogs, when a tall man entered, accompanied by two assistants. He asked to see the Countess and introduced himself as Dr. Regnier. owner of the famous private asylum. T rushed down here to get hold of poor Prof Chaubert before he could do any harm. He has gone mad very suddenly. I hope you did not let him operate"
 The Countess in a few moment told him what had happened, and Dr. Reg nier, examined the Count, who was still asleep.

The Niagara is the oldest fire com
 pany in the city and needs no defender
 as it's records of siXty-four years
 speaks for itself and Is clearly known
 to all appropriated citizens. True, the
 Niagaras receive $15 for every re-
 sponse to fire alarm and every cent
 of 1t is expended towards the improve
 ment of the efficiency of the fire de-
 partment, and every time response Is
 made to a still alarm the city Is saved
 about $50. In private business that
 would be claSSed as good management
 but in fire department matters in New
 London, in the opinion of one veteran
 officer. and @ sprinlxling of disaffected jealous firemen, it is classed as bad
 management.
 In this connection, it can be said without fear of contradiction that
 every fire house in the city Is not so
 well conducted as is the Niagara The personnel is no better or worse than the membership of any other fire company in the city. Within the memery of the oldest members, and one of the them has been active with the NiagaFas for nearly half a century. there has never been gambling of any description carried on in the house, nor has there ever been d card or pool game commenced in the house on Sun day. That is more than can be said of some of the firemen in other companies, and among those who at present time have their hammers out against the Niagaras. The public attack in news papers against the chairman Of the fire committee and the Niagara com pany is backed only by jealousy, pure and simple, and the newspapers puo- fishing the attacks are being imposed upon It is about time, for the good l of the fire department, that these un- iustihable attacks came to an end

Right here it is we'll, perhaps to say out loud that it would be the height of folly to call out on still alarm any horse-drawn apparatus with such a modern fire fighting apparatus as the powerful American-I1aFrance machine in the city. Here's 8 case in point.
 In the unusually severe snow storm or last Monday evening, with the ther- mometer below zero, during the preVa- lence of a. blizzard, it would have been
 clear case of foolishness and cruelty to animals as well, to have called out a horse drawn apparatus and expect the horses to do the impossible. There was still alarm to the Niagaras for
 a fire in Mahan sreet. The snow was nearly two feet along Ocean aV-
 enue still the Niagara machine sped through 1t for the whole distance and at no time was the speed less than thirty-five miles an hour. That was going some, but the speed could have
 been greatly increased if the limit had not been placed at thirty-five miles
 by the department officials. Still there
 are flremen in New London who are
 jealous of the achievement of that ma chine and the Ntagaras, and actually declare that 1t Is due to favorittSm.
 as the chairman Of the fire committee is a member of the Niagaras, and has
 been for a quarter of a century. Why the jealous f1remen go so far as to say in public print that Alderman Crockett who has been repeatedly appointed chairman of the fire committee by Mayor Mahan by reason of his eff ! ficiency and general fitness for the po- sition, that he is unfit to be the chair man, and even go so far as to declare that they will get him should he be a candidate for alderman from the fourth ward for @ third term. Should Alder man Crockett desire renomination I and this matter may be an issue 1t is a safe bet that he would be returned | by a greater majority than was ever accorded an alderman from the Fourth ward.
