Landlord Shot by BeIlboy.

James F. Toole, proprietor of the Hotel Duncan at 1151 Chapel street, and also of the Hotel Shoreham, at Morris Cove, was shot four times and seriously 8 wounded Thursday night about 11:3O o'clock, by Walter M. Sherman, bell boy, 90 years of age, of 226 Starr street, and as a result Toole lies in St. Raphael's hospital, while Sherman is locked up in police headquarters, hay ing been arrested by Detective Sergeant John Healy and Sergeant Joseph Cohane.
 Sherman has been employed as bell boy at the Hotel Shoreham for the past two months, and Thursday night immediately before the shooting he was directed by Proprietor Toole to do some porter work. The youth objected to the work, and when told by Proprietor Toole that he would either have to do as told or give up his job, the youth, after brief argument, it is charged, whipped the B calibre revolver from his hip pocket, and taking aim. emptied the chambers of the gun of all its bullets but one.
 The most dangerous wound was a result of a bullet which entered the anterior portion of the neck. penetrating the windpipe, and passing completely through. Another bullet entered the back of the neck just to the left of the spinal column, and was removed by the physicians. A third bullet entered the body just back of the right shoulder and burrowed through, while fourth bullet was found on the right side of the abdomen.
 Sherman was arraigned on a charge of assault with intent to murder and was held under bonds of $l5,000 to await the outcome of Toole's injuries. In default of bonds Sherman was locked uD

FARGO HILL"
Relic of Barbarous Custom of Road
 Construction.


 Construction.
 An article in last weeks Berkshire Courier, concerning Fargo Hill, on the road between Canaan and Mill River, sounds so much like Marcus H. Rogers that we are almost tempted to credit it to his pen. It seems to hit the nail on the head, and we reproduce it herewith: {:
 "In the early days the location of high ways often followed the original trails, regardless of better routes near by, which accounts for some of the foolish layouts over rocky knolls, instead of going around them. But we have seen in modern times such idiotic freaks of engineering as the comparatively new road up Three Mile hill. One of the strangest layouts of an old road which is still more strange that it should have remained so long without correction, is that now known as Fargo hill, on the highway from Mill River to Clayton and Canaan. The road runs up aud over a partially isolated rocky knoll. and down the other side, when a very slight divergence in either direction would carry the road around it, eliminat- ing the hill entirely. The wonder is that when there were four paper mills in operation ill Mill River, some of them running day and night, with some other manufacturing, the entire freight ing being carried over that steep hill, no determined effort was ever made to cut it out, which can be done so easily, and at small cost. Even at the present time there is considerable freighting of wood, milk, lumber and other things over the road. Since the construction of a trolley road through the Konkapot valley has been postponed by unavoid- able circumstances, and auto trucks must be depended upon for freight ing, ill case the water power at Mill River is to be utilized, that Fargo hill is the greatest bar to its possible develop ment. It is understood that some parties are taking an interest in having the location of the road changed at that point, and every man with a spark of public spirit in his makeup should give it approval and support. The next step will be to have a state road built, (perhaps from Clayton to Hartsville), as it is on the automobile mail route from Canaan to Mill Biver and South field. But no state engineer would ever consent to the improvement of that freakish layout over Fargo hill. It is reported that the contract has been signed for the building of a state road on the Connecticut end of the line, mak- ing it still more important to cut out this rocky obstruction in the highway"

Control of Wires and Telephones.

The fact of the matter is, the Govern ment already exercises more control over the communications between the people than it should, and to give the telegraph and telephone into its control would quickly rob the people of the right to any privacy whatever in their communications. Politicians and gov ernment "smelle's'' would, no doubt, think it would serve them immensely to have the means of ascertainng what is going on in the minds of people of influence but it would be a despicable usurpation that would end in turmoil and trouble sooner or later.-Camden Courier

Murder and Suicide.

Incensed because his wife. his attended dance the night before and had also concealed bottle of whiskey and would not tell him where it was, William Kovaleski, 33, of Tariffville, shot and killed his wife, Eva, 28, Sun- day morning, and then turned the weapon on himself and committed suicide. Kovaleski shot five times at his wife and each bullet lodged in her body. A sixth shot he fired at his eight-years- son, Joe, just as the little fellow jumped out of second story window to escape the wrath of the murderer. The seventh, eighth and ninth bullets Kovaleski fired into his own breast. one of them lodging in the heart aud causing immediate death. Joe said that, after his father had asked for the whiskey, he walked into the room where he (Joe) was with his mother. He went close to the woman and shot po1nt-blank at her.

GOOD OLD NEWS
Cleaned from the Housatonic Republi-
 can of 55 Years Ago.

The Falls Village "Housatonic Republican" of Feb. 26, 1859, con- tained the church unity item of local interest,":
 "A few weeks ago, we thought we had good reason for saying that there was a prospect of union between the South Canaan and Falls Village congre- gational societies. Now we think we have quite as good reason for saying, that much to be desired object appears more distant than ever before.
 In the Norfolk correspondence the following item appeared:
 ''The friends of Rev. MT. Eldredge and lady made them surprise visit Monday, 14th, which was numerously attended from Norfolk, and by num- Der from Winsted. The Rev. gent and lady had been previously invited out to tea, and at dusk the surprising party took possession. A family Bible was presented to MT. Eldredge, and another beautiful volume to Mrs E. Wm. K. Peck, Esq, accompanied the testi- mollial by suitable remarks expressive of the affection of the people for their pastor, which were responded to by him with an equal warmth and feeling The party was mainly composed of the middle aged of the community, and the occasion was highly enjoyed. Bonds already strong were closer united and brotherly feelings kindled in all Ihearts. Gatherings like this, impul- sive, informal and cordial are the great ol,o 4 should be multiplied upon"
 An "eye witness" thus describes, in the Republican, bad day in Pittsfeld:
 'The last Sabbath in Pittsfield, Mass, was dark, rainy day. In the night the wind changed into the west and blew gale all day Monday, laying prostrate, at about o'clock A. M. the beautiful steeple of the South Church. unroofing large block of stores, carry ing portions of the roof aganist Dr. Todd's church and breaking in several of the windows. Many buildings were made to tremble and many hearts to beat with anxiety for their safety. So terrific a day was probably never known before in Pittsfeld; and it is hoped that another like it is far ill the future.'
 Died. "In South Canaan, Feb. 23, Charlotte J., daughter of Theodore Morris, aged year II months and 19 days"
 For purposes of interesting compari- son we reprint, from the Republican of that date the following items from its schedule of prices in "home retail markets: Potatoes, 34 to 40 cents per bushel; coffee. 12 to 20 cents per pound; 1; butter, 20 to 25; cheese, 8 to 10; pork, 6 to 8; lard, 10 to IS; ham, 10 to IS; beef, to 6; eggs, per dozen, 16 to 90.

 The auto was going slowly, and the driver gave plenty of warning, but the girl at the last moment made an attempt to cross the road and got in front of the auto. She was attended by Dr. s. H.
 Backus, who found that she was not seriously hurt, but badly bruised. A year ago Dr. Schlicting ran down and fatally injured man in South Windsor.
