within the city limits. So said Rev. James H. Soldant, of the Connecticut Temperance Union, in a sermon in South Norwalk, Sunday evening The speaker said sixty to eighty per cent. of the poverty in Norwalk is due di- rectly to drink. And nobody has come forward to dispute the assertion. He said further that $1,020, ,5e0.47 was col lected from the liquor fees in Connec- ticut in 1913. The total cost of keep ing the poor in during the same year was $1,o4s,393. and eighty per cent. of this poverty, which cost more to maintain than was received in liquor taxes was caused directly or indirect ly from the saloons. He made the as- founding statement that Connecticut in point of population. leads the Uni

 Patrons of the Bay State Street Railway Company have neighbors in misery in the southeastern corner of Connecticut and the adjoining part of Rhode Island. The report emanates from Stonington. Conn. that the joy of Thanksgiving was tempered for those who use the Shore Line Electric Railway by the thoughts of the neces- sity of paying higher trolley fares. The nickel has become so firmly es- tablished in a majority of 1ocalitities as the basis of car fares that the pub lie apparently considers it an outrage upon it's rights for the roads to think of asking more. even though the gov erning authorities decided that the advance is justified The Interstate Commerce Commission investigated the situation in the Shore Line Elec- tric Railway, radiating from Westerly, R. l., and then let the new rate be put in force, but a protest by the peo- pie has been voiced. Regarding the nickel, a statement explaining the fin- ancial hardships of the Connecticut road in question says that the coin ''has grown constantly smaller in its purchasing power, until it has abso- lutely failed to meet the demands made upon it. The theory that rail- ways can go on forever without ad- justing their rates to meet new con ditions has been tried out pretty thor oughly with the result that very large percentage of them have gone into the hands of receivers and one of our great financial journals published recently the statement that over fifty per cent of the Street railways in

The delightful habit of 'bombing' an enemy is growing upon our impul- sive criminal population. Familiarity with exposives may account in large measure for this desire to substitute death by explosion for extinction by the method of the revolver but it must be confessed that the change is not one that apeals to the victim. Being strewn round the landscape by dyu- amite is such a messy sort of death that none of us would choose it. The gentleman, who had in mind to rail- road John D.. Archibald into eternity by such a medium, therefore must have been seduced from his more log ical weapon by the success of aliens recently in the use of the explosive bomb. They have set a bad example and it is being folfowed.-Ansonia Sentinel

ecuting attorney, and had not quali- ned as such prosecuting attorney. by filing bond with surety, to the ac ceptance of the first selectman of said town of Killingly in such sum as he had fixed. conditioned for the faith full discharge of his duties And said office of prosecuting attorney was va cant on that date. And the said Ar thur G. Bill should, before signing such complaint, have given a bond to the town Of killingly in such sum as ne shoud fix, in accordance with an act creating the town court of killing ", passed by the general assembly at its January session, 1897.
 To this, MT. Bill answered that his previous bond as prosecuting attorney neld good until such time as his suc- cessor be appointed and duly quail fled,
 To uphold his contention that the bond must be renewed as he had prey iously set forth, MT. Darbie cited the casea of Farrel ys. the City of Bridge port, which went to the supreme court quoting from the high tribunal de- cision in that case as follows: As he accepted and exercised the office under the new appointment, he could not claim that his tenure of the office was continuance of his original tenure.
 Judge Woodward ruled in MT. Dar- oles faVor on the point at issue quashing the proceedings. The court directed MT. Dagenias to take away the beer and make deliveries to the cons1gnees, requiring each of them to certify on the order that it had been delivered by order of the court. And thus ended the first act in the un- expected little court drama
 An hour later, the beer was taken rom the cell where it has been locked up for about 10 days and loaded on a light truck. which was driven over n hno1f,-B -.I4 street and delivered into his place of business under direction of Deputy Sheriff Charles B. Aver, who made the original seizure.
 When the kegs and cases were all inside the building Sheriff Aver in- knowledged the acceptance of it and MT. Dagenias replied in the affirma- tive. Thereupon Sheriff Aver turned to his men and ordered them to seize 1t again, which they did. immediately loading it upon the truck and carting 1t back to its cell in the police sta-- ton, where it will remain until the hearing next week.
 The second seizure was a brand new expedition against the beer and other drinkables in the lot. After the upset in court, Mir Bill fmmediateIy went out and qualified. drew a new com piaint and ordered the beer returned and seized again In discussing the bond matter MT. Bill later said he gained the impression that he was fully qualified from the text of the or dered of Former Judge Harry E. Back appointing him prosecutor until such time as his successor had been ap- pointed and qualified, MT. Bill suc- ceeding himself, as he has for years past, in the office.
 As a diversion the affair of the morning was amusing and interesting, but it has not brought to issue the points on which the matter of pony expressing must finally be decided. Some further surprises are promised by both sides in what is becoming a locally famous case.

l
 The T. R. Sadd company of this Efty has lost its appeal to the superior ieourt from the valuation placed on I3ts property by the town assessors on Ethe list of 1913.

written a letter to Mayor Daniel P. Dunn giving the roads reasons TOT taking off the south-bound passenger train in the morning and the north bound train in the afternoon. He states that while the company de- plored this very much, it had to do it as a business proposition. He states that none of the passenger trains on the southern division o fthe road pay their expenses The cause for this he attributes to business de- pression, the war, increased use of au- tornobiles and now the jitney service. In taking off these trains there are leftlest three passenger trains between Palmer and New London.

SEIZED BEER RETURNED.
And Then Seized Again, After Atter- ney Darbie Had Won Point on Legal Teehnieality.

The load of beer, kegs and cases, seized from a pony express in charge of Elk Dagenias, while en route from Putnam to Danielsont on June 19, and since held at the police station here, was given an outing Wednesday morning. Whether or not this tender solicitude for its well being improved it's quality any was not ascertained by any party, for at the conclusion of its trip in state, 1t was again locked in solitary confinement to await further procedure, which may not be expected until next week.

Dagenias, up- set for the time being the arrange ments for the hearing on the seized wet stun and earned a brief joy ride for the beer With the town court new Darbie, immediately following the reading of the complaint, sprang a real surprise by entering a plea in abatement in which he set forth that when Arthur G.
