Tho Water That Has Passed.

Listen to the water mill,
Through the livelong day. d.
How the clanking of the wheel
:. Wears the hours away.
Langutdly the autumn wind
StirS the leaves:
From the fields the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves;
And a proverb haunts my mind,
AS a spell is cast:
1.-THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed.
Take the lesson to myself,
Living heart and true;
Golden years are heeting by,
Youth Is passing, too
Learn to make the most of life.
Lose no happy day:
Time will never bring the back
Chances swept away.
Leave no end word unsaid.
Love while life shall last
The mill will lever grind
With the water that has passed"
Work while yet the daylight shines.
Man of strength and will:
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill.
Wait not till tomorrow's sun
Beams upon the way:
All that thou ans call thine own
Lies in thy today:
Power, intellect and health
May not, can not last;
The mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"
oh. the wasted hours of life
That have drifted by;
Oh. the good we might have done.
Lost without a sigh:
BY q single word;
Thoughts conceived. but never nenc.a
Perishing unheard.
Fake the Iroverb to thine heart.
Take! Oh, hold 1t fast
The min viii never Grind

BILLS. EXCAVATION HEARING EXPECTED
 TO WIND UP TODAY
Report of Special Committee Is Not Expected To Be
 Rendered at Once.

It was expected that the hearing in the suit brought by Robertson & Ga vonne of New York against Durkin & Laas, the High school contractors, would be finished late this afternoon. Tn order to save time, counsel had agreed that certain testimony given at previous hearings need not be re- peated.
 Robertson & Gavonne want $14, 900 which they claim is due for work done in excavating at the school. Durkin & Laas filed a counter claim. alleging that the excavating firm did not live up to the contract.
 As Robertson & Gavonne recently failed, The Maryland Casualty Co.,. which furnished a $1o,oo0 bond for them. is contesting the claim of Dur kin & Laas- Owing to the complicated nature of the suit it will probably be a long time before Judge William H. Coniey. Jr., who is acting as commit tee gives a decision.

Dramatic Climax to Series of Plots

Nothing more dramatic in the last few crowd ed days of Holt's life has come to light than the warning of destruction that was uncovered after his death.
 His confession that lie placed the bomb in the capitol at Washington last Friday; his attempted assassination of J. P. Morgan; the growing belief that he was Erich Muenter, alleged murderer of his wife, culinating today i his positive identif- cation-in death-aS Muenter; and hiStSenSational suicide by eaping 20 feet from the top of his cell to the floor, formed series of events which the threatened destruction of the Philadelphia or the Saxonia fitted startling climax.

FIRE
 CHIEF QUITS AS
 TOWN CONSTABLE
Offers Resignation to Select men After Robbery At
 Stagg Home.

Allen D. Judson, chief of the fire department in Stratford and consta- .b1e there, resigned his job as constable this morning. A reprimand from First Selectman Rollin S.. Curtis Is said to be the cause.
 The home of Mrs. Henry Stagg was robbed Monday morning and it is said no. attention was paid to the burglary until Monday evening. Then it was referred to the state police, according to rumors of the alleged reprinand received by Judson.
 It is said that Mrs. Robert Sam mis heard the cries of theA servants in the Stagg home and met Constable Briggs Barnum on the street soon af- forward and informed him of the matter. MT. Sammis is said to have telephcned to Constable Judson 15 minutes after this event, and to have told him the facts. It is alleged no attention was paid to the burglary un- til evening. Then nothing was done.
 According to a report this morn ing, complaint was made to First Se- 1ectman Rollin S. Curtis. It is said he met Judson and severely criticised him. The rumor says that Judson told Se1ectman Curtis he turned the case over to the state police, and that Selectman Curtis was wrOth at this.
 Whatever the words were that pass between the men, the result was the resignation of Judson. He sent it to the town officials this morning. It will be acted upon Saturday night at the meeting of the seIectmen.
 The reason given by Judson is that his fire duties are becoming too arduo1s. He says he has been con sidering resigning for some time, and there is no connection between his res- ignation and the recent robbery.

 OpRyan said he told Holt to go ahead and sleep and that Holt turned over son his side, his back to O'Ryan, and remained there for about an hour. At the end of that time O'Ryan heard a noise in the next corridor. He glanced at Holt and saw he had changed his position so that he was facing the door but apparently was sleeping. O'Ryan, then crept, he says, on his hands and knees, down the corridor to check the disturbance so that Holt might sleep He looked into the other corridor and found there was nothing there. AS he was about to start back, O'Ryan said, he heard a noise that sounded like a revolver shot. ''I ran back to the cell and said to myself, He's done it. Somebody slipped him a gum looked into his cell and didn't see him! said to myself, He might shoot me- So I drew my revolver and went into the cell expecting him to jump at me. It was dark and couldn't see him ripped and fell. When looked down I saw that had fallen over his body"
 Martin w. Iittleton, who had been retained as counsel for Holt, sent the following telegram to Thomas James, at Dallas, Tex:

Identified By Teeth
 The Identification of Holt as Muen- ter came after the men named had made a careful examination of Holt's body. Holt's teeth were carefully examined by Smith, who stated that the bridge work in the upper right jaw was the same as that in the mouth of Muenter. Detective Smith said there was no question in his mind that Holt was the missing Muenter. 1 Hf1her, who lived with M1enter and who drove him to the railroad station the night he disappeared, was equally positive that the dead man was the former Harvard instructor.
 Brown, who had known Muenter. after looking the body over, was agreed with Smith and Hillier in their identification.
