Old Waterbury Watch Recalled.

The takers are selling a new toy.
It's a fake watch winder-a cog with
2 ratchet that makes loud click The
idea is to take out your watch and at
tempt to wind 1t, at the same time
working the toy which Is concealed IN
the palm of the hand. The noise 1t
makes sounds like the winding OF
town clock. For the love OF Nike
exclaimed an ex-puddler, now a broker
who was attracted by the noise man

It seems that candidates Tor
the legislature are slow about
announcing themselves. Per
haps they are loathe to tackle
the financial condition Of the
county's affairs, which we un-
derstand are considerably be-

becoming necessary. Our next
delegation in the general assem-
bly, will have plenty OF oppor,

The llyeryman's Concern.

Hiram, noted for his thick-headeo'
ness, lived In a small town in New
York state, and spent much OF his
time hanging around the local livery
stable. One day he was passing
through the stalls, when the propr2'
etor raised 4 protesting voice.
Look here, Hiram" said he, how
many times have I told you not to ap-
proach those horses from the rear
without speaking to them? One OF
these days they will be kicking you
IN the head"
That's all right" was the brave
rejoinder Of Hiram. Il am not afraid
Of It."
"Its not all right" sharply retotned
the liYeryman. II don't want to have
q lot Of lame horses on my han6s."-

"STABMEN" NEWEST
THING IN CRIME LINE
Accused of Having Exacted
Money From Intended Vic
tim for Immunity

New York may have It's gunmen. but
Philadelphia has the "stabmen," II facts
correspond with testimony before Recorder

an alleged conspiracy and City Detective

son killed himself with a revolver he found
under Poilrno's bed
IL was an accident pure and simple. but
Costeilino blamed PiliEno, and determined
70 get" him. lie asked q friend. as yet
not arrested, Go find him two men who
would "cut up PllEno for him.
According 60 the testimony, the go-be-
tween came TO Philadelphia and engaged
Antonio Candeloro, twenty-nine, 337 Kater
street, and John Polla, twenty-seven. 760
South Seventh street, TO do the job. They
interviewed Costellno, got tlb on account
and promise OF $50 when the cutting Job
was done Then they went TO Poligna, told
him they had been engaged TO cut HIM up
and promised to spare him for $780, They
got the 800.
They were seemingly satisfied, but met
with Costelino shortly afterward and told
him that they had not been able 20 hnd
their intended victim. He raised his bid TO
$500 and they opened up negotiations with
Poligno again. They arranged for $50 more
and no cutting, but brought about their
own arrest, for Poligno told the police.
Testimony In the case was given by the
detective and Polgno. The two "stabmen'
were held without bail and Costellino is in
a cell awaiting n hearing. The charges are
conspiracy to obtain money falsely under
threat TO kill. II In said Candsloro has
some other charges in the stabbing line to
answer TO.
