the men under arrest, the attention of Sergeant Theodore Johnson was attra cted by the sound of swearing by the accused and loud verbal ob- jections. He went to Main and Commercial streets, assisting Police- man Flynn in getting his prisoners to headquarters. The latter's plaint was only he lost the fourth man and wanted to go back and get him." He was assured a "catch" of three was a creditable record for newly selected supernumerary and advised to let the fourth man go. Charged with breach of the peace, Andrew Germeila of 152 Kelsey street, Joseph Auks of 31 John street and Joseph Mics of 137 Kelsey street were fined $7 and costs each. Policeman Flynn received commendation from his su- periors for tackling a crowd of four unaided and getting three of the trouble makers to a box and checked until aid arrived.
 Even if he did consider 1t "old home week" for co-members of the Home Guard Saturday night in Main street, Thomas Mcdonald learned it is not permitted city sidewalks be blocked or "rough-housing' allowed, also that uniformed city police possess authority in the absence of martial law. Arrested by Sergeant Theodore Johnson on Main street Saturday night for breach of the peace, he was fined $3 and costs. In his defense, he testified, he was imbued with en- thusiasm over meeting a fellow mem- Der of the Home Guard, slapped him on the back and otherwise acted in a manner that might be interpreted as boisterous.
 "I don't mind how he treats me, if you can devise some means whereby I can get enough of his weekly pay envelope contents to meet household expenses" pitifu1ly pleaded Mrs. Will liam Boronski of 223 High street as she appeared as the leading witness against her husband, accused by her of having assaulted her. She con- tended the accused was good in every way, except when under the influence of liquor, that she does not mind his rough treatment and only wants some thing devised to stop his use of liquor Three months under the supervision of Probation Officer Connolly were ordered as judgment.
 Explaining they have an oppor- tunity to go to work in good positions, Wladislaw Stanfanscki, formerly of Beaver street, and Joseph Dichowski of Bristol were allowed to go under suspended sentence with advice to get work at once.

AGED ADVENTURER HERE
George R. Wheeler, 75, Walks From Waterbury-Is Naval Veteran of the Civil War.

Waterbury-Is Naval Veteran of
 the Civil War.
 George R. Wheeler, better known as Cap" a globe trotter and adven- turer of world renown and one of the seven living members of the crew of the United States battleship Rear sarge when it successfully engaged and sunk the Confederate privateer Alabama off the coast of France dur ing the Civil war; passed through this place this morning en route for his old home in South Birmingham, Mass. Int sailor is now 75 years of age, but is strong and robust and takes great pride in his remarkable physical endurance.
 It is as a pedestrian that Cap" Wheeler excells and he had with him authentic statements from practically every country on the face of the globe through which he has walked during the past 30 years. He has just re- , turned to America and says that in times of war it seems good to be back again in the U. S. A. Capt" Wheeler arrived in New Britain at ) , ing walked here from Waterbury, which city he left at 8. From here he started for Hartford.
 The record of the old sea man Is an interesting one. He enlisted in | the United States Navy at an early l age and served throughout the Civil l war. He was in many important en- agreements betwten Confederate | blockade runners and Union boats
 and was later assigned as a member l of the crew of the battleship Rear sarge to which was assigned the ] task of running down the Confederate
 boat Alabama fitted out by England 1 for the cause of the Confederacy. Vividly the old man recalls the sum-
 mer day in 1864 when the kearsage located the Alabama in the French
 port of Cherbourg and later gave l battle outside the three mile limit. 1 Today Wheeler and six other men are the only members of the crew who still live. He has circled. the | globe four times and claims to have
 visited every country in the world.
