Conn. Co. o.LocomotiUes Are Badly Damaged
Thieves for Second Time in } Weeks Loot Engines; Two Boys, Both Under l6, Arrested for
 Recent DepradatiOnS

For the second time ill three weeks, locomotives owned by the Connecticut Go. were badly damaged Saturday afternoon by thieves who stripped the engines of many valu- able parts. Police arrested two boys, both under Is, on an incorrigi- bility charge. Both are said to have admitted stripping the engines. Most of the stolen parts were re- covered.
 Even though the missing parts were found, it is estimated that damage will amount to $500 or more according to Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens of the detective bureau.
 Two weeks ago, two locomotives, owned by the same firm, were dam- aged to the extent of $l,000 when boys stripped them of valuable equipment. The youngsters planned to sell the stolen parts as scrap metal.
 The stripping was done Saturday afternoon while. the locomotives were on the tracks near Freight street.
 Patrolman Joseph Lovallo re- ported that an attempt was made Saturday night to break into the Brake Service Station, on Water town avenue.
 Salem Thomas complained to po- lice that thieves had attempted to break into his garage, at 167 West Liberty street.

AUTO OWNERS
 JAM REGISTRY
Today Last Day to Get Numerals; Record Is Set
 With 2l,5OO Applicants

Hundreds of applicants for 1888 automobile registrations again jammed the Waterbury branch of flee of the motor vehicle department on Watertown avenue as the dead line approached. Today is the last day on which 1887 registrations can be used. Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach today instructed ali policemen to arrest drivers of cars which do not bear the 1888 inserts in their markers after tonight.
 A new record for registrations has been set at the local motor vehicle office. Mrs. Alice Bradley. supervisor of the office, said that 21,500 regis trations had already been given out, not counting today's. This compares with a total of 19,500 on the same day last year.
 All records for business done at the office in single day were smashed Saturday when more than 5000 registration renewals were giv- ell out. This eclipsed the record set Friday, when 2,TO0 registrations were issued. The previous record was 2,400, set in 1894.
 As crowds continued to throng the office this afternoon, it was indicat- ed that Saturdays record might be equalled or beaten. It was also in- dicated that total registrations iS- sued would be 2,000 or more greater than last year.
 Car owners who failed to have their registrations renewed must. un- der the regulations. return their marker plates to the state. Many were being turned in at the local office today, while hundreds more are expected tomorrow.
 There were scores lined up outside the office long before the regular opening hour this morning. All day long a ceaseleSs stream of applicants poured into the office.
 Introduction of the semi-per- manent marker plate system in the state last year means that car own CTS keep their same number plates when their registrations are re- newed. However, they are given new registration certificates and small plates marked "38," which are in- serted in the license plates.
