Calhoun, the train wrgcker, who has been in the Hartford County jail since last Mon- | day, when he was bound over to the |, September term of the superior court by Judge George Griswold in the Berlin court, for placing a railroad th on the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in Ferlin on July 1, was today taken to the Connecticut Hospital for the In- sane at Middletown by Sheriff Ed- ward W. Dewey. Acting under the provision of the statute, the warrant directs that Cal- h{iun be committed to the institution at Middletown until the time of his trial, which will be on the third Tues- cay in September. [Further action will be taken as to the prisoner him- L gelf, upon the opening of the term of i _the court, but the probability is that he will not be prosecuted for attempt- frg to wreck a train, as he was coriginally charged. &ery soon after Deputy’ Sheriff Jamres Clark of Berlin brought Cal- houn to the county jail, the officials concluded that he was insane and Sheriff Edward Dewey, acting under section 1,742 of the statutes, made application for the appointment of a commssiorito examine the man’s men- tal condition. G After a hearing on the application and sending notice of it to State's At- torney Hugh M. Aleorn, Judge Wil- fiam S. Case appointed Dr. Whitefleld N. Thompson, Dr. Arthu: Fmmett and Dr. John F, Dowlinz ‘o eximine Calhoun. They went to the jail yes- terday and found that he is mentally _ weak and defective to such a degree ‘#¢ to make him irresponsible for his acts. A report of the finding was stibmitted to Judge Case of the su- sferior court and he ordered Calhoun's commitment to the Middletown in- stitution until such time as his case is reached on the dockelt for the Sep- tember term. According to the statutes, the ex- pense of the examination, confine- ment, support and treatment, shall be : ;efl as a part of the costs in the | secution against the prisoner, and " pald as costs in criminal prosecutions in the superior court. Placed Tie on Track. As a result of Calhoun’s act in placing a tie on the track, passenger | express train No. 86, which passes J8hrough Berlin shortly before noon | aatty, woula have been plunged down invitation is also extended to the gen- | & nearby embankment on July 1, only | eral public. i tor the alertness of Engineer Rust, | who perceived an obstruction on the track as he rounded the curve near the Connecticut Valley peach orchards {ard succeeded in bringing his swiftly moving train to an abrupt stop. ‘While moving slowly, the engine struck the tie and, when it was in- troduced as evidence in the Berlin court, the marks of the wheels were clearly apparent, The train crew picked up the struction and took it with them Hartford, where it was delivered into the care of James Carroll, special po- lice agent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad com- pany. Railroad detectives were put to work on the case immediately ana, on Friday of last week, Officer Arthur B. See of West Haven, found Cal- houn sitting on the Kensington vias duct, engaged him in a conversation in which he was led to suspect that this was the rain wrecker, and placed him under arrest. He was tried the following day for trespassing, but the case was con- tinued until Monday of this week. Sunday Calhoun signed his name to a written confession which he dictatea to one of the officers, and he also ac- companied them to the scene of the attempt and demonstrated his action of a few days previous. After all this he pleaded guilty court on Monday and then denied all knowledge of the crime, insisting that op- to in someone else had “done this business™ and that he was being wrongfully blamed. He made many conflicting statements and, upon summing up, Prosecuting Attorney William H. Gib- ney, who conducted the case for the state, recommended that he be ex- amined as to his mental condition be- fore being tried in the higher court. Judge George Griswold bound him over, fixing bonds at $2,500. Erects Monument in Cemetery.

A special trolley car left Worthing- ton ridge at 9:30 o'clock this morning with children of the East Berlin Methodist church Sunday school on board, A stop was made at Kensing- ton, where more members who had arrived on the trolley, joined the party and spent the day on the annual out- ing at Lake Compounce. The children, undaunted by the threatening clouds K which they have now grown accustomed to, cheered lustily as they passed through the town. Plan Lawn Social, Officers of the Kast Berlin Village Improvement society are again busy, this time on the matter of arranging an jce cream lawn social to be held in the near future, The society has been inactive for a period of several weeks, and the mem- bers expect that the beginning of an- other series of activities will be patronized liberally, Busy Scene at Post Office, Postmaster Henry L. Porter and his able corps of assistants had their hands full this morning when a lot of more than a thousand letters was de- posited by Leland Gwatkin for the ‘White Adding Machine of New Haven, where he is now employed. This con- cern, which is managed by Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, has recently been awarded the contract for supplying all the adding machines this year for the government. Poor Season for Haying. Farmers in all sections of the town are complaining of the present poor haying season, caused by the con- tinued damp and unsettled weather. One man said today he neéver saw so much hay “standing” the week fol- lowing the Fourth of July., Pulpit Supply at Berlin Church. Before leaving. for the Silver Bay conference, Rev. Samuel A.

On the following two Sundays, the pas- tor will be able to preach,but on Au- gust 2, Rev. Herbert Macy of New- ington will conduct the service. Pro- fessor Nourse preaches again on the following Sunday and oi August 16, Rev. Samuel W. Ravmond of iart- ford will be here.

From an X-Ray photograph taken of Lucy Goodwin's arm yesterday at the New Britain General hospital, Dr. Leroy Austin Havey of Southing- ton, the attending physician, has been able to determine that the child sustained a fracture of the elbow in Plainville News HUMANE SOCIETY HAS ALBRECHT ARRESTED Accased Will Be Charged Wilh Negiecting His Family. WANT NEGRO; ATIACKED WOMAN Alleged to Have Attempted Assauly in For€stville—"Vets” Day at Camp Grounds—Trumbull Employes to Have Outing Monday. Acting on the complaint of the Con- necticut Humane society Deputy | Sheriff W. C. Hart this morning took | into custody George Albrecht, for | whom the police have been look- ing for several days. The accused will be brought into court probably this evening to answer to charges of non-support and neglecting his chil- dren. According to information given Prosecutor M. A. Norton by Miss Mary Lally, the society’s agent who inves- tigated the family’s condition, Al- brecht has not been treating his chil- dren properly and the family is in destitute circumstances. The man’s wife is a cripple and unable to do anything for the children and it is alleged that they have not been properly fed or cared for. The Albrechts lived for a time on the Jordan place in the Scott's Swamp district. Papers for the arrest of the head of the house were issued Sun- day, but when an officer went to the family’'s abode to serve them, he found that they had left during the day. It was subsequently learned that they have moved to Canal street and this morning Officer Hart met the accused on the street and placed him under arrest. Albrecht protested against the ac- tion of the authorities, claiming that he is doing the best he can to sup- port the family. He has been out of work for some time and claimed that he is making every effort to get employment. Officers of the humane society agreed to send Miss Lally here some time before night and she will be the state’s principal witness. It is the intention of the soclety to send the children to some state institution, if possible, as it is claimed their pres- ent environment endangers their health and habits. Complaints have been made that they have been steal- ing from clothes lines and otherwise breaking the law in an effort to get food. The case will be heard before Jus- tice E. P. Prior. Assaulted White Woman. Police Officer Rourke and Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart made.a search of some of the houses in the negro colony this morning in the hope of capturing a strange darkey, who is alleged to have attempted to crimi- nally assault a Forestville woman at an early hour today. They were un- successful in their quest. the fall campaigns, but as he appears The complainant, a Hebrew wom- an, told the police that about 2 o'clock this morning a negro broke into her house. When she got up to investigate the cause of the racket the intruder caught her by the throat and attempted to throw her to the floor. She managed to wriggle out of his clutches and ran screaming around the room. Her assailant be- came frightened and ran away. She described the man as about five feet, eight inches in height but was unable to tell any- thing else about him except that he was black and a stranger to her, One strange darkey was located in the negro district. He was much larger, however, than the man de- scribed by the woman, and also haa a good alibi, having witnesses to being her fall Wednesday evening. Owing to the inflammation he was unable to ascertain, without the use of the X- Ray machine whather or not the member had been fractured. Dr. Havey placed the arm in iem- porary splints today. The injured girl s the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garner Goodwin of Worthington ridge. Berlin Briefs, F. E. Williams of Kensington has returned from Guilford. Julius Woodruff of Berlin will go to Bridgeport this evening to attend the Bridgeport county meeting of the Connecticut association of Rural Let- ter Carriers. Charles Heusted of the Berlin Con- struction company has returned from a trip to Boston, Miss Gertrude Bushnell her uncle, Rev, C. F. Danbury. Mr. and Mrs. J. Scott of East Ber- lin are entertaining their daughter, Mrs. Page and daughter of Water- bury. Frank J. Aspinwall has moved his family from Pasadena, Cal, to Ber- lin, Miss Gray of East Berlin is journing at Cherry Valley, N. Y. A meeting of Mattabessett lodge, K. of P., will be held in East Berlin this evening, G. C. Western of Mt. Vernon is the guest of East Berlin friends. A tank of oil, to be used on roads in that vicinity, has been ceived at the Kast Berlin station. BEarl Gibney left today for Indian Neck, is visiting Bushnell of s0- the re- Dance this eve., Foresters' hall, Berlin. Zeigler's Orch., adm, 25 cts. —advt, prove that he was asleep in Edwara Namen's house at the time of the al- leged assault. The police incline to the belief that the negro does not belong in this locality and probably was walking through Forestville on his way to some other place. The description given by the woman is so meagre and lacking in details that his chances of making a good getaway appear bright. “Vets” Day at Camp Ground. Arrangements have been completed for the observince of Veterans' day at the camp grounds on Thursday, July 23, and the program was &an- nounced today. Veterans from all over the state are expected to take part in the ex- ercises and it is expected that there will also be delegations from the re- lief corps in sevéral towns. Frederick V.

The large number of early arrivals indicated that the attendance at the assembly this year will be the largest in the history of the assoclation. Monday morning will be given up to late arrivals to get settled and the opening rally will be delayed until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Truman J. Spencer of Hartford, president of the association, will deliver the address of welcome, In the evening at 8 o'clock C. W.

Peck, 68 Broad street, 7-11-3dx The Prize Fight in Modern (New York Sun.) The “Benicia Boy” was through eight countles” in England before he unlawfully put up his hands against Tom Sayers on Farn- borough heath in the presence of the nobility and gentry and statesmen of the realm, parliament practicallygaa- journing for the occasion. A forest of chimney pot hats surrounded the ring—everybody has seen the pic- ture of that august assemblage with the two bruisers pummelling each other inside the ropes, very much as Dares and old Entellus did at the fun- eral of Anchises, when Dares was “knocked out” by the Sicilian Fitz- simmons. e affair between Frederick Welsh of les and Willlam Ritchle ot America, staged in the sjpacious British Olympia on Tuesday night, was arranged months ago with the consent and approval of the authori- ties, although a championship of the world was at stake. The glory of the occasion was not all to the favorite son of Wales; the distinction of the management, which persuaded a cler- gyman to act as master of cere- monies and attracted a thousana titled and untitled women to “the scene, must be recognized. Other unreluctant clerg¥men were present, exulting in the contest between the youths in the ring, who wore little more clothing than the gladiatora described by Homer and Virgil. Man. ners have changed with the times ana of late as easily as swiftly. “Big Ben” Brain, Mendoza the Jew, Tom Cribb, the “Tipton Slasher” (one Bendigo), and even John Gully, who came to represent Pontefract in parhament, never dreamed of the day when rich- ly gowned women showing all the charms that fashion permits, woula sit at the ringside and clap their gloved hands to see a quick lead or a clever counter, yearning, too, with a fearful joy to witness a knock- down. We may do things differently to- day, but in spite of the Marquis or Queensberry rules blood still flows in the ring and the beaten boxer writhes on the floor while his destiny is being told off by a speaking forefinger, The ladies who attend these spectacles, even with the clergy to keep them in countenance, must expect to see such finales, for knockouts are popular with the other sex. In Spain the ladies go to bull fights. Why not to man fights with four ounce gloves in England and Ameri- ca? It is a question of taste and inclination, especfally in an age when women are striving for equality with men in s0 many ways. After all, In respect to the trial of strength ana skill there is not so much difference between wrestling matches and other masculine contests in gymnasiums and halls, to which women are in« vited as a matter of course, and box- ing matches as conducted today, A refined amusement the dancing steps and darting blows of such masters of the gentlemanly art of self-defense as Messrs. 'Welsh and Ritchte, both clean limbed, well groomed young men to look at. To practitioners ot the ruder school such an ex- hibition seems effeminate. What must the shades of Jem Mace and Tom Allen have thought of the business at the Olympia? We are not advising delicately nurtured women to attend modern prize fights—the other kind will do as they please; but in a day when barriers between the sexes are crumbling and when old fashioned convention is apt to be more honorea in the breach than in the observance, no one need be astonished at the scene in the Olympia where a cham- plonship boxing match had a strong resemblance to a society event in some parts of the house. It only needs the presence of the reverend gentlemen at such functions to jus- tify the ladies in their new found pleasure. London, however, is not New York. Our prize fighting constituency is not addicted to tall hats and “evening clothes,” and our women have not progressed so far in the direction of equality with men, A woman at a boxing bout in New York is always conspicuous and the clergy resolute- Iy hold aloof. London. “‘chased | of the screw as the ship backed wa. ter. Then, out of the impenetrablo darkness was heard the hoarse shriek of another foghorn than .our own, which, at Intervals of a minute, had been bellowing for hours, 1 knew that another vessel was approaching, and every minute drawing nearer, Then came a shock, sharp though not very violent, and I knew we had been struck. Sailors and stewards rushed past to take up their stations at the boats, and two or three minutes later the huge bulk of the Pretoria, towering above our craft, glided by so near that I could touch her with my hand, while she tore away part of our bulwarks in passing. Then the passengers began to pour up from their cabins in scanty attire, many with life-preservers buckled on. There were no hysterics, and sur- prisingly little evident excitement, but all quietly awaited the end which we thought was near, until in a few min- utes the officers reported that the hole in our side was abowve the water line. It was big enough, however, Lo admit two or three trolley cars abreast and a huge anchor of the Pretoria, welghing five tons, was found embedd- ed in our bow, while the iron plates of our ship were twisted up like shav- ings. For nearly twenty-four hours more the fog horn continued with brief in- termissions, and this evidently got on the nerves of the passengers even more than the shock of the first moment of the collision, Some tried to throw off their nervousness by singing ragtime tunes, others by playing cards, and not a few, I am glad to say, by looking to a higher Power, and remembening that the Father in heaven ruled /the waves. It was a time when many hearts were tender, and any appeal to/their gratitude and reverence went home. Sunday morning, the next day after the accident, just before reaching port, I asked permission of the purser to hold a thanksgiving service, which was readily granted, I never'knew an audience to be more responsive, There were few dry eyes in the. crowded music-room as we volced our grati- tude in song and prayer and brief words of thanksgiving. Tears streamed down the faces of many strong men, and the impressive service:will never be forgotten by any who attended. Going Back to the Old Town. (Cincinnat{ Enquirer.) Dr. Francis E. Clark Tells of When Ship Was Struck. (Christian Herald.) I have often wondered how people would act, how I myself would feel, in the event of a disaster at sea. I had the opportunity of finding out, the other night, when in the darkest hour just before the dawn, the ship on which I had sailed from Southampton, the New York, was rammed by the Pretoria, forty miles from Neéw York. 1 was awakened by the stopping of our engines'and the violent churning When the longing for the summer vacation bears down insupportably— and it invariably comes with a rush ——you think of the little village ‘of your youth, Tailholts, perhaps, or Possum Trot, or Mineral Springs. Any one will do, for they are all alike when the call arrives, and you feel that you can stand asphalt and brick walls no longer. You forget to re- member that much that you anti- cipated for last time never mater- jalized—that one-third of the plea. sure was in looking forward before- hand, and the remaining two-thirds in looking backward. Il be dif- ferent this time. You are assured of that. Anyhow, the spell is on. The desire comes plunging with a crash and a scream, just as No. § used to go through the way station —a weaving, rhythmic motion a few moments before, then a blur and a roar, and once more the poetry of motion in the receding distance. But you make ready and go. And the “Missus” goes, too. You haven't yet reached the point where you can appreciate the jest *of your: friend— that one whom your better-half cor- dially detests—who asks whether you're going for a good time, or in- tend to take your wife. She’'s never been to the old home. You've toid her all about it, however, and now you propose to show her, The twain arrive, and the evening and the morning are another day. Where are the glories, and the myse terjes? What has become of the greatness of it all? It's a fine wind- ing road, all right, only—ahem-—— pretty dusty, eh? Yep, pretty dusty, sure enough! And the old ‘“eriek™ ~~how she has shrunk-—used to be the boy who could throw acrossher was a Jim Dandy, but now you, cam wade at the low places without’ wet- ting your shoe heels scarcely.

And—Oh, shucks! Still, you stirred the old girl once.; That was when you walked thromgh the beech woods, and she spied ,the initials on the scarred bark, “P, B."| they were, and “A. F. H.,” with a double-headed arrow running throughi them. The first were yours. “Why, I never heard you speak of amy ‘A., F.
