Telephons 642-2, Baletin, |WILL INVESTIGAT President Cary of Board of Trade will Name Someone to Visit Belleville and Look Over Books--Mr. Schuler + Considers Proposition Satisfactory. By arrangements made last week, Mr, Schuler, owner of the Knicker- bocker Manufacturing Co., now located at Belleville, N. J., came here Wed- nesday for the purpose of a further conference with the executive commit- tee of the board .of trade relative to the moving of his plant to this city. He arrived here at two o'clock, and in company with Secretary H. W. Tib- bits and "Nicholas Tarrant he was again shown the available sites about the city, including the Bacon Arms building off Franklin street, which he considered on his previous visit would be satisfactory for his business, Later in the afternoon he met with the exccutive committee of the board and there were about a dozen mem- bers of the board who were also there to meet him. At this session the prop- osition which the annual meeting de- cided should be made to him was ad- vanced by President Cary. It was to the effect that the board would pay his moving expenses, not to exceed $300, and would pay him $50 a month for two years, from the time he start- ed the factory here, the payments to cease if he should give up the busi- ness, This proposition was satisfac- tory to Mr. Schuler, who invited the board to make a careful investigation of his books and references, which will be done in g few days.. President Cary was empowered to name some one to make this investigation. This was in- vited by Mr, Schuler, who had previ- ously stated that he did not demand any new capital, as he is a man of money and intends to increase his business, The items in the proposition are simply because other cities have offered them and to secure the loca- tion of the business here Norwich had to at least meet it. Glens Falls, N. Y., was anxious to get the plant there. Mr. Schuler will undoubtedly take' the Bacon Arms buflding. All the im- provements he desired there are nec- essary, states the owner, C. W. Com- stock, and he will gladly make them. Everything now hinges on the report from the Investigation of the books and references. These being found satisfactory the plant will come to Norwich. Mr. Schuler returned on the seven o'clock train. SPANISH WAR VETERANS HAVE INSTALLATION. Deputy Commander Lounsbury of Bridgeport Did the Work—Frank Q. Smith is Commander.

On Wednesday Chief Murphy recelv- ed a complaint from a Taftville wo- man to the effect that her daughter bad run away and he was ed to bring her back, if possible. The girl worked in the mill at Taftville and, pretending that she wanted to be out for a time, drew her pay and went to Wester! The mother was all broken up over the affair and said the girl had gone away on Tuesday. Chief Murphy asked Captain Bransfield of Westerly to be on the lookout for her there and he succeeded in locating her and ghe was held until Policeman Hen- derson went after her. The girl is elda Belhumeur, aged 16, and with her was Amelia Gingras, aged 15. The girl claimed that the reason she went away was that she had work and had trguble at home which she could not st¥nd. She is large for her are, and vears the chevrons of a bugler at one of the forts, but claims that she has not written him since before Christ- mas. Policeman Henderson brought the girls here on the last Westerly trolley ocar. Licenses Granted. The county commissioners were in session here on Wednesday -and grant- ed liquor licenses to H. J.

MANY NEW STEPPERS _ON BROADWAY COURSE Some Clever Brushes, Unexpected Speed Being Shown by Several— Much Interest in the Racing. The curbstone audience along the Broadway snow course gathered early Wednesday afternoon in good numbers and saw & number of thilling finishes driven by over a dozen of Norwich horsemen. 1t was a disappointment not to have Constable Gus Lambert down from Occum with Hal D, but Hal D, is a business horse most every day in the week, and he couldn't be | spared from his job Wednesday. Gus | has asked off for him this afternoon and expects to go down, if the track I) ids out, L. L. Chapman's Cascade was also missing, but there was some classy horseflesh in front of the cut- ters and these kept the snow flying in a number of hot finishes. Among the best known horses seen was Thomas H. Wilson’s pacing mare Roan Lady, which her owner drove up without the hobbles on. Roan Lady | failed to get a race, as she ripped off a shoe the first time down, and when | Mr. Wilson had had this put on and | returned to_the course, all the drivers had left. He sent her down a couple of times without a break, and Mr. Wil- son predicts that she will throw snow to the best of them when he brings her up this afternoon, with the hob- bles, as he intends to do. Owner Mi- chael B. Ring led the bunch in a brush lor two with his handsome Cresceus colt, and Dr. George Thompson of Taftville captured a heat with his chestnut roader. rank J. Atchison of Fast Great Plain sprang a_surprise with a bob- tailed bay, that had the speed if it did look as if it had just been taken out of pasture, After a few warm- ing up trials, he beat out the bunch in a driving finish at the head of the Little Park. Edgar Brown slid along behind a smooth going trotter that it took a good one to beat; A. T. Gard- ner had out a black clipped trotter, and Raymond Sharkie was down from Taftville with a fast gray stepper, and Henry F, Parker had a world of speed in a coal black trotter. that was one of the showiest horses seen. Some of the best brushes were be- tween the trotters belonging to Thom- 4s J. Wattles with the honors going to the chestnut mare driven by Thomas Mullen, while Mr. Wattles held the reins over a black clipped horse. Among others who took part In brush._ es were Nr, N. B. Lewls with a black and Henry Norman with a bay. LADIGS’ CHARITABLE SOCIETY. Whist Given in Buckingham Memorial and C. A. C. Rooms a Big Success.

TOrial of Addie Burns Has Been Started in the Superior Court—May Burns T of Her Experience. ‘When the criminal , superior court resumed on Wednesday morning the jury was sent out to continue their de- liberation in the case against Dr. Dimon. At 11 o'clock they returned with the statement that they could not agree. Judge Wheeler sent them back and told them they must regch a verdict. At 12.15 they returned, and through Foreman Gilbert L. Hewitt a verdicp®of not guilty was given, and i was accepted. It i3 stated that the jury stood nine to three for acquittal on the first ballot. Dr. Dimon was manifestly aftected by the verdict. iHe first hastened to hug and kiss his wife, after which he thanked his lawyers and received the congratulations of his friends, after which he with his lawyers left for New London. The verdict was not a great surprise in the court room. For failing to obey a summons, Hen- ry Main of Ledyard was presented by Deputy Sheriff Draper. He clalmed that he was told that the case might not come up for trial on the day set, and ‘or_that reasou did not apeare in court. He was given some good ad- vice by Judge Wheeler about obeying a summons. Burns Trial Started. A jury was selected for the trial of Miss” Addie Burns. State's Attorney Huwl sta‘ad that he had made out a new information against the accused, charging the woman with statutory rape January 19 and 26 in 1907. At- torneys Stoddard and Goodhart & New Haven, who appear for the accused, asked to have the case continued unii the May term, as they had not had time to consider the new complaint. This was the cause of an argument, and the scate's attorney sald he would withdraw the new information and try the case on the old one. Judge Wheel- er denied tha motion to postpone and ordered the case to proceed. The selection of a jury brought four challenges from the defendant’s law- yers, and owing to deafness George Geer was cxcused for the term. At- torney Goodhart spoke to the jurors relative to any prejudice to a keeper of a house of ill repute, and asked such to stand up. Judge Wheeler called a halt at that, and informed the attorney that the court would attend to that. The accused was not put to plea tagain, having pleaded not guilty last week, § The complaint was read to the jury ahd charges the woman with stat- utory rape in New London in January, 1907, by enticing May Burns a girl aged 15, to her house, with the aid of John McNulty of New Haven. The accused was in the court room with her sister, they having lived here at one time. ' There were many women in the court room, well dressed and at- tentive to the testimony, while the benches and chairs were all filled. The first witness called by State's Attorney Hull was May Burns, who is 17, and made a good appearance on the stand. Her parents were in the court room with her and the mother was much affected during the after- noon. She is the daughter of Michael and Catherine Burns of New Haven, and said she was born in Danburv. She tol dof working In the clock shop and stated that she met McNulty one night in January, 1907 She releated about_his arranging for her to go to New London to have good employment and of their going. She stated that they were met by a man named Nash in New London who escotted them to the Burns house. She was caressed and petted by Miss Burns and put to bed. She was given new house clothes, such as was worn there and named Flor- ence Harris. Miss Burns told her she looked like another girl who had come from New Haven. The gir] told of being ravished in the house and of being treated by & doctor for her injurfes. She said Miss Burns did nothing for her, She relat- ed her sad story to the jury. Upon cross examination she denied having ever gone by the mame of Florence Stetson. She told of living in Vine street, New Haven, for ten years. She knew Florence Dewey and went with her some. She did not know the girl was not virtuous. She also knew Stella Crowell. She had no male acquaint- ances and denied having stayed out night after night until the hours of one or two and being with men. She told of working in the clock <hof two or three weeks after New Year's, 1907. Shortly before leaving she met Mc- Nulty.” She denled having trouble with her people, The testimony was long drawn out because of the many Interruptions and objections by counsel. The attorneys for the defense objected to nearly all the questions put by the state, but in most cases the objections were de- nied. The girl is g0>d looking and answers in gentle voice and gives evidence of good bringing up. At one point Attor- ney Go.dhart in cross examination asked her a questicn and as she replied she_started “Beg your pardon, but—" “You needn't do it” chimed in At- torney Goodhart, whereupon Judge Wheeler cautioned the attorney tha she need not be denfed the privilege of being polite. Attorney Goodhart was told by Judge Wheeler several times that he was pursuing other than the proper course, Judge Wheeler at one time replying t0 his question stated that he could hardly say he was addressing the court properly. Court was adjourned at 4.30 o'clock until 10.20 o'clock this morning. OBITUARY. George Coit Ripley.

Coming of Hadley's Comet. PBxtensive preparations are being made by Harvard astronomers for the studying and photographing of the Halley. comet, which, after an absence of 73 years, will be visible through a ]‘)eowurlul telescope somie time this win- r. The German government has offered a prize to the sclentist who deter- mines its exact position in the sky.|/ At Cambridge plans are being made t photograph the sky every night. Ple- tures will also be taken at the Harvara observatory in South America, where apparatus is being used to photograph the Morehouse comet. The comet has been named after Halley because he predicted that it would appear in the year 1758 and although he had been dead 15 years the comet did appear as he foretold. The history of the world indicates that this comet appeared at the following : B, C. 87 and 12, and A, D. 66, 218, 295, 373, 451, 530, 608, 684, , 837, 912, 989, 1066, 1145, 1222, 1361, 1378, 1456, 1631, 1682, 1758. Astronomers say that the comet is moving toward the earth at the rate of 500 miles & minute over an elongat- ed orbit 2,800,000,000 miles from the sun. The comet may only appear faintly, but if so it will do contrary to its past history. By the middle of the summer it is predicted that it will be poseible to see it with a small tele- | scope. About May 15, 1910, it will be within 23,000,000 miles of the earth, when it ought to be visible to the naked eve. The tall of the comet will extend 1.000,000 miles across the sky.— Boston Trar seript. Hains’ Opinion.

It the reader has a “bad back” or any kidney ill and is looking for relief and cure, better depend on the only remedy endorsed by people you know. Doan’s Kidney Pilis relieve quickly— cure permanently. Norwich citizens testify to this. Here is a case of it: Mrs. Margaret Cox, living at 191 W. Main St, Norwich, Conn., says: “My son procured Doan’s Kidney Pills for me from N. D, Sevin & Son's drug store, and their use proved of great benefit. I had felt miserable for some time on account of disordered kidneys. Mornings when I would arise my back would be so painful that I could scar- cely straighten and at time I could not do any work. Troubles with the kidney secretions bothered me, their action being t0o_frequent and other- wise unnatural. I was subject to dizzy spells. and more than once came near falling on this account. My face bloated and there was also a percepti- ble swelling of my feet and hands. I tried various remedies and doctored a great deal but nothing gave me any rellef. I was about discouraged when I began using Doan’s Kidney Piils but I had only taken a few doses when I had reason to place great confidence in them. The use of one box put an end to the lameness in my back, restoring my health and benefiting me in a gen- eral way. ves me pleasure to tell others of the curative powers of tiis excellent remedy.
