ExMayor Thayer 8;:;« to Norwich Socialists on Subject.: ‘With an attendance that filled their room in the Stead building to over- flowing, ex-Mayor Charles F. Thayer £poke on Thursday evening upon The Municipal Gas and Electric Plant 'be- fore a meeting of the Norwich branch of the socialist party. It was a com- prebensive statement of the history of the acquirement of the plant and the results arising therefrom that was lis: tened to with the closest attention during the two hours in which Mr. Thayer held the floor, After he had finished speaking a number of points were also brought up by questions that were asked. Albert Boardman presided and introduced the speaker. lix-Mayor Thayer took up in detail the process by which the plant was voted for and things brought to a place where the price of $797,329.52 set by commission .ag the price at which the city was to buy the plant. This being considered too much, the common council's committee offered $375,625, based upon the appraisal of the plant by the city assessors at $250,- 860, which the company declined. The contention over the city’s liability on the $400,000 worth of bonds wag car- ried to the supreme court of errors, which gave the decision that the city was not liable for them, having bought only the equity of redemption, but the bonds belong to the private company, and any time the city might want to drop the plant the bondholders would have only the plant to look to, This was followed by the commis- sion deciding that the price to be paid by the city should be $190,000, above the bond indebtedness. The private company had never made the city any ter-proposition and at once start- The net result of this to the city was that it spent $28,832.35 in lit- igation, by which a reduction of $199,- 260 was obtained, the city getting the plant for $198,167, plus the cost of lit- igation, or, in round numbers, $227,000, ed in the which was their capital inv ‘busines To the consumers the immediate re- sult was a reduction in the price of - from $1.75 to $1 and then to In it three yea the plant had made, he sald, the 5 per cent. charged off for depreciation and a further 5 per cent. profit, showing $62,117.75 profit over depreciation, and an actual 51,000, which s nearly enough to pay off what has been used for additions. The speaker closed with an explana- tion of the contract with the Uncas Power company, by which clectricity secured at 1 1-10 cents per Kkilo, which had been costing 4 per kilo, and the five-year contract could be renewed for 10 years and then for another 5, when the city had the op- tion of t: g the plant at a price to be determined by arbitration.

Just before 6 o'clock Thursday even- ing a single team belonging to Joseph Connor & Sons broke down in front of Perkins' candy store on Main,street, a back wheel collapsing under a heavy load of grain in bags. When another wagon had been secured, the load was transferred and the damaged team re- moved. Singing as Evidence, Apropos the prodigiously long era- tions of the Maoris, writes a corre- spondent, it may amuse your readers to know that only a little over twenty years ago my uncle, a judge in New Zealand, was obliged to issue an order to the effect that “in future singing would not be taken as evidence” in his court. It was the constant habit of the Maoris when pleading a cause to sing long and quite poetic sagas. ‘As these generally began with legends of their remote ancestors, sometimes many hours, even days, would be spent before the point (possibly a trivial one) was reached. There is some- thing Gilbertian in this idea, but any old New Zealander could vouch for the | facts. The Walrus’ Defenses. A full-grown walrus will weigh as much as 2,000 pounds, a mountainous mass of muscle and blubber. He is armed with tusks of ivory, sometimes two feet in length, and when from his upreared bulk these formidable weap- ons are plunged downward upon an enemy they are as resistless as the drop of a guillotine. Such a thick layer of blubber lies under the skin that he is practically clad in an armor impervi- ous to teeth and claws altke. So, un- less the bear 1is greatly favored by luck, ke has little chance to overthrow his antagonist—From St. Nicholas. In1891 when Smith's Presoription Store first began to do business, it was the lead- ing QUALITY STORE of this city, and has been ever since. It has been a steady leader-ship, too, no ups and downs—no change of pol- icy—no change in management—just a steady gain. This, coupled with the fact that our store has been four times enlarged, and isn't quite large ehough now, is the possible that QUALITY and FAIR DEALING count with our people. strongest indorsement A record like this means much to our customers.

Acting upon complaint, a warrant was issued on Thursday by City At- torney Hall, charging Michael Cohen of Colchester, plaintiff in a divorce case in this city, with perjury, and skbortly after th o’clock Thursday afternoon, just as the superior court ad been adjourned after the trial of e divorce case, Chief Murphy placed Mr. Cohen under arrest and he was locked up until about ‘five o'clock, when bail to the amount of $750 was furnished. It is claimed that Mr. Cohen com- mitted perjury about a year ago when he testified that he was a resident of Colchester In May, 1903, when, as a matter of fact, he was a resident of New York state at the time. At the time he is alleged to have testified he was a resident of Colchester the di- vorce case was being tried, but when the fact was brought out that he was a registered voter in New York at that time, the divorce proceedings were dropped for the time being ,but the case was heard on Thursday. Mr. Co- hen, it is stated by his attorney, lived in Colchester in May, 1903, but own- ing some property in New York, he went there to collect the rents. and while there was induced to register, after which he returned to Colchester.

He claims she deserted him May 25, 1893, and that he has given her about $16,000. He stated that he owns buildings in Michael Cohen of Colchester Flaced Under $750 Bonds Following Suit for Divorcein Superior Court—Offense / ieported to be worth over $15,000. t' e had undergone an operation he went to Colchester for his health five years ago, but his wife would not leave New York. She had been to Colches- ter once, but did not stay. He had sent her money and had others try .to get her to come to Colchester, but she re- fused. He had sent his wife $12 a week but denind ever striking her or hav- ing been ordered to give her $15. They had three children, the youngest and oldest being with the father, and one, aged 9, with the mother. Fred Fisher of New York testified to trying to get Mrs. Cohen to go to Colchester but she refused. Reuben Cohen and Louis Cooperson also tes- tified for the plaintiff. Mrs. Cohen, in telling her story, stated that their married life was not a happy one, and in 1902 she had her husband arrested for non-support, but the case was settled by his agreeing to pay her §12 a week, She declared Fisher's testimony false, and said he was the cause of all the trouble, Herman J. Zimmerman of New York, a cousin of Mrs. Cohen, testified to Cohen being arrested for striking his wife and that he did not support the family as he should, although he had $5,000 a year. The last witness was . F. Rogers. Argaments were made by Attorneys Barnes and Calkins, and depositions were laid in.

Congressman Higgins writes a local friend as follows: I hope and belleve Norwich will have a fitting celebration. I am busy at this end interviewing the president and hls secretary on the details of his trip to Norwich; arrang- ing for a battalion of artillery to come from the forts about New London; trying to get the midshipmen, who, I am told, are to be in New London at about that time, and seeing what. can be done towards getting a detachment of marines to also parade; so, though far from the scene of activity, I am trying to do my part in co-operating with the committees and carrying out their suggestions. Mrs. Higgins and I were able to spend a few days at Gettysburg last week, and greatly en- | joyed the trip, and in going over the field, now marked by thousands of monuments. What seemed a strange coincidence occurred. Last Sunday morning I walked from the union line at the Bloody Angle across the field Pickett charged the third day and to the site of the Bliss house and barn. You will recall that this house was about midway the field and occupied by confederate sharpshooters. The Fourteenth Connecticut’ volunteer in- fantry were ordered to drive out the sharpshooters and burn the house and barn, which they did in the face of an awful storm of shot and shell. The site of the house and barn is now marked by monuments. Within a few rods of the house, in a ploughed field, I found a bullet said to be a union bullet because it has three rings, while the confederate bullet has two. As General Sedgwick on that day com- manded the Third corps and was a Conecticut man, and our local post is named after him, and the Fourteenth Connecticut was the regiment detailed for that perilous duty, which they so | effectively accomplished, I thought Sedgwick post would perhaps value the find, and I have offered to turn it over to them, if they want it, Found by a Connecticut man near the site of the house forty-six years after the battle. The senate is making haste slowly on the tariff. Washington is ‘beautiful now, but it will be hot be- fore we get through. STATE HOMEOPATHS TO MEET. Fifty-Ninth Annual Meeting at New Haven on May 18.

The phantom dog specter was one of the hardiest of old English superstl- tions. Almost every county had its black dog which haunted its lonely spots and was the dread of every na- tive. Most of them were regarded as devils, but some were held to.be the spirits of human beings, transformed thus as a punishment. Lady Howard, a Devon notable of the days of James I, for instance, was said to be com- pelled to haunt Okehampton in the form of a dog as a punishment for her cruelty to her daughter. Puzzie Made Plain. Readers of “Gulliver's Travels” are naturally brought up sharp when first confronted by the word Houyhnhmn, the name given to the half horse half .man creature, whose reasoning power Dean Swift makes so acute. The word s obviously an attempt to spell out the sound given by a horse's neigh—what the philologlsts cal! nomatopoela—but one hesitates to pronouhce it. An emf nent English autkority-—no less than Prof. Saintsbury—approves its pronun clation to rhyme with minim, and it has been so need in Fnelish verse.
