North Stonington Litigants Present Testimony About Boundaries. The court of common pleas here was occupied all day Tuesday with the con- tinuation of the trial of the case of Mrs. “Eliza Ann. Hewitt, widow of C. Edwin Hewitt, of North Stonington, vs. Burrows R. Park. Civil Engineer E. E. Bucklin of Mystic was on the stand about three hours, explaining plans made by himself and by Civil Engineer G. E. Pitcher. In his testi- mony he gave it as his opinion that the dam at the Park pond in North Ston- ington can be made four feet higher before the water rights of Mr. Park are exceeded or injury done to the old dam above the Park pond. It is the claim of Civil Engineer Pitcher that the | dam can only be raised one inch from its present height of 11 feet. Charles E. Chapman, a justice of the peace, testified that he was not the Jjustice before whom the case was tried in the justice court, as the papers in the case state, but it was T. J. Kelly. Leander . Park of Stonington, brother of the defendant, and who owned the place with his brother 20 years ago, told of carting gravel {®sm the bank to repair the dam. The wit- ness and Lawyer Browning discussed gravel in various ways and the loca- tion of the bank. The dam was built in 1855 by Stephen Maine. Deacon Nelson A. Brown testified to seeing the dam built in 1855 when he was a boy and told of other things having a bearing on the boundaries and The attorneys in the case are A. A. Browning for the plain- tiff and H. I. Rathbun for the defend- ant. The witnesses on Tuesday were put on by the defense. Will Modify Brake Order. B. T.

Polishers at Hopkins & Allen’s Assaulted by Sympathiz- | ers With Men Who Have Lost Their Jobs—Stanley SHOT 1N ‘Pluma Accused of Using Pistol—Two Shots Fired—Po- lice Make Four Arresis—Hankin in the Hospital. ‘Willlam Hankin was shot in the shoulder and serlously wounded in a riot on North Main street shortly after 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, as an out- come of the bitter feeling between the polishers who are on strike and the new men who have taken their places at the Hopkins & Allen-Arms com- pany. In the general melee several men and one woman, all of foreign ex- traction, were struck with rocks or clubs thown at them, and several win- dows re smashed in the vicinity df the disturbance, which occurred near Roath street. In connection with the case, the police arrested David M. Ferns, Stanley Pluma, Paul Salamucha and Walter Telenda. The shooting is ascribed to Pluma, who admitted hav- ing had a revolver at the time, al- though he would say nothing as to the shooting. Pluma and Telenda are em- ployed as polishers at the Hopkins & Allen shop, while Salamucha is em- ployed in another department. Hankin is also an employe of the company, though not a polisher. Police on Hand at Shop. The men who are taking the places of the striking polishers at the shop were let out a few minutes before 6 o’clock Tuesday evening, and there was a considerable crowd about the shop when the men came out. Trouble was apparently expected, as the crowd fol- lowed parties of the workmen as they started for their homes. Policemen Patrick Murphy and Myron Morgan were on hand when the men came out, and no trouble resulted at the shop. Policeman Morgan followed along after the group of men as far as Franklin square. . Shower of Stones at Roath Street. Just what 'started the trouble in Greeneville is not known. The work- men claimed that when they were in the vicinity of Roath street they re- celved a shower of stones, and various bruises were exhibited to prove their statement. Bullet Struck Hankin. Clubs were in evidence, and one man was armed with a piece of heavy hose used to connect air brake systems on trains. A big crowd gathered quick- ly, and in the course of the melee two shots were fired, one bullet striking young Hankin in the shoulder. Chief Linton despatched Officers Charles S Matthew Delaney, _Myron organ, Patrick Murphy and Michael Carroll to the scene, and the four ar- rests were made. Two of the men lat- er secured bonds. Pluma was seen to pass the gun to Salamucha after the shooting, and the gun was found inthe vicinity. Pluma when questioned ad- mitted that the gun was his, and that he had passed it to his companion. Strikers Not In It. The prisoners all agreed that there were none of the striking polishers in the crowd which assaulted them, but said that they did not know who start- ed the trouble. A woman who works in the bleachery, and who was on her way home was brulsed by a stone, and several of the men were struck on the arms and legs. Pluma sald that he had worked at the Hopkins & Allen plant on various jobs for three years, but that he had Just started work as a polisher. He would not admit the shooting. Hankin There to 8ee What Might Happen. Hankin stated that he had followed the crowd after he got out of work to see what would happen, and was mere- ly watching the disturbance when struck by the bullet. He was also placed under arrest. The bullet was fired from in front and above Hankin and entered the base of his neck rang- ing downward He walked to the office of Dr. Louls Cassidy, where he re- ceived attention,and was later taken to the hospitel in the ambulance. The bullet went through coat and vest, car- rying pleces of clothing into the flesh with it. Efforts to locate the bullet were unsuccessful, and-an X-ray pho- tograph will be taken ‘today to deter- mine its location. Dr. Cassidy stated Tuesday evening that it was impossi- ble to tell how serious the wound may be until the bullet is found. The bullet may have stopped next to the scapula or have glanced into the .lungs. Pro- vided blood poison does not set in the wound should not prove dangerous. Hankin is a young man about 20 years of age and resides at No. 32 High street. Sympathizers Started Trouble. The origin of the disturbance appears to have been in an antipathy for the | strike-breakers on the part of the crowd, and not to any action on the part of the strikers. There were several small disturb- ances on Monday, but no serious en- counters. Monday noon one of the non-union polishers assaulted Wesley J. Calkins in front of the shop, and there was considerable excitment, but | the police were not called into the af- fair. In the evening there were sev- eral other personal encounters in oth- er parts of the city, it is understood, but none at the shop, where Sergeant A. C. Matthews and three other police- men were on duty when the polishers came out. Union to Present Schedule. National Vice President John Fitz- gerald and the two local members of the Polishers’ union on the conference committee reported to the officials of the Arms company the emphatic re- fusal of the polishers to return to work at the proposed scale of wages on Tuesday. It was agreed that the un- ion should present a scale of wages for the consideration of the company. This schedule will be arranged by the union and presented to the company on Thursday, and the company will later report to the committes on the matter. It is believed that the matter can be settled with a nominal reduc- tion of wages. TEMPERANCE PROGRAMME BEFORE UNIVERSALIST LADIES Conducted by W. C, T. U. at Church + of the Good Shepherd.

Phe new river road between Tafts station and Jewett City is well along towards completion and men were at! work Tuesday oiling the surface of the gravel highway. — District Engineer Carroll A, Campbell stated Tuesday evening that the road was nét yet safe, that those who go over it do so at their own risk, and that the signs would be kept up until the railings have been placed on the embankments where the level of the road has been raised. Ma- and work will be started at once. The new highway follows the course of the old river road excepting that curves have been stratghtened, depressions filled and the hills cut down, making it as nearly straight and level as is possi- ble. One of the biggest parts of the contract has been the filling, which has amounted to 45000 yards. Until the surface is entirely finished and the railings in place the road will not be accepted by the state, and not until then will it be opened to the public. The road is five miles in length. The continuation of the road in the town of Griswold from Jewett City to the Plainfield town line, a stretch three miles long, is also nearly finished and will probably be opened at about the same time as the road this side of Jew- ett City. In Jewett City borough this road is macadam, and beyond the bor- ough to the town line it is gravel. On the two contracts there will be 15,000 feet of railing. This means that about one-fifth of the road will be railed, owing to the large amount of filling done. The road from Taftville to Jew- ett City is to cost something over $60,000 Three road building contracts have been started in the past month.

Believes Katie Maher Did Not Get Into River in This City, After taking testimony from Mrs. Jennie Dunham Pixley, who stated that she saw Miss Katis Maher at the Mohegan gate on Saturday, Nov. ist, which was four days after she dis- appeared from this city on the evening of October 28th, Coroner Franklin H. Brown sald on Monday that he saw no reason to doubt Mrs, Pixley's state- ment and from the fact that the body was found at Massapeag, which is on the west side of the river, taken in connection with Mrs. Pixley's state- ment, he was inclined to belleve that Miss Maher drowned herself in that neighborhood and some days after her disappearance here. The coroner also examined Lindsey Smith, Miss Maher's nurse, He saw Mr. Smith at his homs and found that he had not gone to the hospital as a person in the neigh- borhood had told the coroner on thae day before when the coroner went to the house to secure a statement.
