The jury was out about an hour and a half before they arrived at a verdict that ihey were ready to report to the court, n court came n in the morning, State’s Attorney H, A, Hull finished his argument which he had begun on Thursday afterncon. He spoko for 43 minutes and Judge M. A. Shumway occupied 22 _minutes in his charge to the jury. The judge told the jurors that if they found the two young men _guilty with intent to kill he would Send the accused to the state reform- atory at Cheshire, but if the jury should find the accused guilty of sim- ple assault, the guilty men could be given a jail sentence or a fine. When the verdict of guilty was re- turned, the judge committed the two voung men, Who are both minors, to the state reformatory at Cheshire. Began Manslaughter Trial. The trisl of Albert Wiewlora on the charge-of manslayghter was begun after the verdict ‘been pronounced in the other case. He is defended by Attorneys Thomas M. Shields and V. P._A. Quinn, A Wiewiora, who lives at the Falls, is accused ot causing the death of Law- rence Mydock of this city, who died in the hospital on the mornming of Monday, July 27th, without regaining consclousness after he had been in- jured at or mear tho house. No. § Sherman street, where Mydock had fallen in the strect in a fight with ‘Wiewiora and had also been engaged in a fight with two women in_the house at about midnight of the Sat- urday before he died. In the fight in the house Mydock’s head struck a door casing when he fell. Arrests in_the case were made by Policeman John Royston and Timothy J. Driscoll. Plans and Photographs of House. The trial occupied all the time of the court in the afternoon Friday. Civil Engineer George E. Pltcher was the first witness placed on the stand by the prosecution. He explained for Major Hull a floor plan of the house, No. 8 Sherman street, and also three hotographs of the exterior of the se. The civil engineer was closely cross examined by Attorney Shields, who inquired particularly about the shapes and sizes of two stones that were in the walk near the front of the house and also about the door casing of a kitchen doorway. He asked the civil engineer it he had seen any foreign substance or stgins on either the stones or doorway at the time ho made the plans, to which Mr. Pitcher answered Testified About Autopsy. Dr. N. B. Lewis of this city, who is medical examiner for Ledyard and Preston, testified to an autopsy which he performed with the assistance of Dr. C. C. Gildersleeve, upon the body of ‘Lawrence Mydock on July 28 at the morgue of Cummings & Ring. The doetor said that the external injuries consisted of a bruise on the right cheek Just under the eve, the eve black and blue, a small abrasion near the right ear, ‘5 small abrasion of the right knee. a bruise on the right shoulder, a small abrasion on the back of the right hand and on the tip of the left el- bow. There were also discolorations onthe abdomen, an abrasion on the top of the head in the occipital region. slight bloody dischargo from Dboth ears, an abrasion over the right shoul- der blade, and six small abrasions over the left scapula. An internal examination was made by removing the skull cap showing the brain very much congested and con- taining clotted blood. The skull was fractured at the base near the abra- sion which was found on the outside. The skull fracture was three inches long. Conditions of the stomach, liver and kidneys, which they examined, the doctor said, indicated excessive use of alcohol. The fracture at the base of the skull caused Mydock's death, Dr. Lewis tes- tified. and it was the opinion of the doctors that the blow on the occupital region of the head had been the cause of_the fracture of the skull. Dr. Lewis was cross examined by Attorney Shields. testifying that none of the abrasions or bruises found on the body had anything to do with Mydock's death except the abrasion on_the occipital region. Court adjourned at 4.30 until next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. Gildersleeve, Dr. Louis T. Cassi- dy and Dr. Lovejoy from the Backus ‘hospital were other medical men who were in court and Coroner Franklin H. Brown also attended the session. State’s Attorney Hull is assisted by Attorney John D. Hall, who prosecuted the case in the Norwich police court. The Jury Selected. The jury selected in the case is the following: Otis A. Browning, Morris Flynn, Preston: Arthur C. Standish, lchester; William B, Paten, Gris- 1d; Elmer L. Pultz, Lebanon; Hor- ace G. Lewis, North Stonington; John McManus, Bozrah; Willlam J.

LITCHFIELD COUNTY HALL FOR WOMEN'S COLLEGE Another Building to be Added to New \ Londen Institution, Through a campalgn which has been conducted in Litchfield county for most of the summer by Professor Colin S. Buell in the intérests of the Connecticut College For Women, it is announced that a Litchfield County Hall is a new building that is as- sured in the group that will be erect- ed for the new college at New Lon- don. The funds for this as well as for the Windham county hall are ex- pected to be raised in full by the close / of the present month, it is stated. Coincident with the assured success of the Windham and L&czxflela coun- campaigns comes announce- gen: that_ graduates end friends of Willlams Memorial Institute aere re- sponding libérally to a project of Pais- ing the sum o&‘ll}‘fién nhln,:;;h par. pose of establ! schol ps s the college for four graduates of the institute. This amount is believed to. be sufficient to provide tuitlon for four young women from the insti- tute at all times. FRENCH OFFICER DECORATED WITH LEG'ON OF HONOR. For Herolo Rescue of a Corporal Un- der Heavy Fire. Limoges, France, Sept. 11 .via Bor- deaux—On a train loaded with wound- ed which passed here today with a young French officer, Albert Palaphy, hose unusual bravery on the fleld of Dattle won for him the Legion of Hon- or. erthrowndwdnuo-,iro _sseseseseseseses As o simple corporal of the Tenth Dragoons at the beginning of the war, Palaphy took part in the recent violent combat with the Germans. In the thick of the.bullets the corporal, find- ing his_colonel wounded and help- less, rushed to his aid. Palaphy hoist- ed fhe injured man upon his shoulders and, under & rain of machine gun bul- lets, carried the colonel safely to the ¥rench lines. That same day Pala- phy was promoted to be & sergeant, Shortly afterwards although wounded, he distinguished himself in another af. fair, leading_a charge of his squad against the Baden uard, whose stand- ard he himself captured. Wounded by » ball, which ploughed through the lower part of his stomach and covered with lance thrusts, he was removed from the battlefield during the night and learned that he had been promot- “ed to be sub-leuteant and nominat- ed_Chevalier in the legion of honor. This incident of decorating a soldier on the battlefield recalls Napoleonic times. BOY SCOUT DECORATED BY BELGIAN KING. Had Made His Way Through the Ger- man Lines Ten Times. Parie, Sept. 11—The hero of Belgium today-is the Boy Scout Leysen who has been decorated by King Albert for his valor and devotion to his country. This young man, who -was born at Liegam, is described by the Figaro as ©of almost uncanny sharpness, with senses and perceptions as keen as a savage. He was ble to find his wyy through the woods and pass the sen- tinels of the enemy with unerring ac- curacy. Leysen made his way through the German lines from Antwerp for the tenth time last Sunday carrying des- patches ‘to secret representatives of the Belgian government in Brussels, He has diseovered and denounced eleven German spies in Belglum and performed a variety of other mervices, and all without impairing his boylsh simplicity.

People in the nelghborhood gave him & chair to sit in and.doctors were sent for, while a telephone message was also_sent to police headquarters. Dr. J. 'W. Callahan came to see the man in the street and then called for-the automobile ambulance, in which the injured workman was taken to the Backus hospital. SERVIANS ELATED OVER TAKING OF SEMLIN. Victory Has Had a Wonderful Effect Upon the Army and People. London, Sept. 11, 10:40 p. m.—Reu- ter's Rome correspondent sends the following message received in Rome from Nish, Servia: “The taking of Semlin has caused great enthusiasm throughout Servia. The people are proud that thelr apmy after seven weeks of war, not only has prevented a powerful enemy from capturing Belgrade, but has inflicted humiliation upon them by _forcing them to evacuate their base of opera- tions against Servia. The victory has hadia wonderfil moral;:effect: vod the army and people.” peop ( JUDGE HOLCOMB NO TO TAKE THE STUMP. riding on a Republican Nominee for Governor Ad- dresses Sereandera. Southington, Conn., Sept. 11.—When a crowd of citizens serenaded Judge Marcus H. Holcomb, tonight in honor of his nomination for governor on the republican ticket, he told them, in a short speech, that he would not take the stump during the approaching campaign. He also said he would not retire from the superior court bench until the date fixed—November 18, which will be more than a week after election. Three Hurt in Auto Accident.

He denies the charge and sald he went to chase the horse, which had run away. [[comparisons between CONDITIONS IN PARIS WITH GERMANS APPROACHING Shown in Letter Received from Mrs. Ruth Spalding Eager, Written Au- gust 10th, While -the Germans have been al- most knocking on the gates of Paris, but now seemed turned back, accord- ing to the war reports received, much local interest attaches to a. letter re- ceived here by Mr. and Mrsy Charles W. Spalding of No. 12 Penobscot street from their daughter, Ruth Spald- ing Eager, wife of the American con- sul ‘at Barmen, Germany, Professor George E. Eager. : Mrs. Eager gives an inside view of Parls on August 10th, soon after the war had started, when she writes as follows: 3 I am still here in Paris, Aug. 10, ten days after the last Franco-German war has commenced. Baby and I are nos suffering yet. ~ I have still money enough to last me a month. It is sim- ply remarkable, the calmness, the good management, the law and order and g0od sense of the French in this ter- rible time. Food is plentiful and has not advanced in price; the grocer or butcher who attempts to Taise his prices will be arrested. Of course, everyone is restricted to a limited sup- ply.~ You are politely asked, when you demand a half pound of butter, to please take a quarter, one pound of sugar, ohe pound of flour, or tea or coffee, or anything else. ~Everything is managed, and governed with the common sense and charity which cterizes the French people. Un- like us in America, where fraternity means that it is not necessary to be polite, because “T am as good as you,” the Frenchman is polite, because “you are as good as me” I-lways had a feeling of sympathy for the French people Defore I ever came here. I think every schoolboy and girl does have it when they read of the Ameri- can Revolution and the part that the French under General Lafayette plaved in the winning of the Independence the United States. There are a lot of Americans here in Paris now. It is, unfortunately for them, just the season when they are most’ numerous. In some cases they have arrived, only to turn around and go back. 'The consul general, Mr. Thackara, has worked indefatigably to assist those stranded here. 1 went to Sce him Saturday, Aug. 1st, and he advised me to try and get to my hus- band in Germany, as I wrote you, but as I said, it was simply impossible. 1 had no difficulty in seeing him that day, but the Monday after there was such a mob of people that one could neither’ get in nor out. Tuesday morning they were obliged to line up on the sidewalk outside of the build- ing. 1 stopped there on my way home from the Gare du Nord after fruitless- ly searching for my trunk, - which, they assure me, always politely, is re- posing at Verniers, on the extreme frontier of Germany, in Belglum. Of course, everything that baby and 1 possessed at the time was put into that fatal trunk. I am still in hopes that the Belrian station master will have returned it before it was too late and tomorrow I shall make another search. Their system of numbering and storing trunks is worthy copying. Bvery available space is flled with trunks, but in less than an hour we had fourd two trunks for a friend last Tuesday morning. Of course, after living nearly nine years in Eurcpe, I could make many the people of these two countries, but what is the use? The greatest enemy of the Ger- man people has been “militarism,” a terrible sickness that is worse than all the enemies outside of their bounda- ries. There is nothing on the face of the earth more -brutal than a German officer with his men In'the ranks. They call it discipline! Perhaps it is, but it breeds hatred and insubordination. The real cause of this disgraceful war is the imminent bankruptey of German: Whose intention was to walk into Paris in two weeks and then demand in- stead of five milliards, 45 thousand millions, because France wi times as rich. e Fortunately, we are independent Americans, instead of nglich, because the English in Germany have been horridly maltreated. Some people who were expelled from Berlin have been heard to declare in Brussels that in the Unter den Linden in Berlin crow: ‘were shouting “Down with the kfi:rg:r?fi and “Down with the crown prince!” I shall hope to get this Jetter through to you, but before you get it much bload will have ben spilt and the face of the map of Europe will have been changed. It is hard to believe that this beauti- ful country is in the midst of 4 war. It is so quiet in Paris, the houses all gally decorated with thelr flags, and here and_there one sees the beloved Stars and Stripes at the side of the French red and blue, but thers is no ridting nor noisy crowds of any kind, [ fay with the Fremch, “Vive is e the country liberty and genuine !n;:r;?g' - pEEy e Dr. Thomas Gallivan Going to Texas.

St. Nazaire, via Parls, Sept. 11, 7:30 D .m.—At.the request of the Govern- ment, the French Campagnie Generale Transatlantique has decided to restart all its steamship services wit hthe exception of that to Haiti, Russians Capture a Town. London, Sept. 12, 3:08 a. m—A Reu- ter despatch from Petrograd says the Russians have captured Tomaszow, Russlap Poland, after o sanguinary confilct. | pany, calling for OUR TELEPHONES. There is no branch of the public service—not even that of the post office and telegraphs—that is so gen- erally and justifiably denounced on ac- count of its unsatisfactory character as that, of the telophone. Bad as we were served under the old_order, we are now worse than ever. We do not Seek to allocate the blame, but clearly it is time something was done to end the gross and unquestioned incom- petency of those in charge. be that the spirit of economy the bottom of the inconceivably amateurish service. Possibly it is the indifference of officialism as rep- resented by the permarent staff. Whatever the cause the crying scandal should be and must be ended. Im- provements have been promised. They bave not been effected. Indeed that which has appeared to De as bad as it was possible for it to be grown worse. In the United States and on the continent those responsible for the service put a premium on everythipng that is calculated to ensure distinct- ness of hearing, safety of carriage in the direction of privacy, and prompt- ness of linking up on trunk wires. In this country the only direction in which smartness is demonstrated ls in the manner in which extortion is practised. As in the case in nearly all over public services the convenience of the man who pays is the last con- sideration. Complaints reach us from men of commerce, from public men, and from private users of the 'phone. In many directions we are worse than we_were twenty years ago, in the early days of *phoning. We repeat, it is the crying scandal of the time. It is not the fault of science. 'Phones that won't 'phone when required are worse than useless. The nation paid a huge sum for the telephone. It is for the post office department to guarantee that we have something better than that which, if it were in one of the little continental states, would be scrapt, and those responsible would share a similar fate—fully ob- served.—The iSheffield (Eng.)

The consumption of white arsenic in the United States in 1913 amounted to about 7,000 tons, valued at $570,000, of which 2,513 tons, valued at $159,236, was produced in this country as a by- product from copper and precious- metal smelters and the remainder was imported largely from European coun- tries. TFor the present imports of arsenic_will undoubtedly be seriously diminished by the Buropean war. The American smelters can save _much more arsenic than they do now, for the cheapness of the product has pre- vented the .saving of all that was practicable, and the war would seem to open the way for an increase in the American _output. Works for the exclusive production of arsenic have been erected at only two places in the United States— Brinton, Va, and Mineral, Wash. It is difficult for such plants to produce arsenic to be sold in competition with the by-product of the smelters, except in periods of high prices such’as may again prevail if the war and its- i dustrial disturbances are long contin- ued. Decre: in Grindstone Production. The valté of the grindstones and pulpstones produced in the United States in 1913, according to the United States Geological Survey, was $855,627, a_decreasc of $60,712 compared with $916,339, the value for 1912. The de- crease is in the value of the grind- stones, the pulpstone production hav- ing increased slightly.

One very interesting re- sult is that the sudden cooling of the atmosphere has the effect of trans- porting the .microbes and locallzing them in determinate regions. The cool surfaces attract them from a distance almost instantaneously, the smaller be- ing transported farther. These new ideas throw light upon the genesis of certain cpidemics, and may be useful in planning the distribution of inhab- ited places. Prof. Von Pfungen is engaged with experiments in his labaratory at Vien- na upon the resistance which the hu- man skin affords the electric current. He operates by passing the current through the body from: ope hand to the other and measuring the amount by a sensitive galvemeter. His re- searches bear upon the relation of the state of the nervous system to the clectric resistance of the skin, and he asserts that nervous excitement of any kind lowers the protecting power of the skin to a marked extent.

Australia has a teacher who teaches a school several thousand miles in di- ameter. Ie conducts his class in a district of Queensland where a ranch of 25,000 acres is conmsidered small. In order to gather cnough puplls to £ll a one-room schoolhouse it would be necesgary to draw on the entire coun- try within a radius of 500 miles. So, in stead of supporting a number of semi-struggling educational insti- tutions in semi-populated localities, the Australian Government engages a trav- eling schoolmaster, who is_an expert motorist and a hardy tourist., | For his use they have purchased an automobile, and in his car the trav- eling teacher goes from farm to farm, making stops of two or three days at each, distributing books and mapping out a course of instruction by which the youngsters can easily teach them- selves.

Muelhausen was bitterly termed the “Swiss cowshed” by the nobility of Al- sace in the fifteenth century. "It was their own fault. Their harassing treat- ment of the town drove it into the arms of the Swiss of Berne and So- leure, who garrisoned it and sucess- tully’defied Austria to retake it. For. a time in the sixteenth century Muel- hausen was definitely a member of the Swiss Confederation. 1t.was expelled by the Catholic States in 1586 because of its Protestantism, the reason which also prevented the full inclusion of Strasburg. But some young men of Zurich triumphantly confuted the plea that Strasburg was too far off to be- come Swiss, by carrving an enormous kettle of hot lentils in a boat down the Limmat, Aar, and Rhine, and bring- ing it still warm to Strasburg.—Lon- don Chronicle.
