POLICE COURT DOINGS
Bound Over to Superior Court Charged
,.f, .... : -rvltn Theft. -
,-It was ten minute3 after-the.-usual
time when city, court was held to-day,-Judge
Burpse and Prosecutor5 Darant
having gone to New Haven to see' the
football game-: without .having left
word, to that effect with any . of the
other Judges. Henry Lawlor, a sur
vivor of the Spanish war. a youus fel
low well known about town as very
erratic" when he has partaken of any
drink, was charged by his uncle, Mich
ael J. Lawlor, with making a disturb
ance at his , saloea ea South Main
street. Mr Lawlor testified that he is
the accused's uncle. Yesterday he ea
tered the saloea and snatched a glass
of beer he was filling. Thea he in
vaded the kitchea aad threatened te
kill Mrs Lawlor, aad la ether way
created a furere among the women of
the house. In the opinion ef the com
plainant the accused was net a safe
person . te be at large, eapeclally whea
he has any drink ia hiia. .The accused
Lawlor claimed he was very much
abusod and more sinned against than
he .was a sinner. He was fined $5 and
costs and advised to stay away from
his uncle's place.
-A laughable and yet a serious cast
was that of Louis Rick, who was
charged with theft of $15 from tha per
son of Hugh Tlmmons. Rick is an old
rounder, though only 24 years old. Tlm
mons is a stranger here, coining from
Bridgeport yesterday. After alighting
from the train he went to some of the
saloons in the vicinity of the depot
and there fell in with Rick. They had
a few games of cards and a few drinks
together, though neither had met the
other before. When Timmons left the
saloon he was followed up Canal street
by Rick, who pushed him in a doorway
and rifled his pockets. Rick questioned
his accuser and the argument that re
sulted, was the funniest that ever oc
curred off the stage. Rick denied the
accusation, but a woman named John
son and two men testified to seeing
him put his hands into Timmons's
pockets and Timmons running after
Rick. ; The finishing touches of thi3
kind of testimony were put on by De
tective Cahey. who arrasted Rick. "He
said he bad only $5 when I arrested
him." said the detective, "but when
he was searched $10.25 wore found on
him." This left no doubt of his guilt-
and he was bound, over under a bond
of $000.
OOM PAUL'S PROGRESS.
Will PrcSeed to Paris Today-Speech
In 3Iarseillcs.
DIJON, Fiance, Nov. 24. Mr. Paul
Kruger was welcomed here by an im
mense crowd. He is stopping here over
uipbt and will then proceed toward Paris.
Thoush the enthusiasm attending Mr.
Krucei's departure from Marseilles was
not so boisterous and there was no such
crowd present as awaited him on the
lu"ay when he landed from the Gelder
land, her had no reason to complain of
any diminution of warmth on the part oi
the people of Marseilles.
Mr. Kruger was up at an early hour
and was ready and waiting when his
landau reached the hotel to convey him
to the railroad depot. Amid the cheering
of a large assembly the former president
of the Transvaal entered his carriage at
9 o'clock and was driven to the station.
He was accompanied by Dr. Leyds and
Messrs. Wessels, Eloff, Fischer, Van
Hammel, Rarubaud and Heymena., Just
before . the departure of the train Mr.
Krujer appeared oa the steps of the rail
road carriage la response to the shouts of
the crowd aad laid:
. "Citizens f Marseilles, I thank the
population of Marseilles for its warm
welcome. I trust I shall find the same
enthusiaktic sympathy in all the cities
w'.-ich I am soing to travel throush, and
I hope it will be follov.-ed by actions
which will continue to assist us and re
sult in abetting our cause."

CHILDREN BEING LOCATED.
Enumerators i Think Former " Reports
' - Were "Tattded." - :
The school officials sue making com
mendable headway in locating children
who happened to be overlooked by the
enumerators, and it is believed that
In a fw days more; all the little ones
will be accounted for. and then all will
be well for the present season. The
enumerators cannot give, any explana
tion tnat would throw light on the mix-
up, but some of them make no bones
of the sutemout that thtr canvas was
thorough and that the whole trouble is
due te "padded" reports that . have
bee sent in ia the past. There does
sot appear to be any truth Ju this, and
thone who take this view of the mat
ter weuid lnd it pretty hard to make
good their contention so lone as the
ohildreu are being found in dozens' in
all parte of the town. But what mat
ter abeut tha,t? The eyatem is far
from what it ought to be,-anyway, and
no doubt a little reflection on the part
of the school board will show them the
necessity of making a change as soon
as possible. .Under the oreeent plan
the work hns to be done in ten davs.
and, considering the territory the enu
merators have to cover and the difficul
ty they experience in many places in
getting the Information they desire,
the time is too short or a complete
job.- Of course, it is an easy matter
for people who are looking on to sug
gest a remedy, but probably if some
of the critics were entrusted with the
work they might not do any better.
and perhaps not as well as those who
are at the, helm. But be that as it.
may, it seems that it would be a wi3e
move to employ an enumerator for
each school district, sixteen men in
stead of seven, and in this way the
hurry to finish up on time would not
be ns great as it is and the results
could not but prove more satisfactory.
There would not be so much money in
the job for those who would receive
the nppointments. but even so, they
would not have' to give it fo much of
treir time, and things would be pleas
anter all around. The enumerator los
es 5 cents for every child that escapes
his notice, and. the city is out the per
capita tax, $2.25, so that it must lie
plain to everybody that the work is im
portant. If something .had not been
done this year to look up the children
whom the enumerators failed to find,
the city would, have lost in the neigh
borhood of" $2,000 on the-state tax. and
he-state tax. and
as been pursued,
best that could
ndei- the ciromn-
with the course'that ha
although it was the
have been adopted under the circum
stances, it Is admitted that a few hun
dred dollars will be lost, for there is
not time enough to locate children that
are not enrolled in the schools and who
have not been reported by the enumer
ators. This is a big question and
those to whom the public look for the
proper solution cf the problem. If such
might rightfully - be termed, should
see that the bungling job of the pres
ent year does not occur again.
TRADE CONDITIONS.
Activity In Iron Continue-Woolen
Market Dull.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
With reasonable promptness business
is recovering both activity and tone and
fortunately without the sharp rise iu
general prices which was seen in the
spring and which was followed by a sud
den and serious transition to a more nat
ural range. With general confidence pre
vailing, the current change is naturally
taward a better level of prices, hut with
out excitement. Manufactured goods are
raising in response td a better demand
from' distributing sources, helped at the
end of the week by the more seasonable
weather. Busiuess is not yet what it
was on te top of the wave of Industrial
prosperity, but the working force is Tast
increasing. The ordinary measures of
business reflect increasing operations at
all points, but the textile markets are the
point of last response to the improved
undertone of trade.
Recital of conditions in the iron and
steel market has become a monotonous
repetition. Each weak there is the same
record of activity so generally distributed
that everything, from the raw material
to the finished product, enjoys a share, i
There is also the same freedom from I
speculative accumulation in anticipation
of fancy prices that has been for weeks '
the most encouraging feature. The mar- i
ket is not rampant, but shows a whole- j
some improvement in the consumptive de
mand. I
Two factors militate strongly against '
activity and strength in wool and wool- j
ens. Mild weather has been the chief ad- i
verse influence, reducing sales far below
a normal volume In this vicinity, while i
liquidation of embarrassed concerns
threatens to throw a considerable quan- j
titv h Trifivlr- nt fnrrpd snips. In i
the light of these disquieting features it
is not surprising tnat -sales of wool at tne
three chief eastern markets declined to
5,354,321 - pounds .against 8,352,000
pounds in the week . preceding and 10,
S70.302 pounds a year ago.
Undaunted by recent reverses specu
lators in eotton advanced the price about
$3.50 a bale in ten days. Estimates
have fallen below 10,000,000 bales be
cause of the slow movement, and this
fact, together with last month's record
breaking value - of exports, forms the
basis of present prices.
Failures for the week were 238 in the
United States against. 191 last year and
29 in Canada against 22 last year.
OUR FORTIFICATIONS.
Trained Artillerist Seeded to Man
the Odii Hoot Mounted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. The annu
al report 6f the board of ordnance and
fortifications just made public Bums up
concisely a very large amount of experi
mental work accomplished by the board
during the past year. -A general state
ment of what is needed in the future is
contained in the following paragraph:
"The work of equipping our coast for
tifications is progressing rapidly, and a
large portion of the new armament is al
ready installed. There 13 imperative need
for an adequate force of trained artiller
ists to care for and man the guns now
mounted. The board, therefore, deems it
within its province to invite the attention
of congress to the necessity for reorgani
sation and material iaerease of the artil
lery arm of the service.
"In this Connection, also, the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges aad other
facilities for carrying out each year a
system of practical drill and target prac
tice with heavy guns under conditions
approxim&tiag these of actual service."

Charles Waschinkus. who lives at v

accident this morning. While walk
ing down Charles street, it is said, he
lipped on a banana peel, with the re
ault that he fell heavily to the ground;
breaking hiB arm at the shoulder. Dr
Russell rendered surgical aid.
The residents of this part of the
town arc. very much interested in the
petition of Alderman Mahaney for
gates at the Porter street crossing, and
hope that the thing will be pushed
until a man Is stationed there. It is
the worst spot in the whole city, and
hairbreadth escapes are reported from
it almost every day in the- week.
Large numbers of children pass there
regularly on their wav to school and
the place is also used considerably by
people going to and from their work,
to say nothing of the vast number of
tennis that cross at this point every
day in the year. The matter was re- -ferred
to a committee and if they do
