WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY. DECEMBER G, 1900.
TWO OVERCOATS STOLEN.
Hanging on Hall Rack in a Grand
Street Residence. ,,
Yesterday afternoon some one en
tered tlie iesiilein-e ou Mrs Dunn ou
Urand street and walked away with
two new overcoats which were hang
ing ou the hall rack. An old coat that
looks as if it might have been used as
a target for a .crowd of marksmen on
ThanksgiviifJi day was found in place
of one of the new ones, but the other
was a clean steal, nothing being left
Instead of it. There is no clue to the
identity of the thief. There is a good
deal of this kind of work going on in
Waterbury and although the papers
have frequently warned people to
lock their doors when they are going
out. or happen to lie down to have a
rest, still some folks will persist in
sticking to their own way of doing
things until they get en light, and then
they'll use more precaution than is
necessary. It is the easiest thing in
the world for one to walk in through
the front door and carry away what
ever he can find ef any value, and dis
appear unnoticed by :i woman who
might be busy in the kitchen. People
should be on the alert and not allow
these sharpers to steal a march on
them.
FAST TRACK FOR RACERS.
Colgau. the 'Human Motor." to Ride n
Wheel Geared to 13:.
Work on the track on which the bike
racers w ill compete in Madison Square
Garden Saturday night and all next
week was started this morning. A
large corps of men have been engaged
for the task, and it is expected that Uie
saucer-shaped timber circuit will be
completed before nightfall to-morrow.
The track will be banked twelve feet
high, with wide turns and sloped scien
tifically, so as to do away with the dan
ger of falling while taking the turns
at top speed. This track will be con
ducive to record smashing in the short
races and in the six-day affair, as the
contestants practically will be com
pelled to ride fast at all limes.
Colgan, the New Jersey piugger. who
will compete in the long distance race,
has announced that he will ride a
wheel geared to 1M0 throughout the
race. This will be a higher gear than
any other rider in the race will ven
ture. Colgau is known as the "human
motor." He figures that he cannot
pedal as fast as McFarlaud. Kikes and
some of the other sprinters, but that
with his heavy gear he can hold what
ever pace may be set after he gets
in motion. His partner is Dickevson.
a mail carrier from the mountains of
Pennsylvania, who uses his bicycle all
through the year. He is no stranger
to long distance work, having won a
six-day race in Philadelphia several
years ago. McFarlaud and Kikes, who
are in training in Baltimore, have sent
word that they are in good condition.
In a trial to see how fast a clip they
could stand unpaced without riding
themselves out, they managed to roll
tip forty-eight miles in two hours.
Michael, who is also training in Bal
timore for his fifteen mile paced race
with W. C. Stinson on Saturday night,
has traveled some fast practice miles
behind the motors. Going twenty
miles the second, mile was clocked in
1 :31. and his last mile in a shade un
der 1:30. The training of the foreign
teams at Ambrose park for the six-day
race will end to-day.
HOW IS THIS. MERIDEN?
Springfield Polo Team May Locate in
Meriden.
The Meriden Record teiis this tale
this morning:
The New Britain Herald says: 'V.
A. Parsons, the Waterbury polo man
ager, was in New Britain this morning.
Mr Parsons said that all hands have
their eye .upon New Britain and he
would not be surprised If the cat would
jump -this way from some direction
-within a week. Meriden. he says, has
a week's grace and if the playing
strength of the team is not satisfac
tory by the meeting next Sunday, a
team will be put in New Britain, and
it is possible that the Springfield team
will go to Meriden.
"Mr Parsons says his Lawrence
team is all right. It played to $.:)
last week, which is better than any
team in this league was able to do."

MINISTERS IX DIVES.
Two Clergymen Will Preach In the
Dives Sunday Evening. .
Chicago, Dec 6. The crusade against
vice has taken a new turn in this city.
In view of the newspaper attacks on
the "dives,"- the keeper of two of ths
. most" notorious suggested some days'
ago that the ministers preach In his
places. The offer has been accepted
and Rev Dr E. F. Goodwin, pastor of
the First Congregational church, one
of the best known clergymen , of this
oily, will preach in one of the .places
next Sunday evening. The other place
will probably be occupied at. the saina
time by the Rev Dr D. F. Fox, pastor
of the California Avenue Congregation
al church, who is chairman of the for
ward movement here.
This .course . was resolved upon' at
a Congregational mass meeting held
in fie Union Congregational church
THE rOWEBS AGREE.
Modifications Called For by United
States Accepted. ' . .
' WASHINGTON; Dec. C The state
department has been informed that the
foreign ministers nt Peking have reached
an agreement which was submitted to
the home offices. Secretary Hay cabled
Mr. Conger authorizing hiin to sign the
agreement on behalf of the United States
government. It is difficult to gather de
tails of the understa'ndiug at this time.
Advices received at the state depart
nient from Mr. Conger state that the min
isters have modified the agreement in ac
cordance with the instructions sent to
their representatives by the respective
governments. The agreemerit was neces
sarily a compromise, but on the whole it
is satisfactory to the United States, the
two main points, punishments and indem
nity, being arranged in conformity with
the views of the president and the secre
tary of state. The state department ha
learned within the past '24 hours that an
agree'incnt such as that reached would bo
acceptable, if not wlvlly satisfactory, to
the other powers, so that the formal
peace conference may be:in t:s soon as
all the governments concerned have noti
ted their ministers to sisfii.
The main question at b'sue was that of
punishments. The ministers hud adopted
an article of the agreement which provid
ed that 12 Chinese dignitaries should he
executed for their complicity in the anti
foreign troubles. To this the I'nited
States objected on "the ground that the
Chinese imperial authorities or the pow
ers were unable to inflict such severe sen
tences on llie powerful officials named,
chief of whom was Prince Tiian. the fa
ther of the heir apparent to the throne.
Rv.ssia promptly came to the support ol
the United Stales in t'-':s cuntention. and
ail the other uati-ms followed suit with
the exception of Germany, which desired
the most ixei::plary punishment inflicted
on those' who were' directly responsible
for the murder of Baron von Ke'ttder.
As a iesuit of e.vchanes within the
past week ' ermany. it is understood. lia
come around to this view, that the Chi
nese government, which is charged by the
powers with the infliction of the punish
ments, was unable to cany out capital
sentences on tile principal offenders. The
form of the de-mand finally iuciirpurutt d
in the c.ci-eemeiit at Peking was suggest
ed by Russia and the' I'nited States. It
calls for the infliction of the severest pun
ishmcnt on the principal offeneleis that
the Chinese gevei nine lit i nbie to iaKht.
Guarantees inust be irlven that these inee
will he punished severely, and I he pow
ers must have eviih'iu-e that tin punish
ments have been carried out in souci
faith.
As to indemnity the' agreement contains
a provision that the Chinese government
shall acknowledge liability fur the inju
ries to governments, corporations and
persons and agree; to pay damages, actual
ami exemplary, to be fixed hereafter in
such manner as the 'pe-ace plenipotentia
ries shall elee -ide. Tin- amounts to be pa'el
are not tixeel. nor is any limit of indemni
ty named. This gove-riiinent and Russia
favor the transfer of the indemnity ques
tion to tin' pe rmanent court eif arbitration
at The- Hague?; of which ox-Prcsieloiit

PRAISE FOF? OUR TROOPS.
Sir Clnctle Mnctic;iiwel &icaU HicliI;
of the I2oy In Etae,
WASHINGTON. Dee. 0. General
Chaffee, e'oniniauding the China relief ex
pedition, has forwarded to the war de
partment a copy of a letter received by
United States Minis ter Conger from Sii
Claude Miuiloi'.ald. Biitish minister te
China, speaking in a complimentary way
of the review of the American troops
which took place at Peking on Oct. U
last. Sir Clattde says:
"I have been so busy all day I have not
had time to write and tell you how inner.
I enjoyed the review ef your troops. At
an old soldier 1 looked on with crilicn
eye and think that nothing e-ould hav
been finer than the appcair.uce of th.
'boys in blue.' As an old infantryman it
was to this branch of the se;rvice particu
larly I devoted my attention, and I great
ly admired the marching and splendid
be'aring of the men. I have spoken te
some of our cavalry officers since, 'anel
they are loud in tht-ir praise of both
horses and men of the cavalry."

WORKED AX OLD GAME.
Get Five Dollars From Father Kelly.
But Was Captured.
Matie.iwan, X. V., Dec OS. A stranger
who declares that lie is Colonel lleish r
of Georgia workeil an old swindling
game mi the Rev Terrence F. Kelly,
pastor of St Joachim's church here, but
before lie could dee-amp the fraud was
discovered and th.' man arrested, lie
admits his guilt, but blames drink for
his troubles.
At 10 o'clock yest.'ielay morning the
stranger, who is about " years old.
well dressed ami of excellent appear
ance, called at th. recterv anel asked
to see Father Kelly.
"flood morning. Father." said the
caller. -"I haw called on a must pleas
ant mission. 1 assure you. My name
is Michael K. 1 'l.uiile: y. and I repre
sent the- war department in Washing
ton. They have sent j;u here with a
lira ft for ib( tj piv'-tyit to you as a
legacy from Thomas Ryan, who lost
his lite in the Philippines."
The priest was nonpliisseel. not then
b: iug able to rceail Ryan. However,
he accepted the draft anel thanked the
caller and the elepartineul in Washing
ton. Just before leaving the caller
brought llie"- priest's attention to a hole
in his pocket.
"That hob- e-osl ice1 S10 this morn
ing." he saiel. "1 lost all the money I
had through it. Will you please. Fath
er, let me have ?." until 1 ret urn ': I as
sure you I will forward it as sooirus 1

eil him S5 without hesit.iucy and the
caller eleuaried.
In a few minutes the priest was on
his way to the Matteawan National
bank. 4u his way it dawned em him
that perhaps he had been swindled. He
knew no U.van in th Philippines. The
priest asktel tile cashier to telegraph
to D rex el - Co of Philadelphia, em
whom t'ne draft was elrawn. asking if
ir was geuenlne. Soon the answer
raiue back that it was bogus. In the
meantime the e-'nief of police had the
strange r uneler surveillance1, and he
sjeiu took him as a prisoner. At first
the man insisted that his name was

The- prisoner seem penitent, anil it
is doubtful if tht priest will press the
charge against him.
