Burglars forced an entrance into Buttery’s Water street market some time during the night last night and carried away a large quantity of meat. The fact that the market is directly opposite police headquarters appears to have had no terrors for the bold thieves. When Will Buttery arrived at- the market at ten minutes after 6 o’clock this morning and went to the ice box he discovered that a round of beef he had placed there last night before clos-' ing up was missing. Hefilooked around ’ " and thought things had been changed considerably since he was last in the box, but did not suspect that the market had .been robbed until he went into a rent: room and found a window open. When examining the window he found a pane of glass had been broken out and the catch pulled back. He now became satisfied that the market had been entered, and making an investigation discovered that a round and rump of beef, four or five hams, several loins, one hind quarter and four quarters,,and a half peck of clams were gone. The cash. register containing seven cents had been left open and was undisturbed. Buttery also discovered that the burglars were evidently hungry and had stopped and opened a quantity of oysters and left the shells lying on the floor. Ol‘ficer Hunt was notified of the rob- bery and going to the scene trace 1 the burglars dowu the high bank at the rear of the store to the railroad tracks and nearly to Water street where the footprints had .been obliterated by those of the army of newsboys who bring up the morning papers from the station platform. A In the grass back of the market was found a loin of beef which the thieves had dropped. The marks found upon the path lead— , ing dowu the bank to the railroad tracks looked as though the theives had dragged a heavy box or basket along behidd them. As there was something near 200 pounds of meats taken it is quite evi- dent that the theives either came by boat to one of the docks, or else had a ' wagon in waiting on Water street, to carry-"their plunder away. That they came and departed in a wagon is prob ably the correct theory. Cause of Shamrock’s Defeat. Captain Ollie Jennings of Southport, one of the best amateur yachtsmen on Long Island Sound,gives it as his opin- ion that the cause of the Shamrock’s regular defeat by the Columbia is that the former’s mast is located at the wrong end of the boat. There is more truth than poetry in Mr. Jennings’ re- mark. ‘ V Ten Divorce Cases.

FIVE YEARS FOR NUZZI Youthful Avenger Sentenced to at Term in Prison. BRIDGEPORT, Oct. 20. -Five years in Wethersfield is the sentence, yester- day, imposed upon Clementi N uzzi, the avenger of his sister, by Judge Pren- tice. The accused had pleaded guilty to manslaughter. In passing sentence the court stated that it would gladly act in accordance with its sympathies which were strong- ly with the prisoner, but for the sake of the example it would set to the com- munity it felt compelled to impose a judgment that would deter others in like circumstances from taking the law in their OWn hands. The court had seriously reflected over night upon the circumstances which aggravated the crime and while it appreciated the abhorrence of the victim’s deed and realized the strong motives which prompted. the accused in slaying him a sense of duty compelled the court to deal with the case in accordance with' the legal evidencerbefore it. The probabilities are that N uzzl will for it is believed that he will be re- leased by the board of pardons when they next-meet. Nuzzi wept like a child wheusentence was passed. He did not think that in shooting the fiend who outraged his five-year-old sister that he had committed a. very grave offence against society.

Night Ticket Agent Ritch Was at WeSt'Bound Station. _ GREENWICH, Oct. 20.-—The east bound station at Greenwich was rob- bed Wednesday night and Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy is looking fora couple of tough-looking customers who are now thought to be on the other side of the state line. The night agent at the depot is Gil- bert M. Ritch. He sells tickets, and that causes him to devide his time be- tween the two stations. When he was at the east-bound station last night, soon before the 10:36 train went up, he noticed a couple of men, whose ap- pearance was sufficient to cause him to take a second look at them. They were what would ordinarily be termed by the police “suspicious characters.” He supposed, however, that they were waiting for a train and he went over to the other side of the depot, where a west-bound train was soon due. When he returned to the east-bound station, some time before the theatre train was due, he discovered that burglars had been at work. The door of the ticket office had been forced open. A little over $16 in cash was missing from the drawer and a satchel belonging to a Greenwich party was gOne. , The marks on the door that the burglars had used a jimmy, but they also proved that the men were not experts at their trade. There were four marks of the jimmy. Three of these were above the Yale look by which the door was fastened, and the other was near the lock. indicated Train Kills a Boy.
