. SIGN OF 0000 TIMES.
All over the country there has been
f a great rush of holiday business, this
season, which lndiéutes that the re-
turning tide of prosperity is believed
to be permanent. The great bulk of
the business, of course, is done by the
people who have to work for a living.
and unless there were more employ-
ment and better promises for an op-
. opportunity to work than a short time
. ago, those who have money would be
’ saving most of it, instead of indulging
in gift buying. - .
In.The Norwalks the holiday trade
has been good. Never have iwltcr op-
portunities to buy been furnished than
this year. There' is a splendid variety,
and the prices are very attractive to
those who have but. limited moans in
’ ‘ Which to indulge their desire to make
purchases for the benefit of others.

plan-which the Trust, or some of its

purpose of tampering with the scales

tain steamer was unloading. he inves-

' ‘» ages were made to'nppear lighter

there had the springs removed, and
demanded a re-welghlng of the var-
ious lots which had been passing
from the steamer into the warehouse.
The’tresult showed the lots averaging
lif'pounds more than had been record-
,edgln the first weighing. There is no
teliipg how long the frauds have been
. ractlsed. but the Government is sn-
’1 g‘lfor $3.625,121 for alleged fraudu-
uieni-weughing- of sugar in the past
si'x" years. The case seems to be pret-
ell proved, as to some of it, at

FLUSH‘ING. N. Y.. Dec. 24.»The
state’s case againsi Thornton .I.
l‘lnlns nears to its close. District. At-
torney Harris said that. he hoped all
Lilo prosecution's witnesses could, be
ward before. an adjournment. is taken
Over Chrlstnms until Saturday. The
wives of three members of thc llnyside
Yacht Club, when William Id. Annie
was shot and killed. are. under sub-
pocnu, and may be called by the slate
today to tell of the incidents in which
Mr. Anuis participated previous to the.
shooting.
The lawyers for Thornton Halos ex-
pect to end the defence on Bnturdny or
Monday, and Joseph Shay will outline
the case to the jury. It Is not known
how many witnesses will be called by
the defendant's lawyer, but. they are
placing their main hope in the story
that Thornton will tell on the stand.
"Thornton .l. lialus’ recital," said
John F. Mclntyro today, “will be clear
1nd convincing and will tear the
State's (Me to pieces. The defendant
has no four of the cross-exnmiuuiion
of the. prosecution‘s lawyers and after
his testimony the shooting of Annis
will be seen in a. different light.”
It is generally regarded as certain
that. Hoins' lawyers will take the. stand
to refute the testimony of Policeman
mllon that Thornton I‘iains, referring
to Aunls, said to him on the night of
the coroncr's inquest that he would
‘iike. to go down Into hell and bring
him back and kill him over again."
With the introduction of the Ripley
letter yesterday, the dclcusc's coun-
sel will probably develop from 'l‘horu-
ton llulns what he means in his letter
regarding Annis. and if this line of ex-
amination is allowmi the story oi

marital trouble will come out.
Martin Skum, the column who on
August 15 drove the llains brothers
fromtthe station at Buysldi- to the
yacht. club, was recalled to the stand
when court opened today. lie ldhuil-
fled the defendant. as one of his pas-
sengers. and testified that as they
passed the yacht club stage on the
rond, the defendant told him to pull
up and let. the stage go ahead. As the
stage. passed Skurn heard the defend-
ant. say, "We've got him now," On
the road to the club the defendant ask.
ed the witness about real estate for
sale, and then if he knew Annis. The
witness said he saw Mrs. Anuin ulluhi
from the stage at the. club. The dc
fondant and his companion left the
cob at. the club, and the two men on-
tcrcd the club house, where he saw
the defendant. speak to the negro twin
or, Ellcrson. Skura said that about ten
minutes after the two men entered the
Club house they came out and went
down to the dock. The witness re.
stained by his cob. lie heard the
shooting. and afterwards went. for Dr.
lianghton.

BURIAL AT SEA WAS PREVENTED
BY MR. BULL'TCK.
Stratford Pastor on Way Across the
Atlantic interests Himself in Cake.
Through the. intfirveniion and In-
icrcsi shown in the case by Rev. (3. S.
iiullocit. oi the NI-igllilfll‘hnmi church,
of Strntioni. lili' body of a young
woman who died on the ocean liner
liultlc, of the White Star line. in
mid-ocean was not consigned to the
son, but was brought to port on the
lint-r a few days since.
The unfortunate young woman
whose home was in Cnrlislc, Eng. was
on her way to wed Thomas Clark,
of Eureka, lltnh. She fell ill 011 the
voyage and developed peritonitis.
Owing to the lnrchiug of the vessel
Dr. .I. H, Bell. the ship‘s surgeon, did
not. dare to risk an operation and the
young woman died last. Saturday.
As usual in such cases preparations
were made to bury the body In mid-
occan, the “our being several days
out from port, when Rev. C. S. Iiul-
lock headed a movement to raise
money from the passengers to mect
the expense of burying the body
ashore. Mrs. Whiiclnw Reid. wife of
the American ambnsndor to ring-
land, was one of the passengers
aboard and upon hearing of the case
through the subscription list gunran~
teed all expcnscs and sent a wireless
message to her pastor. Rev. Dr. Gros-
vcnor. 0f the Church 01' the Incarna-
tion, New York. requesting him to
arrange for the funeral.
Thomas Clark. the young man
awaiting the coming of his intended
bride. from England, was on the pier

fiancee from ‘the officers of the vessel
