WATERBURY.

The city is going to build a sewer in Bishop street. Chauncy Seeley and many other property owners object; but no mat ter; contractors from out of town with Itallan help must have a pull at the city treasury.
 Quidnunc says the reason why Mitchell did not back Fred Brown for the Post mastership is because he found out that Brown was "cutting under" him for con- gressional nomination this fall So there is coolness between them. If it is true, Herod will also be down on Fred.
 Property owners are now asking when the Insurance Combination will run out The rates are very high for dwelling houses, considering our city water works and the splendid fire department wa possess. Dwelling houses never burn mp in this city, and yet the rate is much more than on farm houses which have no fire protection at all.
 Terror No 6 has not yet it's new engine house. And speaking of fire matters 1t might be asked why is not $5 enough for hitching up pair of horses to a steamer. Often times the horses are not used half an hour Somebody seems to have "snap" in this, too, as somebody has in almost every case only where men "work for living. :"
 
 the past week Her maiden name was Ba- hen, daughter of John Bahen, who was one of the first Irishmen to Hand" in Water bury, and one of the founders and pioneers of the Church of the Immaculate Concep- tion. Herself a lady of exemplary charac- ter, her Christian fortitude was shown by years of suffering. She leaves @ husband and four children to mourn her loss. It was thought that the remodeling of the city hall with its $30,0 ,0O0 of expense was dead project, but the matter was called at the last meeting of the board of aldermen, and that indicates an eager de- sire on the part of the politicians to spend more of the peoples money. This is not the time for such outlays, with idle fac tories, and idle workingmen living on half rations, and officers raising their own salaries. It may be the case that on account of the ball of the Knights of Columbus the l first show of Floyd's Minstrel combination may not have so full house as otherwise they might expect. On this evening, how ever, they will have full house, for they deserve 1t. Their program is attractive, and their artists renowned. Their perform ance at the Peoples theatre should be we'll attended by all who appreciate the grand object of their coming, and who enjoy a laugh.
 Good old Mother Cowles of Meriden is striving to induce Judge Cowell and other Waterbury lawyers into the ways of right eousness, by writing them long letters on their wickedness and the "wrath to come i" Mother Cowles has very big job on hand, and one that promises no immediate hope of success. The good old lady should first try her hand on the hearts of the fraternity at bo,,, sc hat ch fhoir case hopless, or that "no, man is con- sidered prophet in his own country p Edward Kilroe, whose business as black | smith is conducted at A Meadow street, is the busiest man at his trade in town. He 1 is in every way deserving of patronage. l We congratulate him in his success. If the people from eastern sections of the town can't wait, and prefer to stop ''short of the | center" they can call on Patrick Corrigan, corner of East Main and Orange streets, and they will be well served. Either of these two men are skilled in their trade, and both are professors.
 The death of General Hancock caused a pang of genuine sadness in the whole com munity. The old soldiers, like Major Ban non, who gallantly fought with him at Get tysburg, dropped for him a silent tear, which with brave men means something. The counterfeit and the othclous, who never ''snelt powder" are the most talkative in the season of general sorrow, Consequently Major Spencer, whose military life has been confined to the buffaloes on tie plains, feels the loss keenly, and tells how brave General Hancock was-and himself, This is the right thing. All classes, even comrades, praise Hancock the superb, now that he has gone to "the windowless palace of rest"
 General Kellogg is to be congratulated that he "has fought thewild beasts at Eph- esus" and beaten them. Some weeks age the case of Earl Smith and Deacon Bron son vs. Kellogg was tried in the Superior Court. THE EXAMINER at the time could not see where General Kellogg was different from the rest of the ''courtiers'' of years back. Still, the fight was hot. Monday Judge Phelps decided that the petitioner were in the wrong and Kellogg was correct This is just and as it should be. CheaI glory is sometimes bought dearly, as, VI trust, Kellogg's bill of costs will show whict of the plaintiffs must pay. THE ExAMINEI goes for justice and spares none. If a mar is right we have the courage to say so Il
