PHGNIX FIRE COMPANY.
Plans Submitted at Last Nights Meetin.
 for a New House,

Plans Submitted at Last Nights Meeting,
 for New House.
 At the meeting of the fire commissioners last night plans were submitted for new house for the Phoenix fire company ,and also plan for remodeling the old house. At a former meeting of the board Commis- sioners Kelly and Vail were appointed a committee to look into the matter and the plans submitted last night were prov ided by the former.
 One plan suggested favors the erection of building upon the ground occupied by the present house and the police station the building to be 47 by 57 feet in dimen- sions, and modelled something after the style of the Scovill street house.
 Another plan is to utilize strip of land in the rear of the present station an d build house 23 by 102 feet in size. In the second floor provision could be made for a meeting room, bunk room, room for Chief Snagg and the electric appli- ances of the department could be located here.
 Another plan, which does not appear to meet public favor, is to remodel the old house

TERRIBLE ABUSE TO A HORSE,

The Owner Denies Having Anything to
 to do With the Affair.
 The DEMOCRAT recently copied from a Meriden paper statement that Agent Thrall, of the Humane society, had pro- cured warrant in that city for the arrest of James B. Healey, of Barkhamsted, on a charge of pulling out the tongue of a horse with cord or rope. The warrant was obtained in Meriden, it was explained because the Barkhamsted authorities were afraid of Healey Mir Healey denies that he had anything to do with the affair. He places the blame on his "hired man Sprague. We give MT Healey the benefit of his denial, but the Winsted Citizen ot Friday evening (30th) gives sequel to the affair which goes to show that his innocence is questioned, at least. We quote from thu Citizen:
 Arthur Sprague was arrested on Tues day last for cruelty to animals, Spragu being in the employ of James B. Healey of Barkhamsted, who is charged with pull ling the tongue out of a horse with rope Sprague was arrested by Sheriff Slocum and Healey was got here as witness Sprague, at the hearing Thanksgiving, a g o'clock a. m., was bound over. Sheri1 Slocum, thinking it a good time to catcI Healey, promptly arrested him for hi complicity in the same case. One of tn horses has since died. The examinatio was held before Justice Moore and he ad , iourned the cases of both men till Decen Der 14, at o'clock, under $500 bonds ,an pending the securing of bonds both me ' were locked up.

WORLD OF SPORTS .

William Castle Rhodes, Yale '91, was last evening elected captain of the univer sity football team for next year. Rhodes has played tackle on the university team for the past two years. He was captain of his freshman team.
 In regard to the Keefe matter, Mir Day said that he found it hard enough to sign Keefe last season and that it could not be much harder this year. It can be said of Keefe that he received more money last season than any other pitcher. MT Day does not know what Keefe wants, but ex poets to hear from him soon.
 All of the New York players with but one exception had a nice little snm of mo ney coming to them at the end of the season. It was generally the custom with them to draw only enough money for ex- penses and to let the rest stand until the season ended. Tim Keefe, by getting his salary in this way, has succeeded in get ting together a nice little fortune. He is quite land owner, as he believes that this is the best way to save money.
 This is what Mike Kelly's speech sound ed like at Madison Square Garden on Sat- urday night when he presented the MT Littlewood: C'Speak louder" from the crowd. )-Mr Littlewood, on behalf ("Play ball there, Kell. ")-Mr Littlewood ("You said that before. y on behalf of the American (''What's de matter wid de beauty!'')-of the American public C'Foul, an out. ")-the American public ('Said dat before twicet. 'O &c, &e, to the end where Kelly told the champion he hoped he would always remember America when he wore the belt in England. It only weighs about fifty pounds and is 8 foot wide.

THE oLDLEATHER MAN.
He is Arrested and VIII be Cared For
 Much Against His Will

He is Arrested and VIII be Cared For
 Much Against His Will.
 The ssOld Leather Man" was arrested in Middletown on Monday by Chief of Police Chapman and an agent of the Connecticut Humane society. The harmless old tramp was taken to the Hartford hospital, and 1t is possible that something authentic may soon be obtained about his life and history. For years he has tramped through sections of Connecticut, receiving food from sympa- thizing strangers, and sleeping in caves and places known only to himself. One of his regular stopping places was at MT Fishers, the miller, in Saddle Hill district, and twas here that he was arrested while eat ing Monday noon.
 | His singular suit of leather has given him a wide reputation. A cancer has been growing upon his lip for one year, and it | will probably cause his death within 8 year. Many romantic stories have been published about the old man, but it is probable that his mysterious life has not yet been thruthfully presented. He has not yet told anyone the story of his life and though often asked, has always been silent. A Middletown photographer has secured pictures of this queer character. In the summer it was no uncommon sight to see him roaming through the woods, apparently happy, and it might be added that he was not pleasant person to meet, providing the casual observer wal not acquainted with the leather suit and it's quaint appearance. Some who have en deavored to ascertain the old mans history claim that he is Jules Bourglay, of French descent, and that in his youth he was member of one of the first families in France He became infatuated with q handsome yonng French lady, but through some unknown cause the match was broken off, and the leather man, as he is nov termed, sought refuge for his broken hear in this enlightened land.
 dispatch from Hartford this morning states that the old man refused to stay a the hospital and is again on his travels.

Who Owns Waterbury?

Judging by the furry among certain clothiers, Hirsh is worrying them. Had mt they better build a fence around their places and put balls and chains on their old patrons to keep Hirsh from getting them Waterbury is big city and con- tains over thirty-five thousand souls. The average man is going to buy where he can get the best goods for the least money. Bluster and buncombe won't keep them from the best place, and the public is find ing out that the right place is Hirsh's.

"BubbIing Over, ',

Tonight we are to have Ada Gilman, the bright little soubrette and her com pany, in a new musical comedy entitled "Bubbling Over,n written by Frank Du- mont, author of tsThe Parlor Match, "Three Blind Micen and several other sparkling comedies. It is said to be full of music and fun and the company one of bright excellence and composed of some of the best material culled from the comedy and speciality line. We hope to see big at tendance to greet the little lady and her company.

 Orpheas Concert.
 The first grand co ncert by the Orpheus club in this city, which was given last eve ming at the opera house, was great suc- cess. The large audience present was we'll pleased with the entertainment and every member of the company was called upon | to respond to an encore. A little more singing would have enlivened the pro- grarnme and kept the audience in even better humor than that displayed. Of the individual members of the company nothing but words of praise can be said. The Banjo club and the Orpheus quartette made lasting impression and won favor at once. The piano solos of E. +. Laubin were marvellous, his selections being ex ceedingly difficult and requiring extraor dinary power of execution. Henry Ahl was in good voice and sang two very pretty selections. The humorous readings ant selections of Dr T. w. Pucci and Charles T. Grilley were a prominent feature il the entertainment and these two imperson ators kept the audience in a roa without half trying. The several sclec tions rendered by the Arion quartette consisting of Messrs Kunkel, Ahl, Eymal and Mason were enthusiastically received Miss Lizzie c. Hartmann, soprano, san Heavens With Thee," and for an encor "A Summer Shower" Miss Karrmapl has a pure, sweet voice of great volum and elasticity, and her solos were tn musical gems of the evening. When tn lady appeared in response to an encore sh was the recipient of beautiful basket c flowers.

One Of the most economical med
icines that mortals can use is sleep.
1t is a sovereign remedy for head
ache it also cures nervousness.
When weary we should rest when
exhausted we should sleep. To re-
sort to stimulants is suicidal what
weary men need is sleep. The lack
Of sleep causes neuralgia, paralyses
and insanity Many person dies
for want Of sleep, and the point
where many sufferer turns his feet
nom the very gates Of death to the
open path of life is when he sinks to
sleep. Of almost every sick man it
may be said, as Lazarus, "Ifhe sleeps
he will do we'll" Another excellent
medicine is sunshine. The world
requires more Of it, morally and
physically. 1t is more soothing
than morphine, more potent than
peoples. It is good for liver com
plant for neuralgia, for rheumatism,
for melancholy-for everything.
Make your rooms sunny and cheer
full build your houses so as to COM
mand the sunshine all day long.

COMING EVENTS cast their shad-
ows before, = but the future destinies
Of men cannot be Judged by the
present boy The journey from boy
hood to manhood maketh many
changes The good natured boy
after changing from the chrysalis
state becomes a dignifed, naughty
man; others allow a jealous DISPOSE
ton. They hate to have rivalry;
they refuseto speak to their acquaint-
ances. We believe, we could point
out many different species of the
genus homo here in Newark, but
they are to be found every where.
It is not always best to Judge a
man by his actions, because the
most severe looking man often has
a sympathetic heart.
The thoughtless man may pass
his warmest friend and never see
him, because his mind is not work.
ing, he is in dreamland, as it were.
The arrogant man stirreth up
wrath. He will stalk abroad and
assume an air of "I-have-bought-
this-town," and walk over people if
he dared.
Probably we might go on in this
category and weary our readers, but
suffice it to say that the timid, and
tight-fisted man is no benefit to any
community. They generally have
a few thousands of dollars, and
wonder how people live who are
poor They have no money to give
to the poor, neither do they loan
unless the amount is covered four
times the money value in real estate.
Every town has its own trouble and
and pedantic creatures, and we are
as one family.

GREENBAcK CREDENrIALs.-The
well-known fact that the Greenback
party was composed almost entirely
of men of broken fortunes gave Luke
Walpole, the blind justice of Indian
apolis, the prince of wags, an appor-
tunity to show his native wit. I'm
der the law of indianapolis debtor
might escape the payment of a judg-
ment by filing a schedule of his
property, and thus showing that he
had nothing over and above the IL
mount exempted from execution.
After the organization of Green
back Convention that met at Indian
apolis, delegate moved that COM
mittee on credentials be appointed.
"Mr. Chairman" said Luke, sit
seems to me that the business of
this Convention could be expedited
considerably if each delegate were
allowed to file his schedule. "-Har-
