OFFICERS ELECTED.
The Annual Fire Company Elections
Last Evening.
The Alert, Pioneer and Durant
Rosters for 1888.
All Companies Report as Being in
FIOurishing Condition.

The meetings of the various fire COM
panies were unusually well attended last
evening. The occasion of the massing of
the confiagration combatants was the an
nual election of officers. The member
who has persistently failed to respond to
fire alarms for the past twelve months
bobbed up serenely last evening to avail
himself of the untrammeled American
privilege of casting a ballot for his favor
lite. However, very few of the class de-
scribed in the foregoing sentence are at
tached to local flame fighting ~organiza-
tons. The elections passed off quietly,
spirited contests being the rare exception
and declination of proffered honor rather
the rule. Following are the rosters of the
three companies named:
ALERTs.
Foreman, Frank A. Roedel; first assis-
tant, Chas. Thompson; second assistant,
Andrew Roedel; first captain hose, Frank
Teahan; second captain hose, j. E..
Barnes; captain hydrant, Frank A. Dana;
secretary, l.. G.. jerks; treasurer, John
Chase; trustees, q. Boulter, John Chase,
D. Taylor. Lem Ellis and Warren Rich
ardson, Jr.; finance committee, Lem.
Ellis, j.. E. Barnes and +. A. Dana;
members relief association, l.. G. jerks
and F. A. Roedel. During the year the
Alert hose company responded to twenty
eight alarms, participated in one tourna-
ment and attended two funerals. The
membership is large and composed of ex-
cellent timber. The financial condition is
first class, but a new hose house is sadly
needed.
DURANTs.
Foreman, John II. Smith; assistant
foreman, VIM. Winters; captain Snyder
hose, G. P. Knight; captain Easement
hose, VIM. Stuhr; secretary, Stephen
Bon. Jr.; treasurer, Jno. +. Wild; stew
art, Chas. Nessels; engineer, Frank Hill;
trustees, Geo. Bescherer and John K.
Jeffrey. The affairs of the senior hose
company are in a fourishing condition.
with membership increasing.
PIONEER HOOKS.
Foreman, L. w. Warlaumont; first
assistant, John Nolan: second assistant,
M. +. Brennan; secretary, Ed. Lawler;
treasurer, Jos. Dillman; trustees, a. D.
Kelly, P. S. Cook, John Nolan, j.. G.
Martin and Ben Ekdall; members relief
association, A. D. Kelly and p. H. Scriber.
The anne of fifty active and twelve hon
orary members are on the books of the
company. The Pioneers are comfortably
settled in their elegant quarters, the best

and are altogether happy.

 pr c. Art Ward-The plan struck me as being a good thing. I did not attend the meeting and did not suppose the intention was to give one man full charge.

 Judge Cowell-I am not in favor of school books being free. AS for the action in regard to the roads I think that we have three competent selectmen who are well able to look after our country roads.

 Mir W elton replied that last year the water board found it necessary to pump from Mad river and the necessity of having a new reservoir is becoming more apparent every year that large number of sewers have been put in during the past few years, which makes the consumption of water greater, and that every water board Were unanimous that new supply was necessary. The boards thought that it was advisable t ) go along slowly with this matter and 1t was tabled until the next meeting. The layout of Hickory street was referred to the board of compensation The matter of the assessments and damages for Vine street was brought up and Messrs Kane, Munson and Heater, the committee on benefits and damages arising from the construction of that street, made the fol lowing report, and after considerable dis cussion the matter was laid over until the next regular mt etiny.

 Manager Mutrie, who had the whole say as to whether the New York and Brooklyn clubs would play this fall, gave his decision yesterday. It was that he could not afford to take the risk of having his men injured. This decision rather staggered President Byrne, who felt sure that the game would be played. He said last night that he had made every effort in his power to have the clubs come together but had failed. He did not want the patrons of the game in Brooklyn to think that it was any fault of his that the game had not taken place Manager Mutrie explains that it would be too great risk to play this game right on the eve of the worlds championship series, for an injury to one man may cause the loss of the series.

 The state directory of the Southern New England Telephone company has been is sued and according to report it does not please the subscribers. M F. Tyler, the president of the company, acknowledges that there are some defects ill the directory, and that it was DO more perfect than other things in life. As to the dissatisfaction about the change in calling subscribers by number instead of name, he says that the people would have to come to it sooner or later, and that they had put it off long enough. They have given the subscribers until January to get accustomed to the change and in the meantime they could call either by name or number. It was just like every other change and only took time to get accustomed to it.

 Patrick Holohan-It is the greatest in- justice ever done the people of Waterbury, as it gives one man power to spend 1000 of the towns money as he pleases. Many of those who attended the meeting last night are not only not taxpayers, but never have paid any taxes.
 Dr Neville thought the vote for free scht ol books was uncalled for and would cost the town $1O,000 year.
 John O'Neil said free school books would probably cost the town $1,O0O the first year and less the succeeding years. Benjamin Sedgwiek did not care to be quoted upon the matter. 'FBpt will say,'' he remarked, "that James Sutton did more and better work for the money re- ceived than any man ever employed on the roads,"
