HOP BROOK vs BANTAM LAKE.

Another Argument Against the Hop
 Brook Scheme-The Matter of Con-
 necting With Bantam Lake should
 Be Investigated.
 Tonight the members of the council will be asked to concur with the board of aldermen in their action to apply to the legislature for power to issue water bonds to the amount of S250, ,000 for the purpose of building the proposed res ervoir near the head waters of Hop brook The water commissioners strongly favor the proposed plans. They may be correct in their estimates, yet many in a position to know do not place much faith in Hop brook.
 A DEMOCRAT reporter visited the To- cality yesterday and learned many things that the people should know. A gentleman who during the summer fol- | lowed the course of the brook from near Union City until it was lost in the fields near Watertown in describing it said | that if three or four COWS drank from the stream at the same time, in certain places. it would run dry. He also said that in many places it was rendered foul from the washings of barnyards and last but not least that the principal feed CTS of the brook were below the location for the proposed reservoir. Another gentleman. whose letter upon the subject was made public through the DEMOCRAT a few days ago, says the stream is almost dry three or four months in the year. The question that confronts the board of councilmen is a serious one. If half that is said about Hop brook is true, they should not for a moment entertain the proposition to eXpend S230, 0,0O0 upon it.. | We have at present three reservoirs and +l .l, la hla of supplying the city with water for fifty | years at least.
 The question has been asked and never satisfactorily answered, why do we not secure the privilege of drawing water from Bantam lake? It is a lake five miles | in length, probably two miles wide, and contains a supply of water that will last forever. New Haven has been looking with longing eyes towards this lake, and unless Waterbury secures the privilege will undoubtedly some day draw upon it. probably be secured to allow Waterbury the water privilege of the lake.
 The cost of making connections with Bantam would be but little if any more than S23O,OOO, the estimated cost of the HoI brook scheme. The lower end of the lake is only about six miles from the location at Hop brook selected by the water board. The principal additional cost would be the laying of pipes. As an offset to this the proposed dam con
 taining 10000 cubic yards of masonry
 would not be needed and great saving
 would be made.
 The water in the lake is certainly
 purer than that of Hop brook and the supply is inexhaustible. The location of
 the flow line is probably 400 feet above
 Center square. There would be grea
 water pressure making disastrous fires
 almost impossible, and many other ad
 vantages would present themselves
 This matter is worth looking into, gentle
 men of the council.

A Question to Debate.

The tricks of the trade as practiced by butchers received bad give-away in Waterbury last week. A man bought a turkey which was asserted most pos lively to be "York State" bird. In under the crop his wife found a note written by woman out in Michigan, saying that she received ten cents a pound for the fowl and asking the con- sumner to write and tell her how much he paid for it. The Waterbury butcher thinks he must have been misinformed, or else he bases his statement on the nativity of the turkey on the ground that the egg came from New York state, though it is possible it was matched in Michigan. This furnishes an interesting question for the Waterbury debating society to study over this winter. Whether the place where the egg is laid or the place where it is matched is the native place of the bird.-Ansonia Sen tinel

KILLED ON THE RAIL.
Particulars in Regard to the Death
 of Andrew Flaherty,

Particulars in Regard to the Death
 of Andrew Flaherty.
 An accident at the East Hartford freight yards by which Andrew Flaherty lost his life early Sunday morning was a peculiar one. Flaherty kept a barber shop in Hartford, although residing in East Hartford, and it has been his GUS tom to ride home on Saturday night on the switch engine that is taken over to the yard shortly after midnight. In company with several others he followed this custom on Saturday night Just after the engine had crossed the bridge it jumped the track at switch and rolled down an embankment. Flaherty fell under portion of the engine and was horribly crushed about the waist and instantly killed. The fireman of the engine, named Donahue, was badly scalded upon the side and his hand was injured slightly. The engineer escaped with but few scratches and a slight bruise on the shoulder. All the others on the engine got off uninjured. The engine, although nearly a new one, has already acquired the reputation among the railroad men of being a Jonah 7 and they say that it was unable to go around a curve without leaving the track. It followed this peculiarity in this instance for there was no apparent reason for the accident.

WAS HER HEART BROKEN
Burglar Brandt's Wife Meets a Sudden Death.

About two months ago the co-opera- tive store in Shelton was burglarized and large quantity of groceries and provisions stolen. Speedy action by the authorities located the thief and the
 property at the raper mill block. The
 offenders name was Brandt, at one time
 suburban reporter for the New York newspaper syndicate whose field was WestcheSter county. The proof being incontrovertible Brandt broke down and made full confession, but stoutly
 disclaimed for his wife any participation
 in or knowledge of his crime. Both were
 taken to Bridgeport, but the wife, who
 was evidently suffering, on lntercession of interested ladies of Shelton and Bridge
 port, subsequently, was released from Jail
 and returned to her former home i'll Shelton while her husband was sentenced to states prison.
 About a. m. Saturday q neighbor in
 the same tenement heard fall in Mrs
 Bradt's room but thought nothing of 1t at the time. Later, about 5 q. m., the body of the poor woman was discovered through a window lying motionleSs upon
 the floor of her sitting room. Justice
 Tomlinson being informed of the affair hastened to the scene and broke into the apartment, and it was quickly revealed that Mrs Brandt had long since ceased to breathe Medical Examiner Shelton was summoned and discovered that
 death resulted from heart failure. When found the body rested partially upon an overturned rocking chair, which 1t Is
 assumed was grasped in anattempt to save | the fall. There were no external marks ot violence

Wiser About the Postofrioe Now.

A lady in Greenwich recently gave a letter containing six dollars to a man who was to register it and mail it. It was addressed to New York. The mes senger took out the money and then reg istered and forwarded the letter, mailing it at Stamford and using an assumed name. Of course when the letter was deli vered note mentioning that it con tained no money was sent to the Green wich lady. The proper machinery was set at work and the man who had made Six dollars was immensely surprised to have an inspector visit him and ask for tho money. He has more reptect for the post office than he had.

Waterbury Interested.

Representative Hogg of West Virginia who was defeated for reelection in No vember. has failed to return to Wash ington, nor can he be found at his home. The members of the present house would not be so much disturbed at his non-ap- pearance were it not for the fact that he has all the public building bills favor ably reported by the house committee at the last session. These bills were crowded out last session by the tariff bill. and now the members interested in the bills are telegraphing all over the country in search of MT Hogg to get the bills before the holidays, as after that there will be no chance for anything except appropria- tion bills.

RAILROAD PLANS.
The Standard Oil Syndicate Said to
 be After the Consolidated.

The Standard Oil Syndicate Said to
 be After the Consolidated.
 The Hartford correspondent of the Springfield Republican says: The coming year will probably witness some impor- tant new deals in railway circles, The Standard Oil syndicate which now con- trols the New England, the Housatonic and the Derby, is making great efforts to get control of the Consolidated. Both the last named and the Housatonic will ask the legislature to sanction large ad- ditions to their capital stock. It looks now as if the railroadS,, lobbyists would have big bonanza in working the legis- lature. Just what the new combinations are to be is uncertain, but the indications are that the amount of capital in opposi- tion to the Consolidated road is much greater than that company is able to con- trol. And there is an element of uncer- tainty in relation to the exact position of President Clark, who knows as much about the New England combination as he does about his newer love, the Con- solidated.

Held as Witness in an Important
 Murder Case.
 Mrs Paul King. who is detained in New York as a witness in the O'Connor mur- der case. an account of which appeared in Fridays Press, is we'll known in Dan bury. She formerly belonged to the demi-monde in Chicago and her advent created a sensation. She was a bru- nette, tall shapely, had flashing black eyes, and coal black hair. She then called herself Julia Wilson. She dressed superbly and her coquettish man. ners were exceedingly captivating. A Danbury sport became infatuated with her and was a frequent visitor to the disreputable house which she kept at Tanton lake. Previous to her arrival a woman named Bertie Warren came here from Waterbury and located at another disreputable resort at the lake. Paul King, who had been hack driver in Hartford and Waterbury, became en- amored of the Warren woman, followed her and she received his attentions. An attachment sprang up between King and the Wilson woman, despite the many charms of Miss Warren, and ,one night last February while Julia's lover was visiting her, the pair eloped. They were driven to Flaw leyville where they took the tram for Hartford. There they were married by justice of the peace. But Mrs King soon tired of her husband and went to New York, and has recently been living at Iii Fourth avenue with Hartford bartender named James Ford, who or Thursday night shot and killed Ellen O'Connor, who lived in the same block with Thomas F. Barry, a barber. Ford escaped and has not yet been found King is suing for divorce.-Danbury Press.

Proposed Submarine telegraph

MONTREAL, June IA cable from
London says: "The complete break,
down of the Eastern Telegraph Com
pany's system between Java and Port
Darwin is creating strong feeling in the
commercial public in favor of Pacific
cable from Vancouver to Australia. The
feeling was voiced at the annual meeting
of the New Oriental Bank. The Chair
man said he went East recently via the
Canadian Pacific, and was convinced
that cable via Canada and Australia
would greatly benefit the commerce OF
the empire, giving clear line of com
munication through British territory.
The breakdown existing in Eastern
cables emphasized the necessity of an
alternative line, and increased the desire
of the commercial public for double
security against complete and pro-
tracted isolation. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the Imperial and Colonial
companies should hasten the proposed
survey of the route.
