CANCELLED STAMPS.
Postmaster CALDWELL OF Spadra
Usdcr Arrest

Upon information furnished to him,
United States District Attorney J..
Marion Brooks caused A. B. Caldwell,
the postmaster at Spadra, to be ar
rested by the United States Marshall.
1t was alleged that Caldwell, who has
occupied the position for the past six
teen years, had made false returns OF
the postage stamps cancelled at his
office, and the charge was "defraud-
ing the Government" It appears
that he reported the cancellation OF
$50 worth of stamps, whereas the
amount should have been but $12.76.
Caldwell was examined before United
S ates Commissioner Van Dyke, and
held to answer in $500 bail.

ADJUSTMENTS.
a3-30-S..

The new play, "7-20-s," produced at Daly's theatre, has made decided hit. From the rise of the curtain to it's final :all, there is bustling, rapid succession of humorous incidents. The plot is just enough complicated to hold the attention of the audience without calling for any mental effort to follow it. The acting is so we'll distributed among the various characters that each has something clever to do, and everybody in the cast made the most of his ora her opportunities. It would be impossible in brief space to mention the myriad incidents of the piece. The audience was large, and the laughter elicited was literally incessant.-New York Herald. At the opera house this evening.
 Nancy & Co.,
 A fair sized audience witnessed the first production of ''Nancy & Go, one of Daily s greatest successes, at the opera house last evening. Tho play is sparkling with fun and bubbling over with ludicrous situa- tions and bright sayings. The company is q superb one, the equal of any seen here this season.
 "Under the GaslIght."
 This play never grows stale and always draws a large audience in Waterbury. II will be put upon the boards at the opera house Monday evening.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The person who wrote the letter to the Waterbury American as published in that paper on Il recent date. whosel object was an attempt at a caustic criticism of the Carrie Welton fountain now being erected on Center Square, was either ignorant or A wilful mali5ner.

In Regard to Free School Supplies-The
 Board of Education Elects Omcers.
 The selectmen and board of school visit ors held joint meeting in the police court room last evening, and passed vote appro- priating $10 week to the schools of the town outside of the Center school district, the allowance not to be paid to the Town Plot school until the cellar of the house. which is filled with water, be put in proper condition.
 In regard to the vote for free text books and school supplies passed at the recent town meeting there was considerable dis cusson. It seemed to be the opinion of nearly every member of the board that the matter is impracticable. The Center school district is governed by a special charter and beyond the jurisdiction of the town. Last year there were only 540 scholars in attendance st the schools outside of the Center district The members of the board are favorably inclined towards free books It is merely a question of jurisdiction. To bring the matter to head Judge Cowell and Edward l.. Frisbie were appointed a committee to confer with the officers of the Center district in regard to the vote and report at the next meeting Of the board
 After the adjournment of the joint meat 1 ing the board of school visitors met and | elected the following officers: T. l. Driggs, | chairman: H. r. BGssett, secretary; George H. Cowel and John X. Moran, school wis itors. The following committee were appointed. Examining committee-Joseph l ". Zones, F. T. Russell and John A. 1 Moran: text book committee-H. F. Bas- sett, John 4.

NIERIDEN's GREAT SCANDAL
Given Publicity Through the Columns
 of tho New York Herald.


 of tho New York Herald.
 The New York Herald to-day publishes a communication from w. F. Graham, Jr, of Merider, in reference to the great scan- dal in which his mother is the most prom inent figure, and in which well-known Waterbury man is involved, which is probably the most unique and remarkable document ever sent to an American news paper for publication. The story as told by young Graham reflects seriously upon his mother, who he said was in the habit of picking up acquaintances at the shore with whom she afterwards carried on clandestine correspondence. "On another occasiou," says this remarkable son, Graham sat with his ear to the key hole of his wife's room in the hotel where her escort and herself en- joyed each others society until a quarter to one in the morning. A terrible row en- sued, but Graham forgave his wife. How ever, over year ago young doctor named Sullivan came to Meriden. He was 'dudish' and hired rooms over Mrs Tobin's mili nery, where Mrs Graham traded. The mil liner with an eye to business, introduced the pair, and the result was that Mrs Ora ham was at once patient, and while she has required no doctor since Sullivan ran away from town, or for the past four months, she constantly needed his services after being introduced by the milliner. Her visits to his room were several daily, and all his spare moments were spent in Mrs Graham's rooms, particu larly in the absence of Nr Graham. She gave him diamond ring, and to re- place it bought another, and expected Graham to pay for it. Graham got on to the diamond ring racket, and the pair swore before nigh heaven that there was no truth ;,, ha vi, lives on the case, and finally Sullivan and Airs Graham confessed that they lied about the ring, which Sullivan wore for nearly seven months, and delivered mp to the out ragged husband in the presence of the guilty | wife and their broken-hearted son. MI Graham brought the sheriff to Sullivsn's rooms, but the milliner in her blandest way said the doctor was not in. But Ora ham, with his peculiar ingenuity, talked tC the milliner and innocently told the sheriff to go up stairs, and there he found the doctor in spite of the milliner's story, de manded the goods, and Sullivan gave them up and in an hour after left town pretend ing he was going to Waterbury, where hs belonged. Graham's detectives were on the same train, and they have since un, earthed other things that look ugly, to put it mildly.
 Mrs w. F. Graham was taken suddenly i'll about o'clock yesterday morning al the residence of Reuben Harris, witt whom she has been residing of late, ant two physicians were in consultation on the case. Mrs Graham is considered very sick woman.
 pr Sullivan for over year studied witl Dr French in this city, hayi lg lived her, since he WAS boy. A few days ago h, was married to New Bedford, Mass lady The report as published in this morning. New York Herald surprised his friend very much and they stoutly declare hi | innocence.

 Harrison and Morton.
 "Marley was dead to begin with" And by the same token Patrick McMahon, who presided over the meeting of the Irish American reform" club of Brooklyn, and who lives in the first ward, has always been known as republican, But that is neither here nor there. The club has been formed and the country is saved. Last nights meeting was rather mysterious affair. It was sprung upon an unsuspect- ing public without much warming. Shortly after supper hack containing Q couple of the leaders in the movement ard a stranger, who afterwards was found to be w. A.
