X NIGGER IN THE FENCE

Which the Tousatonic People Are
 Unable to Trap-Some Curious Coin-
 cidenceS in Regard to Those Rail-
 road Reports-It May All Come Out
 Some Day-Other Matters of Inter-
 est Beneath the Gilded Dome.
 HARTFORD, April 24.-There was noth- ing talked of at the capitol yesterday but the Housatonic matters. The Hobbies of both roads were present and carried on the warfare with flags flying. Both live in hopes and neither will ad- init that defeat stares it in the face. The Housatonic people are astonished over the turn affairs have taken within the past few days. They had reason to believe that a majority of the railroad committee would report in their favor, and in fact, this seems to have been the intention of the committee. The re- port now in the hands of the clerk reads; :'We, a majority of the members of the railroad committee" This would naturally give one the impression that what now is the minority report was originally intended for the majority re- port, but when the report reached the house, the ma jOrity" was crossed out.
 Late ill the afternoon the majority of the committee sent to the house another long*report which in substance condemn ed the manner in which the accounts of the Housatonic road have been written up. This was another black eye for the Housatonic people, The Housatonic people think there is mystery behind the whole matter and so far the roads lobby has been unable to unearth it.
 The act to prohibit appeals from judg ments rendered on the verdict of jury in the district court of Waterbury was called from the calendar and afterwards tabled for future action. It provides that ''No appeal shall be allowed from any judgment rendered on the verdict of a jury in the district court of Water bury. The provisions of this act shall not apply to appeals taken to the su- preme court of errors involving ques- tions of law only, but shall apply to ac- tions now pending in such court. The act shall take effect upon it's passage"
 The famous charcoal bill, which has been before the legislature for the past four years and was passed in the senate last week suffered defeat in the house yesterday. There was long de- Glover of Fairfield, Wolfe of New Ha- ven and O'Neill of Waterbury. Mir Wolfe offered an amendment to the bill making the legal weight of a bushel of hard coal eighty pounds. He said that in all cities there was certain class of people who bought coal by the basket and that usually they din'nt know whether or not they were getting the bushel they paid for. The amendment was adopted MT Glover said that in making the dealers give twenty pounds of charcoal for a bushel was unfair to them and sas legis- lation directly and only in the interests of a few pig iron manufacturers and glass establishments. He offered an amendment striking out all that referred to charcoal and the bill was passed in that shape.

NOLAN WINS THE RACE.
An Evening of Rare and Lively
 Sport At The Rink.

An Evening of Rare and Lively
 Sport At The Rink.
 There was large and interested au- dience at the rink last evening to wit ness the ten mile race between J. D. No- Ian, of Norwich, and T. F. Delaney of New York The race was started at s. 36 by Referee Eddie Begley. Both run ners were in splendid condition and kept we'll together throughout the race, De fancy being in the lead until the begin ming of the last mile when Nolan went to the front. On this mile Delaney slip ped and fell twice, the last time losing so much time that he retired from the race, which was thus won by Nolan. His time was 59 minutes and 40 seconds, which was excellent time for the short track at the rink.
 Nolan will make Waterbury his home and will probably accept a position in a popular cafe. In the meantime he will keep himself in condi- tion and is open to challenge from any runner in Connecticut from one to twenty-five miles. Delaney will start at once to train for ,his race on the 4th of May for the ten mile championship of America, to be run at Newburgh with Aleck Miller of Philadelphia.

GAIErY AT CITY HALL.
The First Annual Sociable of the
 Brass City Letter Carriers.

The First Annual Sociable of the Brass City Letter Carriers.
 City hall was filled with the friends of Waterbury's letter carriers last evening at the first sociable ever given by the as- sociation. Many out of town guests were pleasantly entertained by the com mittees in charge. The hall was taste fully decorated with streamers of bunt- ing running from the chandelier and supporting the gallery. The decorations were done by J. Charters. Leading mp to the stage in front were nicely carpet ed stairs. Prior to the grand march an excellent concert by the Amphion or chestra delighted the large number of spectators who crowded the gallery and lower hall. ..-
 At o'clock the grand march of 25O couples formed on the floor. Leading the march were the letter carriers, each resplendent in full dress suit. Assis- tant postmaster D. E. Fitzpatrick and | Letter Carrier JohnH .Loughlin were the leaders in the march: following were John J. Kunkel, E. M. Fitzpatrick, James A. Slavin, Florence Keenan, Der nard Kilduff, James A. Duggan, John r. O'Rourke and Thomas Luddy. The march was through the left entrance to | the stage, down the stairs ln front and around the hall in pretty figures, form ing one of the incest features of the ev- ening's enjoyment.
 The programmes were unique souven- irs representing letter carriers mail bag. The eighteen dances were com pleted without break in the general amusement. and everybody left the hall with the opinion that Waterbury has a fine looking body of letter carriers and an aSSociation which knows how to en- certain. I. Uffendale gave excellent sat isfaction as master of ceremonies and too much cannot be said for the fine music of the Amphion orchestra.
 Among the out of town visltt IS were the Misses Halleran of Bridgeport, the guest of Letter Carrier James A. Slavin, and Miss Louise Campion of Naugatuck.

There Is No Doubt

That certain stores in each line of busi ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perplexing question to many who are not already well posted IS to know where to go to find goods marked at uniformly low prices, Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits, that is they mark a line of goods al really low prices while the balance of theil stock remains marked at. high prices Of course the general public will soor find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters fo1 the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the paper never materialize We do the largest business in the city. We do business on the square. No hum- bug. No misrepresentation. Every body says that our prices are the lowest. Give us call you will find us the cheapest and most reliable clothing house to deal with in the state of Con. necticut.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.

The Colored Republican Social Club
 of New Haven Will Make a Test
 Case.
 The members of the Republican Social clubi of New Haven, whose rooms were raided by the police Sunday night, say they will make test case that if the au- thorities are going to prevent them from using liquor in their club rooms they will have to go further and treat the Quinipiack, Harmonic and Republican league in the same way.
 They claim they are entitled to the same privileges as those granted to the larger and influential clubs. If they violated the law by having liquor in their rooms then the other clubs they mention have violated the law also. They go further and say that the various German societies of the city who assemble in their club rooms Sunday evening for sociability and for beer have done even worse than they have and that the au- thorities have connived at it.
 They accused a man named Moore with having caused the trouble. He had been member of the club and had been suspended. He complained to the police for revenge.

 George Bidwell, the famous ticket-of. leave man, whose portrait is given above and who was sentenced to prison fol life for the so-called e1 ,000,00 forgery on the renowned Bank of England, is in town to-day in the interest of his remark able book Forging His Chains" MI Bidwell is a fine looking man and chat ted very pleasantly with DEMOCRAT reporter at the Scovill house this morn ing. Mir Bidwell told very interesting narrative to the reporter.
 MT Bidwell said Fifteen years ago the people of Europe were astounded by England. Four Americans, who Austin and myself, were arrested and sent to prison for life. Less than two years ago l was granted a ticket of leave and left Millbank prison to go to Liver pool and sail for America. 1 spent four teen years..and five months of my life in Newgate, Pentonville, Dartmoor, Wook. ing and Millbank prison. For several years 1 never saw the sunlight and l could not imagine the freedom for which 1 so long looked and longed. My brother is now confined in Chatham prison and the proceeds from the sale of my book will be devoted to"eIu SeCuIIIlS nlln HIS freedom. He is allowed to write to me once in every three months and I shall never rest until secure his freedom. Hine Smith, president of the Exeter Hall Young Men's Christian association, call ed to see him a short time ago and the officials of the prison spoke very highly of him as good prisoner"
 MT Bidwells home is in East Hartford and he was asked by the reporter if he ever visited the prison at Wethersfield. II did once,H he replied. ''When I was young man of twenty-five and was courting my wife I took her down to Wethersfeld for drive. We visited the prison and I felt astonished when told that the convicts had to remain locked up in their small cells from Sat urday to Monday. l thought that I should die, but how many years did l spend in solitary continement!'
 MT Bidwell's book has met with re- markable sale and he has been favorably received wherever he has gone. He will remain in the city for a few days and will be succeeded by his agent, Miss N. Teeter, who will canvass the city for the sale of this remarkable work. Among the Waterbury people who have sub- scribed are F. J. Kingsbury, J. Holmes, G. $. Parsons and L. I. Munson.
