CAN NOT DO IT.

CAN NOT DO IT.
 EX-Fire Commissioner Kelly Is Op- posed to the whole scheme, fist, upon the ground that the present volunteer department is the equal of any depart ment in the state, and secondly because the commissioners are exceed ing their powers. Mir Kelly claims that the system will cost the city S15,OOO a year more than the present department, aLd will not show as good results.
 LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
 Patrick Holohan, another large pro- perty owner, is perfectly satisfied with the volunteer department and believes in letting we'll enough alone. MT Holo- han is outspoken in his condemnation of the action of the board and favOrs fight ing the matter to the end.
 ONE WAY TO KILL OFF PHENIX. Alderman F. J. Rametti says the whole scheme was origi- mated by the enemies of Phoenix Fire company. The highest legal authority has been consulted and the action of the commissioners Is re- garded as contrary to law. Alderman Rametti also said that he understood that City Attorney Terry admits that the commissioners, while they have power to hire men, can not disorganiZe any established ire company.
 PHENIX MEN ARE TRUE BLUE.
 T. H. Hayes said he had been connect ed with Phoenix Fire company in the capacity of foreman for nearly fifteen years. that the members were always prompt in responding to alarms and never questioned the authority of their superior officers. Property owners have reason to be alarmed unless the court of
 
 this matter.
 CHRIS STROBEL OBJECTS.
 Chris Strobel did not favor the ''call'' system. He thought Waterbury had a good volunteer department and could if they had this new system.
 BANKER PARSONS IS MAD.
 When the reporter called at Holmes & Parsons banking house, Mir Parsons said he was too mad to be interviewed. He denounced the new system very strongly and said that Waterbury had a very fine department and needed no such change. He was opposed to the action of the fire commissioners.
 PROTECT THE NORTH END.
 John G. Jones said he was very much opposed to the way the fire board had uii ehllissS loI oNSI d yedT I1c tlOuSH HU the north end of the city should have better protection and he favored any kind of a system that would place a steamer in that section of the city.
 THE SYSTEM IS ALL RIGHT.
 Ralph Blakeslee said that he had not given the subject much study but he be- lieved in letting we'll enough alone. He said people seemed to. be well satisfied with the present volunteer department.
 WILL COST TO MUCH.
 Alderman Munson is oppoed to the scheme. "I do not beleive in it." said Mir Munson; for the reason thatit will cost too much money and the volur teer department is good enough for us.
 JUDGE CowELL'S OPINION.
 Judge Cowell said that volunteer de- partment was all right, but when poli- tics is talked and discussed in the houses, as 1t is said, it is time to make a change.

A USURIOUS CONTRACT.
a Jury Renders a StifT Verdict Against q
Money Loaner.

The jury in the case of Maud Blais-
dell VS.. John Scally, trespass on the
case, rendered a verdict for the plain
tiff last night for 5000, and the court
rendered judgment accordingly with
costs. The suit was TO recover a piano,
which was the property of Miss Maud
Blaisdell, and which had been taken ON
a chattel mortgage given to Charles
Batemen. The owner of the piano is a
minor, and her parents gave the mort
gage to secure a loan of S56. The
Blaisdells had paid usury upon the
loan until their payments aggregated
SS4 in the course of two years. Con-
Guiding they had paid enough they de-
cided to pay no more, but offered to
settle the loan by paying SO more.
This was refused, and their piano and
household goods were seized. They
replevined the goods IN Justice Walsh's
court, but Bateman had John Scally
seize the piano again. Suit was brought
against Scally in the circuit court, for
trespasS on the case, with the above re-
suit The suit was conducted for Bate
man by Wood d Wood, and for the
BIaisdelis by Frank G.. Holmes.

Few Hundred Dollars Damage in the
New Nurses Lodge.
Quite a considerable blaze occurred
IN the new lodge building on the south
side of the L. B. A. Home yesterday
afternoon, just before 3o'clock, and but
for the speedy arrival of the fire de-
partment a serious fire would have re-
suited. The wing of the building
under which the fire started has only
been recently completed at cost of
$1,000 and is occupied by the principal
and nurses as parlors, lecture and class
rooms.
The fire started in the basement, but
no one appears able 10 give an lntelll-
gent idea OF Its cause. One room III the
second floor and the principal room on
the third llOOr We're considerably dam
aged, but the entire loss will only
amount to few hundred dollars, fully
covered by insurance.
During the excitement, the janltOr,
Henry CrOssmlre, while endeavOring to
carry out some of the furniture from
the upper part of the house, VAS over
come 10y the smoke and was carried out
IN an unconscious condition. For a
whileit was thought that his sutiOcation
would result seriously but he finally re-
covered. 1t was somewhat surprising
that no panic or even serious fright oc-

The nurses and attendants never for q
moment lost their seH-pOssessiOn, and
the most perfect order was preserved
on the inside, while the greatest con-
fusion prevailed on the outside.

A Doctors Cache Discovered by Mr.
Herrick.
c. III. Herrick came into police head
quarters early after supper last evening
and reported the finding of three vials
OF different colored medicines near the
corner of Lyon and Bostwick-sts. An
hour later he reappeared with eight
more walls, similar to the first, and q
little soft sponge. What the medicines
are intended for, or who lost them. is
the question the police authorities are
waiting To have ans wered. In addition
70 the articles nam ed was a package Of
white papers, evidently intended for
the wrapping of powders. Mr.. Herrick
says ne found the second installmcnt
of drugs near the spot where he found
the first. At the request of the TELE-

examined the contents of the bottle :,
but found them TO be simply such rs a

that the medicines We're OF a dangerous
