sudden Demise Of the Naugatuck
 Roads Oldest Conductor.
 Amos Beers, the oldest conductor of the Naugatuck road, and one of the best known railroad men in the state, died at Ansonia Saturday evening. He made his usual up trip Saturday, and returned in the evening as usual on the train arriving at this city at 6:07. At Seymour he was taken i'll, and was re- moved to the Arlington house, Ansonia, where he died few minutes after his arrival. Heart disease was the cause. Conductor Beers was the oldest conduc tor on the road, having been in it's em- ploy nearly all the time since it was built. He was about 60 years old. MT Beers son, H. S. Beers, who is conduc- tor on the Derby road was notified of his fathers illness and entered the hotel before his father expired. MT Beers was probably the oldest conductor in the state. He leaves a wife and two sons, one of whom is foreman in Hemin- ways thread mill in Watertown. The funeral of Conductor Beers will take place from his late home, 32 Black Rock avenue, Bridgeport, at 2 p. m. to- morrow.

 John F. Avery of the remote and hilly old Holland county town of Ashford, says the New York Sun, is a spruce but very ditfident young farmer. He wanted nice, comfortable young maiden for a wife, but he didn't know any such girl even in old Connecticut, which is fairly thronged with nice. comfortable girls.
 So in hls dilemma he advert ised for 8 "female correspondent" in several papers, and a real nice girl way down in North Carolina saw and an svered his advertisement.

JUDGE COWELL CRITICIZED.
A Reminiscent Fireman Who fs
 Pretty Well Posted.


 Pretty Well Posted.
 Judge George H. Cowell should be the last man in the town to object to the volunteer fire department upon the ground that politics is discussed in the houses, if the story that Is told about himself is correct. A well known mem- Der of the fire department, ill cenversa- tion with a DEMOCRAT reporter this morning said: Eight or nine years ago on the eve of a local election, Judge Cowell called at the house of Citizens Engine Company and the Mutual Hook and Ladder Co, on South Main street, and delivered little speech, in which he said that he wanted eight or ten able bodied firemen to be on hand at the election to strike from the shoulder and see that things ''went right Our informant concluded by say ing that Judge Cowell would not at | tempt to deny that he made the remarks attributed to him at that time.
 ! In regard to politics in the Phoenix company, Theron Minor another of the older members of the department said today: I have been member of Phoe- nix Fire company for eighteen years and have visited the house nearly every day during that time. No question of polltl- cal nature was ever acted upon at a meetlnS or the company, anu Pollt!Cs was never discussed in the house by the members, except in a general way. There are republican members of the company as we'll as democratic. A copy of the revised bylaws of the Citizens Engine company was left at the DEMOCRAT office Saturday night. The penalties for violation of the rules, and disobedience to the officers while on duty, are about the same as those i'm posed by all the companies of the de- partment. $Among other things fine of twenty-five cents is inflicted for introducing religious or political sub- jects at meeting.
 It is stated that petition will be cir culated by the majority of the manufac- turers, who do not favor the new sys- tenn,

THE PRESTON FIRE TRUCK.

The Manufacturers Will Defend
 Their Rights Against All Who In-
 fringe Upon Their Patents.
 The papers which were served upon City Clerk Kilduff Friday, notifying the city to appear before tie United States court in Hartford to answer to two com plaints brought by the Fire E1tinguisher and Manufacturing company of New York, for infringement of patent, have been turned over to City Attorney Terry for advice. In regard to the alleged in fringement of patent, c, B. Preston & Go, of Chicago, the manufacturers of the truck in use here, publish the follow ing caution in The Fireman's Herald:
 The Fire Extinguisher Company s aerial hook and ladder truck is an in- 336519, which covers the use of side crank shafts for driving the raising screw. And it is also an infringement upon the original Hayes patent owned by the La France Company.
 Suits have been brought by us and by the La France Company against the cities of Minneapolis and Cincinnati for using the infringing truck made and sold to these cities by the Fire EXtin- guisher Company.
 We have also brought similar suits agalnst the Fire Extinguisher Company or its agents in Chicago, which suits we are pressing to a hearing as rapidly as possible. Within six months we expect to have a decision, which we believe will be for an injunction against any further infringement.
