AGAINST HOP BROOK.

A Correspondent Favors the Chest
 nut Hill Water Supply.
 WATERBURY Nov. 6, 1889 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In your issue of Monday evening there is an article upon the water question, from a taxpayer, who thinks there is a "nigger in the wood pile" think there are several. In the reports given by the commissioners the cost of building a reservoir upon the Hop brook stream is less than the estimated cost of reser. voir at Chestnut hill. This seems hardly reasonable, the former being more than a mile further than Chestnut hill. think mistake has been made. Chest. nut hill has not been visited by the city fathers or the representatives of ths press or it's many advantages would be seen. What did the people who knew say in regard to the water of Hop brook? In nearly every instance disinterested parties de. clare that the water of Hop brook in un. fit to use. have been to both places and find the water of Hop brook dis. eased and swampy, while at Chestnut hill there is beautiful lake fed by liv. ing springs, with good storage reser- voir. It would pay our officials to visit the place and see if this is not truth. Ii we are going to have another reservoir let us secure one having pure water.

A DIALOGUE OF FACTS.

MoTHER-"Kate. how is the fair get ting on.''
 KATE-"Oh, splendid. Crowded houses every night and such elegant presents to take chances on. Prominent among them is fine piano and organ to be voted away to the holder of the lucky numbers"
 MoTHER-"Well, now Kate you sur- prise me. Pianos and organs are pretty expensive presents to give away. Father Treanor must have got good bargain. Whose make are they p
 KATE-:'Really, now mother I am equally surprised that you should ask that question; Shoninger's, of course. They make the best. Nearly every house I go into has one, and am beginning to think it is time I had one myself"
 MoTHER-"Surely, now you arouse my interest. Chances on such fine instru- ments are not offered every day. Of course we will take some tickets. Should we win, all right; if not, we will make visit to Shoninger's and buy one of their elegant pianos. They must do an extensive business, and company that transacts the largest volume of business is always best equipped to make low prices. B. SHONINGER 6 Go,

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Speaking of pedestrians the Bridge port Farmer says Herty is said to be worth S11,000. Hegelman, who has won the majority of the races during the last year, is very liberal with his cash and has scarcely any of it left a few weeks after each race. He has always given a large part of his win nings to the men who were compelled to drop out of the race or those who finished too low for a share of the re- ceipts. On last Sunday he gave each of the disappointed peds, enough cash to enable them to live until something turns up for them to engage in. Guer- rero holds himself aloof from the other peds but they say he has no money put away and is, like themselves, often strapped" Whiting of this city, has been releas- ed by the Meriden polo team.
 The last matinee of the season, at the Waterbury driving park, will be held Friday afternoon. Several interesting events will take place.
 Polo games last night: At Meriden- Meriden 6, New Britain 5; at Bridgeport New Haven 9, Bridgeport 8; at Spring field-Springfeld il, Hartford 4.

MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
Question of Night Schools Discussed
 By the Board Of Education.

Question of Night Schools Discussed
 By the Board of Education.
 At the monthly meeting of the board of education held last evening, the question of night schools was discussed, the general opinion being that night schools should not be opened in rooms occupied by day schools, unless the same teacher be employed. Rev Hugh Trea- nor and Messrs Bassett and Mcdonald were appointed committee on night schools.
 The appointment of teachers for the new Clay street school was deferred until the next meeting.
 The board adopted new text book entitled, Practical Lessons iu the Use of English by Mary A. Hyde. At a recent meeting of the district committee the German school society petitioned for room in the Clay or Elm street school buildings on Satur- days, they to assume all expenses and damages. The committee voted to em- power their chairman and the board of education to lease room to the society. At the meeting last evening the board reported that they had no room vacant in the Elm street building. The society expected to obtain the use of the base ment in the Clay street school, so MI l Henderson said. The matter was left to | the chairmen.

ADJUSTMENTS.
stStruck Chs ,,

SCruCA O0S.' ''
 The audience at last nights entertain ment at the opera house was not large, the comedy "Struck Cas- being new to Waterbury. Those who did attend were so we'll pleased, however, that by re- quest the play will be presented again this evening, when a full house will be expected. "Struck Gas" is rollicking comedy, with an interesting plot, intro ducing many clever specialties and some good singing. The company is a good one.
 tsDriftine Apart.o
 Speaking of Drifting Arart' which is booked for Thursday evening at the opera house, an exchange says: That Drifting Apart" does succeed is an answer to the pessimistic cries of certain critics that the public is debauched, and that the theatre is given over into ruin. It is an indication that the public actu- ally know good thing when it sees it, and will come out and applaud, or sit silent before simple, unadorned tale of the Gloucester fishermen.
 s'Uncle Toms Cabin.''
 Peck & Fursman's "Uncle Toms Cabin" company will hold the boards at the opera house Saturday night. Prof Joselyn. Prof Joselyn, who lectured here last winter, will give illustrations of the day night.

SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Sanford Finds Fault With the Accommodations - Two Prisoners

Judue Sanford Finds Fault With the
 Accommodations Two Prisoners
 Plead Guilty and are Sentenced.
 The first case called in the superior court to-day was that of Johanna Sul- livan, accused of fornication. Her plea to the charge was guilty. Attorney Griggs, who had been detailed to defend her made no defense as Attorney Terry said that owing to the length of time the accused had spent in jail he thought she had suffered enough. The sentence was 10 days in jail.
 Henry Neil was next put to plea. His ofense was the stealing of $8O and a gold chain valued at $5 from his uncle. Attorney Donahue made strong argu- ment for his client and the uncle, who had lost the money and chain, also ap- peared in behalf of the young man. Neil is not at all a thief in his general appearance, but as the evidence went to show was drunk when the offense was committed. The sentence of the court was one year in the Connecticut state prison.
 The next case was again against Pasquale Francologia for assaulting Michael Kennedy with intent to kill. The circumstances were that the accused and the person who was injured had an altercation and knife was drawn and
 used, Kennedy receiving two cuts. The
 sentence was one year in jail.
 Michael Russell. who it will be remem-
 bered was convicted of violation of the
 screen law and appealed his case through
 his attorney, James E. Russell, had his
 case continued until tomorrow. William Kelly failed to answer to bis
 name when called. It was another
 screen law case. It was adjourned until tomorrow. Antonia Molleski
 accused of stealing $45 from fellow Polander pleaded not guilty. Attorney Donohue was appointed to defend him. Arthur Leary of Southbury, accused
 of taking and abusing horse and wagon
 belonging to Elias Baldwin, on the third
 of June pleaded not guilty. Attorney
 Root will defend him.
 Here Judge Sanford spoke of the
 uncomfortableness of the court room and the delay in bringing the cases to
 trial and he adjourned the court until
 tomorrow morning at 10 o'clo *. Attorney Terry warned all who had
 cases to be sure and be ready tomorrow
 as no further delay would be listened to.
 The court then adjourned until to-mor-
 row morning at 10 o'clock.

 An alarm of fire was rung from box 15 shortly before 12 o'clock to-day and the department responded promptly, but their services were not required. The trouble was caused by a smoking chimney in the house of Mrs William Ryan, High street. Be cautious of the young man who has a white thread on his coat. Don't approach him and attempt to improve his appearance by removing 1t. The young man will simply laugh at you, and you will find that the thread pulls out to any length. Inside the young mans coat pocket is a spool of thread. The end is carried through the cloth and is left dangling on the outside for any we'll meaning person to attempt to re- move.
 At the annual meeting of the Y. M. were elected: President, l.. J. Atwood first vice president, E. L. Bronson second vice president, I. A. Spencer third vice president, w. c.
