A 3d. D,sillery to Fight the Trustt.

"A 30, 100000 DIsillery to Fight the Trustt.
j. D. Her, a we'll known western brewer,
Is preparing to establish q large distilling
industry in opposition to the whisky trust.
He is in Chicago now for the purpose Of
selecting machinery for a large distilling
plant to cost nearly $4,000. 900. Such an
establishment would furnish oil spirits and
alcohol that the trust now has trade for,
independent of the three outside houses.
It is the idea Of Mr.. Her and his associ-
ates not only to put up o big distillery,
but to combine enough industries with it
to establish a small western town. This,
with the profits from Mr.. Hers breweres,
would keep the distillery aloat even it the
trust gave away its products. 1t will be in
such shape that the enterprise can meet
the terms OF tbs trust ut any stage. The
plant is to be established op the Missouri
river, at some point in the heart of the
corr belt, but Mr.. Her declines to make
the location public with more axactness,

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.

A Young Fellow Captured in
 wnelan's Store On East Main
 Street.
 John Whelan, who keeps a grocery store at 232 East Main street, has been suspicious of late that some party or parties were gaining entrance to his store at night and stealing articles. Tues day night $7 was abstracted from the money drawer and last night Whelan determined to catch the burglar. He did not know whether the thief had a key for the front door or not, so he tied a string to the rear door connecting it with barrel in order that if entrance was made that way it would be discov- cred. Thomas Whelan, a brother of the storekeeper, was placed on watch inside. About ii o'clock young man was seen prowling around the building and soon whispering was heard on the cellar stairs. Whelan moved toward the cellar door and as he did so the burglar spoke saying, "ls that you, Murphy. No answer was made, and thinking the coast was clear, the thief emerged from the cellar only to be met by blow on the head from a cane in the hands of Whelan. Officer Pagan was near by and placed the party under arrest. He proved to be John Riordan, 19 years of age. In court this morning Riordan said he had trouble at home and only went into the store to sleep. Judge Brad street found probable cause and bound him over under $500 bonds to the next term of the superior court.
 Joseph Peavey was fighting drunk last night and when Officer Noonan tried to arrest him he resisted as far as he was able. The officer was compelled to rap for assistance while he held Peavey down on the walk. Officers Blakeley and King responded to the call and be- tween the three Peavey was carried to the station. This morning he said he was only six months in the country and had never been arrested before. He did not remember resisting the officer. He was fined S5 and costs for resistance and had judgment suspended for drunken ness.
 Richard Higgins and Chris Erwin in- dulged in a scrapping match on Spring street last night and were having an in teresting battle until the officers arrived on the scene. This morning Erwin, as it was his first offense, had his case nolled for S7. Higgins was fined Sl and costs.
 Peter Mcdonald, 15 years of age, was brought in intoxicated yesterday. He said the liquor was given to him by some party who had it in bottle, Judge Bradstreet fined him S5 without costs.
 Liquor Prosecuting Attorney Colley entered three complaints this morning against D. J. Mahaney, James Madden and Timothy Horrigan for selling liquor to party after having been warned bv the selectman to not do so The cases were continued one week.

Bison Wright Elected to the Position
 of Road Commissioner.
 The first business to come before the sewer board last night was the adminis- tration of the oath of office to George A. sBoughton, the newly elected com missioner.
 The matter of a sewer on Bank street, from the Nangatuck tracks to the river, as recommended by the council, was taken up and i& was voted 10 advertise for bids, the bids to close September 10.
 Patrick Malone appeared before the board and urged the necessity of build ing a sewer on Ayres street. The board agreed that the sewer was needed but owing to the slIortneSs of funds just at present the matter had to be deferred.
 In the road board hearing was given the property owners on East Main street between Cherry and Dublin street. The sidewalks will have to toe raised here, and the city was willing to raise the curb and cObble the gutterS, provided the property owners would stand the expense of the new sidewalks. A ma iority oJ the property owners were in favor of it. The deciSi,'n of the board was to do the work under these con- ditions.
 The city engineer was instructed to report an estimate of expense for the extension of the culvert from 216 East Main street to the Mad river; also for the extension of Wall street.
 The board agreed to look up the mat ter of the layout of Bergin street. A building line was ordered on Kingsbury street, between North Main street and Park avenue.
 It was recommended to the common council that change of grade be made on Farm street, between North Main and Park streets.
 It was also recommended that cross walks be laid on Welton, Spring, Brook, Grand, Canal, Farm, Dublin and Bridge streets, two on Harrison alley and one on Phoenix avenue ; one catch basin on North street and two catch basins and two receiving basins on the corner of Welton and East Main streets.
 The important business of the evening was the election of a street ins pector to succeed the late James NJ. Colley, Applications for the position were re- ceived from Charles A. Briggs, Robert Fruin, J. NJ. Warner and Bison Wright On the informal ballot Wright received three and Warner one, On the formal ballot Mir Wright received the entire vote and was declared elected. A vote of thanks was passed by the board in recognition of the faithful service of Commissioner Coughlin as acting in- spector during the past week. After passing upon several minor matters the board adjourned for one week.

 C. Il. Squires of Naugatuck, who was manager of the Naugatuck ball nine up to within a week, called at the DEMO GRAF office this morning and said that the statement published in Taesday's issue, to the effect that the manager of the Brass Citys on Monday had flashed $50 in Mir Squires' face, which the latter failed to cover, for game for S100, was untrue. Ex-Manager Squires showed a list of contributors to purse of $50 which was waiting for the Brass Citys whenever they wished to play team for team. Mir Squires said that Carmodv. McAlenny and Dan Phelan were not members of the team who played two weeks ago Saturday and therefore they could not play those men. Any part of $500 stands waiting for the Brass City team if they wish to accept.
 John B. Day. manager of the New York National league team, had a mar row escape from death last week.

In this year of misfortune for him he just missed tragic death.
