Only Two Victims Of Election Day
 whIskey In the Dock.
 The case against Abram Cabana for assault on a little boy named Henry Thompson, tried to-day, had more wit nesses summoned than a murder trial. The whole case amounted to about this: The Thompson and Cabana families are at loggerheads and the little Thompson boy has at various times whipped the Cabana girl. The father of the latter remained home from work week ago to discover what the trouble was, and detecting the boy in the act of assault ing the girl he kicked him twice. The court imposed fine of $5 without costs.
 The case against John c. Thompson for assault on Henry Howe was con- tinued until next Saturday. Mir Thomp. son denies striking or taking hold of Howe, only pushing him out of the way. Howe and few other members of the Jeffersonian club were pasting republi- can pasters on democratic ballots when they were discovered. and the return of the purloined tickets demanded.
 Thomas Hackett was fined $7 and costs and James Cosgrove $1 and costs for drunkenness.

Early Morning Fire in Meriden.

MERIDEN, October 7.-At s;30 this morning fire broke out in the coal and wood yard of August Schneider on Cooper street. The fire was burning fiercely when discovered and though the fire department arrived promptly on the scene of the flames made rapid headway. Two large sheds, a wood shed and Schmelzer's barns were burned. In the barn at the time were four horses which were burned or suffocated to death, before they could be rescued, The wood yard is situated very close to the railroad tracks and when the flames were first discovered a pile of kindling wood close by the tracks was burning fiercely. This leads the owner and the fire department officials to think that the flames were started by spark iron the locomotive. The loss is estimated at S5, ,0O0.

IRELAND,s HOUR OF NEED.

to In Vain.
 The famine in Ireland, due to the failure of the potato crop, and to the general depression existing in the <un- fortunate island, has aroused the sym pathy of Americans generally, and in several cities organized efforts for the relief of the sufferers are under way. In Hartford, Mayor Dwight has called a citizens meeting to raise funds for the worthy object. Here in Waterbury nothing has yet been done. The DEMOCRAT proposes to take the ini- tiative step by opening a famine fund, to which we invite all who can to contribute their mite in aid of sorely distressed people. Every little helps' and we believe that our appeal will meet with a ready response. Contributions will be acknowledged through these columns from day to day and it is guaranteed that the money subscribed will be placed where it will do the most good. The list:

RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS.

Democrats Carry Everything With
 the Exception of First SelecGman
 and Collector.
 It was nearly midnight before the tired counters finished their work last night. An hour before that the general result of the election was known, but this did not satisfy the waiting crowd, who wanted more specific infor nation and many waited around the lobby of the city hall until the janitor began to turn out the lights.
 Never in the history of local politics was so much scratching and pasting done. F. J. Brown, J. s. Fay and R. A. Lowe, suffered the most, Brown and Lowe being defeated and Fay elected by only a few votes. A few prohibition votes were cast, but they did not affect the general result.
 In the republican first ward Frank J. Rametti made hard fight, but was de. feated by few votes. In the third the republicans gain two councilmen. The figures are as follows: TOWN TICKET.

Text of the Federal Elections Bill Reported
BY Senator HOar.
WA sHINGToN, April 25.-The Federal
Election bill reported by Senator Hoar
yesterday provides that the chief super
visors of elections now in Office, their
successors and such chief supervisors as
may here after be appointed shall be
charged in their respective judicial dis
tricts, both in person and through the
supervisors of election who may be APP
pointed, with the supervision of Con-
gressiOnal elections, with the enforce
ments Of the National election laws and
with the prevention of fraud and irregu-
larities in naturalization. Whenever
in any city having 10000 inhabitants
or upward or in any Congressional dis
trict not in such city, 100 or more
qualified voters shall petition the chief
supervisors alleging that there is danger
that unless the election is guarded it
will not be fair and free, the chief super
visor shall forthwith forward the petit
ton to the United States Circuit Court
for the district and, thereupOn, it shall
be the duty of the Judge to open court
for the purpose of transacting all bust
ness pertaining to the registration mat
tiers as may by any United States law
there be transacted. The court, when
so open for the transaction of such bust.
ness, may remain in session until the
second day succeeding the election, and
the Judge may exercise his powers either
in open court or in chambers. The
chief supervisors may verify registration
lists and in any city of 81, 900 inhabitants
or upward may cause . house canvass

THE GREAT STRIKE.

Seri0us Condition OF AMAirs h Ch3eaRo-TAl
'0rsas Strike Extending and An Glasses
.AnectedA Getting Beyond the Control d
the Leaders.
CHICAGO. April 25.-It Is the opinion
OF capitalists as we'll as labor leaders
that May 1 will find Chicago in the
midst OF one of the greatest strikes ever
experienced here. The demand for
eight hours will be almost universal
while the employers in the different
trades are all seemingly determined not
to grant the demand.
The carpenters strike seems as far
from termination as on the day the
men went out; the gas filters and har-
ness makers will 20 out Monday, the
brick makers are now out with no as
surance of a speedy termination Of their
strike: and these, with the Is. 900 stock
yards employees who are determined to
get eight hours or quit, makes a total of
about $1,000 men who will, from present
indications be striking on May 1.
Should such general movement be
made, innumerable branches of trades
and industries of less proportion will
follow in the wake of the great outbreak
and business in Chicago will be all but
paralyzed, while fully SO, 900 men will be
idle.
Joseph Gruenhut who has long held
prominent place among the sociaIistic
labor agitators Of this city, and who is
now tenement house inspector and stat
istician of the health department, has
compiled table of figures Of the num-
Ter of laboring people in this city who
will either strike for eight hours on
May or be made idle by strikes in col
lateral industries on which they de-
pend According to this table the
number of, wage workers, male and
female, who will not be at work at thae
time reaches the surprising aggregate Of
about 1880 This covers only the city
as it was previous to last years annexa-
ton of the Town of Lake, Hyde Park,
Lake View, Cicero and Jefferson. The
importance of this statement will be ap-
parent when it is stated that the Town
of Lake alone contains $4,000 people
directly affected by the strikes now con-
templated.
The Stairbuilders' Union held a meet
ing at which it was decided to strike for
eight hours as days work on May l.
The union has about 800 members.
According to current reports the mon
ster demonstration which has been ar
ranged for May as an expression of
sentiment only may, it is now feared,
turn into the beginning of strike
which the leaders will be powerless to
direct much less control. Certainly
many thousand strikers will be added to
the carpenters.
The stockyards and packing house
employees, the stair builders, mill car
penters, gas filters, iron molders and
harness makers, have already announced
their intention of striking. Besides
these the tailors, shoemakers, plasterers,
fathers, cornice makers, metal workers
and many other lines of labor seem de-
termined to join the ranks
The idleness among the building
trades consequent on the carpenters
strike is increasing. The president of
the Bricklayers' Union called at the
strikers headquarters and said that
less than 800 of the $500 brichlayers in
the city were at work. The same state
of affairs prevails in most of the build
ing trades.

CELLAR DRAINAGE.

Some Very Practical Hints ON an Impor-
tant Subject.
A stranger passing into the apart
ments of the cellar should be unable to
perceive any thing but perfect purity
in the air. To secure this desirable re-
suit, perfect drainage, usually by artifi-
cial drains, is required. One point
which should be we'll understood is, to
give the bottom Of the drain form
which will aid the free flow of any water
which might otherwise accumulate. A
broad, fiat bottom, as shown in Fig. 1
of the accompanying cross-sections
would cause the water to spread thinly
over it and not run off; but sharply
narrow channel, bringing all the water
together, as shown in Fig. 2, would pro-
