CAssIN vs. PENDY.
A wild Ride to Naugatuck For Five
Dollars and q KeR of Lager.


A horse race which has been on the
tapis for some time and which has been
exciting the sporting blood of the Abri-
gador district, was run this week. The
two quadrupeds whose merits were at
stake are owned respectively by Patrick
Pendy and Matthew Cassin. A five dol.
lar gold piece and keg Of Hellmann's
best were the trophies of victory. After
the arrangements had been made the
fleet footed animals were put into train
ing and the points were worked down 80
fine that when the trotters were ready
for the fray they looked as il they would
enjoy tackling a bag of oats. Both
horses were sound with the exception of
one or two spavlns and probably little
shortness of wind. The sun shone
brightly on the day of the great race
and Dick Phelan, who was acting as
referee, ordered the contestants to as
semble in front of the Buckle shop.
The race was to be to Naugatuck.
Amid the cheers of the assembled
thousands at the word go
the two fiery steeds attempted to start.
The excitement of the occasion probably
caused the ambition of the animals to
ooze out from their protruding ribs. At
any rate the start was a slow one. The
referee drove to Union City and was ex-
aiming the ruins of Renehan's hotel
for an hour and a half before the two
racers came in sight, Cassin being in
the lead. When the horses felt a little
better the referee said he would allow
Pendy three minutes start. This was
satisfactory and the race again started.
The referee arrived at Burns & O'Brien's
cafe in Naugatuck and awaited the ar
rival of the racers. In about a half an
hour Cassin was observed approaching
assisting with his shoulder his tired and
weary horse to the finishing point.
Pendy did not arrive until four and one
half minutes later and some say he had
the horse in the wagon and was himself
doing the racing. The race was given to
Matthew. Time 6 hours, As minutes and
10 seconds.

DEATH CAUSED RY A FALL.
Edward Brennan Was Not a Victim
OF Foul Play.

Edward Brennan Was Not a Victim
OF Foul Play.
Edward Brennan, the man who was
found in a dying condition on the door
steps of his house, on Brennan alley, at
o'clock yesterday morning, as reported
exclusively in the DEMOCRAT, died at
5:25 o'clock last evening.
1t was learned last evening that the
men who assisted Brennan to his home
were Thomas Healey and Patrick Bald
win. Healey found the man lying in a
pool of blood in the gutter on the right
side of Bridge street and with the assist
ance of Baldwin helped him home,
where they left him on the doorsteps,
Mrs Brennan hearing the voices outside
opened the door and discovered her hus-
band lying unconscious on the steps.
After his wounds were dressed he re-
covered consciousness and was not
thought to be in a serious condition.
In the morning there was a change
for the worse and DIR O'Hara was sum-
moned. He at once saw that the inju-
ries were fatal and called in Medical
Examiner North. Brennan sank rapid
ly and died late in the afternoon. 1t
was found that his skull was fractured.
The left eye was swollen and discolored
and back of the right ear a large swell
ing had formed. The skin was not
broken but there was considerable loss
of blood from the ear.
Medical Examiner MOI tn notified Cor
oner Mix of the facts and then proceeded
to make a thorough investigation. He
learned that Brennan had been drinking
during the evening, although it is
claimed that he was not intox icated.
No evidence of foul play could be- dis
covered. On Bridge street at the point
where Brennan was found there is a
telephone pole and the stones in the gut.
ter are covered with blood: The theory
is that the man while leaning against the
pole fell heavily into the cobbie gutter.
Medical Examiner North gave verdict
of accidental death and notified Coroner
Mix that his services were not required.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Fate of Five Year OLD
Clara Drufra.

Clara Drufra.
A shocking accident, by which little
girl lost her life, occurred in the vicinity
of Fleet street, shortly after nine o'clock
this morning.
Clara NJ. Drufra, the five year old
daughter of Oscar Drufra of Fleet street,
in company with several companions
was playing in the woods back of their
home. The children had procured some
matches and one of the boys suggested
that they build a bonfire, and the fire
was kindled, much to the amusement of
the little ones. While the Drufra girl
was putting fresh leaves on the pile her
dress took fire. The strong wind famed
the flames and in a moment the child's
clothing was ablaze.
The cries of the little one attracted
the attention of Patrick Hayes, a youth
who lives in that vicinity, and he threw
his coat around the unfortunate child
and succeeded in smothering the flames.
One of the boys FASTENED to the Drufra
house and informed the child's mother
of the horrible accident. When the
mother arrived she found her child
lying on the ground suffering untold
agonies. DIR Barber was hastily sum-
moned and the girl was removed to her
home. The little one was SO badly
burned around the breast and limbs that
she died shortly after being removed to
her home.

The ''Democrat' Began the War,

The movement which originated in
Waterbury to put a restrainer upon the
itinerant vendor for the protection of
the local merchant, by act of the general
assembly, is spreading, and the several
boards of trade in the state have been
asked to take hold of the matter. Hart
ford has responded favorably and it is
probable that other cities having those
boards of trade will do likewise. The
idea is a good one and it will do away
with these "hy-by-night" concerns who
go about the country swindling the peo-
pie and taking trade from honest mer-
chants. Let the bill pass.

For Further Investigation.

Today a petition to which many
signatures are already attached, is being
circulated. 1t reads as follows:
To the Honorable Court of Common
Council of the City of Waterbury
The undersigned petitioners, residents
and property owners, respectfully ask
your honorable body:
~ To secure the services Of an expert
enced hydraulic engineer to act in con-
junction with the board of water COM
missioners in ascertaining the most fea-
sibls plan for increasing the water
supply.
o. To instruct said board to make a
special report concerning the Mad river,
and the probable cost of obtaining the
necessary supply from that source.
(3) To instruct said board in their
estimates to make provisions for a stor-
age reservoir for the exclusive use of the
factories upon said river.
They therefore ask your honorable
body to order said work.

tional land must be purchased and
cleared, and proper dam, gate house,
etc, built. Since the completion of this
addition there has been no fear of a
water famine"
In 1882 this happy report WAS received
from the commissioners
1.-THE Cooke street reservoir, which,
when full, will contain about 10000, 600
gallons of water, was completed and
partially filed in September. Since then
there has been no complaint of want of
pressure on the high grounds"
Right here let it be remembered that
the Cooke street reservoir cost nearly
double what the original estimate called
for. In 1888 the board reported that
Cooke street seservoir being so nearly at
the same elevation as the distributing
reservoir at East Mountain, it was found
that the springs and the feed from East
Mountain were barely sufficient to pro-
vide a supply for the high service and
that the depth of water in the reservoir
increased so slowly that it was thought
necessary to increase the supply. This
was done by attaching pump to the
main connected with East Mountain and
pumping into the Cooke street reservoir.
On October 1, 1888 the board reported
that a new supply was necessary and
recommended the Hop brook supply, to
cost $3.50, 900. They were instructed to
prepare a revised report and did SO CIV
ing estimates of the cost OF utilizing the
supply from Quassapaug, Hop brook,
Chestnut Hill reservoir, and Lindley
brook.
Now then, gentlemen of the common
council, put an end to this patchwork
system that has been 80 costly. If the
Mad river water is pure-and we will
wager that it is better than Hop brook
and il the manufacturers can be satisfied
that they will not suffer, the Mad river
! is in all reason the best available supply.
At least the matter should be worth an
investigation.
With all due respect for the water
commissioners, we believe that history
shows that they are liable to err in
Judgment. An experienced hydraulic
engineer should be engaged to look over
a million dollars is saddled upon the
taxpayers of this city. People do not
hesitate to say that there is something
in the Hop brook and Quassapaug
schemes" By inviting the closest inves-
tigation and calling in an unprejudiced
and competent engineer the members of
the council will show their honesty in
the matter. Their refusal to further in
vestigate will look suspicious, to say the
least.
According to the report recently sub
mitted by the commissioners there are
seasons of the year when the combined
supply of Quassapaug and Hop brook is
less than s00,000,0O0 gallons day,
about the amount that the East Noun
tain stream, which has practically
played out, supplied in the dryest
| seasons twenty years ago.
