THAT PUBLIC BUILDING.

Reasons Why the Appropriation For
Waterbury should BE Granted.
A special from Washington to the
Hartford Times says:
The committee on public buildings
give the following reasons why Il
public building should be erect
cd at Waterbury The case is
date erection of public building, and
comes within the rule of an appropria-
ton of 100000. The present post-office
accommodations are entirely inadequate
for the wants of the office, and the lease
of the premises will soon expire. No
suitable accommodations for the office
can be obtained except for much larger
rent than the department has been will
ing to pay. The first floor of new
building on the main street, nearly OPP
posite the present office, has Just been
rented for $4,000 per annum, and it is
impossible to get suitable place for
much less than that sum in the cen trial
portion of the city.
Waterbury is a city of over 10000 in
habitants, and has had a steady, rapid
but healthful growth. If the ratio OF
the growth of the past five years con-
tinues, and the character of its business
indicates that it will it's population ten
years hence cannot fall short of 81, 900
The business of the postotfice has SO in.
creased the past ten years that it can
not be properly done without much
larger accommodations and room than
any that can be obtained for a reason
able rent. The general business of the
office is increasing. Four years ago the
gross receipts were $2S, 463.O2, and the
net revenue over all expenses was Sl6,.
OOO.4O. Last year the gross receipts
were $3S, 7l4.70 the net revenue was
$21 ,051.26. The net revenue will pay
tho whole expense Of site and new
building in about four years, from pres
emit indications.

DAVID BOYD's DEATH.
Not Sufficient Evidence to Warrant
Prosecuting Cronin.

Not Sufficient Evidence to Warrant
Prosecuting Cronin.
NEW HAVEN, April S.-Coroner Mix
consulted with State Attorney Doolittle
to- day regarding what action should be
taken in the David T. Boyd case. Ow-
ing to the length of time the body has
been in the water it is almost impossible
to discover the exact cause of death and
the authorities say, however strong the
evidence of murder might be, they
would not feel warranted in prosecuting
unless the exact cause of death could be
proven. Cr' min, the quarryman, who
is suspected of being concerned in
Boyd's death, is still III Jail. 1t is said
that several efforts have been made by
the detectives to pump him but without
success.
Late this afternoon, contrary to ex-
pectations, Judge Phelps of the superior
court issued a bench warrant for the
arrest of John Cronin, charging him
with killing Boyd. Cronin is in Jail
serving a sentence for drunkenness.

A Case Where the Victims Worst Fault
Was Being "A Lawyer.

Was Being Lawyer.
Attorney c. c. Babcock is a very hon
est looking young gentleman, and vet
this morning he was twice taken for 3
thief and once for dead beat.
Mr.. Babcock went into a restaurant on
Third street and deposited his umbrella
in the rack and hung his handsome black
derby hat on a nickel plated hat hook.
When the disciple Of Blackstone had fin
ished his repast he walked over to the
wall and took what he supposed was his
hat, put it on and started toward the
counter to pay for his breakfast.
An athletic gentleman, who was eating
his morning repast and watching his port
able property, roared out:
Come back here, sir, and leave my
hat"
All the ladies and gentlemen in the
restaurant watched Mr.. Babcock as he
replaced .he hat and took his own.
The young lawyer was as mad as a
hornet and somewhat confused at the
conuetemps. Then he walked over to
the umbrella rack and picked up an UNI
brella. The observant gentleman whose
hat 3Ir. Babcock had taken noticed that
it was his umbrella that was being car
ried off, and he shouted II stentOrian
tones:
Drop that umbrella or I'll hand you

3lr. Babcock saw that he had made a
second mistake and soon fished his own
rain shedder from among the many Ota-
ers that were in the rack.
Then he left the restaurant, and be
was called back by the cashier, who
came TO the door and excitedly said:
Hadn't you better come back and pay
for your breakfast: You viii at least
avoid being handed over to the police.
