MERMAID FOR DINNER


MonSol Fishermen Feast Upon One of
the Fabulous Creatures.
One OF the men employed in the sea
of Tsushima recently observed very
singular looking fish, says the Tokyo
Shimpo, and Immediately obtained a
spear. with which he killed it. On ex
aiming it. he found that it had girls
head, with human eyes, mouth and
ears; hair was growing on the head,
and there were appeEdages like hands
where the pectoral fins should have
been. This part OF the thing was I'M
doubtedly human. The belly, back and
caudal portion were piscino, their color
brownish black, like the colcr of a
carp. The monster was two feet long
and measured one foot nine inches in
circumference. Here was one of the
creatures known as mermaid (nigyo).
Tradition says that anyone eating a
mermaid shall live one thousand years.
The fishermen accordingly cooked and
ate it, finding it exceedingly palatable,
much superior in taste to Dream or a
carp. The mermaids make their APP
pcarance on the eve of q great tempest,
Tsushima is on the west coast, and it
happened that the day after the capture
OF the strange fish there was q fierce

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Mrs Holston and her two daughters,
Mary and Lizzie, aged Is and IS years
respectively, living on q farm in Lyme,
are lying at the point of death as the
result of a terrible fright that they re-
ceived three nights ago. While the
husband and father was away from
home they heard mysterious noise in
a stove and by the time man who had
been summoned, found that the noise
was caused by a chimney swallow, the
woman and girls had been frightened
into commissions.
The antics of his Jersey COW pastured
in a lot in the rear of his residence on
North avenue, caused j. p. Treadwell to
send down town for a veterinary sur
geon yesterday afternoon, who informed
him that the animal was drunk. There
is large apple tree in the lot and the
COW had eaten plentiful of the fruit and
was staggering around tossing her head

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Bridge COmpany's Complaint Against
the Board of Selectmen.
NEvv Vopu Copt N 1901

A Bridge Company's Complaint Against
the Board of Selectmen.
NEW YORK, Sept II, 1891.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
Dear Sir--I learn through the columns
of your valuable paper that your honor
able board of selectmen have recently
let the contract for some iron bridges in
your town. 1t may be interesting to
you to know that 1 have written re-
Gently at least twice to each member of
the board requesting the opportunity to
submit proposals on this work, and that
not only did receive no reply to any
of my letters, but that no opportunity
whatever was given me to submit a pro-
posal.
The company which 1 represent is
one of the best known in the United
States, and is practically a branch of the
largest iron manufacturing industry in
America.
AS it would not have cost anything to
your town to receive a proposal from us
on this work, it would seem that it
would have been to the interest of the
taxpayers that we should have been IN
vited to bid. Yours Very Truly,
j. G. TURK, Agent.
A copy of the above letter was shown
to the selectmen, who gave a very good
explanation why the Pittsburg Co was
not invited to bid upon the work. Repre-
sentatives from three companies came
here, looked over the ground and gave
figures for the proposed bridges. OF the
three the Berlin Bridge Co was the low
est and received the contract. The letters
spoken of as having been sent to the
selectmen were printed circulars similar
to the advertising matter sent out by
many other bridge companies in all parts
of the country. Bids were received from
the Berlin Bridge Co, the Hawkins Co
of Springfield, Mass, and the King Co
of Cleveland, Ohio.

DEFENSE OF SOUDER.
The Last Murder Trial With Which s. f.

The Last Murder Trial with winch >. Il.
Jones Was Connected.
The death of Samuel F. Jones of
Hartford recalls all the famous murder
trials of the past decade in Connecticut.
The SOuder trial is more recent and is
the last murder trial with which Mr.
Jones was connected. William j.
Souder was put on trial in the criminal
side of the superior court in Hartford on
June %, 1889, for the murder of John Gal
win, an "all hot vendcr of Waterbury,.
Souder was an inmate of an inebriate
asylum, but had been i'll the city and
got drunk. He had a dispute with the
sausage man and struck him blow on
the head with knife. Judge Sanford
occupied the bench at the trial. State
Attorney EgglcstOn was assisted by
Judge Briscoe. SOuder was defended by
Mr. Jones, &. j. Cole and E. l.. Dewitt of
Columbus, Ohio, Souder's home.
The trial lasted two weeks and the
jury disagreed after celebrating several
hours. Two of the jurymen were for
acquIttal, five forsmanslaughte and five
for murder in the second degree. He
was put on trial again at the September
term, the trial beginning on September
H. Judge Sanford was again on the
bench. At the second trial Judge
EgglestOn was assisted by Charles E.
Perkins, and William f. Howe of the
New York firm of Howe & Hummel
was added to the council for the de-
Tense. Again two weeks were occupied
with the trial. On Saturday, December
90, the jury brought in a verdict of
manslaughter, and Souder was SEN
fenced to seven years in state prison.

POLICE COURT,
Agent Colley Reaping Rich Harvest in |
These EVIL DAYS.

Agent COlley Reaping II Rich Harvest in
These Evil Days.
Patrick Delane was before the court
to-day. He landed in Waterbury only a
week ago. He was given 80 and costs
on each complaint of drunkenness and
vagrancy and 60 days and costs for
being a common drunkard.
Edward Kelly, II, was charged with
breach of the peace. On July 20 last
dulged in fight on Bridge street when
Officer Reid arrested both. Kelly broke
away from the officer and has since
been at large. He was fined 81 and
costs.
Edward Smith was given thirty days
in Jail for drunkenness.
Attorney Colley had three liquor cases,
one of which was won by him, Maurice
Mccarthy charged with allowing minors
to loiter. The charge was brought
by the mother of a young man named
Lochrane. Mccarthy in his own behalf
said that he had ordered the young man
from his place on several occasions. The
court imposed fine of $25 and costs,
An appeal was taken. The next case
was against Patrick Kehoe of South
Riverside street. He was charged with
selling on Sunday last. At the conclu-
sion of the states evidence, ATTORNEY
ROOC asked tnaC the case be continued
until tomorrow morning as the defense
could furnish witnesses to prove that
the officer was not where he said he was
and that his story was false. Attorney
COlley with all his pompous dignity
objected but Judge Bradstreet decided
against him and allowed the case to 90
over until tomorrow.
The next case was against John H.
Fruin of West Main street. He was
charged with selling on last Sunday.
A similar case to this one was brought
against Mr. Fruin several months ago,
but he was discharged. A drug store
adjoins this saloon. In the rear of the
store is a,room rented to p. II. Carroll
for club room. There are two en-
frances to the room, one through the
drug store and one from the rear of the
building. Another door leads to a
water closet connecting with the saloon,
but this has been nailed up for months
Last Sunday Officer Blakely saw several
men enter the drug store and go to the
rear. He followed them behind the
prescription counter where they disap-
peared. Later he went in again, when
the door leading to the room was
opened by John II. Fruin and closed
again. The officer said that he saw beer
and liquor on table. On the other
hand four or five witnesses testified that
no beer or liquor was sold there, that
the door was nailed and the men pres
ent were holding a meeting. After the
arguments Judge Bradstreet reserved
his decision until tomorrow morning.

"Two Old Cronies.n

'Two Old Cronies," an old time
favorite with Waterbury audiences,
will be presented at the opera house
this evening. The Detroit Free Press
says: Frank NJ. Wills was irresist-
ible, there is something about
his facial expression and acting that no
other dialect comedian possesses, and he
has that essential to success, personal
magnetism. In short, the whole per-
Torrance was capital, the singing above
the average and the costumes rich and
innumerable.

The Toronto Mail has this to say of

part on the programme as only a perfect
performer and complete master of music.
His violin playing was revelation to
those who had never heard him before.
while his piccolo solos were charming.

Big Deals for '9I and '92.

There is no business which admits of
so many wonderful innovations as the
theatrical business. The present age
might appropriately be styled 1.-The
Realistic" Men with vast capital have
entered the field and their rivalry and
spirited competition have called forth
the most astounding results. The public
claim amusements as one of the most es-
sential necessities of life, and are so
Thoroughly educated as to the merits of
what is good or bad that it pays best to
cater to them by presenting only what
is certain to be stamped as 80. K" One
of the most colossal theatrical enter
prises which will open in New York
city early in August, is the great COM
edy drama, "She Couldn't Marry Three -
for which extensive preparations have
been carried on during the summer.
The scenery will eclipse anything pre-
sented in New York during recent
years, and with the magnificent
company Of selected artists, is sure to
make an instantaneous and unqualified
success. After its New York opening it
will be sent across the continent to San
Francisco with the entire New York
caste, and it is unanimously conceded
by newspaper and theatrical critics that
among the big deals for 81 and '92 will
be found "She Couldn't Marry Three"

pANRuRY,S WATER FAMINE
Believed to be the Cause of Fifty Gases

Believed to be the Cause of Fifty Cases
of Typhoid Fever.
DANBURY, Sept 29.-The hating in
dustry of this town is entirely DEEPEN
dent upon the water supply, not that
water is used for motive power but be-
cause this element enters into the pro-
cess of hat manufacture. 1t is esti-
mated that at the present rate of con-
sumption the water will last here not
more than one week and then the fac
tories will have to shut down. 1t has
been agreed among all the forty hat
manufacturers here that as soon as
one of the forty manufacturers
has to close down on account of
the scarcity of water all the rest
will follow. This means that Danbury' s
principal industry will be paralyzed and
in the vicinity of eight thousand people
will be thrown out of work. To this
unpleasant outlook is to be added the
fact that typhoid fever is fast assuming
alarming proportions. This has been
caused by the low condition of the
reservoirs and consequent poor quality
of water. Over fifty cases are at present
known and already several deaths have
occurred here. The hospital is over
crowded and is still daily receiving ty-
phoid patients. AS the water is grow
ing worse rather than improving it is not
easy to tell how much more alarming
the situation will be.
