VIOLATED THE LOTTERY LAW

George PeIlitier Arrested For I'm
lawful Use of the Mails.
United States Deputy Marshal r. G.
Leverage of New Haven, came to this
city late Saturday afternoon and ar
rested George Pellitier on the charge of
sending letters through the mails to the
Louisiana Lottery company.
Pellitier lives st No 8 Rushton place
and is middle aged man. Some time
ago he sent postal card to the lottery
people and the authorities at Washing
ton were notified of the fact, and caused
the mans arrest. Postmaster Doherty
knew nothing of the matter until Mar
shall Leverage came here Saturday and
placed Pellltier under arrest. The card
was addressed to NJ. A. Dauphin, and it
is probable that the information came
from the New Orleans authorities.
This is the first arrest in this district
under the new law directed at lotteries.
A reporter called at Pellitier's home
this afternoon and learned that the man
was in New Haven. His relatives say
that there is no evidence against him
and that he Is innocent,

WORLD OF SPORTS.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
In yesterdays Herald appeared an
article from l.. B. Bristol of Bridgeport
in reference to the tug-of-war between
Co G of this city and the Killing brothers.
1t is an article that is not only mislead-
ing as to the facts in the case, but is also
an article of brag and is headed put up
or shut up. Now, don't Mr. Bristol know
that $50 forfeit has been on deposit at the
DEMOCRAT office for two weeks? He says
his tealn will not come to Waterbury
and pull for 800. If. as he says, his
team is the champion one of the state he
should jump at the chance to catch a
team of farmers for 500. Mr. Bristol
denies receiving a letter from either Mr.
Wagner or Mr. Maloney, The position of
both these gentlemen has been clearly
defined and Notwithstanding that Co G's
offer has been published in the state
papers, even in the home of the Killings,
Manager Bristol seems to be too
obtuse to comprehend 1T. Are the Killings
afraid of their reputation? If so they
should not try to make little of chal-
lenge accepted by Co G in good faith.
Once more here is Co G's offer: The
team will pull the Kings in Waterbury
for 500 side and will give them $50
bonus if they come here. Now let Mama
ger Bristol cover the S25 forfeit in the
DEMOCRAT office or shut up. Co G. TEAM.
w. Wayne and Mr. Bucken, of Jersey
City tug of. war team were in Waterbury
yesterday, trying to arrange a match
with Co q. Both gentlemen were highly
pleased at their reception in the Brass
City, although they did not arrange a
match, as Co G first wished to come to
an understanding with the King broth
ers. Mr. Wayne says his team will pull
the Kings for from 500 to 81 900.

THE QUESTION OF WATER.

The Eyes of Every Taxpayer Upon
the Court of Common Council.
1t is probable that the question of an
additional water supply will be again
discussed m the court of common coun-
cIl tonight. Here are some facts for
the members of the council to weigh
well before voting to increase the city's.
bonded Indebtedness by nearly half a
million dollars
First, the reports upon Quassapaug
and other places, in the matter of eX-
pense, offered by the board of water
commissioners, were arrived at hastily
and can not be relied upon. At least a
member Of the board has stated that
such is the fact.
Secondly, there is no danger of a
water famine. The Mad river, from
which the city is supplied at present.
contains a never failing supply, and by
removing the pumping station above
| the tannery it will be impossible to run
sole leather through the mains, whether
the commissioners neglect to filter the
i water or not.
| Thirdly, taxpayers generally are in
favor of another Investigation by COM
mittee of their number and an expert
enced hydraulic engineer, before taking
final action in the matter. This also eX-
presses the sentiment of the board Of
| trade.
Fourthly, if the council votes to take
the supply of either Quassapaug or Hop
brook without causinga further investi-
CATION to be made, when the question of
Issuing bonds is left to the people it will
surely be voted down.
| The DEMOCRAT has so thoroughly eX'
planned the different sides of this ques-
ton, that it is hardly necessary to go
over the many details again. We have
expressed ourselves in favor of the sup
ply from the Mad river and its tribu-
taries, but sand ready to be convinced
that the other sources mentioned are
more desirable. Let there be a fair in
vestigation. That is all we ask. 1t is
and small, demand.

PARDON RELEASED FROM JAIL.
StIll Insists That He VIII Return
49, to Waterbury.

Charles E. Pardon of this city, whose
arrest caused all the recent trouble be-
tween Governor Hill of New York and
Morgan G. Bulkeley, the "hold-over'
governor of Connecticut, walked out of
the Essex Market prison in New York
yesterday, a free man. No requisition
papers that Governor Hill would honor
had arrived in the young mans case,
and his six days time for detention had
expired.
When told that he could go, Pardon
put on his overcoat and quietly walked
out. A crowd had collected on the side
walk. 1t was said that detectives from
Connections were lurking around for
the purpose of kidnapping him, but
Pardon said he was not at all alarmed.
If that was ATTEMPTED he would create a
disturbance so as to get into the hands
of the police.
Pardon said he would remain in New
York two or three weeks and then go
back to Waterbury to face his accusers.
He believed that owing to the semi
political question with which his case
had bren mixed up strenuous efforts
would be made to convict him in spite
of his innocence. His mother had re-
tanned a lawyer in Waterbury and he
would go back whenever his counsel
deemed it proper for him to do so.

ior of the house is a complete wreck
from the streams of water that
were poured between the walls. No 4
had the first line of hose laid, and two
streams were poured into the building
for half an hour. When the alarm
sounded Driver Brusie of No 2 hose

of the wheels had to be brought from
the blacksmith shop where it was being
repaired. When he did make a start
the gait down Bank street was some
thing startling.
