Richard Morgan of southington Wants
Damages.
In the superior court, civil side, at
New Haven, yesterday, before Judge
Prentice. a lengthy argument was made
by Attornies Bennett and Fay in the
suit of Richard Fl. Morgan against the

River railroad company, for 81 900 dam
ages, Attorney Fay having filed de-
murrer to the complaint. Mr. Morgan
claims that while driving over bridge
at the Southington railroad crossing his
span of horses were frightened by the
noise of the engine below and dashed to
one side. On account of, as he claims,
an insufficient railing on the side of the
bridge, both horses fell off, one was
killed by striking the train and the 9TH
er was badly injured.

KELLY SAYS


That the great wheat Spectator Hutch
inson has gone crazy according to the lat
est reports. He had been buying up all
the wheat on the market he could get hold
of, thinking to make big profit by selling
at higher profit and so make flour cost
more. However, when he read Kelly's ad
vertisement in the DEMOCRAT and saw
how much wheat was going to be raised
this year, it overbalanced his mind and
he failed to meet his margins. Therefore
it is with the greatest pleasure that Kelly
informs the people of this city that wheat
has dropped 6 cents per bushel and flour
90 cents per barrel.
Kelly says further that if some butcher
of this city would only show. that the in
crease of beef for 1891 was going to be as
large proportionately as wheat is going to
be, he would probably drive some of the
Chicago meat men crazy, and then the
people would be able to buy meat at its &C.
tual value. Grain has dropped, why
should beef be high9
Kelly opens his famous Tutti-Frutti Ice
Cream parlor to-day at his North Main
street store. This delicious icecream
is frozen by electricity, and every
body knows the effect of electricity on the
nerves.
Fresh Eggs are now selling for 90 cents
dozen. This is cheaper than meat. If
you will buy Kelly's genuine New Eng
land Bread you will never bake.

Stray Leaves From Reporters Note
Book.
The fad for raising stray dimes by the
use of the new pocket bank has extended
enough to call for an immediate and de-
cided check. A DEMOCRAT man was
thus accosted by a seedy looking in
dividual with a fiery breath, the other
night: BEG your pardon, sir. but will
you put dime in this little bank land
he had one of the banks in his hand)
toward raising fund to send my chum,
who is sick at the hospital, to Utica.
When asked to file bill of particulars
about his sick friend he contradicted
himself under the scribe's rapid ques-
tioning, and finally admitted that he
was working new gag" The reporter
did not put a dime into the bank, not be-
cause reporters are uncharitable, or are
always "broke," but because this one
did not wish to aid this latest system of
begging, and did not propose to help
the tramp obtain liquor. :.
There is a demand all along the line
for clean money, and it should be
needed. Many of the bills in use, es-
pecially those of small denominations,
are ragged and filthy. They are an
offense to the eye and nostrils, and 1t
can hardly be possible that the accumu-
latlon of so much dirt do not carry the
germs of disease with them. The ma
tional government, it appears, is ready
| to change this disreputable currency for
clean bills, if proper application is made.
1t is in the power of the banks to pro-
vide us with clean substitutes, and, if
| they cannot keep them as pure as the
bank of England notes, they can at
least greatly improve upon the present

The fire department was handicapped
at the blaze IN the West End few days
ago by rusty hydrant which could not
be used, and upon which much valuable
time was wasted in a vain attempt to
strike water. When questioned in re-
gard to the matter yesterday Chief
Snagg explained that he had nothing
whatever tc do with the hydrants, ex-
cept at fires. At all other times the
water department has supreme author
ity over the hydrants and Chief Snagg
cannot flush pipe or lay a line of hose
without special permit from the water
board. This being the case the water
commissioners should be given special
pect an investigation, for to-day it is an
nounced that Daniel Streeter has been
appointed inspector of hydrants.

ANOTHER SHAM BATTLE.
Will he Fought by the Gallant Second
Regiment.

viii BE Fought by the Gallant secohd
Regiment.
Colonel Doherty says that the report
of another sham battle being projected
was true, and it was his recent sickness
with the grip that prevented him from
further carrying out his plans during
the past week. The colonel has already
two localities for the scene of conflict
under consideration, and he will proba-
bly make a selection next week.
1t is certain that a new battle ground
will be chosen, and, although Colonel
Doherty is reticent about the sites he
has in view, it is surmised that some
spot near New Haven or Waterbury
will be selected. This much is certain
that there is every likelihood that the
Second regiment will have another bat
tie day to take the place of the annual
field day exercises.
