JUDGE HALLS DECISION.

The Democrats Must Summon All the
Town Clerks and Counters.
In the Phelan quo warranto case at
New Haven, yesterday, it was suggested
by Judge Hall that the democrats bring
into court the election certificates and
counters from every town 20 prove
Phelan's election by the people. The
election returns were allowed by Judge
Hall to be introduced as corrOborative
evidence. Messrs StOddard and Har.
rison had consultation with members
of the democratic state committee, the
result of which was that it was agreed
to accept Judge Halls suggestion, and
steps were taken for the immediate
summoning of town clerks and counters
throughout the state. There are 1877
towns and 800 witnesses, and they will
have to be summoned before the demo-
Gratis can put in their case. This, it is
roughly estimated, will cost the demo
Gratis $4,000.
Deputy Sheriff Pond of New Haven

mony tomorrow morning at II

at New Haven in the case. Town Clerk
Madden was instructed to bring the
records and anything pertaining to the
state election of November, 1890. The
other four were counters of the state
ballots cast in this city and are to give
testimony accordingly.

The preliminary races will take
place on Friday and on Saturday,
the finals of the class races
and the single sculling match
for the championship of the college and
the Ford trophy will occur. Five crews
are entered: the university, juniors,
sophomores and both freshmen crews.

Those who want to see a blood
splitting, fre-eating game of base ball
want to be at the West End grounds on
Saturday of this week at $3.50 p. M, at
which time the AGNES and New Mil
fords will try and pulverize each other.
Last Saturday thsa AGNES were buried
out of sight in New Milford, and for
this they are going to make terrible
revenge or die in the attempt. The
home team is practicing every night
and this shows that the players feel the
sting of defeat, and are determined to
wipe it out with victory. Let all the
cranks turn out and support the home
team.

VIII Not Accept the Majorate of the
Second Regiment.
At meeting last night of officers of
the Second regiment, in New Haven,
Captain B. E. Brown of the New Haven
Grays positively stated that he would
not accept the position of major of the
regiment. Said the captain: ''The
reason 1 have not accepted the Office is
simply the fact that business occupies a
large portion of my time, which, if 1
did accept, would have to be spent in
properly attending to the duties of the
office"
This afternoon Colonel Doherty re-
ceived the following from Captain
Brown:

teously elected, and am sorry to advise

the circumstances which compel
me to form this decision, and thank ing
the officers of the regiment for the high
honor conferred, l remain, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,

PUBLIC BUILDING.
Report of the House Committee In
Regard to Waterbury.

Regard to Waterbury,
In support of the proposed public
building at Waterbury, the house COM
mittee on public buildings have the fol-
lowing to say in the special report made
to the house:
Waterbury, according to the census
of 1890, was then a city of over $4,000
inhabitants and had a steady, rapid and
healthful growth. Its manufactures
and business are of a solid, substantial
character, and are every year iucreas-
ing.
"The business of the postoffice has so
increased the past ten years that it can
not be done without much larger &C
commodations and room than any that
can be obtained for a reasonable rent.
The registered business is exceptionally
large, larger than any other city in New
England, except Boston, and it has
stood second in the list Of New England
cities in its registered business the past
three years; that business is constantly
increasing. The general business of the
Office is increasing at the same time.
Six years ago the gross receipts were
SOS, 463. 02, and the net revenue over all
expenses was SIC, 0O0.40. Last year the
gross receipts were SAT 1851; the net
revenue, $25, 1901.
Gland is very high in the business
portion of the city, and it will be inn.
possible to procure a suitable site and
erect proper building for less sum
than 100000"

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A Wellington Man Run Over BY HIe
Cart and Killed,

Cart and Killed.
George Williams, a native and life
long resident of wellington, while on
his way home from Stafford Springs
Saturday fell from his loaded wagon
and the wheels ran over his chest. He
was taken to his home, the old Willard
Fuller place, Moose Meadow, and died
during the night. He was 55 years old
and unmarried.
Sheriff Henry j. Allen of Litchfield
county, who lives in Torrington. was
run over during a firemen's parade last
night and severely injured. One leg
was broken in two places and he was
severely bruised.
Augusta Frobel, of Meriden, a seven
teen-year-old German girl, dropped dead
at 7 o'clock this morning while on her
way to work. The girl was robust and
her sudden death caused considerable
surprise. Medical Examiner Wilson is
of the opinion that some organic dis
ease was the cause of death as she never
exhibited any symptoms of heart
trouble.
Yesterday while a cargo of coal was
being unloaded at Captain SCOTS dock,
in New London, Maurice Welsh, one of
the men employed there, fell off the
coal run. He fell to the ground, dis
lance of about fifteen feet, and the coal
barrow he was handling, with a load of
coal, fell on top of him. The heavy
barrow struck Welsh on the left side of
the body, breaking his leg at the middle
and dislocating his left elbow.
Shortly after / o'clock this morning
DIR Clemens of Bridgeport was aroused
from his sleep, and hastily summoned to
the home of Joseph Sedler, 116 Willard
street. Arriving there he found Mr. Sed-
Ter, his wife and sister suffering untold
agonies. They were lying on the floor.
DIR Clemens made a diagnosis of their
case and found that all were suffering
from lead poisoning, the result of eating
canned tomatoes. Prompt work saved
their lives.
