The train which leaves the Ashe vile

Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off, His rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers-they all thoughtit
was a case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
see his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombc Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. Hetook great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

INTERESTING TO ADVERTISERsI
THE DEMOCRAT" STANDS READY
TO PROVE ITS CIRCULATION.


A Challenge to Our Contemporaries t
Permit an Investigation-A Comparl
SON of the Circulation OF the Loos
DaIlies.
In bidding for the advertising patron
age of the merchants of Waterbury tn
DEMOCRAT has always been fair toward
Its contemporaries. 1t has not used t,
their disadvantage knowledge which i
possessed. While this is a fact, 1t il
equally true that the DEMOCRAT has fol
years been the special target of certain
unprincipled persons who in every way,
but without success, have tried to iniure
Its standing, and prejudice advertisers
against it. So long as the false state
ments were uttered by men of nc
stability they were allowed to pass un.
| noticed.
Recently, however, our attention has
been directed to the fact that an en-.
thusiastic contemporary, through it's
| business manager, has made certain false
claims in regard to circulation and the
respective merits of the Waterbury
papers as mediums for advertisers.
Now, discretion is the better part of
valor. 1t is one thing to make a claim
1t Is another to back it up. The am
bilious young man who gives away the
ought to be more truthful, and should
never draw comparisons unfavorable to
the DEMOCRAT when blowing his own
horn, for these reasons:
First. The paid circulation of the
DEMOCRAT is double that of the Repub.
lican.
Second. Of the fifty or more boys
who sell DEMOCRATS and carry routes,
there are ten who handle more papers
than the entire edition of the Republi-
can.
These, we believe, are the facts, If
our esteemed contemporary is inclined
to dispute them we stand ready to sub
NIT to an Investigation by committee
of advertisers who may, on any day
they see fit, examine the books of the
DEMOCRAT and superintend the distri-
button of the papers to the boys, the
newsrooms and through the mails; pro-
vIded, of course, the same privileges be
allowed by the Republican.
What has the Republican to say to
this proposition?
Furthermore, we believe that the
DEMOCRAT has as large city circuIa-
ton as the Waterbury American. Will
the American, also, submit to have it's
standing made known by an unbiased
committee? Or is it satisfied to know
that in the matter of circulation it has
been over-rated?
The DEMOCRAT stands ready to prove
its claims. 1t has circulation of which
it is proud and the list is growing.
The representative of the Republican
recently stated in E. T. Turner & Co.'S
store that his paper had as large circu-
lation as the DEMOCRAT and expressed
his willingness to wager 500 that he
could prove that claim. When the
DEMOCRAT heard of the bluff and
offered to accept the bet, the Republi-
can man said he only made the state
ment in fun, and completely backed
down.
Now let the manager of the Republi.
can stop making statements that he
knows are false, by his own admission,
or accept our proposition.

An Old Man Says His Spouse Abuses Him
and Desires His Death.
PALMER, Mass, March 81.-Much ex-
element was created here when it became
known that A. Y. Blanchard, one of the
best known residents, had left his wife
and gone to live with relatives in another
State, fearful for his life.
Blanchard is 80 years old and was
wealthy until Of late. Eight years ago
he married a widow also well along in
years. Blanchard had paid up policy
of $40, 900 on his life.
He says his wife desired his death and
has abused him dreadfully for three
years. He has not had food enough, nor
clothes to wear, except gifts from his
friends.
His wife is a large woman and has
knocked him down, pounded and threat
ened to kill him. If he remained out
over stated time she used to beat him.
His doctor told him a year ago he was
being slowly poisoned.
In his wife's absence he took to the
railroad track and finally boarded a train
for Hartford, Conn, where he now is
with friends.

A Tailor Who Was Negotiating with the

Also Arrestsd- Three OF the Robbers

One OF the Gang Escaped.
HAcKENsAcK, N. J., March 31.-A des-
perate fight marked an arrest made yes
terday at Warren Point, near Hacken-
sack. Three enterprising car-thieves
were taken into custody. One of them
was shot before the gang would submit
They had broken open a car of the Erie
Railway and stolen drygoods worth sew
eral hundred dollars.
Bernard Kahn, Jewish tailor, having
store in New York, was visited about
10 o'clock Tuesday morning by four
strangers. They asked him if he wanted
to purchase q quantity Of first class dry
goods TAT bed rock prices" He said that
he did, and the men asked him to accom-
pany them. Kahn hired a wagon, the
party drove to Warren Point, by way of
Hoboken Ferry and the Hackensack
plank road.
They reached the Warren Point depot
by midnight. The horse was tied near
Cno uoPoOI anu bn0 TOUR men took the
goods which they wished to sell from
beneath the railroad platform. Kahn
said the goods were damp from being
exposed to the air, and asked why they
were there.
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when four men stepped from hid
ing places and confronted the tailor and
his companions. Their appearance
startled Kahn. especially as thew held
moi I'M n6 Mt nv,I
panions. One of them commanded the
five to hold up their hands.
The tailor promptly obeyed, but his
companions made a dash at the new
corners and lively fight followed. The
others were ge tting the worst of the bat
tie when pistol was fred, and the man
who had conducted the negotiations with
Kahn uttered a groan, clasped his hands
over his stomach and fell heavily to the
ground.
The fight stopped at once and one of
kahn's companions took to his heels and
ran down the railroad track, disappear
ng in the darkness.
The newcomers, who were officers,
snapped handouts on the men and took
them to the Jail in Hackensack.
Here Kahn learned the truth of the
proceedings which had seemed so strange
to him. The four men were thieves, and
had broken into a car ON the Erie Rail-
road, near Spring Tank, while the train
OF which the car was a part was replen-
ishing its water supply. They had
dropped about $4,000 worth of Irish
point curtains, roll of imported dress
velvet, roll of Brussels carpet, fifteen
rolls OF black dress goods, three rolls of
table linen, a roll of red dress goods and
three boxes of domestic lace curtaining
from the car to the ground. The train
moved of without the robbery being
discovered, and the thieves had secreted
the goods under the Warren Point depot
platform.
The robbery was discovered when the
train reached Ramapo.
Kahn's companions gave their names
as Peter Lawler, James Smith and James
Collins. Smith was the man who was
wounded. His injuries are not serious
and, after being treated by the Jail ply
stefan, he was locksd up with the rest.
