Dockstader's Memory.

The Waterbury correspondent of the
New Haven Sunday Register writes:
Lew Dockstader's local hits at the min
strel show last night were remarkable,
not only as a feat of memory, but as
supplying comprehensive catalogue of
the chief features of interest and dis
cussion IN Waterbury life. He re-
marked the need of a public building
and the nuisance of repairing the old
postofice; canvassed the chances of the
rival applicants for the postoffice, not
vacant until a year from next spring,
and promised to both Brown and Fitz-
patrick; he pledged the new administra-
ton to abate the piggery on Mad river,
from which we get our drinking water
and debated the advantages of the east
and west courses of a new water supply:
he said that we should have electric
cars, a union railroad station, a new
court house and high school bull ling,
if not before the comet struck the earth,
at least before the world came to an
end; he compared the deliberations of
the library trustees over a choice be-
tween brick and stone for building ma
terial with the Importance of the
electoral commission in the presidential
dispute of 1876; complimented the city
on Greene Hendricks familiar re
semblance to Grover Cleveland, and
comforted it with the assurance that
Chris Downey was willing and able to
act as trustee on the estates of all who
happened to die. When the ground is
looked over this Is found to include
about all the live issues of the day.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A New Hartford Woman Found Dead
Field at Preston.

A New Hartford Woman Found Dead in
a Field at Preston.
Mrs Alkaline Plat, aged 80, of New
Hartford, was found dead in field near
Fox's hill in Preston at 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. With her husband
she spent Thanksgiving with Mrs James
Smith of Norwich. Saturday morning,
she straYed away and in the evening
was reported to the police as missing.
Mr. Platt was called and identified the
body as that of his wife. The coroner
found that she died from exposure.
John Burke of Thompsonville was
riding in wagon in that place Satur-
day evening with a loaded gun. He
rested the rifle in his wagon, placing
both hands over the muzzle to lean on
the rifle as a support. A jolt of the
wagon or an accidental blow discharged
the gun and Mr. Burke had a ragged
hole through the palm of each hand
Four fingers were amputated by DIR G
T. Finch of Enfield, three on the left
hand and one on the right.
Alvin Seignoir of Bristol, while lead
ing horse to a watering trough yester
day, was kicked in the stomach by the

BRONSON LIBRARY MATTERS.

The Board of A gents Unwilling to Have
Church Street Extended.
The board of agents of the Bronson
library met Saturday afternoon at 4
o'clock TO consider the question of deed
ing land for the extension of Church
street, without cost to the CITY. Ten
members of the board were present
Messrs briggs and Maltby being absent.
The board of agents were simply asked
to give strip forty feet wide from the
east side of the library lot. The con-
struction of the street and its mainte-
nance, sidewalks, cutters, sewers and
all assessments arising therefrom were
to be paid for by the city. The matter
was thoroughly discussed. The board
are unanimous in their desire to allow
nothing to be done which will lesson
the library fund. The possibility OF
extending Church street some day to
Riverside street by bridging the railroad
tracks and the river, carried with it the
thought of future heavy assessments,
and when the vote was taken it was
found that the necessary two-thirds
lacked one vote.
When this matter had been decided
the question of the material to be used
in the new library building was con-
sidered. 1t will be constructed OF
"washed brick" of a buff color, and laid
in way different from other brick, sc
that the structure will be unique one.
The cost will be $4,000, including
everything, and ten per cent reserve
for extras. The desire of the board was
to have the building a stone one, but
they feared the fund would be too much
depleted thereby.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Water Supply.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

Editor OF the DEMOCRAT:
How often we have a chance in this
city to make use of the old saying,
which runs something like this: You
may make fools of the public a part of
the time, but you cannot make fools of
the public all of the time. Now it is
curious how long the patience of the
public will hold out, in the matter of
obtaining water for the use of the peo-
pie not only for the present, but for the
future. After expanding several
thousand dollar and this after being
| done by order of those who are sup
posed to work for the public good, it
seems to me to be surprising that there
should still be few persons that favor
Hop brook, and in case this does not
prove success, the never to be for
gotten Quassapaug lake: Notwith-
standing they are greatly in the mi
nority, they are as stubborn as mules.
Mayor Webster says that the reservoir
on the upper Mad river is located in a
swamp. Admitting this, what then
Is not the upper part of Quassapaug 10.
Gated in a swamp. If he will take the
pains to investigate this personally, he
! will find that Tyler's cove $50 called)i
! nothing but a mass of mud and pond
lilies with only few feet of water, nc
better than that at Cedar swamp pond
And talking of swamps, have the public
| forgotten how much it was estimated
the excavation of the Cooke street reser
| volr located in a swamp was to cost
If my memory serves me right it was
$4,000. The actual cost think was
about 1853, 900, Now if those parties
who made this estimate made this terri
BILE blunder what are we to expect the
bill will be for excavating the swamp
upon Hop brook If J. w. Webster tells
the truth and q think he knows what
he is talking about it is a question if il
can be excavated at all so as to be of any
use as a reservoir.
But word to those who favor the
east as the spot from which to obtain
our water supply. Stick to it, gentle
men, even if it takes another year OF
two. WIDE AWAKE

BURNED TO DEATH.
Five Tramps Cremated in a Barn at the
Middletown Fair Grounds.

Five Tramps Cremated in a Barn at the
Middletown Fair Grounds.
Five people-three men and two wo-
men-were burned to death at Middle
town Saturday night in a barn owned by
John Hubbard at the old fair grounds in
the northern part of the city. The vic
Tins are unknown, but they are sup
posed to be party of tramps or UNI
brelIa members who were seen about the
place before the fire. They appeared to
be drunk, and it is supposed that they
accidentally set fire to the barn. The
bodies were buried beyond recognition.
Two of them were found at first and ii
was some time before search in the
ruins disclosed the full extent of the
horror. The flames broke out about II
o'clock and the barn was soon complete,
ly destroyed. The loss on the building
is fully covered by insurance.
The bodies of the victims were buried
to-day in st Johns cemetery. Two OF
them have been identified as William
and Catherine Young, umbrella mend
erS.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Runaway Wife. 4"

"The Runaway Wife" will be pre-
sented at the opera house this evening.
The story is pathetic one, telling of the
cruel work of a designing woman in
bringing about the separation of a low
ing wife from her devoted husband,
who, because of his blindness, is depend
ent upon her care. She is made to be-
lieve him dead and returns to her Eng
fish home, leaving him helpless.
Through the agency of their son they
are reunited, an operation restores the
husbands sight, the wicked woman on
her death bed cenfesses her duplicity,
and virtue triumphs in the old way
made familiar and popular through the
agency of the melo-drama.
"a Nutmeg Match"
ga Nutmeg Match will be the at
| traction at the opera house on Wednes-
day evening. The play tells an interest
ing story in forcible and entertaining
/ manner. Its rural comedy is homely
and natural and its pathos is skillfully
| interviewer. The climaxes are strongly
dramatic and consistently led up to,
| while the introduction of a steam pile
driver at work is a striking feature
which is sure to be appreciated. Alto
gether GA Nutmeg Match" looks like a
decided winner.
THE Midnight Special"
