Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-07-02

Stray Leaves From q Reporters Not
Book,

a correspondent asks. It indicates that
the corporation is organized under a
special law intended to limit the La
bility of stock holders to the amount that
each individual member has paid or
agreed to pay for his stock. The law
requires that this word ''limited" shall |
always be printed in connection with |
the name of the corporation, to warn
the public that they must look to the
corporation only, and not to the stock |
holders, for the payment of the corpora |
TONS debts.
THE Waterbury Neue Zeitung had a |
long account of the nomination of Mr. |
Cleveland, whom it called Stephen |
Grover Cleveland. Some of Editor |
Loether's friends made fun of the name |
Stephen, so that gentleman wrote to Mr.
Cleveland for particulars and yesterday |
received the following:
Dear Sir: was baptised Stephen
Grover, but when a very young man
discarded the Stephen. My name since
GROVER CLEVELAND.
AT the annual meeting of the Alum
nae of the Congregation of Notre Dame,
the other day, the members compared
notes and it was learned that since 1878,
when graduating honors were first
given, fifty-three young women have re-
ceived the gold medal and diploma. OF
these, fourteen are married-elght of
whom taught school previous to their
marriage-one is dead, three are re-
liglous, twenty-one are teaching school,
nineteen having won d certificates to
teach in the public schools of Water
bury, two are harpists, four are book
keepers and three are church organists.

PHYSICIANS say that a hot spell of
| weather succeeding long damp:period
reason that the evenings and nights are
more or less damp and malarial. Young
unmarried people who are tempted to
linger on porches and verandas long
after the sun has set, will do we'll to
keep this in mind.
THE police commissioners have not as
yet taken action upon the charges
against Officer Allen, nor is it probable
that they will. I understand that the
discipline committee have quietly in
vestigated the case and, although every
body admits that the officer violated the
law, he will not be dismissed from the
force or publicly disciplined, simply be-
cause his victim happened to be a man
who has on several occasions made
trouble for the police. Now 1 claim
that this is wrong. In the first place
Officer Allen did not identify Cavanaugh;
and secondly, he was not justified in
shooting him, anyway. Had the shot
proved fatal, Allen would now be on
trial for his life. The DEMOCRAT is not
knowledge of or friendship for his vic
tim. In fact the writer is not acquainted
with either Allen or Cavanaugh, and
takes sides against the officer because he
went beyond his power and violated the
law. The police department of Water
bury has no better friend than the Dem
oCRAT and no paper is more feared by
law-breakers. But there is a limit to all
things and when policeman shoots
down a drunken man who attempts to
escape it is time to call halt.

THERE seems to be some doubt as tx
whether Colonel Donaghue of the
Hibernian Rifles has resigned, as an
} nounced at the time of the annual con
vention in Bridgeport. A New Haver
paper quotes State Secretary Cunning
J ham as saying that he had not been of
ficially notified of the colonels resigna
/ ton. met Colonel Donaghue in Hart
ford few days ago and he confirmed
the first report that he had rendered his
/ resignation. Once before he had offered
his resignation, but it had been refused
| by State Delegate Murphy and after
+ much persuasion Colonel Donaghue con
{ sented to remain at the head of the
military organization as long as MI
Murphy acted as state delegate. The
; latter's resignation released Colonel
, Donaghue from duties which he enjoy
! ed, but which demanded more time
=. than he could afford to lose.
BE sure you are right and then &c
ahead, is a maxim that still holds good
Two base ball cranks approached a bull
letin board in a local cafe Thursday
evening to see the scores. 1t happened
that the Philadelphia and Washingtons
who had played two games that day
q broke even, each club taking a game
9 the score in each game by singular CO
incidence being 8 to 2.
, "The Washingtons beat the Phillies
!. to g." said crank number one, who's,
eyes happened to rest upon the score o
: the early game.
1 Guess not" repliedhis companion
''the Phillies won 8 to g."
"Look again" said the first.
! Crank two took another look at tn
r score of the second game, not having
yet seen the other score and again de
? cIared that the Philadelphia had won.
