The three Republican Senators who were pro-
nounced in contempt last week went before the
Judiciary Committee yesterday not to apologize
but to insist most earnestly that they had been
guilty of no wrong. MessIs. Saxton, OConnor and
Erwin made manly and straightforward speeches
in defence of their course. Observation-Disclosures
Sheehan, it is noticeable, kept an eye on the
committee during the proceedings. The conf
mittee adjourned without deciding the matter
at issue; and it is entirely reasonable to sup
pose, as is suggested in our Albany dispatches
that Sheehan, Cantor & Co. are waiting ioi
final instructions from Senator Hill.

PUSHED FROM A vERANDA.

Domestic Quarrel May Prove Fatal to
John Egan.
John Egan, his wife and children live
at the corner of Pemberton and Ayers
streets. Their domestic life has been
very unpleasant and drunken Quarrels
have been frequent. This noon a row oc-
CURED which may cause Egan's death.
They had been drinking and in the
fight that followed the woman pushed
her husband off the veranda, a dis
lance of about ten feet from the ground.
Mrs Egan did not go to the assistance
of her husband, but a neighbor did and
found that the man was suffering in
tensely. He was taken into the house
and Drs Mcdonald and Higgins were
summoned. Later DR. Bissell, of DIR
North's office, was called and the three
physicians set about finding how bad
the man was injured. They found that
there was paralysis of the tendons of
the legs, indicating that the spine had
been fractured. They could not tell posi-
lively until the man was removed to
the hospital, where a much better ex-
animation could be made whether or
not the spine is fractured. 1t is possible
that the mans injuries will result in
total paralysis, causing death.
Officer Moore arrested Mrs Egan who
at the police station made a stub
born resistance to being locked up,
declaring that she would kill herself
Her little boy accompanied her to the
station ,aud cried bitterly when his moth
was placed behind the bars.
Egan has appeared in the police court
on many occasions, twice on the charge
of assaulting his wife.

GAMEWsLL COMPANY LOSES.

Recent Court Decisions May Effect This
City.
By the decision of Judge Colt of the
United States circuit court in four cases
the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph COM
pany sustains serious defeat in three
cases and wins in one of the suits in
which it has been contesting with the
Municipal Signal company.
The first suit, which the Gamewell
company wins, was brought by the
Municipal Signal company, and related
to electric signal boxes used in a NUM-
cipal signal system.
In the second suit the Municipal Sig
nal company was plaintiff, the Game
well company defendant, and the suit
related to patent covering devices in the
municipal signal system. By this APP
paratus signals are conveyed by cleo
tricity to central station from boxes
located on the streets.
The third SUIT brought by the NUM-
cipal company VS. the Gamewell, on let
tiers patent issued to one Noyes, March
~, 1887, on devices by means of which
the reception of emergency signal at the
mann station is marked by the ringing of
a bell.
The fourth suit was brought by the
Gamewell Co VS. the Municipal Co, and
alleged the infringement of letters
patent issued to Stephen Chester in
June, 1875, relating to an improved
form of signal box for the transmission
of fire alarm or other electric tele-
graphic signals.
The Gamewell Fire Alarm system is
the one operated in this city, and these
suits cover various patented devices,
which by the decisions are necessarily
infringements upon patents owned by
other parties and controlled by the
Municipal company, and in which even
under the existing patent laws, the user
becomes liable as we'll as the manu-
facturer, and unless the Gamewell
company are financially able and
willing to stand in the gap all the many
cities using this system will be re-
sponsible to the Municipal company, if
they prefer to push the matter.

Irish Loyalty"


Andrew Mack gave the initial perfor-
nance of his new play, "Irish Loyalty"
in the opera house last night. The warm
weather prevented many from being
present, but those who did attend were
delighted with the singing and acting of
the genial Mack. His singing brings
memories of the late J. K. Emmett,
while his acting reminds one of the un-
fortunate Seaman. With a little more
practice the company will render able
support. Irish Loyalty" tells a good
story in an interesting way and is bound
to be successful.
THE Colonel"
"The Colonel will be presented at
jacques opera house this evening. The
comedy is full of funny situations, being
amusing and witty. 1t also has a very
interesting plot. Miss Josephine
Florence Shepherd, in the title role, is a
charming success.

health, has returned and is now coupled
to Mark Murphy, whose "O'Dowd's

Mr. Fay will come to Waterbury where
he has so many pleasant associations,

KELLY ON
CHEWING GUN

Chewing Gum appears to be getting
into court unduly. There does not APP
pear to be anything especial about chew
ing gum to take it into the civil courts,
although it is readily admitted that it fills
a very prominent place in the Court of
Cupid; but it struck the civil court in
Reading, Penn, in a rather uncivil man
ner one day last month. Mrs Harmon
Brumbach, milk woman, had Mrs Mary
Resi- arrested for using outrageous and
insulting language. Mrs Resh attempted
to justify herself by saying that she
had found chewing gum in the milk she
had purchased. Mrs Brumbach said she
had no teeth to chew gum with, being in
the uncertain stage between the extrac-
ton of all her molars, bicuspids, etc, and
a new set of store teeth. Ignoring the
fact, that having no teeth she could only
under consideration, settled the contro-
versy against the lady who objected to
gum in her milk by filming her 67 cents
for wo oaths-sort of bi-cuspid, or cur
sorry remarks-which she had used in ex-
pressing her opinions on the chewing
gum.
Why is it that KELLY'S CHEWING
GUM has a fresher flavor than what we
buy in other places Because he is
and receives gum fresh every
week.

WONDERS.
Four Which Are Most Ger.
 tainly Amazing.
Something Which Has Set a
 Great Many Tongues Talking.
And Will Greatly Please and Particularly
 Interest You.

Wonders will never cease. The writer having had four of these wonders come under his personal knowledge, deems them of enough importance to be placed before the readers of this paper: M
 So many people know David Moves of Manchester, N. J., that his own words will be strongest: "I suffered from heart disease for six years," he said, "and for the past two years was unable to do any work whatever was told by my physician that never could get we'll. was also paralyz zed on the right side, from the hip down; and suf- fered severely with lumbago and a trembling of the hands. l am now tax ing the seventh bottle of Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and feel entirely cured of all these troubles, and feel like ia well man. It is the grandest medicine ever made, and all my friends are amazed at the cure"
 The second wonder, Mr Michael Crow ley of "A Laight street. .. New York city, will tell in his own way: was suf- fering from infiammatory rheumatism, and could not eat or sleep, and doctors prescriptions had no effect to relieve me. After taking two bottles of Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I can eat and sleep we'll. and think it has saved my life. I am getting better every day. One week ago I could not walk, now can walk mile. It is a wonderful medicine"
 The third wonder, s. A. Drysart of Nortondale, N. B., will tell himself /: 'For the benefit of those who may be suffering and fail to find relief, I desire to state my case. For over year I suf- | fered from heart disease, a constant pain with severe attacks of palpitation, until | anticipated a sudden death at any time. became weak and debilitated, with loss of energy, despondency, etc. Hearing Dr Greene lecture, he so faith fully described my condition that de- termined to try Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. My, improve; ment has been continuous and rapid. have taken five bottles, and the pain and palpitation are gone. I sleep well have an excellent appetite and feel we'll"
 The fourth wonder is presented by Mrs F. G. Hicks of 32 Avenue A, Wick park, Rochester, N. Y. She says: '1 give this testimonial for the benefit oi others. had given up all hope of be- ing cured; had doctored and tried every thing. My trouble was neuralgia of the stomach. Dr Greene's Nervura Blood and nerve remedy was recommended tc me. I took six bottles of it. It per fectly cured me, and earnestly recon mend it to all.'
 Now, when it is considered that this remarkable medicine is purely vegetable and harmless, and for sale by all drug gists at $1. .OO, it seems strange that SC many people should unnecessarily suffe' from the pains and weakness of disease when this sure and positive cure ii within the reach of all.
 It is the discovery and prescription o the eminent physician, Dr Greene, of B w 14th street, New York, who is with out doubt the m ost successful specials in curing nervous and chronic com plaiuts. He can be consulted free, per sonally or by letter.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-09-29

IN regard to constitutional conven- tion in Connecticut, which is demanded by democrats, the New York Journal of Commerce, which is not party paper, says: "With this state election we have nothing to do, but we have the right to question the following plank in the platform Republican, then and there adopted: We believe in maintaining the plan of town representation which for 250 years has served Connecticut so well. Its attempted overthrow by the democratic party would result in partial disfranchisement of the coun- try towns and prove detrimental to the best interests of the whole state.' There is neither truth nor honesty in this statement. The present system has not served Connecticut well;' but has made her action under it stench throughout the whole country in the nostrils oi decent men who are non-partisans and who believe in truth and justice. A change giving an equal representation to all the qualified voters would mol disfranchise any one, in town or city This is what all fair-mInded men wisf to see done; then let the people cleo such officials as they choose to conduct theIr public affairs"

More of McKinley,s Bad Goods.

The admission of the New York Trib- une that the quality of many kinds of goods has deteriorated under the Nc Kinley law is confirmed by the New York Cloak Journal, which says in its September number:
 Cloak buyers are complaining about the inferior quality of the materials that manufacturers are using this season. So general has the disease become that the retail men claim to be absolutely help less, and dread the time when they will be called upon to explain to their GUS toners why the general run of cloaks are made of such poor materials. From an artistic standpoint the productions of cloak manufacturers are all that is creditable; no one will find fault with the workmanship that has given such excellent results. But if given amount of money could purchase 8 garment of better material 8 year ago than it can today there is still very good reason for dissatisfaction among cloak buyers.
 Manufacturers are willing to admit that poor materials are being used more generally than they should. Their ex- planation is that the woolen goods men secure in the protection of high tariff and certain of a large demand for their products, are abusing their strength, and that they see no way to prevent it.
