COLONEL DoHERTY MORTIFIED.

Lying Dispatch About the Second
 Regiment Sent Out From New York.
 The morning papers published a United Press dispatch from New York which says that the Second regiment soldicry behaved disgracefully in that city yesterday. It is stated that on Liberty street they visited a saloon and broke bottles, glasses and pitchers. It also accuses the regiment of 'holding up" poor peddler of sandwiches.
 Colonel DOherty arrived home with the two Waterbury companies on the 1T train. He was driven to his resi- dence on West Main street, in company with Surgeon Benedict. A DEMOCRAT reporter called shortly afterward and showed the colonel the dispatch. He said that the story was absolutely false: that it did not contain one word of truth. "It is true," he said, "that we rested on Liberty street and had to wait for nearly two hours. The members of Company c did get sandwiches from a vender. but they paid for them. Gov ernor Bulkeley, Brigadier- General Ha- ven and the other officers were near at | the time and not one disgraceful act took place that we could see. I am much chagrined at this false story" Brigadier General Haven was seen by Connecticut Associated Press reporter III NC" LOHuOu dIu SdlU the story was tissue of falsehoods.
 The World this morning says:
 "The commanding officer of the Second regiment, which had the right of line, seemed to be laboring under difficulties as he approached the review ing stand. He pulled his mustache en- ticingly to pretty girl in an upper window and in the recovery lost a stirrup. He reeled in the saddle and the spectators held their breaths for an accident, but he managed to get his foot back in the stirrup and finished his salute without further trouble.''
 The above is made out of whole cloth The fact is, Colonel Doherty suffered greatly from the injuries received at New Haven and only the exercise of will power kept hipl in the saddle until the close of the parade The Worlds reflection was uncalled for.
 | Adjutant General Embler said this 1 afternoon: The charges are absolutely false and slanderous. I know that they are without foundation. The officers in command would not tolerate disgrace ful conduct and the men themselves would not permitit.

Barn Destroyed Rv Fire

NoRwALK, Oct 13.-The barn and car penter shop of Addison Brown of West port avenue were totally destroyed by fire last night. Mir Brown had been cutting corn all day and storing the stalks in his barn. In the evening he took lantern and went out to pack the stalks back out of the way. He placed the lantern on a beam and went to work. A moment later the light fell on the floor and exploded. The blazing oil set fire to the hay and in few moments the barn was in flames, Mir Brown barely having time to get out horses and car riages. The flames spread to the car penter shop and that also was reduced to ashes and valuable tools destroyed. The loss will be over $3,O00, insurance but $500.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Judge Lynde Harrison Gives an Opinion
 in the ThomastOn Election Case.
 Judge Lynde Harrison has given an opinion in the Thomaston election case, at the request of parties interested. He says that the republican ballots sub- mitted to him for inspection seem to be strictly legal; that the citizens and democratic ballots are technically illegal and void; that the selectmen elected are Thomas, republican, Webster, republi- can, and Henderson, democrat, Hen derson's name having been found on a few of the republican ballots; and that he cannot see his way to advising a contest in the courts. The democratic and citizens tickets were thrown out by the moderators because they had printed on them the office registrar of births, deaths and marriages" an office un-
 known.
 Judge Ellis Phelan and Attorney R. A. Lowe are candidates for the demo- cratic nomination for judge of probate of this district. Attorney Lowe is con- ducting a vigorous canvass, but can hardly hope to secure the nomination, if for no other reason than the unfair
 methods used by enemies of Judge
 Phelan to prejudice people against him. He has faithfully performed the re- sponsIble duties of the office and his fees have been reasonable, much less
 in many cases than the amount fixed by law. Good democrats have a way o1
 turning deaf ear to charges based or personal enmity, and there is not much doubt of Judge Phelan's renomination Attorney Lowe is not responsible for the
 attack made upon Judge Phelan, but nevertheless, his chances of securing the
 nomination are injured by it, because people believe that it is merely another | republican move to secure possession oi
 the office by trying to create dissensions
 in the ranks of the democracy. For z precedent see a republican mayor. board
 of selectmen, city clerk and city treas urer.
 The French democratic club will meet

AMUSEM ENTS.
.The XOOdOO."

Thomas E. Murray's new play, "The Voodoo," is one of the funniest things out. IL is a musical comedy in three acts with not a dull moment in it. Murray is a Waterbury favorite since the days of "Our Irish Visitors and i'm proves with age. In "The Voodoo" he has part that gives full scope to his powers as an Irish comedian, and the audience was in a roar from the mo- ment his smiling countenance peeped out from the wings until the curtain was rung down on the last act. John G. Sparks, as O'Brady, ably assisted as a fun maker and in fact all of the char acters seem to have been selected with care. Ada Bothner, Mrs Soltsolder, used to be one of the leading ladies in "A Bunch of Keys" and, of course, was very clever. The singing was above the average, George Preston, tenor, and Miss Zilla Linden, contralto, being re- peatedly encored. Murray and Sparks introduced couple of new songs that will become popular.

nUoYANov AND CONFIDENCE.

To the great crops, the enormous movement of products, the increasing earnings of the railroads and the phe- nomenal ease of money has now been added a new cause for revival of cOnh- dence and of activity in the markets of the United States. This is the in- creasing weakness of foreign exchange. We have lately been providing for the payment of the interests and dividends due this month on the American sure- ties held abroad, but this movement has apparently ceased, and rates of exchange have begun to show the effect of the tremendous volume of exporta- tions from this country. The weakness of exchange, it is believed, will be fol- lowed by further receipts of gold from abroad. Such importations of gold are not needed, however, 10 give relief or confidence to the money market. That is in a condition oi unparalleled ease for this time of the year.
 The New York banks held $l9, ,l6l 300 of surplus reserve last Saturday and their deposits, s446,538, 900, are said to Have been the largest in the history of the Clearing House. It is scarcely to be wondered at that, with the railroads actually doing more business than they can handle with facility, and reporting large increases of earnings, and with plethora of money, brisk demand for bonds should have been developed. The activity in bonds has indeed been the principal feature of the week. The sales in the Exchange aggregated about sl4,- 100000, an increase of $2OO,0J0,0 900 over the preceding week, and in sharp con trast to the dullness and depression which prevailed in bonds, as in everything else, last year at Christmas time. Stocks are also following in the wake of bonds, e1- hibiting increased activity.
 Every one agrees that money from now on will be abundant and the coming year ought be one of great business ac- tiyity and prosperity.

WHENEVER a veal thy man is accused of misappropriation of property, his restoration of portion of it to the rightful owners is too often accompa- nied by a cessation of prosecutions begun against him. Such course is vicious in it's effect on public morals. A conspicuous example is the case of John Hoey, who has just transferred half a million dollars worth of property to the Adams Express company, which
 had begun suits against him as its former president to recover a much larger amount. President Sanford of that company says that the transfer is "a confession of guilt Mir. Hoey denies that he makes any admission of guilt by giving up such an amount of property, but says that it was the quickest method by which he could relieve his possessions and property from attachments and legal complications that might tie up everything he owns for years in the courts. The plain public duty of the Adams Express com pany officials, if President Sanford is right in his declaration as to the transfer being n confession of guilt, is to prose- cute MT. Hoey regardless of that return of property. Any other action on the

My face was yellow, my head dull, and I had such pains in my left side. In the morning when got up l would have flow of mucus in the mouth,
 and bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. Iached all day under the shoulder blades,

It seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. l tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came.

While ransack- ing house in Cambridge, Mass, they entered the bedroom of Miss Margaret E. Russell, who owned the place. That lady, who kept large bell on chair by her bedside for just such visitors, jumped up, seized the bell and not only used it for ringing purposes, but banged the burglars over the head with it at the same time so efrectually that the wounds thus made rendered their Identification complete when captured shortly after on the street, whither they had hastily fed from the attack made on them.
