Six We'll Known Citizens Arrested For
 Playing Poker.
 The sensation of the week was the arrest, last night, of a sextetto of poker players, in a room over Pollak's art store on Bank street. The police have been shadowing the place, which is rented to Harry w. Fox, the chiropO- dist, for several weeks, and last night decided to mako a raid.
 It was about 10 o'clock when Sergeant Dodds, Detective Egan and Officers M. Sullivan, McAuliffe and Claffey proceed ed to the place. The door was locked, and the light was turned out when the officers rapped for admittance. After a short delay the door was opened and the officers upon entering found all the par aphernalia of a poker den strewn about the room, which was devoid of furni- ture save for table, few chairs and carpet. MT Fox and five other men who were present were placed under arrest and marched to the station house. All succeeded in obtaining bonds. With the exception of the keeper of the place, it was the first offense charged against those present, and for that reason they are saved the disgrace of having theil names published.
 But they were a choice lot of birds There was an editor, 8 bookkeeper, a telegraph operator, cOachman and { rag-picker. One was a Jew, another 6 Swede, three were Americans and one came from the land of Paderewski.
 This morning the cases were settled \ with the prosecuting attorney, Fox pay ing $50 and the others $15 each.

 Had the valuation of property in this town been placed in the grand list by our assessors where it should have been, our four per cent loan would have sold at much higher premium.
 It is a mistaken policy on the part of our assessors to depreciate the value of
 property and place high rate of taxa
 tion to meet running expenses, thereby
 causing outside parties to think that our
 indebtedness is altogether out of propor-
 tion to our resources, falsely represented
 by our grand list.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

A Writer Presents the Name of John
 :O'Neil For Congress.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The democracy of Waterbury, no doubt, should be conceded the right by the democrats of the Second district to have a congressional candidate at the next election, for the simple reason that the democrats of this city have always accepted and loyalty supported every candidate the democrats of the Second district have nominated. It is about time that Waterbury man should be selected for congress, as that honor has never been as yet conferred on the democracy of this city. There are other and more important reasons why a Wa terbury man should stand for congress, which the writer will not enumerate here. The most important question is, if our local democrats decide on bring ing the name of Waterbury man be- fore the democrats of the Second con- gressional district, who will the man be? The qualifications which a congress. man who represents this district should possess are manifold, chief among them being a thorough knowledge of all matters pertaining to the manufac turing interests of the state, especially the Second district, also a quick per ception of all tariff questions and il such proposed laws were detrimental ol beneficial to the manufacturing indus tries of the state. Now who could thu democrats of Waterbury select as { candidate in whom they could conf dentially rely on to wrestle with all thu knotty problems and legal intricacies O the omnipresent tariff question in con gress? In the opinion of not alone thu writer, but thousands of other demo crats throughout the state, there is on' democrat here in Waterbury who pos sesses the ability to cope and wrestl with every proposed measure whicl would in any way effect the interest Gndustrial or otherwise) of the citizen of Connecticut. This man is Johl O'Neil. Rising from a poor boy to b } one of the foremost and ablest lawyer practicing at the bar, acknowledge
 by all classes throughout New Have
 county, to be second to no other man i the state as lawyer and jurist recognized by the members of tn legislature during his term as repre sentative to be the ablest and mos skilled legislator in the house, such
 brief outline sof John O'Neils stand ing as a democrat and citizen. If tn
 democrats of Waterbury intend placin , man in the political field for congre
 sional honOrs, let them give O'Neil til
 consideration his abilities deserve an
 they will find that they have ma who possesses the ability to give Wate bury and the Second district a nations reputation through the congr, ss of tl United States.

ROMANCE IN a HOSPITAL.
How Boston Drummer Found a wife
Through Temporary Misfortune.

ihioNSh
The spiteful critics of Boston unroman-
ticism would do well TO consider her mod
esty. The essence Of Puritan love was
modesty. And when it was limited TO a
business man of the city that one of his
drummers was to be married after "A most
romantic courtship, although surprised, he
simply remarked that modesty was the
cause for a deal Of silence.
The commercial traveller is Mr.. John T.
Demme, who for four years has had much
success In the employ of the Suffolk COM
pnny Of this city. The young lady is Miss
Julia Il. Love- now residing in Ohio. Mr..
Dcmme is native of Middletown, Conn.
In his youth he was surrounded with but
few Injuries his father being u man Of
but fairly comfortable circumstances Like
all youngsters hcroically or Economically
intended, he was inclined to be rather ex-
elusive.
One day young Demme was thrown from
horse which he was riding, and he was
removed to private hospital, having
broken his leg. Among the nurses in at
tendance was one Julia Love- young, in
experienced, but able maiden. 1t has
never been accounted for, but the nurse,
though still a novice, had the young man
about and convalcscing in an unusually
short time, and, though since then he has
ever limped, yet the atfliction is reminder
to him Of much happiness. In the bare
drug smelling corridors Of that building
patient and nurse brcathed their first
words of love
When Mr. Dcmmc had recovered he was
employed as a bookkeeper by New
Haven firm. He made rapid strides in his
profession and received and accepted an
offer from n Boston company. Just four
years ago ho entered the employ of the
Suffolk company as commercial traveller,
and his career has been remarkably suc-
ccssful lie Las gathered together in these
years considerable fortune, and having
provided comfortably for his parents-his
father died about a year ago--he Is about
to provide home for the young nurse who
alleviated his sufferings and capitivated
his heart.
A few days ago his annual vacation be-
gan, and after going to his home at Middle
town for day or two of antenuptial prep
aration, he left for the home of his west
ern love. The company received an epistle
from Linn, in which he innocently says that
che will take II run out west for few
days"
The prospective bridegroom is well known
in business life in this and other cities
AS a citizen of Middletown he is highly
respected, but as a successfuland romantic
sutton he is most to be admired. One of
the interesting features of the case is that
his Youngest sister became trained nurse
through the influence of his bride to be.
The marriage will take place in Ohio
though the license, to add to the romance
has been taken out in the town in which
they first met -B0stDn ,JOuru1l
