FIRE BOARD MATTERS.
Republican Members Want 8 Clothing
 Firm to Furnish Coats at Cost.

Republican Members Want 8 Clothing
 Firm to Furnish Goats at Cost.
 At the meeting of the fire board last night Councilman Driggs objected to the passage of bill from the Water bury One Price Clothing company for eighteen rubber coats at $4.25 each. Mir Driggs objected to paying the amount as, he said, the coats could be bought cheaper. ''The last coats that were bought said Commissioner Hynes, ''cost the city $4.25 apiece and i will leave it to any reputable business man in the city if the coats are not well worth the price. The sum, $3. 75, is the actual cost at the factory, and is a price which can be obtained only by the dealer" On motion of Mir Origgs, the board voted to pay only $3.75 for the coats.
 The Gaimwell company sent the fol lowing proposition:
 WATERBURY, Conn.
 Gentlemen-Wed desire to make YOU the following proposition for addition to your fire alarm system: We will furnish one circuit repeater, on switch board for the same, five standard gaIyano- meters, one hard wood stand for same. two combined 15 inch gongs and indica- tors, and 13 non-interfering fire alarm boxes. We will also connect all the of- flee apparatus and furnish the complete outfit for the sum of $1, ,675 and certain apparatus in exchange"
 This proposition is a lower figure than was made by the same company some time ago, by about $500, and lower even than the proposition made by the Muni- cipal company. No action was taken with regard to it.
 On the recommendation of Chief Snagg, William Kilbourn was appointed as permanent hoseman at Citizens Steamer company's house.
 When the matter of extending the fire limits was brought up again Com missioner Hynes arose and objected to taking any action upon it yet. He said he had made inquiries during a week past and had only found one man who was willing to have the fire limits ex- tended at all. They were in favor. of adding on the main streets, but they don't believe in taking such a wide sweep. He moved that the whole thing be indefinitely postponed. Commis, sloner Hart said the men he had seen thought just the opposite, even those who lived on the extreme outskirts of the line. Commissioner Hynes' motion was lost and then the board passed a vote recommending to the common council the establishment of the new fire limits as reported.
 The board then adjourned until Fri day evening.

Fife Huested and Elsie Eastman also captivated the audi ence and received repeated encores with their topical hits upon the Western base ball league. Lester and Williams, Burke and Forrest and Lew Carroll are excellent in their specialties.

 A woman who brides herself on her in sight into the characters of men she meets remarked the other day that man always judges other men by himself as standard. This is the way she fluids one man judges another man:
 A crank-one who has theories about men and things different from his own. A dude-one who dresses better than he.
 A miser-one who saves more money than he.
 A spendthrift- who spends more money than he.
 A snob-one whose social position is better than his own.
 An upstart-one whose social position is worse than his own.
 A rascal-one who owes him money. Ditto-one to whom he owes money. A smart man-one who thinks as he does.
 A fool-one who doesn't.
 The woman went OF in the same strain and gave her own ideas of men. Who agrees with herr These are some of them.
 A capitalist who takes $1, 900. 900. A thief-one who takes $1.
 A statesman-one who talks without making money.
 A politician-one who makes money without talking.
 A laborer-one who goes to work at 6 o'clock.
 A business man-one who gets at work at 10 o'clock.
 A hypocrite-one who says what he does not think and is found out. A great man-one who never opens his mouth.
 A soldier-one who makes killing 8 usiness.
 A murderer-one who makes killing a pleasure.
 A lawyer-one who makes his living out of the quarrels of his fellow men. A physician-one who makes his living out of the bodily sufferings of his fellow men. A merchant-one who makes his living by buying what he does not want to sell at profit wrung from his fellow men.

Election of cleveland and Stevenson.

CA0V0kx8mu Sb4V6mB0ms The election is over, and for the second time Grover Cleveland becomes president elect of the United States. The states of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, h. diana and Illinois, added to the solid south, make up probable total of 256 electoral votes for Cleveland. Colorado, Nebraska and Nevada, by the help of fusion with the democrats, are for Wea- yer. The electoral vote will probably stand: Cleveland 256, Harrison 183, Weaver 15.
 Gov. Russell seems to have been re- elected for the third time in Massachu- setts by very close vote. The rest of the republican state ticket has it's usual round majority. At the present writing both parties are claiming Indiana, Wis consin and Illinois, and the democrats have probably got them.
 The Connecticut legislature will be re- publican in the house by 23 majority The senate is tie-12 to 12.
 Connecticut has three democratic con- gressmen, B. s. Henry, republican, in the first district, being defeated by 547 plu- rality. Congressman Sperry's plurality in 1890 was over 1,200. In the third dis trict Congressman Russell, republican, is reelected by 5s7 plurality.
 The next congress will be democratic in the lower branch by about 70 majority. The democratic state officers are all elected in Connecticut.
 | Senator Keeney's plurality in the dis trict Is four
 Secretary of State Foster attributes the republican defeat to the tariff issue. Other questions entered somewhat into the contest, but not to such on extent as to materially affect the result Nor would 1t have been different if other candidates had been selected or other leaders man. aged the campaign. No administration ever went before the country with a cleaner record. It is the policy, not the personnel of the administration that has been condemned. In this view of the matter, the secretary was gratified that MT. Cleveland was likely to be sustained by party majority in both branches oi congress, so that the new policy may have 8 full and fair trial
 A prominent member of the republican national committee says: "I not only think that we have certainly lost the presidency, but it seems quite probable that after March there will be trans fer of power and responsibility in the United States senate. The democrats claim that they have secured the Cali. fornia legislature, thereby gaining the United States senate by one vote. We are not in position to dispute that. Ii Harrison is to lose the presidency, how. ever, should hope that the democrats would gain entire control of the govern. ment, for which they should be held re. sponsible. They will then be put in DO. sition to legislate or not to legislate, but will not be able to hide behind narrow margin of opposition in the senate to shield themselves from responsibility This great party should be compelled to unmask itself and to put into concrete form of legislation the promises it has made, or acknowledge that it has gained power by false pretence.''
