A Half Drunken Man on the Auditorium
Stage Last Night.
Murphy had big audience in the audi
torium hast evening, considering the many
other attractions in the city. Several
business men were on the platform. but
the expected delegation from Middletown
did not come.
T. R. Hyde made short but very inter
esting speech.
Rev Mr. Barton was the next speaker and
his remarks were to the effect that Murphy
should remain in Connecticut and that he
should remain longer in Waterbury. II am
convinced that this is the time for the peo-
pie of Waterbury to free themselves from
the yoke of this traffic" he said. The
real work has just begun"
Murphy then started in to make the prin-
cipal address of the evening and had with
him on the platform man whom he had
called up from the audience, and who was
somewhat under the influence of liquor.
He was made to serve as a text and was
the means, no doubt. of suggesting to
Ned" many of his stories. Drink is no
respector of persons, said the speaker.
1T will ruin the highest as well as the
lowest. Young men, who are in the pride
of your youth, whose hopes are as bright
as the colors of the Rundown. sign this
pledge. l appeal to you in behalf OF
everything sacred and holy, in behalf OF
your little boy. in behalf of your little
girl in behalf of the wife who has stuck to
you through good or evil report, come to

the angel of this reform shall rest in the
heart and breast of every man and woman
in Waterbury,"

ALBIG IN PRISON.
Warden Woodbridge Receives ConvIC
Who VIII BE the Rane of His Life

Warden Woodbridge Receives Convict
Who Will BE the Bane of His Life.
He'll be the bane of your life" said
Sheriff Tomlinson to Warden Woodbridge
Mt the state prison yesterday. when he gave
over to the warden the custody of Charles
W. Albig. Already the warden has seen
enough of his new prisoner to believe that
the New Haven sheriff is a true prophet
Albig and nine other convicts were brought
up from New Haven yesterday. This is
the crop from the session of the New Ha-
ven county criminal court which ad-
journed this week.
Albig was sentenced for six years by
Judge Prentice for assaulting little eight
years old girl. In passing sentence Judge
Prentice said that if it were not for the
physical condition of the accused the SEN
tence would be for life. 1t is Albigs
physical condition that makes his case a
peculiar one. Both his legs and one arm
are paralyzed. His other arm is strong
and useful and with it he can propel him
self around in a wheel chair. Otherwise
he is perfectly helpless. He must be IN
dressed and put to bed, and he must be
dressed again when it is time to get up,
and lifted into his chair. Some one must
be at hand about all the time to wait on
him.
He was very noisy and offensive at the
prison yesterday, swapping his handker-
chief in the warden's face and in other
ways making himself disagreeabls. 1t is
the opinion of the prison authorities that
his mind is affected as we'll as his body.
He certainly acts like crazy man.
Warden Woodbridge had him put in the
lonely west end yesterday, although not in
a cell. The warden says he will have one
man attend Albig during the day and ano-
Their at night. 1t is problem what to do
with him. 1t takes a strong man to lift
him around. for he is large and heavy.
probably as large a man as Warden Wood
bridge. He is about As years old.

Everybody has heard of Mic Arend's wild
cat. The cat was given Mic some months
ago and ever since has been living on the
fat of the land. The cook, n colored woman
at Mics place, feeds the cat, which has
manifested a great fondness for her. When
she approaches the cage, he purrs in the
most pleased manner, but if anybody else
comes about him he Immediately growls
and shows his wicked looking fangs. The
cat is perfectly satisfied with his home.
Two or three times his cage door has been
accidentally left open, but he never even
walked outside to see what the rest of the
world looked like.
However, whenever it occurred that the
cage door was left open, Mic always missed
a chicken. The other day he saw the cat
catch one. He simply crouched down by
the door and waited until the chicken, OBJ
livious of danger, came along, and then he
shot out his paw and had the chicken by
the head. After he catches and kills the
fowl he picks all the feathers of of it al
most rs carefully as a cook and uses his
mouth in the operation while holding the
bird between his paws.-Florida Times

Our Berlin correspondent sends us a sug
gestive account of the way in which Ger
man detachment, operating in east Africa.
was routed by swarm of bees. They
the soldiers, not the bees-were reasoning
with native chieftain by means of gre
nades. The native levies fed, but a swarm
of bees, terrified or exasperated by the
blaze of fire, sailed out TO avcnge the
honor of the flag Their stings drove the
assailants in all directions and nearly
killed an unfortunate sergeant who had
been left behind. These insects would be
an exceedingly cheap defense of African
nations If they could he made amenable to
command.
By a proper understanding with the To-
Gusts, the centipeds, the giant beetles and
the giant ants of Africa they might sue
coed in keeping a very extensive sphere of
influence entirely to themselves. Nothing
can resist a general levy OF the insect
world, as was shown the other day in a
sudden rising of the wasps. For our COM
fort they usually, like the fieas of the
travellers story, want unanimity. The
ants could hardly hate one another worse
for slight differences of color, race or
habits if they belonged to human kind

TO SHORTEN THE ROUTE,
More Rumors Concerning the New York s

More RamOrs Concerning the New York s
New England Road.
Concerning the New York & New Eng
land deal, by which the directors of that
company expect 10 put their trains directly
into the heart of New York city, Man
haitian director says:
The position of Manhattan with re-
spect to New England is simply this: New
England proposes to come to Harlem river
and give Manhattan business there, and
wants Manhattan to build suitable APP
proaches to take this business. This Man
haitian proposes to do"
But the very latest is scheme announced
from New York for the New York & New
England to relocate portion of its line in
Connecticut. At present the line leaves
Willimantic, bends northward to Talcott-
vile and Manchester, and then on to
Hartford From Hartford it turns south
erly through New Britain, Plainville and
Bristol to Waterbury, this portion of the
line making an irregular half-circle.
1t is now proposed to construct new
straight line from Willimantic to Middle
York, Northern & New England road
town. paralleling the Air line division of
the New York New Haven & Hartford
road, and to utilize the Meriden branch of
the New England from Middletown to Wa
terbury. This would make practically a
straight line from Willimantic to Water
bury, distance of about forty-fve miles.
1t is the revival of the route originally con-
ceived for the Air line" between Boston
and New York, and so far as directness is
concerned, would make an ideal line.
This. with the proposed new line from
Brewsters to New York, would shorten the
distance from Boston to New York about
thirty miles. As the New York & New
England is now twenty-one miles shorter
than the route by the Boston & Albany,
the proposed change would be a long
stride toward rapid transit.

Some there are indeed who have discovered

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

A Taxpayer Who Believes in Protection
For Home Labor.
Editor of the DEMoCRAr:
A word to the taxpayers of Waterbury in
regard to letting the contract of pulling or
removing the stumps in the water ''branch."
There were five bidders from the town and
city of Waterbury, one from Birmingham
and company from Winsted. Now tax
payers look at the advertisement for the
bids. Did the committee live up to it2
No. In the first place they said two
hundred dollar bond should accompany
the bid. Was it so? No. The company
awarded the contract furnished no bond.
One of our worthy citizens on the commit
tee offered bond which should not have
been taken, not but what his bond is good
for SIC, 900 or more. There isl ''nigger in
the fence" Let's remove him. The
awardineof this contract ought to be null
and void.ss the contractors from Waterbury
did not know that the stumps could be
burnt until the bids were all in and few
moments before the opening of the bids.
Now how did this company know the
stumps could be burned? Did they con-
suit with the committee? Now taxpayers,
am no contractor for such work, have
offered on bid. There was a contract let
on the water works few days ago and one
of our heaviest taxpayers was only s.. 40 or
Whereabouts higher than the lowest bidder.
The contract for pulling the stumps went
to the same company. Do they pay tax in
the city of Waterbury No, but they get our
good money. Now there is half million
dollars or more to be spent in this work.
Please let some of it come back in this
city.

EAUGATUcK. Nov A chubby faced,
four year old boy of Michael Martins, was
shot in the head and instantly killed on
Carroll street about $50 last evening. For
few days past number of boys ranging
from four to twelve years of age have been
playing wild west scenes. Yesterday there
must have been some ten or twelve lads
and two guns. with the party. One of the
weapons was a double barrelled gun, a
worthless gun brought by a boy of Rep
sentative Mccarthy. but he left before the
shooting occurred. The other was a
double barrelled gun taken by a boy
named Kelliher, from a closet in an upper
room where it had been leftby his brother
in-law before his death some year since.
This gun proved to be loaded, and it is
told by a boy named Clay, was being
handled by son of Matthew Byrnes when
it went off. lodging the charge in the head
of the Martin boy. The lads were all
frightened and ran away leaving the child
lying in the road, where the dead body
was found soon after by Mr. Twitchell,
who-notified the little ones parents. DR.
futile, medical examiner, was called and
found a disposition on the part of the
boys to deny any knowledge of the affair
so he put the matter in the hands of tine
chief of police. 1t is a particularly sad
affair for the Martin family as this is the
ninth out of family of ten children to be
taken and the family has the sympathy OF
many friends.

A Meriden Bicycle Rider Complains of
His Treatment Here.
Fred Eginton, who won fifth prize in
the nine mile road race of the Waterbury
Wheel club last Saturday, received notice
yesterday from the referee that on account
of falling off his wheel, he was set back to
sixth position, says the Meriden Journal.
The Meriden Wheel club boys say this
is the worst decision they ever heard of
The facts of the case are that Eginton had
fourth place secure when boy ran in front
of him causing him to take a tumble. On
remounting, however, he easily finished
fifth and how a referee could make such a
decision is beyond the comprehension of
any fair~minded wheelman.
Possibly, when you stop to consider that
a Waterbury man finished next to Eginton,
whose prize was handsome center table,
while the sixth prize was n 81 pair of
trousers, this may account for the referees
work.
The Wheel club also say that when any
more entry blanks for races under the aus
pieces of the Waterbury Wheel club are
sent to them they will see that no Meriden
rider fills them ont.

Brayton Ives, the new president of the
Northern Pacific railroad company, is
widely known as a Wall street authority
and financier. He has for several years
been president of the Western National
bank in New York city and is director
in several of the most prominent fnan-
cial institutions in the metropolis. He
has long been n leader on the Stock Ex-
change, of which he was president in
1878 and 1879, being the first man to re-
ceive the distinction of two successive
terms in that office. He was director
of the United States National bank
when General Grant was on the board
of that institution and resigned about
the same time the general did.
Mr.. Ives is about 81 years of age and
was born in Connecticut. After gradu-
a4in0 OF Vale i'm 1891 before he was
quite 20 years old, he entered the army
SIS an adjutant and was very soon dis
tinguished for gallantry. Before he was
81 he became a captain of infantry, then
q major, and he was not yet % when he
was placed in command of a cavalry
regiment under General Sheridan. He
was promoted to be colonel of the First
Connecticut cavalry in 1864 and left the
service a year later with the rank of
brigadier general, conferred on him at
the special request of General Sheridan
for meritorious services performed I'M
der his personal observation.
1t was in 1866 that Mr.. Ives went to
New York and entered Wall street cir
Giles as a broker. The measure of his
success is indicated in the summary of
his business history given above. Wall
street has the greatest confidence in his
sound Judgment in financial matters, of
which no better evidence is required
than his election to the presidency of the
Western National bank, in which posi-
ton he succeeded Conrad n. Jordan,
now in charge of the United States sub
treasury in New York city.
Mr.. Ives is prominent in New York
clubdom. He is member of the Union
League, Century, Grolier and University
clubs and was treasurer of the last
named for 10 years. He has achieved
worldwide celebrity as n connoisseur in
rare books and ceramics, and the great
sales of his magnificent collections a
| couple of years ago marked an era in the
