EVANS HOME BURNED.
The NeErO's Family May Have Been KnIs.
 by the Mob.


 BARDSTowN, Ky. Nov. 12-Phil Evans' home was burned to the ground, and his family either perished therein or were run away by an infuriated crowd. Who com mitted the act is unknown. All that re- mains to tell the tale was a part of a chim- ney and a few burned logs where the house stood. Ed Halls house, the father of Evans victims, which is only a short dis tance from where Evans house stood, is being guarded through fear that the ne- groes would attack him and his helpless children. All is excitement, and there is no telling what may yet occur. X corre- spondent learned the following: Saturday night two loud blasts, sounding like an explosion of dynamite, were heard by neighbor, followed by about 70 shots in rapid succession. a' |
 None of Evans family. which consisted of his old mother, wife and little girl, can be found or heard of anywhere. Several theories are advanced.
 Either an angered mob was there and blew up their home with dynamite, killing all within, or drove them of and then de- stroyed the house. The authorities will make a thorough investigation today. when it is hoped the truth will be ascer- tained. In the meantime every road and every house in the quiet little place of Samuels Depot is being guarded by men armed with shotguns, who fear the negroes may rise up against them, thinking they had helped in the trouble.
 Phil Evans now lies confined in jail, not knowing the fate of his old mother, who has stuck to him through all his troubles.

Probable Murder at Hamaen.

NEW HAVEN, Nov 13.-Andrew Zeland, a Pole, was arrested at an early hour this morning in barn in Hamden, for stab bing and mortally wounding Oliver Abel, Jr, last night Abel and Zeland had been in attendance on a wedding feast and left for home in company with others at about l0:30. On the way some argument arose which angered the Pole and suddenly he whipped out a knife and plunged it up to the hilt into Abel's right side at the base of the lung. The affair occurred near Shares brickyard. Friends of the wound ed man set upon the Pole and clnbbed him, and another man, Cullen, was also stabbed in the arm by Zeland. This second stAbbing ended the fight and the Pole escaped. The injured man cannot live. His assailant managed to escape cap ture until early this morning. when Officer Lawler found him in the barn mentioned above. He will be arraigned in the city court tomorrow oh charge of assault with intent to kill.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Cannot act as Clerk For tn
 Naugatuck Seleetmen.

Huugerford Cannot act Clerk For the
 NaugAtuek Seleetmen.
 NEW HAVEN, Nov 1S.-In the superior court to-day Judge Frederick Hall granted the injunction asked for by Selectmen John J. German and William Moore of Nauga- tuck, restraining Charles <. Hungerford. who was appointed clerk of the board of selectmen by Selectman Schaetfer from act ing in that capacity. In rendering his de- cision Judge Hall said:
 The clerical work of the selectmen has formerly been performed by one of the members. Schaeffer has no right to ap- point clerk, that I know of. to do the work of the selectmen. I don't believe he has the right to appoint Hungertord, as Hungerford is not member of the board The books have been in the custody of Hungerford. They should have been in the custody of the selectmen. Hunger ford has no right to the books. I don't think any appointment can be made by Schaeffer without the consent of German and Moore. Hungerford was not doing Schaeffar's private work, but was perform ing the public work of the selectmen of Naugatuek. If they cant do the work they can appoint some one else Ito do it; that is a majority of them ~may make such an appointment. Persons that take the office of selectmen should perform the work. Hungerford has been acting under appointment by Schaeffer just the same as when he was first selectman. He hasn't any right to use the books, therefore I shall grant the injunction restraining him from doing any of the work that he has done, heretofore described in this appli- cation"
 Attorney Kellogg wanted to know if Hungerford could not take the books home, which have been in the superior court, but was teld by the judge that Hun gerford had absolutely no right to take the books

LETTERs FRoM THE PEoPLE
gard to To-nlGhts Town Meeting. Edstor of the DEMOCRAT: m

A Taxpayer Talhs Common Sense In Re-
 a gard to To-nlGht's Town Meeting. EdStor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The town meeting called for this evening has for one of its purposes ''the making of an Appropriation for the improvement of the highways of the town, to give employ ment to residents of Waterbury out of work" If remember rightly, at a town meeting held October IA, 1898. 5.OO0 was appropriated to the account of roads not under contract. If this sum has not been exhausted at this early day. and it don't seem possible that it should be. there is no obstacle in the way of the selectmen giv- ing work to the unemployed until that ap- propriation is gone. Why don't the select men, if they desire to help the needy. put the unemployed to work in this depart ments Five thousand dollars will certainly pay all the bills for this purpose, until such time as the weather will put stop to outside work. ..
 But, Mir Editor, there is evidently job and scheme behind this purpose. and they point to an effort to swell the approprla- ton for roads not under contract, to the amount expended last year, namely. SIS, 900.
 This will give our present board of se- lectmen and their cohorts the opportunity they seek of picnicking during the balmy months of next summer time in the high ways and by-ways of this beautiful tax rid den town, and also affording chance to put all the unemployed voters to work next August and September.
 Under the guise of charity and high phil Anthropic motives base jobs have been carried to a successful result.
 Let the taxpayer be ever watchful of his own and the towns interest, and every one who believes in an honest and economical administration of town affairs ought to be present at this meeting. NIGIASr,

He gave his name as John Ferguson and had the goods sent to 22 Leonard street, in that city. Besides the furniture two carpets were laid. and a stove and general furnishings were sent to the same address. This was between and o'clock in the afternoon. At ' that evening Brady drove up to the house with two men in 0 lumber box wagon with a hay rigging attached. They cleaned the house of everything and started of. De tective Cowfes wvs placed on the case and traced the team as far as Wallingford. It was finally located near this city and De- tective Cowles came here to-day. He and Detective Egan drove to Waterville and surprised Brady in his lair. The furni- l ture was also found in use in the house. Brady was brought to the station here and was taken to New Haven on the 3:25 train. Brady is well known to the New Haven police. In 1891 he kept a crib on State street, in New Haven, similar to the one he ran here. A warrant was issued for him for selling liquors. He asked permission of the officer serving the warrant to wash his hands and face. The officer saw him no more at that time as he skipped. In June of the same year he was implicated in the fight with Harry Lane near White Plains and was arrested by Sheriff Pugsley. He asked permission to change his clothes and again skipped. He was arrested last June by Sergeant Cowles in New Haven. He was placed under S1 900 bond. which still hangs over | his head.

 Last Night.

15O Pledge Signers in st. Patrick's Church
 ~ Last Night.
 Rev Father Duggan, pastor of St Pat rick's church, delivered an eloquent lee ture on temperance in St Patrick's church last night. The sacred edifice was filled to its utmost capacity. it being estimated that l, 300 people were present, The rev. erend lecturer dwelt with powerful. effect on the baneful influences of the drink hab- it. both on the physical and spiritual na- lures of the man. The young man grow ing to manhood and becoming the prey of the evil destroyer, until at an early age he evolved physical wreck, was pictured in eloquent language. The eff, cts on the home and family were illustrated, and the sad spectacle of the bedside of the dying man whose constitution was so broken with drink that it was unable to withstand the attacks of ordinary diseases, was vivid ly portrayed. The lecture was a clear cut and masterly appeal to the better man-to the intellectual, to shun the insidious evils of the great enemy of the individual and of the community. At the conclusion about 150 men signed the pledge and gave their names for membership in the parish temperance society. The organization of this society which shall be known as the St Patrick's Temperance society, will be per fected next Sunday.

MURPHY'S SUPPER.

Why the Democrat" Was Not Repre-
 sented at the Party.
 The DEMOCRAT wasn't represented at Murphy's stag party in the Scovill house Saturday evening. It's politeness to wait until you are asked. don't you know. The ''write-ups" of the temperance meetings, in the DEMOCRAT, were all right so far as they went, but no ''taffy" was given and Ned" not being accustomed to such treatment didn't invite us to his supper. Which was really very mean of him as our appetite was on edge Saturday.
 It might interest Murphy to know that one of the most enthusiastic of his news paper supporters in Waterbury when asked why so much space was given to the tenn perance meetings in his paper said; "Oh, :he newspapers of the state have spoiled Murphy. He expects the earth. It wouldn't do for us to cut down the space devoted to the meetings now or people would think interest was dying out"
 The DEMOCRAT recognized the worthi- ness of the cause which MT Murphy advo- cated. but did not propose to become his special organ no more than it would turn its columns over to the Salvation Army.
