CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.
The Road Board ExOnerates the Street
Inspector and Foreman McGrath.

The Road Board Exonerates the Street
Inspector and Foreman McGrath.
The road board held a special meeting
last evening to consider the charges
preferred against Foreman William Nc
Grath of the street department, by
Houora and Mary Cavanaugh. The case
was conducted for the complainants by
Attorney Cole and for Mr. McGrath
by Attorney O'Neill. The attend
ance was so large that the
board heard the case in the district
court room. Attorney Cole read the
allegations and at the conclusion the
fitting between the attorneys began.
Street Inspector Wright had agreed in
the summer of 1892 to excavate cellar
for Mrs Cavanaugh in order to
get material to put on the streets, and
had worked three or four days, when
the women informed him that they
would not build that year, and he de
sisted, it was charged. Mr. Wright de-
MED the agreement. but admitted that
he had taken soil from there for three
or four days because the material was
good. The next spring the owners
/ wanted the excavating finished, but the
| inspector would not do this and MI
McGrath had been applied to and under
took the work. The testimony showed
that Mr. McGrath had several men
working there at his own expense and
that the material was given to the de
partment to top dress several streets
The conditions were practically the
same as those under which many CELLAR
have been eXcavated so that the city
may get material for its streets. II
making the arguments Attorney COLI
scored Street Inspector Wright anC
Foreman McGrath, while Attorne,
O'Neill provoked much mirth. Tn
board then adjourned to the mayor
Office and after considering all that haC
been offered on both sides the followin!
votes were prepared and passed
Voted, that the charges of misCOn
duct in office against William McGrath
foreman preferred by Mrs Honor
Cavanaugh and another are not sui
| stained.
Voted that all persons in the employ
ment of the city in the street depart
ment be and they are hereby fOrbidde
to make any contract with any perso
or persons for the performance of an
work which may be in any way cor
nected with work they may do in thei
, employment by the city.
Voted, that any person desiring I'll
excavation of any cellar or the remOvt
of dirt by the city should first make al
plication to the board of road Commi
sioners and no cellar shall be dug
! any person in the street department III
i | til so directed by said board"

FOREsTERs' CONVENTION.
Arrangements For the Biennial Meetin
to BE Held Next Month.

Arrangements For the Biennial Meeting
to BE Held Next Month.
The national convention of the
Ancient Order of Foresters of America
will begin at Warner hall, New Haven,
three weeks from next Tuesday, and
will continue throughout that week and
may not conclude until the following
Monday or Tuesday. This is the bien-
NAL convention as the Foresters meet in
national conclave only once in two
wears. The last convention was held in
Brooklyn, n. ", in 1891.
At the last national convention held
in Brooklyn, two years ago, the original
law of the Foresters, providing that the
supreme officers should be elected from
the state in which the convention was
in session, was repealed and a substitute
law was passed requiring that the ex-
ecutive council should be chosen from
the floor of the convention. This state
however, and New York and New
Jersey, favor the re-adoption of the old
law and the convention is likely to
favor the change. The Foresters of this
state are satisfied that they are fully
competent to fill the supreme offices.
This biennial convention will be the
largest ever held in the history of the
Foresters and the preparations will be
On an elaborate scale. Every effort will
be made by the New Haven courts tc
give all the delegates royal treatment.

LOCAL BANKERS NOT WORRYING
The Depositors Not Anxious to With
draw Their Money.

The Depositors Not Anxious to With
draw Their Money.
The people of Waterbury have full
confidence in their savings banks, as is
shown by the few depositors who have
given the required legal notice of with
drawal. This is a time of the year
when the factories are not as a rule run
to their full capacity, and when those
not working take advantage of the time
to enjoy vacation. Money is needed
for building and repairing and the
stored capital of the working people is
withdrawn more frequently at this time
of the year than at any other season.
At the Dime Savings bank only fifty
seven notices have been given that
money was needed, all legitimate, and
would have been withdrawn under any
circumstances. At the Citizens bank
twenty-five notices have been given, as
required. The amount to be with
drawn at the Dime bank. at the expira-
ton of notice limit. is $26 900, and at the
| Citizens, $4,000. This showing is ex-
cellent and proof that the depositors
in our city savings banks have no de
Sire to withdraw their funds, but fee
assured that the institutions are safe
| and we'll secured.

Two Husbands Who Neglected to Support

In the police court to-day Elmer Riggs
was charged with non support. His wife
said they were married two years ago
and that he had given her no support
for months. Riggs said that he support

but that she had left him. She had him
arrested for non-support in Naugatuck
and he was placed under bonds. He
would not support her now as he denied
the paternity of the woman's three

company with negroes. He lived with
her, however, since he claimed to have

reason gave him sixty days in Jail.

Kelly Says

The silver dollar is greater than old
a few days ago when Kelly said the silver
dollar was as good as gold the people
thought he must have one of those fits OF
temporary insanity he talks so much
abont but we see that the New York
market to day has proved that Kelly was
right The silver dollar sold at $104 on
the New York market to-day gold only
sold for $lO2t Another black eye for the
editor who says the silver dollar is worth
only s. cents, and this knocks the presi.
dents message out of sight.

fifty cent piece will buy the following
