The election in Worcester county on
Tuesday passed off quietly and the
Democratic party has received an
unprcccdcntly majority ON such small
vote east. We believe, and 50 do the
party leaders, that the Democracy can.
and will, roll up over 100 majority
over the Republicans at the next elect
ion. The party is in excellent shape.
All that is required is To bring the
vote out which was not done.
The Democracy gives nearly Is lar"c
Il majority is usual, although many
Democrats remained home aiicn,lin" tu

safe anyway. The result Is very crafty

the party in this county is stronger now
Than ever before. The people wf,d right

POLICE COURT.

Domestic Troubles Aired in Court This
Morning-Three Erring Husbands Called
Upon to support Their Families.
Three cases for non support came up
in the police court to-day. Prosecuting
Attorney O'Neill says he is overrun
with non support cases lately and he
wished a law was made stringent
kind. John Uffendale was the first of
the trio. His wife said they were mar
ried twenty-five years and had six
children now living. She says the only
support she received from her husband
in three months was SIT. He was a
good workman, but his drinking habits
had interfered with him. Uffendale
said he was employed as engraver in
ScovilPs shop. OF late his hand had
1 troubled him and he could not attend to
his work. His case was adjourned for
thirty days to give the court an oppor-
tunity to find out whose story was the
most correct. 5n
Thomas Lynch was next accused. His
wife said that she received no support
| from him for twenty-five years. He
| earned pretty good pay, but squandered
| it in drink. Her two children, IA and
II years of age, respectively, supported
the house. Lynch goes home drunk
and beats her on many occasions. For
L G00 pASG U0f60 weeks Sn0 mas refused u
furnish him with anything to eat, and
he has been providing for himself.
Lynch said he had to pay water taxes,
| interest on a mortgage, and had not
enough money to furnish the house. He
was employed by Contractor McManus
at 81 30 per day. The court adjourned
his case for thirty days and ordered him
to turn over his money to his wife anC
let her pay all the bills.
Nj rtin Geisler's wife said that during
four weeks her husband had given hel
only So rs He had worked in New
Haven and in Naugatuck and in many
places in Waterbury at his trade o
butcher. He never came home unit
IL o'clock nights and then was intoxi
Gated. He was abusive and had thrown
out some of her furniture. She haC
taken lady to board with her in order
to help to support the house. Thil
caused him to become insanely jealous
He had lost all his positions through
drink. GeisIer said his wife had tongue
like meat saw and that the woman
boarder was not suitable person t.
have in his house. He promised to pay
his wife Sc per week and paid the frs
installment this morning. His case wa
continued for thirty days.

Chief Engineer Champion complains
that the water company is not giving us
at all times suitable pressure to oper-

tested the water pressure on Wednesday

have been over fifty. We visited both
dams last Sunday and found the large
reservoir running over and nearly so
| with the other. Such being the case
there is no reason why there should not
be good force of water at all times.

This is the month in which the special

go above 81 ,015 900.
