About SeO.OOO spent Upon the Town
 Roads Last Year-The Annual Report
 Does Not Tell Who Received the Money.
 The general statutes provide that select men at the annual town meeting shall make a report of their doings for the pre- ceding year It has been the time honored custom in Waterbury to publish the annual report five days before election. We believe n vote to that effect was taken at town meeting few years ago. It was also voted to publish in the annual re port the payroll of the roads not under contract.
 In the report of the selectmen for the past year the orders for the roads not under contract payroll were drawn in favor of First Selectman Pinney. superintendent of highways. How he distributed the money, or to whom, will probably never be known, as the payroll instead of being published Is conspicuous by its absence. Daring the fiscal year the orders for roads not under contract were as follows: Octo- Der. 1892, S1 ,232, S704. 25; November, Sl .O1 -.25. S4SS, S13.5O: December, S4O1.- 75, Sl57: January, 1893. $l5l, Sl53; Feb runry, S16s, Sl55.75; March, S239, S2l5.- 75; April. S9O5. 50. S1 .20S.5u; May, S9To, S?S3. .O1; June.

Besides this i other orders were drawn on account of roads amounting to S2. .1SS.37 Then there was Mir Pinney's salary as superintendent 1 $500, and $1O4 rent for George A. Boughton' l barn. making grand total of Sl9, ,S67 3s l spent upon roads, not including bridges 1 Why the town should hire a barn ron 1 Setectman Boughton is not clear The cost ot the shear shop bridg, which was built during the veal was as follows: Abutments, S1 ,539.30 Berlin Bridge Co, s3.2OO. In 1889 th' road expenses were S10, 294 .65, while il 1884 the work was done at Il cost S4 .S01 .4G We have but very little more roads to car for now than we had ten years ag" and Y" the cost has increased four-fold.
 The amount drawn by Selectman Pinnr, for travelling expenses is also being com mented upon. He drew eight orders charged to travelling expenses, as follows SlS.30. S20. $27 50. S42.10. S20. S40.5u S2n. S3S G.. d total of S227.l5. In 1SS the travelling expenses amounted to Slt

How They Have Been Absorbed by thr
 Great Consolidated.
 \ significant fact brought out i'll the an nual report of the Consolidated railroad company, just issued, is the absorption of connecting and leased roads under the plan for exchange of stock with the greater cor poration. Int company has completely absorbed the Connecticut Valley and Suuthington roads all the stock being now exchanged.
 Out of 24 6un shares of the Northaml- ton company the Consolidated holds 24 ,O35 It holds 15.7 725 of the Air Lines 29,9S9 shares S,O6S of the Shore Lines lO,Wh shares, 9,551 of the Naumtuck's 2O,OOO shares, 22, ,52S of the Housatonic's 2S. 756 shares, $. 92S of the Danbury X Norwalk' 'S F GOO shares. and 3.497 of the Derby roads 4,I1O shares, while the Stamford & | New Canaan k absolutely absorbed and the Consolidated company also controls the Shepaug road. which does not appear in the report.
 Outside of the Old Colony system. where the merger will also soon he com 1 pleted, il appears that in" Consolidated cnmplny's scheme nf a merger by "N- change has been successful in th" c.lNr' of all the leased roads except the Nangatnck. In thnt ease only a few hundred shares ar" needed for control.

After Due Consideration.

In Illinois there is an old law on the statute books to the effect that in crimi- nal cases the jury is judge of the law as well as the facts" Though not often quoted, once in awhile q lawyer with & desperate case makes use of it. In one case the judge instructed the jury that it was to judge the law as well as the facts, but added that it was not to judge of the law unless it was fully satisfied that it knew more law than the judge. An outrageous verdict was brought in, contrary to all instructions of the court, who felt called upon to rebuke the jury. At last one old farmer arose.
 "Jedge," said he, weren't we to jedge the law as well as the facts?"
 Certainly" was the response, but l told you not to judge the law unless you were clearly satisfied that you knew the law better than did"
 Well, jedge." answered the farmer as he shifted his quid, i've considered that pint. San Francisco ArGonnnt-

 HARTFORD, Oct ll.-Patrick Cavitt made a murderous assault at 9:30 last night on Mrs Patrick Roach in the little hamlet of Woodlawn in East Hartford. Cavitt had been drinking very heavily of late. H." boarded for some time with Mrs Roach
 Last night his debauchcry became in- tulerable to her and she told him that he must find another boarding place. Cavitt flew into a rage and picking up hatrhrt which was lying on the stove in the kitchen. struck the helpless woman slN times on the back of the head. The wounds are frightful ones and the woman will probably die.

Kelly Says

Thcr,. k an old and true saving We can 4,., the mote that k in the eye of our neigh hor hut fail to see the beam that Is in our own" That k how the people of this country look to-day at tn" United States senate.
 It i. not the United States senate that makes hard times it k the business people of this country that make hard times for themselves and others. The sherman bill. $, luuch abused. has no more tn do with hard times than my hnhtail cat had in rob hiu.s the Omaha express. and am safe to nr,dict that vou will have the silver dollar n, Inn., aS vou live. because it buys more flour to-day than gold ever has in the his tory of the world. \ little lecture to husi- ness man. Here is the method Kelly has taken 10 improve the business of the Platt Button company: Irving G. Platt one of the stockholders of the above concern and at present owner of Irving block and one story building adjoining Kelly, said to plntt If Vou will tear down that one story buildinr and build me model bakery will skow vou how you can make the but tnn business better. Platt said all right. Now for an illustration. You see the man who digs the celler buys a new shovel from fife hardware dealer the hardware dealer nlust order another shovel from the factory l; the factory calls in the hands to make the shovel; the miner will have to call the miners to mine the ore, and the miner x wife will have to buy buttons to put on the boys trousers, and the merchants will have big order for Platt Button company, and they will have to call in the girls to make the buttons and the girls will have money |" buy Kellv's Queen Caramels, and Kelly can % to the Worlds fair. Platt was satisfied with the illustration. and to-day there are twenty-five men working on the building. who otherwise would be sitting in the park. This is proof that it is neither the senate or the sherman bill that makes times poor. Please don't say, Oh, pshaw but go right along and do the business the same as yon always have and we will all be working by and by. When you buy flour from Kelly you buy direct from the mill. If you will give my man an empty barrel you can huy it for S4.75.
