The Toueh,s Heart Melted.

WmLIAMsPoRT, o.. Aug. 2S.-At q
Methodist campmeeting in session al
Darbyville, and inland village, seven
miles north Of here, an admission of
10 cents is charged tc defray expenses
and to avoid this crowd Of young
toughs climbed over the fence, and
made themselves rather conspicuous by
loud protestations and vigorous gesticu
lations when policeman was endeav.
oring to eject the intruders. The at
tention Of Mrs. w. Il. Trego of Della
ware, who was at that time in the midst
of an interesting discourse, was at
tackled by the commotion, and, calling
to the officer, she had one Of the young
toughs, named Davis, brought to her.
The lady began talking to him before
the whole audience, and at first he was
inclined to resent the advice being
given, but Mrs. Trego's inimitably
kind and convincing manner was too
much, and he dropped to his knees and
began praying fervently. In less time
than it required to read this paragraph
young Davis was soundly and sincerely
converted, and was shouting "Halle.
jujah!" with all his might, much to the
wonder of the audience and the de-
light of Mrs. Trego.

MILITARY MATTERS.

Where New Companies May Be Raised
For the Second Regiment.
The new military law has not yet
been printed in the engrossed form and
will not probably reach the governor
for signature before the latter part of
this week. After iG has been signed by
the clerks of both houses and the en-
crossing committee it will be presented
to Governor Morris for signature, who
has three days in which to consider its
provisions. 1t being considered a fore
gone conclusion that the governor will
sign the the new military law, new
companies are beginning to be heard
from. A petition for an additional
company in Meriden has been forwarded
to the adjutant- general, and military
men in that city are already talking
about state armory there. Two new
companies will be needed to fill the
Second regiment to twelve companies.
Ansonia is spoken of as the town from
which another company may be ex.
pected. Many years ago there was a
company in Derby which was not q
success. For long time there has been
talk of transferring the Middletown
company, H, of the Second regiment
to the First regiment. This could
readily be done as under the new law
regimental divisions by congressional
districts are abolished.

NAUGATUCK. May 15.-It was appar-
emily very dry Sunday here yesterday,
although the weather looked as if there
might be rain at most any time during
the day. Nearly all of our business
concerns that for long time have done
business on Sunday yielded to the new
order of things, by closing their places
and opening up their screen doors so
that all could see there was no business
being done.
The Rev Mr. Soule preached very in
teresting sermon yesterday, his text was
"Verily, Say Unto YOU" The attend
ance was smaller than usual. There
was very large attendance at st Fran
els church last night, where two weeks
series OF meetings was commenced by
the Jesuit fathers. There was also a
fair sized congregation at st Michaeps
| and at the NJ. E. church where some
very good singing was done by the
choir.
There were five arrests on Saturday.
An Italian was locked up for assault on
a man named Greeke, while Dick Dur
kin, Edward Costello, James Hughey
and Mary Hughes INDUCED in too much
of the ardent. There were no arrests
yesterday and not drunken man was
seen on the streets that we could hear
of. Our storekeepers say that the keep
ing of parties from lobbying around the
door and sidewalks has increased their
business considerably.
Among the attractions to. be offered
| by the ladies of st MichaePs church at
their gypsy fair on Wednesday night
will be Mons Lawlaus with his beautiful
talking mrchine, and we can assure all
who listen to any of his sixty selections
that they will be well repaid. 1t is ar
ranged for fourteen to hear at one time.
The warden and burgesses will meet
tonight for transaction of business.
We are requested to state that if any
one knows of a soldiers grave thai
needs headstone, application should bt
made at once to 7. j. Northrop or E. Fl

had been supporting his wife and family
for some time. He was sent to Jail for

FATHER TREANoR,s PLAIN WORDS.


speaks of an Evil which, He Says, the
Daily Press Has Encouraged.
Rev Father Treanor, pastor of the
Sacred Heart church, created quite a
sensation by his pointed remarks at the
1910 service yesterday morning. He
spoke of growing evil in Waterbury
and scored the daily press for allowing
certain things to exist.
81 am going to give the representa-
tives of the daily press an item publicly
to-day" began Father Treanor. 81 APP
peal to them, because the press is to
blame for the evil speak. Not inten-
through mercenary motives. But the
fact remains that they have placed their
papers in such condition that do not
consider them good family reading.
tFThe subject upon which speak is
common talk in Waterbury. 1t forms
the gossip of the shop where the young
people are employed. 1 am not relying
upon hearsay, but tell what 1 know to
be a fact. There is in this city one, may
be more, think two or three, engaged
i'm the villainous practice of child
murder. leave it to the press of the
city to say to what extent they have en-
couraged this evil. I ask them to find
out where the rotten spots are. The
business is transacted almost publicly.
If the press move in this matter that
evil must cease, because if the attention
of the prosecuting attorney and police
be called to it 1 think they will take
most stringent means to remove the
| blot"
In conclusion, Father Treanor, ad-
dressing himself particularly to several
newspaper men who were present, asked
that the matter be given wide publicity
and as many amplifications as possible.
He said if it were published people
would understand very clearly who
were meant and public disapproval
would drive them from the city.
| When seen by DEMOCRAT reporter
Father Treanor refused to make any
specific charges or mention names. His
accusations against the newspapers,
however, although not framed in sc
many words, could easily be con.
strued to mean that the press
was accessory before the fact
through publishing advertisements
of some one engaged in the inhumar
work. For ourselves we can only say
that the DEMOCRAT has always carefully
guarded it's columns and has on many
tifing even when accompanied by casl
in advance. In at least one instance
advertising which the DEMOCRAT de
clined to accept, has been published il
the other daily papers. If the nefariou
business of an abortionist has been en-
couraged through anything tina
may have appeared in this pa
/ per it was done unconsciously
( We have learned more to-day concern
l ing the business of a local doctor tina
3 he would care to have published, an
although enough evidence to convic
before a court of law in case of thi
kind is difficult to obtain, sufficier t
known to cause the removal of h
d name from the DEMOCRAT advertiser
