Scott L. Atwood, of Thomaston, a farm
hand, 40 years old, blew his brains out
last night in fit of dependency caused
by unrequitted love. Atwood was dead
when the people in tn ehouse reached his
side. The deed was committed at the
home of Mr. and Mrs Charles Birch, where
Atwood boarded. He was infatuated with
Mrs Robinson, the daughter of MI
Birch, who is married but does not live
with her husband. The latter Is IA resident
of Naugatuck. Mrs Robinson and her hus-
band did not live happily together and
been living in Naugatuck. When they SEP
to live with her parents.
Atwood returned to his boarding place
about 9 o'clock last night and found that
everyone had retired. He opened the
door of Mrs Robinson's room and asked
her why she hadn't remained up until
he came home. She replied that she had
no desire to see him and told him to close
the door. Atwood then drew 80 calibre
revolver and said he was going to shoot
her and then commit suicide. Mrs Robin
son sprang ont of bed and rushed by At
wood who fired as she passed. He evil
IDENTIFY fired the shot at himself and did
not carry out his threat to shoot the
woman. The bullet entered the lower
part of his forehead and pierced the brain
Mrs Robinson was so close to him when
the shot was fired that her face was singed
by the flash.
Atwood formerly lived in this city.

stopped for half an hour before the explo-
sion. A great amount of gas accumulated
in the meantime, and it is supposed that
the explosion was caused by one of the
miners going into the chamber that was
filled with the deadly gas. There were lis

Clerk Marvin of the United States dis

Bridgeport to come to Waterbury and seize
the house occupied by the "moonshiners, y

The property is owned by the Lang es-

Mr. Hart said to-day that he expects to
be called to testify in relation to the pro

authorities. He rented the house to Pop
kins on the first of February for one
month Popkins said he wanted to use it
as tenement for family of three. Mr.
Hart saw him but once after that time and

THE WATER COMMITTEE.
President wdfton's Opinion ineRsgard TO

President wsiton's Opinion ineRsgard TO
- the Pipe Line. 'eE1' 5s!uH
The board of water commissioners and
the committee on the additional water
supply held joint meeting insthe city en-
gineer's room last night. There were
present Commissioners n. j. Welton, E, j.
Starr, F. B. Merriman and George Panne-
ton, and Messrs Kelley, Barlow, DAILY.
Hart, Wade and City Engineer R. A.
Cairns. Mayor Kilduff presided.
J. Welton gave a description of the
pipe on the different streets as he thought
it should be laid, giving the sizes of the
different pipes. Mr. Welton also dwelt
upon the need of few large fire hydrants
in the center. He did not think 1t wise to
connect the small hydrants with the main
pipes but with branch pipes. He also
stated that no house should be connected
with the main pipe. Mr. Wade offered the
following resolution:
Voted, that the engineer of each OF the
water boards prepare such plans as they
deem advisable and present the'u to their
respective boards for their consideration
and approval"
Mr. Cairns agreed with all that Mr. We'll
ton had said and spoke of constructing
needed branches in Waterville, and pro-
tecting them with gates so that at some
future time if Waterville wishes to pur-
chase water from the city, connections
can be made without disturbing the mains.
Mr. Cairns also spoke of putting large
gate at point about 200 feet below the
Hall Il Epson ice companys house, so
that the water from there into the city
could be shut off without shutting off the
smaller pipes and the water would still
run through the other mains and supply
the city. He also stated that the Inc had
been arranged to run through the center of
the green to point near the band stand,
then taking fifteen degree curve towards
the street and then another fifteen degree
curve in the opposite direction, striking
the alley way between the Scovill house
aud City hall, thence through the street to
Exchange place, where would be
placed to carry the water to East and
South Main streets. This would necessi-
tate the tearing up of about $50 feet of
macadam.
Engineer Cairns said he could not con-
tinue the pipe through the green on &C
count of the trees. and because he would
have to turn too short an angle to go up
North Main street. Here the water board
retired and the water committee proceeded
with their regular business. communi-
cation was received from James Sutton
asking to be excused from his contract for
grading the pipe line. The request was
granted. 1t was voted that the city engineer
advertise for proposals for grading the
pipe line, contract II, bids to be opened
Friday night. March 8, Mt 1880 o'clock.
Milo X. Gray granted the privilege
of pasturing his cattle on land of the city,
north of the new location of the valley

ment of the sum of Sl2.

briggs DIVORCE CASE.
The P,aIntiT VIII Not Add t" the Charge
of Intolerable Cruelty.

The P,alntif VIII Not Add t. the Charge
of Intolerable Cruelty.
The divorce case of George A. briggs of
Waterbury against Annie briggs came up
before Judge George w. p. Wheeler in the
civil superior court yesterday at New
Haven in the shape of a motion for an
extension of time in which an answer may
be filed to the cross complaint. Attorney
Terry of this city said he had not
answered the complaint as he had been led
to believe that the complaint would be
amended.
Judge Harrison, counsel for Mrs briggs,
said his client at one time had desired to
add to the complaint by inserting the
scriptural grounds for divorce in addition
on the ground of intolerable cruelty which
was in the original complaint. He said
Mrs briggs had now given up that idea
and would rest her case wholly on the
ground of intolerable cruelty. He said
he had no knowledge that Attorney Terry
was waiting for such amendment before
filing his answer. 1T would not require
five minutes i'll which to file an answer
anyway" said Mrs briggs lawyer.
Lawyer Terry said he would want at
least a week in which to furnish an an
swer, and after a comparison of conven-
fences it was decided to grant time for the
purpose.
Judge Harrison in talking about the case
said he believed that briggs lawyers
wanted to crawl out. He said he could
now non-suit them for their failure to
comply with the order of the court for an
allowance of $50 for Mrs briggs to defend
her case. He can see no reason why they
have not furnished the money unless they
desire him to ask for non-suit. He
thinks they would prefer to be thrown out
of court rather than voluntarily back out.
As regards his side of the case, Judge
Harrison said he would push it for a
speedy trial and that it would probably be
heard some time in April.

William Cragan of Burnside was found at
the Sigourney street crossing in this city
Someone telephoned the fact to the police

Medical Examiner Fuller said the man

the head having been crushed and he had
been dead probably about an hour and a
half. Several trains had passed and it is
not known by which one he was struck
The body was identified by several people
as Cragan, but there still seems to be
some doubt as to the correctness of this
Identification, as others who knew Cragan
say that it is not him. He was about forty

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
a Card From Henry y. Fan!on


To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
Believing that the public has but little
interest in personal matters outside of
their particular locality, 1 have RETAINED
from replying to the many attacks
made upon me, through the newspapers of
thestate. In relation to QUEENS indictment
in the United States court, for charging
illeged fees, etc, have this
to say, that SO far as
the allegation that 1 instigated the matter,
or that 1 named or suggested the names of
parties who were his victims, or that
know anything of the cases only so far as
common rumor puts it. land with the ex-
ception of my statement made, but which
was not used in the case, being disbarred
by statute) is absolutely and unequivocally
false. l am not now, nor have
ever been, leader in any
faction, but believe in the theory
that honor and integrity are the essentials
of life, and in so doing have extended to
the unfortunate and needy comrades my
sympathy and assistance, and have not
been charged with, or convicted of taking
from their widows and children, any part
of the small pittance given them by the
government of the United States.
Respectfully yours,

THE case of Patrolman Thomas stands
unique in the police annals. Here was a
man whom Chief Egan would not hesitate
to call one of his most efficient officers.
He had never been disciplined
was always ready for duty and
no member of the force had more
friends or better ones. His failure to
clear himself from the serious charges
preferred against him was great shock to
those who had believed in his innocence,
and now they are wondering why he did
not voluntarily resign from the force
Surely he could not expect the commits
sioners to condone such an offense as he
virtually admitted while on the witness
stand. They could not do it and be true
to their trust, and although the downfall
of a popular officer is to be regretted the
opinion is general that the commissioners
did their duty.

Wins an Important Suit.
ST LOUIS, March 3. Judgment was rem

Cincinnati, against the st Louis CIinique
This medical journal questioned the merits
of his treatment for consumption, which
many physicians here say is the only cure
for this disease. Amick keeps this formula
to himself, and sends, free, medicines
proving to the consumptive he can be
cured. All this is against the medical code,
hence the attack and vindcation.
