A Prominent Citizen and Taxpayer
 Handles the Fire Commissioners With
 out Gloves.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir-Regarding the action of the board Of fire commissioners last Monday night Tn appointing three permanent fire men wish to enter a decided protest
 The efficiency of our fire deptment has never been questioned, and if there is fault to be found with the service of pub lie officers. that fault is not to be found with the volunteer members of the fire de- partment. It seems, therefore, that there IS no need of enlarging the force of paid firemen.
 Who wants permanent firemen ap- pointed? Was there petition circulated among the property holders, they being the ones most interested, for the appoiut- ment of these men?
 Personally the appointees may be very good men but will they add to the eff ciency of the department? I would like to know on what principle the fire com mlssloners acted Tn creating these offices {? Each commissioner had a man selected for one of three offices they created. The sal aries of those men call for an annual ex- penditure of over two thousand dollars of taxpayers money; and this at a time when the city is trying to devise means to pay its legitimate expenses.
 All who take real interest in the good ot the city will severely condemn the action of tbe fire commissioners. but so long as men of their class are elected to responsible positions on our different boards, so long will We have an extrava- gant city government.

HANGING DEVICES

Dr Tracy Still Adheres tJ the OpinIon
 That It Is a Suicide NJ chine.
 Dr Tracy of the state board of charities together who with Mrs Bacon of the same board examined the execution device at the state prison yesterday says he was by no means satisfied with the machine. even though a change had been made by sub stltuting shot for the hydraulic pressure. The doctor thought it strange that the change should be deemed necessary. in view of the fact that the machine was con- sldered perfect with the hydraulic pres sure. The doctor facetiously remarked that he supposed they had now improved on the original perfection of the instru ment of death. though the inventor was quite put out. when the machine, perfect as 1t was considered in the beginning. re- ceived adverse criticism. Dr Tracy still objects to the use of the device. He said. however. that the change has produced this good result that, unlike the pressure by water, the shot will accelerate instead of retard the operation of hanging. And yet. in the estimation of Dr Tracy. the victim becomes his own executioner. the shot aiding him more rapidly than the hy- drsulic pressure. in causing the trap to be sprung. But withal. he is kept waiting in suspense longer than the law should com pei him to do.

WHO IS THE BENEFICIARY |?
A Suit In Which Ali the Members of the
 Knights of CoIumbns aIe Inters.teh

Suit In Which All the Members of the
 Knights of Columbus are Interested
 Thomas Rowe of New London has brought suit against the Knights of Colum- bus to recover 1000, amount of death benefits due on account of the death of hls son, David J. Rowe. The circumstances of this case will interest every member of the order. In 1885 David J. Rowe joined the order and named his father as bene- hclary in case of death. He afterwards married but omitted to transfer the death benehts to his wife. so that at the time of ms death his father was named, in the records of the order, as his benficlarv. The father claimed the money to the ex cluslon af his sons widow. Mrs Annie E. Rowe, the widow, also presented a claim for the money. The laws of the order state that the death benefits shall be paid to the immediate family of the deceased member. Attorney Philip J. Markley of New Britain. who is the advocate-rener,L ot the order. has brought an iuterpleader and will apply for an injunction to restrain Thomas Rowe from continuing his suit against the order.

CLOSE OF THE CAMP.

Lieutenant Colonel Burpes Thrown
 From Hts Horse and Slightly In-
 Jured.
 Camp Bradley is no more and the tented grounds of Niantic will be but barren fields for another year. Friday is of course the gala day of the encampment, and the Friday of Camp Bradley surpassed 1n celebration any of previous years- The Second regiment carried of most of the honors during the week. Its excellence in sentry duty has brought words of praiss from every military authority and it was no wonder members of other regiments tried to pass themselves of as sentries from the Second.
 Colonel Doherty can not assume the credit of this record. His actions during camp week have not been very creditable. and when the high officer of a regiment leaves himself open to the criticism of the members of his command, his resignation cannot be received any too soon. There is no exaggeration in saying that Colonel Doherty has not maintained his previous good record. Even the majority of his officers reluctantly admit this. Lieutenant Colonel Burpee on the other hand proved himself capable of taking care of the regi- ment, and to him in a great measure is due its success. He was never found wanting and bounded immediately into favor. It was also a significant fact that the oncers assembled more often at the lieutenant-colonel's quarters than at Colo nel Doherty's tent
 An accident which was witnessed by thousands of people befell Lieutenant Col onel Burpee yesterday afternoon which fortunately and miraculously proved not serious. Just before the review started Colonel Doherty's horse became unman- ageable and he was compelled to dis mount. The colonel started to walk in front of his command, although some of his staff officers should have preferred him horse. Lieutenant Colonel Burpee rode up and generously rendered Colonel Do- herty his horse. The offer was accepted and Colonel Burpee took a mount on a green horse. Just in front of the review ing stand Lieutenant Colonel Barpee refined in his horse to take his proper po- sition. The horse reared into the air and fell backwards rolling over Colonel Bur pee. Instantly the ambulance corps flew to his assistance. He was picked up par tlally unconscious. As they attempted to place him in the ambulance he objected saying that he would mount again. He was permitted to do so and once more took his position. He was still dizzy and sec ing that he would be unable to go through the review he asked permission to retire, which was granted. Colonel Burpee was all right last night and suffered no after effects, further than a little soreness, where the horse fell on him. This was the only real accident which marred the pleasures of the day.
 Priyates Landers of Co I, Third. and Hympson of D, First, were court mar tlaled this morning for refusing to do duty.
