association said to II DEMOCRAT reporter
this afternoon: "When we asked Agent
Holohan whether or not we could keep
open on election day, he said he said
he would look up the law
and notify Us through the public
press. Afterwards we secured the advice
of Attorney Terry, who said the election
was illegal and therefore that We were not
obliged to close our places. When We
notified Mr. Holohan of Attorney Terry 5
opinion he declined to say whether or not
we could keep open. If test case is

,NAUGATUCK, Feb 6.-While Mrs Charles
BREWER accompaniedby a young lady, Cora
Kay, were driving at city corners, Water
bury yesterday afternoon. A boy on a sled
came down the hill, running on to the
horse, which made lunge throwing both
ladies out, the horse running some two
miles to his stall. smashing the cutter and
breaking the harness badly. Both ladies
were badly shocked and bruised, but fortu-
nately no bones were broken.
Two large sleighs with four horses at

back at 3:45 Il. m, after enjoying II dance
and a good supper at Wallace's. The
weather was very cold, but no one seemed
to mind it,
1t was amusing yesterday afternoon and
evening to watch the drove of people wait
ing to get into Hard's store, where the
trustees sale was going on. AttimeS there
were thirty outside with the thermometer
at zero, waiting for the crowd inside to
pass out in the rear, that they might go in

LEGAL OPINION.

One of the most eminent lawyers In the
city said this afternoon: 1T is very clear
that the mayor was right in the action
taken by him in the board of aldermen
last night The board of fire commissions
erS alone have the power to appolnta chief
of the fire department. Indeed, even the
mayor himself has not n casting vote in this
board to determine whether or not any given
individual shall be chief. The charter,
for reasons which seemed wise at the time
it was granted, but (which with the many
years of experience we have had i'll this
city with long intervals of deadlocks, at
the end of which there has always been an
apparent deal between the members, seems
unwise, conferred the power of appointing
the chiefs of the different departments
upon commissioners between the two lead
ing political parties and for the purpose of
keeping these chiefs non-p partisan as far as
possible, provided that the mayor should
not have casting vote. Now then, in
view of our charter and its history
and the action of the board of alder
men under 1t, what piece
of sublime impudence on the part of
some of the republican members of the
aldermanic board to try to bluff and to
dictate to the democratic members of the
fire board for whom they shall or shall not
vote for as chief OF the ire department. 1t
was we'll we had mayor who knew his
business and who could not be blutfed,
bullied or bulldozed.
Speaking of the trouble in the lower
board he said: another bold game of
bluff attempted in the lower board was
where five republican members were sent to
arrest and bring before themselves nine de-
mocratic members of the board. This for a
piece of cheek and impudence surpasses all
previousetfortSo of the republican bulldozers.
On what authority did those five men act :?
OF course the authority must come from
the charter if from any place. Now page
y, section Is, of the charter says: In each
body majority shall constitute quorum
to do business, but smaller number may
adjourn from time to time, not exceeding
one week by any 'one adjournment
and may compel the attendance of absent
members in such manner and under such
pecuniary penalties rs each body may
prescribe. OF course rs the body WAS not
legally assembled they could prescribe
nothing last night, and unless they had
already at previous meeting of
that same board adopted rules by
which they agreed to the governed,
! there were no rules prescribed which
were in force and any arrest of any absentee
with that warrant last night would plainly
have been Il false imprisonment.

meeting of the board of trade isEualled
for this evening ''to take such action as
may seem proper in regard to the present
condition of the fire department" The
meeting is called by request
of five members, whose names
are withheld. The board is supposed to
be non-partisan body and it is hardly
probable that it will attempt to interfere
with the municipal government. Said n
prominent citizen to-day: Nothing is to be
feared from the action of the board, any
way. Its record, so far as doing anything
for the city, is blank.
The action of the fire board was per
fectlv proper Samuel c. Snagg is not the
only man in Waterbury competent to
handle the fire department. True, he has
made n special study of the work, and has
had good luck it fighting fires. But sup
pose he should die, or be injured at Il fire,
Is there no one to take his place? William
F. Beecher, who is temporarily in charge
of the department. has commanded the
tiremen at some of the largest fires of re
cent years, during the sickness of Chlrt
Snagg. Mr. Beecher is not looking for
Chief Snagg's place. but he must feel
| mortified at the calamity bowling brought
on by his temporary appointment. lie
has had years of valuable experience.
Bernard Byrnes and Terrence c. q Bricn,
| also, are qualified to take charge of the de
partment, and the cry that the city Is
without protection from fire is sheer non
sense 1t is doubtful if any officer of the
| department would have exercised poorer
| Judgment than Chief Snagg did at the fire
in I.illey block last year.

scene and one which will never be fully
described.
Constable Brzezinski, who was present,
and witnessed the whole farce, was asked
if he would go out and look up the absent
members of the board. Mr. Brzezinski de-
clined on the ground thot the night was
too cold and because it would be useless
for him to think of finding democrat
when he happened to escape the eye of the
city sheriff.
Janitor Loughlin was then called in and
asked if he would go in search of few
democratic members of the board. He
said he would if it would not get him into
trouble.
After a consultation among the members
present it was decided to adjourn until

TRENTON, Feb. 6.-The house of assem-

sion, but no business of consequence was
accomplished. No new developments have
appeared in the senate mudd!e.
The Republicans held a joint caucus
right after the adjournment of both houses
to select candidates for state comptroller
and state treasurer. George b. Swain of
Essex had been the leading candidate for
treasurer and F. S. Hancock of Mercer for
comptroller. a combination was formed
last week by Samuel Dickinson of Hudson
and David Baird of Camden to beat these
candidates.
A lively fight was made to stave off the
caucus for week by the Dickinson Baird
men. In this they failed, and Baird with
drew from the contest. The caucus was
presided over by Senator Stokes. A lively
debate took place as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
adjourning the caucus but this was voted
down. Hancock received the caucus nomi-
nation by vote of "a to IA. Swain was
nominated without opposition.
