 Down and Kicked.
 An assault was committed on Reporter John H. Curley of the American early this morning. Reporter Curley was at the scene ot the second fire on Railroad Hill street and while searching for details of the fire. he met Mrs Charles Daily. who owned the burned property. He asked her if she owned the two houses near the fire. Be- fore he could reply. he alleges. young man slipped to his side and with an oath struck Curley a blow in the face. knocking hIm down. The reporter was dazed from the blow and surprised as we'll. He picked himself from the street and as he did so his assailant again rushed for him and kicked him so cruelty that Curley was unable to move without assistance. At this point one of the firemen came to the reporter s assistance. MT Curley hesitated this morning about having his assailant ar rested. He learned that he was John Phe- Ian. living at 102 Railroad Hill street, and employed at Randolph X Gloves factory. In justice to the newspaper fraternity. | he thought Phelan ought to be punished and consequently warrant was issued for his arrest. Mir Curley says that the as. sault was entirely unprovoked. Phelan is nephew of Mrs Daily and his friends claim that the reporter was "guyipg" the woman when he interfered.

Kelly Says

The average domestic con- sumption in Sugar is 12O pounds a year to the individual, confection- cry, medicine and liquors. To pounds-or a total of 130 pounds annually. The present Wilson bill recommends to increase the cost s1.20 hundred, and compels the consumer to,pay sl. 56 a year more for his sugar than he did under the Mckinley tariff. Waterbury. with a population of 10000 people. would be taxed s62. 400 yearly for the benefit of chosen few. If am any judge of human nature. I believe that the congressman from the Second District who would vote to burden the people of Waterbury in this manner. could sell his grIdls. for I think his bread is baked.

One of the most noticeable features OF
the new American liners, the ST. Louis and
St. Paul, is the provision for the immersion
of the screws by the use of water ballast in
double bottoms fitted throughout the
length. The main advantage of the sys-
TEN is the conversion of a heavy-draught
into light-draught ship when port is to be
entered. Instead of waiting for high tide
for several hours outside the Mersey, the
vessels would only have to pump out the
water ballast in order to tighten the ship
and go in at once. The double bottom is
also a safeguard against injury by ground
ing as well as a means of preventing de
tention in entering port. There are many
other new devices and ingenious arrange
ments in these American built steamships,
which characterize them as homemade
products of original Yankee skill.
