AFTER BEER AND CIGARS.
Timothy HorIE.n's saloon on Washington

Timothy HorIgan's Saloon on Washington
Street Visited by Burglars.
When Timothy Horigan of Hickory street
opened his saloon at 26 Washington street
this morning he thought the place had
been visited by a cyclone during the
night. Everything was out of its usual
place and the floor was covered with the
choicest fluids, which had escaped from
the casks that stood in a row along the
east side of the store. A glance around
the place soon revealed the fact that bur-
glars had called during the night. A large
light of glass had been broken in the win
dow on the west side of the store. This
done the way to the good things on the
inside was easy for the window is only a
couple of feet above the yard. Mr. Hori-
gan Immediately telephoned to police
headquarters and Officers John Byrnes and
John Sullivan quickly obeyed the sum-
mons. They were given description of
the supposed thieves who, it is said, be-
long around the place. but are absent from
Il vicinity to-day. 1t is said they are all
up in the woods having good time at Mr.
Horigan's expense. But they did not do
SO worth of cigars, large beer pail, well
filed, no doubt. The faucets in different
kegs of spirits were opened. but how much
was taken out of them no one can tell.
Mr Horigan says he believes that after
they had taken all they cared for out of
the kegs they must have let liquor run onto
the floor out of pure cussedness. But as
smart as the boys were they got fooled on
one thing. On shelf in the rear of the
bar stood five large bottles of colored
water. These were taken, but the gang
must have discovered the ''sell' for the
five bottles were found in the rear of the
house this morning. The DEMOCRAT has
referred to the conduct of this gang of
young men on several occasions.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Boston seems to have made q mistake in
releasing Catcher Merritt.
Buck Ewing's arm is said to be ''gone"
again; his throwing from the outfisld is
very weak.
Philadelphia papers accuse Manager
Irwin of throwing away many runs by his
poor coaching.
Mark Baldwin is being hit as hard by
the Pennsylvania league batsmen as he
ever was in the big league.
Billy Higgins was released by Scranton
on Tuesday. He can still play good ball.
but is little too slow for the Pennsyl-
vania league.
The Bostons will be able to play on
their old grounds when they return from
the first western trip, July 20. The
fences and bleachers are now up, but as
the pavilion is intended to be perma-
nent structure, it win take some time to
complete it.
The Willimantic and Norwich base ball
teams are lost. strayed or stolen. Nothing
has been heard from them in a number of
days. The New Britains are making dates
where they can without regard TO the other
teams of the Connecticut league, and New
Haven has arranged a series of games with
Meriden, including two games on the
Fourth of July, one in the forenoon and
another in the afternoon in Meriden. All
this has given rise 10 the belief that the
state league has gone to Tieces.

How to Make a Simple Filter.
A very cheap and effective filter may
be made by means of common flower
pot Fill the hole with a piece of
sponge and then place in the pot alter
nate layers of sand, charcoal and small
pebbles This may then be placed in a
jar or other convenient vessel, into
which the water as it passes through
may be received. The effectiveness of
this filter may be enhanced by having
several fiowerpots and letting the wa
ter pass from one to the other into re-
ceiver beneath.
Another filter is made by placing in
tank of impure water vessel so ar
ranged that sponge which it contains
shall lap over the edge and dip into the
water of the tank. The sponge gradual
ly sucks up and purifies the water in the
reservoir and allows it to drop into the
smaller vessel, from which it may be
drawn off by a tube. By placing few
Jumps of charcoal at the bottom of the
receiver filtration of the most perfect
kind is effected.

A Brave Policeman Badly Burned.

New HAVEN, June 20.-Patrolman Con-
nor Egan, who was instr umental in rescu-
ing the inmates of Fenwick hall during the
fire there last night, lies at his home to-
day seriously burned. Upon coming from
the burning building he fell iAto the arms
of Sergeant Mcbride and was so weak that
q cab was called and he was taken to
police headquarters. There he collapsed
and DR. Gaynor was called. It became
necessary to apply an electric battery and
the work of resuscitating the patrolman
occupied two hours. His face and neck
are badly burned and it is thought that he
inhaled considerable smoke and fire. He
will probably recover, but it will be several

big Petitions Out in Favor of the Old
Warhorse, James Gallagher.
new candidate has appeared in the
race for the collectorship of the part of
New Haven and he is setting a pace that
promises to bring him ahead of his field
and possibly land him winner
The Palladium says James Gallagher,
of this city, 1.-THE old war horse" is the
man, and he has developed wonderful
backing.
Petitions are now in nearly all the
manufacturing places in this city. Water
bury, Meriden, Wallingford. Cheshire and
other nearby towns. asking President
Cleveland to appoint Gallagher to the
position.
Gallagher is a great favorite with the
working classes in the democratic party,
and signatures are rapidly accumulating.
About l, 500 names have alreaoy been
appended to the petitions and it is posi-
lively asserted that by next Saturday night
there will be 5000 workingmen supporting
the old time leader.
The petition with its long string of
names will be taken to Washington early
in July and presented to the president. A
committee of two men from Meriden, one
from New Britain, one from Waterbury
and three from New Haven will take the
petition to the capital.

An Opinion From Meriden.

Says the Meriden Republican: A lead
ing military man in this city said to-day
why, the story is one of the most foolish
1 ever heard. Doherty and Burpee have
long been close personal friends and do
not believe there is man in Company I
who believes one word of the story. Why
did they not let the colonel take the stand
For the simple reason that he would have
made some of these people who have had
so much to say crawl"
1t is said that one military man here,
who has a state reputation for shooting off
his mouth. had had good deal to say
about the matter and there is every reason
to believe that the reports he has circu-
lated have reached Colonel Doherty, and
the gentleman, when called upon to ex-
plain some things he is reported as saying,
may find himself in very embarrassing

RAILROADS OF THE STATE

What the Commissioners Have to lay
About Them.
The railroad commissioners have made
their reports on the various railroads after
the inspection required by law.
fthe New York, New Haven & Hart
ford they speak highly and say that its
large amount of new work gives assurance
of very slight expense for maintenance.
They say: ''The substantial character of
the new construction is striking contrast
with that which it supersedes."
Regarding the New London Northern
they criticise the curves and say the rails
are light and worn. The Montville station
is to be overhauled.
On the New York & New England 1O0,-
900 new ties and 1000 tons of 80 pound
rails are to be laid on the west division
this summer; also six miles of track on
the Norwich & Worcester.

BURYlNa THE WIRES,
The Telephone Company Acts withou
Consulting the CITY Authorities. 'gf

The Telephone Company Acts without
Consulting the City Authorities.
In accordance with the permit granted
the company last year the Southern New
England Telephone company has COM
menced excavating for the building of the
underground conduits. But the work of
tearing up the paving blocks was COM
menced without notifying the city authori-
ties, and now Mayor Kilduff and Street In
spector Kelley have another battle on
hand. Manager Sperry is of the opinion
that under the special act of the legisla-
ture authorizing the company to lay its
given by the road board last year the
company could proceed with the work.
With this the mayor does not agree and
points to the following clause in the petit
ton of the company to the road board last
August: .. .-
"It is agreed that said excavations shall
be made under the supervision of the
street inspector, said streets to be put back
in as good condition as they are now, and
all damages to sewer and other pipes will
be paid for by this company"
1t is said that no notice was sent to the
street inspector when the work was begun.
The act of the legislature authorizing the
company to lay the wires underground
states that in doing the work the COM
pany should conform to such regulations
as the common council of the city and the
selectmen may prescribe in regard to the
opening of streets for any purpose. The
petition of the company never came before
the common CO ancil and it is question if
the road board has the right to grant such
permission without the privilege or consent
of the common council. While the mayor
is pleased to know that the wires are about
to be placed under ground. yet the mode
of proceeding must be in strict accordance
with the city charter. When the petition
came before the road board last year
Mayor Webster believed that the road
board had the right to grant the privilege.
But it is doubtful If anyone thinks that the
company had the right to commence the
work without notifying the street inspector.
IF the job is to be done under the super
vision of the street inspector it is obvious
that he should have been notified as soon
as the work was commenced. If not how
could he supervise the work.
Work was suspended for awhile this
morning, but after a conference between
Mayor Kilduff and Mr. Sperry work was
again resumed. Mayor Kilduff said this
afternoon that everything had been agreed
to that the city asked for and the work
would go ahead without interruption. Mr.
Sperry said that they had gone on with the
work according to the terms of the act of
the legislature and with a due regard for
the city interests, the streets and points to
be operated in being mentioned when
their petition was presented to the road
board. He said the work would be done
under the supervision of an inspector ap-
pointed by the city to be paid by the Tele-
phone Co.
