JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.

An Unfortunate Young Man Almost
Insane From Drink.
Richard Fitzgerald for drunkenness was
fined 81 and costs this morning.
John J. Calvin was charged with drunk
enness and breach of the peace. Last
Sunday he went home on one of his crazy
drunks and threatened to kill his invalid
sister. His mother did not want to say
much against him this morning, and the
court did not press her. His sister said he
has been continuously drunk for over
three weeks. He had threatened to kill
her on various occasions. Judge Cowell,
who appeared for the family, called on DR.
Castle to testify as regards Galvin's sanity.
The doctor said that he could not pro-
nounce him insane, but when on one of
his DRINKS he was dangerous man to
have around. He had seen him recover
ing from his DRINKS and he was total
wreck. Calvin is now in bad shape and
trembled violently from the effects of his
debauch. Judge Cowell thought he ought
to be committed to Middletown or as least
to the almshouse, to recover from the
effects of drink. Judge Root sentenced
him to Jail for thirty days for drunken
ness and thirty days for breach of the
peace.
About / o'clock this morning q police
house on Scovill street and knowing some
of the parties he mistrusted that their visit
there was not for any good purpose. Con-
sequently Officers Noonan, McNiff and
Bailey entered the house shortly after.
The man in charge of the hotel said that
the couples represented themselves to be
married and had registered belonging
in Naugatuck and Union City respectively.
The proprietor showed the policemen to
the rooms, which adjoined each other,
where the couples had gone. The first
room was entered and George G. INITIAL
was found alone. A search by Officer Nc
Milf revealed Mrs William G. Nichol con-
cealed in closet. The door of the other
room was not opened until the officers
threatened to break it down. In this room
were found Weldon Grannis and Mamie
Cawthorne. All were taken to the station
house and charged with lascivious carriage.
This morning friends of the parties con-
cerned went to the station and settled for
the four on payment of $40.

Needed at Once to Make Base hall
q Paying Venture In Waterbury.
Unless something is done and at once to
encourage base ball in Waterbury there
will be scarcity of games here within q
short period. People will not now pat
ronize the game because there is no grand
stand. The team at the present time is
like ship without rudder. Manager
Peoples, who should devote his time to
booming base ball, is in Brooklyn a good
deal of his time. The team was to have
gone to Norwich to-day. but telephone
message from there this morning said it
was raining and the nine remained at
home. 1t was a mistake id the first place
not to allow certain business men of the
city to aid the team by financial backing.
1t was thought by the management that
base ball would support itself from the
start in this city. This was a mistake.
The team to-day is practically without
backing. The boys would have gone to
Norwich, however, had it not rained, as
some base ball enthusiasts had promised
to look out for the financial end of the
trip. Manager Mckee of New Haven came
to Waterbury to-day and is in consultation
with several base ball cranks, who were
willing in the first place to back team.
AS president of the league, he wishes to

Up to 4 o'clock Manager Peoples had
not made his appearance in the city.
Several of the ball players wished to enter
his room at the Sanford house to secure
some balls for practice, but Landlord San
ford thought best to save ALI the property
tn ere, to protect himself if anything
should happen. The ball players nearly
all owe board bills, which should be paid
but they have received no salaries. Man
ager Mckee left Waterbury for New Ha-
ven this afternoon, where meeting is to
be held tonight. Waterbury will not be

"BrOther john"

One of the things said in commendation
of William Fl. Cranes new play, Brother
john" which is to be seen at the opera
house Friday evening, is that it is free
from all immortality and contains good,
strong story of the heart. None of the
characters shown are vicious types of hu-
manity and not line is spoken that is
calculated to bring a blush to the most
modest cheek. A prominent New York
minister in commenting upon the play
said that if all managers were to emulate
Mr. Cranes example in selecting plays
with pure themes, fathers and mothers
would have less conjunction about allow
ing their children to visit the theatre
"BIother John" was originally presented
about year ago and since then it has won
much success
