DoInGs of a Day in Naugatuck and
 Union City.
 NAuGAruck, April 16-Tho warden and burgesses met last night, all present except Burgess Hubbell. By advice of counsel. to comply with the new police law, the offices of chief and three as- sistants were considered vacant, and the same officers, Horsford, Grant, Conran and McKiernan were elected to serve during good behavior. It was voted to notify citizens of Water street. between railroad north and Maple street. to attend a hearing on layout and sidewalks on that street, which is to be not less than forty six feet wide at any point, the Glove com pany at Maple street opening up a num- Der of feet. Little other business was done. The warden. burgesses. clerk and health officer then paid visit to the fire mems annual social, where they found the house nicely decorated and fine company enjoying themselves. The re-appoint- ment of police was rather a surprise to some.
 Yesterday Attorney Kennedy and George Alderman, the latter leading mrn among the Polauders, went to Union City to see if they could nor bring about settlement of the strike. Mir Whittemore consented to reopen the works. pay the hoormen $1.35 day for ten hours. with overtime at same rate, as lcn2 as orders lated up to first of June, when new contracts would be coming in and wages would be advanced to $1 .50. The floormen refused to accept the terms. The company then paid every employe in flu l, and the works will proba- ply be idle for some time.
 The printed form of revised charter was distributed yesterday. The DEMOCRAT cor respondent respectfully asks that the com mittee strike out five words following fire marshall in section 19. We think a fire marshal who does his duts should be paid something.
 The attendance at the social of the Citi- zen's band last night hardly came up to expectations. Tomorrow night the I M. O. I. base ball club social comes of at Bar num's hall. A big crowd is expected.
 About all our physicians expect to put in telephones when the nsw rates go into effect, the price being $25 for private res. ldences and $36 for business places. with ten cent rate to Waterbury; all other rates the same as at present. central office will be located here.
 Mrs Emily 0. Hopkins aud daughter are expected home from Florida to-day. The Hon Homer Twitchell and wife will arrive on or about the twentieth of this month.

REPLY TO CLEVELAND.
Chairman Harvey of the BimetaIIic Com
 mittee Answers the President.


 mittee Answers the President.
 CHICAGO. April 16.-W II. Harvey, chairman of the bimetallic executive com mittee, made tho following reply to Pres ident Cleveland s letter:
 Tn reply to your letter addressed to a committee of business men in this city we wish to say that the committee that called upon you and tho persons who at taChod their names to tho petition such committee presented did not represent q majority of the business men and citizens of this city who take n deep interest in the welfare of this republic. They repre- sented that class that owns money and sc curities payable in money fixed incomes I've respectfully submit that your let ter does not put the truo merits of this controversy. You call tho attention of farmers and wage earnors to the fact that rising prices, while enabling them to sell thOir products and labor at n higher priCe, will also cause them to pay equally more for what they may purchase but you neg loCt to say that your statement is not ap- pliCablC to debts.
 With prices coming down regularly and steadily since the demonstration of silver, our merchants, manufacturers and people generally havo been doing business on a falling market, so that tho time in tCrvening between the purchase of thoir merchandise and raw material and plac- ing it months afterward on the market has romOvod the margin they would other wise make.
 "This shrinkagc in values added to the ordinary risk and cXpunsc of business, has led to an ever increasing volume uf debt to a money lending period until it has incrras- cd all told, public and private to about $40, 0p0, Oun, O01 or about twu-thirtls of the total value of all the property in tho United States.
 Ut is not more money We want to bor- TOW, but tu pay off what we already owo. Tho moro We borrow, tho moro wo must pay. and tho annual interest on all our public and private dchtN is now moro than the annual profits of business and pruduc- tion. Where will il cnd:''

Think Ferry Was With Him.

He admitted having robbed the house and said, I'd havc taken moro if hadn't been too sick to walk" It was found that hc had eaten several raw eggs and had taken others together with some bread and butter and a spoon, away in basket. This last fact strengthens the be- lief that Perry was near by. indicating that Davis took the food to him.
 The attendants returned all of Abbott's property and then took Davis in wagon to the hotel at New Hamburg. The pris- oncr was very weak, but still game, and the attendants gnvo him whisky in liberal doses. He was consequently quite drunk when they throw him like a quarter of beef into tho baggage car of the 3 80 train for Fishkill. Arriving there, Davis was roughly slowed away in carriage and driven to the asylum. He was still drunk when he arrived there, and Dr. Allison had him undresscd and put to bed at once.
 He had suffered much from exposure and was in bad condition physically. He refused to make any statement and would not admit that he had seen Perry or had been with him. In addition to the stolen garments he had on when caught the full asylum garb excepting stockings and shoes, having escaped in his bare feet. He had on tho pair of rubber boots which
 
 Schoenfield's house the night after they escaped, Perry's stockings having been found outside tho door.
 If Porry was She burglar on that occa sion, he must havo secured other footgear and given the boots to Davis Otherwise both visited the house together. dividing what booty they secured, which was only a pair of rubber boots, a coat and sombre- TO hat.
 As soon as Dr. Allison learned that an- other man had been seen with Davis hs was impressed with the belief that it was Perry and nt once devoted all of his efforts in the direction of Hughsonville The po- lice of the surrounding towns were given the important clew. and Dr. Allison says he will not be surprised if Perry is caught today. Chief Humphrey of the Hudson River railroad, Captain FurlOng and De tective Ryan have left the city to patrol the railroad tracks between here and Fish, kill and to watch all the freight trains in the hope of catching Perry if he takes to the railroad.
