The Anniversary Reception of Protector Hose Co a Brilliant AfrAtr

The Anniversary Reception of Protector
 Hose Co a Brilltant Afralr.
 Protector Hose company fire laddies never do things by halves and the four teenth anniversary last night was iconvinc- ing proof of that fact. It goes without say ing that the fire house in Brooklyn has not it's equal in the city and never in the his tory of the company has there been such a reception there. The ground floor had been cleared of everything and trans- formed into a pleasant dancing hall. Here and there in red, white and blue char acters were the years 1881 and 1895 dis played. showing the age of the company. In the rear was the refreshment room where all received good cheer. Up stairs the scene was merry one. The parlor presented beauteous appearance and all night long was the scene of enjoyable amusements. Songs, recitations and piano selections reigned supreme, while Master of Ceremonies Thomas Nolan kept the programme running smoothly.
 It was nearly 9 o'clock when, in the spacious parlor, Foreman John E. Garyey welcomed in a few choice words his honor, Mayor Kilduff, the fire commissioners, Chief Snagg, First Assistant T. c. O'Brien, City Treasurer P. r. Bannon, Alderman Gregory and others of the in- vited guests. John l. Sake was the toast master and in his own characteristic way introduced each in turn. who congratu- lated the Protector hOys on their brilliant record in the past and offered their well wishes for the future. There was no company. they said, that added greater honor to the department than Protector. whose members were always ready and willing to respond to the call of duty. After the informal addresses soci4bility began and for hours fun reigned galore. The daylight hour found the happy party still there. The pretty girls who had charged on the house in force would moi retire and the gallant Protector boys. oi course, danced into the morning hours | with them.
 But the basement was where the sur. prise was. Decorator Bolger and Fireman Lachance had converted the dismal cellal into a palatial dining room and seven nicely arranged tables loaded down witt appetiziug viands were enough to make even a dyspeptic man feel hungry. The Protector boys did the catering themselve! and we'll did they do their work. Alto l gether it was the banner reception of tn, company and the fourteenth anniversary | will long be remembered.

Fiv- B.rgss Went Down in Last Nights
 storm and Ten Lives Are Lost.
 NEW LONDON, Jan 26-The ocean tug Storm King, of Philadelphia, Captain Umstead, arrived here this morning bring ing news of the loss of ten lives and five coal barges in the sound during the storm of last night.
 The Storm King left Providence yester- day afternoon, bound west. with five barges in tow. When of Point Judith terrific gale was bio Ting and a binding snow storm set in. An unsuccessful ef- fort was made to take off the men.
 The barges held together, in the storm until 3:S0 this morning. when the three in the rear broke away and were lost. The Storm King with the other barges went in search and succeeded in picking up two men, Edward Mulligan and Anton Car rick. both of whom were on the barge McNulty.
 When all hope of finding the others had been given up Captain Umstead proceed ed. but had only gone ten miles when the remaining two barges broke away and foundered. The Storm King, after a vigorous fight with the sea, reached this city this morning and is anchored at the Consolidated road dock. Ten men were lost

Burglars at UuIonvIIle.

UNIoNvILLE. Jan 26-Burglars broke into the postofice and station of the North Hampton road here early thismorning. At the depot they secured $35 in cash. Noth- ing wns taken at the postofice. It is sup posed that they broke into the postofice first, and the safe was blown open with dynamite and ths noise of the explosion awoke a man named Georgia who lives above the office. He went down stairs but when he reached the bottom was con- fronted by one of the burglars who flour ished a revolver and threatened to kill Georgia it he didn't go up stairs. Georgia who was badly frightened did as directed. It is probable that the burglars feared to hang around any longer and left without securing any more booty. At the dspol the burglars secured entrance by forsinf open front window. The safe was blowH open sad all the contents removed.

 BROOKLYN, N. Y., January 26.-Despite the storm the strikers were out all night cutting wires. and as result more damage was done than at any time since the strike began. Many of the lines are crippled again to-day.
 Justice Gaynor this afternoon granted an alternative mandamus against the Brooklyn Railway Go. This is practically victory for the company as it gives twenty days in which to file an answer.
 Master Workman Connolly this after nhon said he wished the strike was settled, as it had already caused too much suffer- ing He said if the motormen and con- ductors had taken his adyIce, there would have been no strike.

GETTING UNDER COVER.
Hall and Judge Cowsl
 Hasten to Explain. T |

Representative Hall and Judge Cowsil
 Haste n to E;xplain. ]. S} Representative Warren L. Hall called at the DEMOCRAT office to-day and stated tn at he had been misquoted by the reporter of the Meriden Journal He did not intend to insult the women of Connecticut and what he did say in reference to his bill to abolish the right of women to vote at school elections was as follows:
 ''I introduced the bill simply on general principles. I don't believe in women voting, irrespective of party lines. Fair minded women of all parties do not care to vote, which would naturally bring about a poorer rather than a better government"
 The Meriden Journal quoted Mir Hall as say ing that an undesirable" class of women took advantage of the franchise. What is the difference b.tween that and the statement to the DEMOCRAT that "fair- minded women do not care to vote ?" Were not the 700 women who voted in Waterbury fair-minded?
 The Meridsn Journal says. concerning MT Halls bill:
 That not so many women have voted as expected and claimed is true enough. but where does he get his authority for the statement that those who did go to the polls were ''only the undesirable classf" How 'undesirable?" Did that class only come out in Mir Halls own city of Waterbury. or does he mean to say it was so over all the state? If the latter. he is dreadtully mistaken. at least so far as Meriden is concerned. We can tell MT Hall that the women who voted here on school matters were a most desirable class intelligent, respectable, we'll connected women. who went to the polls, inspired by the highest, noblest motives. MT Halls repeal bill was of course referred to the woman suffrage committee. We wouldn't like to be in MT Halls place when the measure comes up for A hearing and he is called upon to answer some of the ques- tions that will be put to him."
 The New Britain Record says:
 Representative Hall of Waterbury is father to the measure introduced in the house repeating the bill which gives the right of suffrage to women on school mat ters He argues that the better class of women have not taken advantage of the opportunity offered them, and an inferior class have been attracted to the polling places. He is entirely wrong. Such may be true of Waterbury. but his town is pe- culiar in more ways than one. His better argument would be that the majority of the women of the state do not want school suffrage. The law will probably remain.

 THE stories told by people whose busi- ness it is to touch the hearts of the chari- table, are we'll enough known to fail in a majority of eases to enrich the tellers of them, and the seekers after charity are constantly pg the lookout for something new that will bear fruit One of the latest is used by woman who goes from hoase to house with the story that she ar rived in the neighborhood after long walk, to do washing or some other work for A woman few doors away. only to find her out. Then she asks the one ap- pealed to for loan of five cents to pay her car fare home with the assurance that she will return it when she comes back to do the washing. The scheme is said to work well. An overdone specimen of the tramp variety called at the DEMOCRAT office yes terday and instead of the stereotyped ap- peal for enough to buy something to eat. he asked for a dime to get 8 patch put on his shoe. And so it goes.
 ABOUT 6:S0 o'clock last night some fel- low stood in the doorway of saloon within easy view of the DEMOCRAT office and emitted a yell that could be heard half mile distant. Pedestrians stopp ed and looked in the direction whence the unearthly sound had proceeded, but therr did not seem to be anything the matter with the man. He then started down South Main street and had reached a point about opposite the entrance to the audi torium when some one stepped out of the saloon and called him. The man who had startled the neighborhood with his terrific roar turned and walked back to the saloon apparently unmindful of the sensation ke had created. When he had disappeared, woman on the other side of the street re- marked: Well, if that don't beat all ever heard. I let my bundle fall and started to run. thinking murder had been com mitted. If were man." she added, as she picked up her parcel and started of with a naughty toss of her head, 'I'd walk up there and give that fellow reason to shout"
 THE boys and girls have had a glorious time coasting the past few weeks, and the "open" hills are alive in the evenings and afternoons with a merry crowd It is ex- eellent exercise, exhilarating and health tul. It makes the "oldsr boys and girls" wish they could 'belly bump" or straddle sled as of old. Some accidents have re- suited from coasting, but only one of a serious nature. The boys have been on their good behavior and kept their sleds of of the sidewalks very creditably.
 The members of the big fishing party referred to in these columns are all home, but no amount of persuasion could get one of them to say A word about what oc- cured during the expedition. The most that could be got out of one of them to- day was: Between you and me we caught lots of fish, but on account of the item in the DEMOCRAT we decided to keep mum about the matter, because if we should tell anyone about it the first thing we would hear would be: Oh We knew you intended to say that"

JUDGE cowELL EXPLAINS.

Your article is very good and have no fault to find with it, except that it was stretch of paternity to call it the Cowell bill" said Judge Cowell to-day, referring to the editorial in the DEMOCRAT in regard to the bill to tax church property. "As far as having anything to do with framing that bill I am as responsible for it as the man in the moon, and no more so. The bill was handed to me by a man who in- troduced himself as Cornell. in Hartford. I looked over 1t to see that it was made out in legal form, then signed my name to it il Ink as the law requires. l also wrote the name of the man who handed it to me under my own with pencil so that the committee would know who to call on in case there was anything wrong. In doing this don't feel that I exceeded my right for I consider it the duty of any member of the legislative assembly to pre- sent a petition or remonstrance against petition from any citizen. Catholic. Prot estant, Jew or Gentile, and in doing so l cannot seq how any fair-minded man could accuse him of being the father of a bill so received and presented. I see that other papers through the state are now talking iu the same strain as the DEMO- GRAF. but think what have said will ex- plain matters so that the people will fully understand my connection with the church taxation bill
