Stray Leaves From Reporters Note

 The DEMOCRAT has received a letter from C. c. Pond of Nebraska telling of the des- titution and suffering in the northern part of that state and requesting that as much publicity as possible be given to their ap- peal. Never in the history of our beauti- ful country" says the letter, "has poverty been so broadcast and terrible. It is true that many of our fellow -countrymen have come nobly to the front with willing hands and open pocketbooks Yet still the cry goes up to God. give us bread or else we die Kind friends, and members of asso- citations. will you help us to provide for these unfortunate people by soliciting con- trlbutions from the generous people of your vicinity. Aid us to care for the sick and feeble, and your reward will come as the sunlight from heaven.

 KEROSENE oil is high at present, but nothing to be compared with what it used to be when first introduced for household use. J. B. Harding of Ansonia has resur- rected an old cash book in which he kept his expenses thirty five years ago when he resided ID Troy, Pa. In October. 1860, he purchased kerosene oil lamp filled with ol. also a paper shade to protect tie eyes. for the transformation from tallow candles to oil was so great that the bright light was supposed to be injurious. Octo- b"r he bought gallon of kerosene for $l 25 December l he purchased one quart for 3l cents. Ia March. 1861, oil cost <l l2 gallon. and in 1863. at which time he resided Tn Chatham, Mass, oil had dropped to SJ cents. But at S1 25 per gallon oil was cheap as an illuminat or. for. | but short time betore MT Harding had paid $i for two gallons of sperm oil, as the ordinar whale oil used was but little bet ter than tallow dips for lighting purposes Mr Harding has the lamp he purchased ir 1S6O now, and it has been in constant ust ever since. though it has had to be fitted with buruers and cihmDeys many times.

SERIOUS CHARGES.

Michael Brahaney Says That Sewer
 Inspector Carpenter by Thr,nts and
 Promises Tried to Close His Mouth.
 The trouble which has been brewing in the sewer department reached the climax last night. when Inspector Carpenter laid of the men, assigning no cause for his action. There Is lots of work for the men to do and notwithstanding the fact that R couple of catch basins at the West End are badly in need of cleaning, the help are running from the City hall to the city engineers office trying to find out why they are not allowed to work.
 Michael Brahaney told reporter of the DEMOCRAT this afternoon that he had been persecuted by the sewer inspector since he complained to the mayor of the manner in which he had been used by MT Carpenter. ''Since that time" said Mir Brophy, "he has been bounding me from one piece to another asking me to go to the mayor aud the city engineer and tell them that did not know what was saying when 1 con- plained of him. He also wanted me to agree to be out of town when the matter wou come before the board. When entered complaint against Mir Carpenter I told the whole truth and cannot see how I could appear be- fore those men and d. ny what told them, l especially when it Is all too true. have a home and do not want to be away from it any longer than it is necessary, so cannot agree to leave town every other week, thinking that the matter might come up have refused to do either and on this account my life has become almost un- bearable.'
 Mir BEahaney spoke n acted like man | who,was being njustly treated and as a matter of common justice We think it is the duty of the mayor 70 investigate this matter and find cut what there is in It. Mir Brahaney Is only A working man. to be sure, but nevertheless he iS cltIzen of Waterbury and a human being, and as such his protest against the actions of his foreman should not be allowed to go un- needed. Mir Brahaney said he worked twenty-one days and three-quarters last month and was paid for one day less than that, why, he could not tell
