ToRRINGToN'S DISGRACE.
An Unfortunate Tramp Allowed to die on Q Hard Bench In the Loeknp.

An Unfortunate Tramp Allowed to die on a Hard Bench In the Lookup.
 John Mack, aged 35, was buried in a pauper's grave in Torrington to-day. There were no mourners. No tears vera shed. He died far from home and friends and in a manner that is a lasting shame upon the fai rname of Torrington. If ever there was a case of mans inhumanity to man this was one. Mack was & tramp, one of the ordinary everyday kind, no better nor no worse than thousands it his fellows. Six weeks ago he was arrested in Torrington and committed to the Litch- field |. jail. He was released Friday and made his way back to Torrington. Broken in health and with no one to lend assistance, he obtained few drinks of liquor and went to sleep under a shed. He was found in the morn- ing dying of exposure. and taken to the lcckup. The police did what they could for the poor fellow. Two doctors were summoned, but Mack was beyond the power of medicine. Father Brennan also visited the sufferer. Application was dying man at the almshouse, but he re, fused, and early Sunday morning. lying upon hard bench in the lookup, with no one near to breathe prayer or soothe his last moments except the other tramps who had been given lodging. John Msck's life went out. He declined to tell of his family or friends. This morning he was buried. It was pitiful case and if the stony hearted selectman has & conscience 1t ought to trouble him.

Before tho war tho yacht America, which won tho Nmrrica's cup, was soid to Lord de Blanqtiicrc who cut down her rig and used her for cruising purposes un til 1861, when she was sold to n Thames boatbuilder. Ho changed her name to Camilla, rcplanked her with lockwood, fitted her with new top timbers and final ly sold her to tho Confederate government She was armed and renamed Memphis.

It was very evident from the crowded condition of St Patricks hall last night that St Joseph's T. A. society will have to
 secure mora commodious quarters for the monthly social meetings. Eight hundred and forty people paid admission and enjoyed an excellent evenings enter l tainment. President J. J. McDonald opened the session with a short but felici-
 tous address. mandolin solo by Miss Cecilia Herringer, accompanied by her
 sister. Miss Marie Herringer, received a deserved encore. The Misses Clara and
 Josie Mcknight. always favorites at these meetings. gave a beautiful violin and piano duet which also was encored. ney, which followed was, as usual, a stirring mperance oration. The reverend gentlemen held the closest atten- ton of his audience. A soprano solo by Miss Bella McCafrey of Providence. R. l., WAS so we'll appreciated that she favored the audience with another. The Ideal Banjo club lnterspersed the programme with delightful renditions whicn were worthy of all the applause received. J. B. Moran as usual sang his way into the good graces of those present with his rich tenor voice. Miss Nellie Donahue in two recita- 1 tions was as clever as ever and won warm l recognition, T. +. Conway or Southing- 1 ton with his sweet baritone voice owned the audience, who We're not satisfied until
 three numbers had been given. After the
 entertainment several members of the
 young mems temperance society of South ington and their lady friends were royalty
 entertained at the St Joseph T. A. rooms. The society desires to acknowledge the

CHARTER OPINIONS.

Guernsey S. Parsons Believes That th c
 People should he the Judges.
 The opposition to the new charter is growing stronger with each succeeding day. Some are opposed to the whole scheme, others are not iL favor of one man power, many want the schools left out of the consolidation and everybody believes that the people should be given . chance to act. Guernsey s. Parsons said to a DEMOCRAT reporter:
 "It is big thing and the people ought to have lots of time to consider 1t, It would seem that some provision should have been made to get it out and circulated among the people before this time, so that all might have an opportunity to note the changes made What chance is there now when it is expected to be presented to the legislature before that body adjourns? l have not had time 10 read it over care fully. so I am not prepared to say much on the matter, but I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the centre school district committee should be left as it now stands. That body should be kept as far removed from politics as possible"
 Another well known citizen said:
 II notice that Senator Webster gives as an argument for one man power that nc corporation would think of putting the execution of its affairs in the hands ot 6 board. They would place some one mau at the head with executive power. etc. can see no argument in this. For ex ample let us take the Benedict X Burn ham Manufacturing Go. Perhaps th' great business oe.s this concern is under one head. But you may rests assured ht is man of experience. honesty ant ability. They don't pick up an outsider of no experience to manage their affairs With a city It is different. We may cleo a man for mayor whose only recommenda tion is a long pull with the boys. Car we afford to let such a man run the city I should say not"
 Alderman Cross:
 Il am not in favor of the new charte in it's present form. I am opposed tC coDferring too much power on any par ticular man, no matter what his position may be. Human nature is much the sam in most men and I think the wisest thin the people can do is to divide the respon abilities of public office among as man. as possible without making things incon venient. In any case we want no kin and if Waterbury should ever decide t have such an officer, want to be electe' to that position"

The men in the freight house turned pale with fright at the sight Of the animal in their midst and had it not been for the agility of one of them who spraug forward and held the excited animal he certainly would have gone through the floor.

JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.

Hereafter PcddIcrs Need Not Take Out
 License in Waterbury.
 Attorney Thomas F. Lawlor won a case in the police court this morning which effect ually kills the ordinance requiring ped dlers to pay license fee. By the decision any peddler can come into the city and sell whatever he likes and he will not be mo- tested. John Lynch is an agent for a wash wringer company of New York. He was plying his trade when arrested. At torney L4awlor was engaged by the com pany, and entered the following demurrer in the case: ''The defendant demurs to the information because the statute under which he is prosecuted is void as being contrary to the provisions of the constitu- tioDRof Connecticut and of the constitu- ton of the United States" In defending the demurrer he said: The complaint was brought under .the statute of 1893. The attention of the su- preme court has been called to it only once. in the case of the city of Rockville vs William Conlon. In that case the de- murrer was overruled and the case went up to the supreme court. Here Judge Hammersley showed an error in the judg- ment of the lower court. This was con- cured in by the entire bench. Attorney Lawlor read several passages from the finding of the supreme court and offered the whole as evidence. He said that it was of the utmost importance that they got decision in this court as it would save unnecessary expense. Judge Root examined the finding of the supreme court and the complaint and said he saw no other way. from the opinions of the find ing. than to sustain the demurrer and dis charge the prisoner. Attorney Lawlor was congratulated by all present on his victory.
 Daniel Murray and James O'Nein ar- rived in town Saturday and both got loaded" and were locked up. This morning after being proven tramps, they were sent to New Haven Jail for thirty days.

GA suRerer'' Wants the People to Rise i'm Their Might and Assert Themselves. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir-In your issue of March 1
 there appeared an article calling the at- tention of the public to section %, page 36, of tue proposed new charter. explain ing to the citizens and taxpayers who have not been fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the new charter, that the passage of the same means giving up forever the thought which has been uppermost in the minds of thousands of our people, that is, having Liberty street extended to Bank street
 There has never been an improvement needed or one that would benefit the peo- pie as much as the extending of Liberty street to Bank street. How long would it take to have the street extended and nice sidewalks laid if the wives and daughters of some of our city fathers were obliged to | use it daily as the people do who live in Brooklyn and work on this side and vice
 veTsa2 Take the people who are obliged to go to Brooklyn to church and the
 Frepch and German people who come from Brooklyn to church Sundays and evenings. See the distance they have to
 walk Look at the people who go daily to
 work who use shis street. and for years
 have been obliged to climb up and down old steps and cross an old
 bridge, which they had built
 themselves by subscription which was taken up in the factories some years ago so that they could go and come to
 their work without being obliged 10 walk one or two uunecessarymiles, and then ask
 yourself whether or not you want this 1 charter. What are the people thinking
 about? Why don't they wake up. and de-
 mand of sur city fathers that no new char
 ter shall be railroaded through, ignoring
 the people who pay a big portion of the
 taxes of Waterbury. What we want and
 should have is that this charter be sub
 mitted to the people and let them de-
 eide.
