 E. E. F. McMahon of the DEMOCRAT has . dishonored draft in his inside pocket which he will keep as constant reminder ofIhAn's ingratitude. A few days ago stranger came to the. city and registered at the Scovill house. He was A. H. -wnley of Athol, Mass, and was to all in. tents and purposes Q drummer. Mir Mo Mahon was formerly engaged in business in Athol and knew the Wiley family. A day or two after coming to town Wiley called on the newspaper man. introduced himself and was recognized although Ihe former had not seen him Tor nearly twenty years. He appeared to be a decent sort of fellow and when he asked the news paper man to endorse a draft for SIG, drawn upon F. D. Wiley, his brother, for the sake of auld lang syne Mir McMahon without hesitation fixed his name to the back of the paper. The endorsement met with the approval of Cashier Bryan of the Fourth National bank and the money was turned over to Wiley. who shortly after wards went to New York A day or two later the draft was returned unpaid and the'newspaper man is out sixteen ceases. |" He has received letter from Fred $ Wiley, who is e jmember of the dry goods firm of Ferguson.

in South America Finding, however, that she possessed the rare art of amusing people. she decided upon striking out on a comparatively new line-for a woman.
 She has a repertory of number of sketches, musical and otherwise, which she gives in a ovel and altogether unique manner. She was specially selected by MT. Pinero 10 give monologue in place of the ordinary curtain raiser at Tcrry's theater, London. and so successful was the experiment. that she was re engaged for two seasons Sh0 made tour of the chief provincial towns of England and every where established herself as q favorite. Last fall she came to America and made a six months tour of the States, with Now York her starting and finishing point, and although she appeared unobtrusively and unheralded she attracted large audi ences and received favorable newspaper notices- Last season she toured in South Africa, and her accounts of some of her experiences there are very amusing She narrates with great glee how on one occa- sion the president of the Orange Free State appeared at her recital in correct evening dress, but wearing carpet slippers.
 Mir. George Grossmith paid her a great compliment at the very commencement of her career by engaging her to represent him at the plano during period of illness.
 She is at all times a very busy woman, for she writes many of her sketches and Is also engaged in mastering French. In appearance she Is tall and graceful and Is possessed of charming manners.

BEWARE OF PITFALLS.

If the New Charter Is Adopted Liberty
 Street Extension win be Impossible.
 We were living in the hope of some day being able to pass from South Main street to Bank street in the vicinity of Plume < Atwood's factory on a good wide road bed, but the new charter renders such thing practically impossible It also shuts out the hope which people in other parts of the city entertained of having streets extended which would be a great conve- nlence 10 the working people and which the public has been clamoring for during the past ten years. On page @6, section 30. you will find:
 1.-The board of aldermen shall not be authorized to lay out any highway or street unless at least two-thirds of the damages occasioned by such layout, and not less than tEo-thirdS of the estimated expense of bringing said street to the grade adopted. can be assessed upon prop erty benefited by such layout. If the bureau of assessment cannot find property so benefited. it shall be it's duty to report such fact to the board of aldermen, and thereupon said layout will be void and of no effect"
 Most of the land along the much talked of Liberty strAet extension is owned by the Naugatuck Railroad Co, so that if the new charter passes with this section the fate of this street is doomed forever. This is one of the greatest public necessities in the city. The DEMOCRAT has repeatedly referred to the need of a street at this point. It calls attention to it now, so that all may be fully informed of what is about to take place

The fire occurred in Q small dark room where the mixing of chemicals is done. IL sets of from the laboratory in which are stored all the chemicals used. The whole is a portion of the long wooden building which is used mainly as a store house. While Az Murtaugh. who has charge of the chemical department, was preparing some acids in the laboratory at half past eight, Yard Foreman Max KRmak saw smoke coming from the mixing room. .MuFtaugh threw open the door. when a volume of flames interior was ablaze. In the room was a small closet from which leads an air shoot to the roof above. This was also ablazs and once the blaze reached the top the building would be doomed. The shop fire department laid inc of hose, but before they could use any water Murtaugh had dashed into the room with one of the fire extinguishers and soon had the flames ex- tinguished. Murtaugh received few burns and his sbopmates tried to hold him from entering the room. which was blazing like furnace. The fire had burned completely through the boards of the closet and Chief SHagg, who arrived on the scene later. said he did not see how an extinguisher could put out such & fire. The whole interior of the room was burned like charcoal. How the fire started is a mystery. unless there was an explosion of chemicals or the electric light wires had crossed. The damage was slight
