People in Different Parts of the City
 Annoyed by 1he Burning of Factory
 Refuse.
 Residents of South Main street below the Waterbury Buckle Go complain of the annoyance caused by the burning of rub biSh on the waste land of Benedict & Burnham's at the east side of the Nauga- tuck river. Their case Is something the same as the one which caused so much trouble to residents of Washington avenue from the smoke at Holmes, Booth X Hay dens' yard. While the distance from South Main street to the smoke pits is several hundred feet. still the dark vol tunes of smoke reach there causing a smell which at times Is very offensive. IL Is said that these fires ar 6 not lighted by order of the company, but Is the work of mischievous boys. ln any case there were three nice little vel alcS in erup':ol at this place last night and the whole territory was enveloped in cloud of black smoke which came across the lots in graceful curves causing many A fair pedestrian to dodge in all directions not only to avoid being suffocated but also to shun the un- pleasant sensation it produces about the eyeballs. We think if some one would call at the office the matter would be seen to for We feel quite sure that the managers of the concern do not desire to make things unpleasant for their neighbors. A similar state of affairs exists on East Main street. Fires are constantly burning along the bank of the Mad river near the Meriden railroad station and are said to be kept alive with refuse from the Scovlll factory. much to the annoyance of people living in the vicinity. It Is a nuisance that should be abated.

Rag PIckers Taking Away Baggage
 Master ThOmpsOn's Belongings on

 Baggagemaster ''Cy" Thompson of the NaugAtuck depot is one of the maddest man in town to day. Usually he is in the best of spirits and has A smile and cheer ful look Tor all corners. This morning he was gloomy and morose and went about his business with downcast eyes as though he was at swords points with all his neigh bors The cause of all this change leaked out this afternoon and when one considers the aggravating circumstances connected with the affair no one can blame him. Last week some one stole handsome door mat from hls residence on Cnion street. and thinking that il might have been pulled away by playful dog or mischievous boy MT Thompson spent couple Of evenings inquiring among the neighboTs about the mat But it's whereabouts remained a my ystery and finally 1t was given up AS lost. That was bad enough, but something worse was coming. This morning Mrs Thompson heard footsteps in the back yard. and look ing out saw rag picker hurrylng out of the front gate. As soon as she could get to it. Mrs Thompson opened the back door and at once missed Sj pair of shoes be- longing to her husband. which with n few other things she had laid there a few nm utes before while she was doing some house cleaning. By this time the rag picker had disappeared and the woman could not tell which way he went When Mir Thompson went home to dinner be was informed of the theft of his shoes lm' mediately the thought of the door mat came into bis mind. and th's with the loss of hls new shoes almost drove him crazy.

Tho police immcdi atcly separated the combatants and took them both to tho police station. Lord Al fred's countcnanCo was disiigured with black eye.
 Neither the father nor the son preferred a charge against tho Othor. so they were merely charged with disordorly conduct. They will bo arraigned in the Marlbor- ough Street police court today. On lcav- ing the police station Lord Alfred Douglas walked quickly to Regent streot and took refuge in the friendly shelter of a cab.
 Lord Douglas banged his father $ head with m umbrella during tho fight and loudly asked whether the Marquis Oi Queensberry intended to cease writing ob- joctionahle letters to Lord Douglas wife. The police arriving upon the scene Lord Douglas excitedly repeated this accusation of persecution. which he said had occurred since ho had gonc on the bail bond of Cs- car Wilde.

BUYETHE WHOLE LOT.

The Owners Of the Brown Property
 Propose to Main' ain Nuisance in the
 Shape ofa Barn Under the Windows
 Ofthe Proposed High School.
 There will be another session of the board of education and the district com mittee at o'clock tonight. when the state ment of D. Fl. Meloy in reference to the conditions of the sale of the Brown lot will be discussed. The committee appointed to confer with Mir Meloy held long con- ference with that gentleman last night. IL is proposed to remove the house north on the unsold land and the old stables to the rear of the lot. This. we think. will cause considerable objection on the part of the members of both boards. for an effort was being made to keep clear of livery stable in making a selection. The statement calls for $5, ,000 of the purchase money to be paid down. The remaining $2O.UO0 may remain at 5 per cent interest as long as il suits the district.
 The suggestion made in the DEMOCRAT yesterday that the whole property be pur- chased meets with general approval. Dr Hiuckley of the board of education favors this plan and it may be discussed at the meeting this evening.
 There was good deal of comment yes. terday about the statement that the demo- cratic members of the boards were being in fuenced by politics to purchase the Hefter- nan lot. Everyone knows that this was gotten up as a scare to prevent democrats from advocating the purchase of this lot. If a party vote should have been decided upon it would be hard to tell which lot would be favored, for most of the de- sirable sights were owned by democrats, It is impossible to think of the local de- mocracy and not be reminded of the name Browp, and Spencer and Parsons are also | familiar democratic names, so that it was the peculiar name of the man who ownes the lot at the junction of East Main and Dublin streets and not his politics which caused all the alarm. But while the dem ocrats of those boards were lu the majority and could have carried thing' to suit their friends if they wanted to dc | it, they did not want to go on record as mak ing political job out of the school sit, | just as our friends in the court of common
 council have done with the charter busl
 ness Of course if they all had voted fo
 the Heffernan lot people would hold III
 their hands in horror and pronounce it l piece of rank partiSauship. but W hen repre-
 sentative bodies of the other side unite t
 force measures upon the public regardless of the opinion of town meeting and pro
 tests through the press from prominen
 citizens. it is regarded and spoken of a principle, nothing more than the righ
 which belongs to the majority.

Another Important 0ueStIon Debated aud

 PITTsBURG. May 22.--The ''storm con- ter" at New York made itself felt in the atmosphere of tho Presbyterian general assembly at Pittsburg again. The winds of debate had only just cleared the ecclesi- astioal sky of tho cloud of assembly control of seminaries when another cloud from New York loomcd up in sight. But it was only passing thunderhead and was dissipated with only three putfs of wind. one of which was furnished by Elder Ster- ry himself acting as the mouthpiece of the members of the Now York presbytery del egation.
 Tho question to the foro was the re-elec tion of certain men who arc connected with the Union seminary to the position of members of tho board of homo missions. Apparently there was considerable OppOSi- tion, but it failed to develop enough cour- ago to stand up and be counted.
 The responsibility and credit fer the ac- tion of the assembly in rejecting the pro- posal of the New York delegates aro Gcn- orally given to Rev. John Hall. His at tention was called to tho report that the Union men were to Ge turned down, and ho set about nCgativinG such proposals What promised to bring out opposition was tho erection of a building for tho use of mission boards in New York at a cost of Sl, 75O, GOO. But even the opposition of Elder McDougal of Cincinnati failed tc make itself effective In other words, the assembly. while overwhelmingly Conserv- | ative, has refused to mako itself the tool of conservative extremists.
 Most of the sessions of the day were de voted to the missionary and benevolent interests of the denomination.
