SAFE CRACKERS AT DERBY

The NauGatuck statIoa Entered Last
 NiGht-Ons of the Gang Arrested Alt. r
 Fight.
 The Connecticut safe-blowing gang struck Derby last night and made the Naugatuck depot the object of their visit. Tbey pried open the waiting room door with a jimmy, and from there easily got into the ticket office where an old-fashionsd safe holds the valusbles of the company. The burglars blew powder into the s4te through the cracks around the door, and lighting the fuse waited for the explosion. The big clock on the waiting room wall stopped at 2:34, so that is probably the time of the explosion. The safe door was blown across the room, the clustering was knocked of and several windows were shattered The safe contained $60, which Is all the gang got.
 Deacon Bushnell. an aged man, lives opposite the depot. He says he heard the explosion, and at once guessed the cause. He got up and went to the window but could see no one. He reflected that the burglars are always armed and he did not dare go out and investigate or give the alarm. As soon as the smoke of the ex- plosion dispersed he saw lights moving about in the ticket office and waited for half an hour for fear a fire might start from the explosion. He saw no one leave the depot, which is not surprising. as they could go out on the opposite side witho ut discovery.
 This morning when Conductor Frank Scott's train. which leaves here at 6:05, reached Seymour, a rather suspicious look ing character got on board. Mir Scott had heard of the burglary and decided to have the man arrested on suspicion on reaching Bridgeport When the train pulled into the station Conductor Scott gave a police man the tip and soon the alleged burglar was being escorted to the lookup. He proved to be very muscular fellow and made thing lively for the policeman. In d tussle which ensued the officer received black eye and Conductor Scott narrowly escaped having his lace smashed with a sledge hammer blow leveled at him by the prisoner. The officer was game ana landed the fellow behind the bars. On being searched a full kit of burglars tools were found in his possession. and about $63 in money. The fellow was Romeo Klawitter. alias Charlie Jimms. an Italian.
 Station Agent Bailey of Derby was noti- fled and went to Bridgeport. He identl- fled g counterfeit bill and two quarters taken from hls office klawitter will have Il hearing in Derby tomorrow. He is a well known western crook of Blooming ton H.

NEED OF A HIGH SCHOOL
The Project Which Has Been Quietly
 Resting Finds a Champion. Editor of khe DrNsocpAT.

The Project Which Has Been Quietly
 Resting Finds Champion. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 If it is settled question that this city is to give its young men and women educa- ton bordering on that of the collegiate, then let it be done decently and in a man. ntr commensurate with the dignity of the city. To have a school house that will not hold the pupils is very much like an invitation from the Traction Co to take ride when every seat is filled and pas senger is hanging to every strap.
 The present high school is n deception; not only is it full to overfowing, but it is uncomfortable as we'll. It is old. dingy high school should be model of con- venience. Itshould have pleasant recitation rooms and all those surroundings that savor of home. The young people who a. tend there are entering upon that period of life when the poetic instinct is develop ing and the character is being for med. To coop them up in the crowded high school rooms is like outlying flowers in q barrel and expecting them to grow.
 But there arises the old cry that the city has no money with which to build a new high school. When. however, people want what they haven't got they generally go in search of it. have been told that the district committee can lay it's hand on fund that would go long way toward paying for a new school. We all believe in economy and keeping down expenses. but It seems as if high school could be built by laying an extra two mlll tax for few years, The man wbc says cannot in such d city as Waterbury ought to be sent to Meriden where they never say anything else when public improvement is pro- posed. The way to resume. according to Horace Greeley. is to resume. The way to build a high school is to build it. would like to hear the opinions of others on the subject.

An unknown man was struck by Con- ductor Daly's train. due in this city at 3:20, at Burrville this afternoon. He was driving. attempted to cross the tracks and was thrown under the wheels. He was taken to Torrington and at 3:l5 was just alive.

 Judge Charles G. Roots term aS judge of the police court expired yesterday. He was appointed from February 1. 1893 until February 1, 1895. The bill creating him judge, however, stipulated that he should preside until hls successor was appointed. As yet no bill has been introduced regarding the local courts. That there is one either ready or in the works is very evident. however, and Judge Cowell is presumably the man who will step into Judge Roots shoes. In the event of the appointment of Judge Cowell Attorney William R. Mattison will in all probability be prose cutting attorney.

 Last Night
 MYsTIC, Feb l-Burglars entered the postottice here last night. Postmaster Daniel B. Danllson has not left any great amount of money in his safe on account of the great number of burglaries around the state, nor has he considered it neces- sary to lock the strong box. Last night when he closed the offic- he left only 8 75 in pennies in the safe. This the burglars secured, though they did not touch any of the fifteen boxes of stamped envelopes or postal cards. They d.d. how ever. take few stamps.
 Next the burglars turned their attention to the Noank station on the Providence division of the New York, New Haven X Hartford railroad. The safe here was locked and the men drilled a hole one eighth of an inch in diameter just above the combination. This was charged with dynamite and blown. The explosion tore the door of its hinges, and practically wrecked 1t. As a reward..the men secured S4 50 in small change. The ticket booth was evidently entered, and two 1,0OU mileage books were taken. None of the tickets were molested, however, nor any thing else in the place. Here the men left chisel which, with a screw driver left at Mystic, affords the only clue the police have to work upon.
