PLATT MILL BURNED.

Ala summoned From Waterbury But It Could Not Be GIver-TOtal Loss Placed at SI9,OOO.
 The plant of the Platt Mill Co, on the fire this safternoon The flames were dis covered at 2:15. and had probably been burning an hour at that time. It is be- lieved that the fire was caused by the care- lessness of an employe. who was thawine out water pipes in the cellar, setting fire to some sawdust. which smou'de long time before it burst into flame.
 The building was a brick structure two stories in height. with one story addition occupied by the Platt Butnto Go i The fire burned fiercely and.ssthe Platt | could not be saved. The water pipes were frozen rendering the company's steam pump useless

In the build ing occupied by the Platt Button com pnay were several tons of spelter. two sets of rolls and other machinery. The com- pany's loss is $4 000, no insurance

AUGEAN STABLES CLEANED

Queer State of Affairs Just Brought to LIEhf-Strset Inspector ReIIey's Report
 Shows How the Peoples Money was ReckIessIy Spent In 1898. The annual report of Street Inspector Rieley. which will be presented to the board of road commissioners tonight, is we'll worth careful perusal by every citizen and tax payer of Waterbury. It proves beyond peradventure that the inspector has devoted his entire time 10 the dis charge of the duties of his office. The saving in some of the departments is the " of the town. In 1893 the expense of the city barn amounted to Il OFT T6. In 1891 it cost the modest sum of $434 80. There were four horses in the city barn each year. The figures tell the story without any elaboration. The question will naturally be asked, how the street in- spector managed to employ more men and teams during the year 1894 out of an ap- propriation of $32. 300 and consequently perform much more work, than his prede- cesSnr did in 1893 out of an appropriation of tle same amount.
 The question is easy 10 answer. At the outset Mir Kelley made saving of $l2 a day on foreman and was thereby enabled to employ eight laborers who worked dili- gently the year around for the sum hereto fore paid D overseers. He was constantly at work himself. and in this way supplied the place of couple of foremen. The principal difference between the manner in which the appropriation for the street department was expended in 1898 and 1891 is found inlhe fact that the money formerly aid to men who did nothing but stand on the walk and look at others dig and shovel. was, under the management of the new inspector, devoted entirely to the payment of men who rolled up their sleeves and went to work. The following is inter esting as comparison:

ANNUAL POLICE REPORT.

Nearly 1,5OO Cases Brought Before the
 Court 1894.
 Commissioner Cross presided at the meeting of the police board last night. The oath of office was administered to Messrs O'Brien and Goodrich, the new commissioners. On recommendation of Chief Egan. Patrolman Hayes was pro- noted from grade to grade 5. The ap- polutmeat ot Joseph Huey and Thomas Brown, as special constables for the Way side Inn, Was approved. The annual re- port ot Chief Egan was received and ap- proved.
 The work Of the department during the year is summarized in report and the need and value of signal system and patrol wagon Is discussed.
 There We're 4 +6 cases brought before the police court, of which number 1873 were against males and IF against te- males. Appeals were taken in 125 cases, and in thirty five cases the prisoners were bound over to the superior court.
 There were 536 commitments to the county jail, exclusive of those who ap- pealed or were bound over to the superior court and were taken to jail in default of bonds.
 The total fines and costs imposed upon those who were committed to jail amount
 
 they were sentenced to serve 1O, 96O days In county jalls in this state prisoners are allowed 50 cents per day to apply on their fines and costs. so that 1t would take H. 5Sl days to work out the fines and costs. If we add to this the 10, 960 days We have total of 25. 541 days. but nine days less than seventy years. It will thus be seen that our police court has supplied New Haven county jail with an average of seventy inmates for the entire year. and their transportation cost this city S1, ,S22.
 In addition to the above. in thIrty-eight cases, the parties who took an appeal or were bound over to the superior court, were taken to jail in default of bonds. From the foregoing 1t would seem as though Wa tel bury was somewhat in need of jail in well as a court house.
 The total number of dodgers during the year was 6.5S7. of whom II were females This is by far the greatest number that has ever applied for shelter. being 3,992 more than the last year, and 1895 more than in 1892.
 Miscellaneous. Time lost by regular force, days, 5S3A. special duty performed. hours, 1878. stores and offices found open, 2S6, electric lights out of order. 1l2.
 Licenses: Received for junk dealers aud pawnbrokers' licenses $24, received for peddlars' and transient traders licenses, $1 105. total received for licenses, $l ,129
 Received of clerk of police court: To take prisoners to jail. Sl .252. to summon witnesses and make arrests. Sll2.25. total $l, ,434.25.
 Appropriation s31 .O00. total expendi- lures for the year s29, 34G s1, unexpended balance. $1, ,653.19.
 In conclusion Chief Egan thanks the po- lice board, court officers and members of the department.

Kelly Says

The way to get rid of Tramps is to draft them into the regular army. They are alto gether too numerous and are setting bad example to the rising generation by show ing that they can live without labor. be- lieve the tramps in this country are equal in number to the standing army of any nation in Europe. Tramps as a rule are healthy and able bodied men and with strict discipline. cleanness and good food, would make good soldiers. As long as we are obliged to support these fellows and the United States are asking for new re- cruits for the army the tramp should be forced into military service and the day will come when he and the people in gen. eral will bless you for your actions and will sell you Washburn Crosby company Flour for 8 95 if you give my man an empty barrel and a hundred pounds of white Extra c Sugar for $3. 98.
