A Sch eme to Get Even With the Head
 of the Knights of Columbus. -n,.
 The New Haven Leader says: ruu
 The report of Supreme Knight J.TJ. phelan of the Knights of Columbus is n matter of general discussion among local members of the order. The report as read at the recent meeting of the state council shows a falling of in membership in this state of 330, while in other states in New England has increased very materially.
 Members of the order who have been more or less closely identified with the organization since its organization some ten or twelve years ago, say unhesitatingly that the loss in membership last year is but a small proportion of what it will be this year. The purpose of this movement is to break up the self-perpetuatiug nation al council.
 The idea of the revolutionary members of the order in this state is to so reduce the Connecticut membership and so in. crease that of the other states at the next national convention. that the delegates from lodges outside the state will SC greatly outnumber those in it that they will sWoop down upon the National eoun cil and legislate it out of existence, sub stituting in its place National council the members of which shall be elected a each annual meeting of the Grand council
 The arbitrary position which the mem- bers of the supreme council have taken re- garding certain matters has stirred up nc end of bitter feeling. and it is stated that the Knights of Columbus of the state have sounded ssx-Secretary of State fhelan !; political death knell, and that so far as politics go he has been put upon the shelf forever

BASE BALL SCHEME DEAD
The State League CIs Practically n
 Thing of the Past.

The State League tis Practically a
 Thing of the Past.
 The state base ball league is practically dead.
 h New Haven it is said that Charles H, Miller, who is behind the proposed team, is willing to enter league provided there are Eve other cities represented in the league, but absolutely refuses to continue unless the league is composed of at least six clubs.
 In Hartford the attempt to form a base ball team to play in the proposed state league seems to be an absolute failure, and even though numerous attempts have been made to form a stock company. ali have proved unsuccessful.
 In Bridgeport and Meriden base ball matters are booming and the indications are that in both these cities the game would be very successful.
 In Waterbury base ball is about as '.dead as a door nail," and absolutely nothing has been done in reference to having the city represented in the state league. The trouble here is lack of con- tidence, and no one can be found who is willing to invest any money in the enter prise. The president of the league and Superintendent Gray of the Meriden cleo trio road will visit Waterbury with view to getting the electric road at this city to fall into line if possible

A CORRECTION.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

Sir-We desire to correct through your columns a gross islander printed about us in one of last Sundays papers, in connect ing our names with an alleged carousal on Railroad Hill street. We desire to state that we have no knowledge of the parties with whom our names have been connected and do not know the men and never was in the house where the festivities are said to have taken place. We believe it to have been the work of malicious neighbors who have no characters of their own and con sequently have no respect for other people who are trying to do what is right.
 Respectfully,
 MARY MAdNER

 The councilmen did not hold a meeting The democrats went into the police court room to talk over some matters and while thus engaged the republican members of the board called tbe meeting to order, ad- journed and started for home. The re- publicans went to the meeting with their ammunition already prepared to fight ob- jectionable features of the new charter but they could not brook the idea of the op- position having any voice in the matter and took offence and refused to remain for the meeting. At the meeting a week ago last night Alderman Cross admitted that he was the spokesman of his friends in the council chamber and produced pocket full of amendments nearly all of which were adopted. the democrats voting for every change introduced. But it was feared that the democrats were going to have an inning last night and the cry of politics was raised and on this ccount nc action was taken on the new charter at the meeting

doubt if they have 8 right to build up value for the city of Waterbury to pay for, on the ground that it is value destroyed by the city's sewage. If that building that they are going to build up will have no value when it is built how can they col lect any value from us for it Have they not stopped themselves by their litigation from any claim of loss of value to this building that they are going to build? If there was any right to a claim for damage to the old building, there cal be no such claim now, as the building was burned down. Now. if they put up another build ing they put it up with the full under standing of the conditions; and those are. that Waterbury's sewage goes under their nose; and if they desire to do so they can keep it under their nose. without letting it go by; and if they do keep it to smell of and to look at, it probably will not be agreeable.
 Now what would recommend is this: That the request for permission to issue $500, ,000 sewage bonds be withdrawn. And with regard to any impression that by considering this question ( bonds, or by employing MT Horing to look into this matter, or by any other act that the city has done, or any talk that there has been, or any position that it has taken, that 1t recognizes any liability for any damage to anyone on account of its sewage. or any responsibility for making a change in it's present disposition of the same; that any such impression be removed by entire dis avowal of any such liability or responsible ity.
 trust that from this time forward We shall stand squarely aHd solidly upon our feet in defense of the rights that nature l AhoA Ga G. | us.
 might go further with illustrative cases where what may be claimed as ''prior rights" are decided as inferior to a com munIty's rights established by necessity but do not feel that this is now required, or that it is for me to make any attempt to exhaust the arguments on which oul rightful position is based.
