Agent MeIOy of the Brown Property
 Threatens the School Authorities.
 At the district meeting last night Chair man Wolff said that he had paid to D. Fl. Meloy agent for the Brown property, ,$5, ,OOO as agreed and that as the district would have to pay four per cent interest on the remai ming $20, GOO. he thought it would be well to pay up the whole sum and save the interest.
 Mir Meloy was present and stated that he understood that the $20, 900 was to re- main on interest for long period and if not he would be obliged to raise the inter- est from four to five per cent He said he didnt want the principal. but would pre- fer the interest.
 Chairman Wolff asked Treasurer Burns how much money he had belonging to the district. Mir Burns said that he had but $3S on hand. The chairman instructed the treasurer to call on the tax collector to-day and find out how the school fund stood. It was the oplnion of the meeting that no more be paid on the lot until the build iugs are removed and the land graded as agreed to ill the contract. It was voted to leave the payment of the remainder of the money in the hands of the chairman.
 Mir Meloy left the meeting and returned later saving that he had consulted with his attorney, Mir ONeill. and wanted certificates calling for five per cent interesl on the $2O,OOO. He was informed that his case would receive attention at tht proper time and left the meeting declaring tbat he would wait just one day more.
 The proposition to purchase the remain der of the lot was received and placed or file.
 There were two bids received for thu placing of q clock on the Washington school, one of $S75 from the Standard Electric Time Co. and one of $75O iron Lake, Strobel lS Co.

UNDER FALSE NAMES.

Two Brothers of Dr Buchanan, the
 Condemned Wife Murderer, Hid From
 Detectives in Waterbury.
 About two mouths ago, just before the time set for the execution of Dr Robert w. Buchanan, the condemned wife murderer, of New York, the authorities made an ef- fort to locate the brothers of the murderer. who. it was said, could throw considerable light upon the crime. They were unsuc- cssstul. It was learned by the DEMOCRAT to-day, that about that time one of the missing brothers came to Waterbury and remained under cover, boarding at the house of Mrs Adeline E. Stowe, IA North Main street, for several weeks.
 A reporter of the DEMOCRAT interviewed Mrs Stowe this morning. About two | months ago, she said, a good looking man called at her house and asked for room and board. He remained in the place few weeks and won the regard of all the boarders by his genial disposition and Centlemanly bearing. He was scholar and claimed to be preparing book for a mercantile house in Philadelphia. He dressed in the latest fashion. wore eye glasses and took pleasure in reading and dls- | cussing literary subjects. He once said he knew a brother of Dr Buchanan. who was a worthy man. He gave his name as Me l Nap. The uAY DuCududh was bo OO electrocuted he disappeared and nothing has been heard of him since.
 At this time, too, the New York papers rubllshed a story about the condemned man having brother who was travelling under the alias of McNab, and it Is be- lieyed that he saw the article, and fear | ing that he might be detected. decided to leave Waterbury. Walter NJ. Conway. a Bank street merchant, became ac- auainted with McNab, and rec cognized in him the original of the picture of Buchanan's brother, which had appeared in the papers. To another man McNab told in confidence a
 day or so before he left that he believed a man named Steppins, who came to Water bury ostensibly to have some machinery built, was detective. who was shadow ing him. He also said that if the New York authorities could apprehend him they would learn something very impor- tant concerning the Buchan nan case.
 Shortly after McNab's disappearance another man called at the house of Mrs Stowe and asked for position as cook
 Mrs Stowe could not believe that
 he was in search of work, fol
 was dressed in the garb of a gentleman and
 his appearance gave evidence of person
 of superior breeding. But as cook wa:
 needed at the time he was given trla
 and gave excellent satisfaction. remaining there until last week when he. too, disap peared. This man gave his name as Henr! l West. Mrs Stoves father lives in th' house and the morning West disappeareC he missed $13 out of his vest pocket. l l is not known whether West took tn money, but the assumption is that he did for there was no one else in the plac
 whom the parties could suspect
 West was tall, slim. dark complexion
 fellow with dark hair an moustache. While here West told a gen 1 tleman whose acquaintance he had mad , that he was a brother of McNab. and cam 2 to Waterbury on the advice of the latter Y and that both were brothers of Dr Blu | chapan.

LOST IN WALL STREET.

Application For the Appointment of a
 ConscrvntOr Over William FItzsi-
 mons, a We'll Known Character.
 4 case which will occupy all day and perhaps tomorrow is being tried before Judge Lowe in the city court room to-day. It is the application, of Mrs William K. Keaveney to have a conservator appointed over her father, William Fitzsimons. It is peculiar case in many respects and brought out some astonishing facts.
 Nearly everybody in the city knows the tall grey haired William Fitzsimons, who sells lamp chimneys and bar glasses. He carries his wares in hand basket from door to door. Everyone does not know. however, that this same peddler was a speculator in Wall street stocks and was also loser. He was down possibly as low as he could be and to-day one would consider him worth but little. yet the testimony brought out this morning showed that he had at his home $l 200 worth of glassware stock. He has made and lost fortunes and soon will come in for a bequest of 8, 900. His intimation that he would invest that money in Wall street, win or lose, caused his daughter to apply for a conservator.
 The application says that FitZslmons Is mentally unsound from dissipation. Attorneys Russell and Kennedy appear fol Fitzsimmons and Attorney Pierce for tho plaintiff. Of the several witnesses on tht stand this morning Officer Allen an6 William Keaveney. the husband of th' plaintiff. were mercilessly racked by Attor | ney Kennedy, Officer Allen bscame SC | flustered and unstrung that Attorney Kennedy threatened ts ask the court tC commit him for contempt of court unles he answered properly. Keaveney wal scourged until he was glad to retire iron the witness box. Attorney Kennedy c,ntention is that man who could lose fortune in Wall street and amas another selling lamp chlmneys is full! capable of managing his own affairs whether he is a drinking man or not.
