ONLY X DUMMY"
That Bridge Bill Which Crept Into
 the IemiSlature


 the Legislature.
 The article in Saturdays Democrat regarding the proposition to bridge the Naugatuck river above Waterville seems to have pleased everybody and was one of the principal topics of con Versation about town Saturday night and Sunday. It is said now that the bill presented to the legislature is nothing but d dummy and that after 1t has been put in shape Waterbury will be dropped out of it and Litch- field county substituted instead. thus putting the entire cost upon New Ha- ven and Litchfield counties. But the people are not taking much stock ill this talk and make no bones of stating that in their opinion the bridge will not be built without saddling half the expense on Waterbury,. It would be big boom for Watertown and 8 few land onwers in the immediate vicinity of the bridge, it is Said but would be of no special benefit to any great num- Der of taxpayers of this town. Let them build a bridge at their own ex- pense,' said one of our big taxpayers to-day. "and maintain it until public necessity and convenience require one at this point and then no one will.have any fault to find. That is what was done down the road at what we used to call Turner's bridge. Those people kept bridge there for several years and while l never was satisfied that the public should have taken hold of it as soon as they did, still it cost the people nothing until there was con- siderable demand for it on the part of people in that section and the public generally It is said that the pro- posed bridge and approaches can iot be built for less than $1OO.0OO.

FACTORY "GHOsT' TALKS.
'One Armed Spirit' in Waterbury
 Mill Scares Employees.

"One Armed Spirit in Waterbury
 Mill Scares Employees.
 Under a Waterbury date the New York Herald to-day publishes the fol- lowing story:
 In a big factory here there is n "gEosf' that not only disturbs tho night. but talks to men it meets. One of the employees, an intelligent man, declares that he talked with tho grost of Samuel LuEcs few nights tgo Lukes died recently. Several months ago Lukes was severely hurt in q fac tory accident. At first his life was despaired of. but he recovered some. what, and was given light employment in the factory. The man had but one arm. and Of course was easily recog- liizaole. His injuries caused his death two weeks ago.
 One night last week after G o'clock when the factory was deserted except for the watchman and his assistants, one of the helpers was confronted, he says, by the spirit of Lukes, one armed and appearing just as the man did in life. Tnthinkingly the man spoke to Lukes. saying:
 "Sam, it's after 6 o'clock; why don't you go home?'
 "All right" said the ghost" 'I am going away in q few minutes.
 Suddenly the night man remembered that LuSes was dead. He screamed and ran away in terror. In his flight he stumbled and fell heavily, dislocat- ing his shoulder.
 His cries brought some of the men, and to them the frightened man told his story. They laughed at him, but he stoutly held that he had looked at and talked with Lukes. He sticks to his story, and has made such an inn pression on his fellow employees that they look with suspicion at the room 1 where Lukes's ghost appeared. His tale has created sensation among l the factory employees.
