Presented Six Pound She'll to D. H.
 Tierney as Relic of the War.
 Harry Meyer. of g Vine street, one of the Waterbury boys who enlisted Ill the navy for service during the Span ish-American war. is home and is chock full of interesting "reminiscences of his experiences while on board the Charles ton and other vessels since the time of his enlistment on April 3. 1858. He was at the surrender of Manila and was on the Charleston when she foundered oH the island of Luzon on November 22. 1899 at , o'clock in the morning. All were saved and spent eleven days i'll small village at Luzon when they were taken on board the gunboat Heieanor. He reached San Francisco on board the Oregon June 22. this year, where he was mustered out with an honorable record. Mir Meyer called at the office of D. H. Tierney this afternoon and got one of the handsome souvenir medals which Waterbury has given to her sons who contributed to the sue cess of the Union army during the con- fiict with the Spaniards. When he vis- ited Mir Tierney's office he carried a six pound shell which he presented to Mir Tierney as a relic of the war; MT Meyer is q young man and while he en- loved life in the navy, still it was eyi- dent from his remarks that he has had enough of it and is satisfied that no matter where one may travel on land or on sea he ultimately comes to the conclusion that there is no place like Waterbury. PriOr to his enlistment, Mir Meyer was an employe of the Wa terbury Clock company.

 The fire company of the American Pin Go will give a public dance in the near future in the new addition to The shop. which is now being built. George A.

 The members of the board of alder men and the board of health and the mayor of Lawrence, Mass, paid visit to Rigney's crematory yesterday. While there they were well enter tained by Hubert M Rigney. This crematory is becoming widely re nowned and hardly week passes un- less it is visited by city or town off cials from different places in Connecti- cut and Massachusetts. 1t is model of it's kind and it works without a hitch. The visitors yesterday were highly impressed with its workings. After they had paid a visit to the crematory the entire party, about twenty in number, drove to the Scovill house i'll Waterbury, where they met Health Officer Frost of Waterbury | and members of the Waterbury board of health, and all enjoyed an excellent | spread.
 Contractor Pagan yesterday received | $1 ,500 from the state through the SC | lectmen as a part of the states share of the expenses of laying the macadam road. The entire cost of the road will be $4,500, the town paying part of the sum and the state paying the other part. In speaking of this subject. the Democrat once more calls attention to the fact that Highway Commissioners Macdonald has not as yet paid visit to this place to inspect any part of | the road.
 There is stretch of road on upper Main street which is unfit even for 3 lane in the woods. The bank on either side of the fifteen or sixteen foot road is several feet higher than the road bed. There has been one carriage ac cident there already. More will doubt lessly follow unless things are rem edied. The selectmen should do some thing in regard to this. It is said that l Seiectman Doran has promised to have this part of the street placed in 2 | proper condition. Let us hope he vii do so in a short time before there is s serious accident and big law suit.

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.
McLean-Kilbourne Element in Com
 plete Control.

plete Control.
 Columbus, O., July 10.-The Me Lean nIIbourne element at the district meetings secured control of all the com mittees and will accordingly have every thing their own way at the Democratic state convention today. They were so strongly in the majority that there was no friction.
 In the Twentieth and Twenty-6rst dis tricts, which include Cleveland, the John son men had things their own way as much as the Mclean men in the First and Second districts, which include Gin cinnati. But in the rural districts the latter element had almost everything. The controlling element did not ride rough shod" over Ininorities in any of the districts, but when names were pro posed for places on the committees there were inquiries as to how they stood, and if the replies were not satisfactory they were excused" in some cases as quiet ly as jurors and in others with ballots.
 The McLean-Kilbourne element, while unusually courteous, made no conces- sious The old state committee met previous to the district meetings and gave the tickets to the McLean-kilbourne men where there were eontesting delega- tions, and they took all the districts ex- -cept those which include Cleveland, in which, under the unit rule, they could not control vote.
 But the Johnson men, after the result of the district meetings, promptly an nounced that they would carry the fight into the committee on resolutions for an all night struggle and then into the con- vention flor fnish.' They have two strong men and vigorous speakers in Heisley and Baker, both members of Mayor Johnson's cabinet at Cleveland, on the committee on resolutions.
 It is predicted that the convention will not reach the order of nominations until late and that the proceedings may be protracted into the night.
 With all the efforts of the Mclean KiIbourne men for harmony, there is every indication of unusual scenes on the floor of the convention over minority reports, especially on credentials and res olutions.
 After the district meetings in the even ing the Kilbourne men advocated harmo ny in everything, and the Johnson meI received the benefits at the meetings o1 the committee of the movement for har the convention the committee on perma nent organization voted to make the en tire temporary organization permanent This continues Charles Fl. Salen of Cleve land as chairman and Negley D. Cochran editor of the Toledo Bee, as secretary Earlier in the week the conferences haC decided on Charles W. Baker of Cincin 1 nati for permanent chairman.

TRAFFIC OFFICERS.
Changes Made by Road ' Business
 Good.

Good.
 The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad company announced yes terday a reorganization of the freight department to take effect July 15, by whichsthe division of the rail lines east and west of Willimantic and New Lon don is abolished, and officers with Jurisdiction over the freight traffic of all the company's rail and water lines are appointed as follows:
 J. w. Williams. freight traffic man. ager; r. s. Holbrook, general freight agent; G. l.. Winlock, assistant general freight agent: ". F. Arnold, freight claim agent. With the exception of the general freight agent, who will be at New Haven. all these officers will be located at the terminal station in Bos- ton.
 Six of the twenty new passenger cars ordered by the New York. New Haven X Hartford road of the Bradley com pany have arrived and gone into ser vice. Reports from New Haven say that the passenger business of the road is taxing the capacity of the depart ment and that about all the rolling stock of the company is in use. The company has an order for twenty-seyen cars with the Pullman company. which cars will be used on the yestibuled trains. The Bradley cars are for the accommodation trains.
 The freight business of the road is also said to be heavy, much larger than at this time last year. and the indica- tions are that the next quarterly report will show a most satisfactory condi- tion of affairs.

ELECTORAL PLAN REJECTED.
Cuban Constitutional Convention Will Appoint a New Commission.

Cuban Constitutional Convention
 Will Appoint a New Commission.
 HAVANA, July 1O.-The Cuban con stitutional convention has rejected the commissions project for the electoral law by vote of 13 to r. The conservatives claimed that the law as proposed was too radical, inasmueh az it provided that there should be no interference with the elections by the central government and because the last elections showed it to be impossible to conduct elections honestly without some restraining power. They pointed out that the provinces and mu- nicipalities were as yet unable to govern themselves and conteSded that a free hand regarding electN,Is would result in calamity to the country.
 In the opinion of the conservatives the first elections under the constitution should be conducted with all possible safeguards, with safeguards equal at least to those provided by the military governor. Rather than accept the com missions project, the conservatives said, they would favor holding the elections under the existing law and leaving to the republic the task of drawing up a suita- ble law later.
 Another objection was that party lines had not been clearly defined as yet and that the law provided for political repre- sentation on the election boards. which under existing conditions would be a farce.
 General Sangnily voted with the radi- calls. explaining that although he did not believe in the projected law, he thought it would be a better plan to amend than to reject.
 A new commission will be appointed. The conservatives claim a majority in favor of the plural vote, based on the Belgian lS-

]. lE. Conventions Fourth Day.

CINCINNATI, July 10.-The fourth day of the conference of the Christian Endeavor society was light one so far as the programme was concerned but the Endeavorers, in their determination to miss nothing, were out en masse in at tendance at the two big meetings yes- terday. At the last moment the three big music hall rallies were concentrated into two meetings, which were held in the Auditoriums Endeavor and Willis ton. This same arrangement in all prob- ability will hold good during today, and the third meeting, which is scheduled for Auditorium Ohio will be dispensed with. Auditoriums Endeavor and Williston are amply sufficient to accommodate the En- deayorerS.

READING STRIKERS FIRM.
[t Is Claimed That the Company
 Broke Faith With Employees.


 Broke Faith With Employees.
 READING, Pa, July 10.-The Read ing railway shop hands executive com mittee met here, and the strike situation was considered. The committee claims as the company broke faith with the agreement reached between President Baer and Chairman Boscher they now stand where they were before that agree ment was made and the contest is again on the original list of grievances. ChairA man Boscher said that the men have de- cided to stand out for their list of griev- ances as presented to the company as though the agreement with MT. Baer had never been made and that the latter will no longer figure in the contest.
 It is asserted by man acquainted with Acting President Welsh that the company, having exhausted it's efforts at conciliation, would now try to run the shops with new hands. This, it is be- lieved, will lead to trouble, and it is pre- dicted that if the company introduces new men at the shops serious disturbance will enSue.
