Waterbury Democrat., 1901-07-23


 the new law passed at the last general assembly do not seem in a hurry to file applications as required of them. Only about twenty have so far com piled with the law. Yesterday many of them took the oath which precedes the filing of an application. The oath requires a statement regarding the ap- plicant's time in the business, age, na- tivity and a number of other matters of purely personal nature.
 That no resort is so popular as New port is evidenced by the advance sale of tickets for the popular excursion next Thursday, advertised in another column. Special interest is added to this excursion from the fact that the rival yachts Constitution and Independence are in these waters vieing with each other for the privilege of defending the cup in the coming international yacht race. The excursion is strictly limited, as announced, and it is prob able that the tickets allotted for sale in Waterbury will b purchasd before the morning of the excursion.
 There was a good dash of rain last night, accompanied by an electrical display that rendered the arc lights entirely unnecessary, and it was a wonder the company did not manage to save few dollars by shutting off the circuits for an hour or two. Bolts of fire darted in all directions, and it is a wonder how barns and houses eS- .caped being struck and set on fire. The storm woke up many people who watched the display while it lasted. The rain came down in torrents for a short time, but it stopped before doing 6 lax hn dr1cf
 There was a big sensation at the plant of the Scoyill Manufacturing Go shortly before noon to-day. The roof | of the south mill caught on fire and | started to blaze furiously Many ] thought it would be necessary to send | in an alarm, but the company's de- partment got into the harness so l quickly and did their work so effec- | lively Ithat the fire was extinguished in | short order. There was no damage done to speak of, The Scovill Manu- l featuring Co is provided with one of the best private fire departments in Il the state, and it is said that the boys are so thoroughly drilled in the art of fire fighting that they are more than match for any contingency that is likely to arise on the premises.
 Some one pulled box 5S2, corner of Baldwin and Rye streets yesterday af ternoon and gave the fremen a good l run in the heat for nothing. It was | false alarm but no one seemed to know who sent it in. Rose Hill Hose Co No , did some tall hustling getting there and it must have been provokin. to the boys when they reached there tc find that there was no fire. One o1 | overcome by the heat and collapsed when he returned to the house. Ht was attended by Dr McLarEey. Chic! Snagg is very much annoyed over these false alarms and was so ang:y to day, something unusual for the genia chief marshal, that he could hardly speak. 'sThere," he said to Democrat reporter. "are two false alarms il broad daylight
 William Butler, aged @, died thi: morning at his home, 209 North Elm street. MT Butler had been ailing for some time, and the death of his little son four weeks ago, together with an accident which he had in getting of | a car some six weeks since, seemed tC weaken him and he has failed very rapidly since. MT Butler came to Wa terbury when very young boy ant started to learn the plumbing trade with the A. Burrit Hardware Go, witt whom he was associated for 30 years Later he opened plumbing and heat ing establishment on Union street which he conducted until his healtI began to fail, when he sold out hi. business to NJ. J.. Donnelly. For tht past seven or eight years MT Butler has been able to attend only to his real estate, of which he, by his hard labor has acquired considerable. Ht | leaves besides his widow six children Frank J of Greenyille. Miss, who hal come to attend his fathers funeral Julia A, William J., George H., Mar! E. and Louise A. His youngest son Augustine, died four weeks ago. Tn, funeral arrangements will be arranged later.
 Considering the kind of weather w, are having there is very little seriou sickness about town. 4 few childreI are dying of cholera infantum, but tn, number is small compared with wha it was a year ago. During the -pasi week quite a good many grown people have been obliged to give up work or account of an attack of cholera nor bus. and while the condition of none of the patients heard from is consider ed serious, still it is thought that i will be some time before some of then will be able to do anything. The bes thing to do when one finds himself giving out is to hurry home and sent for the family physician. Don't wal to consider whether you can afford t, pay him or not. If you have not tn, money on hand the doctor will be will ing to wait until you can afford to pa, him. If you don't want to do business on this plan and have no money, Wa 1 terbury has a town doctor whom tn. selectmen will send to your house a short notice. In any case, get a phy sician. Pay him if you have the means and if you haven't call in the towl physician. It may be inconvenient t, be poor, but it is no disgrace and be sides few will know whether the doc tor Is calling upon you as the towl doctor or as your family physician.
