given leave to withdraw. The differ ent recommendations were adopted.
 The committee on abatements Sub- mitted report recommending that the taxes on various citizens be abated on the ground of poverty, and that other petitioners be given leave to withdraw. 1t would cause some people to swear and quite few to blush if the names of one or two of the parties who were referred to as .paupers" at last nights session should appear in the papers. Almost all the recommendations of the committee were adopted. One petition was aired pretty thoroughly, and dur ing the discussion some things were said relative to the financial standing of the petitioner that surprised most of the members. The petition in ques- tiOn was that of Mrs M. Baldwin of Naugatuck, widow of the late H. 0. Baldwin, in his day and time one of the best known public speakers in the state. Mrs Baldwin asked that the taxes on property owned by her on Drayer street be abated. At the time the taxes she desired abated were laid and became due and payable, the place was leased to George Hanley, who, ;ic- cOrding to agreement. was to pay the tax, but failed to do so. The question: was asked if Mrs Baldwin was so poor that she could not pay her taxes. and some one replied that she had to take in boarders to maintain herself. AL dermen Cross and Goss thought that Waterbury was not in duty bound to maintain the poor of Naugatuck, and on motion of MT Goss the report of the committee was received and the peti- tioner given leave to withdraw.
 The board then adjourned.

MARRIAGES IN JUNE.
Month Just Past Beat the Record for
 Waterbury.

 Waterbury.
 Whatever business troubles or other i'll effects that may be charged up against the strike of the machinists for nine hour work day, Dan Cupid has no. cause against it. For during the month of June for years back, the month which everybody knows who has anything like heart in his ana tony, is the month of all months when people like to get married. MT Cupid has evidently not worked sohard or had been given so much encouragement as the month just passed. He must have laid awake nights plotting and laying traps for unWary feet and thinking up the sweetest things and thoughts to put in the mouths and minds of young fel- lows and girls. It is highly probable that MT Cupid did not sleep at all but worked as he never worked before for such string of hearts he captured last June that he evidently did not give one thought to the strike and is evidently not in favor of q short work day. Which the average man will admit is very foolish and old finnish for such SpAAhStiJ Cudp us MI OAlplNs ! U mOralize no further Dan worked up sixty-two marriages last June beating his record of the same month in last year by thirteen exactly, showing that record to have been forty-nine.
 Now to prove that the strike did not effect the local matrimonial market one bit the town clerks records show that of this number only six were la borers. The record in total is as fol- lows, showing that almost every branch of business and a profession or two is represented in Mir Cupid's list: Fire men 3, railroad ?, blacksmith 1, barber 1, shop hands 21, foreman 1, butcher 1, shoemaker l, roller 1, merchant 1, tav- cling salesman 1, collector 1. mechanic l, conductor l, wood worker l, laborers ,, clerks 2, commission merchant l, bookkeeper l, pin maker 1, paperbox cutter l, toolmaker 1, machinist ?, pa perhanger1 1, grinder l, lawyer 1, mason 1, painter 1, teamster 1. manufactures l. There's record that any city may be proud of. 1t may be like gall and wormwood to the editor of the Hart ford Post but it stands nevertheless and no tears can wash it out. Itshows that Waterbury can face anything and survive it.

New Haven, July 9. Thirty-five members of the local lodge of the New England Order of Protection have been expelled as the result of an investiga- tion by the grand lodge of the order. Complaints were made that many members joined the local lodge upon false representation in regard to their age in order to secure the reduced rates of insurance.

feet.
 Chicago, July 9.-The Record Herald says: The Western rate situation has been taken in hand by the railway presidents and last night there was talk in certain quarters that the cut rates promulgated by the Santa Fe would never go into effect.
 This view was strengthened by the fact that the presidents of the lines in- terested held a conference yesterday afternoon in which the Western Trunk line committee called for to-day was postponed until Friday. It is under stood that President Stickney of the Great Western will arrive in this city to-day and will meet with the presi- dents for the purpose of presenting his side of the story. The presidents will hold another meeting to-day.
