 To-day Constable Pryor arrested Joseph NJ. Trahan, q waiter at the Earle house, on d warrant charging him with bastardy. The complain ant is Miss Charlotte Robinson of Holyoke, who, accompanied by her mother, came to Waterbury to-day and had an interview with Trahan Miss Robinson is under eighteen years of and herself and her mother wanted to settle the case on condition that the couple get married right off. Trahan said this was impossible as he had been married last Friday at Naugatuck to a Miss Elizabeth H. Corcorkery of that place. This made things somewhat complicated and while the constable, the two women, Trahan and one or two others were discussing the situa- tion, q buxom young woman joined the party and wanted to know what was the matter with her husband.

FATHER CURTIN NOT A GUTTER
Says Two More of the Saloons will
 Have to Go.


 Editor Democrat:
 A conspicuous article in your cO1- umns last evening left the impression that the Hartnett case failed to come to trial this term of the superior court for the reason that 1 did not wish to push the case. In plain language, the author of the article would like to make me responsible for having the case withdrawn from the docket. Per- init me to state through the same col- umns that the reason why the case did not go before the superior court is that MT Hartnett and the wholesaler who is back of him never intended that it should get that far. The real reason why the case was not tried is that the applicants for the license failed to have the case tried previous to October 31, 1900, and no one will doubt that it would be a proof of im- becility on their part to try the case at any time since that distant date. There is no legal process by which q saloon could be opened ill the same To- cality since then without new appli- action for license.
 When interested parties see fit to make another application for license TO sell IlquorS or any kind i'll that same locality it will be time enough to prove how inaccurate the writer was when he made the statement. "Thus ends one of the greatest temperance fights ever maintained by an individual in the state" Knowing as I do the laws which regulate the licensing and clos ing of saloons, I am willing to risk my reputation as prophet by predicting that two more of the old saloons in our district will be closed before new one is opened
 The Hartnett case was withdrawn from the superior court for the reason that a trial would be perfectly useless to either side at, the present time. by a mutual agreement signed by counsel for both parties and without costs to either party.

FEEDING THE BIRDS.
Some People Who Make Practice ot It All. Winter Long.
 Waterbury, March ', 1902.


 Waterbury. March ', 1902. Editor of Democrat:
 l notice that considerable com ment has been made about the feeding of game recently and that a well known sportsman found nine dead quail last Sunday It is unreasonable to expect one man to travel over the entire country feed ing the game birds and that, too, with only part of each Sunday to do it in. I have personally distributed wheat and oats to the birds every second Sunday since the season closed and I know others who have spent the greater part of their time every Sunday in the woods doing the same thing If the sportsmen would inter- est themselves i'll the future crop of game and go out and feed it them selves it would be better than trying to load it on the shoulders of our game warden.

Diamond is an engraver by trade and commands big pay when he works. On South Main street, q man named Coffey who slept with Diamond, is now isolated on the top floor of the building. So far it can- not be said that he has smallpox, but his condition is suspicious and it was deemed advisable to separate him from the others. This has caused quite sensation in the building anl the officers are OH the alert lest tha crowd might decide to make wild dash for liberty and run their chances of getting shot rather than remain any longer there Coffey has had q chill followed by vomiting and is now suffering from 8 violent headache. While this may be due to an attaclS of indigestion brought on by high iiy- ing and want of proper exercise, stilr no one can tell and the health officer does not propose to take any chancess

Word was received here to-day that Henry W. French of this city, an eX- alderman and well known real estate edaler, but for some time past agent for the Monarch Manufacturing Co, was robbed of $400 this morning on the public streets at Toledo, o. A col ored woman engaged him in conversa- ton on a crowded thoroughfare and started to tell him sad story of pover- ty that existed i'll her home. It is thought that while MT French was listening to the woman some pal of hers got hold of his money. Ans way, after he walked a short distance from the spot where the conversation took place, he missed his money. The case was reported to the police authorities there, but there is little hope of recoy- ering the cash.
 MT French resides on Cherry street and is the father of Miss Cherrie M. French, who acquired considerable mo- toriety as a Red Cross nurse during the Spanish-American war.
