DOWN AT THE CAPE.
Bv r. w. FARRELLY.

Down at the cape the waters murmur low
Is music sweet as any sound we know;
It sings from Ger the dancing wavelets crest
A song that ulls the weary soul to rest,
While laziy the sea gulls come and 60.
While on the dim horizon to and fro
The ships pass by, their canvas white as snow,
To gently vanish as cares suppressed.
Down at the cape,
Our time we bide where salty breezes blow,
Uere by the tide in ceaseless ebb and flow,
Here where the deep by harvest moon caressed,
Makes golden night upon the placid breast
Of ocean, powerful to charm so,
Down at the cape.

 Reelected to Old Positions.

Superintendents Kelley and O'Brien
 Reelected to Old Positions.
 The board of public works met yes terday afternoon, Mayor kilduH pre- siding, and all the members being present. City Clerk Ryan read the warning and administered the oath to the board, the mayor remarking that all the new faces appeared familiar.
 Applications were received from E. B. Kelley and John F. O'Brien for su- perintendent of streets and water re spectively. The communications were received and placed on file. On mo- tion of Mir CheSson it was voted to proceed to ballot for a superintendent of streets. The chair appointed Com- mssioners Blakeslee and Whiting tellers. In announcing the result of the vote MT Blakeslee said that 1t gave him great pleasure to state that the five ballots cast were for Mir Kelley. The chair announced MT Kelley elect ed superintendent of streets and re- quested the tellers to escort him into the meeting. MT Kelley, who hap pened to be coming forward at the time, was introduced to the mayor and members of the board in a short speech in the course of which the commission CT said that it afforded him much pleasure to inform him of his appoint ment as superintendent of streets for the next two years. MT Kelley thanked the mayor and members of the board for the honor and promised to dis charge the duties of the office to the best of his ability.
 In answer to a question from one of the commissioners as to whether the superintendent of streets will have jurisdiction over all the streets in Wa terbury, the new and the old districts, the mayor replied that he did not see what other construction could be put ! upon It. The superintendent, he said will be in charge over all the streets. 1t was then voted to proceed te a ballot for the election of a superinten- dent of water. MT O'Brien received the full vote of the board. Again 7 said Teller Blakeslee, it gives me pleasure to announce that we have made a unanimous choice MT O'Brien has all the votes." The mayor de. clared Mir O'Brien elected superinten. dent of the bureau of water. NIT
 O'Brien was not in the building and a diligent search about town failed to reveal his whereabouts. This prompt
 ed some one to say that owing to a l feeling against him on the part of the
 mayor and one or two members of the
 board MT O'Brien had concluded not
 to accept the position. There must
 have been some mistake about this
 There has not been one word uttered

EMMoNs CASE INVESTIGATED
SrTr5as7s=:77 77sszGent Doran Called on the
 Family Yesterday.

Family 1eSter0ay.
 Yesterday afternoon, Superintend- ent Doran of the board of charities, accompanied by H. w. Atwood of the town store, called upon the Emmons family. who live at Stillman's corner on the Meridan turnpike, Southington, and conducted a thorough investiga- ton of the allegations made by South ingtop parties regarding alleged want in the family From all they could learn, 1t seems that the facts have been Overstated and that such aid as they require will not amount to much.
 Joseph Emmons, his wife and six children, lived i'll Waterbury until about two years ago, when they con cluded to go on farm and purchased a seven room house and fifteen acres of land in Southington for $2,0UO, pay ing S6O0 down. They stocked the place pretty well and when the man was taken sick last fall had five or six head of cattle, two valuable horses, good supply of farming implements and fair crop.
 In the latter part of September ty- phoid fever set in and carried on one of the children. The following month the head of the family died of the same disease and the mother was also taken down with it, but she recovered. This was a severe blow upon the fam ily and when the winter set in they found themselves with the farm on their hands, but no money to buy pro visions with They had potatoes, turnips, some hay, the horses, one cow and a lot of chickens, but in the farming districts such things cannot always be converted into cash, es- pecially by a woman, who has her hands full in the house. and matters got going from bad to worse until H. nally the crisis came. Some of the neighbors took the horses for their keeping and the neighbors helped i'll one way and another so that the fam ily dld not suffer According to law, Southington is obliged to look out TOT the woman and one of the children, both of whom were born in Germany, but the rest of the family were born in this city ana Waterbury will have to see to them. While on the prem ises, Mir Doran succeeded in selling some of the hay to good advantage and this. with a few dollars sent py the neighbors, will keep the wolf from the door for a few days. The woman is thirty-five years old. appears 10 pc honest. thrifty and willing to provlde for herself and family if she can do so. The youngest child is five years old. MT Doran told a Democrat re- porter to-day that the family need little money to help them over the winter. but so far as he could see, that Cyas all. After that he thought that they would be able to take care or themselves.

Yesterday half dozen attachments for as many small claims against Mrs Parsons were released, signifylng that the claimants had had their claims disposed of to their satisfaction. There are still a few depositors who have not accepted Mrs Parsons's offer of settlement and perhaps they may find to their loss that they are now too late to accept It. That is matter for the courts to de- eide. and so far as the case has been tried Mrs Parsons has had the best of the contention.
