NOTHING TO RoAsr op

London, Oct. 1S-The report of IF. A Walker, the expert sent by the London ana Northwestern Railroad to America m order to investigate railroad condi- tIons there, has been published MT walker sums up as follows:
 It will be seen from the figures be- lore you that the American companies nave nothing to boast of in the safety either of their passengers or employees. on the contrary, human life seems to be considered of much less importance there than here. and am of the opin- 1cn that in this respect the British railway officials have nothing what ever to learn from their American con freres-''
 Mir Walker gives figures showing that twice as many passengers are carried on the United Kingdom lines as on the American, though the latter have nine times greater mileage, while American figures show a much larger proportion of accidents and ia alities to passengers and employees.
 The large number of accidents at crossings receives considerable men ton. MT Walker attributes the larger proportion of accidents in America to the "almost general absence of block working, and to the fact that the per- lnanent way is neither laid nor main tafned in the efficient manner usually adopted by the British railways" He says that in the generality of cases there is no protection at all at the level crossings.

ALDERMEN's DUTY.
,o See That Public is Protected
 Against Short Wood Measures.

TO See That Public is Protected
 Against Short Wood Measures.
 Regarding the alleged deception in the sale of wood and the duty If the sealer of weights and measures, it is the duty of the aldermen to sec tha- the public is protected. The law on the matter is as follows. Section 1891 says:
 sThe selectmen of each town may appoint annually. and oftener, if ne- cessary. two or more of it's inhabitants to be measurers of wood. offered for sale within the said town, who shall be duly sworn and receive such com pensation for their services as the town may prescribe; and any of them, on the request of the owner of any wood so offered for sale, shall, without delay, measure it and sign and give him certificate of the quantity"
 Under the'city charter this duty has been taken from the board of select men and given to the board of alder men, as many other duties have been. so that it is 'up" to the board of al- dermen to immediately adjust the diff ficulty and see that the public are pro- tected. There is no question as to the nefarlOuS transactions in wood since the coal situation became a hardship i'll this community, and it would not be amiss if the sealer of weights and measures took the duties of his office to some of the coal yards and superin- tended the weighing of purchases of coal. At all events, as the price of coal is beyond the reach of the aver age citizen to-day and the price of wood just merely within it. the board of aldermen should lose no time in taking measures to guarantee protec- tion to the people. This is the opinion of everybody who has given the matter any consideration. Some lawyers go so far as to say that City Attorney I Kellogg would be merely doing his duty if he so advised the board of al- ldermen.

BUILDING IN WATERBURY.
Passway From Grand Street to Harri-
 son Avenue Would be Appreciated.


 Work is progressing favorably on tne new buildings on Bank and South Maln streets, and if the weather holds out good for few weeks more most of them. will be covered in so that the work can go on rain or shine. When the buildings are completed and occll- pied the burned district will look far better than ever, the new structures being far more imposing than the old ones. Things have commenced to move on Grand street, too. Everything is ready for operations on George G. Judd's proposed block on the site where the Lapalme- Hoffman company conducted their store. When the block is finished the same firm will return to the old stand and will occupy the entire building from the cellar to the attic
 Many think an effort should be made to open to public travel the twenty foot passway in the rear of the buildings on the west side of Bank street from Grand street to Harrison avenue. After the postoffice is located on Grand street and new block erected on the rink site travel on Bank street will be considerably increased and the only way of relieving it is to open the passway and let the public use it. The amount of travel that would go over that street from Grand street to Center street would be great help to Bank street from Ex- change place to Grand street, and as it is now open with the exception of short strip in the rear of the Water bury bank property it might not be bad plan to see what can be done to- wards putting it through. Of course the city would not be likely to have anything to do with it, but it seems that the owners of the property along the passway would want it opened. Tn it's present condition it is generally unsightly and not always in d sanitary. condition. This would be changed 1T it were opened clear through.

STRIKE AT ROGERS.
Men Say They Are Asking for Old
 Wages, Not for Increase.

To all appearances the strike at Rogers & Bros is settled, but it looks as ii there were some matters connect ed with it which will have to be ad- juSted before everything can be sad to be working smoothly. One of the men who has not returned to work had the following to say on the subject this afternoon: Our position is as follows: We are not looking for all increase i'll wages, but for return of the prices we had when we worked for the coms pany. The jumbo room was started a year and half ago. Al that time and for some weeks after timers got 40 cents q gross for what work they did and bobbers 95 cents. Things were going along all right until John Tobin contracted to do the work and i'm mediately cut timers to 34 cents gross and bobbers to so cents. All we are asking for now is return of the prices we had before MT Tobin took the contract. You might inquire why we did not go on strike when the cut was made. Well, I'll tell you We had no union and we thought the best thing we could do was to wait until we were in a position to make a fight for our rights. IT you want to investi- gate that further go to anybody in the office and find out what we were paid before the contract business was intro duced If Mr Tobin was boss instead of contractor there would be no strike in the jumbo room. He is making a big thing out of us and I don't think it is fair that we should be compelled to work harder than ever and receive less while the contractor is making more right along. We have nothing to say against MT Tobin as a foreman. but as a contractor feel that he can rightful- ly be charged with bringing on this strike. About twenty men went back. but the rest are out and they intend to remain away until they get something like iustice.'

New Haven, Oct 1S.-S. F. ThrasEer, secretary of the State Law and Order league, gave out an open letter to-day in reference to tie proposed match between Young Corbett and Austin Rice at Waterbury. It is IS follows.
 To the Citizens of Waterbury:--I know run the risk of being called '.otficious'' and ''meddlesome' if con if1iue to call attention to the moral show which is booked for Waterbury November 6.

I cannot do better than quote from the reports which appear in varied form in the daily press:

BLUE BOOK ISSUED.

London, Oct 1S-A blue book has been issued containing detailed re- port of the officers appointed by the commander in chief of the army to in- quire into the working of the re- mount department. The report speaks generally favorably of the arrange ments of the department and of the class of animals purchased.
 Dealing with the case of Captain Smith, who was attached to the pur- chasing commission at New Orleans, the report finds that Captain Smith received a commission on every animal he purchased, that many of the mules bought by him were absolutely unfit and useless and that he was guilty of malpractice and brought the greatest discredft upon the department.
 The report also finds that Captain E. R. Mandslay and Veterinary Sur geon Hawes behaved with extreme i'm propriety in purchasing for their own use and shipping to England hors es brought up for inspection as re- mounts and which actually had been branded.
 The report says regarding American mules: "In our opinion nothing aD- breaches them except the gun mules of the mountain batteries in India. We do not see fault to find with them as class''
 Of the horses the officers say: Judging them as a class. we think them the very best type for mounted infantry horses. With time and training the American horse would out to be the ideal horse for mounted infantry, or to carry light cavalry, without equipment"
 The report considers that the deaI- CTS at first made undue profits, but this was not so in the later stages. It further says the officers can conceive the possibility of Chicago becoming very valuable center for re-mounts.
 Dealing with Canada, the report says the Dominion does not appear to be able to furnish a very large num- ber of horses and that the supply is not likely to increase unless breeding is stimulated by a steady, permanent demand for army horses. and unless suitably selected stallions are intro duced.

DAvEY PAID UP.
Collector Thoms Getting After
 Delinquent Tax Payers
IS BOUND TO BRING THEM IN

Richard Davey and Albert Leopold
 Were the Men Brought in To-day
 Davey Vowed He Would Rest in
 Jail Before He Would Pay a Cent
 When He Caught Sight of the Cell
 Door He Softened and Paid Up-
 Leopold Refuses to Pay, But Was
 -.eleassd Under Bonds
 Richard Dayey of Round Hill, over whom has been hanging the shadow oT the JaIl Tor the past week for Iall- ing to pay hls takes, was to-day af- rested by Constable John Barrie. MT DaVey's taxes amounted to about SzO and he saIu ne would see hlmself i'll jail hrst before he would pay. This Is the first arrest for mailing 10 pay taxes that mas been made ill this ely within the memory Of those who keep informed on pubic affairs. Close upon the heels of the arrest of MT DaVey, Albert Leopold, an agent for the Amer ican Wringer Go. living at 89 Park ave- nue, was also arrested for taxes amounting to less than $1O. So that MT Leopold mas the honor of being the second man suffering arrest for what he considered unjust taxation. MT DaYey's arrest took place this morn in gearly, it being the intention of the officer to give him plenty of time to reconsider. But Mir DaVey said he would not reconsider. He would starye in jail first then he would live on bread and water in solitary confinement for ever and ever before he would pay. But When Constable Barrie took him to the court house and marched him down the stairs where the unholy and unelect are kept, and he saw the huge keys of the prison cells glisten in the pale light. he did reconsider and he paid his bill.
 MT Davey claimed he was exempt from taxation on the ground that he had been abso1ved from his financial obligations by the bankrupts' court. This was misunderstanding upon his part, for the powers of the bankrupts' court do not exempt an insolvent debtor from taxation. Everything goes but that.
 Mir Leopold had no excuse for his re- fusal to pay only the natural one that he was charged too much and he, like Davey, would suffer untold tortures in durance vile rather than pay what he considered unjust. His friends went to his rescue and saved him the bangs of his rash judgment. H. B. Loucks furnished bail for him and the next heard of the case will be in the city ocurt

pretty bad ito the ordinary spectator. Many of the crowd thought him as good as whipped when the blood was flowing, but blood cuts very little ice with man like Corbett."
 ''In the third round Bernstein whip ped over his left and caught Corbett just over the left eye, which started the claret coursing down the cham Eson's face Ill the fourth round Bernstein landed on Corbetts right check bone and the blood trickled down that side of the Denver lads face"
 Bernstein announced from his cor ner that helcould not continue the fight as his hand was broken
 Throughout the battle the blood flowed freely
 It must be apparent that I have had distorted ideas regarding the proposed exhibition I don't see what | could have been thinking of to have called it prize fight.' My con- science troubles me-
 Would it not be we'll for the city government to issue free tickets to the rising youth of Waterbury? Perhaps the I. M. c. A.. could get special terms for its members. What better opportunity can there be to promote nanliness than this!

Formerly Rome was deserted during these months and the hotels were closed because of the belief that the heat was unbearable and on account of the malignity of the malaria.
