preparation made by the council Tor
the public schools Is not sufficient Ia

stated that they are overrun and th1c
the bond issue was the only means OF
meeting the emergency. Subsequently
an arrangement was made for an APP
preparation of $50 900 for the schools
In lieu ~ a bond issue. But the bond
issue is probably one OF the best
means OF meeting the increasing ae-

FIRE IN RINK BUILDING.

Rosenberg Had No Insurance, But the
 Bremen Saved His Stock.
 Box 31, located at the corner of Grand and Bank streets, was pulled shortly before Il o'clock this morning, calling the department to the rink building. where a fierce fire was rag ing in the rear of the tailor stoge of A. Rosenberg. Chief Snagg and his army of fire fighters responded promptly and extinguished the flames before they did any damage to speak of to that magnificent structure. The blaze was started by one of Minors plumbers, who was thawing out q frozen water pipe. The plumber was very much ex- cited, but had presence of mind enough to send in an alarm as quickly as pos sible. The place was full of old papers which ignited from the heat of the pipe and burned like heap of match es. MT Rosenberg had no insurance and he may thank the efficiency of the fire department for saving his stock and keeping him from bankruptcy He told a Democrat reporter that he would have had his property insured. but the companies will not take any risks in that building. The fire was located in
 
 just the right~sp0t to reduce the whole structure to ashes if it had gained a little more headway. The tailor lost nothing to speak of and the building is practically as good as it was before the alarm was sent in. Usually the department is eomplimented when it succeeds in clubbing fire into submis- sion in short order, but 1t didn't seem to be so to-day. many persons in the crowd remarking that the chief ought to be censured for using water on it and that the man who pulled the box should be sent to jail for sixty days. "The rink Is burningr' shouted an ex- cited citizen to a crowd of men as he hurried off down Bank street. sThanlx heavenr' replied a chorus of voices While people talk this way. it is doubt ful if they mean it. There is consld. erable property in that old ramshackle. and if 1t should burn down many poor people would be left penniless. Be sides that. no one can tell how much damage might be done to adjoining property. A big crowd collected about the place and gave Detective Cahey. Sergeant Pagan and Officer Moore all they could do to keep the way clear.

ROGER CoNNoR HELD UP.
rhomaston Sheriff Came in Contact

| ThomaSton Sheriff Came in Contact
 With Several Waterbury People. Among the interesting chapters in connection with the assault made upon Sam Miller, the Hebrew peddler, above Waterville last Sunday after noon, probably nothing created more interest than the hold-up of Roger Connor and his brother Joe, two of the best known ball players i'll New Eng land, who were on their way home from Bristol and had reached a point near Greystone, when Sheriff Iauf- mann of Thomaston and three or four officers stopped them on the road and wanted to know who they were. It is said that Kaufnlann mistook Roger for big Hebrew who had been de- scribed to him as having been seen in the vicinity of the assault, and after throwing the light of his lantern in the faces of the men ill the team, pulled his shooting irons and his com panions followed suit. The Connors hadn't heard anything about the as- sault at the time and concluded that they were up against a gang of rob bers and made up their minds to make the best hand they could of them
 
 It was dark at the time, but with the aid of the light of the lanterns Roger caught q glimpse of Sheriff I<aufmann's sombrero hat, light mus tache and pale face and thinking he was about to shoot Roger sprang out of the team, with Joe at his heels, and things were shaping themselves for ] lively encounter when explanations followed, and then both parties laugh ed at the blunder.
 The smoke of this "battle" had scarcely cleared away when the 'Eho- maston fellows were participants i'll another row. James Phelan and his wife of Charles street came along, and like all others who passed by the place that night, they were brought to halt On this particular occasion there did not appear to be much mis- understanding, for the officers explain ed matters right off and thus avoided a passage at arms. The whole thing was new to Mir and Mrs Phelan, as it was to most people who were collared on the way, and after hearing that murder had been attempted on the street Mrs Phelan refused to go home in the team and made the trip from Wateryille on the cars. Others were stopped. and for a moment or two many of them thought that they had reached the end of their rope and were about to be robbed and probably inur- dered. It is said that the only parties that showed fight were Roger and Joe Connor. who did not propose to hand over their money, as they evidently thought they were going to be request ed to do, without giving the jokers d run for it. Miller was assaulted in the afternoon. and people who left town without hearing of it wondered what was up when they were on their way home in the darkness and found the officers running here and there i'll the hope of getting hold of someone that could give them some information that might lead to the arrest of the :sailty DartieS,
