POLICE JUDGE ARRESTED.
One of Those Recently Elected
 in Brooklyn.

The Old Judges Are Going to Contest
 the Rights of the New Ones-Hence
 the Arrest of Magistrate Durack
 This Morning Purpose of Arrest is
 to Bring Affair Before the Courts
 and Get a Decision.
 New York, Jan 4.-Magistrate Du- rack, one of the newly elected police judges in Brooklyn, was arrested to- day when he attempted to take his seat ill the Adams street police court, by order of Magistrate Dooley, the old magistrate.
 He was ararigned before Magistrate Dooley and paroled. He was charged with violating section 56 of the penal code, pertaining to trespass and in- truding. This action is the result of a recent decision by Justice Marean in the supreme court in a suit brought by the old magistrates to restrain the newly elected magistrates from taking office. The present incumbents claim that this decision practically gives them title to office and they prepared at once to resist any attempt that might be made by the magistrates to take possession of the courts. Three of the old magistrates, with special off, cers, remained all night in their court rems to thwart any attempt to gain possession on the part of their op- ponents. Two of the old magistrates, who were slow in acting, however, were caught mapping by their rivals, and found the latter in possession when they went to their courts last night.
 The plaintiffs contended that the election of the defendants was void, one ground being that the charter was unconstitutional in the section pro- yiding for the appointment of magls- trates. Justice Marean's decision up- held the contention of the plaintiffs that the law under which the defend ants were elected is unconstitutional.
 The purpose of to-day's arrest is to bring the matter before higher court for settlement.

ARCHITECT ). H. MELOY.
Expired Suddenly While on a
 Visit to Bridgeport.

Was One of Waterbury's Oldest and Best Known Citizens Superintended the Erection of Some of the Oldest Buildings in Town-He Had Retired
 From Active Life Some Time Ago
 and Was Enjoying the Fruits of His
 Labor.
 D. H. Meloy, one of Waterbury's pioneer architects, was found dead in bed this morning at the home of his son in Bridgeport, where he went yes terday on a short visit. Mir Meloy and his wife lived on Linden street and yesterday the old gentleman, accom- panied one of his sons. who lives in Chicago and came home to spend Christmas with his parents, to Bridge port to see his other son. He appeared to be in good health for one of his years and retired last night in good spirits. and that was the last heard of him until this morning. when he was found dead i'll bed. Death was due to heart failure. Ar Meloy always had presentment that he never would be sick for any great length of time and said that when death came to him he Knew it would carry him off quickly. lie was well known in Waterbury and commanded the respect and esteem of wide circle of friends and acquaint- ances.
 David Humphrey Meloy, son of Mer- rltt and Catharine (Platt Meloy, was i born in West Haven, January 22. 1926. lie received his early education in his native town and studied architactpre with Sidney M. Stone of New Haven. He lived for time in New Haven. fol lowing the trade of a builder. He came to Waterbury in 1S47. and was one of the workmen engaged in the building of St Johns church in chat year. He afterward went into busi- ness on his own account as a ,.ontrac- tor, and employed in some instances d hundred men at once. In November, 1862, he enlisted in the Twenty third regiment of Connecticut volunteers for the war for the union, and filled out his nine months term of service Tn l11S7S, or thereabout, he discontinued the building business and from that time forward confined himself to architac- ture. Mir Meloy, drawing upon q practical experience of nearly half a century, compiled and published in 1890 an illustrated work entitled, Progressive Carpentry" which has come into extensive use among build- CTS and joiners.
 On January p, 1S49, he married Sarah Preston, daughter of Leman sherman of Woodbury. They have had three children, a daughter who l died in childhood, and two sons, Ed ward Sherman and Arthur Sherman, both of whom are architects.
 For years he was located in the up per story of the building on the corner of Exchange place and West Main street, where his antique sign still greets the public, bearing the modest l words in raised letters, ID. H. Meloy, Arhcitect." The sign probably is one of the oldest in town and has watched Waterbury grow from nothing more than an ordinary country village to q city of over 50,0O0 inhabitants, with q commercial record hardly equalled by any place of its size in the country. Like it's owner, it is one of the old landmarks of the town, and like him. too. it will soon be but a memory.

CIGARS FROM MANILA.
Old Member of Co A Sends a Box to
 Colonel Burpee.

A. c. Arnold, formerly a member or Company A, c. N. G., is climbing the ladder of promotion with the army in the Philippines. To-day Colonel Bur pee received a few boxes of cigars from Arnold as New Years gift. When the war with Spain broke out and Arnold had satisfied himself that Company A was not to have whack at the glory that was going around, he enlisted in the first volunteers to get in the fun. From that regiment he went to the Eighth infantry, which has seen considerable service about Manila. Arnold did a thing or two which re- -ceived some mention in the army bull letins. He thought he deserved more than this and wrote Colonel Burpee to assist him to something better. Col onel Burpee was never known to go back on an army man or anything per taining to the welfare of the army. so he used his influence with General .'Joe' Hawley and other men of dis tinction in affairs in congress and as q result Arnold was promoted to second lieutenant. Besides the few boxes of cirgars, Lieutenant Arnold sent the colonel a graphic letter about actual life in the army in the Philippines.

A GOOD SHOWING.
Father Karam of the Italian Church
 to Build New Church.

to Build New Church.
 The annual financial statement of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes is as follows: The total receipts, Svhlch amounted to $3.090.44, were derived from the following sources: Offertory collections, $75S00; door or seat mon- ey. S502.01; collections at evening ser vices. $33741; monthly collections, S3l6.41: sacred entertainments, $2S2.4 peoples festivals. $274.00; parish fes- tiyals, $170.S5; donations, $155.O0; pious fraternities, $123.O0; mission and holy week offerings, $SS.74; Christmas day offerings to Infant Jesus, S43.05; private offerings for various things, $39.46. The expenditures amounted to $3,09044. The principal items of expenditure were the following: $2,000 paid on the mortgage: interest on mortgage, $34O. 50. church furniture, $202.4G repairs, $1S9.S5. Tn looking over the list of expenditures one sees nothing written about the pastors and sexton's salaries. With the payment of $2,000 on the mortgage on the church property, the debt on the church property is left at $4,500. The original debt was $11,0 ,000. This is a remarkable showing for the pastor, Rev Father Karam. and well mayJ he feel proud of his efforts. for they have been most successful. During the coming year Rev Father Karam in- tends to have new church erected on the site of the present church which is by far too small to accommodate all the Italian Catholics. During the year there were 197 baptisms and 20 marriages; 225 people were confirmed and 42 persons died, 12 of whom were adults and 30 were children.

FOUND A BROTHER.
Children Separated in Infancy Had q
 Meeting This Week.

AiAuiO Oi soCpuIdleu III luIducV Had a
 Meeting This Week.
 The new year had a most delightful gift i'll store for the Misses Susie Dougherty and Julia Connolly of Rail- road Hill street. The New Years gift was in the nature of news concerning their brother Thomas, from whom or concerning whom they had not heard for about twenty years. The parents of the above young people died when their children were only a few years of age. Thomas was about one year old. The children were soon separ- ated. Several were adopted into diff ferent families. Thomas adopted father died when Thomas was fous years of age. The little boy was then placed i'll an institution for chil- dren near Stamford. There he re mained for several years when he was adopted by q farmer named Comford, whose name he now bears. With him he stayed for long time, but was fi- nally taken away from him because the farmer abused him, so it is said. He was taken back to the institution where he remained until about three years ago. For the past three years he has been employed by Dr Rogers of Stamford. His sisters have long been anxious to find out where their brother was living. They at length received word that he was living iu Stamford. They made inquiries i'll this direction with the above result To say that they are happy is speak ing mildly.

And Lord Rosebery's Future Will Be

 missal from the Army Will be One
 of the Subjects That Will Receive
 Attention Kitchener Says 100 Boers
 Have Been Captured the Past Week.
 London Jan 4.-When King Edward opens parliament January It, when will be an occasion of even greater pomp and ceremony than was his last appearance in the house of lords, one of the most interesting sessions or re- cent years will be commenced. Before its conclusion the whole status of the liberal party is likely to be altered anu Lord Rosebery's future determlned. Present indications point to splt which no middle-road announcements can heal and in which Sir Edward Grey. H. H. Asquith, Sir H. Il. Tow Ter, R. w. Perks, R. B. Haldane ana other imperialists, together with feW unionists, will flock to Lord Rosebery standard and initiate an organization with the hope of securing control or all the liberal elements prior to the next general election. Temporarily this diversion of the opposition Will greatly facilitate the government pro- gram, the chief item of which is a sweeping reform of parliamentary pro- cedure The hopeless delay and con fusion which at present characterlzes all legislative efforts at Westminster have reached point where parliament has become ridiculous i'll the eyes of the country. In the drastic re-casting. of the procedure many methods em- ployed by the United States congress will either be adopted or given trial in modified form.
 Among other important features of the session will be a thorough inyesti- gation of General Buffers dismissal from the army. This, doubtless, will once more involve the nation in a whirlpool of bitter controversy.
 Education and finance are two ror- tine matters which will occupy more than usual interest.
 The chancellor of the exchequer. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, will doubtless get all the additional war supplies he requires, though special measures will be necessary to raise them, and this will give Sir Henry Campbell Banner mans section of the opposition full opportunity for criticizing the govern ment's policy in South Africa.
 Some sanguine prophets also believe the war will be sufficiently near it's end to enable the government to put before the nation, during the session, detailed plans for the settlement of South Al rica. This belief, however, does not appear to be shared by the war office.
