PROPERTY OWNERS SLOW.
South Leonard Street Residents Did
 Not Lay Walks.

Some time ago property owners of South Leonard street talked in open meeting to the city fathers regarding the condition of things in that street, some of them making no bones of stat ing that the blame rested upon the shoulders of the officials. In order to show them that they were in error the city hastened to get things in read mess for them to lay walks, making the law date September l. So far, it is said, none of the interested parties have complied with the order and it lis not likely that they intend to- N ]. Welton, who owns property in that street, was asked to-day If he intended to lay his walk and replied that he was ready to go ahead as soon as the work reached him. He was surprised to notice that people who live there and want the walks for daily use should be waiting for him to take the initiative and frankly admitted that he was not going to do it. He said he would put down his walk when the parties north of him compiled with the order, but not before, adding that it would be folly for him to make the outlay unless the improvement was made from the termination of the walk to his land.

CALLAGHANS BOND CALLED.
We'll Known Doctor Failed to
 Appear in Court.

A Number of Gases Were Settled-The
 Case of Harry Kershaw for Taking
 Team Without Permission of the
 Owner was Then Called and Occu.
 pied the Courts Attention-Kersh
 Was Found Guilty, But His Attorney Obtained an Arrest. of Judgment.
 The disposition of criminal business began in the district court to-day. The bond in the first case against Dr F. J. Callaghan for practicing medicine without license was called, the doe tor not having appeared in court to stand trial. The bond was $500 and the bondsman Christopher O'Reilley.
 The following cases were disposed of by settlement: Joseph Yankulaun- ias, breach of the peace, $10; John Hurley, one case, violating liquor laws, $2O; Louis Grusky, violating junk laws, S10O; Charles McGowan, resistance to an officer, $20. A case against Michael Callaghan for breach of the peace was continued to the December term, and two cases against Charles V. Bolth for violating liquor laws was settled for $50.
 The only case put on trial was that against Harry KershaW for talking team without leave. Attorney Car mody defended. The evidence was practically similar to that given in the city court some weeks ago. But for the defense there were a number of witnesses. Most of those testified to the good standing of Kersnaw Tn the community, his general reputation and all about him, in that respect It was brought out by the defense that the horse, which belonged to Kershaw's friend, Herbert D. Dayton, was a little lame before the alleged taking without permission. Dayton and Kershaw were fast friends and there seemed to have been an understanding between them Dy which either could take the others team whenever he felt so disposed and It was under this understanding Ker- snaW LOOK the horse. But Dayton tes- tined this particular horse was not in. cluueu Tn the agreement. A great deal oI law was quoted and every effort OH tue part or the defense was counter acteu Dy as strong an effort by the prosecution. The result was thar after uellDeratlng about fifteen minutes the Jury rendered a verdict of guilty. AZ toTney Carmody obtained an arrest of Judgment, after which the iurv was excused until next Tuesday. A sinar- lar feature about the case was that Adam Faber, a member Of inc inrv was adJudged incompetent and incana, DIe some time ago by Judge Benton of NauSaIuck and a conseryatoT was an pointed over him.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

Hon. Carroll ID. Wright Says Dcca-
 Rogue Is n Good Labor Platform. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 23.- Hon. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor statistics, delivered an address before the national convention of em- ployers and employees here last even ing. MT. Wright took as his subject the question, "Is there any solution of the labor problem ?" He said in part:
 "The question is not how to kill or to remove the cause, but to soften the struggle. If any effort has proved fallible, it is the attempt to secure good, pure, individual character of stat utory enactment Laws for the better ment of sanitary conditions have wrought many reforms, but they have not touched the heart of the problem. Sessening the hours Of labor has proved beneficial, but to very limited extent.
 "As for arbitration, while I am favor able to the system in adjusting differ ences between nations or between em- ployers and employees, yet I cannot see in it solution. Arbitration simply means the interference of the public in the relations of the employer and em- ployee. But law has always failed to adjust wages, and it's efforts in that di- rection have done more harm than good.
 "The Decalogue is as good labor platform as any Tn religion we find the highest form of solution yet offered. Next to religion comes constructive ev olution-that evolution which believes in the potency of effort. The economic man is growing into the co-ordinative nan. We are to have a new law of wages, grown out of religious thought. The old struggle was for existence; the new struggle is for wider spirit ual margin. The application of this the labor problem The whole ques- ton must be placed on an altruistic basis Mans average conduct is not better than his character. His treat ment of his fellows is consistent with his sense of justice.
 'Out of this new struggle is growing q new political economy which looks largely to the care and comfort of the men. Religion forecasts the social des- tiny of man. The remedy may effect relief, but not a cure. This position reaches into the coming revival of reli- zion which shall hold in its power the church, industry commerce and the whole social fabric"

ROAD RESUMES TRAFFIC.
Hudson Valley Railway Strike Seems
 to Have Failed.


 to Have Failed.
 SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 23.--While the motormen maintain that their strike is still in force on the Hudson Valley railway, the company is gradu- ally resuming its regular passenger service, which was interrupted for over three weeks. Cars are being moved on two of the trolley divisions in Sarato- ga, Warren and Washington counties, and the fusl schedule has been in a measure restored on the third section of the 100 mile system.
 Waterford, for several days the storm center of mob violence, is now com paratively quiet. Stationed there is Captain John K Walbridge and thirty men of Company l. of Saratoga. They acted as guard to the cars sent to Me chaniscville and Saltwater. There were no riotous acts as the cars and troops passed through the several towns. Sev- eral cars were run on the Saratoga di- vision, and there were no incidents of sensational character. Between Fort Edward and Glens Falls, the northern terminus of the line, regular trips were made during the daylight hours, and there was large increase in the pas senger traffic. All the cars on the sys- tenn were accompanied by national guardsmen.
 At Fort Edward and Sandy Hill, where Company I of Whitehall is sta- tioned, there was no trouble. The strik- CTS still declare they will win.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Mayor Kilduhf Convinced That Voting
 Machines Are Money Savers.

The board of public works held a short session last night and adopted the report of the committee appointed to look after sites for locations for booths at the town election The ac- tion taken will be found in the report of the board of aldermen, printed else where in this issue of the Democrat. Mayor Kilduff, the committee appoint ed to inquire into the advisability of securing voting machines for use in this city, reported that he had looked into the matter and was convinced from what he had learned that the ma- chimes would be money savers for Waterbury. He made trip to Hart ford to see how they worked there and was informed that they gave excel lent satisfaction i'm the two wards where they had been tried. A pecul- far thing about the use of the machines in. Hartford was that district com posed largely of working people oper- ated the voting machine to better ad- vintage than those of one made up largely of business and professional men. The mayor thought this was due to the fact that electors of the dis trict where mistakes occurred did not take pains to familiarize themselves with the machine in advance He said it would require seventeen ma chimes to accommodate Waterbury and have one always in reserve. They cost $500 apiece, which would make the expense $S,5O0 It costs about $p,o00 or $2,500 a year for election pur- poses and the mayor thought if the city can borrow money at three and N half per cent it would pay to get it and secure voting machines and conduct it's elections on an up to date plan. He said he expects a representative of firm that makes voting machines to call upon him any day from now on and that after he meets the agent he will be able to give further particu- lars
