Sad Death From Tetnnus.

ITHACA, N. Y, July 14-Harry H. Bishop, thirteen years of age, died here of lockjaw, caused by slight injury sustained by him on the Fourth of July. On that day the boy was toying with a revolver when blank cartridge in it prematurely exploded, wounding him on the tip of one of his fingers, but so slight was the injury that no physician was summoned to attend him. The first symptoms of tetanus appeared in weeks time, and from that until his death terrible convulsions followed one another in rapid success sion. The doctors pronounced it the worst case of tetanus they had ever seen.

Registrar Flanagan Receives Communi-
 cation from City Attorney.
 John H. Flanagan, democratic regis trar of voters, is in receipt of a com munication from City Attorney Kellogg which will interest people who want to be enlightened regarding local pri- maries. It is as follows:
 Waterbury, July 13, 1903. MT John H. Flanagan, Registrar of
 Voters, ITO South Main Street, City:
 Dear Sir: I regret exceedingly that have failed to reply to you before this to your request for an opinion as to the necessity of an elector register ing every year in order to take part in caucuses and primaries.
 The law as it was originally passed in 1901 would require the making of new list in each year and would also require every elector to register in each year in order to take part in the pri, maries of that year, but in making up the revision of the general statutes, talk ing effect on July 1 1902, but adopted by the same general assembly which in 1901 passed the original law, there was an addition made to the law as fol lows: Unless application for erasure or transfer is made they shall continue thereon the names of all qualified cleo tors appearing upon the lists last per fected." ..
 The law, therefore, as it now stands. requires the registrars to continue such names as would appear upon the list last perfected. As I am informed and understand. the list made out in Feb ruary of this year did not continue the names on the list as prepared in Au- gust, 1902 It therefore, in my judg- ment. is not a perfected list. and 1t is the duty of the registrars to continue in August of this year the list of all those appearing upon the list of Au- gust, 1902 unless application for eras- ure or. transfer is made to the regis trars.
 Respectfully. ......-.

The entire police force was on duty, and the troops were confined to bar racks so as to be ready in case of emer-. gency. At Rostrevor, County Down, there are 1,7OO police and soldiers in the town and vicinity, which gives the place the appearance of being insa state of siege. The procession on returning from the demonstration here was at tackled by Nationalists, and a serious riot ensued.

KENNEDY MIGHT SETTLE IT
Thoroughly Acquainted With Issues
 and Does Not Lean Either Way.

and Does Not Lean Either Way.
 The trolley strikers have another aron in the fire to effect a settlement with their former employer, the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Go. This new iron is Attorney Kennedy of lNaugatuck, of whom mention was made in the Democrat last week oy friends of both parties to the contro- versy as one that could easily effect settlement, provided he had full au- thority in the matter.
 IA few days ago MT Kennedy was asked if he would act as mediator were he invited to do so and he re- piled that. he could not tell what he would do until he had been asked.
 It is safe to state under the present circumstances that MT Kennedy will not take part in the controversy unless full and complete confidence is re- posed in him. It is taken for granted that he is fully competent to act, that he is thoroughly acquainted with the issues involved. and on that ground it is said that he will not lift finger un- less he is entrusted with full authori- ty.
 The trouble in this respect hereto fore has been that each party who tried to effect settlement acted mere ly as a committee who had no further authority than to report to the men how the land lay on the other side, and they accepted or rejected the report, MT Kennedy will not take any such part in the matter. Unless the men will abide by whatever decision he may arrive at he will have nothing to do with it. They know him and it is taken for granted that he knows them an a general way, and some of them personally. That he would act fairly there is no question. his competency is acknowledged, and therefore there is no reason why the strikers should not repose in him full authority to act for them. .
 He knows the staying powers of both sides and that he is competent to say which will fight the longest and the best is admitted. If the strikers will put their cause in his hands the strike will come to manly conclusion as far as they are concerned and the in- terests of the company will not suffer, either.

Old Founders Appeared Before Judge
 Peasley This Morning.
 Judge Peasley's patience was on trial at this mornings session of the city court. Cases were heard that would try the patience of an editor. John McGowan was picked up by Of ficer Keegan behind the "red house" on Abbott avenue last night. He was fined $5 and costs. McGowan is an old rounder.
 Frank Stone, another old roundcr, holding probobly the longest police court record in the city, was charged with vagrancy. His sister said he has neither home, work, visible or tn- visible means of support, no place to live, no place to go. How he exists she did not know. Sixty days in Brookside was his sentence.
 Luigi Cadona was charged with as- saulting a woman on Canal street. It seemed the trouble arose over a piece of wood, but it took long time tQ get at this little information which was given through an interpreter. Cadona was given the lightest fine that has been imposed in some years, $1 and costs. .,a
 Intoxication and assault were added to John Blades record. Blade lives on East Main street. He. was arrested by Officer Brickel upon his mothers com plaint, but she was reluctant to testify this morning The officer stated that she had told him there were ructions at the house. Blade looked as though he had been just aroused from seven years snooze. He was given sixty days in jail.
 Joseph Smith, knife maker living at Reynolds Bridge, was on his way to Keeport, N. J., and dropped off here yesterday and got drunk. He was charged with intoxication and disor- derly conduct on the green last night. He said he was very sorry. That did not save him, however, and he was fined and costs on each complaint.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.
Woman Evicted Who Boarded Strike
 Breakers

Breakers
 The strikers executive committee is sued the following statement this after noon:
 ''The 18th day of our strike finds woman who has been harboring strike breakers in a bad predicament. She has been living on Field street, but to- day her household effects were in the street. The proprietor of the building discovered what she was doing and or dered her out She was unable to find new rent up to the time this was written, and was also unable to get q furniture van to move her goods. And yet some say that there is no strike on.
 We hear that the merchants are complaining of small trade on account of people refusing to use the cars. We also hear that they are talking some Of keeping open three or four nights a week to see if they cannot even things up. The clerks will be dis pleased if such a move is made, but many will have little sympathy for some of the members of the clerks union who have been and are now rid ing on the cars. When the. clerks started out for less night work they were Loyalty supported by all union people, our union among them. and they won what they went looking for. They seem to have forgotten all about. this. however, that is some of them, and for that reason will not be con- doled with very much if they get put back to their old stations
 We have been informed of another one of those triaing, little accidents which occur so frequently of late. About 5:52 last evening man tumble off a car on South Main street, near Grand street, and rolled over and over In the street Did the conductor stop the car, take the mans name, the names of the passengers and make a report? No. It does not seem to be necessary to do such things now. The conductor was our late friend Deserter Jay Wood
 "A west end restaurant which de- pended upon the strike breakers for support was closed up Saturday by a constable. who. we are told, attached 1t for a meat bill. What in the world Is the matter? Can it he possible that with all the money those chaps are making (and taking) they could not SUD- port that little chop house?
 ''The company is evidently a trifie short of help, for this noon the assist ant superintendent was seen acting as motorman on the South Main street line"

KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD.
Many of Them at Old Camp Ground
 Near South Brooklyn.

1NedT GOuLu DrOOklyu.
 The knights of the road must be holding convention in Waterbury this week. The town is full of them and how all of them manage to find some thing to eat and enough drink is a mys- tery Their headquarters is at the old stand in the brushwood close to the banks of the Naugatuck river any where between South Brooklyn and Platts Mills. So far none of them has done anything that one who believes tramps has a right to live would con- sider crime, but judging from the appearance of half a dozen jokers who strolled into the center yesterday 1t would be we'll for people to lock their doors on retiring. An honorable wan dering Willie does not like to steal, but we all know what hunger will force q man to, so that no matter how we'll behaved the knight of the road tries to behave, he is apt to come short of would be unreasonable to expect that he would not help himself to anything he could get hold of. Some people tell you that it is not right to give the nomad food or shelter, but there Is a question about this and without stop ping to discuss it, one cannot leave himself open to much criticism by say ing that family who has something to spare had better give it to a hungry man than throw it into the swill bar rel and have it converted into ashes at the crendtory in Waterville. It is hard to tell whether the fellow who calls at your back door and begs a .'bite to eat'' is deserving of it or not and in order to be on the safe side it is we'll to answer the appeal with q aind word, anyway, if nothing more substantial.
