 Under the proposed plan of reor- ganization of the Connecticut Nation al guard the Second regiment will be increased to twelve companies. 1t now has ten companies. A new ma jor will have to be appointed. The friends of Captain D. E. Fitzpatrick will no doubt boom him for the new office When the last vacancy for major was being filled Captain Fitz- patrick was a candidate and was de-. feated by only one vote.

 Attorney Durant and Judge Peasley made things warm at bar meeting in the city court this morning before Judge Burpee. Attorney Durant rep
 
 against him by the Boston Furniture goods from the plaintiff and paid the entire bill except about $13.. A judg- ment for that amount was given against him by jury in the city court some weeks ago.

 Comstock lodge, No 13, K. of F., 1 started the seasons work last nighi by conferring the rank of page on one 1 candidate before a large gathering of 1 enthusiastic knights. The committee l on the anniversary and roll call Octo- Der. 30 report everything about com l pleted for this gala event. Any mem Der missing this will regret 1t, as it is a sort of old home week on small l scale, a chance to renew old friend ships and form new ones and get in l touch with old comrades who will fore l gather for this event. The joint play committee from Comstock lodge and | Waterbury Go, No 20, report the re l hearsal of sThe Christian" progressing in a favorable manner and everything points to smooth and finished pro- 1 duction of this most exacting of pieces. The enterprise shown by the l above organizations in securing this | monster play for amateur purposes taking the enormous royalties into con I sideration, places these societies in 8 class by themselves in regard to work ing material and business ability, as ii requires both to handle such an enter l prise.
 There is not half as much talk about l town over the result of the city cleo. tion as some people suppose. To bt sure there are many who cannot tall I of anything else, but by far the larger number of citizens think it high time the subject was dropped. A mar whose politics is not generally known
 said to-day that the republicans have everything now and that he helped ge it for them. and that if they didn5
 improve on the work of the men whom
 they are to succeed they will have no body to blame but themselves. Un
 like the retiring mayor, his successor
 will have board of aldermen, a city
 attorney and the heads of the severa
 departments in sympathy with him, st
 that naturally great things are expect
 ed from the Elton administration. Th'
 only thing worrying the republican!
 now is that the democrats will do al
 the republicans did when they were re
 tiring few years ago, fix the appro
 priations below where they ought tt
 be. and in this way spike their gun!
