The dogs were merely passing with their respective masters when they got into the brawl, and in second fur was flying around the square, A crowd of hundred or so had gathered in short time, while policeman or two crushed into the crowd and the greatest excitement pre- vailed. The bulldog got hold of his antagonist by the throat and it was thought it was all up with it, The po- licemen poked their clubs into the bull dogs mouth, men stuck their umbrellas into it the dogs were kicked and kicked, but without avail. Such com motion was never seen on the square. Finally, however, the bulldog let go and the other dog lost no time in get ting away.
 Mir and Mrs F. W. Chesson of South Willow street arrived home Saturday, after a trip to Germany. MT Chesson was about town to-day and looked much improved after the short vaca- tion To a Democrat reporter MT .Chesson said that he was quite pleased 1 with how he was used by the people at Berlin. Everybody whom he met there tried to make things pleasant for him. It is a delightful city, well sup piled with beautiful parks, handsome streets and a great variety of monu- ments and public buildings. The hotels are models of neatness, the prices are reasonable, and all have a certain number of walters who. can speak English. While sitting in one of the hotel offices he formed the ac- quaintance of an American gentleman who was familiar with the strike in Waterbury and wanted to know what was the present status of the trouble MT Chesson and his wife made the trip l without being seasick, a rather un- usual thing for people not accustomed to life on the ocean.
