POLICE COURT DoINGs
To Furnish Bond to Give $9 Week
 or Go to Jail

Charles Connor of Railroad Hill street was the only one whose conduct yesterday demanded the attention of g. judge in the city court to-day. Con- nor was charged with breach of the peace and non-support of his wife and five children. He is employed by the kalbfieisch Chemical Go in South Brooklyn and earns SIP week when he works steadily. Mrs Connor can tell her own story better than anyone else. We have five children said she to Judge Peasley, "and yesterday after noon, when he came home (meaning her husband) he put us all out of doors. He first had me go for beer for him. don't mind doing it once or twice but as this has been going on for years I can't stand it any longer"
 But you went for the beer" put in Prosecutor Durant.
 Yes, I went for the beer,' repeated Mrs Connor, "and I went again, and when l came back the second time the door was closed and the children locked out. He would not let us in, though l pounded hard on the door; so there was nothing for me to do but to go to the neighbors or perish on the streets. This has been going on for years. He works onC "CCh diIu StdyS uOIuC Cue ucAl week and drinks whatever money there Is in the house. He won't go outside the door even, but I must go for beeI for him. He never gives me all of his wages. and what he does give he takes back for drink
 A Mrs Daily, neighbor, corroboratet this story. Officer J. Mccarthy sai6 the case was reported to him about o'clock and he had a hard time gettins 1 into the house.
 Connor said he had nothing to say for himself, and Judge Peasley found him guilty on both complaints. Or
 the charge of breach of the peace h, 1 was fined $5 and costs, and for tn, charge of non-support he was sentenced
 to sixty days in jail or furnish bono
 of $2oo to give his wife $9 week fol l six months.

 ing of One on South Main Street.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 If you will kindly grant me sufficient space in your paper 1 would like to in sert few thoughts concerning the closing of the Rescue mission. l have been studying over the reason given, namely, the lack of funds. l have asked myself can it be possible in q city of 50,0OO people there are not Christians enough to support one little mission, when nearly POO places where our young men, and women, too, are led to destruction can be handsomely supported. Yes, it is true, and I can- not refrain from saying shame on such Christianity. 1 believe if the Chris tians of Waterbury were what they ought to be we should not only have one mission but ten at least. It is my opinion that if the money spent fight ing boxing exhibitions was uut into the mission it would have been used to great deal better anvantage.. I can not help but think of it. The only place in all this great city where un- fortunate men and women could be helped to better life closed for lack of funds. Christians of Waterbury, are you not conscience smitten to have such report go out? You could do nothing that would pleace the liquor dealers of Benzine corner more than you have done. I have no doubt they sent up shout that made old Benzine corner ring. I think it would be very wise thing to take some of the money the churches are spending in Africa and India and other foreign lands and take care of the needy ones at home. They have souls to save as well as those in the foreign lands. hope the Christian people of Waterbury will wake up. Stir up their consciences and see if they won't only give Us a mission, but money enough to support it. AN ATTENDANT OF THE MISSION

THE CHARTERS CASE.
Labor Men Every where Pleased at
 Turn the Affair Has Taken.

The dropping of the case against Mayor Charters of Ansonia was the topic of conversation among labor men and others in Waterbury last night. This was what had been ex- pected, and of course the labor ele- ment is pleased. This action ends case that has travelled over the con- tinent Tn the heat of a discussion as to whether capital and labor had rights, one above the other, there oc- cured the strike at the Farrel foun- dry in Ansonia, small matter at first, but it afterward developed into nation Ial importance Assured that the strikers meant to do lawless acts, the foundry company swore out an injunc- ltion to prevent them from doing divers things and among them was the non lpicketing order. Judge Gager of the superior court issued this order and his name was in editorial articles in every paper of note in the country. The sociological features of the occurrence were dwelt on at length.
 l Then came the arrest of Charters ct al. There were three men arrested. they being Stephen Charters, Jason Wright and M. F. Driscoll. They were charged with conspiracy.
 On 8 Sunday evening party of the strikers visited church at which colored man named Valentine who had gone to work at the Farrel foun- dry, where the strike was on, was singing in the choir. The strikers in duced Valentine not to continue at work at the foundry.
 1t was alleged that the strikers compelled Valentine to promise not to go to work.
 The largest demonstration in the his tory of the machinists' strike in An sonia occurred on. the night following when it became Known that the three labor leaders had been arrested on bench warrants and were taken by the sheriffs to vacant office on Main street in Ansonia, after the arrest, to wait for the starting of the Il o'clock train for New Haven. Long before train time the streets were crowded with strikers and sympathizers and when the officers led the men out to go to the depot a crowd of several thou sand thronged about them. At the ldepot someone called for cheers, and in response shout after shout went up for the prisoners, mingled with misses flor the sheriffs. :. l AS he boarded the train Charters Idrew from his pocket small Ameri- lean flag and waving it above his head lcried: Here's for a shorter day" This action was received with the greatest excitement which did not sub- side until Che train left the station. I Subsequently the excitement ran so Ihigh and the lines were so clearly drawn between organized labor and those outside that Charters was nonlin- ated and afterwards elected mayor. Then last fall he tried to get the dem- |ocratic nomination for county sheriff. but the tide had turned and he ebbed as he had riden on the flow previously. . The strikers were represented in court by former Senator William Ken nedy of Naugatuck. He had the cases postponed three times because he had other matters to attend to- All of l the accused men were out on bond.
 The civil suit that was brought against the strikers and which con- tained Judge Gager's dictum was ulti- mately withdrawn.
