 Patrick Dunphy of South Wilson street was bitten in the leg yesterday afternoon by a dog which he had been trying to drive away from scrappine with another canine. The cur turned upon Mir Dunphy and sank it's teeth into his flesh twice, infiicting two ugly wounds, which were cauterized by Dr Farrell.
 -The other evening, when MT shee- han was reading the riot act to the de pertinent of public works regarding course of his remarks he said that it was bounded west on Alder street, whereupon one of the members chuckled and replied with subdued smile, Alder street. Then as if recollecting himself, he looked around and noticed a frown upon the faces ot his colleagues, all evidently realizing that there was something wrong there, too. The Alder street job that has created such comnlotion in the pres ent city administration was ordered done last December, but the powers that be have not yet made move to, wards doing the work. The third ward is beginning to find out that 1t misses the presence of the Begnals, Mahaneys, Hendersons, Callans, Walk CTS, Chessons, Clohesseys. Hofigans and others in the afder.nanic chamber. To be sure there is a Callan there at the present time, but he is young man and has not yet reached the point where he cares to stand up like the war horses that preceded him and tell those about him that Brooklyn is q part of Waterbury. Everybody re- members how James Callan made his republican friends sneeze when he protested against the turning of all the dirty water in the reservoirs into that >part Of the town, and concluded by telling them that they might ignore Brooklyn if they wanted to, but Brooklyn would rebel and make itselt felt at critical moment. At that time there was no water in Washing. ton avenue, but when the alderman got home the pressure was so great that he had to commence packing the faucets. The third ward needs a lit tie more attention than it is receiving from the present administration. Mir Sheehan gave the boys quite shock and demonstrated that he would make an ideal alderman
 Considerable fault finding was in dulged in along Bank street to-day about what was termed the neglect of the city government to keep the catch basins and manholes clean and thus do away with the foul smell so no ticeabIe about the streets, especially in the neighborhood of the Bank street bridge A Democrat reporter took the matter in hand and after making some explorations found that all the trouble was not due to the al- legged bad condition of the sewers Tn the Naugatuck river, close to the bridge, he discovered the carcass of very large cat in q frightful state of decomposition and the odor that arose from it was so offensive one would have to be afflicted with bad casa of chronic catarrh to live within sey. eral blocks and not smell it. It was pointed out to few youngsters wllo were amusing themselves in the water and they pushed it out into the stream and the mess went down the river to sweeten the water for the army of knights of the road that make their headquarters further doWl People in this vicinity will not worry about that provided the absence of the dead mouser relieves them of the unbearable smell If it continues they should call upon the superintendent of the sewer department, and they can help remove little of 1t themselves, too, by refraining from making the basins receptacles for dead rats, cats, small dogs, decayed meats and other things in that line, which too many think nothing of slipping into the sewer basins, thus causing untold mis- ery to the men who clean them as we'll us making things unpleasant for everybody in the neighborhood.
