Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-07-23

Waterbury was visited by another rainstorm last night, but owing to the absence Of thunder and lightning peo pie who retired early knew nothing about it until this morning.
 An excellent crop of potatoes is looked for this year. Already several owners of gardens have commenced digging them and they say they are the best they have ever raised.
 As Mrs James Ward, who lives on the third floor of the house at 789 North Main street, was starting to prepare the meals for dinner to-day the oil stove exploded. An alarm of fire was rung in from box 9 but when the fremen arrived the burning oil stove had been carried out into the yard by an iceman. There was little damage. 1t was said that Mrs Ward was badly burned about the arms and face, but later it was stated that she had only fainted from the excitement incident to the explosion.

sNlPE ESCAPE GILBERT.
So Does Jack Johnson by Small Ma
jority.

J. w. tombstone returned from across
the river yesterday and tells a some
what lurid tale Of the experiences of
Alex Gilbert, who is trailing elusive
snipe on the other side.
Gilbert didn't get any snipe. but he
nearly bagged tombstone. and incident
ally made complete wreck Of his face
and hands. Things happened so fast
that Johnstone is not quite clear as
to details, but 1t seems Alex Gilbert
has a Smith shotgun Of which he is
extremely proud, but the weapon took
the law in its own hands and every
time Gilbert pulled one trigger both
barrels were fired. Johnstone would
dodge one barrel and the snipe would
get away from the other and the double
recoil would jar loose another section
of Gilbert's face, and wrench a joint
in another trigger finger.
The snipe census remains just as 1t
was, but the sale of arnica and
bandages has given the market boost
that will make paying overdue notes
for the druggists as easy as cutting an
overripe apple with a razor.
Johnstone says Gilbert's high priced
gun rs thrown on the market If he
hasn't thrown it into the bay.

GEMS FOR OLD RuBsERs.
Stranger Gets Wagon Load Of csstoff
Goloshes From School Children.

Orange, n. j. Dec. "A slick
stranger visited East Orange today and
did rushing business with the school
children in the Elmyood district OF the
city. to whom he appeared to be a
veritable Aladdin Of the fairy tale. Old
rubbers were his speciality. At re-
cess time he unfolied his plan to a
crowd of wondering children. For old
rubbers. rubber boots and rubber goods
he would give jewels in exchange.
This appealed to the youngsters, few
of whom ate anything at luncheon
hour, but put in their time resurrecting
rubbers and rubber articles from obse-
cure closets in their respective homes.
The next rainy day which falls on
East Orange will probably bring dis
aster to many a luckless Elmwood
youngster who hypothecated his
fathers goloshes for a handful Of
glass diamonds. A fine collection was
brought to the man at l o'clock. He
had a wagon, and as fast as the rubber
was handed in to him gave out to the
children cheap brilliants set in mar
vellously heavy rings. The satisfac-
ton was mutual, and Elmwood school
sparkled this afternoon like the horse
shoe at the Metropolitan opera house
at an evening performance.
The man who was collecting the rub
ber said he had secured wagon load
from the Vailsburg school children. He
is making tour OF the section, and de-
clares that the business is profitable.

Proposition 10 be Submitted TO
Legislature for Special Tax.
CITIZENS WILL COOPERATE
Proposition to Levy a Swal Tax Run.
ming Through a Series OF Years
TO Build a Sea Wall.

Several efforts have been made by
the progressive citizens OF Astoria for
the construction of sea wall The im-
lportanec of a sea wall and its attendant
benefits to the hill property is general
ly conceded. but all efforts for accom-
plishing the desired results have never
matured. That n sea wall win he of
incalcuable benefit to the city. no one
denies.
In fact. nature has ordained that a
sea wall would be Of incalculable benefit
to owners Of property on the hills SUR
rounding Astoria,
! A proposition is herewith submitted
by the Astorian which prominent prop
erty owners who have been interviewed
on the subject, admit is entirely FEAST
BILE and will accomplish the desired re-
suits. To build a sea wall In front Of
Astoria will entail the expenditure Of
at least s250.000. The city cannot af-
ford to incur the Indebtedness by In
curing additional liabilities, or the Is
suance OF bonds The plan suggested
Is, that our representatives In the legis-
lature introduce bill. or as an amend
ment to the charter. authorizing the
common council to levy a tax Of. say
mills year. running through n SER
les OF years. for the purpose OF build
ing a sea wall. II Is possible that the
taxes might run for 20 years, but In the
meantime, the sea wall could be built
as banks and investors would be will
ing 10 take the warrants. as long as
they are authorized by Legislative en-
actment. In this way. a sea wall could
be built, and Il cannot b. built by any
other means. The tax 1uld be small
on each individual taxpayer, while the
benefits accruing would be OF sub
stantial nature. :.
This Is a matter that is referred to
the Chamber OF Commerce to formu-
late a plan OF action. All such ques-.
tions are matters for commercial or
ganization to consider. and as the
Chamber of Commerce Is Interested In
all questions looking for the advance
ment and welfare OF the city, II is their
duty to prepare the necessary plans
and advocate the enactment OF law
carrying these suggestions into effect

The Press Solidly Behind Him.

Sylvan Valley News.
We cannot let the action of Judge
Purnell pass without submitting few
remarks. Our attention has never
been called to a more high-handed, ar
bitrary and unjust proceeding than his
action in appointing the receivers for
the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail-
road. The idea of a Federal judge
usurping the rights of the State and
commanding that any lease of the said
railroad shall be submitted to him to
pass on! upon what meat, 0 Pur-
nell, hast thou fed. that thou art wiser
than our present State officers?'
Thomas jefferson spoke as true
prophet when he declared that the
Federal courts were the greatest mem
ace to the Union. When men of Pur-
nell's nature and calibre have great
authority put into their hands the
public are in danger.
The contempt proceedings against
Josephus Daniels should not have
been. and Purnell exceeded his au-
thority. The press of North Caro-
lima should stand solidly behind Mr..
Daniels in this matter and create a
public opinion founded on right and
justice to drive Purnell and his like
from out the State.

North Carolina All Right.
Nashville (Tenn.) News.

Nashville (Tenn) News.
Mr.. Daniels's comment did not in
any way exceed the limits of honest
and independent newspaper criticism,
and even had it done SO. Judge Pur-
nelfs action is extreme and eXtraordi-
nary. In the first place. he assumed
the functions of prosecuting attorney
witness, jury and judge, bringing the
indictment, interpreting the law in the
case, defining the offenSe, convicting
and sentencing the editor. The pun
ishment was fixed without the right
of appeal, making the whole affair
as near an approach to inquisitOrial
methods as could be imagined in free
republic.
1t is fortunate, perhaps. that man
of Mr.. Daniels stamp should have
been the object of this attack on free
speech and a free press, for he will
force it to a national issue. In the
whole affair from the assumption of
Federal authority over a State corpo-
ration to the autocratic ruling of
Judge Purnell on the liberty of the
press, is seen plainly the dangerous
imperialistic spirit which is gaining
hold upon this government. In North
Carolina, at least. there is still plenty
of the true AmericaniSm which is pre-
pared to resist tyranny and usurpation
of power to the utmost Governor
Aycock would have called a special
session of the Legislature if Chief
Justice Fuller had not suspended
Judge Purnell's order. and Editor
Daniels has refused all offers to pay
his fine and declares that he will rot
in jail before he will yield to such in
justice. On such men and their sturdy
convictions and determination hang
the national hope in fighting the grow
ing danger of imperialistic power.

Judge Purnell was ,hasty, excessive

to be pardOned an error of Judgment

TALLY never feel the need of invoking

To my brethren of the press, whose

preciate the far-reaching consequences

grateful appreciation. Nearly all OF
them by personal message or call,
through their columns and through
other channels, showed their deep in
terest in the vital question upon trial.
Some of them differ widely with me
upon public measures, but they recog-
niZed that Judge Purnell's summary
punishment of one editor, IL 1t could
stand, would muzzle all editors who
have convictions. THE injury of one
| is the concern of ALL and they rung
| true and clear when a Federal Judge
assumed the right, without trial by
jury and denial of the right of appeal,
to imDrison an editor who had COM
mitted no crime unless it be a crime
to criticize a judicial act which has
since been set aside by the Chief JUS
tfce of the United States. The press
is liable to err, no editor is infallible.
but if a judge can. contrary to the
plain letter of the law, sentence such
editor, without jury trial, and deny
him his lawful right of appeal say
if such an act should be acquiesced
in, the press would be degraded to a
level lower than it reached even in
England more than century ago
when an editor was imprisoned eigh-
teen months for criticising member
