SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Property Owners Who Seek Mutual
 Protection Out in Force.

The meeting called for yesterday afternoon in the office or l.. R. Carter. II East Main street., to form an or- ganizatlon of realty owners for mutual protection, was big success, as many being present as the place could ac-. commodate. l.. R. Carter was chosen chairman and Henry w. Minor clerk. The following were appointed as a committee to formulate a plan of or ganlzatlon and report to meeting to De held next Monday afternoon at the same place: E. W. Mooring, Terrence 2. OBfien, A. A. Irion, NJ. J. Colloty. #. F. Hutchinson. John Robarts and Louis Raffel. The intention is to form permanent organization and hold meetings once month or oftener for the purpose of discussing questions of public interest. Members who feel aggrieved over the rent question. water rates or things of that nature. can report to the society and a com mittee will inquire into it and See what can be done in the premises. Names Of people who prefer to. move rather than pay. rent will be put within the reach Of owners of buildings and in this way rent dodgers will find it hard to ply their game.
 From time to time questions come up oAAiS pCiiChtC dlIU QdAdSGS dFESAIE from the layout of streets and estab- lishment of building lines, paving streets, laying sewers and sidewalks and many other things which affect some folks who do not care to appear at public meetings and state their case while if they had an organization to whose representatives they could go and talk the matter over in advance of the hearing, the society would be in possession of the facts, and some one competent to deal with them could at tend to the case without much incon- venience Committees acting in the interests of every line of industry from the fellow who conducts a peanut stand on the corner to the big corpora ton that aims to own the public high ways of the town. are heard from now and then both by themselves and trough their agents. but the great army of people known as real estate payers are an unknown quality before the city boards except on occasions when they are cited in to be heard regarding some proposed public improvement for which they are obliged to plank down the dust. What wonder, then that the rate payer feels the burden growing heavier every day? The new club is a move in the right direction and if it can be arranged so that it will not cost too much to belong to it, it will. have big membership.

WELL RECOMMENDED.
Hon John C. Dancy Who Will Soon
 Lecture in This City.

The Hon J. c. Dancy will soon be in the city again to speak on a very important subject, ."'The Best Thing for the Negro To Do. The following letter is what was said about MT Dancy's coming to Waterbury ill 1902:
 Waterbury, Conn, March 24, 1902. To the Editor Of the Democrat:
 Waterbury students of the sociologi- cal questions of tie day will soon have the privilege of listening to a valuable address from "a noted and competent speaker The Hon John c. Dancy. until recently collector of the port of Wilmington. N. C., and now recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. will speak at A. M. E. Zion church. Friday evening, April 15. With his theme. "The Best Thing for the Negro To Do.' he; is thoroughly familiar. as ha is himself negro, born and brought up in the south, and educated at Howard university in Washington. Like Booker Washing ton, he has acquired distinction and risen to q commanding position through ability and hard work. Of the condition and prospects of his people he is said to speak in a dis eliminating and charming manner.
 He is friend of the Rev MT Nc Collum, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church on Pearl street, and generously comes here at his request. The Right Rev Bishop Hood. MT McCollum's father-in-law. will be in town at the same time and will introduce the speaker, himself no doubt. uttering wise and witty words. The Pearl street church needs money for the re- novation of it's somewhat dilapidated building, and partly for the sake of obtaining requisite funds it's pastor has secured the services of MT Dancy.
 1t is hoped that the good people of Waterbury will appreciate NIr Me- Collum's enterprise and Mir Dancy's kindness. and by 1}atronizing the lee ture not only secure a rich and rare treat for themselves. but help a struggling church to accomplish a worthy end. Waterbury can we'll af- ford to welcome distinguished man whom the presidents of the United States have delighted to honor

LABOR HEARINGS.
Work of the Committee on Eight
 Hour Bill is Fin ished.
Special to, Democrat.)

Washington, March 29.-The house committee on labor late Saturday night finished it's hearings on the eight hour Dill. These hearings have been going on for nearly three months, and the subject of the limit of daily hours has been thoroughly discussed. The hear Ings have at times been quite spirited and many charges and countercharges have been made by the labor unions and those representing the manufac, turers. It is the first time the latter have made a determined effort to de- feat a favorable report from the com mittee, and they have made quite an impression on. the members of the labor committee So much so, in fact, that it is confidently predicted by many that there will be no report this session. If there is one, the bill will probably be so modified as to meet the partial approval of the manufacturers at least. The committee will from now on for some little time hold ses- sions behind closed doors and the re suit of their deliberations will be watched with considerable interest.
 The central figure of these hearings for the manufacturers has been Attor- ney Daniel davenport of Bridgeport, who has attended every hearing held and has fought the arguments Of the labor unions at every step. On Sat- urday he made the closing argument against the bill. He showed that the measure would be unconstitutional, being an infringement of the personal rights of contractors. The law, he said would apply to the construction of the Panama canal and all river and harbor improvements, as we'll as public buildings Under the proposed law each contractor would be subject to a fine of $5 per. day. for each man in his employ should he operate his plant one minute over eight hours.
 MT Davenport closed with an appeal to the committee to carefully consider the points made by his side. After the hearing MT Davenport said he was well pleased with the treatment he has received at the hands of the commit tee. and he felt satisfied the case would have very careful consideration

WHEELING IN THE SKY.
Sensational Bicycle Riding Here
 Every Day Next Week.

Considerable talk has been created already by the announcements made in these columns yesterday that the Knights of Columbus have secured Will King, the noted aerial bicyclist. to do his sensational aerial wire bicy- Gle act here next week The act is to be done in the open air, too, free Of cost to the spectators, and on that ae- count is increasing public talk. As told yesterday, wire will be stretched from the roof of the City hall to Hod- sons or some other building in Ex- change place and every day at, noon MT King will ride the length of the wire and back in full view of the spec tators.
 MT King, as some of our readers will recall. made this sensational ride across Niagara Falls last summer, eclipsing the wonderful feat performed by Blondin when he crossed the Falls on a tight rope some years ago. It is regarded as probably the most sensa- tional novelty now before the public, and is to be the principal feature of attraction at Luna park, Coney Island, during the coming summer. 1t IS -.-lgs first visit to Connecticut, and the Knights of Columbus are to be commended for their enterprise in se- cuTIHS Iuc DIE ScuSd uoil.
 The Casting Dunbars, who will per form every evening inside the hall. have an act that is almost equally sen- sational. It is far and away the best act of its kind In the world, and is made additionally attractive by the in- troduction of an element of comedy. In combination with the outside act done by King it offers brace of sen sations such as Waterbury has never before been treated to- indicating lnat the fair committee have arranged veritable feast for the enjoyment Of the Waterbury public.
 These two big sensational features will not, however, make up the entire list of attractions. Each evening dur ing the week there will be a special program arranged, and dancing will be made prominent as one of the features. Canvassing for some thirty or more beautiful and valuable articles will be carried on, every subscriber to can vasser's book receiving coupons which insure against substitution of other names on the book. This is new feature in the canvassing line which will be much appreciated by people who spend their money in this way guaranteeing as it does the spender getting a run for his cash. C0mbina- ton books. entitling the purchaser to share in the distribution of $1,5O0 in cash and to have try at the capital prize of $1,OOO in gold, can be pur- chased at StTobel's jewelry store, Finn's shoe store or from any Knight in the city. The books are selling handsomely and it looks now as if the 10000 that the committee expected to have sold in Waterbury alone will be placed.
 Everything points to the fair prov ing a big success and realizing. a hand some nucleus for the permanent home huilding fund.

jor He is now Superintendent of Police
OF the City of Rochester, N. Y, and had
the pleasure. of meeting him quite often
while living in New York State.
After marching through country full of
breastworks, deserted farms and burning
forests, where devastation pointed its foot
steps on every side, and dead horses lay
quite frequent by the roadside, we arrived
on the morning of the 24th of May. 1864.
on the North Anna River. had been
quite sick for two or three days, but
went along. No bridge being near. we
wadcd the river, hip deep. The bottom
was nothing but jagged rock; yon could
not get foOtboid il y0n tried. The field
officers rode below us, no ding out swords
and sticks to any that lost footing, and
there were many such. u
That day the rebels pressed on us from
Eank and front, and by next day even
ing we recr0ssed at the same place. over
a willow bridge made by the Engineer
Corps, which was better. although the
bridge sunk nearly knee-deep from our
weight. "a
In this fight. Comrade Martin v. Tnf-
ford, OF Co. III fwho was killed at Port
land on June 4, 1909. told me that when
we were being fanked, he ran past Capt
Kiefer, Co. NJ. who lay badly wounded,
and who, seeing him pass, held up his
fine gold watch to take a.ong. But TUT
ford was in TOO hot place, and did not
stop. Capt. Kiefer and his son both died
in rebel hands.
On May 30 and 81, we came very near
bad scrap with the enemy. A column
of them marched between our pickets and
our breastworks during dark night Our
boys walked back few steps from the
picket line to investigate. Asking one of
them where he belonged, he named a
Southern regiment, and our man, being
questioned, had not his wits with him,
but told him "14th N. w. whereupon
he and a number Of others fell into their
hands.
Near the end of May our pickets were
driven in one afternoon, and the rebs came
so near the breastworks that we manned
them and looked for scrap, but they
quickly withdrew. 1t was also here that
John Record and l were shot at by reb
long-range sharpshooter.
We had procured water at spring
just outside the breastworks. John Rec
ord had a new red flannel shirt on, just
received from the Sanitary Commission.
and as we returned bullet struck n
small tree between us. We heard no shot
and concluded that sharpshooter a half
mile away saw that red shirt.

the rear to keep the men from struggling,
a long, shrill rebel yell sounded in our
front. Firing began on our left. l saw the
9th N. Y. Cav, dismounted, leap into po-
sition and pour volley to their front. The
excitement ran along the line and reached
our regiment, which did likewise, but the
officers yelled to stop firing and pickets
yelled, stop firing; you are firing into your
own men," and Private McFadden. one Of
two brothers in our cOmapny (A), fell for
ward, shOt-by whom we could never find
out-probably by one Of those rear-guards,
too scared to know what he was doing.
We laid him out, and with sad hearts
buried him there. The rebs made no
charge. We left that night to follow
the army, leaving Lieut.. Lockburner and
