One wants to be sure that his infor- nation did not come from some know all who usually knows nothing, be- fore he charges his neighbors with selfish motives in anything they do. A good citizen was very forcibly re- minded of this to-day when he claim ed that an employe of the Democrat t who favors the present sidewalks law did so because he made big thing out of it himself in getting his walks fixed anG naturally thought it was all right. His discontinue can be more easily imagined than describ- td when he learned that there was absolutely no truth iii the imputations not even one penny of the sidewalk appropriation being spent in the street the man lives in. As mat ter of fact he Is one of the last persons in Waterbury who would feel the benefit of the sidewalk law, because lie would first have to construct walks 1t his own expense and wait until they got out of repair be- fore his turn would come. What has been said on that question was prompted by the best of motives and the result of several years of personal contact with that class or work, To be sure. people differ over this matter. Men who would gladly bond the city for half million dollars or more to pave the streets think the city shouldn't put hand OH the sidewalks, and yet the city owns the side walks as well as the streets, and con siderably more people use the side walks than use the streets. The law applies alike to all and the opinion of man who says that 1t gives one an ad- vantage over another should not be ta- ken into consideration, because any body who makes such a statement Is dealing in probabilities instead of dis cusSino subject

Stamford Nov 12--Mrs Hattie M. Hamilton died yesterday morning at her home in North Stamford. She ap- peared ill the superior court October 21. as petitioner for divorce on the grounds of intolerable cruelty and desertion.
 In the court room her emaciated condition attracted general attention. She was in the last stages of con- sumption and realized that death was near. Her main object ill obtaining q divorce was that her child might in- herit her property and that his father could not claim custody of him after her death. She was married Novem- Der r, 1883, and for several years her domestic relations were unhappy. She testified that her husband beat her and was very cruel, even after her ill., ness became hopeless.

TO ABOLISH THIS NIP.
New Britain Barsenaers Union Lead
 i'm the Movement for Reform.

New Britain, Nov 12.--To abolish the "five-cent nips' is the reform which the New Britain Bartenders' union will endeavor to bring about. To the uninitiated "the nip applies to whis- key. In most we'll regulated places the price of dash of spirits frumeni is 10 and 15 cents, whether the glass be large or small. Other places, whose patronage is made up of shop-workers, find it of advantage to sell mouthfuL of liquor for q nickel.
 Men dealing i'll the business realize that honest whiskey--if there is such q thing-cannot. be retaiiesl Rt this price, and it follows that an inferior brand of alcohol is passed into the hu- man stomach because of the reduced monetary consideration. The recent scare in New York city where many fell victims to wood alcohol retailed at five cents a glass, has caused alarm throughout the country.
 Ill New Britain the bartenders have taken the matter up. They will en- deavor to bring about the reform ill this city.

Five Break Away From Circus and

Peru, Ind, Nov 12.--A herd of ele- plants belonging to Colonel Wallace's circus had q lively time in Butler township for several houfs Thursday afternoon. The circus returned home Thursday afternoon from the south The weather was damp and cold. Two of the elephants were employed in pushing wagons, and Gypsy, the larg, est and most vicious animal of the herd. suddenly trumpeted and charged on negro workman The other ele- phant joined ill the chase The negro escaped into a brick building
 The trumpeting of the elephants aroused the three elephants already in the barn and they broke away, run ming east on the Mississinewa pike. They were joined by the other two elephants, and as they moved alons the pike they scared everything with sense enough to become frightened.
 The herd was pursued by the circus men, armed with pitchforks and hooks. The animals escaped immediate cap ture by fording the Nississinewa river. They dashed through the little village of Peoria like whirlwind and broke up public sale, the> auctioneer and bidders fleeing in every direction. The circus men overlook the herd five miles from the starting point. and forced the elephants back to winter quarters.
