CHICAGO ELECTION.
Republicans Have Eighteen and Democrats sixteen Aldermen.

Republicans Have Eighteen and
 Democrats sixteen Aldermen.
 CHICAGO, April 6.-In the munich pal election here the Republicans elect ed eighteen aldermen, the Democrats sixteen, and one independent Repub- lican who repudiated the machine in the Sixth ward was chosen a member of the council. The last council was composed of 36 Republicans, B Dem ocrats, l independent Democrat and 1 Socialist. The next council will be formed of 36 Republicans, S1 Demo- crats, independents, one of whom is Democrat and the other Repub- lican, and Socialist.
 The chief interest fin the election, however, centered in the vote on pro- posed municipal ownership of the street railways. Tn this connection what is known as the Mueller law passed by the last legislature was sub- mitted to the people. The law author izes cities in Illinois to construct, own, operate and lease street railways and to provide the means therefor. On this proposition the vote stood 152,- ASA for the proposition and 30,104 against On the proposition that the city should at once take over the street railways into it's control the vote stood 12O,744 for and 50,S93 against.

POLICE ACTIVE, FOUR
 TEEN LIQUOR CASES.

The vote recently passed by the board of safety requiring the chief of police to furnish the board with a monthly report of the number of liquor cases brought before the court and the names of the officers making the com plaint has so far borne big results. Chief Egan's report read at the meet ing of the board yesterday showed there were fourteen liquor cases be- fore the court last month, mostly all of them for violation of the screen law Since the vote was passed the police have been active. and though the vio- lation in almost all of the eases was merely technical. according to tue rul- ing of the court. yet in each case a fine was imposed. This activity on the part of the police means increase of income for Prosecuting Agent Pierce. The fourteen cases disposed of by the court last month meant for him $140, for in any event, whether conviction results or not, he is paid $10 for each case and the city must bear the ex- pense of the proceedings

DUTIES OF SAFETY BOARD
Water Plug Communication Drew Out
 Another Discussion.

Very little business of importanca was transacted by the board of public safety at the meeting held in the may ors office yesterday. Commissioner Beach presided and all hands were on deck. An application from William J. Reynods was filed. Mr Reynolds seeks an appointment as callman. A communication from the board of edu- catien requesting hydrants to be placed near school houses where there are none was the means of exciting some discussion. The matter was at first referred to the board of public works, as that body has Jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to the pub He water service. but Commissioners Kent had the matter referred back to the board whence the communication came. He. wanted to know where the board of safety comes in between the board of aldermen and the board of public works. He considered the board of safety the body that should have jurisdiction over the placing or fire hydrants. It transpired, how ever. that the jurisdiction in question could not be transferred without amending the charter.
 Through Commissioner Kent a con- niAIlcc was appointed 10 inquire into the alleged necessity Of police signal box at the corner of Jackson and Bank streets. The committee consists of Chief Hgan and Commissioners Kent and Daly. There is no appropriation for work of this kind A police sig nal box alone costs about $15O.
 Commissioner Kent also had com mittee appointed to consider the ad- visibility of making the daily test of the fire alarm system at instead of 5 o'clock. Commissioners Van Keuren and Beach comprise this committed.
 William Robdllard. who has a peti- ton before the board for an appoint ment to the police force, was recon mended by A. o. Jennings. superin- tendent of the New England Watch factory.
 At the next meeting of the board Policemen Thomas r. Dodds and George H. Gabriel wall be examined for promotion from grade A to B, they having served six months in the first named grade.

YOUNGSTERS START FIRE
 DAMAGE IN SIMONSvILLE.

A good deal of damage occurred yes terday afternoon in Simonsville on ac- count of the antics of youngsters who make a practice of setting the woods on fire. A barn belonging to James Coughlan, which is near the slaughter house, off Chapel street, was destroyed, the roofs of the Leroy and Cowan residences on Tracy avenue started to burn and the buildings were saved after a hard fight by the neighhors. The fire caught hold of Mrs Leroy's barn and reduced it to ashes. People who live in that part of the town are in constant dread of being burned out. Young men who ought to know better and children who appear to have no one to look after them are firing things in a most reckless manner. The property owners think the safety board would be better employed in paying some attention to this and sim liar dangers that confront the taxpay- CTS than in quarreling over the ques- ton of supremacy between itself and other municipal bodies.

INNOCENT SAYS nATTOON
Nevertheless He Plead Guilty and
 Will be Sentenced Next Week.

WinSted, April 6,-Burton H. Mat toon, formerly state senator and ex- treasurer of the Watertown Savings bank, pleaded guilty in the superior court yesterday afternoon to four charges Of making false entries in the books of the savings bank He will be sentenced next Tuesday.
 Prior to the opening of court at 3 o'clock, Judge Silas A. Robinson of Middletown, who presided, was clos eted for three-quarters of an hour with States Attorney Warmer and the respondents counsel, Judge Cole of Waterbury. As soon as the jury had been infpaneled. MT Mattoon entered his plea of guilty and after brief for malities the case was ended.
 In brief interview i'll the court room immediately after the proceed ings were over. MT Mattoon said:
 II am innocent. My counsel knows 1t as well as. I do. But the bank has the books and all the evidence"
 MT Mattoon seemed to blame the state attorney because the latter had refused to postpone the criminal trial until after the close of the civil case brought by the bank against MT Mat toon in the district court in Water bury.
 The specific charges against Mattoon were that he altered the books of the bank so as to make it appear that money had been withdrawn by certain depOsitors as follows:
 Robert White, Watertown, figures l $175, raised to SLID; Rorbert Partree. Woodbury, $1.000; Mrs Julia NJ Buck ingham, Southport. $375.4S; George D. Crane, residence not given, $500. MT Mattoon is treasurer of Water l town, although only in name, as the 1 selectmen are empowered to transact the financial business owing to the bad condition of the treasurer's books. Two special town meetings have been 1 held to give MT Mattoon q chance to l explain his accounts, but although present, he said nothing An investi- gating committee reported a shortagc of $23. GOO.
 So tangled are the transactions of Mattoon with two savings banks that the town may have to meet notes of many thousands more. which were thought by the selectmen to have been canceled years ago
 MT Mattoon was placed in cell in the Litchfield county jail last night where he will probably remain until l sentence is passed He was brought there by Sheriff Middlebrooks in a carriage from Torrington. He ex. pressed q wish to visit his family in l Watertown before next Tuesday.

CAIRNS'S OPINION.
Says Sewage Scheme of Board of
 Health is Not What City Wants.

The board of public works held a meeting yesterday afternoon and lis- tened to a communication from City Engineer Cairns regarding the docu- men referred to him some time ago from the board of health relative to sewage disposal. Mir Cairns knocked the proposition of the health board out in one round. He found tha& the plan would cost about $200.Q00 and would be no improvement upon a similar treatment which can be carried on at Platt 8 Mills, where land is cheaper, and the danger of creating a nuisance to Naugatuck and Union City would not be anything like as great as at Hop Brook. He didn't think the plan suggested by the board of health feas- ible. The communication was re- ceived and ordered on file.
 The engineer was authorized to buy about $31 GOO worth of pipe for fhe high water service and to advertise for a portion of the work, bids to be received on May 3.
 | The superintendent of streets wag re- l quested to look over the different | drdveways about town and report as to the number of them that ought to be abolished; also. to investigate and re l port upon plan Of treatment TOT the street at the junction of Cole street and Union square which will relieve the place from surface water and give "a temporary grade to the owner of the property at the Oakville station so that some improvements may be made there. MT Goss remarked, in show ing the need of abolishing the high tlriveways, that he knew several of them. had been done away with the past few years. whereupon MT Goss remarked that there is very healthy one on Meadow street. opposite Ralph Blakeslee's barn. Even the mayor laughed at that. It was voted to cite i'll property owners on Harrison ave- nue on May 3 to be heard relative to 1 building lines In that street
 Guy Porter was heard regarding the need of city water on Bunker Hill and Mrs Sara Warner complained Of trouble from surface water on her property at West Main and Riverside streets. The petition Of the Southern 1 New England Telephone Co for per mission to make subways in the public streets. together with other matters referred to the board by the aldermen, were placed on the list for investi9as ton.
