TWO ARE KILLED
While Using Dynamite the Explos-
i've Goes Off.
WERE BLOWING OUT STUMPS
NelS Peterson and Halvor Gilbertson are
the Victims of Fatal Accident
While Working at the New
Manufacturing Plant.
Nels. Peterson and Halvor Gilbert

Nels. Peterson and Halvor Gilbert
son, who have been doing contract
work cleaning land at the Atlantic
Manufacturing Company's plant for
several weeks. met with an accident
which cost them their lives Thurs
day. Their principal work has been
that of blowing out stumps with dy-
Mantle. AS the dynamite has been
in frozen condition they have been
in the habit of tina wing it out in
order that they could use it. AS
the two were about ready to com
mence work at one o'clock on Thurs
day small quantity of the power
full explosive went off. They we're
in small shed and the report
brought some of the workmen to
them, and the latter found that
Peterson and Gilbertson wece both
mortally injured, Gilbertson lived
but few minutes, while Peterson
died before night. Doctors Spears
and Hicks were summoned to the
scene of the accedint in hopes that
Peterson life might be saved, but
found little that they could do.
Peterson was man of family and
and lived on west Bayfield, street,
while Gilbertson lived on the Rowe
Brothers farm at Engoe, and was a
single man.
The accident was just such as
might have occurred at any place
where dynamite was being used
for blasting. 1t is thought but a
small quantity of the substance ex-
ploded, as some powder sat near by
in a can which did not go off.

eral Land Office in person that the
Commissioner has informed him
that the claims have all been sent to

formed to the law, and that he does
not think there is the slightest dan
ger but that there will only be ques-
ton now of little time. The Con
gresham has given tina matter
prompt attention and the claimants
here will no doubt soon realize the

tractors will be compelled to furnish

faithful performance of their con-
tract, and will be called upon to file

VOTE IN CONNECTICUT.
Mitchell Got Largest vote- Debs Made
 Good Showing.


 The vote cast in Connecticut for Eugene V. Debs for president is>in line with the big vote he got throughout the country Ills total vote, according to unofficial returns, is estimated to have exceeded 6Oo.OOO More voted for him than have voted for the candidate of any third party since the civil war, excepting only James B. Weaver (pop) in 1892.
 The vote in 1900 in Connecticut for Debs was 1929. Tn 1904 1t runs up to 4.476. while the vote for Woolley in 1900, the prohibition candidate, was 1.617. and this year for Swallow, the candidate of the same party, it is r. 465. decline in one case of about 10 per cent. and an increase in the other over four-fold. There was much talk of Watson. the populist. here as else where. but Debs got the votes.
 The following table will show the votes cast in this state this year for each of the presidential tickets and the line below the totals shows the number of towns in which the ticket did not receive single vote. It will be seen that prohibition is still spread over more surface. but socialism comes next and has become altogether Il larger factor than the old-time third party Here arc the figures:

THE APPROPRIATIONS
Will Soon be Submitted to the Board
 of Aldermen.

Very little is being said this year about the annual appropriations and it is not likely that tho subject will attract much attention until the bud get is submitted to the aldermen and published in the papers. Then there will be week for talking. but even then few will bother about the matter until they hear from the collector next May. There is no reason why the rate of taxation should not be lower than it was last year. The Croft school and the north end fire house pushed the rates up last season and as nothing of the kind has to be provided for in the estimates for 1905 people may reasonably hope that their rate bills will not be as large as they were for 1904. Like private individuals, there are public officials who need Il restraining hand in the matter of ex- pendftures and the wise heads should keep an eye upon them and see that they are not given free rein.

SLIGHT COLLISION.
Passengers are Now Corresponding
 With the Trolley Co.

The other day q slight collision oc. cured between team and a trolley car at Baldwin and Mill streets, lnG while 1t didn't amount to anything worth mentioning. the conductor con sldered It of sufficient importance t. take the names of all on board. The number included Police Officer NJ. i. Healy and Democrat reporter. To- day the reporter received a communi cation from the office or the Connects cut Railway and Lighting Go aS Bridgeport containing statement with whole lot of questions to be filled in about that accident" The scribe complied with the request anu added that he looked upon the incident as sort of visitation for the com pany's neglect in not completing and operating the line as per contract. He hopes all the rest of the passengers said something to the same effect. After he had posted the letter he was sorry that he didn't think of 1t in time and give Mir Paige and his associates 2 couple of thrusts about the condition of the roauDed. west side, from Liberty to Stone streets, where one would al. most need steps to descend from the track to the sidewalk. But perhaps It was just as well not to mention that, They might fix it and then the young yters couldn't use 1t for toboggan pur- poses during tho coasting season.

CHURCH DEDICATION.
Father slocum ts Speak Father Csleeson Was Pastor There Once.

The dedication of St Patrick's Ro- man Catholic church which will take place next Sunday at ThOmpsonville, will mark an epoch in the history of the Thompsonville parish and be all event of great interest to the whole village. The new church is probably one of the finest in the country out side of the larger cities and will coni- pare fayorably with many of the city churches.
 The site for the naw church was bought during the pattorate of FatLer AIulcahy, 1878 to 1881, and Father Donohue, who was pastor from 1881 to 1888, made preparation for and laid the foundation of the present edifice. The laying Of the cornerstone took place on Sunday, August Il, 1880, during the pastorate of Father Cleo sou. The corner stone wah laid by Tt Rev L. $. McNIahon oR Hartford. The exterior walls and roof of the building were completed on sunday, October Il, 1892, and since that time has been in continual use as the place of hohiing service. The work of fin- isiling the interior of the church was begun little over year ago and is now being pushed to completion in time for the dedication exercises next Sunday.
 The church will be dedicated by Bishop Tierrey of Hartford at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning. Bishop Matthew Harkins will be celebrant of the pontifical high mass The sermon will be preached by Rev W ]. Slocum of the church of ~the Immacu- late Conception of Waterbury.
