THE SENATE FIGHT.

Washington, Dee 3.-"I know Of only one reason why Governor Odell should not control the legislature ana the election of senator to succeed Depew and that is that Odell prom tsed positively. ten days before cleo ton, to DepeW and myself, that he would not interfere
 The foregoing statement was made by Senator Thomas c. Platt of New York today to newspaper man who called on him at his apartments at the New Willard hotel. Senator Platt was asked if anything new had trans pfred concerning the senatorship and he replied that there had been noth- ing of consequence. that he. was sure Senator Depew would be reelected. Every body knows what I think about it. he said. When his attention was called to published interview with Representative Littauer to the effect that Governor OdelI would control the legisla tnre and that exsGovernor Black would be elected, the senator made the statement quoted. Continuing, he said:
 think there are enough cOnserva- lives in New York to recognize that DepeW has been model senator and insist upon his return. If OdeIl and bis machinery can defeat Depew ar this time think it is about time for us to hang up the fiddle"

.ATWOOD'S SCALP
Col. Turpee Wants It as We'll as Some of
 His Cash.

Colonel Lucien F. Burpee has started in to make matters interesting for Frederick B. Atwood of Wood bury, whose suit against the colonel was thrown out of the superior court a few days ago. Colonel Burpee has drawn up papers in suit against Atwood and they may be served this evening. If not they will be served Monday. The papers say that on January 5, 1908, MT Atwood brought suit against the colonel for $2,O0O damages. That suit was dismissed by the courts. A second count. says that another suit, like the first one, was thrown out of court the other day. The papers go on to say that both suits were based on malice; that they were instituted notwithstanding that MT Atwood had full Knowledge that he had no cause for suit, that thelr object was to annoy and vex and trouble piaintsn.
 The closing paragraphs are to the effect that Colonel BlIrpee expended $500 in defending the suits, that his business suffered. 1O tue amount of $500, that he lost considerable time and was put to great inconvenience, and that his bank account of $5,OO0 sWAS uS4O5 up tDS dlJ dtldCu1uSuGs luuS he was deprived of his regular income and the use of that money as we'll. He asks damages of $3.6O0. Accord ing to the statues Colonel Burpee can sue for three times the amount of his costs.
 During the past few days m effort was made to locate MT AtwDod's bank account but it was fruitless. Someone must have informed him that Colonel Burpee had d rod in pickle for him and he accordingly withdrew every cent he had in the local banks Usual ly lie had two bank accounts.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.
Many Requests from Property Oun- i CTS Turned Dovvn bv Boards.


 CTS Turned Down by Boards.
 Evidently the present administra ton does not believe in turning on the light. Some time ago a big batch or petitioners for electric lights was turned down by the aldermen in 8 most unceremonious manner aIfhoueb there appeared to be no reason why many of them should not have been granted. The department of public works had sufficient funds on hand for that purpose, but for some reason or other both boards, the department of public works and the aldermen. got 1t into their heads that some people didn't know light from darkness. and denied their petitions and commenced putting up lights where nobody had asked for them. This of course is in line with the general charge from re publican politicians that not mere than one taxpayer fin Waterbury ont of every thousand knows his head from his heels and that the Iegfsl at Hartford and not the people of Waterbury should pass upon what is good for them. Some of the pua7ic thoroughfares of Waterbury are sad ly in need of lights and eyeryb0dr knows 1t, but this makes no difference If the powers that be cannot fnd enough places where they want Ifeats they are very apt to transfer the hal ance of the appropriation to some oth CT account and use 1t for somethn n9 else. Mayor Elton said sometime aa6 that m electric light is q fine taIl DO liceman and that t was too bad fne city could not afford more of them. His honor was right, but why doesn'f he see that the five or six lights which ! the board of public works has money enough to install are not put on guard where so many citizens who contrib uted to the fund feel the need of them ? Mayor Elton has very keef appreciation OF what is right, but does not always insist moon having his ideas carried out. The charter makers assure us that if the mayor had the naming of all the boar7s he would have himself personally respan ,.sible for their conduct, but those who talk that way cannot prove it for it is plain that the present executf E. takes the ground that the several boar1 and every member thereof should be free c dIo Us they pleasea regardless of what inc arpognsS e power may think. This leaves shem aTlswerab ble to nobody and 8a can sequenre there is considerably more dissafisfactfon with the present ad- mfnistfati0n than the public expected there would be.
