were notified by the New Britain de-
partment yesterday 10 be on the look
out for thieves who had made a rich
haul IN what was understood to be a
Swedish boarding house in New Brit.
ain.
The thieves got S35 in gold. a roll Of
500 in bills, an envelope containing
$50. a second roll of $3.50 and $50 in
foreign gold coin. Belgian and Flem-
ish.
The thieves also secured hunting
case gold watch. on the crystal OF
which there Is engraved heart. The
local pawn shops were watched in
hopes that the watch might be brought
here.
Altogether. there seems to be much
mystery in the burglary and It il evil
dent that the officials are bound TO
secrecy. II Is plain that 1t is By no
means an ordinary boarding house rob.
berry or the robbery Of all the savings
OF a poor foreigner. /.
The character Of the things stolen
leads 10 the suggestion that they may
have belonged to q church or priest OF
minister. and. II 50. the explanation
may account for the secrecy that at
present surrounds the case.

NAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
Blowing Up Eighty.Four Tens o
Dynamite In Suex Canal.

Port Said, Egypt, Sept ga seri-
Gus stoppage of traffic on the SUez ca
nal is threatened owing to the neces-
sity for the blowing up of the British
steamer Chatham, which was sunk on
September 6 owing to the fact that
she was on fire and that the flames
threatened to reach quantity Of dy-
Mantle which formed part OF her car
go. Since that time the wreck has OBJ
structed the waterway, especially at
night as the wreck is submerged.
Divers tomorrow will place cases of
blasting gelatine In the hold of the
Chatham, these will be connected with
an electric battery ashore and the
eighty tons OF dynamite in the wreck
will be exploded Thursday morning.
An expert from the Nobel company
who is conducting the operations says
1t is impossible TO predict the amount
of mischief which will ensue from the
great npheaval or to what extent traf-
fic will be impeded. He says there is
no precedent to show the effect Of the
explosion Of such an amount Of dyna
mite. 1t may conceivably form era
ter in the bed of the canal I'm which
the wreckage may be buried, leaving
the canal deeper than before.
The Suez Canal company declares
it is impossible to estimate the length
of time the canal will be blocked, but
the company's experts are confident 1t
will only be a matter Of few days.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Republicans Wosld Do Well to Let
Trolley Question Alone.

Some Of Ralph Blakeslee's friends
must be trying to bury him. II not
what prompted them to mention the
WATERFOWL road and the Cheshire
trolley question at this time? Wasn't
1t the democrats that held up the
trolley company and compelled them
to build that $4,000 retaining wall
along the Naugatuck river on the
WATERFOWL road instead of having
the expense saddled on the city as
would have been the case IL certain
republicans had been given their way?
The same fellows would have per
mitted the trolley company to go I'M
der the Oakville trestle without pay
ing copper towards the cost of put
ting the place in proper shape for the
service, but democratic mayor and
board Of public works, while anxious
to have them operate the road, refused
to settle 1t on basis which put the
entire burden on the taxpayers and
took the matter into the courts and
held it there until the company con-
scented to make settlement with the
city which had some elements of fair
ness in 1t. The same thing is true
with reference to the Cheshire line.
Do you doubt this? II SO put on your
thinking cap and see If you can re-
collect what Engineer Cairns said
when the Baldwin street trolley hear
Ing was on. The engineer declared
that Waterbury owed a deep debt of
gratitude to Mayor Kilduff and the
former administration for the stand
they had taken on trolley questions,
and added that it was due to their at
titude that the city was about to re-
ceive something reasonable for the
right to extend the service In East
Main street. The republican politi-
clans had better let this trolley ques-
tion alone especially East Main street
and the Watertown road, for some of
the democrats have a lot of informa-
ton on these matters that wouldn't
help the 6. o. p. to continue at the
helm. Come now, gentlemen, be fair
with Mr. Blakeslee. He has done
some good things in his day and time.
If you want to see him mayor Of Wa
terbury why not call attention to his
victories instead Of reminding the
public Of his failures.

The proposed Library park Is likely
to cut quite q figure In determining
the result of the coming city zeiection.
The republicans are committed to the
project but Mr. Thon,s thinks the e1-
penses should not be undertaken I'M
less the people say so at the polls. II
has been said that the board Of agents
of the Silas Bronson library are very
much in favor OF the park, but there
appears to he some doubt about this.
Some time ago, Mr. Plat, the secre-
tary of the institution. asked the
members to write him an opinion on
the matter. Very likely all complied
with the request but just what each
said Is something nobody appears to
know. 1t would be interesting II Mr.
PIatt would publish the communica-
tons as they came to him, but prob
ably he regards them as confidential
and would not care to do so without
the consent Of the members. Some say
that majority opposed the park and
others claim 1t was the other way.
Probably what the agents did say
wouldn't amount to much anyway.
The public has the matter in hand
now and II Il their privilege to do
what they please In the premises.
