SAW HIS SHADOW.
Ground Hot Will Have Six Weeks
 hofs to Sleep.

If the ground hog came out to-day and took stroll about the lots he didn't experience much trouble tn get ting q full length view of his shadow. Assuming that he got out it is safe to say that he saw his shadow, and ac- cording to the old legend, he immedi- ately returned to his winter quarters and rolled himself up for six weeks more, which means that the winter is but half over, although nearly every- body you meet declares that bis coal bin is almost empty. But it does not pay to take this matter too seriously. Many claim it is scheme of the coal dealers to cajole people into laying in an additional supply of coal and wood. This is Candemas day, and while the weather is somewhat chilly, the de lishtful sunshine makes everybody happy, and if they keep in that mood they won't mind the remaining few weeks of winter, for revolving time will usher ill the spring after a brief period, even though the ground hog should decide to remain in doors all summer.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Fireman Finn, Who Was Injured Will
 Be Kept on Payr0.!.

The board of public safety made q noble effort yesterday to hold public meeting and nearly succeeded. There were present Commissioners Beach. Van Keuren and Moran, and Mayor Elton presided. Business started off with q communication from JOsn r. Phelan for permission to withdraw his application for appointment to the fire department. The permission was granted. Quite recently Phelan passed the examination and was waiting for an appointment.
 Chief Egan reported that four sa. loon keepers had been before the court last month for violating the laws.
 On the recommendation of Captain 3leitman of Engine Co No ?. Frank Finn. who was injured at the fire in tn, ApOthecarieS' Hall Co building was kept on the pay roll pending his return to work.
 The ordinance prohibiting eXpector, ation in public places was discussed Mayor Elton asked to know if it had any effect at all and he was informed by Chief Egan that it had a wide eff feet, not only in places that are post ed. but in others as well. and partic ularly on the public sidewalks.
 Charles H. Barnes bill of $5 for tho use of his hack to take few drunkel men to the station house some weeks ago was taken up for the third time Chief Egan reported that he had car lied out the instructions of the hoard i hy inquirinc into the circumstances from the officers who had used the hack and they denied that it had beer damaged by them. thus contradictine MT Barnes. Sometimes S1 is paid fol hack services late at night If the work is out of the usual order, but that is the highest price. Some time ago a hackman charged S2 and is waiting for it yet. In the Barnes case. tha chief said he offered S2 to MT Barnes and it was refused. The board voted to have the chief renew the offer. but the chief said it would come better from the clerk and it was so decided.
 The board then retired to executive session to examine a number of appli- cants for positions in the fire depart ment.

OVERRIDING CHARTER.
 AMENDMENT BUSINESS

Some of the legislators at Hartford are beginning to think that Waterbury is overriding the charter amendment question and suggest that halt be called if the republican party through out the state is not to be sufferer on account of the efforts made here to defeat the will of the people. One of the distinguished gentlemen at the capitol is quoted as saying that no matter how desirable it may be to retain certain men in office some means will have to he devised where by their services may be secured to the public besides charter provisions. At the present time. he said, Waterbury enjoys but very small share of home rule, not quite as much as some of the cities in the governments of the old world and if this continues there is bound to be reaction, and for time at least Waterbury and every other town in the state will chose their own officers. This is in line with what many citizens have said during the past few weeks, but whether the prophecy will come true or not is an other thing.
