OPPOSED DURANT.
Some Republicans Worked Against Him, Others Rem ained Passive.

Some of the republicans who were
 prominent in their party scraps last
 fall are unable to get over their dis
 appointment at the success of Attor- ney Durant in the legislature. They
 seem unable to get the idea into their
 heads that he sgot there,' because
 they worked against him harder than
 they ever worked before. and it is diff
 fcult for them to acknowledge that he beat them. Some of the boys around town say Judge Peasley and Pen
 Kelsey are losing flesh over it, and
 that if they had had the slightest idea
 that Mir Durant would get there they
 would not have raised finger for the
 success of tue party locally.
 There were many who did not raise
 q finger for or against Mir Dufant. Men of undoubted Influence in their party and whose al.em0sity to him
 was well known before he entered the race for the clerkship,i And the reason l for their negative action is said to be based more on their fear of him and kind of feeling ill their bones that he | would win, in which case he could easily square accounts with them. Two weeks before the legislature
 convened MT Durant had Me nomina- tion for the assistant c.erksnip in his pocket. But he was too astute to
 make it known. He did not wish to
 have those who were opposed to him
 change their hammers for sledges and steam shovels, as they would assured. ly have done had they the slightest : idea that he had the winning colors in . his pocket then. It was a great fight, | quiet as falling snow on calm day.
 but fierce, nevertheless. Some local
 men acted as though it were a person al matter with them to see that Mir Durant was defeated.
 The day the nomination was made
 Judge Peasley and Ben" Kelsey were said to be conspicuous in the Hobbies
 of the capitol building, knocking" MT Durant for all they were worth. However much their influence may
 have been, results showed it amount
 ed to nothing that day. That they
 were without the slightest influence. It is said Judge Peasley took mat
 ters so far as to appeal to tue repre- ; sentatiyes from his native town. Had
 dam, and that they gave him the icy stare. MT Durant had the support of
 Waterburys representatives, and the
 result of the total vote so surprised Messrs PeasleYand Kelsey that they
 lost no time in getting out of Hart ford. The position of assistant clerk
 ship ill the lower house is good until
 the political complexion of the legisla- ture is changed, and the official, who-
 ever the fortunate one may be, can
 live on Easy street for some time.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Michael Quinn Get Thirty Days in
 .Jail and SD and C6sts.

A new face shOne in the dock in the city court to-day. It was pale and tired looking and when the name
 Anna Clark was called it came into the stronger light of the window. The woman was charged with intoxicatio,t and she had nothing to say for her self Sergeant Blakely found her on South Main street last evening. near the office of the Benedict X Burnilam
 Go. Judge Peasley sentenced her to ten days in jail.
 John Kelly was charged with
 breach of the peace. Mrs Kelly said that when her husband brings any
 money home he is very ugly and full l of profanity. but when his pockets are
 empty his heart seems to be full of joy. Mrs Kelly was unable to explain
 this puzzling conduct. Yesterday she found it necessary to call an officer twice to the house before she had her husband arrested Kelly was given thirty days in jail.
 Michael Quinn. who lives in Mrs Norton's boarding house on South Main street, was called upon to an-
 swer to the double charge of intoxlca-
 tion and breach of the peace. Mrs Norton said that yesterday Quinn
 beat his twO-year-old child on the head and face with an iron toy. horse, in
 fiicting two wounds, and Threatening
 to hang it up if he cared to. For in
 toxication Quinn was sentenced to
 thirty days in jail and for breach of the peace he was fined S1 and costs. Daniel Lawlor was charged with intoXication and theft of S. from Ed | ward Sullivan. This was a peculiar case. Officer Brearton stated that one
 Timothy O'Connell complained to him that Lawlor had stolen S2 from Sulli- van. Lawlor admitted the theft to the officer and that was why he arrested
 him. O'Connell was not in court and
 Lawlor claimed, Hes ashamed to cOme.''
 Sullivan testified that he and Law Tor and O'Connell were drinking inf a saloon on Baldwin street. and that the
 money taken was his money and that
 it dropped to the floor. Lawlor did not : take the money because Lawlor was
 his friend. But Lawlor had some good
 friends, he said, who seemed to have
 something against him and took this way to get square.
 X bench warrant was issued for the arrest of O'CUnnell as he had not re, sponded to the subpoena, and court
 adjourned until such time as the man should be brought in.

Arkansas and New Hampshire supply

OF our grindstones came from Ohio last
year. but We also found 1t needful to nm
port nearly 500. 900 worth of stones for
grinding and polishing lenses. Burr
stones still find application In grinding
ANTS cements. etc. but other forms OF
grinding apparatus are gradually re-
icing them. New York state produces
most OF them. but some are taken from
Pennsylvania strata Pennsylvania
provides most of the quartz for sand

MS KIN NEED NO LICENSE.
Soldier OF NApoleonic Wars Could En-
ter Any Trade Without
Special Permit.

The new licensing bill recalls
the fact that the right to sell alec.
collie liquors without license
was privilege formerly granted
TO old soldiers and their children
as the state's reward for their
services. An act was passed in
1915 authorizing any officer, ma.
rine, mariner or soldier who had
served in the Napoleonic wars to
carry on any trade without let or
customary license. The privilege
was also extended to their wives
and children. Seven years ago q
dealer In wine spirits and beer
was prosecuted at the Mansion
house for pursuing his business
without a license. He pleaded that
be was the son of a Pcninsular vet
eran. exempt under this old stat
ute. and had carried on his uni
censed business for 10 years with
3ut official objection.

Countless men and women have

ten-month interval between the
