H'Shy Politics.

There was something doing in Repub- lican political circles last week, state wise. Harold R. Durant gave a luncheon at the Elton hotel ill Waterbury, We'd nesday, and among the guests were Colonel w. H. Hall of Wellington, Sheriff Tom Brown, Mayor Studley and Senator Graham of New Haven, F. A. Scott of Plymouth, Frank E. Healy of Hartford, Col. Sam Horne of Winsted, Congressman Lilley and Senator Peck of Waterbury. After toothpicks the party took an automobile ride to Sails bury, where lives States Attorney Don Warner. MT. Durant says he did not get the party together for the purpose of making a character study for a magazine story, and thought probably many of his guests would like to see Lieuten- ant Governor Rollin s. Woodruff get the gubernatorial nomination, but that the visitors were ill town to look at one of Waterbury's new parks. Sails bury is just nice little auto spin from Waterbury and no one has suggested that possibly MT. Warner was inter viewed ill regard to Sam. Fessenden $ attitude ill the Allan W. Paige-Lieut.- | Gov Woodruff situation.

Weather Reports Save Money.

In spite of the standing joke about the weather man, it is probable that for every dollar spent on the weather bu- reau BIO are saved. At the time of the Mississippi flood of 1897 Sl5,000, 900 worth of live stock and other valuable property were saved as a result of warnings issued week ahead. Sig nals displayed for a single hurricane have detained in port vessels valued, with the cargoes, at $20,000,O0O. The West Indian stations, established in 1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon as they begin. The course of the hur- ricane that caused the Galveston flood was charted for week before it struck our shores-for hurricanes move slow ly. Eighty-five per cent. of the fore crsts now come true, and by the aid of rural free delivery 25,000.oo0 forecast cards were distributed last year to farmers, many of whom could not have had them five years ago.

AN ITALIAN ROW.
The Sunday Quiet of Tour New Eng land Town Disturbed Somewhat in the Outskirts,


 Little Italy," the region between Sodom district and East Canaan, was unusually disturbed last Sunday. At the old Wesley Prescott place lives an Italian by the name of Russ who runs a resort which people say has got to be closed up. The beer drinking has be- come too deep and long and the Sunday dances too hilarious even for some of the quieter spirits i'll Canaan's Italian colony.
 Last Sunday afternoon one Giovanni was unmercifully beaten with clubs by at least four of his countrymen, and was ill danger of being killed had he not been rescued by others of his country men and some Americans. The latter telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Rhoades who with Will H. Briggs drove to the scene of the hostilities and enlisted the aid of Joe and Fred Allen, Earl Coons and some others i'll rounding up the Italians.
 The officer and posse called at Russ home where some fifty Italians were picknicking. Immediately the air was full of flying foreigners. Out of the windows and doors went the Italians doing the hot-foot toward the woods and the Massachusetts state line. In their haste some of the fleeing did not notice barb wire fences at all and would be thrown back some twenty feet by the tension of the wires. Rhoades and Joe Allen did some record running and firing of revolvers into the air and finally rounded up Russ and some others. The officer tried to find ont who had battered up the injured John but the Italians were surprisingly ignorant of the English language, and the Guiseppes, Giovannis, Jacopos, Antonios and Paolos, are so much more confusing than when they are Joe, John, James, Tony or Paul, that it was impossible. Russ was considerably frightened as he thought a liquor raid was ill progress and he was constant in his overtures to settle. He could or would not, however, tell the names of the assailants of John and when questioned as to identity of any of those present his mixed English was "Me know not name, non mi ricordo."
 No arrests were made but Monday there was an exodus from Canaan of half dozen or more ItaliaRs. John, the injured, lmped down to Canaan and had Dr. Camp dress his wounds. Russ promises to smooth over all the trouble and for a few days there is niente far in Little Italy"

Bausing Co. Wins Suit.

The case which was brought by Ed ward A. Bowers of New Haven, who owns a small amount of stock in the Middlesex Banking company of Middle town, in which he alleges that the re- cent vote of the company stock holders, to reduce the capital, was illegal, has ex- cited considerable attention, and has | been the subject of consideration before Judge William s. Case of the Superior court at two hearings in New Haven, in which the plaintiff asked for an in junction to restrain the company from carrying out the vote. The judge rendered decision Nov. fully sustain ing the company in the action it too k and very effectually disposing of the claims of the plaintiff. Incidentally it is learned that the company has issued more than $50, ,000, ,000 of bonds during it's career and these have been bought largely by investors Ill New England and the Central states. It has never for day delayed the payment of a dollar of principal or interest on these bonds and more than $25, ,O00, ,000 have matured and been paid by the company, in full, h. quiry develops the fact that a total of nearly one-half million dollars has been paid ill dividends to the stockholders. The result of this unsuccessful attack upon this Middletown institution can not fail to be gratifying alike to the management, and to the numerous patrons of the company throughout this part of the country.
 Subsequently a bi1 of 1011s for $23, 900, of the bonds was refused by the l holders.
