LAWYERS TAKE ACTION.
Movement to Have New Judge for
 City Court App oiuted.

A movement was started at bar meeting in the district court this morn ing to turn down Judge Burpee's aspir- ations for the city court judgeship. At torney John O'Neill, one of the best friends Judge Burpee has in New Ha- ven county, is, back of the project, and early next week the bar will hold a meeting to take action of some sort to settle the fight over the city court Judgeship at once. The actual motive back of the movement is to take the court out of politics if possible. In this respect this movement will be the first of the kind ever tried in the state, for notwithstanding that it has been often said that the courts are not in politics, the camor for them since the legislature convened shows quite a contrary situation altogether.
 A number of lawyers have been men, toned for the city. court. Judge Bur pee's term expires on April 1 and it is proposed to have him succeeded by either Attorneys U. G. Church, Edward l.. Seery, Terrence +. Carmody, Harry J. Beardsley or any other young law yer who has not been strongly identi- fled with party politics in Waterbury. So far these four are the only ones mentioned for the position, and Attor- ney Church is the only one who has ever taken an active part in party af- fairs. He is a member of the second ward republican committee and is looked upon as the Ulysses of his party in that section. Attorney Carmody fhA nJI os town government was town attorney. Attorney Seery has always been inde- pendent in his political views and At torney Beardsley has not shown a preference for either party.
 The senior members of the bar think the present occasion the best that ever can present itself to take the initial step for the establishment of non-par- tisan courts of law, and they say that if the bar associations in other cities took the same views. considering the state of affairs that existed in many of them until quite recently, the object would have been given a good start. They all agree that Judge Burpee will not be eappOinted as long as the mys- tery of the assessments is unsOlved, and they say that it would be unfair to hold np the appointment until it is cleared. Why Judge Bulpee was not present in his defense at the hearing in the legislature the other day sur prsed some members of the commit tee before which it was held.
 Few lawyers favor Attorney Cole for the position. All the senior lawyers learned what he was some twenty years ago, when he was judge of the city court.
 It is the intention of the lawyers to hold q meeting as soon as possible, make d selection and present it to the governor. In view of all the circum- stances enveloping the position at pres ent. they say it will be an easy way out of the difficulty to nominate the choice of the bar.

 ST. LOUIS. March 25.--According to the statement of w. E. s. Whaley, d Boston engineer, who has arrived here after trip of inspection near Lake TebO, in Pettis county, ten miles from Sedalia, the incomplete skeleton of a huge prehistoric animal, possibly D- nosaur, has been discovered by an in spection party.

 Much of it. including the ribs, has been washed away. l am not an ar chaeologist, but believe that we found the remains of prehistoric animal, and I shall tell scientific men about it when I return to Boston,"
 Small Dinosaur skeletons have been found in Kansas, but none has ever been reported found in Missouri.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Report of Business
 For Week.

K. G. Dun & Co.'s Report of Business
 For Week.
 NEW YORK, March 25.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Spring trade responds to seasonable weather, and shipments of merchan- disc have increased so rapidly that railway facilities are severely taxed. At many points there Is complaint of car and motive power shortage. and navigation on lakes and rivers at the business demands. The customary damage from floods has rendered many mills idle. and several minor events added to the number of unemployed but these temporary adverse features are more than offset by the resumption of outdoor work. especially in building operations and on the farms.
 Buyers are arriving in large numbers at primary markets, warm weather ac- celebrating preparations for Easter trade. Manufacturing activity con- tinues, the best news of the week com- ing from the iron and steel industry, where new records are constantly es- tablished.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for March amounted to S644l.S26. of which S2,4O3,897 were in manufacturing. s3,569, ,190 in trading and Si6s,3s0 iii other commercial lines. Failures for the week numbered 255 in the United States against 226 last year and 16 in Canada compared with 15 q year ago.

Brady, the Sweet Voiced Tenor, Ar-
 rested in New York.
 The jars that James Brady may have experienced when Irelands Own Band sounded a wrong note are nothing as compared to the jar he will experience If he ever calls upon Katie Hagerty again.
 Brady, who was secretary for the band during its engagement at the St Louis exposition. and who afterward toured the country with ten members of the organization and thirty-tive other musicians, was arrested yester- day on charges of misappropriating funds of the original Irish band.
 Before being bailed out Brady told of his troubles and mentioned that he was engaged to Katie Hagerty.
 Miss Hagerty lives with her mother, Mrs Stewart, in East Fifty-third street Mrs Stewart. when asked about the engagement. said:
 There never was any engagement, and Brady was treated just the same as the other members of the band, when they called at the house. If he dares to call again. though, his recep- ton will be very different In fact, it will be decidedly hot"
 Brady was arrested as he was about to board the steamship Cedric.

MEXICAN AMBASSADOR DEAD.
senOr Don Manuel de Aspiroz Sue.
 cumbs to Ge estritis.

senor Don Manuel de Aspiroz Sue. cumbs to Gestritis.
 WASHINGTON, March 25. - Senor Don Manuel de Azpiroz, Mexico's first ambassador to the United States, died at the Mexican embassy at ten minutes to Q o'clock last night. surrounded by the members of his family. Although a sick man since last fall the ambas- sador's death was due to relapse caused by exposure on inauguration day. Against the advice of his physi- clans Mir. Azpiroz left his sickroom on March 4 last and attended the inaugu ral ceremonies at the capitol, where he came near fainting.
 For years the ambassador has suf- fered from gastritis, and this weak ened his heart. His death was unac- companied by suffering.
 The imperial house of Austria has always taken the position that Senor AzpirOz, through his connection with the court martial of Maximilan, was in part responsible for the latter's exc cution, and during the early days of the service of Mir. Azpiroz here this fact proved of keen embarrassment to himself and the Austrian representa- tive. Finally. however. it was arrang- ed that when brought together at off cial functions these two diplomats should exchange formal greetings. This. however. was not until an embar- rassing Incident had occurred at the White House during the administration of President Mckinley, when the Mexi- can ambassador was assigned to escort to the dining room the wife of the Austrian ambassador. and the latter felt compelled to decline. The ambas- sador is survived by his wife, his daughters. Sonora Dona Luz de Azpi. roz de Perez Rivera and Sonora Belen de Azpiroz. and his son. Senor Don Rodrigo de Azpiroz, second secretary of embassy.
 This message was sent to Mexico last night by President Roosevelt: To President D.az. City of Mexico:
 "For my countrymen and in my name I offer heartfelt coincidence upon the death of Ambassador Azpiroz.'

THE STREET SWEEPER.
Taken From lts Resting Place Yestsr.
 day all Ready for Use.

The street sweeper was out yester- day and brushed aside some Of the filth that has clung to the paved streets for over half year. No mat ter what administration succeeds the present one, everybody hopes that it will not regard street cleaning as q secondary matter. It is no injustice to state that even when there were no paved streets in Waterbury, the public ways never were in such poor condition as they were during the past winter and the one that preceded it. and it is doubtful if anything would be done to clean now if the powers that be had not become alarmed, lest the city became plague stricken on ac- count of the foul-smlling pools in al- most every part of the town, not in back yards or front yards, but on the public thoroughfares. Example teach es better than precept, and officials that are constantly nagging private in divlduals about sanitary conditions on their premises cannot expect the best results while people can point to the streets and show them something far more objectionable than can be found elSeWnefe.
 The cleaning business should be pushed, but the authorities will not be in position to enforce the ordinance covering this matter with good grace so long as the streets are little better than cesspools of filth. A great deal Of money has been spent op the streets the past few months, but even so the results are far from satisfac- tory. Whether this is due to insuf- ficient funds or lack of method is a question every man is at liberty to de eide according to his own notion, but there is no room for differences of opinion regarding the general dissatis- faction. Why, the paved streets were in worse condition all winter than the dirt roads.

JUDGE COLE TALKS.
He Gives the Rank csmmissionsrs .
 Going Over.

Attorney E. F. Cole made some startling statements in the superior court yesterday regarding the bank commissioners, which would make those very important officials mere figureheads who don't know the first thing about the business they were appointed and sworn to do.
 It was during discussion of de- murrer in the case of the WatertOwn Savings bank against its ex-treasurer, R. H. MattoOn, and his bOndsmen the remarks were made The plaint- if demurred to the defendants an swer, which was to the effect that the bank directors fraudulently ac- cepted security from the defendants for MattOon while they knew that he had taken. large sums of money from the bank.
 How were the defendants to know that Mattoon had taken this money?" asked Attorney Cole. '',rhey had no means of finding out anything regarl- ing how Mattoon stood. According to the report of the bank commissioners, the banks funds were all right, but were they? Subsequent events showed they were not, that Mir Mat toon had taken big sums for his own use. The bank commissioners are supposed to know how the banks stand, but how can they find out? Supposing they find two notes among the assets of bank, do they know whether the notes are worth any thing or not? Why. of course not. They merely take the word of the bank directors for it and let it go at that. Do they inquire into the sol vency of parties who owe money to the banks? Of course they don't, and so I say the defendants in this case had no knowledge of MattoOn's standing in regard to the bank"
 The court took the papers and re- served decision.
