Alexander &irard, aged A years, a native of Quebec, Canada, but for the past five years residing in the United States, died shortly after 6 o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Waterbury hospital from the effects of injuries re- ceived earlier in the afternoon by fall ing from the fourth story of the new structure now being erected by the Farrel Foundry and Machine Go on Bank street. MT Girard was carpen- ter in the employ of the Torrington Builiding Co. While walking along the top floor Foreman Chagnot tripped and fell to the second story and in making an effort to get hold of him before he went down Girard missed his aim and was precipitated headlong to the ground, striking on a pile of boards. fracturing his skull and receiving other injuries. He was removed to the hospital, where he fingered but a few hours. He was unconscious all the time. MT Chagnot suffered a broken arm and leg and was removed to his home in Torrington. The dead mans wife and other relatives came here from Winsted this morning and this afternoon the remains were taken to Winsted by Undertaken Mulviile, and tomorrow they will be shipped to his former home in Canada. where the funeral will be held Monday.

the guard to go over to the Spiritualist camp! Nuff said.
 The greatest treat in camp yet was Private McCarthy's cake John main tains his mother sent it. However, here's to her whoever she was.
 The color guard yesterday were all G and A men, consisting of Privates c. Byrnes and J. Driscol of Company c; Sergeant Strain, Privates Morse head, Korngeibel, Henderson of Com pany A. Private Donahue of Com. pany G is color guard to-day.
 Co c won their first game in camp with the Co M team of Torrington, in one of the best games ever played there. Lyman, the ex-state league pitcher pitched for Co NJ and was knocked out of the box in the fifth in- ming, Thompson taking his place. and he also was batted hard. The Co NJ team is made up partly from the Coe Brass team.
 Phalen pitched star game and ev- cry man on the Co G team gave him fine support. All the members of the w VI lCuiu NSlC CdTIleu Oll lue ueftl on the shoulders of their packers who had won much money on the game.
 The batting of Slavin, Cleary, Noon- an and SOnnenberg were features of the game. The members of Co NJ team backed their team to a stand still and lost much money. Captain Thompson wants another game for Friday but Manager Cronan may can- eel the game he has booked for Fri day and give .him another game We'd nesday Co G played the strong Co l. team of Meriden.
 There has been nothing doing here this afternoon. It has been raining very hard and the guard has been called in, but will be sent out again about 8 o'clock. The water is very deep around the cooks quarters and they had to get supper in their bare feet. The baseball game for today was postponed until tomorrow. The men had to spend the afternoon in their tents, singing and playing cards. Wilfred Blandger and John Kelly of Waterbury are visitors in camp to. day.
 The following is the score:

BENEDIcT's POND.
Neiihbors in that Vicinity Say Con.
 dition is Unsanitary.

Property owners and others who live in the vicinity of Benedict's pond are anxious to have the department of health improve the sanitary condition in that neighborhood and hope the board will soon take up their petition and act favorably. They want the water confined to one channel so that there will be constant howage there all the time, instead of having 1t spread over large territory half the time and some of it dry the balance of the season. To be sure some headway in this direction is being made on the west side of the pond, but the process is slow and the people feel that most of them will be dead and buried long before permanent relief will come if the work does not go ahead faster in the future than 1t has in the past. That portion of the river bed that dries up during the summer months is very swampy and emits an offensive odor which property owners claim not only threatens the health of the neighbor- hood, but also depreciates the value of real estate. They don't want arbitrary measures employed, but they do feel that it is high time steps were taken to abate the nuisance and give them the protection they are entitled to. The conditions that exist there have been source of trouble for many years, but it appears to be worse now than ever before, at least the people who live nearby say so, and all of them are beginning to be somewhat impatient at what they term the painfully slow movements of the health authorities.

SLEEPING PLACES OF HOGS
What Should Be Provided for the Swine During the Summer Time
 as We'll as Winter.

The sleeping places of hogs should be under cover at all times of year.
 Build the hog house 90 that the hogs cannot root under the walls and make way for rats and mice
 Cement floors. though expensive, are to be found very servicea5le in the hog pen. as they prevent the hogs from roofing under the timbers. Such floors should be we'll covered with bedding
 More pigs die at farroving time than at any other. and for this reason all useful appliances possible about the pens should be adopted
 The portable hog house is not being used extensively in many of our states. especially. in those states where hog cholera prevails.
 A portable hog house should be large enough for half dozen full grown hoss.
 The sides and roof of the POrtsble hog house should be perfectly tight A movable floor is a good thing to have. but it need not be used in sum- meg

THE GROWTH OF LONDON.
Not Very Different from That of Many of Our Ameri-
 can Cities.

The suburban builder has certain fixed and resolute notions. To begin with, says the London Spectator, he greatly dislikes tree. A well-grown tree is too large for him; so long as 1t is left standing it makes it impossible for him to utilize every square inch of the ground he has acquired on which to build houses. His first step. therefore, in dealing with the large pieces of ground which come into the market from time to time in . growing neighborhood. and which originally formed the park or woods of what was once a single country estate. is to cut down the trees. The older and grander trees perhaps cannot be removed mere ly with an ax and spade: these he just blasts out of the ground.
 Next. everything must be like every thing else. All the roads must be of the same width and run in uniform di- rections; each house must resemble it's neighbor as far as possible, except that here Is a certain latitude allowed in the pattern picked out in yellow bricks on the background of red: or there may be several different styles in white wooden balconies. Each gar den. again. must measure 90 much by SO much: there must be 30 many feet in front of the house and so many behind; and after the garden is meas ured out: it has to be ipclosed with a wooden fence. of which the black kind is the worst. One by one the square black boardings announcing that this eligible residence is to be let or sold" disappear as the newly married city clerk and his bride come into occupa- tion: scarcely . year has gone by since the first brickload was driven into the corner of the hay field. ard another hideous addition has been made to the London suburbs.

POLITICAL POINTERS
Rsiistfars Will Hold Another Ssssion Tomorrow Afternoon and Evening.

The registrars will hold another seS sion tomorrow, commencing at noon and continuing until o'clock in the evening. If you want to vote at the coming primaries, and your name Is not already on the lists, attend to it tomorrow afternoon or evening. If not, you will be counted out and the battle will be pulled off without you. You will find yourself in the same pre- dictcnent provided your name is on both lists unless you call on the regis trars and say which party you wish to vote for. No straddling of the fence this time. If man doesn't want to show his hand he is at liberty to re- main away, but the law denies Him the privilege of keeping his name on both lists for the primaries and thus putting himself in position to make everybody believe that he helped him out. You've got to step into the field now and show your colors or take seat on the grand stand and watch the scrap from distance. This Is all right, too. A man who is afraid to take sides on any question is poor stick and would be just as apt to go one way as another regardless of the merits of the issue. Anyway. it is a good plan to register and be in posi- tion to participate in the primaries if you feel so disposed.
 Democrats of the fourth ward will hold meeting in the democratic head quarters Sunday night. It is expected that the attendance will be large as matters of interest to that district and to the public generally will be dis cussed. Such meetings are important and people who have something to say should go there and air their views.
 Democrats of the second ward held a meeting last night and appointed several committees to look after the interests of the party in that district. It was very enthusiastic session and the number of familiar faces in the crowd showed that things are work ing harmOniously in that ward It would seem from what was said by the different speakers that the demo- crats of the second ward are better organized this year than ever before. The ward has been thoroughly can vassed and democrats found ready for the fray with strong backing from republicans who long for the time when they will have an opportunity to give the business administration knockout blow.
