COT OUT INJUNCTION
R. K. Brown Does Not want Paving
 Blocks on Sidewalk.

Robert K. Brown has started after the Connecticut Railway and Lighting CO Yesterday afternoon he obtained an injunction from Judge Cowell which. unless speedily dissolved. will greatly harass the company. It re- strains the company from putting its conduits and wires under ground by preventing any representative, servant or agent of the company from digging up the street in the vicinity of Mir Browns property on East Main street
 Mir Browns reason for taking this vigorous action Is founded on a fear that his tenants would suffeT if the entrance to their stores was obstructed by paving blocks piled along the side walk.
 A similar contention arose Between Mir Brown and the city at the time the trolley company raised the trolley tracks and put in sidIngs on East Main street. The matter was taken to court and Mir Brown was defeated. the court determining that the issue was not one for a permanent injunction, and that if afr Browns property was injured or if he suffered loss by reason of the paving blocks being on his property he could sue cvilly.

HAMILTON PARK
Improvement Being fiads--An Ideal
 Place Next Summer

Ine entrance to Hamilton park fs not so attractive now as month or two ago since the beautiful flowers Which have added much to the place during the summer have all been taken up because of the coming of old Jack Frost. The concrete bridge IS now completed and makes a very neat looking structure. It is very odd and few of the kind are to be seen in this vicinity. Superintendent Walker and his men are now engaged in re- pairing the roads near the ice house. During the summer they have caused much trouble to drivers because of their poor condition and now they fare being raised to level with the plank road which will cause them to be raised about four feet. If eyery- thing goes along smoothly things will be booming in the park the com ing year. Plans have been made for the erection of fine bathing place for adults which will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. It will be supplied with all up-to-date bathing apparatus including shower baths. both hot and cold. An attendant will " VII hdilO at dll ClUlGS to see LlaB the place Is kept as 1t should be, that is if the apprpriation of $5,O00 is made, as 1t no doubt will be.
 Another addition to the park which will be of interest to all lovers of sport is the probability of having an athletic field there the coming year. The park has one Of the best pieces of land that can be found in this vicinity for the making of an athletic field. And the beauty of it is that 1t can he fixed up at very little expense. 1t is right near the car tracks and would make an ideal site for a baseball field. Waterbury has been without a suitable field for athletic events for such long time that the news that the city may be first to furnish us with new one is indeed welcome in- formation. Superintendent Walker thinks the land in question would make one of the best fields in the state and hopes to see the board make an appropriation for it. Things are now being put in shape for the winter sea- son.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Man Given Fine For Row at Salvation
 Army Quarters.

The row was all about Christian ity," said John J. Robinson in the wit ness stand in the city court to-day in telling his side of the story to Judge Burpee of row at the Salvation ar my shelter last evening. You see, Major Corry and got talking about Christianity and because he could not stick me he said we were all buns. Was l drunk? Yes sir, I was good and drunk.p
 Officer Mansfield said that when he got to the shelter he found Robinson standing over the prostrate form of a man and another man whom Robinson had just knocked out was lying on q bench. Blood was on the floor and the men were bleeding. The man on the bench had been driven almost through window by Robinson's blow. Off, cer Myers said Robinson was evident ly a travelling bum. He saw him on the streets election day bumming drinks. For intoxication Robinson was fined $10 and costs and for breach of the peace $20 and costs.
 Thomas Hoar was fined $5 and costs. He was arrested this morning about o'clock by Officer Mansfield for intoxication
 Yesterday Mrs Nellie Cleary got drunk and accused Mrs Hennessey of stealing her pocketbook containing her two weeks wages. Not only that, she knocked her down, jumped all over her, blacked the old woman's eye and jabbed her with an umbrella. Mrs Ct1no scoid n lost hhrs ynff1nnt but as to accusing Mrs Hennessey of taking 1t she was not sure. For breach of the peace she was fined S7 and costs and for intoxicatioR $5 and costs.
 Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock John Pelka of Oak and Ash streets, left his work and proceeded to go home. He was under the influence of liquor when he got there and he re- moved the pictures from the wall. broke them and burned the frames. He then took down the kitchen stove pipe and started a fire in the stove, filling the house with smoke. He has not been doing right by his wife of late although this was the first time she has had him arrested Pelka's explanation was that he thought he was going to move. He was fined 50 and costs and if he misconducts him self again he will go to jail for thirty days without further trial.
 Edward Sharpe, the hero of the hut on the Porter lot at the junction of East Main and Cole streets, was again before the court charged with intoxi- cation and breach of the peace. The disturbance was at his home. Officer Halpin testified he found him in the act of making a blow at his mother. Sharpe told such pathetic story that sentence was suspended.
 Cornelius Moynihan was fined $o and costs for intoxication.

KEEPS HIS SECRET.
Voodoo Doctor Martin Dies Without
 Making a Statement.

Making Statement.
 Hartford, Oct. 5-Dr Harry H. Mar. tin, the toodoo doctor of the colored settlement at Hayden Station, died without revealing the secret of his marvellous cures. Dr Martin died of heart disease week ago and a search of his possessions does not show the kind of herbs he used in his treatment. The member of his family regret that he did not leave some of his recipes. as they believe they would have had a good source of revenue from them. They said that Dr Hurd. who made similar cures near New Haven, was offered S1,000 by Dr Converse of New Haven if he would sell his secret for curing consumption, but he declined.
 The greatest feat that Dr Martin ever performed was the taking of a scorpion from the foot of James Thompson, a colored man who lives a short distance from the Martins. Jus. how the scorpion got into his foot or just how 1t was taken out, no ons seemed to know.
 Mrs Martin said that she had ac-  cidentally discovered a box of his remedies once when he had left them out in a room by mistake. The box contained pills about the size and shape of a bantam's egg and some were black and some were yellow. Members of the family had at times caught glimpses of a mysterious small green box, but what it contained no one knew. This was supposed to be the stuff he rubbed on Thompson's foot when the scorpion jumped out.
 It was said that Dr Martin did not like the business of curing people. although he liked to do good. He preferred to cook and he was said to be an excellent meat cook. He under stood the business of cutting meat. as he had been steward for many years on merchant vessels. It was while he was with the ship and when be was in the West Indies that he learned the voodoo remedies, but he never gave any details about what he had learned there.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

A large number from this section attended the Danbury fair to-day.
 Thomas Hurley of Bank street, who has been visiting in Litchfield, has returned.
 -Janitor Tiernan of the Bank street school is putting his trees into condi- ton to stand the winds of winter.
 George Tiernan who has been sick the past five weeks with typhoid fever, has resumed his work at the watch factory.
 The B. A. c. fair attracted another large crowd last evening. The stage entertainment was good and dancing was enjoyed by all prevent. If you have not as yet visited the fair you should do so.
 The Consolidated road is carrying on their work in Brooklyn at rapid gait and to judge from the looks of things in the neighborhood of the Por- ter street crossing one would imagine that all things in the district were about to be turned topsy turvy. The houses which the company bought on Simon street are being sold and moved away. Several of them have already gone. They were sold for $150 with an additional $500 to meet the cost of moving them. At the present time two of them are on their way to new sites. One is a short distance below the rail- road crossing while the other is in front of the Porter street school Much difficulty was experienced in turning the corner with the latter one and for a time it looked as if a telegraph pole would have to be moved. Work was also begun to-day driving piles for the purpose of raising the tracks in the spring which will eliminate the grade crossing The company will be on this job for about two weeks.
 If the parties who handled the broncho sale in the city some weeks ago should come within sight of some of the purchasers they would be com pelled to run for their lives to escape the wrath of those who were duped and bought animals which if they knew what they were would not be given room in barn. The bronchos have caused large amount of trouble ohu CACltSutuL HI dll pdTIS or Ile GUY and Brooklyn has received its share. Yesterday afternoon Joseph Langdon, bartender for Anthony Stackos, who runs a saloon in the Murphy block, started on drive down South Leonard street with one of these would-be horses hitched to buggy. As usual, everything went along smoothly for a short time, but the canary started its pranks when it thought it could do a good job to the turnout. It succeeded only too well for the owner and he was not compelled to do any driving on the way home, as there was nothing left but the beast and parts of the wagon.
 It is now time to think of replacing broken window glass. It is easier to set it now than in cold weather.

THE HAMILTON STORE
Ladies Enthusiastic Over Fine Disc
 play of Fall Styles.

The ladies who attended to-day the opening of the new store of Hamilton & Go, dealers in ladies' outer garments at 129 Bank street, were enthusiastic in their announcement that the city had now a store that would supply its patrons with up-to-date clothes at most moderate prices. While there was a generous display of attractive gowns, waists, skirts, etc, of expen- sive designs and materials, a very large proportion of the stock included suits, skirts, waists, etc, of fine ser viceable first grade materials at prices generally asked for inferior goods.
 The store itself was an ideal place fin which to look and select pretty things. The green and white color scheme that was used in fitting up the interior was most inviting and this was. further carried out in the floral decorations of green. Palms, ferns and green plants were distribu- ted throughout the store and made the interior look particularly gay.
 Among the suits one particularly at- tractive one was of red broad cloth, cut in the long coat style and trimmed only with velvet of the same tone. Then there were others both in the long and short coat, in blues. greens, greys and the whole range of pretty serviceable mixtures. One of the special features of the store was the broad cloth suit of the best material and workmanship for only $20. These suits were in several different designs and colorlngs and were among the most attractive in the entire stock.
 Among the waists there were sev- eral of plain taffeta hemstitched hand somely. In more elaborate designs there were those of delicate shades with yokes. of white lace. one exceed ingly pretty one being of black with a yoke of cream lace. The white ba- tiste waists embroidered in different colors. some in blue, pink, red and green, were exceedingly dainty and at S295 each were easily among the best bargains of the opening.
 Among the coats and separate skirts as we'll as the petticoats, were to be noticed the nobblest designs of the season. modestly priced so as to he within the reach of all. Tn no depart ment of the store was this more mo- ticeable than among the furs, where the assortment was by far the largest ever seen in this city and at prices that were a temptation to buy even on a warm day. The various other denartments of the store were visited hv crowds of buyers to-day and cor dial invitation is extended to every oue to attend the opening which will continue through the week.

Committed to the Asylum

The first case in this county
under the Epperson law, by the
terms of which a person addicted
to the immoderate use of alcohol
ic stimulants may be committed
to the asylum for the insane,
came before the county board last
Friday. Michael ]. Clancy who
resides in Stella was examined
and as result of the inquiry was
committed to the asylum until
such time as he shall have been
cured of the appetite for strong
drink. Mr.. Clancy is a man OF
means and a good citizen under
ordinary circumstances, but at
times seems to loose all control of
himself and although the case
presents many pathetic features,
it was deemed best for himself
and his family that he be placed
where he would have an oppor-
tunitv to overcome the appetite
for liquor.
