TOWN PLOT TROLLEY.
Mind of Service That Would Beneil,
 the Workinfmar.

People ill all parts of Waterbury and especially residents of Town Plot are interested ill the petition for trol- ley service ill that district. In nearly all parts of the city you find working people who own building lots on Grandview Heights and Ben Mohr who claim they would build and locate there if they could ride to and from their homes on the trolley cars. This is the kind of trolley extension that Waterbury wants and the board of al dermen and the others who want to give Waterbury real boom, one that would be felt by the working people, should bestir themselves and see that the company builds and operates a road there as soon as possible. They shouldn't be satisfied with promise from the company to take hold of that project later on. Usually that means long time and in most cases the pe- titioners and their needs are lost sight of in the mad scramble to get hold of territory that might possibly pass into the hands of competitors. For the present, Waterbury can spend all the money it can spare for pleasure on the Cheshire line. Let the next trolley extension in this town be designed to be something which will prove benefit to the wage earners, many of whom may not be able to spare the cost of a trip to Sayin Rock. but would find it to their advantage to pay fare to and from their places of enjoyment. The Town Plot people have good case and they deserve all the assistance the board of aldermen and others can give them. By the way, wouldn't it be in order for the Waterbury Business Mems association to help their neighbours in the western part of the town who are endeavoring to help themselves? The business men can do something in this direction, the aldermen can put their shoulders to the wheel and do some effective work, but great deal depends on the petitioners themselves. If they mean business they will have trolley service in the near future.

MAY SAVE LIVES.
Change In Weathsr Boon to Sui3sr.
 inf Humanity.

Some people are finding fault about the sudden change in the weather De cause it upset their calculations to at tend outings, while others are delight- ed over it and claim that it was the means of saving the lives of hundreds of little children who were on the point of succumbing to cholera infan- tum. The mercury dropped as low as 5S yesterday and it is doing stunts about the same point to-day, although some of the weather prophets expect cd that it would be much warmer. The cold snap may have caused great deal of inconvenience to pleasure seekers. but it is blessing to young and old who are confined to sick chambers. and for their sakes those who are able to get out and can afford to wait until favorable conditions pre- sent themselves for their outings should welcome the change. The say ing of one life will more than make amends for all the worry people nave been put to who have been dlsalpoint- ed in their trolley rides and automobile trips through the country. Anything at all to stay the ravages of the grlM reaper and leave us the little ones and the old ones. too. The picnlcs will come off later on and probably many will be able to take part in the festivi- ties who would be in their graves b! that time if the Ruler of the universe had not come to the rescue and by heading the thermometer in the oppo- site direction did more for suffering humanity than could be accomplished by any human agency. This cold spell won't last much longer and while 1t IS with us people who are in the enjoy ment of good health will be able to keep warm much easier than the sick could keep cool if the thermometer was up in the nineties. A man who has his health should be willing to pu1 up with anything in the line of weath- CT conditions so long as he knows it is beneficial to less fortunate mortals than he.

CROKER HEARS OF ELOPEMEN'r.
Daughter Hasn't Notified Him, but He

Daughter Hasn't Notified Him, but He
 Doesn't Seem Much Disturbed.
 London, Aug 16.-Richard Croker told Sun correspondent yesterday at the Carlton hotel, where he is enter taining Andrew Freedman of New York, that he knew nothing whatever with regard to the alleged elopement of his daughter Florence from Aix-les- Balns with an Italian named San Reno, except what he had seen in print He had received no intimation that his daughter was on her way to obtain his consent to her marriage He said:
 Tt seems unlikely, after running off that way. that they would ask any body's consent to their marriage
 he correspondent asked him:
 Will you give your parental con sent and forgivenessT'
 Mir Croker adjusted his cigar in the corner of his mouth and slowly re piled:
 "I have nothing to say, as do not know the circumstances. But l have always believed that when yodng pep- pie are in that mood it is best to gi,.' consent, as, if you don't-why, they get married anyhow
 Mir Croker refused to discuss the possibility that his daughter might ar rive in London and have the marriage performed here.

MOVING BUILDINGS.
Railroad Co. Must Get Rid of Tone.
 ment Houses.

The moving of houses has become quite business in the Brooklyn dis trict and more of it will be done from now on than ever before. The rail road company has q lot of nice tene- ment houses on it's newly acquired property which it does not want, and as there are lots of sites nearby it is only natural that people would want permission to move them. The city government is willing to grant such permission, but the boards want to secure the city against accidents that might occur while the buildings are ill the street and also not. to cause toe much inconvenience by the blocking of public ways. This is all right, but it should not be carried too far. A suit able bond with reasonable per diem penalty for every day the building re- mains on the street beyond the time mentioned in the license will meet the case. It costs something to get s home in Waterbury and if number of people can get hold of these houses er reasonable terms the officials should do all in their power to help them out. Some of the streets in the neighbOr. hood of where the moving is going OF gre short and it would not put man to much inconvenience to take some other way for few days. The situa- tion would be quite different if the moving were to be done along some such thoroughfare as Bank or South Main streets, where the trolley cars and other vehicles want all the full width nf Gn ctr o11 ho would be pity to tear down one of these houses so long as there is such splendid opportunities to remove them to suitable lots in the same neighbor hood. It is the chance of lifetime for some and no doubt the board of public works appreciates this fact and Will not act arbitrarily with any of the petitioners.
