Under the head of Waste that must be
carried away by the garbage man. In
the new specifications, by the rules OF
which the contractor who takes up the
work for the five years after December
will be compelled to abide, the va
rious terms used to designate waste are
defined
Garbage, it is said. means all refuse
CT animal and vegetable matter, which
mas peen used as food for man Except
CySttr ana clam shells from business
places, and all animal and vegetable
matter which was intended 10 be SO
used. and includes food condemned by
t me Health Department and offered TO
this CONTRACTOR
When fines are imposed under the
present contract it is done only after
complaints are made, and IN every case
the complaint finds its way under one of
tour heads in the records of that branch
OF the street cleaning department 1t is
either Request" Doubtful House
holder or Contractor"
The first means that a request has
been made for the extension Of service
to some new dwelling, or for some
change in the service. The second in
dlcates that the inspector has been I'M
able to determine whether the cause
complained about was the fault of the
contractor or of the householder. All
complaints entered under the subhead
contractor mean that just that many
fines, must be paid at the end OF the
month. The final decision in many a
case rests with the testimony concern
ing the service given by neighbors in
| az many houses as can be visited.
On April is the summer schedule
viii go into effect, and-as the contractor
said this morning. that will mean the
immediate addition to the service of
about six wagons.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April Tor
ganized ten years ago by thirteen con-
genial spirits who derided supersti-
ton, Bridgeport's so-called suicide
club has been dissolved by the death
of its president and last remaining
member, Daniel Loesser, and he was the
only one who did not die by his own
hand.
There has always been more or less
mystery around the associations pro-
ceedings, but the details of its ferma-
ton are well known. It's membership
was made up largely Of German meri-
cans, who met in the evenings in yari-
Gus resorts to drink beer and play
piiiGchle, and it was at one of these
merry meetings that the talk of a
suicide club was started.
Limited to Thirteen.
The suggestion was accepted and it
was decided to limit the membership to
thirteen. Not long after that first
night only twelve men assembled al the
appointed place. Announcement was
MADE that John Mckenzie, who had just
returned from Switzerland, had shot
himself.
Whatever shock or surprise this may
have been to the other members. it did
not disrupt the socity George Leaven-
worth. city editor of the Bridgeport
Farmer, was member, and on the
morning that a humorous article on the
club appeared in the paper he was found
dead With an empty bottle that had con-
tanned carbolic acid, lying beside him.
FOR year there were no more breaks
In the ranks. Then Victor Hester
hagen went into his cellar one day and
shot himself. Alexander Heathering-
ION was the fourth to go He shot him
self Jack Eichel, blacksmith, followed
within brief time in the same manner
Walter Nickel, a painter, hanged him
self.
Fate of Last Two Members.
A few more weeks passed and Wal
lace ZepR saloonkeeper, was found
drowned, and John Meyer shot himself
In his meat market Gustav Wolf. a
diamond expert, chose a similar manner
OF death, and about year later Michael
Horyat drank carbolic acid. Several
years went by without further reduc-
tons, and then Oscar Beers, who had
twice tried to kill himself. succeeded
with a razor
This left only two members, George
cent. Wagner shot himself in Il New
York hotel last fall. Until then Mr.
Loeser had often laughingiy admitted
That he was member of the organiZa
tlou, but said it was all joke After
Wagner's death. however, he stoutly
denied that there had been any such
club His death occurred last night from
natural causes. He was fifty-four years
old, native Off Germany and is sur
vived by a widow and FIVE children
