WATER POWER co.
Propsrty Annsxsd Dy Railway and
 Lighting Company.

After long negotiations for its pur- chase, the New Milford Water Power Co has been annexed by the Connectl- cut Railway and Lighting Co, but de tails as to the manner in which the deal was, brought to head are not forthcoming.
 It is understood that the long delay over the deal was entirely question of price and that the purchaser finally made what it said was a final offer, which was accepted by the power company. w. G. Bushnell of New Ha- ven, president of the New Milford Water Power Co, was communicated with at Branford last night, but he re- fused to talk about the deal. He was asked if the report, published in a New Haven Sunday paper, that he and Samuel c. Moorehouse, secretary and treasurer, had divided $1,OOO,OOO in profits on the deal. was true and he replied that 1t was deliberate lie and one that ,he would take pains to show was false
 During the deal opposition devel- Oped, it is said, from the Consolidated Railway, which looked upon the prop erty as desirable inasmucn as it would have placed the company in a position of selling power to It's chief competitor for trolley business in Con- necticut. The New Milford company had 3O-year contract to furnish pow CT to the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go at $13O,O00 a year.
 At the last session of the general assembly, the New Milford company was authorized to issue bonds to the amount of: 100000, of which Sl.OO0.- GOO was to be applied to refund exist ing bonds.
 The plant of the New Milford con- pany is located at Bulls Bridge on the HOusatonic river in Litchfield county. The power is transmitted to Ia maxi mum distance of 55 miles for the oper- atiOn of trolley cars and for lighting purposes It goes into Waterbury and Cheshire and as far as New Britain.

IN Sc0vlLL's DITCH
This Dangerous Spot Claimed An.
 sthsr Victim Saturday Night.

Jeremiah Dowd, aged 3S years, was drowned Saturday night in ScovilPs ditch. The body was discovered yes terday morning by party of young sters who were on their way to see a ball game. When found tufts of grass were clutched in his hands, showing that the man made desperate effort to save himself. He lived in the James Cluney place, short distance from the ditch, and, his sister, Mrs Patrick Me Kenna, supposed he had gone fishing. Besides Mrs McKenna he leaves two sisters, Mrs John Murphy and Mrs James Ieary. He was for many years an employe of the Scovill MantfactEr- ing Go, and later worked at the Chase rolling mill. He was member of Court Linden, F. of A. The suppOsi- tion is that he was walking along the bank and slipped into the water. It is a dangerous spot and like other death traps of the kind should not be all lowed to exist in any part of the city
 The funeral will take place at 9:1o o'clock tomorrow morning with mass of requiem at the Sacred Heart church and interment in Calvary cem- etery,

POLITICAL POINTERS.
War Has Dssn Declared Between
 Carter and Laskin Followers.

War has been declared between the followers of Captain Carter and W. J.
 Larkin at the clock shop. It appears that the political committee indorsed
 MT Larkin and as MT Carter Is also a prominent member of the committee his friends thought that they should have kept their hands out of 1t and let the matter be fought out at the primary. As result of this bad blood MT Car ter has resigned as chairman of the committee and it Is hinted that he does not intend to have any more to do with it. The whole row was precipi- tated over George M. Beach's mantle as leader of the republican forces in the aldermanic chamber, who has been promoted to the office of superinten- dent of the police department The shop committee gave this matter q great deal of consideration and after long and mature deliberatiOn it was decided that the factory had no man more worthy to don the garmest than w. J. Larkin. Mir Carter and his friends don't look at things from the standpoint of majority of the con- mittee and unless they are called off they will put a few rifts in the mantle before Mir Larkin gets hold of it. The knowing ones say that peace confer ence is being talked of and that as soon as MT Kellogg gets home from the shore representatives of both par ties will be summoned together. and if this happens the result will be awaited with almost as much impor- tance as that of the Japan Russian af- fair now on at Portsmouth. Like the hussian and Jap envoys, if the local peacemakers fail to come to terms among themselves, they, too, may con- slider the matter of sufficient impor- tance to invoke the intervention of President Roosevelt. and in this way the whole of us will have the pleasure of seeing the distinguished citizen who presides over the destinies of this great nation. But it is believed that the row will not be settled by arbitra- ton. Carter is fighter and Larkin is no coward, so that everything points to the liveliest scrap ever seen in local politics.
