PUTTING IN COAL.
Judge Cowell Said He Would Have
 the People Up for Contempt.

Whoever has the coal contract for the city hall, and 1t seems to make no difference what concern it is, the time always selected for filling the bins is court hour in the morning. This morning the business of the court was carried on for three quar- ters of an hour to the accompaniment of most inharmonious noises, to say the least. With difficulty could the officers of the court hear what was being said on the witness stand Off, cer s. Mccarthy closed the few win- dows and thereby shut out the little fresh air that sometimes contrives to creep in and save those inside from suffocation. But that did not shut out the thunderous downfalls of coal in- to the metal chute. At length even patience of Judge Cowell was exhausted. Tt seems" said he, "that the city hall people ought to get in the coal at some hour other than g o'clock when they ought to know court Is in session. Yet 1t seems to be the favorite hour for putting in the coal. It Is impossible to carry on court with this terrible noise. If were sitting here as often as Judge Burpee would have these people up for contempt of court. and would also have chain put up on each side of the street to prevent noisy wagons passing through while court is in ses- sion.'- Captain Ramon was the dis patched to sn66 the coal men off and peace reigned for the rest of the time while court was in session.

 Head and Went Into Room.

Syracuse, N. Y., May 22.-Chan cellor James R. Day of Syracuse uni versity rescued two servants in his home from suffocation to-day. Fire broke out in the chancellor's home at an early hour. Mrs Day aroused the chancellor. who called the fire department by telephone and then answered the screams .of servants on the third floor The smoke was dense and Dr Day put blanket over his head. He reached the girls, who were panic-stricken, and led them to safety. One had gone on the roof. The chancellor is none the worse for his experience and received callers on his lawn. His den, containing part of his library, was destroyed. The fire was caused by a defective chimney. The loss was $5,000.

VOTING MACHINES.
Will Be Demonstrated in This City
 Tomorrow for Officials Benefit.

Will Waterbury have voting ma chimes for its next election or viii 1t continue along in the same old way as it has been for many years back? It looks as if 1t were up to Aldermen Noonan, Goss and Larkin, to decide the question for they are the com mittee which is investigating to sec whether the machines, in their opin- lon would be good thing for the city.
 The above named men were to go to Hartford today to look over some machines which are on exhibition in that city. but the firm which is show ing its goods there to-day will come to Waterbury tomorrow to give dem- onstration for the benefit of the con- mittee. consequently the trip to the Capitol city did no. materialize.
 There is an appropriation of S3.600 for voting machines and 1t Is more than likely that if the sugesgtions of the committee amount to anything the city will have a few voting ma chimes af the next election. One of the members of the committee said to-day that six machines might be purchased if every thing moves along in satisfactory manner A voting machine costs in the neigfborhood of s6n0. so the appropriation would just about he sufficient should 1t he decld. ef to purchase six machines. one for each ward in the city.

OFFICERS IN BAD LIGHT.
Have Been Concealing Actual Amount
 of Fees They Receive.

Of Fees Tncy hecehVc.
 { Washington, May 22.-One of the unexpected results of the consular reorganization act now being placed in operation is the discontinue of some consular officers who have been concealing the actual amount of the unofficial fees of their offices. The practice was not dishonest in one sense. for the consuls are in many cases permitted to retain all such fees: but for the sake of the records of the department and in order to en- able the officials to know the state of business of the consulates, 1t was re, quired that all such fees should be accounted for Some consults feared that to establish the amount of such fees they received would be to make the full returns Their punishment came when congress passed the re orxanixatloh act on the basis of sub stltution of lump salaries for the SnGnbiInod salary and fec system Of componoation There was no intention of reducing the compensation of many of the cOnoulG hut 1t has naturally followed that the consuls who failed to return their full fees have suffer ed substantial reduction.
