ANOTHER MAD DOC.
Bf | Number Of Other Dogs Before
 t Was Shot To-day.

A dog which undoubtedly was mad. judging from It's actions. has been throwing scare into the resi- dents of Wall street the past couple of days, so Charles vanorton, the owner. shot the animal this morn ing. Before it. was put to death 1t bit about twenty other dogs in the neighborhood, so Mir Vanorton said he thought he would kill 1t ere it had an opportunity to do any more dam age. This morning about o'clock the cur, which was a fox terrier, got away and Charlie was busy for the next half hour endeavoring to get a line on it. He finally cornered the canine and gave 1t dose of lead. The owner called at this office to-day and told the facts as mentioned so as the ~east end people would not think that his dog was still at large.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT FRIDAY. JULY 2o 19o6
HAS ITS OWN TROUBLES
Recent Storms Record Reahos as to
 Damage Done Telephone Wires.

The Southern New England Tele- phone Co has had its troubles of late, owing to the storms, and men who have been with the company twenty years say that they have had nothing in the past to compare with their July experiences. The company has had the most trouble with the long wire service extending through the country districts. Early in the month there were five of these severe storms west of the Connecticut river, occurring within sixty hours. That of Tuesday of last week and Tuesday of this week affected large part of the state and were particularly se- we're in Bridgeport, the Norwalks and Stamford, giving the company large amount of repair and clearance work.
 The five storms referred to make the hardest kind of work for the force of repair men. The clearing of the wires in the country was taken up without an hours delay after the first storm, but the work was not WHOLLY CuHplclcu Ucioi0 IL Adu eo U0 gone over again in the same districts and on the same lines on account of the damage done by the second storm. In the eastern section of the state there have been but two very severe storms during the present month, affecting principally localities in the neighborhood of Willimantic, Norwich and New London.
 The Southern New England has been obliged to keep its regular re- pair force constantly at work to ad- just the storm damages and 1t has also been obliged to call upon the construction force for assistance in restoring the long country lines in the service. The company has at present forty wire and pole gangs engaged in extending the lines and service throughout fifty-one ex- changes in the state. The amount of damage which can be done by a se- were storm may be imagined when 1t is learned that the telephone com pany has 100000 miles of wire in the state

MAD DOG IN DANBURY.
Officers Chase It in Auto-Man KillS
 It with a Stone.

Danbury, July 20--Danbury had mad dog scare upon its principal bus mess street yesterday morning which for time was a serious and alarm ing affair. The result has been that the people of the city are aroused over the lax manner in which people have been allowed to disobey the rule recently passed by the justices of the peace of the town requiring all dogs to be confined. Early yester- day morning large black and white shepherd dog appeared on one of the main business streets and began toact strangely. It ran about wildly. froth- ing at the mouth and snapping at people and biting other dogs. Com plaints began to pour into the police station and two officers were sent out with instructions to kill the dog. They found it then but a little way from the station. The first shots did not kill it and 1t ran along down the street, biting several other dogs on the way.
 The officers jumped into an auto mobile which was standing on the street and asked the owner to help them catch the dog. The machine easily caught up with the dog. which was biting another dog and the offi- cer shot successfully. The dog drop ped instantly, but when the officers went to pick up the body the animal jumped up and ran. although evi- dently nearly exhausted. A young man who saw the animal coming. and who was handy with stone. seized a good sized rock and hurled 1t at the dog. killing him. It is thought that at least twenty dogs were bitten and several people had narrow es- capes. During the past few days three cows belonging to w. H. Ferry of Elmwood district. Bethel. have died with symptoms which strongly indi- cate hydrophobia. !

RUMORS UNFOUNDED
The Men and Women Clerks in CU.
 Ian's Are Above Suspicion.

A great injustice has been done the saleswomen of the Curran Dry Goods Co by reports that have been going the rounds and which have taken material form in wild and fanciful dream of the reporters in the columns of our contemporaries.
 Four or five salespeople leaving on their vacation last week purchased some goods from their fellow clerks on credit and asked that the charges be kept in the various department books until their return rather than on the books in the office as they did not wish the debt to appear against them on their accounts. This irregu- larity was called to the attention of the firm. who questioned the people interested and all implicated quick ly explained the matter to the entire satisfaction of the firm who admin istered slight reprimand and in- formed the young ladies that their credit was good for anything they needed providing 1t was charged up in the regular way.
 The story has been in circulation about town as a most sensational af- fair, while in reality there was noth- ing to it, as proof of which all the employees of the Curran Dry Goods Co not on vacation or otherwise in- capacitated will be found at the re- spective places wearing their usual good natured countenances
 It is a sad commentary on hu- manity which is apparently anx- ious to point to, if not to provide" flaws in their fellow mems charac- ter.
 A Democrat reporter called upon Philip Curran who felt deeply the in- justice done the large force of men and women employed by him and whom he says are ladies and gentle men in every sense of the word. It is certainly unfortunate that the 100 clerks employed by this firm should be brought under cloud by actions of four or five minimizing, well-meaning girls who simply wish- ed to sport something new on vaca- tion which they had arranged to pay for when they returned.
 It is pretty mean world, when so many lend themselves to condemn ing others against whom they have no charge.

REPUBLICANS GET BUSY.
Massachusetts State Committee Gets ting Ready for Coming Campaign.

Boston, July 20.-Interest in the canvass for the choice of the next governor of Massachusetts which has already been started with an energy seldom in evidence in this state. was heightened to-day by the calling of a meeting of the republican state committee to make arrangements for the coming republican state conven- ton and the republican campaign. The meeting to-day was especially for the purpose of naming date. deciding upon a permanent conyen- ton chairman and appointing a chairman and four members at large of the committee on resolutions for the convention.
 The republican party leaders of the state have been induced to make an unusually early start in their cam paign for the election of state ticket by the activity of the demo- cratic leaders. especially by the atti. tude of District Attorney JoEn B. Moran. who has already received the prohibition nomination for governor, and who is an avowed and active can. didate for the regular democratic nomination. Mir Moran has already announced the platform upon which he wishes to stand and has ex. pressed the opinion that the naming of a fusion ticket by a democrstIS convention would best subesrye the interests of the democratic party. The candidacy Of the district attor- ney, 1t is alleged. does not meet with the favor of the element of the e0n- servatfye wing of the party. some of whose members have suggested Con gressman John A. Sullivan of the eleventh district as probable Can iidate for the democratic nomination
 It is understood that Governor Curtis Guild. IT. vill be a candidate for re-aomination this year by the republicans

MAKES REPORT ON
OUTFALL SEWER
ATTORNEY HANDS 1T UP TO
OFFICIALS
Board of Public Works Asked to
Clear Up Sewer Problems-De-
clare Contractors Were Over
paid $4,000

The outfall sewer mudd'e is now all
ready for the board of public works to
clear up. The city attorney rendered
his long delayed report on the con-
dition of affairs yesterday to the coun-
Gil and the council passed it on to the
board of public works.
In this report appears the first official
statement that has so far been made to
the effect that Stansbury & Powell
have been overpaid to the extent OF
more than $S5,000. While an easy prob
lem in arithmetic only was necessary
to show that the contractors have re-
ceived more than they were entitled
to according to the amount of work ac-
complished, all city officials have been
loathe to admit 1t in so many words.
They feared some complicat ons that
might show the contractors had not
been overpaid after all.
The city attorneys report is as fol-
lows:
"In reference to the communication
from Stansbury & Powell in response
to the notice given, by order of the
city council in behalf of the city. to
S. ]. Edwards, original contractor on
the new outfall sewer Stansbury &
Powell assignees, and the Aetna In
demnity company surety, that the work
of construction of such sewer be re-
sumed within five days. or the council
will treat the same as abandoned.
beg to advise you as follows:
First: The material in question
presented by the notice from the city
was--Did the contractors. who had
abandoned work on the outfall sewer.
intend to resume work thereon? The
reply from Stansbury & Powell con-
tains no explicit answer to this in
uuiry, but what they say is tantamount
to, an admission that they have aban-
doned the work and do not intend to
resume it,
Second: Stansbury & Powell at
tempt to justify their refusal to con-
tinue the work on the sewer on the
ground that the city engineers allow
ance for work done in the month of
June was less than they were entitled
to according to the estimates OF previous
months The records of the city eff
ectually dispose OF this objection,
showing that, according to the propor-
ton of the whole work actually COM
pleted, the contractors have been over
paid about $4,000.
Third: Another reason assigned by
Stansbury & Powell for abandoning
the work Is, that under the plans and
specifications for the sewer. a portion
of II must be built through difficult
ground. at an unusual cost The con-
tractors undertook to build the sewer
according 10 said plans and speclflea-
tions. and It Is not for them to say that

INDEPENDENTS GETTING BUSY
City Treasurer Workman Said to Be
Slated for Nomination
for Mayor

There was no move yesterday, as far
as known, looking to the placing of an
independent county ticket in the field,
but one of the promoters declared that
the movement would take definite
shape within a few days.
He said that the reports in The Her
aid were correct and that a non-par-
tisan county ticket certainly would be
nominated
The executive committee of the nom
partisan city committee held another
meeting in M. Lissners office to fur
ther consider the names of those men
who will be recommended for the va
rious city offices. The meeting was
secret and 1t was not announced when
the report will be presented to the full
committee of 100. 1t is thought, how
ever, that this action will be taken
within few days.
Among the names mentioned for the
nomination of mayor is that of City
Treasurer William II. Workman.
1t is said that Tax Collector e. E..
Johnson has been slated for his pres
ent position by the non-partisan ex-
ecutive committee.
