BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SCENERY,
Travelling Man Says Connection,
 Beats the Berksbirc Hm.


 A drummer who came to Water bury yesterday from Thomaston says that the scenery along the route is the finest he ever saw. He declared that in his opinion 1t beats the Berk. shire hills and expressed some sur prise that there are not more fine country residences along the beauti- ful side hills. There is lot of truth Tn what the man said. but because some of us have had these sights be- fore our eyes all our lives probably We fail to see anything out of the ordinary in them. Waterbury peo- pie make light of the Naugatuck river and yet strangers claim that it Is one of the incest streams of its size In the country and that the landscape bordering on 1t cannot be beaten for magnificent rural scenery. Who knows but in a short time people will be coming into Connecticut to see wonders instead of going out of it when they want to have a good time.
 c. l.. Holmes, who arrived home from Redlands. Cal. last Saturday. says that California Is a very nice place. but after all when you take everything into consideration he Is of the opinion that no matter where you go 1t is mighty hard 10 strike a prettier town than Waterbury or a better place to live in. That's the kind of talk we like to hear. Three cheers for Mir Holmes. and may the man who was charmed with the rural scenery between Thomaston and Waterbury never appeal in vain for a norder for the house he repre- sents.

ATWOOD CA8llAGx STRUCK.
Runway in Ezchanxe Place Caassd Plenty of Excitement This Morning.

There was mixup in Exchange
 place this morning about II which threatened to result seriously for Jo- seph Cosgrove, coachnlan for I. ,. Atwood, Mrs L. J. Atwood and anoth. CT lady who were in the carriage when
 a runaway belonging to Hank Loucks.
 that had got away on West Main street from Jacob Cassell, a Scoyill street peddler. and crashed into the Atwood vehicle without a moments
 warning The coachman handled the ribbons to. good advantage and sue
 ceeded In keeping the animal from
 turning to either side and tipping the carriage over until Oficer Donahne
 came to the rescue and assisting In
 holding the horse until others crowded
 around and got the ladies out of the vehicle. When the ofiicer recalled the periious pnsition of the ladies he
 turned the horse over to some tall young fellow with a white hat. who instead of taking the stecd by the
 bridle. grabbed 1t by the n0stfils and shut its wind off go completely that It gaspcd for breath and in a few seconds 1t was an easy matter to hold 1t. At this juncture reinforce. menas arrived in the person of On. cer Noonan and score or more of others and the Atwood party was sent on their way withaut scratch.
 While the excitement was on in Ex. change place. Jacob Cassell. who was tossed from his team on the asphalt pavement on West Main street. was being cared for in Towle's auto sta tion- He soon revived and the first question he put to those about him was would he have to pay the dam. ages. The horse got scared at some thing in the west end and took to it's heels. The peddler held him in until he was thrown out. The rig was wrecked in the scramble in the center, but the horse escaped without injury.
 Alderman Walker. who was on the ground shortly after the accident spoke in the highest terms of the nose grip to restrain q horse and said that in Russia such thing as a runaway is so rare that when one does hap pen. it creates profound sensation. and the owner of the animal is ar rested and fined heavily. The harness outfif includes a rope around the horses neck which can he pulled so tight that it chokes him and puts him at the mercy of the driver. Mr Walker wanted to know why we can't have something like that In Water. bury. Commissioner Spain. and Minor of the department of safety. who heard what the alderman had to say on the matter thought favorably of it and It Is likely that some action will he taken in the near future providing for aschoke band on all horses.

BEssn coTTEY AWARDED ssss.
For Iniuries Received in Trolley Col
 ision Last September.

Miss Bessie Coffey has been award ed by Judge Reed in the superior court $6T5 against the Connecticut Railway X Lighting company. She sued for. 5000 for injuries received in n collision between trolley cars at the Faber switch on the morning of Sep tember F. last year. Miss Codey claimed to he permanently injured hut it Is evident that she did not prove this to the satisfaction of the court. Her alleged injury, she testified was that one leg was an inch shorter than the other. in consequence of the acci- dent. and that slIe walked with a de cided limp. This. however. was not very obvious. The company tried to affect settlement by paying her S5)O but her Counsel Attorney Cassidy would not accept. However. 1t is one of the largest judgments that has been given in the Waterbury superior court i'll some years.

THE POLICE COURT.
Dogs Were Responsible for Holding
 of City Court To-day.

Only for the irrepressible dog there would have been no business in the city court to-day. But the Water bury dog will not be squelched. or- dinance of no ordinance. Fo. the past few days q dog has been having great time of 1t around North Vine street and vicinity. He was the only dog at large and he had all the streets and backwards to himself. Oficer Brearton got on to his trail at last. Tuesday he chased that dog all over the north end of the first ward. thinking that it would run home. But 1t was a useless chase Yesterday. however. he succeeded and Gaetano Debonis of 1.13s North Main street found himself in court to-day charged with allowing his dog to run loose. Debonis said 1t was his broth- ers dog. but such stories as this don't go in Judge Burpee's court and the minimum fine was imposed. SIC.
 Benjamin Kershaw mad another of the irrepressible dogs that care not for law or ordinance He. however. did not face the court. but instead hs settled for s5.
