THOSE GOLD BADGES

 Oue Board te Asstker.

X great many people are talking about those badges ordered by the former board of safety and while some say the present officials should plank down the dust and turn the medals over to those for whom they were in- tended. others take the ground that the proper thing to do is tO have them made over and let the present com miSsioners use them while they are in efice and then turn thsm over to their successors. just the same as police and firemen do.
 People who take this view of the case would have each hadge markei Commissioner of Public Safety. Wa te.tsury. Conn and let it go at that. That would leave them so that sue es~<ive boarls could use them and then only while the board was in ses- sion. for a commissioner has no auth ority only when acting with the boanl Just what will t.e dsne tn the premises is not known but the limbs of the law who have booked up the matter claim that 1T the present board approves the bin they will f.e apr to get them~elvss into a perk of trouble

FOUND DEAD Irish Nationalist Who
 Won Election. EXCITEMENT DID IT
Affected His Weak Heart - To day Will Practically End the Elections --Twenty-Eight
 Divisions Are Polling.

London. Jan 26.-Thomas Higgins, Irish nationalist, who yesterday sue cessfully contested North Galway against Colonel John Philip Nolan, Irish nationalist, was found dead ill bed at bis hotel at Tuam this morn ing. The tragic occurrence is at tributed to the excitement of yester- days polling acting on weak heart. Mir Higgins was one of the most mill tant nationalists in the west of Ire land and had many conflicts with the police. He was imprisoned under the crimes act during Arthur J. Balfour's tenure of the chief secretaryship of Ireland.

 Lionel Walter Rothschild. uniOnist. has been reelected for the middle di- vision of Buckingharashire. though the Rev Silas kitt0 Hooking, the novelist, gave him good race, reducing the unionist majority at the last contested election by .one-half.

TROLLEY MATTERS
couditioas That Were lsposed Without Party
 Division te De Contested.

Trolley matters, including exten- sions and double tracking. are all the rage in Waterbury just now, and while the public wants the extensions, everybody looks to the officials to see that such applications shall not be granted without reasonable conditions being imposed. After making provis- ions for widening streets in sparsely settled districts, paving and sprinkling thorOughfares in crowded sections, enough additional expense will be in cured in lighting. maintaining and DO. Heinz to make these improvements quite burdensome, so that those who take the ground that the street raii- road company should get everything and pay nothing, pass upon these ques- tiOns without giving them fhe .consid- eration they are entitled to. Speaking on these matters, Mayor Thoms said today:
 "In regard to the appeal taken by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co from conditions imposed upon them by the aldermen on their petition to double track East and West Main streets, all I have, to say is that the conditions. were imposed. unanimously by the board of aldermen, without any party division and without any dis senting vote. They appeared to them and appear to me to be fair. reasonable and just. and the city will fight for them before the railroad commission- CTS and elsewhere.
 Tn a way, however. I am not sorr.. that this appeal has been taken, as it gives us an opportunity to test the validity of the se-called six track law which. Senator. Paige of Bridge port. chairman of the judiciary con- mittee and general counsel for the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co, put through the last legislature. It provides, ill effect. that the company may lay double or triple tracks or any number of tracks in our city streets. and use them for freight. express and traffic, without paying any compensation, now or in the future, either to the city or the abutting prop erty owners. There are very serious doubts as to the constitutionaiity of such a law, and this appeal will give us chance to test 1t not only In our own state courts but in those of the
 United States"

SELECTED BY POPE
The Bishop of Portland Appointed Bishop Coadjutator of
 Boston.

The Roman Catholic clergy and others of that faith fin this vicinity. will be interested in the announcement that the pope has appointed Right Rev William H. O'COnnell, bishop of Port land (Maine), for the past three years, to be bishop coadjutor of Boston. He thus becomes an assistant to the ven- erable Archbishop John J. Williams. who has been archbishop of Boston for many years, and will probably eventually succeed Archbishop Will Hams.
 The appointment is made on account of the advanced age of the archbish- Op, which makes it necessary for him to have assistance in his work. Bish- op O'Connell is q graduate of Harvard and has been rector of the American college at Rome, going there from Cambridge, Mass. He has recently been on church mission to Japan and visited Rome upon his return. He is highly regarded by the clergy of this section.
 Boston, Jan. 26-The announcements of the appointment of the Right Rev William O'Connell. bishop of Port land, to be bishop coadjutor had been anticipated in this city and Portland, where the bishop is held in high es- teem.
 Bishop O'Connelrs advancement in the church has been unusually rapid. He is but 46 years old and nine years ago was assistant priest in St Jo- seph's parish in this city. He grad uated from Boston college in 1851 with honors which attracted the mo- tice of Archbishop William and which secured for the young student schol- arship in the American college at Rome. He was ordained in Rome in 1884 and returned to this country in 1885. He was assistantat St JOseph's for 10 years and was called from that position to the rectorship of the Amer ican college at Rome in 1887. Shortly afterwards he was appointed as mon- signor by Pope Leo XIII and in 1901 he was elevated to the bishOpric.. being made head of the diocese of Maine. He was called to undertake the papal mission to Japan at the close of the recent war.
 The question of coadjutor to the archbishop of Boston has been agita- ted for, the past 15 years owing to the age of Archbishop Williams which is now S3 years. Since his elevation to the bishopric of Maine, Bishop O. Cornell had been more prominently mentioned as a candidate for the CO., atljutorship than any other American and reports that he actually had been appointed have frequently been cir culated.

COURTS ARE BUSY
Cuddy Estate Case of Much Inter. est-Short Calandar Matters
 Disposed of.

An appeal from Judge Etheridge's decision in the Cuddy estate has been taken to the superior court by Patrick Hickey and the others who claim they are Catherine Cuddy's heirs. The de- cision was that John Cuddy.r son Of Catherine Cuddy. is alive. notwith- standing that he disappeared from town thirty years ago and has not since been heard of if is claimed. This excludes the Hickeys and the I.awlors from partaking in the distri- button of S1.i00. the personal estate of Mrs Cuddy, now held by Judge Cowell the administrator. Besides this there is parcel of real estate on Railroad Hill street. This case will prove oIie of the most interesting cases that has been heard in the courts in long time. .. Attorney Slavin. representing May C. Tirrell. has brought suit for S1.OP damages against the city. The plain- tiff claims that because of n defective sidewalk on Maple stret she fell and sprained her ankle and suffered othe: injuries.
 William n. Munson has brought suit for foreclosure against Efta My CTS and l.. F. Zeigler for S2.3l0. The trouble Is over a note which was orig inally the property of Samuel and Kate Williams. The property involv- ed is situated on North Riverside street.
 It is doubtful as yet whether Willis vandemark. one of the original strikers who figured in the trolley tie up in this city in 19L3. will be released from prison next month. Nandemark will have served the minimum penalty and if the state attorney. does not oppose his case will go before the parole board and in all probability he will be released. In l9G Nandemark was sentenced for perjury to from two to i've years by Judge Ralph Wheeler.
