WATERBURY EVENING
SILVER ANNIVERSARY
Special Service VIII Be Held 0ctobe
 21st at St Pahick's.

Special anniversary services will be held in St Patrlck's church on Sun day, October 21, for the purpose of celebrating the silver anniversary Of the laying of the corner stone of the church. Although the full program for the special services has not been completed, the pastor, Rev Joseph NJ. Gleeson has plans made for making the anniversary big event. Father John Neale will deliver the address in the morning and his speech Is sure to be a treat. Father Neale Is q former Brooklyn boy and is consid- cred an excellent speaker. In the evening Bishop Tierney will be pres ent and the address will be delivered by Rev John J. Murray, whose par ents reside On South street. Father Murray was also brought up in St Patrck's parish and is well know in Brooklyn. Twenty-Five years ago next month the corner stone of St Patrick's church, which is now con sidered one of the finest in the state was laid. The building of the beauti- full edifioe was considered gigantic task, but the zeal with which the un- deraking was commenced was the kind that shows results, as may be seen today. by anyone who cares to take stroll along Charles street and view the rectory and the church. The late Father Duggan worked hard for the success of the parish as did his successor, Father Gleeson, on whose shoulders much work has fallen.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
flTsnen VIII Be on Duty lt PIacss !
 Amusement

Mayor Thoms presided at the meet- ing of the board of public safety held yesterday afternoon, and all but Com missioner Andrews were present. Ap- plications from Thomas Bolton and Bernard J. Mulcrone for positions on the call fire force were filed. Chief Snagg recommended that the firemen be permitted to form an aid ass0cia- tion. The request was granted. Cer- tain repairs in the police station were ordered, the cost to be not more than $129. It seems that unless these repairs are made the old police sta- tion will fall apart. Commisioner Griffin said 1t was absolutely neces- sary that work begin at once.
 On motion of Comisioner Spain, Chief Snagg will hereafter appoint fireman to do duty at any place of public amusement, if he sees fit to do so. The matter shall be discre- tionary with him.
 Commissioner Griffin reported that the committee to regulate trolley traffic on Exchange place was not ready to report. Commissioner Minor complained that the condition of af- fairs merits instant attention and that few days ago woman came near being killed there. Commits sioner Minors law office looks out on Exchange place and no doubt he sees many narrow escapes from accident in the great rush for the Cheshire cars. Philip Kelly was appointed callman and the meeting then ad- journed to 11:45 to-day.

AGENT THRALL GUILTY.
Miss Knox Claimed $3,OOO Damages;
 Jury Awards Her 5000.


 Putnam, Sept 20.-The case of Carrie A. Knox of Sterling against Dwight w. Thrall of Hartford, for $3,000 for alleged assault and tho personal injuries attendant thereon, came up in the superior court yester- day. The case has attracted wide interest because of the prominence of the defendant, who is the agent of the Connecticut Humane society.
 The complaint alleges that on Au- gust 20, 1906, the defendant assault ed the plaintiff, dislocating her wrist, injuring her back and causing a series of complications. As de- fense it was averred that the defend ant went to the home of the plain tiff's father in the discharge of his duty as an agent of the Humane so- ciety, and that the plaintiff inter- fered with the defendant in the per formance of his official duty. The assault was denied.
 The first witness was the plaintiff, Miss Carrie A. Knox, who testified that on August "A, 1906, MT Thrall, in company of Dr King of Moosup, came to her home to see about a horse; that with her father, she took them to the barn where the horse was bridled and led out. MT Thrall said that the horse could not trot and that witness's father offered to harness the horse, but was forbidden to do so by Mir Thrall. That witness was holding the horse with both hands and when her father insisted on getting the harness MT Thrall rushed forward and grasped the brt- dle and pulled the horse so that wit ness lost her balance and fell to her knees. That Thrall, as soon as she regained her feet, grasped her by the wrist, twisting and wrenching It so that she suffered great pain.
 Dr William Wadhams testified that he found the woman's wrist disclo- cated and fragments torn and she complained of pains in her back.
 MT Thrall. in his defense. said that after inspecting the horse he took possession of 1t in legal way and started to lead it away. He said that then Miss Knox grabbed hold of the bridle and forbade him to take the horse away. She then got between him and the horse and he let go of the horse and walked away.
 The jury retired at 4:30 o'clock and returned in an hour with yer dict of $500 for the plaintiff.
