votes. Since that date 1905 voters have
registered and the registration for tho
county for Dotn parties Is in the
neighborhood OF 10000.
This would indicate that fully 2090
Republican and Democratic voters
stayed at home on the days OF the
primaries. Saturday. IN the sixth
ward, many Republican colored voters
did not vote and the Union Repubn-
cans IN many sections stayed at home.
The Republican vote In the city ex-
ceeded the vote at the Democratic
primaries by about 1900. but IN view
OF the fact that there has been a
registration day since the Democratic
primaries were held an estimate OF the
strength Of the two parties Ia the city
could not be safely made other than 10
say that fully 500 more Republicans
have registered than Democrats.
Registration Below 1902.
The registration at this time four
years ago was 1900 more than the
present registration. and IN 1901 at
this time Il was 260O more than at
present
In 1902 an off year the total regis
tration OF the county was ID. 7O6. and i'm
1904 q was l7.702. According to normal
conditions the last registration day
must show over 5000 registration to
equal the vote Of four years ago.
The fight for the nomination fof
Sheriff was nip and tuck between
Charles II. Llppincott and Henry
stafford and it was not until the last
district came Ia that a definite result
could be obtained. Stafford won over
his rival by about 100 votes.
The Bach-Walker contest for Regist :

the county contests IN view OF the fact

CITY NEWS

The case of Miss Mabel Austin against J. F. H. Carpmill for betrayal and breach of promise was returned to the district court to-day.
 The marriage of Mrs Florence Lockwood of North Willow street and Walter J. Hayden, clerk with Rogers & Brother, took place Satur- day at the parsonage of the First Methodist Church, the pastor, the Rev F. D. Walter, officiating. The brides nieces. the Misses Charlotte and Harriet Lockwood, attended her.
 Mrs. D. F. Gillete. of Rumford, Conn, reported at the police station this afternoon that while passing from the New England station to the trolley, she dropped her pocket book containing about $20. Officer Bowling, who is on duty in that sec tion made search for the purse, but his efforts were unavailing.
 So far nobody has identified the body of the man killed by the cars Tuesday on the trestle north of the West Main street station. A dozen or Ror6- persons who have" friends away from home visited Mulville's morgue where the body still lies. but nobody could say that they ever saw anybody who looked like him. Unless somebody claims the remains by tomorrow they will be intered in the town cemetery.
 At the adjourned meeting of the board of safety held at noon to-day 1t was intended to appoint John Me- verry and J. Joseph Woods on the permanent fire force. It transpired, however, that Mcverry was under weight. The rules of the department call for 140 pounds, whereas Mcver- ry showed only 127. He was Bent back to the police and fire surgeon, O'Hara, for further examination, but even the surgeon who is considered a modern Aladin in many things could not put the difference in weight on McVerry. He was accordingly put back. The other candidate, J. Joseph Woods. who. with Mcverry, passed the verbal examination yes terday afternoon. was appointed. The board then adjourned.

CAPTAIN HElTMAN WAS CLEVER.
Prevented Collision With the Scovill
 Street Engine This Morning.

One of the finest exhibitions or horsemanship witnessed in this city In many a day was that which took place on East Main street this morn ing, while Chief Snagg of the fire de- partment was on his way to the blaze Ut the Matthews & Willard factory.
 the man who did the clever act was
 saptain Heitman of the Leavenworth
 ;treet engine house and he undoubt-
 "a prevented very serious accident. P When the alarm sounded Heitman was in the chiefs wagon, and in this he started to the fire with the head of the department. The chiefs big horse can travel at very rapid pace and this morning was going at full speed along East Main street. In all probability the chief and the captain must have forgotten about the Sco- will street apparatus. or were under the impression that the Scovill street boys had turned into East Main street. But such was not the case, for when the chiefs wagon was al- most at Spring street the Scovill street engine with the horses on the gallOp turned into East Main street. People
 
 in the vicinity expected to see the two vehicles come together with crash, as it appeared an accident was inevitable. But Captaini Heitman wss equal to the situation. Using all his strength he gave the reins pull and before the spectators had chance to realize what had happened, he brought the chiefs horse up in the shafts, and then. as only expert horsemen can do. let the animal slow ly drop to the ground.
 The accomplishment showed Heit- man to be an excellent driver and the people on the walks could hardly realize how 1t happened. In a few minutes the horse was on its feet against unharmed, and hustled to the ore as if nothing had occurred.

 Mitthexs and WilllTd.


 The fire department was called to Matthews & Willard's factory this morning and for half an hour or so tho boys had lively time of 1t bat ting with blaze in the plating de- partment, which fronts on Maple street. The fire started in lacquer- ing bench and worked its way into . chute which carried 1t to the top of the one story building. but before 1t had time to spread and do much damage the department had deluged 1t with water, so that while the damage from fire was slight, still g lot of valuable stock was ruined by water.
 The fire attracted a big crowd and alarmed the management of the Wa terbury Clock Go to such an extent that the shop fire company was out and they looked like men who could render effective service If need be:

AUTOS IN COLLISION.
Manager Poli Took All the Blame
 and Everything Was Satisfactory

8. 2. Poll and Dr Thurber came near having a. bad run Ip, this after, noon in Exchange place. "T6S the. atrical man was heading down West Main street in a big touring car and the doctor was just coming into the center. It is quite likely that q trolley car which was moving into Exchange place at the same time in- terfered with the view of the men in the autos. but in any case the first thing spectators knew the two machines had come together and police officers, trolley men and pri- vate citizens were hurrying to the scene when they saw the portly form of MT Poll step from his car and go over to pr Thurber and remark that the thing was all his fault and he begged to be excused. Whether the doctor was mad or not before, mo- body appeared to know, but in any case the kindly face and conciliatory words of Mir Poli had the desired ef- feet and both whirled away appar- ently not whit ruffled over what had happened. Nobody was hurt and nothing was damaged. but 1t was a close shave for the autos and the men who were steering them.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Policemen Filed | Petition For {
 Weekly Ply D,y.

The police now want weekly pay day, seeing the firemen have almost got it. At the meeting of the board of public safety held yesterday after noon they filed a petition for week. ly pay day. The matter was referred to committee.
 Thomas Mulcahy, fireman in en- zine company No 2, resigned and John McVerry, 199 East Main street, and J. Joseph Woods, 83 East Main street, were elected call firemen.
 It has been some time since the police department went into history and B. B. Giddings and H. c. Fuller were aware of this. They are historians of kind and they asked, by letter, permission of the board to issue souvenir history of the de- pertinent, they to receive 10 per cent of the proceeds and the balance to go to the police pension fund. The request was granted.
 All bills were ordered paid, ex- cept one for $437 for one years in- surance on the engine houses and their equipment.
 Frank c. Phelan petitioned for a license to run pool room The mat ter was referred to committee.
 The resolution of Alderman John Hurley for an increase of about $40 a year for the firemen which passed the board of aldermen Monday even- ing was referred to Commissioners Spain and Griffin to inquire how the appropriation for the fire department stands. If the appropriation can stand the recommended increase, no doubt the firemen will get 1t, and If 1t cannot stand 1t, the recommends tion will probably lay over until af- ter the estimates are made up next December when provision will be made for it. Meanwhile the com mittee can report progress. thus keeping the matter before the board. The board then adjourned to 11:45 this forenoon.

anowrNG. BUT CAN'T SEE YET.

Hartford is growing some, and is as proud of it as she is proud of the fact that she couldn't see enough to see and accept the good thing offered her by Mr. Mellen. She is now rejoicing be- cause her new directory indicates a population of 9S,614 A year ago the population was estimated by the same authority at 91,58S. The increase for the last twelve months, therefore, is more than 1000, a phenomenal show ing for one year. Never before in the sixty-nine years during which statis- tics regarding the people of Hartford have been kept has there been an in- crease of such proportions. It is three times greater than the growth during the year ending July, 1905, and fifty per cent, greater than that of any other year of which there is a record.
 And so forth and so on. Hartford is growing, but her eyes are not yet open, and we hope they won't be u-til New Haven can get what the young one has thrown away.
