COAT AND HAT FOUND
Last of George Robaris Belong
 ings Located Yesterday.

All the missing links connected with
 the death of the late George Robarts
 were cleared up yesterday. The key
 to the safe at the Turkish bath was in his trouser pocket and when 1t was opened his watch was found there. Mrs Pearsall telephoned to the police station some time during the afternoon that few men who had passed through the brush near the spot where the body of MT Robarts was discover ed in the water had reported to her that they saw coat and hat hanging on a tree close to the pond. Detective Kennaugh went up there and recogniz- ed the coat and hat as those of George Robarts. They were not there the night the body was taken from the water and the detective believes that they foated away some distance and were later picked up and hung on the tree. MT Robarts was in the habit of carrying his overcoat on his arm and this explains how it got separated from the body. Of course the hat went off as soon as the unfortunate man fell in the water. The articles were taken to the police station.

Looking for Sites.

The Meershaum company of Ameri- ca Is trying to locate advantageous sites for a number of factories in which the products of the company's mines in New Mexico are to be turn ed into commercial articles, includ- ing pipes. cigar and cigarette hold CTS. insulating devices for electrical apparatus. etc. William J. Seiden- burg, formerly of the American To- baeco company. Is president of the Meerschaum company. which has off, ces at 25 Broad street. New York. The company is capitalized at s6, 000, ,000. Each of its factories, 1t is expected. will employ one hundred men. The eompany's decision to erect numerous factories was reached when the reports of United States Consuls George \. Int and U. J. Ledoux were made public announc- ing that the supply of meerschaum in the Turkish mines was practically ex- hausted. thus giving the Meerschaum company a monopoly of these pro- ducts.

LAST DRILL OF SEASON.
And Two Members of Company
 Were Presented With Medals.

The armory was packed to the doors last evening at the last battal- ion drill of the season given by the members of Companies A and C., Second regiment, c. N. G. Although much interest was taken in the mili- tary exercises, the majority of those present waited eagerly for the danc- ing, which started about 9:30.
 Major Harry Norton, Jr, of Wal lingford was in command, with Col onel James Geddes of this city, as- sisted by Major John c. Tilson of New Haven, doing the reviewing. Adjutant John North and Captain William B. Spender of New Haven were also present, as was the Rev ! John N. Lewis.
 During the drill two members of Company A were presented with medals. Ralph N. Wheeler won the medal presented by the late Major F. A. Spencer for the best marks manship. Quartermaster Sergeant Wheeler on the field day of Company A made score of 41 out of possi- ble SO at 200 yards. The competi- tive drill for the officers of Company A was won by Irving c. Miller. who for years with his brother, Clyde, was members of the Mattatuck drum i, corps, and who in his old colonial uniform learned much about mili- tary tactics while yet young. Ser geant Miller was highly compliment ed on his work of last evening. He also received the Hitchcock rnadal for doing the best recruiting work. The dancing lasted until about i2 o'clock.

WHO WILL PAY?
If Belgian Blocks Are Taken Up
 and Other Paving Used.

Everybody believes in pavement
 about the center which will not
 make such racket as the Belgian
 blocks do, but the trouble is how to
 get rid of them and put down some
 thing else without assessing abutting
 property. Of course the old conten-
 ton applies here, that the public
 should pay for all street work, but
 unfortunately Waterbury has not yet reached that stage of enlightenment In municipal matters, and as con-
 sequence there is lots of room for
 hair pulling about such things. When
 street is improved every soul in the community claims a right to use
 1t in common with others, but when
 the hearings are being held and the
 expense account under consideration all stand in the background with the
 exception of the abutting property
 owners who are brought into the lmelight and made to come down with the dust. This isn't square
 deal and the longer the system is al- lowed to stand the more difficult it will be to do the right thing, so that 1t wouldn't be any mistake to call halt now on the old plan of stand and deliver with the individual and let the public shoulder these burdens.
 This is bound to come and the longerit is deferred, the greater the injustice.
 It is bad enough to charge prop erty owner for paving blocks, but 1t is worse still to take them away later without giving them something better instead. This Is another phase of the Exchange place matter
 Some of the property owners object to the city taking up these blocks and contend that they were paid for by private individuals and belong to them and not to the municipality. R. K. Brown planked down something in the neighborhood of s5,000 for Belgian blocks in East Main street and Exchange place, and people who know MT Brown will readily admit that he is not the kind of man to stand idly by while somebody is mak- ing off with $5,000 worth of ma terial belonging to him. To be sure the city paid share of the cost. but individuals paid big money for these Belgian blocks and if they are to be discarded 1t will be hard to get a board to say that 1t would be fair to charge them copper for some other kind of material. The blocks are as good as ever yet and could be used in other ways so it would not be like tearing up something that cost money and throwing 1t away The principal argument offered against touching these blocks is that the city never can replace them with any thing that will wear like them. It would not pay to cover them with asphalt, for they are uneven and the | material would not set right on them. In some places where this has been done the results were far from sat- isfactory. After short time the asphalt surface becomes as uneven as that of the blocks and looks hor-s rible.. But whatever way the thing i goes 1t appears to be pretty generally believed that the Belgian blocks make too much noise and that some- thing quieter ought to be secured no matter wno foots the bill.

NEW ENGINE HOUSE
Contracts Let Last Night 10 inc
 Lowest Bidders.

1aWork will begin as soon as possible on the projected engine house for Baldwin and Luke streets. The con- tracts were awarded yesterday by the board of public safety at an adjourned meeting, and after the plans and speci- fications had been pared down n good deal from the original in order to bring the cost within the appropriation of $20O00. And even now the cost will exceed the appropriation by $17.2O for certainty and if the contractor who secured the job of heating and plumb ing runs across any rock or finds 1t necessary . to make excavation other than allowed for in tie contract he shall be paid $4 cubic foot for such work.
 Commissioner Minor presided at the meeting. The bids were as follows:
 Mason work--D. E. Cronan $S,2OO, George s. Chatfield SS,373, Thompson Bros $7,512, John W. Gaffney & Son $S,40O.
 Carpenter work--J. r. Bittner $9,- 2SO, Fidelity Construction Co, $S,571.
 Plumbing-P. H. Garrty $1,6T5, M. J. Daily & Sons s1,59s, Barlow Bros. $1,722.
 Steam heating-M. .Daly & Sons $S45, Barlow Bros $098.
 Painting-Oscar A. Valentine $40O, W. H. Hoffman $419.
 Wiring-New England Engineering Co $13S.
 In each case the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, the Fidelity Construction company for the carpenter work, the Thompson Bros the mason work, NJ. J. Daly & Sons the plumbing, heating and venti- lating, o. A. Valentine the painting and the New England Engineering company the electric wiring.
 The resignation of Daniel F. Lcary member of engine company No. was received and accepted and an ap- plication from William Phelan for an appointment to the call fire force was received and filed.
 Commissioner Andrews would have Exchange place cleared of horses and he moved to that effect. He thought the presence of a number of horses tied to hltching posts along the west walk of Exchange place did not look well. It gave the place too much the appearance of "rube" town. Con- missioner Minor stated that the own CTS of the land stated in their deeds to the city that farmers and others should have the privilege of hitching their horses on Exchange place as long as the store keepers did not object. The matter was accordingly tabled

FIVE HUNDRED PENNIES.
Player Fined Five Dollars, Brings

In a Tri-State league game last week at Wilmington Mike Grady was fined s by Umpire Moran for back talk. Grady appeared at the game the next day with the S5 but 1t was in 5OO pennies and after the umpire had call ed play ball" he went to him with the money in his cap. The umpire refused to receive 1t and Grady refused to take 1t away, contending it was legal currency and must be accepted. Fin, ally becoming exasperated Umpire Moran stated he would call the game if the matter was not s.raightened out and President Connolly of the Will mington club came forward with a $j note and all was well.
