THE JACQUES ESTATE
M. E. Keeley Filed First Report
 in Probate To-Day.

M. E. Keeley, administrator on the estate of the late Eugene L. Jacques, filed his first report with the probate court to-day through his counsel At torney James E. Russell. At the time of MT Jacques death the estate was appraised at $30,000 in which MT Jacques had comparatively a small equity. Under the manage ment of MT Kelley it has developed to about $45,000. The report shows there was received from Attorney D.. F. Cole the previous administrator, 5,744.S0. There were personal bills against Mir Jacques at the time of his death $14,94S.50, all of which have been paid. His personal estate amounted to s23,094.S0. The average receipts amounted to $4S,346.69 while the disbursements have not been computed yet. The receipts come from a half interest in the Meriden Bill Posting company, tho sale of the Diamond Bottling works, dividends from Polls and the Jacques theaters under a partnership and rent from Polls for the past ten months. .
 The estate is far more profitable than it has been,, and MT Keeley cal culates upon making it more so. MT Jacques little girl Marie is with her aunt Annie Louise Jacques in South Manchester.

FOUNTAIN A NUISANCE
And Adjoining Property Owners
 Think IL Obslrucls Sidewalk.

The fountain at the corner of North Elm and Cherry streets is the worst kind of nuisance. It has never served the purpose 1t was placed there for and it never will. It is an obstruction on the sidewalk, a detriment to the adjoining property and is absolutely of no service what ever. It was placed there without the permission of the owner of the property and it was placed there by stealth and in broken promises.
 The property owner objected to 1t being put there but the city promised to remove one of the two disflgur- ing poles that stand on either side of it. At length the property owner agreed to its being erected on condi- tion that one of the poles be re- moved, and at o'clock one morn ing the city employees. determined to violate the promise of the then may. or, put up the fountain and both poles are still standing.
 Now the fountain runs all day long and it runs wild. The sidewalk near by is always in a mess with mud and slush. Even the very dogs will not use the fountain and the only pur- pose it serves is toy for small boys who collect around 1t and squirt the running water at each other and whoever happens to be passing by. It is a nuisance that ought to be abated at once, nuisance that every employe of the Waterbury Clock Go and some of the thousands in the employ of the Waterbury Manufac- turing Go will say it ought to be re- moved without delay, for then they would no longer bump up against it every time they pass that way. It is particularly a nuisance to wo- women wearing white dresses or white shoes.

The accident occurred as the doctor was running his machine over the crossing at the corner of West Main street and Holmes avenue. Miss Hes. who al first was thought to he badly injured. was carried to the home of her sis ter, Mrs Ella Miller of 32 State street. Upon investigation Drs Graves and Goodrich found that the woman was suffering from dislocated hip and several painful abrasions. Dr Good rich stated that his machine was go- ing slowly at the time, but because of the darkness he was unable to see Miss Hes. The injured woman Is em- ployed as timekeeper in the clock fac tory.

POLITICAL MEETING
First Warders Preparing For
 the Fall Campaign.

The political ball has been started rolling in the first ward, which is generally the first to enter the arena. Hot as 1t is these days, things prom ise to be a great deal hotter, at least in that ward. John Newall Is out bag and baggage with big axe under his coat for somebody's scalp. He has copyrighted half dozen cuss words, for he intends, it seems, to be very mad this fall.
 Newall's bunch of democrats held a meeting sub rosa last Sunday evening and it Is said that John Gal lagher who was near alderman in the last city election was on hand with big kick. Those who were at the gathering are very reticent as to what took place there, which is considered very bad sign, for se- erecy never availed anything in dem cratic politics.
 However, MT Newell does not hesi- tate to state that someone will feel the weight of his heavy hand pretty soon, and the inference is that he intends taking the war path.
 The bunch will hold another meet ing shortly for the purpose of dis cussing material for the nominations for aldermen. Newell is confident that the first ward will go democratic next fall. Newell is hustler. He would like to see James c. Whiting on the board of education and will work in that direction. But at pres ent he is kicking like dozen steers and doubtless will have no trouble in collecting a varied assortment of kickers before the primaries are held.
