BRASS CITY STIRRED
May Petition Consolidated to Leave the Theater
 Train On.

There is talk in Waterbury of peti- tloning the railroad company to leave the theater train from New Haven on the new time tables which go into ef- feet next Sunday. The taking off of this train puts Waterbury in the huckleberry line again and dashes everybody's hopes of seeing the town among the first of the state The new time table takes off six Waterbury trains. Imagine city of almost TO- 000 people excluded from the outside world after o'clock evenings. The last train from the south comes in at that hour according to the new time table, and the last train out, south bound, will leave at Gig, Imagine being unable to get out of town ex- cept by the unreliable and always breaking down trolley after that hour. The storekeepers on Bank street seem to talk of little else but the new rail- road time table, and they were of the opinion that they would not stand for it. It is quite evident that the railroad company, instead of helping Waterbury to a foremost place in the state intends putting it further back where it was twenty years ago.

DRINK, NOT RABIES
Man Taken to the Hospital Barking Was Only a
 Drunk.

Marked symptoms of hydrophobia and clear case of rabies took John Mccarthy of Columbus avenue to the New Haven hospital in the police ann bulance yesterday afternoon, but some little time afterward he was dis charged therefrom convalescing from a plain attack of intoxication.
 It was first reported that Mccarthy was one of those bitten by a dog at the time of the scare of rabies in this city two or three months ago. Fortu- nately for Mccarthy the reporter who picked up the news was the more bad ly "bitten" of the two.

REMARKABLE CRUISE

CHANGE IN POLICY
An Important One by the Bell Telephone
 Company.

Boston. Oct. 3.--An important change in the policy which the Bell Telephone companies have maintain ed for thirty years became known to- day. when President Theodore N, Vail, of the American Telephone and Tele- graph company, confirmed a report that the Western Electric company, which manufactures the apparatus used by the Bell companies, would hereafter sell telephones and supplies to all buyers.
 Heretofore the Western company has refused to sell it's instruments to independent companies, partly, MT. Vail said because the full resources of the Western plant were required to supply the demands of the Bell com panies. Now that large additions have been completed to the Western company's plant at Chicago, that com pany is able to take care of outside orders
 Owing to the fact that the independ- ent companies have been unable to se- cure Bell instruments, it has been diff 6cult at times to make good connec- lions between their lines and those of the Bell companies. It is believed that the new arrangement, whereby the Bell instruments will be placed in the open market that any one who wishes can buy them, will result in great ben l eft to the telephone using public.

FOR 0. U.A. M. HOME Attorney Jacobs Files Ar ticles of Incorporation
 at Hartford. MAY BE IN THIS STATE Fund Now Amounts to $3,- 800 and is Growing
 Rapidly.
MAY BE IN THIS STATE

Articles of incorporation have been filed in the state secretary's office at Hartford by Attorney l.. Erwin Jacobs, of New Haven, for the Order of Unit ed American Mechanics home, which is to be founded by the national fra ternal order. The incorporators of the home are F. q Jones, of Rome, N. r., president; Charles F. Spear, of Boston, president; L, Erwin Ja- cobs, of New Haven, secretary, and Joseph H. Shield, of Camden, N. J., treasurer. The home is to be for the care of aged and inflrm members of the order and widows and orphans of members.
 Secretary Jacobs is of the opinion that it may be located in Connecticut as the order is strong in the east and this state is as central location as could be found If the members of the order in this section are liberal with their contributions for the home he thinks that the national organiza- tion would look for site for it In this section. Nothing has yet been done about purchasing property nor will action be taken until the fund that has been started, and now amounts to $3,500, grows some. The national or- ganization wants to raise s10,00 be- fore it establishes the home.
 Circulars have been sent out to members throughout the United States asking help, and, with its membership of over 112, ,000, the amount needed, il is thought, will be speedily forthcom- ing.
