BEGGING A DIME
Officer Fitzgerald Arrived il
 Time 10 Capture Woman.

A man. apparently of middle age was on his way down South Main street last night whistling lively tune and unmindful that the ina- jority of the citizens along the thor oughfare were in sleepland. But the man was not the only person on the street. Near Jefferson street so,ne- one approached him. He was braced for dime. The man did not recog- nlze the woman, but Officer Fitzgerald, who was passing on . car at the time. his eagle eye scanning the territory far and wide, and of course the inci-' dent did not escape him. Did he walt until the car stopped? Realizing bis duty, as every other similar officer on the force would have done, he alighted from the car. He. inme- diately recognized the woman as Belle Ward. The man he knew not, but he placed both under arrest
 But the woman said she had donc nothing and did not care to be jostled to the station in the velvet cushioned vehicle while making the trip to Ter rance Lynch's domain. So Belle pro- tested. She swung on the officers jaw. Although the man did pot re- sist, he knew, that he would not be locked up when he told his story, so he could afford to lag behind. Consequently the officer in trying to get to the signal box had his hands full.
 But help soon arrived. Although it was not in the form of brother officer. It was no other than one William Fitzgerald. Billy" was on his way home and of course when he saw couple being pinched, even though he is not of a curious nature, he stopped to look and listen. The moment the officer spied him he shout ed:
 Come here and give me assistance" Bill did not move very rapidly.
 Did you hear what told you:" was the next remark of the officer. He went to his namesake. Aided by the powerful physique of the light haired athlete. Belle was held ln re- straint until the iblack maria" arr rived and the patrol was soon bound- ing for Harrison avenue. The man who had been braced for the price of a drink was not given, the ride as the officer saw that he was in no way to blame so he allowed him to continue along to his domicile., Belle was not in court this morning. She was dis charged as soon as she had awakens ed from her beauty sleep.

CITY MUST PAY
Water in Mrs Phelan's Cellar
 Came From Hidden Culveri.


 The mystery surrounding the presence of water in the cellar oi Mrs John Phelan's house on Wash. ington street has been cleared up, and, as many suspected, from the be- ginning. instead of being the result of defective plumbing or any trou- hle with the sewer trap, 1t turned out to be due to the old culvert in the street, through which water still runs from the hill to the Mad river, entering the stream at Benedict's bridge. The street was opened to locate the source of the trouble with the understanding that if it was the result of defective plumbing Mrs Phelan would have to foot the bill, and if not the city. would pay the piper. The city got stuck and now the commissioners will be lucky if the property owner does not take ac. ton to collect all it cost her for plumbers since the water com menced to enter the cellar, but per haps she will be content to let this go seeing it will not bother her any more.

LOTS FIFTY CENTS A WEEK.
Ardmore Out North Main Street Win
 Attract Visitors.

The sale of building lots at Ard more, right at the end of the North Main street car line, will attract in- stant and wide spread atttention be- cause of the exceedingly low prices of the lots-$20 to $125-and the re- markably easy terms of payment--sl down. then soc week without inter- est or taxes. This plan of payments. originated by Grover & Layman, has proven immensely popular in many cities, as it enables people of small inc comes to secure homes without miss ing the money. It appeals strongly to the young and old alike and many parents buy lots for their children. thus educating them in that most valuable of all directions. namely. the habit of saving their money. Satur- day and Sunday at Ardmore will find many visitors selecting lots and sales men will be on the property all day every day beginning tomorrow, Sat- urday, to show people over the lots. Sunday, being day of leisure. Is per- haps the best time to visit Ardmore, which is quickly reached by taking North Main street cars to end of line and walking north one block to the Ardmore sign board at which you turn to the left right into the prop erty.
 These lots offer splendid induce ments either for homes or invest ments, as houses are scarce and rents high In Waterbury. With only htty cents a week to pay (no interest, no taxes) and lots from $20 upwards. homes are placed within easy reach of everybody. The Ardmore advertise ment on page 8 of this paper is well worth careful reading.

LAMP EXPLODED
Burns Proved Fatal to Mrs Mary Keefe of Bank Street.

Mrs Mary Keefe died early this morning at her home, ss5 Bank street. from the effects of injuries re- ceived last night resulting from a lamp explosion which set fire to the room. the flames reaching the wo- mans clothing and setting them on fire. An alarm was sent In from box 321 by Joseph Dunn and the depart- ment responded promptly. Officer John Cavanaugh, who was on duty in that district also, hurried into a room adjoining where the lamp had exploded and found Mrs Keefe rolled up in the bed clothing and carried her onto the veranda. It is evident that the woman rushed from the burning apartment to the bedroom and tried to extinguish her burning garments by pulling the bed clothes over her. But she was not success full, for when the officer picked her up her flesh was badly scorched and nearly all her clothes had smu!dered away. The officer beat out what fire he saw with his hands and got them we'll singed.
 Mrs Keefe was conscious, but all who saw her knew that she could not live long. Father Laflin was called and gave her the last rites of the church, after which Dr Russell was called, but it was out of the question to save the patient.
 Mrs Keefe was the widow of the late Matthew Keefe, and had 2 wide circle of friends. Her husband died about two years ago. She leaves eight children, six sons and two daughters. The sons are Thomas F., Matthew, Francis and Edward, of this city, Michael w. Middletown and Patrick Keefe of Hartford The daughters are Mrs Neil Corkory of this city and Mrs James Hayes of Elizabethport, N. J.
 The remains will be taken to An sonia for burial Sunday morning in charge of Undertaken w. J. Spain.
 Aside from the shocking accident which cost Mrs Keefe her life, the fire did not amount to much, the oc- cupants of the building having it we'll in hand when the department reached there, so that the damage will not exceed sl00.

 Mahon. Now in Europe.

Hands Across the Sea-" is the title of the last postal card received from P. J. McMahon. It is a very neat design and in addition to the clasped hands 1t contains Irish and American banners woven in silk. When MT McMahon was about to start for the old country Attorney Russell requested him to have a look at the huge tree on the Spencer es- tate near the scene of The Meeting of the Waters" in Wexford. and see If his name was still visible on it. Like many others Mr Russell cut his name in the tree when he was oyer there and he thought 1t would be of some interest to Mir McMahon to fol- low suit. The other day Mir Russell received a postal card from Mir Mo- Mahon on which was written the words: Your name killed 1t. The tree died last year and the neighbors can't understand what happened t."

Gasoline In Tailor Shops Starts I've
 COnfiagrations.
 PITTSBURG, Aug. 23. Two fires caused by the explosion of gasoline in clothes pressing establishments caused damage estimated at $250,000 and for time threatened the entire east end section ofthis city. The first fire broke out shortly before noon in the Club Pressing and Cleaning company at 63S9 Penn avenue. The three story brick building was destroyed, and fourteen employees were rescued from the win dows by firemen.
 The second fire was more serious, and before 1t was controlled seven buildings were wiped out. The blaze started in the Enterprise Pressing com pany's shop at 5975 Center avenue about o'clock and spread with great rapidity east and west. Soon the fol. lowing places were in flames: Allen Rug Weaving and Carpet Cleaning company, 5979-s1 Center avenue; East Liberty Auto company, 5969-71 Center avenue; American Reduction company, 5967 Center avenue: East End Mantel and Tile company. 591s Baum street; Crown laundry, 1920 Baum street; An drew Pafenbach. horseshoer, 5973 Cen ter avenue; Snlvely Plumbing company, 5975 Center avenue.
 A number of automobile garages in the neighborhood had quantities of gas oline on hand. and barrels and tanks of the fuel were removed from the vicini. ty. A hundred or more automobiles were run out of the garages and for a time lined either curb for block sev. eral blocks from the burning district.
 The flames made great roar and leaped into the air fifty feet above the burning buildings.
 Four firemen were hurt during the fighting of the fire.
