WHO WANTS SEWELL?
Can inc City of Waterbury Of.
 ford Such a Luxury.

Just at the time when so much is
 heard about corporations and the
 manner in which they have been bleeding and trying the bleed munici-
 palities and the public, is must make
 the people of other cities wonder
 when they hear that the republicans
 of this city have as their nominee for
 the mayoralty a man, who has spent
 a number of years as manager of
 big corporation. Although the public
 has been given to understand that
 John E .Sewell has severed his con nection with the Connecticut com pany, Some are not led to that convic-
 ton in view of what they see. AL most invariably MT Sewell visits the office of the Connecticut Co on Grand street in the morning and his visits i'll the afternoon are almost as fre- quent. Some even go so far as to say that the resignng of Sewell was simply for the purpose of seeking the mayoralty nomination.
 And what a big thing it would be for this corporation which has endeav- ored at all times to get the better of the city in whatever way possible to have a man of its choice at the head of our municipality. Those conces- sions which they have sought for years would be theirs. They fully realize they would have a much better chance of getting from Mir Sewell what they have been consistently rel fused by our present executive who has,, been termed by many republicans of this city as 'the best mayor we ever had." What chance the city would have of receiving anything like req sonable returns for what it would turn over to one of the combines that at all times is ready to grab whatever comes its way Perhaps Mir Sewell would only give them what was just, perhaps he wouldn't
 But there is not much use in dis. cussing such conditions as the chances of MT Sewell defeating Mayor Thoms are slim. The present head of the city has given Waterbury an adminis- tration which Mir Sewell might be able to give but which very few think he IS. The man who wrote that the republican candidate has the interests of the city at heart must have had a broad grin on when he penned those lines. There is much comedy in them. And who for a moment thinks that MT Sewell knows as much about the needs of this city as our present mayor. John must have laughed hearty when he heard that.
 Notwithstanding statements to the contrary the leading men of this city know deep down in their hearts that William E. Thoms is good enough for them. They are aware from the administration of the past two years that he has done we'll and that it would be anything but the part of wisdom to turn him out of office to usher in John E. Sewell.

THE POLICE COURT.
John Shannahan Was Committed to
 Brookside for Thirty Days.

The troubled affairs of John Shan ! nahan and his wife of Clay street , were given an airing in the city court to-day before Judge Peasely, after Shannahan had held up the i court for half an hour by insisting
 upon getting counsel. After some time his Attorney F. P Guilfoile was found. Shannahan was charged by his wife with breach of the peace . last evening. A week ago Mrs Shan
 nahan brought an action for divorce
 and alimony. A week or two before
 that the Shannahans sold their
 when Mrs Shannahan brought her
 suit for divorce she incidentally tied
 up her husbands portion of the mon
 ey by an attachment. Attorney
 Guilfoile stated that trouble has been
 the lot of the Shannahans for the
 past six years. The eldest boy and
 girl are old enough to work and Mrs
 Shannahan thus feels independent of
 her husband. Hitherto, said Attor-
 ney Guilfoile, Shannahan never put
 in any defense whenever his wife had
 him arrested, merely because she was
 his wife. But he found this availed
 him nothing and it was about time
 his side of the story should be told
 Mrs Shannahan, said the lawyer, will not keep the boy, Willie, at school, and will not see that Frank keeps his work Shannahan got the boy work in almost every shop in town, to see if he could strike something he would like to work at,~ but nothing suited him. The boy has not worked since April and Helen,ra daughter, has not earned cent in six weeks. Last ev- ening when Shannahan struck Frank because he would not get hustle on and find work Mrs Shannahan went out on the street and had him arrest ed.
 Attorney Carmody who brought the action for divorce stated how he tried to patch up their troubles. Officer Neagle testified that Shanna- han was sober last evening when ar rested Attorney Guilfoile thought a of sentence would work all right but Prosecutor McGrath thought sojourn of thirty days or so in some institution would serve to get the rum out of Shannahan and that would clear up their family af- fairs. Shannahan was accordingly | committed to Brookside for thirty days. An appeal was taken.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Frank Johnson left this after noon to resume his studies at McGill university in Montreal.
 A basketball league will soon be organized among the members of the Brooklyn Athletic club.
 The next meeting of the Junior Amateur league will not be held un- til after the close of the season.
 No matter which ticket wins out in the third ward primaries to-day, the republicans will be compelled to get out and hustle on election day if they wish to land their aldermanic choices.
 John Henderson, chairman of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Im- provement committee, stated this morning that nothing but routine business would come before the meet ing this evening. At least he had heard of no new projects that were to be sprung and in his opinion none would be unearthed. The meeting will be held in the lyceum at the usual time.
 Unless the Merrimacs take fall out of the Pastimes in their coming contest the Brooklyn Athletic club will not be the winner of the City league championship this year. Should the westenders defeat the out east team the Pastimes will clinch the pennant. Should they lose, it will perhaps be a tie between the Brooklyns, Merrimacs and Pastimes as the first named team is likely to win it's two remaining games.
 The democratic party will re- ceive a number of the Lithuanian votes at the coming election. The voters of that nationality are we'll pleased with the administration of the past two years and the big ma pority of them will cast ballots for Mayor Thoms and the entire ticket. A well known Lithuanian informed the writer this morning that the sentiment among his people was ov- erwhelmingly for Thoms as the may orality choice.
