THE NEW STREETS
David Hunter Wants Old Streets
 Repaired First. 7.

David Hunter of Simonsville oc-
 cupied a seat in the spectators gall
 lery during the meeting of the alder
 men Monday night and when it was over he remarked to Chairman
 Filling that he regarded it a shame
 for the board to act favorably upon
 so much new work while streets
 ordered laid out years ago are yet
 unfinished for the reason that there
 is not money enough on hand to en- able the department to complete
 them. MT Hunter wanted to know
 whether the work passed upon Mon-
 day night would wait for its turn or
 if it was the intention to keep other
 things on the waiting list and push
 what had come in last. MT Filling
 was something the next board of al-
 dermen would have to decide. The
 questions asked by MT Hunter were
 timely. In the past it has been cus- tomary to allow projects to stand for years and finish others that came
 up later. It does seem that, unless
 in cases where there is urgent de- mand for some improvement, there should be fair distribution of the public money in the different districts instead of putting large share of it in one place and very little elsewhere
 Besides, everybody knows that under the system of taxation in Waterbury. people in the inside district are car rying more than their share of the burden, and until this is remedied and each person obliged to pay on an equitable basis, things should not move with a rush outside. If they don't want to pay let them wait. Men who look to politics for a living are tired about raising this point, but in this he is needlessly alarmed. Most men have sufficient common sense to know that they have no right to expect bargain prices from the city government, and if the matter should come up tomorrow and bel settled in manner which would be fair to all, it is hard to see how it could work to the detriment of any man or party. It is certain that change will have to be made in the system of taxation if the city is to continue laying out new streets, ex- tending water mains and sewers. | building sidewalks, adding to the of lights and strengthening the fire and police departments. If not people on the inside might just as we'll step down and out while they have any equity in their holdings.

 in States Prison. |

The trial jury of the superior court has been excused to next Tuesday morning, owing to lack of criminal business for this week. The case against William Fisher, the railroad engineer, who is charged with man slaughter, has been specially assigned for hearing on the first Tuesday in December. Fisher was engineer Of the train that was taking the New Haven lGreys and Governor Wood- ruff New Haven one morning after A!aving been entertained at a supper by local people at The Elton, and collided with a regular passen- ger train near the acid factory about o'clock in the morning. Fishei was engineer on the special train leaving Waterbury with the New Haven guests and at Hills siding, near the acid shop, the collision oc- cured. Fisher was the only one of the two engine crews that escaped. His whereabouts was a mystery for some days and at last he was To- cated with friends in Mt Carmel. It is said that he disobeyed orders in leaving the siding before the regular train from New Haven for Water- bury had passed Fishers counsel consists of Attorneys John Elliott and Howard E. Webb of New Haven, and it is expected that the case will take three weeks to try.
 The cases assigned for disposition yesterday were all cleared off the list before court adjourned, the last one being that against Menzo Robin son for attempting to murder Benja- min Torti near the crematory in Wa terville. He put bullet in Torti's chest that confined him to the hos pitil until a week or two ago. He first asked Torti for a match and in cold blood fired his revolver right into his chest. Menzo contended an other man, whose identity is still mystery, fired the shot. Judge Cur tiss imposed sentence of not less than ten and not more than fifteen years in the state prison.
 The following cases were nolled on payment of costs: Braunis Adamski and Wadislaw Schwderski, charged with attempted rape; Max Jeffe. charged with attempted burglary and Matthew Winslow, John Ray Stephen Davis and Barney Olden These men were charged with as- saulting Officer Patrick Roche at Forest Park.

TORPEDO ON CAR TRACKS
Score of People Injured, Two seri'
ously, at Chicago.

Chicago, May 29.-Two men were
badly injured by broken glass and a
score of others sustained slight In
1uries when a street car on the Calu-
met Electric railway was blown from
the tracks by a torpedo at Ninety
third street and South Chicago ave-
nue.. The explosion lifted the car from
the tracks and dumped 1t into the
roadway. The car was crowded with
men and In the panic that ensued
many were thrown down and trampled
upon.
A rumor which found considerable
credence was that the torpedo was
placed with the original design OF
blowing up prospective passengers on
the gambling boat City Of Traverse,
whose landing place is about block
away. the theory advanced being that
1t was planted either by religious
fanatics or by rivals Of the City OF
Traverse crowd. The police are In
vestigating this report, but have found
no evidence to substantiate It.
