CLARK ST EXTENSION
John Henderson ir. Has Some-
 thing 10 Say on the Subject.

Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: Please allow me to say a word about the much needed ex- tension of Clark street for which the city authorities have been asked to make a special appropriation. It is a matter that has been before every administration in one form or an other since 1896. A few years pre- vious to that time the first improve ment on what is now called Wash ington avenue was made by the city. A certain portion of it, 501 in length, had four houses on one side, but none on the other. A layout and grade had been established, but when those who owned the houses saw the work being done they did not like the shape in which it was going to leave their property and they got the city's workmen to change the grade.
 The height of their ambition was to have a concrete sidewalk, and when they got it at grade to suit them selves and the street was worked to half its width, with a fence to sepa- rate it from the unfinished half, they were very we'll satisfied. They did not think that the changing of the grade without authority was very serious matter, and they failed to see that the rapid growth of the city would bring it to light, as it did, all though every device was resorted to for the purpose of concealing it; they simply acted like children.
 For the consequences of their mis- demeanor the city alone is responsible. The only remedy that can now be found is to extend Clark street. If the mayor ever thought of doing this section of the city favor, now is his opportunity.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN HENDERSON, Jr.

BAsTONE AT HOSPITAL.
Nearly Asphyxiated Yesterday Morn
 ing at Hotel Heinie.

Francesca Bastone, age 24, was found in room in the Hotel Heinie yesterday morning about o'clock in critical condition, caused by inhal- ing gas. When the room was entered by the breaking of the door Frank Keeley, night clerk, and Joseph Rus sell found Bastone almost asphyxiated with the gas jet fully on. It is thought that the young man was in Respondent mood because of money which he is said to have lost recently and because of news received from his home in Italy that his mother was seiously ill. He was taken to the Waterbury hospital and although 1t was thought he would not recover his condition to-day was much more fav- orable and he has good chance of pulling through.
 Bastone entered the hotel Sunday morning about 1 o'clock, but only had fifty cents to pay for seventy five cent room. Nevertheless he was assigned to Room 6. No more was thought of him until yesterday morn ing.
 About 9 o'clock while passing his door one of the chambermaids smell ed gas and she found that it was coming from his room. When the in mate of the room did not respond to the repeated knocking on the door Night Clerk Keeley with the assist ance of others broke down the door and found Bastone stretched out on the bed. Dr Brennan was called as well as priest. After working over the man for couple of hours Dr Brennan with the aid of Medical Ex- aminer Crane helped him consider ably and about 1 o'clock had him sent to the Waterbury hospital.
 Detective Thomas Colesanto, who investigated the case, said that a loaded revolver was found on a stand in the room.

JUDGMENTS GIVEN
Thomas Burns Loses Suit Against
 s. Z. POli.

Judgment in the cases of Thomas Burns against S. z. Poli and James B. Smith, Lumber company against John J. Sheehan were received from Judge Curtis to-day by Clerk Marsh of the superior court. In the Burns case the court found for the defend ant, and in his memorandum he says there were no hidden or latent dang CTS in the stairway leading to the gallery to which the plaintiff was going. Also that the muddy condi- tion of the stairway was caused by the ingress of the theater's patrons from the street, which were in slushy condition. The plaintiff knew all of this and whatever risk he took was on his own responsibility. He claimed damages of $1,000 for all legged injuries by falling down the stairway.
 In the other case judgment is given the plaintiff to recover $699.02, which was ninety eight cents less than the amount claimed, $700. This was a dispute over the defendants bond for a quantity of lumber to be used by another party named McIver. The defendant after giving his check to the plaintiff for the amount of wood required stopped payment on it.
 There will be no session of court tomorrow owing to a meeting of the judiciary of the superior court called by Chief Justice Baldwin to take action on the revised rules of practice.

sCOME BACK TO ERIN''
Large Audience at City Hall Last
 Night 10 Hear Concert.

It is not often that City hall is
 filled at concert, or any other event
 for that matter, but such was the
 case last evening, when an excellent
 entertainment was given by the
 "Come Back to Erin" company. The { affair was arranged and carried out under the auspices of the Queen $
 Daughters, who made no mistake in
 bringing the company, which is com
 posed not of quantity but quality, the
 number being three, to this city, Mrs
 J.J. Mcdonald of Ansonia, who lived
 for many years in this city; Miss
 Charlotte Holloway, city editor of
 the New London Day, and Peter
 Radican of Hartford, whose baritone
 voice has often been heard in Wa
 terbury. The Rev T. M. Crowley,
 pastor of St Thomas's church, made
 a brief address in which he made
 mention of the praiseworthy work ac-
 complished by the Queens Daugh-
 ters while they have been in this
 city. He, in his usual interesting way, stated why the organization was
 formed and the vast amount of charitable work that has been done
 by the Daughters. His compliment to the organization was fitting and we'll deserved. Mrs J. J. Mcdonald, who is perhaps better known in this city as Miss Farrell, followed with a solo, Come Back to Erin" Her sweet contralto voice apparently is just as good to-day as many years ago, and she was heartily encored. Mrs Mcdonald has been organist at the church of Assumption, Ansonia, for more than twenty-five years. She is the mother of Miss Retta McDon- aid, a soprano of rare ability, who has also often been heard iii this city. Later in the evening Mrs Nc Donald rendered "The Lakes of Kill larney," Rory O'More,'' "Vale of Avoca" and other popular Irish melo- dies.
 Miss Holloway is speaker much superior to the average woman lrc- turer. Last evening she described the scenes thrown on the canvas by luO IuONluS IioShiiiC anu ShsS some vivid word descriptions of the land of Erin. She is a very smooth talker and is most familiar with Irish history and the A. o. H. A return lecture some time in the near fu- ture would undoubtedly be much ap preciated
 The third and last member of the company, Peter Radican, was indeed entertaining, his baritone voice of very good range, plenty of power and full of melody, being even more enjoyable last evening than on his previous visits to this city. He sang "O'Donnell Aboo," ''Who Fears to Speak of '98" and other solos, all of which were finely rendered. The en- tertainment was brought to a close by the rendering of ''The Star Span gled Banner" the audience joining |in,
