 It was rumcred about town to-day that the new aldermen held | caucus last night with the mayor and agreed upon a plan of action for the next two years This is not so, or if 1t be all the aldermen elect were not pres ent. A representative of the Demo- crat inquired into the matter and was assured that there was no truth in the story.
 As was expected. an appeal has been taken to the supreme court from Judge Lowe's approval of the will or the late Mrs Catherine killOughey, who lived on James street and left her entire estate to St Patrick s church.

 The committee on abatements held 1 a meeting last night and passed upon a lot of petitions for abatements. | The principal reasons given were that the parties assessed could not | be found, most of them having left | for parts unknown All the con- | mittees of the board of aldermen are | working overtime in order to be able i to clean up everything before them on time for presentation to the alder | men at it's last session a week from next Monday night.
 l The past week the trolley men on the Cheshire line have been guessing what was the matter with large deer that seemed to have it's home near Summit. Apparently there was nothing about that vicinity to attract | it. To-day they observed the anima was quite lame and apparently in forlorn condition. One leg seemed tt be broken for it would fall to the ground at every step and had great difficulty in rising. An agent of the humane society was informed of the matter and he said he would see the deer and if necessary would kill it
 Shopping was brisk to-day in al the stores about the center. The wo men folks were out in full force ac companied by the children and al appeared to be buying something Now and then you hear it said tha business is dull in the shops, but i such be the case there is not mucl evidence of it in the stores. Prob ably this is due in measure to th opinion so generally expressed tha things will be rushing after the holi days, and besides times have beel good in Waterbury for many year
 past and most people have littl
 ahead.
