Senator In Answer to Mae Woods Di-

 New York. Oct. 5.-Voluminous and vehement denials were made by Sena- tor Thomas C. Platt. through his at- torneys, that he had ever married Miss Mae C. Wood. who is suing him for divorce. His attOrneys-O'Brien. Board man. Platt & Dunning-Obtained from Judge Ford in the supreme court an order directing her to show and dis cover" before Oct. 10 the alleged mar riage certificate on which she bases her assertion that she Is the lawfully welded wife of the venerable pOiiti- clan.

 That Their Departments Are in Good Condition.

of all the trials but lack or space forbids and it is sufficient to say that when man appeared for trial ne was given fair and impartial hear ing and punishment inflicted with out regard to party politics.
 In the bitterness of the attacks, and the attempts to slur the mayor and the democratic members Of the safety board, it has been practically asserted that the policemen and fire men were thoroughly disorganized and not fit to render good public service. The achievements of the fire and police departments are a sufficient answer to these accusa- tions. Not single charge of intoxi- cation has been made against a member of the police department since last October. Life and prop erty is safe in Waterbury. The officers of both departments are the same as those under the Elton ad- ministration, and are doing good, ef- ficient work.
 As to Dr O'Hara's bills, it is a cer- tainty that an unusual number of accidents have occurred in both de- partments; the records show this They also show that by vote of the board all bills for surgeons services must be incurred by and approved by the superintendents Of fire and police, both republicans. In addl. tion to this, by vote of tie board, al details for special duty are now made by the superintendent of police. tc whom application must be made by any citizen requiring such duty. Ii any officer now performs duty in any questionable place, the responsibili ty is where it ought to be, on the head of the department.
 As far as the matter of resigna tons is concerned, we want to sa! emphaticallY that the mayor has no now in his possession, and never ha' had, our resignations, all pewspapei gossip to that effect being erroneous He can have, however, the resigna tion of any or all of us at any tint that he feels that our ideas of mu nicipal policy do not agree with his
 The work of the departments i what tells the story, not partisan campaign literature.

Rate Favoritism Gives Oil Trust Big

Rate Favoritism Gives Oil Trust Big
 Advantage Over Independents.
 New York, Oct. 5.-Further testimo- ny showing the relentless pursuit of competitors by the Standard oil trust was taken in the proceedings to dis. solve the corporation, q representative of the New York Lubricating Oil com pany telling how the trust forced his company out of all the railroad trade in this country and then followed it into South Africa. To crush out the New York Lubricating oil company the Standard, he said, formed an alli- ance with all the steamship lines run ming from New York to Delagoa Bay, South Africa, and ruinous rates for carrying it's product were imposed en the victims of the combination.
 Before September. 1905, the New York Lubricating oil company paid 21s. Sd. ton for transportation to South Africa. In that month an alli- ance was formed by the steamship lines with the Standard, and the rate was jumped to SIS. Cd. ton. In Mo- vember of the same year the rate took another jump to 43s. 6d., at which it stands now. This is double the old rate.
 The Standard oil, through its subsid- iaries-the Colonial oil company, the Standard of New York, the Vacuum Oil company, Swan & Finch and Borne & Scrymser-made an omnibus agree ment covering all the steamship lines by which trust oil was to be carried to Delagoa Bay for les. 3d., with an add ed charge of shillings a ton for land ing the oil on the decks. This rate was lower than the rate that prevailed be. fore the Standard began to crush out the New York Lubricating oil con- pany. At the ruinous high rate now charged, the representative of the con- pany said, the New York Lubricating company would have to go out of busi- ness.

In the past two weeks the citizens of Waterbury have been treated to a series of articles refecting on the honesty and integrity of tho mayor and most of his appointees. especial ly the democratic members of the board of public safety.
 As members of that board, on whose heads much abuse has been heaped, it would perhaps not be amiss for us to say few words.
 In the first place, all sorts of charges have been hurled against us, probably in the heat of the cam paign excitement and without due regard to the rights of anyone. A stranger in Waterbury, reading these various accounts, would be- lieve that our public officials were a band of thugs and thieves. and that the lives of the community were in danger.
 The charges of graft in our board are absolutely without foundation and are a reflection on the common sense of the writers.
 Let us take up one or two of the alleged misdeeds of this board:
 In the matter of the police officer dismissed, the records of the board show that the officer was found gull ty not only of intOxication but o1 lying to his superior officers, in con nectiOn with some property alleged to have been stolen, there being no the slightest doubt of his guilt oI both charges. The trial was thu longest ever held by the board ant every chance was given the accused to prove his innocence, but the deep CT the matter was probed, the worse it appeared and the republican super intendent of police heartily approved of the action of the board.
 Take one other instance, that 0 an officer found guilty of drinking while on duty, and labeled by ou friends as a democrat. This maj had been on the police force fo twelve years without charge o any kind against him, and at thi time he had been working over stabbed Italian for about two hours and admitted taking drink 0 brandy. A substantial fine and rer rimand before the entire force wa imposed and this sentence was als approved by the superintendent c police as amply severe.
 We might recite similar instance

sofar as II conferred upon the circuit
court power TO amend chartebs Of
municipalities, or the general law re.
lating thereto, so as TO invest the coun.
ell thereof with the sole power TO
grant all licenses within the corporate
limits, because be reasons that this Is
comforting, upon the courts a matter
that is strictly legislative.
Judge Miller in the former opinion
held that the limit OF power the leg.
lslature intended to confer upon the
circuit courts Of the State Is confined,
and was Intended TO be confined, to
amendments embraced within the
scope Of the charter which court Is
authorized TO grant and certainly 1t
was never Intended 10 confer upon the
circuit court by that act power at Will
TO amend any and every provision Of
the neneral law or OF the charter, pow.
ers prescribed BY previous acts Of the
legislature.
Judge Poffenbarger, who is a resi-.
dent of PIT. Pleasant, was sick at the
time the court rendered the first opIn.
ion, but the court decided that the &C.
ton Of the circuit court Of Mason
county, upon the petition of five free.
holders, in amending the charter OF
the town Of PIT. Pleasant by giving the
council Of the said townt he sole
power TO grant all licenses within the
corporate limits Of the town was in.
valid and affirmed the decision Of the
lower court.
The syllabus Of the first opinion
said: 1.-THE Legislature cannot by gen.
cral law impose upon the courts Of
the State the duty of the power TO
exercise functions Of government in
their nature strictly legislative"
Section 9 of the syllabus said: "The
decree Of the circuit court Of Mason
county OF May .. 1881, by which, upon
the petition Of five freeholders, It was
