 -The democrats of tue third ward
 will meet the coming week and frame a ticket and it is likely to be strong
 ticket too. Fully aware that the re- publicans are rent asunder i'll the
 third, the democrats will make the
 fight of their lives to get an alder man in the third. Although they know they are working against mighty
 big odds, they believe there IS pos sible chance. The men that are spok- en of as aldermanic nominees are At torney Francis r. Guilfoile, Frank Wells, son of Ambrose Wells Of the finance board and Richard Herman. It is pretty strong looking trio and if there is to be a democratic alderman from the third ward, either of the three would make an excellent representative.
 The fourth ward democrats will meet at headquarters on Tuesday evening and there promises to be lively gathering. Daniel J. Mahaney expects to defeat John Malone for place on the aldermanic ticket, while Mir Malone is confident that he will again be chosen to represent the dis trict. Dan says that the opposition to him has endeavored to hold 4 couple of snap caucauses recently, but the coups did not realize. He is of the opinion that MT Malone had nothing to do with them, out believes that some of his, Mahaney's, eneuies were at the bottom of the plot to kill his chances. 'Yes, I hear, said Ma nancy, "they tried to run off a meeting during the week without even notify ing the chairman of the ward com mittee, but one of my friends became aware of the scheme and there was nothing doing. All want is a square deal in this matter and if I am not the choice of the caucus am willing to drop out In the fight between Malone and Mahaney it is said that Thomas Wagner will remain neutral, although Malone's friends claim that Tom will throw his support to their candidate. It is likely to be an inter- esting contest.
 Realizing that some of the im- provements which it is advocating have a bearing on the interests of the entire city. the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society is seriously thinking of holding a mass meeting of all the taxpayers of Waterbury. If the plans materialize, at some time in the near future, the gathering will be held ip the Auditorium. At the meeting of the committee last even- ing the members discussed the mat ter at some length, but it was finally put over until a future meeting. The members are of the opinion that the idea. is a good one and that all the people will have chance to be heard on matters which are of vital im- portance to the municipality. The meeting last evening, which was the first held in about six weeks, was well attended and was very har- monious session. Politics were stren- uously avoided and there was noth- ing which went to show that there was any i'll feeling between the mepl- bers. Hans Rasmussen was about to tell the members something m confidence when Dave" Walker in- formed him that there was reporter present. so Hans closed up.. It was thought that the society would ell. dorse Mayor Thoms, but evidently they let 1t go over until later date. The members declare that nuisance exists in front of the Hygeia Ice plant on Bank street in as much as the street is blocked at times by heavy wagons. A committee consisting cf James Tyack and Patrick McNamara was appointed to call upon Superin- tendent Beach of the police depart ment to have him have the nuisance abated. The old committee did not have time to attend to the matter so upon their approval another commit tee was selected. The committee which called upon the mayor to urge him to hasten the extension of Clark street stated that there was no money to do the work. The mayor wishes the job started. but as the bonds could not he sold, there is a shortage of coin. The committee was left standing. The organization will meet again in two weeks.
