CITY NEWS.

Nothing but "hits' at American
 band concert and social Saturday evening at Buckingham hall. John J. McAvoy, Joseph Mcdonald,
 Patrick McNellis and John Kane, a quartette of the worst base ball cranks in town, went to New York to see the game.
 If you are having trouble with your feet call on Cummings & Thomp- son, the specialists, at 1S2 Cherry street. They have the famous instep supports.
 The suit of Mrs Margaret A. Dougherty against John Miranda to recover rent for Sore on East Main |street was heard by Judge Peasley in the city court, civil side, to-day. The defense was that when Mrs Dough- erty allowed other tenants in the same building to build garage rear access to Mirando's premises was cut of and the place was forever redolent of the odor of automobiles. Decision was reserved.
 The officers of Court Fruitful
 Vine, No 59e1, of the Ancient Or der of Foresters, met last evening in Foresters' hall, 151 Bank street, for the purpose of furthering the arr engagements for entertaining the members of all the courts of Ancient Foresters of Connecticut on date to be decided at the next regular meeting of Court Fruitful Vine. It was decided that all members of the court should meet at the depot at
 7:45 D. m. on Saturday, October 10 and leave by the 7:50 p. m. train for Ansonia to attend the annual cele- bration of Court John B. Gardner of Ansonia.
 A few of the boys in the south end held meeting last night and talked about the advisability of organizing a social club founded upon lines sim liar to those of the Chosen Few, for many years very prosperous organ ization In that district. It had rooms for time in Keefe's block on Ridge street and later on 1t removed to the Weiss building at the corner of Bald win and Stone streets. Nearly all tAt IellONS III thdt pdik VI tuS tOb belonged to 1t and many joined who lived in other sections. The club held It's first picnic at Nuhn's grove. now Hellmann's. on May IT, 1879. and the affair was the biggest thing of the kind ever held in Waterbury. If the new club Is started 1t Is likely that the old name. Chosen Few, will come to the front again. for all who expressed an opinion on the matter last night favored that name. The formation of such . society would take in almost all the members oi the White Oak association and the Evening Exchange club, two societies in that part of the town, one with headquarters under the shade of a tree near the Washington school and the other on the high bank on Bald win street, east side. near Stone street.

GOING HOME TO VOTE.
Ten Thousand Government Clerks to
 Follow Presidents Example.

Washington, Oct S.-It is estimat- ed that 10000 government clerks will go home to vote at the November elections.
 They will have the example of the president himself. He will leave here for Oyster Bay at midnight of the day before election. vote early next morning and return that night to receive the results in the executive offices.
 There has been some talk that the president might consider it pernicious activity for classified employees to go home and vote. but instead he encour- ages 1t as . part of the duty of citi' senBhip.

COURT ACCOMMODATIONS.
Civil Business Pushed Aside to Care
 for Criminal Cases.

Attorney Wilson H. Pierce thinks the greatest outrage inflicted upon the people of this community Is the lack of proper superior court accom- modations. He said this morning that from June to New Years every year for the past few years 1t Is sim ply impossible to get any civil busi- ness transacted In the superior court on account of the large docket of criminal business. The court should be run as 1t Is in New Haven, he said, where there is session of civil busi- ness going on in one court and crim- inal business In another court all the time from the first day of each term. MT Pierce is not the only lawyer who feels like this about the superior court, but he is the first to express himself individually and wasn't afraid of being quoted either.

SCARED BY NEAR BEER.
Non-Intoxicant Beverage May StoI the Manufacture of the Real Stuff.

NOn-IntOxicant Beverage May ctop
 the Manufacture of the Real Stuff.
 Pittsburg, Oct S.-Are half of the people of the country giving up the use of beer, whether they are forced to by prohibition or not? is the alarming question that confronts the Independent Brewing company, a concern composed of dozen or more big breweries of this city and it's vicinity. Tn the last few months so many towns in the Pittsburg district have gone dry" that the Independ- ent Brewing company, to keep even. placed on the market a mixture which looks like and tastes like beer.
 The prohibitionists approved 1t and finally the company had orders for far more than it could fill. In the meantime the sale of beer begzia to drop off even in towns where beer Is legally sold. Saloons in several towns were forced to go out of busi- ness because the demand for the new, non-intoxicating drink became so great. Finally the owners of the beer combine became alarmed.
 4 meeting of the stockholders of the company was held here yester- day, and there was much excitement. Two factions are represented in the combine, one the old German brew CTS, who want to brew nothing but beer. ale, etc. The other faction Is composed of young financiers. who have their money in the concern and do not care whether beer or threshing machines are made, just so the returns come in as they are do- ing at present. At yesterdays meet ing two of the directors threatened to resign, and there are rumors of a general reorganization of the com pany unless general understanding be reached.

POLITICAL POINTERS
BoLe Sml'b Noi ComIns. Sender
 Jobnsioa Takes Bis Place.

The democrats will hold q rousing rally in City hall tomorrow evening when they will start the campaign in this city. The Hon Hoke Smith, who was to be the speaker of the evening will be unable to attend, but the vot- CTS who have been waiting for some thing good will not be disappointed, for Senator Joseph Johnston of Ala bama Is coming. Johnstone is a real orator and persons falling to go to City hall tomorrow night will miss an eloquent address on the issues of the campaign. In addition to Sena- tor Johnston there will be Judge Townsend of Nebraska who Is also a fine talker and Mayor Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden who is running for ! congressman in the second district. Mayor William E. Thoms will pre- side over the rally.
 A drummer who comes to Water- bury every week said to-day that a colored politician of New Haven told him there were 10000 colored votes In this state and that while great many of them will be cast for Bryan and. the democratic state ticket in general, the majority of them will not vote for Taft. There are," said this drummer, who by the way Is sharp one, lover two and a half million new voters in this country since the last general election and how they will vote is question. On account of the stringency of the election laws and the laws pertaining to naturali- zation 1t is a very difficult matter to get an idea of how these two and 0 half million new voters will cast their vote." The drummer in ques. tion said that everywhere he has been since he was in Waterbury week ago, the general sentiment seemed to be favorable to the democratic state ticket. It ought to be said also that this man Is not democrat. A short time ago he was member of the Re- publican club in New Haven, but whether he is at present, is ques- tion.
 Delegates to the different conven- tions who have filed lists of expenses at the town clerks office got out of thing pretty cheap. Very few spent anything, so that there is no show for anybody to charge them with wrong doing.
 Probably the latest if not the new est thing in politics is an indexed re- port of the proceedings of the subma- rine commission in Washington which MT Lilley figured to his cost. The reader by referring to the index can get at any particular part of the report of the evidence in a moment. 1t Is very handy and interesting volume.
 Ella Reeves Bloor of this city will preside at the big Debs rally in New Haven this evening.
 The democratic convention to nomi- nate two representatives and justices of the peace will be held in the city court room, City hall, next Monday evening.

Betting on Election.

What is thought to be the largest election bet recorded in the financial district in New Haven on the result of the contest between Robertson and Lilley was made yesterday. Real money, to the amount of $2,400, was put up, which shows there is real business in this deal. Strange as it may seem, $1.400 represents the man who is backing Robertson, while the friend of MT Lilley had the short end,
