LIEUTENANT AND
ACTING GOVERNOR
This Is the Title of ID. s. Dick
erson, Present Lieutenant
Governor of Nevada

A question as to the legal status OF
Lieutenant Governor Dickerson has
been raised since the death Of Governor
Sparks as was raised once before In this
State and decided by the Supreme Court,
thus setting a precedent. The case grew
out Of the death of Governor John E.
Jones, April 10. 1895. and the taking OF
the Governorship by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Reinhold Sadler.
In the election following the death
both parties selected candidates for
Lieutenant Governor and Senator G. II.
e. Hardin was declared elected to the
office Of Lieutenant Governor on the
theory that when the Lieutenant Gov
ernor assumed the duties of Governor
that thereby the office of Lieutenant
Governor became vacant. Sadler re-
fused to issue q certificate Of election to
Mr.. Hardin sEd the latter Immediately
instituted mandamus proceedings in
the Supreme Court to compel him to do
80. The court held that under the con-
stitution there was no vacancy in the
office of Lieutenant Governor (; thai Mr.
Eadler remained Lieutenant Governor,
clothed with the additional duties Of
Governor. His official acts we're there
after signed with the designation Of
"L,eutenant and Acting Governor
and this will consequently be the title
OF d. s. Dicksrson. present Lieutenanl
Governor.
IL another opinion Of the Supreme
Court it was held that upon the deatt
Of the Governor. the Lieutenant ant
Acting Governor was entitled to th'
salary attached to the Office of Governo'
bat not that Of Lieutenant Governor.
In the absence Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dickerson from the State or il
case Of his disability Senator j. d
Campbell, president pro ten of the Sen
ate. will be Acting Governor.

WOODBURY TROLLEY
Lise Officially Opened Teday-
 Slsri nsde sl il O'Clock.

The Woodbury-Wsterb trolley line was ofhcially opened this fore noon at II o'clock though 1t will not begin business until tomorrow morn ins. Quite a number of people were on hand to see the departure of the oflcial car of the board of directors of the Connecticut company from the green, followed by two specials for the accommodation of the companys guests and number who were in- vited by the town of Woodbury, many of them citizens of the place.
 It was nearing II o'clock when the dark green car of the board of d. rectors stopped on East Main street, having come from New Haven over the Cheshire-Mount Carmel route and exactly II o'clock 1t started for Woodbury followed by the special cars.
 Among those on board the official car were the president of the com pany Charles s. Mellen, Charles ". Brooker, president of the American Brass company; John H. Whitte- more, president of the Colonial Trust company and the Cleveland, o, Nal leable Iron company; his son Harris, president of the Naugatuck Malleable Iron company; M. J. Leary, general passenger agent for the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co; James s. Elton, a director of that company; Mayor William P. Thoms, City Engineer Robert A. Cairns, and John M. Punderford, general manager for the Connecticut company.
 Without stop the cars sped on to their destination, passing through delightful scenery and pastoral views. Arriving in Woodbury, the whole party was the guest of the town. Dinner was served in the Curtis house in the early afternoon. There were speeches by MT Mellen and others on the look out of trolley ex- tension in these parts and the re- lationship between corporate bodies and the public. Mayor Thoms told what the city of Waterbury has done for the trolley and the tseam roads and the whole afternoon was occu- pied in this manner.
 This evening there will be fire works and the whole town will cele- brate the advent of the trolley.

IRISH EXHIBIT.
Unique Affair to Be Given by St
 Joseph's T. A. Society.

It is rather surprising to many of us to learn4that within the past eighty years more than four million Irishmen and women have landed in the United States. Many of these people had the desire after they were in this country for some time of re- turning to the Emerald Isle, but the opportunity did not come and they never returned. Again it is surpris- ing that most Americans know so lit- tie of country whence have come such a number of their citizens. A study of Ireland, however, reveals many things which are very interest ing. The natural scenery of the country and her ruins have no equal in the world and the more one sees of them, especially those who were not born there, the more he wants to see. An opportunity to get good idea of the scenery and the history of this country which is so dear to many of us may be gained by visiting the big Irish fair which St Joseph's T. A. society is to hold at City hall on the 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th of this month. Ex- tenslve preparations are being made for the affair and the entire hall IS to be converted into little Ireland. Affairs similar to the one which St Joseph's are to present have been held in New Haven and Hartford, and they have been very successful, visitors from all parts of the state at tending. Nothing will be left undone to make this affair the biggest thing of it's kind ever held in the city. It will be unlike the fairs of to-day in asmuch as there are no cash prizes to be given away, the only prize of fered being a grand trip to England, Scotland, Ireland or Paris. Other attractions will be given on the vari- ous nights, dancing will be feature, and there will be music every even- ing.

OFF DAY AT MELBOURNE.
Officers and Men of American Fleet
 Taking Things Easy.

Melbourne, Sept 1.--Adverse weather conditions, and a disposition on everybody's part to take things easy after yesterdays strenuous pro- gramme, combined to make to-day an off day in the way of special en- tertainment for the officers and men of the visiting American battleship fleet. The rain which began falling late last night. cutting short the Iner- rymaking of the memorable celebra- tion in honor of the visitors arrival here, continued during the night, and this morning the city and it's guests awoke to the prospect of a dull, damp day.
 Notwithstanding the unfayorable weather outlook, large parties from the battleships came ashore early, the men preparing to make the best of their shore leave and the officers to attend such functions as had been arranged for the day. These in- cluded luncheon at the agricultural show, and an exhibition by the state school children, along much the same lines as that at Sydney. On boar the Connecticut Admiral Sperry had made all arrangements for the re- ception to his officials hosts ashore. In the sporting programme for the day football match between a team selected from the sailors of the Min nesota and one from the Kentucky figured. Early to-day a party of 300 officers and men from the fleet wis. ited Ballarat. where they were cor dially entertained.
 As the day advanced the rain. which had been holding off fairly we'll, recommended, promising to cast damper oyer such proceedings as had been planned.
 It Is estimated that soc, 0,o00 per- sons witnesserd yesterdays proces- sion. The railways alone carried over 4o0, ,o00 to the scene of the fes- tivities.

FIRE IS ExTINGUIsHED.
Burned in an Oil We'll for the Past
 Two Months.

City of Mexico, Sept Word reached the firm of s. Pearson & Sons last night that the great. oil well fire which has ragged at Dos bocas, near Tampico for two months. was extinguished last Sunday.
 Six giant centrifugal pumps poured gravel and mud into the mouth of the boring well for 10 days and this coupled with persistent dynamite blasting choked the orifice and smothered the flames. The oil has again worked its way to the surface, and the we'll is flowing at the rate of 2,000 barrels day.
 Owing to the remoteness of the we'll the oil is being banked in a great reservoir. It is estimated that 3.000,000 barrels valued here at s3,000, ,000 was consumed by fire.

Charles Tyrrell and his wife parted on July 16 and since then Tyrrell has given her for the support of her self and their 15 months old child $S In consequence Mrs Tyrrell, who is quite young woman and lives on Walnut street, had her hus- band in the city court to-day on a charge of non-support. Mrs Tyrrell said the reason she does not live with her husband is that she is afraid of him. He was ordered to pay her $6 a week for six months, in default of which he will be committed to jail for sixty days. Tyrrell made no de- fense.
 Mary Durham was committed to Brookside for ninety days in charges of intoxication and common drunk ard.

squaring up for some real or fancied local grievance than in aiming at the source of the whole trouble. What wonder, then, that a few peo- pie succeed in keeping the reins al. most all the time?
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-09-01

The contention that we need some
 changes in the charter is all right
 and should be pushed until the peo-
 pie will have an opportunity to vote
 for all public servants, including the
 bureau of assessment, the engineer,
 the board of assessors and the com
 missioners of the several boards. This Is the democratic idea of it. but on the other side the subject is
 viewed differently and the men at
 the helm want as few names as pos sible on the ticket election day. The
 great trouble with many who discuss
 this question Is that they persist in laying the blame at the wrong door. What has the democrats of Waterbury or any other town in the state got to do with the making of the different charter amendment The present administration succeeu- ed in getting an amendment to the charter last year which enabled the city to lay water mains by the day instead of by contract, and 1t goes without saying that it came in just right. Why not advocate some more anu hccp dt IL untAi sou nav cuSAA - charter as the city needs? The city should be doing its own paving and constructing sewers. but under the law as it now exists such a thing is out of the question. The city would like to build conduits in the public streets and compel the telephone
 company and other concerns that maintain overhead wires to use them. but the legislature says they shall not make a move in that direction. A few months ago almost every man in town was up In arms about this and one would think by what was being said nobody but a good demo- crat would stand show of being sent to Hartford this year. The time 1 to put this talk into practical opera ton is now at hand, but you don't i hear a word about it, almost every body who appears to be interested in ! such thines baing moro concerned in
