Weekly Review OF Trade and Latest

Of Trade says:
Industrial plants gradually en-
large the percentage of active ma
chinery, furnishing more work for
wage-earners, which stimulates re-
tall trade, while favorable crop pro-
gress strengthens confidence in
continuance of recovery In business.
New contracts for steel products are
being placed with more freedom and

the drouth
Outside representatives of job
bing houses are numerous in the
primary market for cotton goods
but operations are restricted, as is
customary at this season.
New England footwear shops are
still well occupied. but wholesalers
have left the Boston market without
placing any large volume Of business
and Western jobbers have not con
tinued to purchase as freely as open

of raw materials has forced shoe
manufacturers to advance figures.

Bradstreet's says:
Good crop reports, the advance
of. the season and growth in con-
tidence as to the trade outlook arc
reelected in reports of moderate en-
largement of future buying at few
large centers, notably in the West
and Southwest. Industrial lines, too.
have been benefited by evidences Of
revival in demand, and the number
of idle operatives has been reduced
as a whole.
Still the progress making Is of a
conservative kind, curtailment of in
dustry is still marked feature and
small orders for immediate shipment
largely make up the volume of busi-
ness doing by jobbers.
Best reports come from the Cen
trail West Northwest and Southwest,

advices from the South"

Politics like misery makes strange red fellows, and nobody knows thls my better than the registrars Of ,oters who will have to make about 1000 transfers this year, almost .hree times more than ever before. This is due to the hard times which prompted many to give up house. ieeping and live with the old folks or time, not because they desired hat plan, but as matter Of neces- ,ity, for so many were out of work something like this had to be done. And the scheme worked like a charm. To be sure the winding up of this unexpected consolidation of families nay result in breaking some out of house and home, for the young folks will dig out for themselves as soon as possible, in many instances prop- ably leaving the old folks to foot all the bills, but that's different, and entirely foreign from what we stars- ed out to talk about.
 The real purpose of this article is remind would be electors of Waterbury republicans as we'll as democrats, that unless their names Ire in the hands of the registrars on or before next Monday at o'clock in the afternoon they cannot be made his year. Remember this applies to lative born applicants as we'll as to hose who were born outside the United States. The law on this point rigid so that in case you neglect to 'egister by the time mentioned you will have to remain on the waiting list, for there appears to be no way of making amends for this sort of nc- ylect. Henry O'Cunnor, one of the registrars requested Democrat re- porter to-day to make this so plain that nobody can misunderstood 1t, because he nor anybody else has au- hority to put persons name on the "to be made" list after o'clock aext Monday. With a view to giving everybody who is eilgible to be made his fall an opportunity to register, he registrars will have deputies at he following places Monday up to o'clock in the afternoon: First yard, room 10, Platt block; second yard, Frank Pelkas tailor shop, Citizens bank building, North Main itreet; third ward, registrars office, Tity hall annex, Leavenworth street; ourth ward, Auditorium, South Main ,treet; fifth ward, Lawlor's cigar tore, East Main street; sixth district, ,ayers's drug store, Waterville.
 About the middle of next we., ioting machine or two will be placed I each ward so that all who may .ot be familiar with them may have
 mple time to get posted before lection. It is not much of trick learn. After one lesson, anybody t all can play on voting machine well as professional.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Tomorrow is communion Sunday or St Patrick's Holy Name society.
 The Rev John Conway and the Rev William Lafiin of. St Patrick's .hurch attended the funeral of Bish- op Tierney in Hartford yesterday.
 Charles Buck, who has been do- ing clerical work in the office of the Iellmann Brewing Go will leave to- morrow for Scranton, Pa, where he will be employed in a steel mill.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club foot ,al team will meet for practice to- morrow. They will play their first game a week from tomorrow. Games lave been arranged with teams in Hartford and Ansonia.
 The harvest festival given by he women of St Patrick's parish :ame to close in the parish hall on 'orter street last evening. The mati- nee for the children yesterday after loon was we'll attended.
 As yet there have been very few political arguments, in this section. The sidewalk debates are very con- 3picuous by their absence for the re- publican voters have no arguments to present this campaign. At least the friendly arguments seen frequently this section during past campaigns are not taking place this year.
 The proposed new route for the trolley to Town Plot is not meeting with much favor in this section and he taxpayers are apparently paying very little attention to It. If the people become engaged in quarreling as to which way the line will go whenever the trolley company is ready to build it. it Is safe betting that residents of the hill will be walking for the remainder of their lives.

THE CITY COURT.
Man Who Rified Refrigerator Fined
 $7 and Costs.

a
 John Cartlin was evidently both hungry and thirsty yesterday for he drank too much and he was charged with paying unlawful respects to neighbor's refrigerator and taking quantity of meat. However, he was not called to answer for taking the meat as the witness in the matter was not present in the city court to- day when the case against Cartlin for intoxication was taken up. Cart> lin had nothing to say for himself and he was fined $7 and costs.
 A case against c. s. Booth for keeping an unregistered dog was put over to Monday. Daniel Kill loughey made a sincere plea to the court for clemency. He was charg- ed with intoxication and was put on probation to pay a fine of $10 and costs.
 Frank Shusky, who was arrested . last Sunday morning for keeping a gambling house and selling intoxi- cants without license, in other words running Sunday club, for feited his bail of $500 on the case for running gambling house. His bondsman was Adolph Standitz, who runs saloon on East Main street. He settled the liquor case on pay ment of $50.

EXPLOSION SCARE
North Nah Street Trolley 10
 Copiscl wilh Torpedo.

It Is generally very quiet on North Square nights about o'clock but at that hour last night 1t was very lively. The usual bunch or politicians was having 1t out In the same old way and the trolley cars and automobiles were racing up and down, as usual, too. About the hour mentioned car bound for the center was passing near the water ing trough when a tremendous re port rang, out that brought people from all quarters. It was thought an automobile tire had exploded, put there was no automobiles in sight. No house had collapsed though the noise had cracking sound. For i've minutes people continued rushing to- ward the square to ascertain the cause of the alarming sound. The trolley car was stopped and 1t wal said 1t had been blown on the track, but there was no smoke ana the car was found to be still on the rails. Officer Simon Mccarthy was as busy as he could well be keeping the crowds away from the car and any possible danger. At the end Of about five minutes the car began to move but the cause of the loud re- port was still a mystery. The crowds gradually dispersed and when the trolley track was cleared the officer picked up a piece of tin tube which looked as if 1t had been shat tered. This was supposed to- be railroad torpedo but how it got on the track or what purpose 1t was there for is still mystery.

THE DISTRICT COURT.
Mrs F. M. Peasley Brought Suit foa
 Foreclosure.

Some time ago Luigi Spagnulo of New York city bought one of the eight family frame buildings on Park avenue from Julius Chotzianoff, giving his note for some $3,000. It seems he has neither. paid the inter- est or any of the principal, but has been collecting the rents and making no repairs. Chotzianoff, 1t seems sold the note to Mrs Idella M. Peas ley, wife of Judge F. M. Peasley, and she, fearing that the property was being neglected brought suit for fore closure against Spagnulo. At short calendar in the district court to-day there was a hearing on the matter. Spagnulo was not represented while Attorney Carmody appeared for the plaintiff. The hearing was for the appointment of a receiver and Att torney Walter E. Monagan was ap- pointed under bond of $500. His duty will be to collect the rents and have repairs made.
