The battle between the ID. e. c. line
and the new Saginaw Valley Steam
ship Co, for business between Detroit

into merry war. The first skirmish
was won Tuesday when the ID. Il c.

landing at the Stevenson dock at the
foot of Randolph-st.. which the Sag
inaw people had leased from the Gras-
sell Chemical Co. John Stevenson
claims to have lease on the dock
until June 10. The Flora found a

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Brooklyn polo team seems
to be going back. They had their
hands full last evening defeating the
Ivys.
1t is said one of the attractions
at the entertainment in the Town
Plot school building this evening will
be a dog exhibit.
A large attendance was at the
entertainment given in the parlors
of the Third church last evening by
the members of the gymnasium de-
partment.
The members of the Brooklyn
Improvement society will meet this
evening and attend the entertainment
at the Town Plot school, which will
be given under the auspices of the
Town Plot Improvement society.
The Pioneers will give their
stannual dance in Odd Fellows
hall this evening. The club is COM
posed of many of the prominent
young men of Brooklyn, who will un-
doubtedly make it pleasant for all
who attend their dance this evening.
Edward r. Callahan, the sani-
tary inspector, was expected to visit
Brooklyn this morning in order to
make another investigation in regard
to the conditions that cause that
awful odor to permeate through
Brooklyn during the night time.
That nauseating stencil so often
prevalent in the air across the bridge
was very much In evidence last even
ing. 1t had been conspicuous by its
absence for some time, but last night
1t made up for its failure to call
a malodorous aroma! 1t was enough
to make a person wish that he had
no nostrils. The foul odor first made
itself felt about $3.50 and from that
hour until this morning the atmos-
phere of Brooklyn was heavy with
the poisonous gas fumes from the
Naugatuck river-for there seems to
be very little doubt but what the
stencil is caused by drainage from
the gas tank into the river Even
this morning there was heavy coat
ing on the Naugatuck river, and this
unquestionably was the smell dis
penser last night. The last time that
the health authorities made an in
vestigation-some months ago-it
was thought they had placed the
blame where 1t belonged and that
the Brooklyn people would have
chance to breathe half decent air in
the future.
If you have to suffer from any
of the ills that flesh is heir to, 1t
may be necessary to see a doctor.
The next important thing is to get
your prescription filled where you
are sure of careful attention and
pure drugs. Walker. the Brooklyn
druggist, fills the bill in this re-
spect. ....

BOARD OF FINANCE
Legislature Ruled That Salaries
Should Be Paid.

The board Of finance met yesterday
afternoon, all the members being
present except Mayor Thoms, who
was out of town.
Commissioners Chase and Lord, the
committee appointed some time ago
to make a thorough inquiry into the
matter Of back salaries for certain
city officials, acting upon an opinion
given them by City Attorney Kel-
logg, which stated that the increases
in salaries date legally from the pas
sage of the act, submitted a report
recommending that the additions be
paid from that date, which was
adopted. There was no discussion on
1t, because, as a member of the COM
mittee remarked, there was nothing
to discuss. The legislature had made
the law and there was nothing for
the commissioners to do but conform
to it. Whether the increases will be
accepted is nothing that concerns the
board one way or the other.
The recommendation of the fin
ance committee of the board of safe
ty that the salary of the captain of
the police force be increased to 81
day was adopted. 1t was explained
that this was provided for in the es-
Inmates for the current year. The re-
commentator of the board of public
works that the salary of the superin-
tendent of streets be increased from
$1,000 to $500 per year and that of
the superintendent of sewers from
$1,000 to $1,000 was adopted.
The pay rolls and few bills were
read and approved. The bond of
Comptroller Russell from the Nation
al Surety Co was referred to a COM
mittee consisting of Commissioners
Chase and Lord for investigation re-
garding the standing of the company.

Mrs Catherine Bonnard, whose maiden
name was Hauser, was the plaintiff.
Mrs Bonnard was represented by At
torney A. p. Hayes. The witnesses
We're Mrs Mary Mordland. Mrs Maui

Bonnard was deserter from the
United States army at the time of his
marriage, which took place in New
York city, January 6, 1906. The de-
PENDANT was then living under the
name of Hughes. The couple came to
Waterbury directly after their mar
riage and they lived here until the sue
ceeding August, when Mrs Bonnard
left her husband, unable any longer
to stand his cruel treatment and in
temperate habits. The witnesses tes-
tilted to seeing Bonnard ON one occas-
ion chase his wife with revolver and
frequently they saw him beat her.
On this evidence the divorce was
granted.
