Of course Philip would be back later
to explain that he was unable to effect
an exchange into another car. Prob
abb he would spend the evening
across the section from her, and, un-
like the men, there was no place to
which Nancy could retreat.
She was genuinely surprised when
presently strange porter came for
the suit case, placing another in the
seat in it's place. She smiled to her
self with sa isfaction. 1t was plain to
be seen that she had shown Graham
how she had penetrated his plan, and
Z he had acknowledged his defeat Idly
she wondered If he would leave the
train at Philadelphia: then mentally
she scOlded herself for taking any IN
terest in Philip Graham's movements.
They were well past Philadelphia
when Graham passed her on his way
to the dining car, and Nancy rather
admired him for his persistence in re-
naming away from her. At least he
was too clever to betray his disap-
pointment that his ruse had failed.
The night had settled down. Lights
were dull, and reading was impossible.
Nancy had answered the first call for
dinner, and she resigned herself to
idling the long hour until the berths
were made up. The message calling
her home had been vague in the eX-
treme, and in its very vagueness 1t
was the more alarming. Her father
might be dying for all she knew, and
the thought bore down upon her.
She was peculiarly sensitive to
moods. and the atmosphere of the half
deserted car was depressing. Through
the closed door of the stateroom at
her back came the wailing cry of a
babv. TO which was occasionally added
the more Iusty note of growing child
Across the aisle a man played innu-
rnerabIe games of solitaire, the sharp
whir OF the shuttle punctuating his
gruntiug, half audible comments at thu
run of bad luck Just ahead two wont-
en- were discussing dressmaking In
ghrfll tones which rose above the
Eteady rattle of the train, and here and
there some man leaned idly back In
his seat and turned his newspaper
with rustic that Jared on nerves al
readv - tension.
Nancy felt that she must scream. She
had slept little the night before after

WHAT Is GROUND HOG DAY?

The origin of Ground Hog day is
accounted for In the Housekeeper for
February in the following way: Feb
ruary second, or Candlemas day, was
a favorlte holiday marked by public
gaiety and ceremonies in Europe dur
ing the middle ages. 1t is still marked
there by the closing of banks and
offices, but not otherwise, outside of
the reading of church services. In the
church calendar it is known as the
feast Of publication OF the virgin,
and was first instituted by Pope Ser
gius about the year 6S4 \. ID, The
popular name of the day is derived
from the early custom of lighting up
the churches with candles and carry
ing these in procession on this festi-
val. AS TO the weather superstition
that gives to Candlemas the name of
ground hog day" that is a world
wide fable. In Germany il Is the
badger that breaks his winter nap on
this day TO essay the thankless task
Of weather prophet; i'm France and
Switzerland il is the marmOt: in
England the hedgehog. Observation
shows that none Of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed. also
that weather on this date does not
accurately foretell that of the follow
ing two months, as Is supposed. But
il is a general truth that i'm temper
ate latitudes warm and sunny wealth
er i'm the first half Of February is apt
to be followed by n change and
cool spring. and on this fact our
ground hog and badger stories are
founded.

TROLLEY cos BOOKS
Commissioners Russell and Lord
Didn't See Them Yesterday.

Comptroller M. d. Russell and Com
missioner Lord of the board of fin
ance arrived home from New Haven
last evening where they journeyed
with view to having heart to
heart talk with officials of the trolley
company regarding percentages due
the city, lighter in pocket, but no
wiser than when they left. Vice-Pre-
sident Kockersperger received the
committee very kindly, but in reply
to their request to have look at the
books he assured them that he knew
of no books which the committee had
a right to see. Then Mr. Lord and
Mr. Russell bowed themselves out
and headed homeward by way Of the
trolley road, arriving here about s
O'Clock last night, cold and Of the
opinion that this thing of going to
New Haven on such mission was
nothing more than a money making
scheme for the company.

CBATFIELD HEARING
VIII Be Held on Tuesday Of
Next Week.

The hearing of the charges against
Building Inspector A. 1. Chattieid has
been put forward day, next Thurs
day, instead of Wednesday, and 1t
seems now that the city will have to
hire hall in which to hold 1t unless
the auditorium in the city hall or the
city court room suffices.
1t was thought better to hold 1t in
one of the court rooms in the terra
Gotta building on Leavenworth street,
but it looked to-day as if both rooms
will be engaged every day next week.
The tower room in the Leavenworth
street engine house is surely a most
inconvenient place to hold it. 1t would
be almost impossible to hold it in the
city court for over an hour at n time,
on account of the bad ventilation; the
aldermans room is not large enough,
SO the only place left is the big room
upstairs in the city hall, and that is
not fitted up with accommodations
such as this hearing will require.
The change in date for the hearing
was Occasioned by Attorney Lewis,
who will assist Attorney Bronson,
counsel for Mr. Chattield, being out Of
town next Wednesday. 1t is report
ed to-day that Attorney Bronson has
made up his mind to change his tao
tics from what he said yesterday they
would be; he intends summoning every
prominent man in the building trades
in Waterbury who ever said good
word for Mr. Chatfield, irrespective of
time or expense.
By the way, it has been said that
this Office of building inspector was
created especially for Mr. Chatfield.
There seems to be more truth than
poetry In this statement, for one thing
is certain Is that whoever succeeds
Mr. Chatfield, for he cannot hold that
office forever, will not be an incum-
bent during good conduct, as he is.
The amendment to the charter which
makes the office permanent says speci-
fically that the present inspector Of
buildings shall hold it during good be-
havior. That specification would not
hold good with his successor, who
therefore would become an appointee
during the term of the administration
by which he was appointed.
Now, Mayor Thoms is of the opin-
ion that this specification of the
to the charter is in con-
flict with the federal constitution, and
also of the constitution of the state,
which state plainly that no citizen
shall be given any special privileges
above any other citizen. his special
reference to the building inspector in
the amendment mentioned, is in the
opinion of many local lawyers, spec
ial privilege to Mr. Chatfield.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Joseph Smith Is in recent of
several attractive souvenirs sent from
italy by his brother, Frank, who is
In seminary there, studying for the
priesthood. He likes the country
well.
Although the Pioneers were de-
feated by the Telegram Square bas-
ketball team at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
evening, the Brooklyn team will un-
doubtedly turn the tables if a return
game is played in the B. A. C. rooms.
Bank street from the station to
the bridge was very cold place to-
day. Any one who had occasion to
cover the distance must have imagin-
ed that he was not far from the
north pole. 1t Is one of the coolest
spots in the city.
The battle is due to start at s
O'Clock. Medical attendance and
nurses will be present to render aid
to the injured while an ambulance
will be in waiting to carry home any
one that is not able to ambulate. or
course every one understands that in
the second encounter of the BROOKLYN
polo team and the Hamilton Parks at
the Auditorium this evening is likely
to be the real thing If II is similar to
the last engagement of the quintettes.
The Brooklyn Improvement SC
ciety continues to add to the men,
bership and in all probability several
new faces will be present at the next
meeting. The roster now contains
more than fifty names. The society
hopes that before many months have
passed the name of at least every tax
payer in Brooklyn will be on the list,
also residents of this section who
even though not paying taxes would
like to see the section bettered. The
society at present is doing more than
ever before to have that long awaited
extension Of Clark street started and
does not intend to let up until they
learn whether or not the improve
ment Is going to be put through.
There has been a rumor going
the rounds that the Rev U. deHartI
Gulick. pastor of the Third Congre-
gational church, will be asked to re-
sign by the congregation as the result
of the notorlety he has recently re-
ceiyed because Of some unpaid bills.
The writer talked with some promiu-
ent members of the congregation to-
day and was informed that Mr. GuIick
will not be disturbed. Although
since the resignation of the Rev r.
II. Root there has been some little
feeling in the parish. Mr. Gulick has
given satisfaction. The parish is now
in a fOurishing condition and II the
pastor should resign il would cause
a big change In the plans Of the
church.
1t Is said that a slam hang fight
occurred in one OF the saloons on
Bank street last evening during
which one Of the contestants was hit
IN the forehead with a pool ball. He
was laid out for about half an hour.
The row started over a game Of cards.
II looks as though the Telegram team
had a couple of "ringers~ last even
ing. az least some Of the Pioneer
rootsrs think 50. The uptown bovs
found thew could not ride rough shod
over the Brooklynites and received 1
nearly zs much a. they gave. Thei
game last evening By no means set
ties the question as to which Is the
better team and another game will IN /
al PROBABILITY be arranged for the
near future

THE POLICE COURT.
Man Found Asleep in Bank Street
Building Sent to Jail.

Frank Flaherty was found asleep
on the top floor of the Jones-Morgan
& Co.'S building on Bank street at 4
O'Clock this morning by officer
Neagle. In the city court to-day
Flaherty denied he was vagrant He
was committed to Jail for thirty days.
The state was not ready to pro-
coed with the cases of the two young
men, Daniel Mccarthy and Edward
Mulvey, who are held for breaking
into Ray Estey's house on Central
avenue and taking some pieces of
jewelry and other things. The
young men were brought here from
Hartford yesterday the police there
failing to have them bound over for
burglary. A lot of paper money of
war times was found on them besides
a few other things, but Mr. Estey fail
ed to identify any of 1t as his prop
erty. The. local police are confident
they will "stick" both young men.
They were held for trial tomorrow
morning in bail of $1,000.

TO ROME FOR FACTS
An UDbeliever Came Away a
Confirmed Catholic.
Editor Evening Democrat:

Editor Evening Democrat:
Having read Father Crowleys ar
ticle in yesterdays Evening Democrat
| was induced to congratulate him on
his zeal and skilfulness of arguments
and speech. Father Crowley shows
that he had studied well both sides
of the question at stake; not like
those, who either being ignorant of
the history of the church, or pretend
ing to be ignorant, attempt at once
to make history of their own with
out any foundation. Most Of them
are boasting of having studied both
sides of the question, namely, the
Catholic side as we'll as Protestant
ism. l think there is no exaggera-
ton to assert, that, to study we'll the
Roman Catholic side alone, examin-
ing carefully the Vatican library
alone, the age of Mathuasael is by
far too short. What | would sug-
gest to any intellectual Protestant, is
to do as Mr. Hurter did. Mr. Hurter
thought he could demonstrate to the
world at large the foolishness of the
Roman Catholic church, by going to
the Vatican library, and obtaining
a great many arguments ex ipso fonte
of Catholicity. Finally, he went
there and obtained permission from
holy father, to spend there a few
months in reading and studying all
the books of the Vatican library.
After he finished his task, he came
IN the holy father and said: Father,
now l am your obedient child And
at the same time, he told the pope
his object of having come to Rome.
| think if every Protestant would
study as diligently as Hurter did
the question of the Roman Catholic
church, there would be no more
Protestants. P. SAURUSA1T1S.

of the superior court this morning
that he expects to be able to hold a
short calendar session here to-mor-
NOR morning at 10 o'clock. The
judge is at present engaged on
murder trial in Willimantic and he
expected that the jury will give
final report by this afternoon in
which case he will be able to hold

nothing very particular on the short
calendar list for tomorrow, all mat
tiers on it'being motions of minor
character. Cases will be sent down
for hearing next week, the selections
to be taken from the thirteen cases
now on the trial list, and these stand
in the order they were left in when
court adjourned last December.

NAUGATUCK SUIT ON.
Court Room Crowded With People
From the Rubber Town.

Whenever a case from the town of
Naugatuck is on trial in Waterbury
1t seems that one-half the people of
that place are in court. There was
Naugatuck case in the district court
to-day and there was hardly a seat
vacant in the room. The plaintiffs
were Mrs Della Farrell and her hus-
band, Charles, and Edwin Smith was
the defendant. Attorney Kennedy
appeared for the plaintiff and c. G..
Root for the defendant. Real estate
and rents were the issue. The plain
tiffs claimed the defendant took
wrongful possession of land belong
ing to them and still retains possess
ion and has kept the rents and other
profits accruing from it. Damages of
$1,000 is claimed. The defense was
a general denial.

CHARGES AGAINST
CITY MARSHAL
ALLEGATIONS RESULTING FROM
RECENT AFFRAY ARE FILED
WITH THE BOARD.
DEAD Dog FIGURES IN The CASE
Officer Alleged to Have Shot Canine
Without Any Just Pro-
vocation.

A feature Of the meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen Thurs.
day night was the filing of charges
against City Marshal Charles Nor
gan. These charges grow out of the
scrap at the City Hall one night sew
eral months since, in which Mr.. Nor
gan had Odie Dawson, Ninnfon Evans
Will Lansdowne, owen Friel, Simon
Hardison and others on his hands at
one time. Suit was filed later as a
result of the affair and is now pend
ing against Mr. Morgan in the Circuit
Court.
The first of the charges related to
this affair and was signed by Owen
Friel, Otey Dawson and Will Lans-
downe, who asked that the Board in
We stigate the charges and if found to
BE IS related that the officer be dealt
with
Will Lansdowne filed separate
charges in which he stated that Mr..
Morgan had shot and killed a dog re,
Gently simply from the fact that the
dog was fighting dog belonging to
the officer and when protest was en-
tered had threatened to use his gun
on the man making the protest. That
he had also abused and cursed a citi-
zen of Mt. Pleasant and drew is gun
On him.
In view of the case pending against
Mr.. Morgan, 1t was moved that action
be deferred and the matter be re-
erred to the Police Committee for
Investigation.
