G. o. P. STATE TICKET.
Gates. Emmons and Gledhil the New
 Men on the Ticket.

The Journal-Courier says: Inter- esting in connection with the Legis- lative club outing at Momauguin last ex-Mayor Henney's friends are planning to have him run for repre- sentative from Hartford this fall in place of E. W. Hooker, who is now mayor. If he is elected representa- tive and the there seems to be no doubt that he will be if he will accept the nomination, an effort will be made to have him made speaker succeeding Major John o. Tilson of this city. MT .Henney would be far more acceptable to the railroad in terests than Judge Banks, who is most prominent of the other candi- dates at present, and is well and fla vorably known all over the state.
 In connection with the contest for the office of secretary of state the boom for Matthew S. Rogers of Bridgeport has fallen fiat, and the hot weather has been such that no breeze has yet been able to lift 1t. Theo- dore Bodenwein of New London, now secretary of state, has received inti- nation that his services will no long CT be required. Eli Gledhill of Stonington is believed to be the New London county man acceptable to Railroad Commissioner Fyler and will probably be the nominee for secre- tary of state.
 Fayette s. Wright. of Pomfret, is in the field for. comptroller against Senator Charles A. Gates of Willi- mantle. ..
 Many people are sore over tho treatment of Freeman F. Patten, state treasurer. Mir Patten is too independent to suit the powers that be and SO E. J. Emmons of New Mil ford will be given shoow. There is no objection to the nomination of Marcus H. Holcomb of Southington for the position of attorney general.
 The present favorite for the nom- ination for lieutenant governor is ex- Mayor Frank B. Weeks of Middle town. although there may be a change before the state convention. Ex-Mayor Henney of Hartford has been mentioned for the place. bu: has not encouraged his friends 70 work for him. His friends believe that he can arrive quicke. at the governorship by being speaker If the house than by being lieutenant governor.
 Major Blakeslee of New Haven, who is going back to the senate, wants to be president pro tenn and at present 1t looks as if his wish would be gratified as he is a Hlley man. From friend of Colonel ullman 1t Is learned that the New Haven dele gation to the state convention will be first for Woodruff and after that tor Lilley.
 The Lilley ticket. or at least the ticket which O. R. Fyler is trying to have the voters of Connecticut take, Is made up as follows:
 Governor-George L. Lilley of Waterbury.
 Lieutenant-Govern B. Weeks of Middletown.
 Secretary of State-Eli Gledhill of Stonington.
 State Treasurer-E. J. Emmons of New Milford.
 Comptroller-Charles A. Gates of willimantlc.
 Attorney-General - Marcus II. Holcomb of Southlngton.

BUILDING MAY TOPPLE
Safely Beard Heard CempIsint
 About Old Porter House.

Some of the tenants of the Eugene Martin property on Cole street are afraid that an old house in the rear of the Porter building at the juno ton of Cole and East Main streets. will topple over them some day. at least so said Mir Martin to the board of public safety last evening. He said, further, that some months ago Building Inspector Chatf1eld told him he would see that the building would be taken down, and the owner, William B. Brooks, promised him that he would tear 1t down. But from all he could see and judge from 1t appeared to MT Martin that neither the building inspector nor MT Brooks was a man of his word, and he thought 1t about time to inform the board of the danger to his ten ants and this menace in the heart of the city.
 The information did not seem to startle the board the smallest bit, but on motion of Commissioner Ma lone the building inspector was cited to appear before the board at it's next meeting and explain his part in the matter.
 The Citizens Lumber Go was al- lowed permission to install a fire alarm box on its property at its own expense.
 Applications from Daniel Doran and Edward J. Connor for jobs in the fire department, and one from Cassimir J. Yesvenski for the police department were filed.

TWO MORTGAGE NOTES
John Noriariy Paid Last Item
 on si25.OOO Today.

At 10 o'clock to-day John Mori. arty left for, record in the town clerks office papers showing that he has paid to John H. Whittemore the last item of s125.000, representing two mortgage notes, the security fol which was the Moriarty building or East Main street. The two notes were for $50,000 and $75.000 re- spectively and the agreement was that they should be paid "in gold coin of the United States of its pres ent standard of weight and fineness. Z They were issued II years ago to-day at to o'clock and the interest they were to draw and did draw was 1a per cent. :.
 The payment of these two noes shows the development of East Main street and what advances the city has made in II years.
 Eleven years ago there was a small wood in the heart of the city People were. crying out against the monopoly of amusement, then held by the late Eugene L. Jacques No. one thought of vaudeville then but everybody was crying out for an other theater to break the hold MT Jacques had on the people. Every once in while rumor would cir culate that some one was going 10 build another theater. The old premises of the American Pin com pany stood where Polls now stands back off the street, surrounded by about 35 or 40 fine old trees, and through them ran brook that was at least 12 feet wide.
 A wood in the heart of the city? It is difficult to conceive such a thing at this day. MT Moriarty had leased or bought the Ring company buildings, and his ear was low, to the ground and he heard the, rum blings of progress and the cries of the people for another house of, pub lie entertainment. He saw the op- portunity of life time and he seized it and so at 10 o'clock on Au- gust IS, 1897, II years ago today with plans for building that was to embrace dwellings, stores and a fine theater in his mind, John Mori- dTly gave HIS two UOleS to JOnn n Wfiittemore for $125, ,000, to be paid ''in the gold coin of the United States of its present standard of weight and fineness." .'
 Ground was soon broken for the erection of the building, the little wood in the heart of the city was obliterated and the present build ing was constructed. It houses about 100 people in it's tenements and contains stores, Poli's theater and the entrance to the theater, and besides this in the rear of the Eas. Main street property the Waterbury Storage Cos plant with its 200 rooms. There are also two large barns and the storehouses of the Austin & Woodruff Go. !.
 Mir Moriar;y felt a happy man to- day and to celebrate the. event of paying off his mortgage he will banquet the hackmen. of the city, '''the poor down trodden, underdog hackmen of Waterbury, he called them, in about a month.

Mystic. Aug l5.-President Roose- welt and some of his policies were se- verely criticised because of the bar racks policy" as 1t is known in Eu- rope, which requires the enlarge ment of the army and the building of big navy. by the speakers at the forty-second annual meeting of the Universal Peace union at Peace grove here yesterday. Dr William I. Hull of Swathmore, Pa, who at tended all the sessions of the second Hague conference, in his address or Limitation of Armaments." at the afternoon session. referred at some Tenth to the proposition that the na- tions come together and appoint an international peacemaker. Dr Hull quoted Bismarck, Rear Admiral Ev- ans and President Roosevelt to the effect that a large army and navy are necessary to preserve peace. and fn- dignantly denied that this was 8 "A great navy" he said, means a return to the days of piracy. Presi- dent Roosevelt is the first president who has needed a large armament tO maintain the Monroe doctrine. VI the United States would make honest treaties with other nations there would be small need of all this war talk"
 Dr Hull criticized what he termed the Roosevelt policy Of going about vith a chip on the shoulder. Re ferring to the subject of a big navy of powerful cruisers. he said that the cost of one DreadRought would en- dow and operate a Yale university and give free education to a thou sand young people. The expense of shooting a tEelve inch gun once equailed a years expenses of the or dinary workfngman

Railroad Men Charged With Theft
 of Quart of Ale.

Tn the city court to-day Mrs Mary Dehron was fined sl0 and costs and committed to Brookside for intoxi- cation and breach of the peace last night. She was found wandering about North Elm street after mid night by Officer Halpin, and it seemed she was turned out of her boarding place for upsetting a light ed lamp.
 Joseph Martin and James Salli- van. railroaders, were charged with theft of quart of ale from freight car. Martin pleaded guilty. but when he took the stand to explain matters he denied he went to the car. It seemed that he pleaded guilty 10 save a trial, 90 he was fined s5 and costs. which meant si0.50. He paid.
 Sullivan would not plead guilty. but admitted drinking the stun His case was put over to Monday. and 1t may transpire that he will be charged with breaking into the car.
 The men. being employees of the railroad company. had easy access to the contents of the freight cars. De- tective DOdds secured the vehicle by which they are said to have taken the ale. This vas a patent faucet which they inserted in the business part of the keg and then br simply turning the faucet they had estab- Iished headquarters with Baechus Sullivan. after court had adjourned tried 10 effect settlement. but the prosecutor insisted on a trial Non day. for It seemed that SuIliran's friends had given the prosecutor to believe that he- would plead guilty.
