county and poor. Now the statutes
expressly state that the tax levy for
these three departments shall not ex-
ceed seven and half mills.
Knowing these facts, If anyone
objected to paying the eight mills
they could not be forced to do 80 by
law.
County Treasurer Fredrickson dis
covered these things Saturday. The
commissioners were out of the city
and could not be communicated with.
But Mr.. Fredrickson took the matter
into his own hands and is collecting
taxes now on the basis Of only 716
mills from all.
He is also rebating that extra half
mill as fast as he can get to it.
1t puts great deal of extra work

WATER QUESTION
Sislemeni Made Dy One ei lhe Aldermen Te.Ssy- Whe ls
 Responsible For rsmIne.

One of'the aldermen was asked to~ day what he thought of Engineer Cairns statements regarding the water question. He said he believed that the engineer had issued all the warnings quoted, but that notwith- standing this he was of the opinion that if we have to face water fam- inc whatever criticism may como from 1t belongs more to MT Cairns than to the aldermen or any other board or committee. "If the en- gineer had gone out east for water instead of to the Wigwam and spent a million dollars along the Mad river and other places in that region. the water question would not be con- stantly before the public. Ninety per cent of the people in Waterbury know this to be true and for this same reason the idea of constantly following in the lead of a man who once piloted them in the wrong di- rection on a matter of such magni- tude. The aldermen should in- vestigate this water question very thoroughly, and be sure they cannot million at the branch. I hope they have sufficient courage to withstand any attack that may be made upon them pending an investigation and then act with the knowledge that they, and not the engineer, are di- rectly responsible to the people,"

STABs MAN TO DEATH.
Murder in Kitchen of the Matteawan
 State Hospital.

Fishkill Landing, N. Y., Oct 23.--- James Keegan of Brooklyn, an in- mate of the Matteawan State Hospital for the Insane, murdered James O'Brien, second cook of the institu- tion late yesterday afternon. The murder occurred in the kitchen where Keegan was helper.
 The first cook, Hirst, Second Cook O'Brien and Keegan were starting to cut fish for supper. Twelve inch carv- ing knives had just been handed out by Hirst. Keegan said he wanted a smaller knife. Hirst told him to use the knife that was handed to him and say nothing about it. Keegan got an- gry and swore. Then he made a lunge at Hirst, who lodged.
 O'Brien interfered and attempted to take the carving knife from Kee- gan. He was forced to a corner of the kitchen in the scrimmage and Third Cook Mccullough ran to his assistance. Just as Mccullough made grab for the knife Keegan plunged it into O'Brien's body.

Was a General Favorite.

What was it that made Father Slo- cum such general favorite wherever he was known? Everybody would answer that according to his and her impressions of the man, but many might overlook one characteristic which had as much to do and prob ably. more than anything else in giy- ing him a hold upon his fellowmen. This was his proverbial good humor and ready wit which stood by him to the end. The last or probably close to the last time he was about town he told Democrat reporter that he took great delight in watching the boys scurrying home to dinner from the shops. It reminded him of the time when he worked in the knife shop in Winsted and used to run all the way from the factory to the house at noon and was invariably the first at the table. On one occasion he collided with an old farmer car- rying basket of eggs and the far mer and himself and the eggs went down in heap. Fortunately only a few of the contents of the basket were broken and neither himself nor the farmer was hurt. The latter af- ter good deal of fussing started to rearrange his stock, but by that time he was home and half through with his dinner. He liked timely joke and was chock full of anecdotes of one kind and another and had way of telling them that captivated those about him.

Was a Charitable Man.

It, would be we'll nigh impossible to enumerate all the works of char ity performed by Monsignor Slocum nothing of his labors in other places. Some cannot turn their attention from St Mary's hospital, while others never tire talking of the Day, nursery and the parochial schools across the way, but there is another building, a public institution, whose inmates are deeply indebted to the dead prelate for spiritual comfort which they all ways longed for but never had until Father Slocum interceded for them with the bishop and had chaplain appointed for their special benefit. This is the Brookside home, place that attracted his attention soon af- ter he located here. Prior to that time services were held there by the priests of the different parishes, but this was very unsatisfactory, first because the local priests had all they could attend to In their own parishes and besides there was no system. Father Slocum took up this matter and after good deal of persuasion he finally succeeded in getting chap lain appointed to look after the spir- itual needs of Roman Catholics in the Brookside home. Father Derwin of Waterville was appointed to that po- .sition and has filled 1t in most sat isfactory manner ever since. The only objection the bishop had to talk ing such step was the scarcity of priests in the diocese at that time, but Father Slocum argued that this case demanded immediate attention and soon won Bishop Tierney to his view of the matter.
