County Division Progressing
The campaign now being conducted
in the county division project Is so
void of all the sensational features
that marked the previous efforts that
one scarcely realizes that active work
is being done. At division headquar-
tiers Manager Truitt stated this morn
ing that things were progressing In a
most satisfactory manner The petit
lions are out and have been out for
some time, but the different districts
are being organized systematically, and
when the petitions are started out for
signatures they are in the hands OF
men who will not miss one legal voter
until every man III the proposed new
county is familiar with the facts. In
Chino where the organization has been
perfected, the petitions are signed in a
manner most encouraging, many men
who formerly opposed the proposition
now coming forward. No definite time
can be set for the fling of the petitions.
but it will be several weeks before the
work is completed.

DEPARTMENT HEADS.
Newspapers are Selecting Those
 Who Are 10 be Dropped.

A good deal of idle talk is being indulged in regarding the attitude of the department of public works towards the heads of the several de- partments of the city government, all of which is new to the members of that body. The heads of the de- partments are all very competent men, and so far as the board knows there is no disposition to remove any of them. It is evident that if any thing of the kind was under consid- eration it would have come to light before this time. In any case the commissioners claim that they know nothing about anything in that line, and more than that, they see no req son for such course. The imputa- tion that Commissioner Scully is making a fight for the removal of MT Kilduff of the street department is without any foundation whatever. MT Scully is in the board of alder men and on the board of public works to see what he can do toward getting something done in hitherto neglected district of Waterbury, and also to advocate a fair distribution of public money in all sections. He does not care who superintends the work provided it is attended to in proper manner and fairly dis tributed in all quarters of the city.
 Commissioner Hook laughed to- day at the idea of mentioning him as a candidate for superintendent of the sewer department, but fearing that anybody might take it seriously he requested Democrat reporter to say that there is no truth in it. He doesn't want 1t and he is not aware that change is contemplated there or in any other department.

DUHIGG HOME BURNED.
Bucket Brigade Saved the Barn From
 Flames.

Last night about 12.3O o'clock the home of Michael Duhigg, near Pros pect, was badly damaged by fire, in fact it was almost totally destroyed. It is a two tenement dwelling house and is the first house on the left hand side of the road after the reservoir is passed. It was about half an hour af- ter midnight that Mr Duhigg's family was awakened by the barking of their dog. They immediately discovered that the house was on fire and as they were sleeping on the second floor they had to hurry to get out as the blaze had a good start The fire started in the basement and went through the house to the roof. 4 bucket brigade was formed. all ths neighbors coming to the aid of the Dnhigg family and after about twt hours of strenuous work the fire was brought under control.
 It seemed as though the barn near the house would go up in smoke, bus the bucket brigade worked hard and prevented the flames from reaching the barn The property vas former lY owned by Eliza Hotchkiss. The Ioss is about s1.7ee-

RAIDING THE COOPS.
Men With Leaning Toward Chickens
 Get Big Haul in Brooklyn.

If the chicken thieves who are at present encamped in Brooklyn con tinue to be successful, as they were tine past week, they will indeed have done well. These midnight prowlers are rather clever in the art of nab ping poultry. Friday evening they called at the coop of Frank Le Clair on Highland avenue and departed with about thirty choice birds. And the visit to the Le Clair coops knocks in the head the idea that it is impos- sible to steal chickens from a coop where guinea hens are kept. Mir Le Clair has number of guinea hens, but evidently Friday night they were not aware of the fact that thieves were ill the vicinity, for they made no noise. Le Clair, moreover, has couple of big dogs, but the thieves must have hypnotized them, for they were of no more use than couple of toy bull dogs. Mrs Julia Relchenstein of South Leonard street also lost about a dozen fowl last week, while the fellows who dropped in on the coop of Mir Welton of South Brooklyn pilfered fifteen ex- cellent birds.

RAISED s25O,OOO
Now Buckingham Building Be. longs 10 Waterbury Hospital.

The Buckingham building at the corner of Grand and Bank streets has passed into the hands of the Water bury hospital. The transfer came Saturday when the trustees of the hospital announced that they had raised the $250,000 which was neces- sary before the income from the Buckingham could be used for the hospital.
 It was last August that John Ii. Whittemore, who owned the Buck- ingham, agreed to give the building Ito the hospital providing the trus- tees could raise $250,000. Within very short time $100,000 was pledg- ed and the past few months the re- mainder has been promised.
 The building is said to be worth about $300,000. It was designed by McKim, Mead and White of New York, and built by the TideWater Construction Co. The land on which it is situated cost $75,000. The in come from the building is estimated at s15,O00 per annum. Among the first to contribute $25,000 were Sen ator H. H. Peck, F. J. Kingsbury, J.. ;, s. Elton, the A. s. Chase family, Mrs iB. B. Futile of Naugatuck, Elisha Leavenworth and the Holmes family In looking over the full list of contributors it will be seen that not only $250,000 has been pledged, but $4,5O0 in excess of the amount nec- essary. A list of those that have copfrih,,tad and the amount follows.

The hospital will take immediate possession of the income from the Buckingham, which money will be used for the new hospital which is being planned for Westwood. It was about three years ago that MT Wit temore made the proposition to the hospital provided the trustees select ed site and made plans to build a new hospital. At that time site was selected but in the opinion of MI Whittemore 1t would not do. But when Westwood, then the Holmes property, was mentioned, it seemed most suitable for the hospital so Nil Whittemore then stated that the Buckingham would go to the hospital provided the quarter of million dol lars was raised. When the new hos pital is erected the old property where the Waterbury hospital now is will in all probability be sold.
