JUDGE LOWE NAMED
fIscsd is NsnInsIIep By ur Slater Who Played 6. Q. F.

Judge Robert A. Lowe was unani- mously repominated for judge of pro- bate this morning by the probate con vsntion. Of the seventeen delegates to the convention only two were ab- sent, H. M. Rigney from the sixth voting district and John Johnson of Middlebury. The list of delegates consisted of John H. Moran and P. j.. Cavanaugh from the first voting dis trict; John K. O'Brien and John Daw- son, second; Michael D. Blansfield and M. F. .Carmody, third; William Hurley, Joseph Worsley and James Walsh, fourth; William McGrath. William Doran and Martin Keefe, ! fifth; Hubert M. Rigney, sixth; Wil- liam Dwyer and John Johnson, Mid- dlebury; Andrew Jackson Slater and Samuel Wilson, Wolcott.
 The convention was called to order by Attorney B. B. Kelley of the pro bate committee, and John H. oMran was eelcted chairman and M. D. Blansneld secretary.
 After the credentials were approv- Cd by Delegates Carmody and O'Brien nominations for judge of probate were called for and MT Slater nomi- mated Judge Lowe. In making the nomination Mir Slater said. this was the eighth time, he believed, he had had the honor and great distinction to place Judge Lowe's name before the probate convention and 1t gave him great pleasure to know that each time he was better winner than the preceding time. When other can didates were high in the count on election night he was higher and when others lost he won. "He has never yet lost" said MT Slater, amid great cheers, land he won't lose this time either If l have my guess right" Great cheers.
 Delegate Carmody and Chairman Moran were then appointed com- mittee to notify Judge Lowe of his nomination and after the judge was brought in he said just a few words of thanks and that he was sure the democratic party would win every thing, that he would do his duty as probate judge in future as in the past to the satisfaction of himself and those who have business in his court and when that is done, ones duty to his state, to his fellow citizens and himself is done. The judge was given roussng cheer and the conven- ton closed and the delegates were the guest of the judge for the following hour.
 The probate committee appointed consists of Mir Slater of Wolcott, MT Dwyer from Middlebury and MT Blansfield from Waterbury.

WATER GETTING LOW.
Less Than Months Supply Now at

The dry season is having its effect
 on the water sources and at the pres
 ent time there is not four weeks
 supply at the branch, So that if 1t
 does not rain soon something will
 have to be done to make the most of
 what we have, else there will be
 trouble. Meanwhile people are talk ing about the proposition to build a new dam and of course opinions as
 to what is best to do are piling up
 T know you can't fo anything at East Mountain" remarked a very bright man to-day to a Democrat re- porter, but what's the matter with Bantam? For about $250,000 or $300,000 you can pipe that lake to the Branch and then you would have water supply that would be ample for years. I have looked into this thing and feel confident that all can be done for the sum I have mention ed, including the purchase of rights of way and acquiring the lake. Why don't you people look into that and see If I'm right. This is an important matter and while I know the alder men mean to be fair about It, there Is great danger that they may depend too much on the engineers say so. His intentions may be of the best, but he Is not above making mistake. In any case the board should not do any thing until after they have looked Into Bantam. Almost everybody you meet who Is familiar with the place wants to know why the city does not tap that source and thus do away with the need of another expensive dam."

SCHOOL BOY HURT
esolbalI Prseilee Faded Serious.
 lyFsr Ysuss Student.

The condition of Wilfred Bal
 thazar Martin. the member of the
 Crosby high football team, who was
 seriously injured while practicins
 with the squad at the golf grounds yesterday afternoon. remained prac-
 tically the same at the Waterbury
 hospital to-day. The young man. who is known to his schoolmates as
 Balthasar, struck on his neck when
 he was tackled while running with the ball, landing in such manner
 that his spine was injured, causing his body to be paralyzed from his shoulders to his feet. The accident
 has cast gloom over the school as the young man was not only prom ising player but was also one of the most popular members of the junior class.
 Balthazar, who is the son of Joseph A. Martin, superintendent of the Wales Lines Go of Meriden, played half back on last years eleven and came out for the team again this year. Yesterday afternoon scrim- mage practice had just started when the accident occurred. Balthazar was playing left half on the resu- lars, explained by Joseph Hackett.
 The signal was given for diagon- al and Balthazar plunged into the line As usual there was heap of players In the play. No one had made any cry about being injured but when the players pulled them- selves from the heap they saw that Balthazar was hurt.
 1, At first they thought he was just knocked out temporarily and al. though he complained about nump- ness from his shoulders down. none of his fellow players realized that he was seriously injured, especially since he remained conscious all the time. The injured boy was placed in a wagon and was being carried to his home when Dr J. J. Egan met the wagon. Upon examining the in- jury he found 1t very serious and had Balthazar removed to the hos pital. Last evening an operation was performed by Drs Engelke, Deming and Ashley. It showed that the heoAiOAto uCJWccu Ju0 UOUbS COE' meeting the neck and shoulder had been torn and the bone displaced in such way that 1t rested against the spinal chord. Although the opera tion was successful for the time be- Ing, another in all probability will have to be performed within short time. It is said that another mem. Der of the Martin family-a younger injured while playing the game in the early part of the week.
 The accident yesterday was the first of any account that has happen sd to a high school player since 1903 turing which season Paul Marshall lad his right wrist fractured in the early part of the season. That year he school had no eleven as very lew candidates for the team turned ut.
 At the hospital this afternoon the of the injured boy was 'aid to have grown worse and there s now very little hope of his recov- 'ry. He is still conscious but seems o be sinking slowly and although he nay live few days, his condition It present is critical.

AIRsHIp AT DANBURY FAIR.
Captain Baldwin to Give Exhibitions,
 Ninety-onc Consecutive Flights.

Ninefy-Onc Consecutive FhghtS.
 Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin, acknowledged master of the ar, the man who has made over 800 nlgnls into space and who made Sl ar shin ascensions in 1907, alighting at inc exact spot of ascent, record that stands out bright In the nis- tory of aeronautics, will bring a du- plicate of the famous United states government dirigible to the Danbury fair October to 10. The manage ment of this fair were not entirely satisfied with the air ship they had last year and have, after lengthy ne- rotiations. succeeded in securing the peer of all dirigible ship aviators to show the people the kind of ship the government thought enough Of to buy.
 Captain Baldwin has just sold to the war department the first air ship ever bought by the United States government. This ship had to meet conditions that other air ship in- yentors called impossible, but that only added to the eagerness of Cap tain Baldwin who has been accom- plishing things all his life that oth- CTS called impossible. He succeed ed in filling government specifica- tions and the ship he navigated at Washington a month ago is now vehicle of war in the government service. A duplicate of this. ship will be brought to the fair by the captain and operated by him in per son. It will be among his first se- ries of flights since the Fort Myer trials and his last showing in this section of the country this year, as immediately after the Danbury Fair he will go south for a season of ex- hibitions. The flights at the Dan- bury Fair are planned to be similar to those made during the govern ment tests, and will give the people an idea of the tremendous advances made in air ships in the past year.
