TWO SUITS BROUGHT
Waterbury Corporation Came Into Existence During Strike.

A Waterbury corporation which came into existence during and through the trolley strike, has been made defendant in two suits for dam- ages. The concern is the Mutual Se- curity company and the plaintiffs are the Buffalo Steam Fitting company and the Buffalo Forge company. The trolley strike was on Its last legs when it occurred to some well known men of Waterbury that 1t would be a good idea to organize company which would give insurance against strikes. E. L. Frisbie is said to be the presi- dent of the company, George L. Judd, vice president, anrd F. J. Brown, sec retary.
 Among the company's clients were the above named concerns. Industrial disturbances took place among their men some time ago and they claim the Mutual Security company refused to pay their policy. The Buffalo Forge company has sued for damages of S30O0O and the Buffalo Fitting com pany for $S,000. Both suits have been made returnable to the superior court in New Haven.

of things in that street and Of open ing it onto South Elm street and then continuing it clear across Union square. Dr Martin believed that if the street was opened at least 5000 people would use it daily going to and from their work. He had the greatest respect for Mir and Mrs Bronson, who were born there, and wished to die in the old home stead, but he was of the opinion that if the question should be put to them in its proper light they would refuse to remain in the gap which if opened would not only improve the moral status of that neighborhood but also prove a great blessing to the whole community.
 The matter was referred to the city attorney for an opinion as to whether 1t is necessary to assess ben efits and damages there the same as in an entirely new street. No ac- tion was taken on the South Main and Irion street layouts.
 It was voted to hold hearings for permanent pavement on North Main street, between Farm and Vine streets, on Dublin street from East Main street to Bridge street, and on Farm street from North Main street to Round Hill street, on February 25. The clerk was instructed to mo- tify property owners in these streets and on lower South Main street to -..t.z ,o.a-s,rx- vvafar and 0aa con- nections before the pavement is laid. It was also decided to get estimates for a larger water main in Dublin street, from Eas. Main street to Bridge street, ard on South Main street from the end of the present pavement to City Corners. An ap- plication from F. P. Becton for keep CT of the town clock was received and ordered on fife. The question as to whether the city can compel prop erty owners to lay walks ordered several years agc, even though the property may since have changed hands. was referred to the city at- torney. IL was voted that the city attorney be instructed to take steps to collect all back water rents and bring injunetions restraining the city from collecting water rents to an issue. The condition of the brook in the rear of the Sacred Heart church was referred to the commit tee on sewers. The city attorney was asked to sfate whether it is necessary to notify the mortgage when holding hearings for street layouts. The proposed ordinance relative to making openings in the streets was referred to a commit tee consisting cf Assistant City Clerk L.aulor and the beads of the differ ent departments It was voted to recommend the installation of lights on South Main street at the Pearl Lakes road. on sylvan avenue near the residence of Francis Mcsrath. and GriEEs and Vine streets

THE POLICE COURT.
John Longworth Purchased Clothes
 With Friends Money.

Ham Sing, the laundryman, who was in court yesterday for not re- moivng the ice off his sidewalk, pre- ferred to settle rather than fight, and thus for the time being this question is settled in favor of the tenant. Sing pald $5 rather than contest the case, besides having to remove the snow and ice from in front of both his own door and that of his tenant at 653 South Main street.
 Judge Peasley held court to-day. John Shannahan, whose domestic troubles have been the cause of keeping him in the limelight of the court for over year, called at the police station last night and com plained that his wife had locked him out doors. He was accordingly locked in, charged with being in toxicated. Judge Peasley sent him down the road for thirty days.
 John Longworth was charged with intoxication and theft of $57 from John Baker. Longworth was help ing Baker at brewery depot near the gas works the other day and Baker dropped his pocketbook. Longworth picked it up. and judging by it's bulk that he was temporarily independent of labor, gave up his job. Next day he bought suit of clothes for $20, paid his room rent that was due, paid some ahead and bought various articles of clothing. Then he set out to enjoy himself in his own way and he was taken in by Detective Kennaugh. He denied having any knowledge of the miss ing $57, but when questioned about his purchases he admitted taking the money. He was bound over un- der bail of $200.

ELSIE AND "zIMB0."
Said to Have Held the Fort at The Fl.
 ton a Year Ago.

Undoubtedly if Miss Elsie Janis and her "Zimbo" had stayed at The Elton Tuesday evening. the actress would have been closely watched even though the hotel forces were certain that her pet was In the dogs quart CTS. It appears that year ago when Miss Janis played in 'The Vanderbilt Cup" in this city she stayed at The Elton. So did "Zimbo." The rule about dogs was in force at that time but the story goes that Elsie caught some one mapping and on the sly car- ried her precious darling to her room The management was unaware that Miss Janis had played the part Of the smuggler until next morning. Even then no one would perhaps have been any the wiser had not ~Zimbo" be- haved like a bad. bad dog during tho long weary hours Of the night. l seems that "Zimbo" was rather rest les that evening and cried to such an extent that he awakened several guests nearby. or course they were indignant that a dog. even a pug dog. should arouse them from their sium- bers and they had a few words to say next morning Some one remarked thst the dog made sz much noise as an old fashioned tom cat So it is evil dent that if Mis- Janis and "Zimb0 had decided to remain at The Elton Tuesaay. in all prubahilitX the dog would have had H body guard the entire evening

NO MORE BOXING
Killed By Vote of Commissioners
 Yesterday Afternoon.

There will be no more boxing exhi- bitions in Waterbury until the state law bearing upon such athletics is changed. That will not prevent them taking place in such cities as New Haven and New London and Bridge port, but then these are not so well conducted communities as Water bury.
 After the hearing of the Chatfield matter was adjourned yesterday af- ternoon the board of safety held special meeting and took up this mat ter of the petition of the Waterbury Athletic club for permit to hold boxing exhibition in Eagles hall late this month. Commissioner Minor, as chairman of the committee appointed some time ago to hear evidence on the petition reported against 1t on the grounds that at the public hearing held last week only two or three ap- peared on behalf of the petition while two or three dozen appeared against it. Nevertheless, Commis- sioners Spain and Griffin did not agree with Commissioner Minors re- port, intimating that the objectors had taken wrong view of the pro- position altogether and the exhibition as they understood was to be entirely different from what they evidently supposed it was going to be.
 Commissioner Philips was inclined to favor the views of Commissioners Spain and Griffin, but he was afraid that if he did it would be only open ing the door for further exhibitions and though this one may be all right he had his doubts about what might follow. The matter was then put tc vote and it was thrown out by 3 to 2.
