 of importance will be transacted and
 all members who can possibly attend
 are requested to do so.
 Yesterday was hospital day at the
 Model Market company and the | clerks at the store were kept on the
 run all day. It was a big day for bargains and the public took ad- vantage of them ana as result tho
 receipts of the day amounted to
 $2,347.6S, of which the hospital is
 to receive 5 per cent, or $117.38. Much interest was attached to the first opening of F. L. Marks & Co, Inc, successor as to whether the old employees would still be retained.
 Misses Hanlon, Paine and Dean, long time employees of A. F. Cowles, shared with the new firm the many expressions of praise as to the beauty of the new store given by opening visitors yesterday and to-day.
 The street department ought to do little topdressing on Hamilton ave- nue, beyond Washington street, be- fore winter sets in It is in bad con- dition and were it for no other req son than that so many funerals go out that way, it should be attended to. But aside from this, there is a lot of travel out that way, and it is a wonder somebody has not called at tention to it long ago.
 The members of Court Fruitful Vine, Ancient Order of Foresters, will make an effort to have the sub sidiary high court convene in this city in 1911. At a meeting held in Bowditch hall last evening the fol- lowing committee was appointed to try to have the court meet here:
 Chief Ranger Thomas Baker. Past Chief Ranger A. B. Dixon, Sub-Chief Ranger George Brown, Senior Wood ward James Barr, Junior Woodward George. Mitchell, Senior Beadle John Stevens, Junior Beadle James Carew. There were several members of Court Friendship of Thomaston present at last nights meeting.
 There was no business for the city court to-day, no arrest having been made yesterday of consequence suf- ficient to engage the attention of the court. The case against Angelo Marchetillio and Frank Jacaruso for assaulting their fellow countryman, Cesare Tremaglio, last Saturday night by shooting him, was put back to next Wednesday. The injuree man is still unable to appear In court, though he is not as badly in jured as he was at first thought to be. The accused will be defended by Attorney Guilfoile, who will, 1t is said, undertake to show that the in- jury inflicted was purely accidental.
 Is Baron Torkomian, who says there are very few tenements to be had, blind, or is some one stuffing him? Yesterday we'll known Wa terbury citizen was in the Democrat office. He said: q have three tene- ments idle, and it is costing me $50 month. It beats all," said he, ''the number of idle tenements to be found all over town. Go through the tene- ment districts, and you will find a 'ToRent' sign on nearly every house." The baron must be dreaming or else he is trying to boom the good times some of our republican friends are promising. Look through the "To Rent" columns of the daily papers, MT Torkomian, and you will conclude that you are talking for effect or to get your name in print
 Some of the members of the po- lice department are indignant over the statement of H. P. Stark of the Lexon lunch room, that patrol men as rule are grafters. q wish you would just say in your paper for me-" declared Sergeant Pagan to-day, "that this fellow, whoever he is, is damn liar. If he has any reason to complain let him blame the guilty persons and not throw suspicion over the entire force. Il want him to distinctly understand that I paid for everything that I ever got in there and paid well, too. Captain Ramon said the statement of the sergeant voiced his senti- ments also. From the above it can be seen that Stark is brewing trouble for himself in making &C., cusations which involve many, but point directly to no one.
 Early yesterday morning the sun crossed the imaginary line and the | season of autumn began. With this crossing of the line is generally as- sociated a severe storm, known as the line storm" or the "equinoctial. While the association of the storm | with the beginning of the autumnaI | season is purely matter of super stition, yet common experience has taught that at about this time of the year a severe storm is due, after which summer weather comes to an end, heavy frosts destroy vegetation md herald the approach of the long old period of winter From all tides comes many a complaint against he long continued drought. and ev- ,ryone hopes that the liner" will not 'e longer delayed.
