Z Of Market Not Surprise.
fRx Associated Preasl.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1G.-An that T.
n. Hartman had to impart concern
ing the properties in which he Is
interested fell far short OF what the
speculative imagination had been led
to expect during weeks Of buying OF
the stocks at steadily advancing
prices.
i II was disappointment on this score
that caused the crumbling OF prices
today more than any other factor
Mr.. Harriman's terse reason for the
great strength in the stocks OF nis
railroads was that It was because
they were too weak before"
The weakness today might be ex'
planned with equal justice as due to
stocks having become too strong.
Reading served as the instrument Tor
support Of tire market as was the case
yesterday. That stock was about the
only one to show positive strength
ut any time. The course Of the mar
ket was not an entire surprise to OBJ
servers less closely concerned In the
speculation. The extent Of the rise
i IN itself has suggested the approach
Of q reaction. The moderate pace OF
the business improvement had indi-
Gated the over discounting OF this In
the securities market. The effort at
liquidation finds little absorptive de-
mand to meet 1t as the general public
interest in the speculation has been
1t no time great. The active selling
pressure continued up to the close
which was weak at the lowest prices.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Seven New Men For ihe Super.
 numerary Force Appointed.

The board of public safety did not do much business yesterday afternoon at its meeting held at 5 o'clock. Seven men were appointed to the seven vacancies on the supernumer- ary police force. They are Martin J. Mcdonald, Francis Mcfarland, William H. Donahue, Henry V. Hayes, Garrett Moore, Patrick ]. Reilly and Virgilio Giampetruzzio. An application from John l.. Johnson of Truck company No 1 for an appoint ment as fire captain was filed.
 The board talked of the mounted policeman-to-be and what kind of a mount he shall have, whether it shall be jackass, q horse, an auto, a mule Or motorcycle. Commissioner Phillips wondered what use could be made of mounted policeman any, way except to stop runaway teams. Nothing was done about the proposi- tion.
 Commissioner Griffin reported that one of the horses at the Scovill street engine house had gone blind, making the fourth horse of the fire depart ment that is now out of commission The proposition of buying a new one did not go any further than a desul- tory discussion.
 A full board was present and Com missioner Minor presided.

ELECTION OF SEALER
Question of Method Employed in
 Appointing Official.

It was said to-day on what appear ed to be good authority, that the all dermen exceeded their authority in transferring the election of sealer of weights and measures from that body to the department of safety, the person making the statement being under the impression that the meth cd of choosing the sealer of weights and measures is fixed by legislative enactment. In way this is true, but not in the sense that one might sup pose. The legislature gives the al- dermen the right to pass an ordi- nance relegating that whole matter and that is all that has been done. In the old ordinance the aldermen re- served to themselves the right to fill that office. In the new one this is changed and the board of safety is charged with that duty. Do you see anything wrong about that?

GARDENS GET RAIN.
Idle Men Took Advantage to Put
 DIants in the Ground.

The wet weather of to-day threw many out of employment, but 1t also furnished lots for others to do. Take the man who has Il garden for exam pie and was waiting for n dash of rain to make things right for putting out some seeds and see him hustle. Dur ing the forenoon men were hurrylng this way and that with rakes, hoes, packages of seeds, tomato vines, cab bage plants and little of almost everything else you mention in that line under their arms, and one would think by their gait that they thought every minute was an hour until they go home and commenced operations. Nasturtiums, creeping and fiat, are very popular flowers in Waterbury and very large number of them will be seen all over town this summer.
 The cabbage plant is also holding its own ill popular favor. It is all right, too. After you grow tired look ing at it you can put it in the pot and with few other things it makes a first class dinner.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Miss Etta Connolly of Plymouth who has been the guest of the O'Con- nor family of South Leonard street, has returned home.
 John Cavanaugh, formerly of this section, now of Rome, N. Y., is visiting relatives in this section. It is six years since he was in Brooklyn.
 Daniel Mahaney who has been ill at his home on Bank street the past couple of weeks is much improv- ed and is expected to be out in a short time.
 -The people of Brooklyn are anx- iously awaiting to see if the board of education will grant Thomas F. De- vine, principal of the Duggan school another hearing.
 Another game for the Brooklyn Business Mems ball team. Yesterday the manager received a challenge from the policemen and the game will be played one week from to-mor- row afternoon.
 --The old flag pole which has been in the yard of the Duggan school the past few weeks was taken to the Brookside home yesterday afternoon. It will do service there for perhaps years to come.
 Work was to have been resumed on the Clark street extension to-day but the threatening weather did not allow much to be done, In all prob- ability the old force of men will be on hand tomorrow ready to begin operations and the work is likely to go right along.
 Last evening a man and woman boarded car which was standing at the end of the Bank street line. The man happened to have a cigar in his hand So he took a rear seat; the woman naturally did likewise. The conductor came along and told the couple to move towards the front. What for?" asked the man. Well, these rear seats are for smokers. !" But don't you see I'm smoking" re- piled the man. What difference does that make" said the conductor, lis the woman?" It really happened but the man or woman did not move.
 If you want to cure that .prine fever get a box of sulphur and cream of tartar lozenges at Walkers drug store for 10 cents; they do the work and the formula is no secret. Try 1t.

THE POLICE COURT.
Boys Fined for Playing Ball on
 Public Streets.

For playing ball on the streets, or as themselves called 1t 'battin' a few flies," Raymond Hanley and Clifford ,McPhee of South Leonard street were arrested yesterday. Pat rick Temple of 1SS South Leonard street testified that he repeatedly warned the boys against playing ball near his house for they paid no re- spect to his flower beds and when- ever he remonstrated they advised him to go and soak his head. Each was fined $5 and costs in the city court to-day by Judge Peasley.
 Merritt Gage of Cherry street, employed by the Scovill Manufac- turing company, does not give his wife any money but gives to his two girls s10 week. He has not given his wife any money direct in long time, but takes this roundabout way of giving 1t to her. Last evening, ac- cording to Mrs Cages story, which was corroborated by her daughter, Anna, Gage knocked her down with out any reason and when Anna went to save her he knocked her down also. When Ohcer Myers arrived on the scene three men were hold ing Gage. The man was not drunk, nor even under the influence of drink. He was committed to jail for 30 days.
 Mrs Hattie Bushe. colored, who was in court few weeks ago for keeping an unregistered dog, was up again this morning for keeping house of disrepute. According to the testimony of several policemen the place is located on Spring street and is the resort of all colors. Af- ter the dog episode, the police cleaned out the place but made no arrests, thinking warning would suffice. They had no direct evidence that the place was bad one at the time. Last night a party of police men visited the house and while they succeeded in catching Mrs Bushe. a white woman, who gave her name as Maggie Murphy, and two negroes named Joe Walker and Frederick Vincent, two white fel- lows got away. Besides these the police found two small colored chill dren sleeping a corner and girl about Is years old near them. Mrs Bushe was committed to Brookside for 30 days for keeping house of disrepute and Walker and Vincent for frequenting 1t were fined S7 and costs.
 Josie Sauchelli. aged {. and Lo- retta, her sister, aged II, were committed to the county home. Their father is dead and their stepmothef is unable to take care of them ana desires to go to her own home in Newark.

GREASE ON TRACKS.
South Main Street People Complain
 About a Nuisance,

Robert Snagg of South Main street has called attention to what Is re- garded as quite a nuisance to patrons of the trolley cars in Simonsville. The company puts grease on the curve at Baldwin and Piedmont street and the stuff damages ladies dresses when alighting from the cars. It also sticks to peoples shoes and they track it into the houses. MT Snagg has, asked the city fathers to do something towards abating the nui- sance. The complaints have puzzled everybody, even the city attorney not being able to suggest remedy off hand.
