CITY NEWS.

Working gloves from 25c up at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S.
 Unfinished worsted hand tailored black suits s15 at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S.
 There will be a meeting of St Francis Xavier's Holy Name society at 7:30 o'clock this evening to take action on the death of John Tyrrell.
 The attendance at the 111th anni- versary observance of the founding of Harmony lodge, F. and A. M. last night. was very large, visitors being in attendance from Watertown, Vol colt, Cheshire, Torrington and other towns. The programme as announc. ed in the Democrat last night was carried out in detail.
 The water tax is coming to Col lector Frank Reeves very slowly. To date only s25, 900 has been paid, al- though there is s90,O00 due. Only three days more remain during the week for water rents to be paid.
 Thomas F. Devine, who ran for representative on the democratic ticket, spent S35. He contributed s25 to the democratic town commit tee: S7.50 went to the American for advertising and s2.50 to the Demo- crat for printing.
 It looks now as if the water ques- tion is settled for the present. The long wished for rain has come and everybody is pleased to see it, even laborers who are forced into idleness for time stating that we need the rain and they are glad it was not de- lawed any longer. But no matter how much 1t rains, the officials should be up and doing and See that no such conditions confronts the city next season. 1t was close call and the powers that be should profit by the lesson. To be sure water would have been secured from other than the city reservoirs. but 1t would be inssnitary and the public would use it at great risk.

co I PRIvATES PUNISHED.
Dishonorable Discharges for Ralph G
 Cashner and Arthur A. Battiste.

Meriden, Nov 1.-The Connecti- cut National Guard, through Adju- tant General George M. Cole has manifested it's repugnance for sol- diers who throw reflection on the militia by securing police court record. In a special order issued from A. G. 0. Privates Ralph G. Cashner and Arthur A. Battiste of Company 1 are dishonorably dis charged as a result of their being found guilty last month of the theft of an army revolver from the armory. After the police court case the men were court martialed by their com- pany, following this special order:
 1. "A summary court will be con- vened at Meriden in the armory occu- pied by Company |, Second infantry, at such time as the field officer con- stituting said court shall direct for the trial of Privates Ralph G. Cash ner and Arthur A. Battiste of Com. pany I, Second infantry. Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. McCabe will con- stitute said court.

BUILDING INSPECTOR
uackie.Sisge Case Comes Up Opce More Attorney for
 Mackie Files Answer.

Attorney F. P. Guilfoile, as coun- sel for Alderman Robert Mackie in the quo warranto proceedings insti- tuted some lime ago by Attorney J. M. Lynch for Charles Stage as depu- ty building inspector, filed his an- swer to the. allegations to-day, as or dered by the court two weeks ago.
 MT LynGh's contention is that the board of aldermen illegally and wrongfuDy appointed MT Mackie, be- cause Mr Stage had been previously appointed and had not been removed. He further contends that MT Stage was appointed to the place after the death of his predecessor, Floyd Smith. whose appointment was made on good behavior in office, and there- fore MT Stage as his successor could not have been removed without cause.
 MT Guilfoile's view of the situation is this: MT Smiths appointment ex- pired when he died, therefore MT Stage could not have been appointed to i'll the remaining portion of Mr Smiths unexpired term" The terms Of the city charter referring to the office of deputy building inspector concerned MT Smith alone and MT Stage could not succeed to them. The charter, contends MT Guilfoile, is specific in its reference to the deputy building inspector "now in office" who was MT Smith at that time, and when he died the effect of the char ter died with him so far as it con- cerned the office held by him. Coun. sel hope to have the case heard on its merits as soon as possible.
 Announcement was made in the superior court to-day that the two cases Of Kate and Theresa Kelly against the Connecticut Co.,, would notf urnish any business for the court This statement was taken to mean tn tathe cases had been settl- ed, and it was reported that the set clement was for $7,5O0. Counsel for the plaintiffs. however, Attorney T. F. Carmody denied that a settle ment had been effected Kate Kelly was killed in the trolley accident at the West Main street grade crossing last November and her sister There sa was badly injured. The admins trators on Kate kelly's estate filed suit for all that was allowed by law $5,OOO, while Theresa brought an action for damages of $10,000.

RECKLESS DRIVING
Trolley Car Run Away Down North Nah Street spd Barely
 Averied An Accident.

The Democrat has repeatedly cal- led the attention of the authorities and the Connecticut Company mana gers to the reckless way in which cars are run down North Main street It was only by rare good fortune that a bad accident was averted this afternoon. The car which reaches the center about 1:2z came tearing like mad down the incline at Kings bury street. On it sped past the cor ner of Cooke and North Main, with no let up in speed. The conductor on the back platform was thinking about this time that he was riding altogether too fast. His hand was on the bell rope, but whether he signalled his motorman or not spec tators that witnessed the runaway car were unable to tell. As the car whizzed past Spencer avenue the motorman realized that he waited too long before shutting off his pow CT and reversing. The rate of speed as 1t rounded the curve near the Wa terbury club was terrific, and the sparks flew from trolley pole and rail as the car sped on, and over the switch in front of the Odd Fellows block. It took this switch by rare good fortune, and rushed on to the center. If the car had left the track Tt the point near the green there is no telling what might have happen- ed As the car approached the cen- ter there was great shout and people hurried to place of safety. During the mad run a policeman rode on the rear platform. When the car reached the center all the brakes were set. of course, but it would have been better had the brakes been set and the power shut off earlier. It looks sometimes as though motormen were trying to breag some previous record the man. ner in which they come down North Main street. The motorman who had the experience to-day was a pretty scared mortal before his car stopped, and he was nervous enough while he was describing the run to his fellow workers and he seemed to heave sigh of relief when some one came to relieve him.

 Year-W. CT. U. Blamed.


 Year-W. c. TT. U. Blamed.
 pittsburg, Nov 11.-Beer drinking in Pittsburg was reduced about 333 GOO barrels in the year ending With October
 While possibly the financial strin- gency had much to do with this, the brewers are looking angrily at the w. c. T. U. and the Salvation Army people, who have in the past year conducted hot and personal ean- yass from saloon to saloon, and most of the brewers are of the opinion that these people did more to re- duce the consumption of beer than did the hard times.
 The women workers of the city have succeeded, with the aid of N or Guthrie, in largely suppressing the sale of beer in unlicensed places, and have wagered relentless war on the beer wagons which travel from house to house.
 The two leading brewers of this city, which practically control the trade in home-brewed beer. have held their annual meetings and show a decrease in sales of 263,275 bar rels compared with the year before. The shrinkage in foreign beers will bring the total loss to beer trade close to one-third of million bar reis

CHESHIRE SCANDAL,
Judge Hungerford of Naugatuck May
 Be Asked to Help In Case

Judge Charles T. Hungerford of the borough court of Naugatuck was hastily summoned to New Haven this forenoon and rumor around the court house had it that it was in con- nection with the election scandal in Cheshire, where it is said, republi- cans bought votes right and left. Judge Hungerford is state committee man of the republican party for the senatorial district which includes Cheshire and Naugatuck, and as such he would be invited to take part in disclosing the scandal. It would be to his interests to take part in it anyway. ...
 Lawyers say that the matter has been brought to the afficial attention of States Attorney Williams for New Haven county and that George M Gum of Milford, very prominent democratic politician, is developing the case for him.
