we WONDER WHY

Ia bis recent attack on Mayor
Coughanour the editor Of the Inde
pendent states that sger since De-
has been IN office the Mayor has
been engaged in the practice OF sell
irg materials 10 the city. The editor
makes this statement IN an emphatic
manner and in a way that none win
deny but what he has Known it dur
ing Mr. Coughanours two terms Of
office. But when one looks back o
few months there is peculiar cri-
cuinstance brought to light When
Mayor Couehanour was nominated a.
mass meeting last spring n the
Elite opera house the editor Of the Ia
dependent along with some Of his po-
litlcal henchmen did not approve Of
the manner i'm which the honor was
given him and on March goth the
Editor of the Independent along with
ten or twelve other taxpayers, voters
and residents Of this city and before
the ticket nominated in the opera
house had been filed, petitioned the
city clerk to place the name Of W. A..
Coughanour on an Independent ticket
for Mayor Of the city Of PayeJto.
Now on March 18TH according to the
statement made by Mr.. Kirk the
Mayor was allowed a bin in the city
council for fixing a pump and for 9th
err labor and material for the city and
HE KNEW IT. Then on March goth
the same year w r. Kirk knowing
all these things so detrimental TO
our present Mayor signed petition
petitloning the city clerk Of this city
to place Mr. Coughanour's name on
an Independent ticket for Mayor OF
Payette. He wanted him for Mayor
and yet knew all these irregularities
he claims existed Truly it has ia
ken the regenerative spirit some
time to work to the fore and many
will wonder why this sudden change

SUPREME COURT.
Two Eastern Connecticut Cases Argued Before the Judges in the State Capitol.

When Wednesdays session of the supreme court Of errors was opened in the capitol arguments in the Wind ham county case of Frank R. Jackson ct al. against the town of Union were resumed. Senator Charles Searls ar guing the case for the plaintiffs and Attorney W. H. Reed for the defend ant. The case involved the right of the town of Union to tax the plaintiffs on it's sawmill plant in the town. The plaintiffs paid the amount of the tax, $75, under protest. The office of the plaintiffs is in the town of Eastford. The case was brought under section 2342 of the general statutes.
 The next case taken up was that of Ferdinand Girard against the Grosven- ordale company, defendants appeal. Brown g. Perkins were counsel for the plaintiff and Searls & Russell for the defendant. This was an action for personal injuries received by the plain tiff while in the defendant's employ. These injuries were caused by the rall- ing upon the plaintiff of a certain countershafting in the L spinning room, so-called, of the defendants mill. The sole negligence of the de- fendant, upon the theory of which the learned judges allowed the case to go to the Jury, was that the defendant negligently operated it's shafting and connections after a portion of one of its large pulleys had been broken and it knew it and negligently failed to shut off the power driving the pulley" As a result of the continued operation of the shafting and it's connections with it's brokn pulley the countershaft- ing was pulled down.

THE TEAsER.D
Three Act MeIodrama capitalIy Pre-
 sented by Union Dramatic Society.

As presented by the Union Dramatic company Wednesday evening at the Spiritualist academy on Park street be- fore an enthusiastic audience, "The Teaser," 8 melodrama in three acts, was capitally given by a cast of local amateurs who added this one to their previous list of successful productions. It was the opening one of the two nights on which the play is to be given. and the good work on the first night promises a good sized house again tonight.
 The cast of characters follows: Ellice Fleming, Hadie Blackstone Dr. Thorpe, a homeopathic philosopher,
 Albert P. Blinn Mrs. Flemyng' a widow; r p.,,.,- Squire Randall, a schemer
 Eugene J. Carroll Drudy Todd. loquacious female,
 Emma Carroll UraIlah Higgins, whose front name
 fits, Arthur Dobbrow Clarence E. Messenger as
 Arnold Haye, a young journalist Village Choral Society-Prof Way back, Mrs. Doolittle. Mrs. Whitehead, Uraliah Higgins, Mrs. Stubbs and others.
 Scene-The Village of Hardscratch. Time-The Present.
 In the part of the heroine, Hadie Blackstone plays the role of the coun- try girl with understanding, making an effective love scene with Clarence E. Messinger. who makes a hit as the young journalist, who saves the family home from the designs of the scheming william, who is strongly portrayed by Eugene J. Carroll Jennie F. Burdick handles the part of the widow with dramatic instinct. and Albert P. Blinn is very natural as the doctor.
 Arthur Dobbrow as the R. F. D. car rier and Emma Carroll in the part of a loquacious female are both admirably fitted to their parts and keep the fun at high water mark while they are on the stage each scoring a hit in their solos. The Village Choral society, all in costume, was also a winning mum Der in the musical line, singing Cousin Jedediah and Strike the Cymbal. Those composing the choral society were Mir. Blackstone, Mrs. Gertrude Tootill. Mrs. Fannie F. Polsten, Arthur Dobbrow, Mrs. c. s. Twist and T. B. Linton.
 The instrumentalists for the inciden- tai music and the specialties between the acts were Miss Elsie R. Bogue, piano. and Miss Minnie M. Townsend, violin. Between the acts four children suitably costumed won loud applause for meritorious duets. Miss Ruth and Master Harlow Bogue singing Annie Laurie and Polly, Wolly Doodle. whte the Misses Ruth and Matilda Beetham sang That's What the Rose Said to Me and The Moonboat.
 Home made candy was for sale in charge of Mrs. Blinn. the pretty boxes and delicious candy selling well.

CHARLES PARK THROWN OUT.
Came Near Being TrampIed Upon by Horse in Shetucket Street-Wagons Colided.

A few minutes after 6 o'clock Wed nesday evening teams of Adams F. Carroll and Charles Park, going in op- posite directions, collided in Shetucket street in front of the First National bank, caused by the latter being unable to get out of the car track, the wheels sliding along the rail as an effort was made to turn out. When they came together MT. Park was thrown over the dashboard under the horses feet which was jumping about excitedly and it was very fortunate that he es- caped being trampled upon. He was assisted to the walk and into J. A. Moran's store, where he soon regainetl his composure, He was badly shaken up and complained of his left arm, on which he struck. With him was John Lanahan, whose back was somewhat injured, but neither had any broken bones.
 The Carroll double seated carriage was the only one damaged and that only slightly about the shafts. The af- fair caused quite crowd to gather.

Crew Dissatisfied.

Dissatisfaction is being shown by the members of the crew of the whal- ing schooner Margaret, says the New London Day,on account of the amounts that are being deducted from wages for goods purchased while on the voy- age. Some of the men claim that they are being made to pay from three to four times what the goods are usually sold for. For instance, they say they are being charged as high as $1 for socks that are usually sold for 25 cents and from s3 to $4 for trousers that can be bought for about $1
 Some of the members of the crew have not only expressed dissatisfac- tion in words, but they have put the matter in the hands of attorneys.
 In this city it is stated an attorney turned down an offer of a similar case. Some of the crew here signed off, while 1t is said others didn't
