The Democratic nomination for the
 Twenty-frst senatorial district was
 held last evening at the Democratic
 headquarters and a nomination was
 made in the person of Attorney Chris
 tian M. Newman, which, in itself,
 spelled victory for the party in that
 district The senatorial district is
 made up of the First, Second, Third,
 Fourth and Fifth districts and, under
 normal conditions, has been casting
 large Republican majority. Since it's
 creation as a separate senatorial dis
 trict, it has been carried only once
 by the Demo cratic party and that was
 six years ago when Senator Archibald
 McNei1 defeated Allan w. Paige: But
 with the rebellion now existing in the 0Republican ranks against the present
 existing conditions, the excellent
 nomina ton of Christian M- Newman,
 by the Democrats of that district last
 evening, is sure to carry the district
 for the Democracy this fall.
 The convention was called to order
 by Town Chairman William w. Bent
 shortly after eight o'clock. The first business was the election of chair
 Murphy was chosen by the convention to preside. On motion of Alderman Walker, Alderman Robert G. DeF'or- est was selected as secretary. On the roll call, most of the delegates re- sponded, with the exception of few where proxies were substituted. The presiding officer then called 1 for nominations for senator. MT Clabby, chairman of the Fifth dis trict, arose and, in a. speech setting forth the merits and record of Chris tian M. Newman, placed that gentle man in nomination.. MT. Clabby, in
 making the nomination spoke as fol-
 lows:
 for the Twenty-first senatorial dis trict we must bear in mind the un- usual conditions which prevail in that TT1~ r1.Nf district A Democratic, candidate, in order to carry it, must get the sup port of many men who ordinarily vote the Republican ticket.

The coroner questioned the witness
 specfally SD VIZ for 'h the @ operation ton of the fire
 extinguishers in case of fire. Witness said that in case of a small fire when
 the trainmen are not obliged to leave
 the scene the trainmen usually oper-
 ate the extinguishers- Witness said
 that a fire extinguisher was for the
 purpose of dealing mostly with in
 cipient fire. Witness was questioned
 at length by the coroner as to the
 efficiency of the fire extinguishers in
 the hand of the men who could prop
 erly handle them. The witness gave
 evasive answers to most of the ques-
 tions asked him and lodged about
 every important point the coroner
 fire extinguishers handled by trained men couldn't have kept the fire which
 burned the young women who were killed. from gaining headway. Wit
 ness offered many answers which he qualified with ifs and 'tands." The coroner was persistent however and finally gained the point he sought. 'Iet us assume that there is a small, fncipient fire in one corner of the car and it is rapidly spreading '' said the coroner. Now, if there were, say fire extinguishers handled by trained men applied to this fire, would the extinguishers serve to check the fire and prevent it's further spread for a certain length of time, at Ieast?" Witness said that he didn't consider that the extinguishers would be that effective The coroner then asked w nat eaELnly SOOQ are JheSe hre eX- tinguishers? ?'' Witness replied stub bornly that the only use was for in- cipient fires. The witness was then questioned by Vice. President Buck land of the railroad, who attempted to bring out the point that it would be impracticab1e to provide a crew of l men trained to handle fire extinguish- I CTS. Coroner Phelan then asked wit ness if he considered that the rail- l road would not be the gained by pro- viding such trained crew rather Itllan pay for deaths resultant from 1 that he thought the road would save by having such a trained crew. The l evasiveness of the witness and his reluctancy and apparent fear in an swering some of the questions put to him..

WOMAN FIRES AT PAINTER WHO WAS
 USING TRAP DOOR
Joseph William Barron Bro dine Has Thrilling Ex
 perience
On His Complain Woman Is Arrested Says Her Home Was Robbed and She Sus- pected Painters.

Her entire apartments cleaned out but a few days ago by sneak thieves and husbands backs, believing that some painters working about the build ing knew something of the burglary, and remaining home from work osten- SiDly to beat some rugs, Mrs. Thomas Britt, who lives at 792 East Main street fired three shots at Joseph William Barron Brodine, commonly known as Barron as he descended through a trapdoor in the roof after having pre- viously been discovered in the same act and warned away.
 BrOdine or Barron is employed by the well known painter and decorator F. J. Abercronbie whose establishment is located at the corner of Water street and Fairfield avenue. He resides at Barnum terrace, Stratford, and has been working at the East Main street residence a painter for several days This morning. according to his own re- 1ation he was engaged in painting the outside of the building from a scaffold and wishing to go to the street below he believed the nearest way was by a trap-door on the roof leading through Mrs. Britt's apartments. The floor below is reached by a portable ladder As he opened the trap-doors he was confronted by Mrs. Britt who told him that he could not go through her apartments.
 According to Mrs Britt allegations when brought to the police station she suspected those employed upon the
 
 burglary, and while concealed in the house where she employed her time in beating rugs, heard a. noise of a trap-door being raised and went to the foot of the ladder. BI>odine's form was seen descending. She called to him and ordered him to go back. This She states he refused to do but answered her in an indecent manner, calling her vile names. She threatened to call for help and he went to the roof. She then removed the ladder, and placed it against another trap also leading from the roof to her apartments on the top floor.
 She again heard the noise of someone trying to enter that room, and securing a 32 calibre revolver took position below. Brodine again appeared and was again warned to go back. He an swered according to her story with ob- scene abuse and she warned him it he attempted to come into the room she would shoot He took a step and effect in the woodwork surrounding the apperture, none of tha.1 striking the painter who was inpelled to make a nasty exit.
 Brodine appeared with his employer F. J. Abercrombie, at the second pre- cinct station and informed Sergeant Philip M. Blansfield of the occurrence and all concerned were brought to po- lice headquarters where the matter was laid before Supt. Eugene B:rming- ham. It was concluded 10 hold Mrs. Britt upon a charge of assault and realty bonds for $1OO posted to insure her appearance in City Court Both Mrs. Britt and her husband N orl in a local factory during the day ard it was during their :ibsence We'd r-esday that the house was burglar izcd.
