Waterbury is not new territory in the strict acceptance of the term. It was one of the cities included in the winter campaign of two years ago and for the last eighteen months it has had an excellent Equal Suffrage Lea gue under the presidency of Mrs. Ju- Illus Maltby. There have been many suffrage meetings in Waterbury and these meetings are usually well at- tended and the speakers received with ready sympathy.

Alexander Shaw Dead.

After an illness OF several week S jura-
ton, the spirit of Mr.. Alexander Shaw,
the well-known sexton of the Richmond
Cemetery, returned to the God Who gave
it at o'clock Sunday afternoon. He
was 10 years old and besides his aged
wife, three sons and daughter are left
to mourn the loss of a model husband
and kind and indulgent father Funeral
services were held at the Presbyterian
church, OF which Mr.. Shaw was de-
vout member, at 2:30 this afternoon,
conducted by DR. ID. H. Scanlon. and
the burial followed in the city of the
dead in which he had worked for nearly
two decades. Some 20 years ago Mr..
Shaw and his family came to this city
from Scotland and since his arrival there
has been no better citizen than he.
STRAIGHTFORWARD, honorable, industrious,
he was esteemed by all and his removal
from earthly scenes causes much sad
ness. He was a gardener in his native
land for years and that accounts TO some
extent for the splendid condition he al
ways kept the cemetery in. He took
great interest in his work and looked
with pardonable pride on his efforts.
That he will be missed no one win doubt
and that his twenty years life in Rich
mond was a benefit to the city, there
are none who viii gainsay.

AttOrneV.

Thomas F. Dol an, who killed Patrick
Mooney in Lexington, and who has just
faced the fifth jury in his trials. is now
free man, Commonwealth Attorney
John Z. Allen having made the motion
to dismiss the case. The Clark county
jury which heard the last trial of the
celebrated case. could not agree. The
members stood nine for conviction and
three for acquittal.
Col. Allen in asking Judge Kerr to
dismiss the case aginst Dolan, said he
would have moved for a dismissal fol-
lowing the last trial, but for the fact
that the jury brought in verdict Of
guilty and in view of that circumstance
he did not think that it was consistent
to recommend a dismissal. He said he
did not think that it was fair to Dolan
to ask him to 90 into another trial
in view of the five trials and no legal
conviction.

One-Cent Postage.

Those Of US who can recollect that
long, recall that some u or Is years ago
the republican party in National con-
vention assembled made one-cent letter
postage one Of their planks in the plat
form Of promises. 1t has never done so
as you would notice il, because the way
the Postofice Department has been run
precluded il and One-cent postage went
to join the long list of untitled promises
by the party so long in power
IL may not be generally known, but
there is an organization styled the Nat
ional One-cent Letter Association, with
headquarters at Cleveland, O., which is
demanding Of Congress that letter post
age be reduced one-half. Remember
ing the high cost Of transportation Of
letters many years ago, the present rate
is not oppressive, but il the revenues of
the postofiice department will admit of
the reduction Of one cent. the democrat
ic party can make big Int by doing so.
With Postmaster General thoroughly
decided 10 put the pOstotice on a bust
ness basis, there is little doubt that if
this reduction cannot be made now, it
can be in year or two.
II while reducing the tariff on the
necessities Of life the democratic party
could also reduce the letter postage,
its popularity would be so greatly in
creased that there would be no question
of a further leaseof power. When the
poor man can feed and clothe himself
without giving up his all aud write let

a cent. everybody will be so satisfied and
happy that socialism, which showed so
largely an increased vote at the last
election, viii peter out like the populist,
prohibition and other so-called parties,
which spring up today and are gone to-
morrow.

Albert House Shoots George
BrOnSton to Death.

About midnight Saturday the peace
and quietude Of the city was broken by
four pistol shots, three Of which were in
rapid succession. Policemen Jesse Dykes
and Claude Devore we're quickly on the
scene, being only about fifty yards away
and seeing the flashes. Arriving, they
found Albert House, who was placed
under arrest and put in Jail. Over in
Hayden Estilrs negro pool-room they
found George Bronston, a well known
negro, dying with three bullet-holes in
his breast He died five minutes later.
Mr.. House was brought before Judge
Shackelford Monday morning, but Coun
ty Attorney jackson was not ready, and
the examining trial was set for this
morning at o'clock. Application was
made for bail for Mr. House by his At
torneys, Messrs H. c. Rice and S. A. d.
Jones, but this was denied on the ground
that bail could not be allowed before
some of the witnesses were heard and
the prosecution was not prepared for
such. Application for guard was then
made and Judge Shackelford granted
this and Policeman Claude Devore was
selected and he acted. AT the trial this
morning, both sides announced ready
and a number of witnesses were
examined. Mr.. House testified, and he
was substantiated. that he was passing
not far from Hayden's pool-room when
George Bronston, who was standing in
or near the door, made remark to him,
using a vile epithet. did you intend
that for me-" asked House. Bronston
replied that he did not call anybody
such names, but at the same time fired
at Mr.. House missing him. 1t was then
that Mr.. House used his weapon and
fired three sho into Bronston's body.
Messrs. Dykes and Devore swore that
when they entered Estill's pool-room
they saw negro named Lewis Gilbert
with pistol in his hand and they asked
him where he got the weapon. He
answered that he had gotten it from
Bronston The pistol was found 10 con-
tain one empty shell and one chamber
had no cartridge There were only
three witnesses for the defense and they
ali swore virtually the same. There
were others present but it was not deem
ed necessary to introduce them. Eleven
were offered for the prosecution ard
they differed only as to the number Of
pistol shots fired. There was no speech
on either side. Judge Shackelford an
nounced that he would hold the de-
PENDANT over to the grand jury on his
owa recognizance Of $500. and the wit
ness 800 each. The court house was
crowded during the trial. which lasted
less than two hours.
