 Much Splitting
 There was evidently much split ting of tickets especially on the vote for tax collector and borough treasurer. Both Charles r. Daly, the democratic candidate for tax collector and Robert McKiernan the progressive party candidate for this office ran ahead of their tickets while the successful candidate N. Hadley Cox fell behind his ticket. This was especially true in the third ward home of MT McKiernan where Mckiernan ran ahead of his ticket about 20 votes. MT O'Connor the successful candidate for bor- ough treasurer ran far ahead of his ticket in the first ward and also in the third. It was both Mir McKier- nan's and Mrs O'Connor's first ven- ture into politics.
 Fall Down Tn First
 The democrats fell down badly in the first ward where they usually bank on carrying enough over their opponents to pull through and over come the usual big republican ma Jorlties of the third. This ward gave
 
 seven votes. Leaders last night at- trlbuted the big falling off to the belief that MT Waite pulled heavily in this ward from the Jefferso nian ranks. upsetting tho belief that most of the progressive party strength would come from the re- publicans.
 Second Ward Surprise
 Tho tafu sA t.tkl lrl. t..s l..,. close in borough elections upset the tradition of the ward yesterday by giving MT Whiteemore a lead over Warden Green in his own ward by 123 and Mir Waite who also resides in this ward by 227. The progressives banked on n large vote in this ward but tho count did not disclose this.
 Questions Approved
 Tho voters approved of the pro- posed amendments to tho state con- stitution 213 to 04 on the first uues- ton relative to absentee voters and 1s9 To 114 on tho second amendment which would permit the warden and borough treasurer with tho approval of tho board of warden and burgesses to borrow up to the sum of $30O,00O in tempo rary loans. The vote on the ques- ton was light, few taking time or trouble to register their opinions.

How Proposed Legislation at Washington Would
 Hit This State
WATERBURY INCLUDED

Many postal workers in Water- bury will be affected in the event tile post office treasury appropria- ton bill for the coming fiscal year is slashed 10 per cent, according to calculations of the post office de- partment. iN was announced this morning by Postmaster Albert N. Colgrove. Just how many would be dismissed 1t the mathematical problem confronting the local post master.
 The senate has adopted the pol ICY of reducing by 10 per cent de- partmental supply bills as passed by the house and has already ap- proved similar cut in the post office treasury funds. Senator Od- ale of Nebraska, chairman of the genate committee handling tho bill, has been fighting the proposed slash and has bad the post office department estimate the number of workers who would be neces- sarlly dismissed through the reduc- ton.
 In the country as q whole, 58,227 DObtht cIHUiOytb WOuW lObb JuciE jobs. and of these. 55S would be Connecticut workers. according to the calculations given Oddie by the department. Upon the besis of sim- liar figures, about 200 postal at- tnchcs in Hartford would be dis missed
 The department has made its es- inmates upon an index of postal receipts for the fiscal year of 1881. Tn that year, Hartford had ,35 per cent of the total collections, and hcnce would lose about .35 DOT cent. or approximately 200 of the 58,227 postal workers in tho coun. try as a whole who would neces- snrily be dismissed as a result of the cut in appropriations.
 Service Would Bc Cut
 Postal employees in Connecticut who would be discharged are listed by the post office department as: cb assistant postmasters; 167 clerks: 201 city carriers; II village carriers; 20 railway postal clerks; three vehicle employees and 51 rural carrier. In addition, 51 rural routes of the state would be consolidated and b7 such routes would be re- duced to tri-weekly service.
 Tho department also Informed Senator Oddie that in large cities carrier service would be reduced from four to two deliveries daily In the business sections and from two to ono in residential districts.

flames and sparks might spread
to an adjoining building occupied
by the Central National Bank.

ROSARY UPHELD
IN SERMON

Contrasting the rosary with the
"tinkling of cymbals and the
sounding of brass" spoken of by
st. Paul, the Rev. Thomas j. Cot
fey, missionary of the Oblates of
Mary Immaculate, preached the
Washington Catholic Radio Hours
broadcast from the Church of the
Immaculate Conception yesterday
He said:
"The rosary has often been
criticized because of its sim
plicity. 1t has been said that it
is a childish form of prayer. We
willingly cOncede this. 1t is
simplicity for which we should
strive.
Ear better this than the bonn
baStic OratiOnS which are called
prayers and which we hear so
frequently at public gatherings.
Surely in the rosary there is
nothing reminiscent of the
sounding Of brass spoken of by
st. Paul. Thank God if it be
childish, for it must therefore
be dOubly pleasing to Him."
