and the appointment of William B. Fitzgerald to succeed.
 Following in line, Walter w. Smyth was named assistant states attorney and William B. 9ennessey took over the deputy coronership.
 Lottery Racket
 Within a few months after his ap- pointment States Attorney Fitz- gerald staged the most complete roundup of policy and lottery opera tors ever witnessed in Waterbury. Fifty eight men were arrested in a clean and unexpected swoop, and all pleaded guilty to the charges. Six teen were jailed and fined, I;hile the remainder paid lesser fines and received suspended jail sentences.
 Drama also developed in the shrievalty department, when Deputy Sheriff Frank McCann resigned from office after a tiff with High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin. No one has been appointed in his stead.
 About the most humane point of the years chronology of events con- corning Waterbury legal life is the fact that no member of the Water bury Bar association has died. The previous year was marred by several deaths among the legal fraternity ranks.
 Aside from the conspiracy case the criminal docket of the Water bury superior court has been heav- fer during the past year than in many previous seasons. Necessity o1 appointment of Attorney John s Monagan as assistant superior court clerk arose from the press of su- perior court activities.
 Practically all superior court af- fairs have been suspended in favor of the conspiracy trial since No- vember 29. After the first of the New Year, however, civil and crim- inal affairs of the regular docket will be heard in the common pleas court chambers. Common pleas

 in Waterbury, to make the year 1898 the most important in the his- tory of the court house.
 In the wake of these developments and their national prominence, the usual routine court work, including various civil actions, have been transacted. Because of the prepon- derance of the conspiracy case trial, however, civil trials have been some- what hil1dered in superior court for the past few months.
 Battle Starts
 Hardly had Controller Sherwood L. Rowland taken office in succession of Daniel J. Leary, when litiga- tiou was filed to determine whether Mayor Frank Hayes had power to hire and fire the personnel of the controllers office. The action, WI ich was finally decided in the supp eme court or errors; resulted in the de- termination that the controller shall have direct responsibility for the personnel of his office.
 Next came the investigation which led to the appointment of Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford as special prose- cutor and the irnpanelling of an extraordinary grand jury to probe municipal affairs. The aftermath of the probe has involved high officials of the city, extended to the halls of the capitol at Hartford, and even to areas beyond the state, notably New York.
 Prominence of the probe will reach higher points in the months to come as the court story of the affairs of the city is unfolded.
 Civil action for $600.000, the great est penalty ever sought in civil liti- gation, was filed against Daniel J. Ieary by the Citizens Good Govern menr association, to add spectacle to the years calendar.
 On the heels of the grand jury's report came the resignation of States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis,

 While events of national import were taking place here, the usual and ordinary affairs of court were proceeding in orderly fashion. The largest judgment of the year was recorded in the court of common pleas in the suit of Frederick F. Squires against the Clark Bros. Chewing Gum Co. The judgment, for $23 800, was entered February A, 1898, and is now being prepared for supreme court arguments.

 50 we're the first round-rtippers of the year!" they both exclaimed nj mock surprise when informed of the. singularity of their voyage 50 What?"
 After some minutes of talk, the Tooheys were convinced they were something out of the ordinary in the way of tourists. They were as- sured that being the first persons to make round trip vacation tour this year to Alaska. they had made somewhat of bid to fame.
 MT. and Mrs. Toohey live in Bozeman, Montana, where MT. Toohey has business interests. They did not know they were coming to Alaska when they went to Seattle to visit their daughter Margaret, a student at the University of Washington.
 We had a couple of weeks to kill and so we just decided to do something we had always wanted to do-go to Alaska. We've had a wonderful trip so far and have met some wonderful people We're en- toying it immensely"
 E It is incidentally. the first boat trip the Tooheys have ever taken. But they were still a little wonder ing as to why they were famous" just because they happened to be the first tourists of what promises to be AlaSkas biggest tourist year.
