IN THE POLICE COURT.
OLD RESIDENTS RE
NEWING ACQUAINTANCES
Several old time Waterbury people
who now work In other places have
come back to their native town to
spend the Fourth of July, and notwith
standing all the talk about a big dem
onstration here Monday a large num
ber of citizens who live in Waterbury
the year round will renew former ac
quaintances at the old homesteads in
various parts of the New England
states. This shows that no matter how
much one may become attached to new
surroundings the first love never be
comes wholly wiped out and on special
occasions such as Independence day,
Christmas and the day when the soul
is about to separate from the bodyand
return to its Maker, the heart sigh's for
a glimpse of the scenes where it first
felt the happiness of home and the ten
der touch of a mother's hand. ''Say,"
remarked a former resident of "Water
bury to-day to a Democrat reporter, as
he Hurried along Grand street en route
to the parental roof after an absence of
some years, "I noticed coming in the
cars that Pine hill still stands h th"
same spot. Yes, sir, and you. cannot
find a nicer place in this eoiintry, no
matter where you go." There was a
good deal of handshaking about town
during the day and in a few instf. ices
women who on other days walk with
considerable difficulty stepped along
with their sons and daughters from
the railroad cars with an elasticity of
step that would do justice to that of
graduates of the High school. There's
nothing that can vmake a mother move
about with such agility as the presence
of a son or daughter home for the holi
days. ' j
DRUG STORES
WILL BE OPEN
Some months ago the proprietors of
drug stores in the city made an agree,
ment to keep their stores closed from
1 to 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoons.
The agreement was well kept by all
the druggists for several months, but
gradually some druggists on the out
skirts of the city began to forget about
it and to keep their stores open. There
was considerable talk about these vio
lations of the agreement but nothing
was done about the matter. Last Sun
day three stores in the center of the
city kept open. They were G-. Leslie
Dexter & Co, J. W. Cone and J. F.
Duncan. Mr Duncan states that he
kept open because he had been given
to understand that all the drugstores
In the center were open. He Is most
willing to keep his store closed for
one hour on Sundays. When the oth
er druggists heard that three more
druggists had violated the agreement
there was much indignation and con
siderable talk and several conferences
were held. As a result of these con
ferences Secretary Thomas Casey of
the Waterbury Pharmaceutical asso
ciation has sent a notice to evtry
druggist in the city that the areement
to close their stores from 1 to 2 o'clock
on Sunday afternoons is no longer
binding. Druggists will be free to do
as they please to open or close. It
is possible that one or two drug
stores in the center of the city .will
close? for one hour, but the majority
wltl remain open.

Two Hen Committed to BrooKside
Home by Judge Peasley.
John McMahon, who said his home is
in Stamford, told his story in such a
manner to Judge Peasley in the city
court to-day that he was at first or
dered to be held until Monday under a
bond of $25; but McMahon, presuming
that the delay was intended to make
inquiries about him, said he would take
his medicine now and get through with
it rather than have his folks hear
about his disgrace. He at first saui
his wife and two children were staying
with his brother in Litchfield, and a
few moments after he said his brother
was dead, and it was with his step
brother they were staying. He also
denied having ever been arrested be
fore or that he was arrested here about
a year ago, or that he told Officer Dun
phy, who arrested him, that he board
ed on Railroad Hill street. He said
he was never before in Waterbury.
Officer Dunphy found him walking on
the tracks south of the Naugatuck
depot and as he was under the influ
ence of drink he took him into custody
for safety. McMahon had the appear
ance and the demeanor of a rounder.
Judge Peasley granted his request
about giving him his medicine by fin
ing him $5 and costs, giving him the
alternative of working it out at Brook
side. Thomas McNeary was committed
for thirty days to the same institution.
Louis Launier was found asleep in
the postoffice this morning about 2
o'clock. He was put on sixty days'
probation to pay a fine of $5 and costs.

MOTHERS WARNED.
NorwalK Placard Calls Butcber a Dis
ciple of Leutgert
"Warning to South Norwalk citi
zens: Look out for your children.
Monster Wurstmaker, disciple of Luet
gert, who brought grief to many happy
families in this city, who but secretly
Is talked of, is an originator of chil
dren kidnapping stories, is found at
last living in your virtuous city, 76 N.
M. street, in his den. Remember there
is no justice for you, even for you,
could you capture him in his murder
ous act.
"This criminal is protected by Free
Masons.
"GRIEF STRICKEN MOTHERS OF
NEW YORK."
This startling announcement is in
the ands of the South Norwalk police.
It is directed at one of South Norwalk's
butchers Fred Karl, of North Main
street. The "76 N. M.." found in the
missive, refers to the shop of Mr Karl
on North Main street.
Several months ago Mr Karl, out of
sympathy for the supposed writer of
this poster, took him in and boarded
him at his own home in North Main
street. The fellow, whose mind is
somewhat unbalanced, had been living
on his brother's farm in Westpo-t.
Karl knew the brother quite well "and
invited this man to live with him.
Soon after he arrived in South Nor
walk trouble began. Occasionally dur
ing a rush at the market the man would
help Mr Karl. Soon he demanded $1
a day for his services; at times he
would argue with Mr Karl when cus
tomers were in the store until the situ
ation became unbearable. Mr Karl
finally decided to harbor him no longer
and refused to take care of him.
Some time later Karl received postal
cards threatening himself with all
kinds of maltreatment. He received
quite a number of these. Yesterday
he received through the mail the threat
printed above.
The police are on the track of the
writer, and expect to have him in cus
tody in a few days. ChiefVollmer be
lieves the man is harmless. He thinks
his mind is unbalanced. Mr Karl is not
greatly frightened over the matter. He
is anxious, however, to have the fellow
caught and sent off to some asylum.
FOURTH OF JULY.
How it Will be Celebrated
FireworKs Display Club
and Society Outings.
Everybody is very much interested
in the display of fireworks which will
be held here on the evening of the
Fourth of July, and with a view to
getting good points from which to take
It in residents of the Watertown road, j
Morningside, upper North Willow:
street and other places in that district
are having many callers, and by the
time the first shot is fired standing
room will be at a premium in that part
of the town. The exhibition will be
conducted under the personal supervis
ion of three skillful men, representing
the Detwiller & Street Fireworks
Manufacturing Co of New York, where
the stock was purchased. If the weath
er should be rainy or foggy the exhibi
tion will not take place as acmounced,
but will be adjourned; until Tuesday
night or some other time when, the
weather conditions will be favorable.
he committee from the Waterbury
Business Men's association who col
lected the funds and at the same time
kept up a considerable amount of en
thusiasm in the public mind, deserves
great credit forlts efforts It was a
big undertaking, but the committee
was equal to it and none of them felt
that he could afford to take a breath
ing spell until he saw the powder and
ball on the ground and ready for use,
a consolation which was enjoyed early
this forenoon. But the committee will
not be through until the last gun has
been fired and. the debris cleared away,
so that In many respects the tougnest
part of the work is still ahead .of tfiem.
Chief Egan will have the entire police
force on oleck and the best of order
will be maintained.
That the older people of the city may
assist the vounsr folks in celebratine
the glorious Fourth and in displaying
their patriotism by shooting off cannon
and firecrackers and blank cartridges
and many other things, all the factories
and stores and offices will be closed on
the national holiday. All the people
will be given a chance to celebrate the
Fourth in whatever manner they may
desire. While many will leave the city
for the day, the majority of the people
will do their celebrating at home.
Many of the people who will leave
the city will return home earlier than
in former years that they may witness
the display of fireworks.
For the stayers at home the attrac
tions are about as numerous as in
former years. There 'will be special
attractions at Forest park, Belleview
lake and Boulder grove. People can
enjoy a trolley ride to these pleasure
resorts, take a stroll in the groves or
a row on the lake, or they may attend
the vaudeville performance. '. "
If they do not care to visit the parks,
they can attend the picnic and games
which will be held at the Driving park
on Monday afternoon by the South End
Social club in connection with races by
the Waterbury Driving association. A
strong bill is offered.
Golf enthusiasts will spend much of
the day at the links, for an unusually
attractive program has been arranged
for that day. Lovers of base ball will
have to be contested with witnessing
games between teams of a minor na
ture or lse go out of town and see a
good, live game. A number of rooters
will accompany the Waterbury base
ball team to Northampton, Mass,
where it will play two games. -
Thousands of Waterburians will not
spend the day in the city. To-day and
to-morrow and Monday the trains on
all the lines will be crowded with peo
ple going away to the country, sea
shore or city. Hundreds will go to
New Haven and the White City on the
annual excursion of the Brooklyn Ath
letic club, while nearly as many more
will go on the.annual excursion of the
Bridgeport Steamboat Co to New
York.
A number of Waterburians will visit
Naugatuck in the morning to witness
the big parade in which many societies,
bands and drum corps will take part.
The clerks and carriers at the post
office will work only a half day. The
office will be closed at noon. There
will be no evening collection.
MAY GO TO NAUGATUCK.
Expected Assignment for Rev. John
J. McCabe.
Announcement is waited with inter
est of Rev John J. McCabe's first as
signment under Bishop Tiemey, which
will be made in a few days. Father
McCabe is at present In New Britain
visiting relatives.
It is rumored that Father McCabe
will be made curate to Rev James
Sheridan of Naugatuck. There is a
large Polish population in the Nauga
tuck valley, and Father McCabe's
training has been of work in this
field.

The Bristol Press warmly supports
the boom of ex-Senator A. J. Muzzy of
that town for state comptroller. "Bris

ed article, "would indeed be glad to
furnish the next state comptroller, and
we believe that in offering Mr Muzzy
for that office we present a candidate
qualified in every way to perform the
duties and render a faithful steward
ship to the people. It is pleasing also
to note that none deny that practically
the third largest town in the county
should be recognized. The county has
furnished eight governors, eight lieutenant-governors
and four other state
officers In the past fifty years.- Hart

of the governors, all the lieutenant-governors
and one other state official, a
total of sixteen out of the twenty, or
