A. Trio of Prisoners Before Judge
Bradstreet This Morning.
Thomas Smith, a young man with his
face resembling a chopping block, one
eye closed and the other fast following
it, was the first offender before his
honor this morning. He was an old as
pirant for police court sentence and was
given 10 and costs.
Last Thursday Constable Rigney and
DenDis Mayo, a barber on Bank street,
went to the house of an Italian on
Orange street, the constable wishing to
make an arrest and taking Mayo for in
terpreter. Constable Rigney knocked on
the door and Mayo asked for the parties
wanted, who it appears are the Italians
w ho did the stabbing a short time since.
They were not found,however. Thismorn
ing Mayo was in court to answer to
the charge of using abusive language to
the woman in the house. It appears
from the evidence that Mayo was the
innocent party and the witnesses the
guilty ones, Judge Bradstreet discharged
him.
A little boy was in court to answer to
the charge of truancy. Owing to the
absence of Attorney Burpee his case was
adjourned until Friday next.

Rev J. H. O'Donnell has an article in
the Connecticut Catholic this week upon
"How Divorces Are Secured in Water
bury." In it he says: If it be true, that
certain husbands and wives of Water
bury mutually argree to separate, and
for that purpose do what in the eyes of
the law is sufficient reason for divorce,
it behooves the respectable, law-abiding
citizens of our city to place the proper
brand upon such conduct. Give names
and facts as much publicity as possible.
Let the guilty parties be lashed with
whips of scorn, ridicule and contempt;
let them be banished from respectable
society.
WITH CLOSED DOORS
The Fire Commissioners Go Into Se
cret Session and Adopt the "Call"
System.
The board of fire commissioners, at
their adjourned meeting last evening,
voted to introduce the "call" system, to
ake effect February 1. All the mem
bers of the board were present and Com
missiones Roberts presided.
Chairman Connolly of the committee
on re-organizing the department and in
troducing the "call" system, reported
progress and moved that the board go
into a committee of the whole to consi
der the matter. Commissioner Roberts
was appointed chairman and at once
ordered the room to be cleared. Those
present besides members of the board
were: Alderman Rametti, City Sheriff
McDonald and three reporters.
Mr Rametti declared the proceedings
irregular and declined to go.
City Sheriff McDonald said he would
not leave the room ; that lie was ap
pointed by the common council to
attend all board meetings and he was
only attending to his duty.
Commissioner Roberts, with the dig
nity of a presiding officer of the United
States senate, made a little speech in
which he declared that it was the meet
ing of a committee and not of the fire
board, and if the gentlemen did not re
tire the committee would move to
another room. Messrs McDonald and
Rametti and the members of the press
then retired.
The cecret session lasted one hour, the
time being given up to discussing the
means of bringing about the new sys
tem. When the board came to order the fol-
lowinsr report on salaries per year under
the new system was read and adopted :
Three captains at 500 each ; twenty
seven hose and ladder men at 50 each ;
four drivers and tillermen at $700 each ;
one engineer in active service, $250 ; as
sistant in active service, $lau ; one re
serve engineer, $200 ; one reserve assist
ant. $100. The salaries of the four
drivers and tillermen Is increased under
the new rule from $660 to 700 per year.
This makes the total expenditure 5.020.
Fart of this increase the commission
ers claim they can save by using the
250 yearly allowance granted each vol
unteer company, leaving tne nee in
crease of expenses about 1800 a year.
Commissioner Connolly moved that
the rules and regulations of the "call"
system go into effect in three companies
namely; Phoenix Fire Co., Citizens
Steamer Co., and Mutual Hook and Lad
der Co.. on February 1, 1800.
Commissioner Mahaney seconded the
motion and the resolution was adopted
The rules adopted follow those of the
Bridgeport department.
They require that officers and mem
bers of the company shall be over 21
yars of age, of good moral character,
residing in. W aterbury.witn a knowl
edge of reading and writing. Hie cap
tain of each company is required to visit
the station of his company once m every
twenty-four hours. No "call'' men will
be allowed to bo absent from the city
for more than twenty-four hours with
out the permission of a lire commission
er. No member or prominent officer
will Le allowed to take part in any cau
cus or political convention, to distribute
ballots or take part in any political mat
ter, except to vote.
The farce of balloting for a chief was
the last business of the meeting. There
was no choice made, the voting result
ing as follows: First T. C. O'Brien 1,
S. C. Snagg 2, T. D. Bassett 1 ; second
S. C. Snagg 1, T. D. Bassett 1, J. II.
Bvrnes 2; third S. C. Snagg 1, T. D.

Snagg 2, J. WT. McDonald 2: fifth S. C.
Snagg 1, T. D. Bassett 1, II. F. Cunning
ham 2.
The board then adjourned until next
Thursday evening.
can not do it.
Ex-Fire Commissioner Kelly is op
posed to the whole scheme, fiist, upon
the ground that the present volunteer
department is the equal of any depart
ment in the state, and secondly
because the commissioners are exceed
ing their powers. Mr Kelly claims that
the system will cost the city 15,000 a
year 'more than the present department,
and will not show as good results.
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
Patrick Holohan, another large pro
perty owner, is perfectly satisfied with
the volunteer department and believes
in letting well enough alone. Mr Holo
han is outspoken in his condemnation of
the action of the board and favors fight
ing the matter to the end.
' ONE WAT TO KILL OFF PHOENIX.
Alderman F. J. Rametti says
the whole scheme was origi
nated by the enemies of
Phoenix Fire company. The highest
legal authority has been consulted and
the action of the commissioners is re
garded as contrary to law. Alderman
Rametti also said that he understood
that City Attorney Terry admits that
the commissioners, while they have
power to hire men, car not disorganize
any established fire company.
PHCENIX MEN ARE TRUE BLUE.
T. II. Hayes said he had been connect
ed with Phoenix Fire company in the
capacity of foreman for nearly fifteen
years, that the members were always
prompt in responding to -alarms and
never questioned the authority of their
superior officers. Property owners have
reason to be alarmed unless the court of
common council take prompt action in
this matter.
CHRIS STROBEL OBJECTS.
Chris Strobel did not favor the "call"
system. He thought Waterbury had a
good volunteer department and could
get more men to help at a tire now than
if they had this new system.
BANKER PARSONS IS MAD.
When the reporter called at Holmes &
Parsons' banking home, Mr Parsons said
he was too mad to be interviewed. He
denounced the new system very strongly
and said that Waterbury had a very fine
department and needed no such change.
He was opposed to the action of the lire
commissioners.
PROTECT THE NORTH END.
John G. Jones said he was very much
opposed to the way the fire board had
run things for over a year. He thought
the north end of the city should have
better protection and he favored any
kind of a system that would place a
steamer in that section of the city.
THE SYSTEM IS ALL RIGHT.
Ralph Blakeslee said that he had not
given the subject much study but he be
lieved in letting well enough alone. He
said people seamed to be well satisfied
with the present volunteer department.
WILL COST TO MUCH.
Alderman Munson is oppoed to the
scheme. "I do not beleive in it," said
Mr Munson; for the reason that it will
cost too much money' and the volurteer
department is good enough for us.
JUDGE COWELL'S OPINION.
Judge Cowell said that a volunteer de
partment was all right, but when poli-
as it is said, it is time to make a change.
CHASED BY AN OFFICER.
A Child Frightened Iuto Serious Illnaaa
by a Detective.
Pittson, Pa., Dec. 13. Annie Fadden,
aged 13 years, is at her borne at the
Junction suffering with a diseaso simi
lar to St. Vitus' dance. She is the
daughter of a widow and only a few
days ago was a healthy child. Annie s
condition is duo primarily to the con
ductof Detective Bull, of the Delaware,
Lackawana and Western Railroad, and
an assistant.
The girl was sent by her mother to
pick coal, and it being scarce, the child
rilled her bucket from a loaded car.
The detective started after Annie. She
ran across tho bed of the canal, which
had nearly two feet of water in
it, and was captured on the opposite
bank. An indignant people prevented
the detective . from taking her to
Wilkosbarre, and she was fined $7 be
fore 'Squire Jordan. Since then Annie
has been delirious, at times shrieking:
"They're after me! They're after me."
The physicians fear that she may
have a prolonged and dangerous illness.
In capturing her the officers handled
her roughly, and her arms and shoul
ders boar marks of bruises and violent
usage. It is believed that Hull and his
assistant will be held responsible for
the girl's condition. There is some
talk of prosecuting the detectives.
No Trace of Dillon.
New York, Dec. 14. Not a trace
of Dave Dillon or of his boat, in which
he was blown out to sea, has been
found. All day a number of steam tugs
were scouring the bay for the missing
boatman. The belief of all is that Dave
was picked up by some outgoing vessel.
Dillon left a family of four children
and his wife, all of whom are nearly
distracted with grief.
Clerk Transgard has telegraphed all
along the Long Island and New Jersey

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Waterbury, December 13, 1889.
At a regular meeting of Court Wolf
Tone No 7,484, A. O. F. of A., the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions ware
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God,
high chief ranger of the universe, to re
move from our midst, October 22, 1889,
our beloved brother, William H. John

the loss of our esteemed brother we
humbly bow in submission to the will of
him. who doeth all things well, and has
called our brother from pain and suffer
ing to everlasting iest.
Resolved, That we extend our heart
felt sympathy and condolence to his
widow, parents and family in their
hour of alHiction.

link has been taken from our Forestic
chain. We. therefore, see the importance
of being prepared for that solemn event,
when our souls shall be called to prepare
for the realities of another world.
Resolved, Knowing as we do that our
sympathies are insufficient to repair so
great a loss, we kindly direct them to
the sympathetic shepherd above, who
has promised to be a father to the
fatherless and a husband to the widow,
praying that he may console them and
give them grace to say, not our will but
tnine De done.
Resolved, That a copjr of these resolu
tions be sent to the bereaved widow and
parents, a copy be spread on the
