TOWn Reports.
Waterbury’s board of Selectmen have
issued their report for the , past year.
It is a. businesslike document free from
all doubt or ambiguity. An interesting
feature and one that‘shonld be copied
by our new board, is the record kept of
orders given, and distributions made to
the outside poor. This record contains
the name and address, of every person
and family assisted, the number in the
family and amount. One family had 13
members. The largest amounts paid to
any families were 8179, $174 and $150.
The lama-lest amount paid was 15 cents
for medicine. «
A list of temporary and permanent
inmates of the almshouse is given, with
their birthplace and age. During the
year'there were 217 in all. The oldest
inmat: was 80. There were 11 over 70.
The third new department is a list 0
heapital inmates and the expense ac-
counts of each. The number cared for
in each hospital is as follows. Con-
necticut Hospitil for the Insane, 53;
Waterbury hospital, 67; General Hos-
pital society, 15; Grace Hospital soci
cty.1.
A town store is kept by Waterbury,
sale, are distributed. The detailed re-
port of the superintendent of this town
store shows the amount in pounds of
each article distributed upon the order
'01 the sclecimen: Beans, 3,93%; coffee,
993}; codfish, 1 051;
buckwheat, 752; film, 23,553; oat meal,
1,911; pork, 773,634; pOtatoes, 23,1425
rice, 1,21%; sugar, 17,108; tea, 1,108.
The ‘tems of miscellaneous accounts
are republished in .3 table by them-
selves in order. probably, to show what
some of the ex.raordinary expenses of
corn meal and
the year were.
The almshousc acounts show that the
city of Waterbury paid to the town
for board if prisoners $61.71.
-When the sclectmen wish to make a
temporary loan they draw an order for
the amount upon the same blank as used
in other departments. This serves all
the purposes of a demand note. It is
taken to the town treasurer, who in-
dorsss it, and it is then held against the
town. If, When it is presented, there
is not enough money in the town treas-
ury to pay, it is provided by stitutes
thatitsnall draw at 6 per cent. from
the time it is presented for payment.
' In fact this same rule holds good in the
' consumed
case of any order presented, which can-
notfor any reason, be paid.
It Will be seen at a glance what an
improvement the Waterbury-system of
keeping its to wngccgunts is .upon that
which has for longyears been in prac-
tice here in Norwalk. Even little Wil-
ton is ahead of us in the matter of giv
ihg out town orders. Like our city
system, it has stated times when all or-
ders are acted upon by the board, and
the fullest publicity is accorded.
Growing Gold Production.
One of the stuck assertions of the free
coinage advocates is that the gold pro
duction of the world does not keep pace
with the world’s needs; that it is large-
ly absorbed in the manufacture of jew-
elry, restricting the amount aviiilable
for coinage and tending to increase its
value, and thus to increase the actual
wealth of cppitalists to the 1mpover1sh4
meat of 13.11:; masses. The trouble with
this assertion is that it is not truthful.
The reports of the United'Stites mint
for the years 1893 and 1834 place no
entire gold production of the world for
1893 .i $157,000,090 anti 1011394 at 8180,-
(l00,000. AquUCe estimates for thecur-
rent year 1n.i.cate an increase of 320,-
001,000 over 1894, or a total of $200,000,-
00), making an aggregate gold pro-
duction for the three years Of $537,000,-
000. N 0 one passessed of common sense
believes that this vast sum has been
in the or that the
amount dei oted to coinage purposes
has failed to keep pace wrtn expanding
financial requirements.
arts,
The mere publication of these ntatis»
tics should diSpose of the fidea'nf the
necessity of free silver coinage because
of a lack of gold for money purposes.
The further fact that the United States
produced $46,000,000 of gold for 1895,-
leading all other countries except South
Africa, demonstrates thepabsolulc folly
of the proposition that this country
shall abandon thegold standard, and
reduce its financial standard to that of
the hall-civilia ed and [31121111 nations.
The country that leads all other coun-
tries in gold production can best of all
other nations afford 1o maintain its cur-
rency at the gel! standard, and least of
' all others afi'ovd to do any thinr else.

Each one claimed 32,500 damages.
The trial of these cases rec 1118 a most
important decision of the supreme
court under a recent date, whereby the
company attempted to escape damages
in a suit for injuries in the ‘same acci-
‘deni, by clairriin.r that as the trouble
occurred on Sunday, it was not liable
under the old Blue L we. "l‘he case
referred to was that of Gilbert Horton
and wife of this city. Mrs. Horton
was a victim of the same accident and
at the time was in a delicate condition
and the shock created unnritlral re-
sults. Mr. Horton instituted a suit'to
recover $10,000 d images and was
awarded $550 and his costs. l‘he com;
pany filed an appeal to the supreme
court of errors. It claimed that the
undertaking between the compiny and
the plaintifi’for her transportation on
Sunday Was in violation of the statute
laws of the State and that she Was
therefore not entitled to recover any-
thing. The ciurt,
the company was responsible for the
Occident and sustained the judgment of
Judge Shumway. _’1‘he suits of Sykes
and Natske had been instituted pre-
vious to this decision but have not
been tried before, owing to the unset-
tled condition of the matter.
Both men came to Niorwalk on the
Sunday in question on an excursion
from Bridgeport. 'l‘hey boarded a
Roton Point err, and after proceeding
some distance, were obliged to wait at
a turnout. Finally the motorman be-
came tired of the delay and leaving the
trailer behind started for the next turn-
out. At the first curve in the'road he
met the car coming in the Opposite di-
rection. The cars were crowded and
pasSengers hanging on the sides. Sykes
occupied a Beat on the rear plat-form
'and when-the crash came he was hurled
against the body of the car with great
force. He Was injured about the head
and also internally. It was several
weeks before he could be about. Na-
tske was also severely hurt.
The cases were defaulted some time
ago and the hearing yesterday was in

against Mrs. Fleming.
George Gordon Battle. the assistant dis-

Attorney McIntyre, the public prosecutor
in the oyer and terminer, Opposed the mo-
tiOn on the ground that the defendant in
this case could not in reason urge that she

The charges against the daughter Of
Mrs. Bliss, he said, were fully stated at
the coroner’s inquest into the death of her
poisoned mother, at which the defendant
was present, nor was there any reason to
assume that additional evidence had been
laid before the grand jury.
After hearing the long arguments of
the attorneys on both sides Justice Ingra-
