Second Regiment Armory.

Thousand Dollar Building-Busy Times.
 Chatfeld & Grant have been awarded the contract for building the armory on Meadow street for the local militia, and will sub-let the carpenter work to Kenney $ Phelps, the plumbing and gas fitting to T. w. Corbett. Teams are busy on the land removing the debris of the old Warrington Hooker house, and the work of excavating has commenced The fruit trees, of which there are many, are cut down ready for removal, and altogether things look booming there. The plans have been altered so as to lessen the cost of the interior work about $5,OOO. This accounts for the delay in awarding the contract.

 ond story. On the first floor there will be

Manufacturing Notes.

At Sargent's manufactory work in the moulders' department is comparatively at a standstill. No men have been hired in the place of the moulders that left on account of the reduction of wages, as there is no work at present needed in that department. The head men say that the reduction of wages places the wages back where they were year ago, as the moulders had their wages raised twice in the last year; also that the market is overstocked and that three large hardware concerns have failed in the last month, owing to the overstocking of the market with vari ous kinds of goods.

Delegates Looking After a Good Square
 Neal-Al1 For Judge York.
 The Democratic convention fo: the election of delegates to the Probate convention was held in Turn Hall last evening. Unlike the very quiet affair It was foregone conclu- sion that Judge York was the only candidate for the position, or if there were others they were so far in the shade that an opera glass would be required to distinguish them. The appointment of delegates therefore hedged on the question to who should be appoint ed, the successful ones feeling assured that they would get at least one good square meal on the day that the convention met at the ex- pense of the successful nominee.
 The convention was called to order by Town Chairman Catlin, and on motion George w. Neal, of Westville, was appointed chairman, and F. J. Brethauer secretary:
 On motion, the chairman of each ward del egation was appointed committee on cre- dentials. They retired and soon after report ed a list of delegates
 On motion it was voted that committee of one from each ward be selected to noml- nate ticket. subsequent motion was
 made that each ward delegation select mem
 Der to serve on this committee. The con-
 mittee was selected and retired. In about fifteen minutes they returned and reported the following list of delegates:
 A. l.. Kidston F. H. Brethauer, Maurice McHugh, John Futile, William H. Carroll, Paul Heubisch. Ezra B. Dibble, John J. Don oher, Michael O'Connell, George W. Neal, George A. Linsley, John w. Meacham. Only twelve delegates could be elected, and as there were fifteen wards the names from each ward were placed in 8 hat by the com mittee and three names were drawn out. By this process the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth l wards were left" and the remaining dele gates were reported. This created dissatis faction because those who were Cleft" had counted on a square dinner on the day of the convention. This being settled the conven tion adjourned. It was one of the most qule conventions that has yet been held. An Altercatton and Probable Murder iI Waterbury.
