CORNER STONE.

Torrington's New Catholic Charch-A
 ThrOng OfPeople.
 The laying of the corner stone of St. Fran cis' new church commenced at 2:30 p. m. Sunday. The opening address or sermon of the day was made by the Rev. J. H. Duggan, of Waterbury, formerly pastor of this place. He proved himself to be very eloquent and interesting preacher. There were on the platform twenty-one priests and the Rt. Rev. Lawrence McMahon, D.D., bishop of the dio- cese of Hartford, and assistants. The ser mon of the day was followed by the offering of the children of the Sunday school, who formed in line between the two churches, and deposited their offering in the basket as they passed the corner stone. The reading of the ritual of the church was done by the presiding pastor, the Rev. P. Duggan. This was followed by the bishop and assistants and all priests present at ceremony of enter ing the new church and blessing the holy water, afterward returning to the corner stone and conferring blessing upon that by singing the 1itany of the saints. Following this the blessed privilege of the laying of the stone took place, after which the clergy men in line went around the church and the bishop sprinkled holy water upon the line of the procession. It is estimated that there were fully 5000 people present, and a great number of teams drove in during the cere- mony from neighboring towns.

SHnnnaA WnrE


 When Inspector Dillon arrived at the trench of the new sewer on Grand avenue yesterday, he found that the masens were not at work. Asking them the reason he found that they had stopped work because of the new rule made by the Board of Public Works requiring all masons and laborers employed by the city to get their weekly pay at the Boards supply house at Oak and Spruce streets. This the men felt to be a hardship. A long walk of from two to six miles after hard days labor was the trou- ble complained of. The East Rock Park Iaborers in particular would have to walk about six miles up and return to get paid off. The masons' society's rule in the case pre- scribes that the men must be paid off at 5 o'clock on the ground where employed. The matter will probably be amicably arranged.

BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


 A large audience attended the opening per formance at Bunnell's Grand Opera House and museum last evening, when the third season began under the able management of G. B. Bunnell. The attraction was Bennett & Moulton's comic opera company, in "Olivette" which was we'll sung by the mem bers of the company, and heartily enjoyed by the audience as proved by their almost con- stant applause. The interior of the house presents pretty sight with it's velvet backed opera chairs, containing coat and hat rack, and umbrella stand, its two new boxes and many other improvements showing that Manager Bunnell did not forget to arrange for the comfort of his patrons during the coming season. The curio hall has been fit ted up in excellent taste, and at the front end MT. Parker, who has ably assisted MT. Bunnell in the management of the mu- scum since the absence of Dale Armstrong, has refreshment stand, where all kinds of candy and temperance drinks can be obtain ed. Treasurer George E.

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

MT. James O'Neil appeared Edmund Dantes and Count de Monte Cristo at the New Haven Opera House last night before 8 large audience, and was well received. His impersonation was as usual excellent. The scenic effects were very elaborate, having been painted entirely new. Miss Elizabeth Boudinot, who took the part of Mercedes, was very successful. She acted her part with grace and with many delft touch of nature marked what was 8 surprisingly good portrayal. She, looked the part both in the earlier and later scenes, the contrast between the reckless lovely beauty, the idol of her betrothed, and the grief-stricken wife being marked with artistic discretion. MT. H. Fernando, who took the part of MT. H. Gould, did some good acting. The Abbe Faria was imper- sonated by MT. s. Miller, who played his part in very fine and touching manner. The audience was well pleased with the per formance. The house presented very pret- ty appearance with the new electric lights. It can be lighted as if by magic in an in- stant. A huge reflector pendant from the ceiling throws volume of light impossible of production in any other manner. Monte Cristo will be repeated tonight. All who wish to see good performance should at tend.

Among the prominent soldier members of
Congress the Hon. William Peters Hepburn, of

| House of Representatives for the Eighth Dis
trct. He is printer and q lawyer as well as
soldier, and in his prime being 80 years old,
with the appearance of a man of 40 He was

lie enjoyed the privileges of good public schools,
and that most excellent of educators, printing
office. He was deeply immersed in Blackstone
aud Chitty at 20, and developed such talent in
his chosen profession that in 1856 he was
elected Prosecuting Attorney of his County
After serving as Chief Clerk of the Iowa House
of Representatives in 1853 he was in the Fall
of the same year elected District Attorney for
the Eleventh Judicial District.
The outbreak of the war brought his civil
career to an end for a time and in August, 1861
he entered the Union army as Captain of 3 of
the I'd Iowa Cav. With his regiment he par
ticipated in the New Madrid campaign the
first field service. In the advance on Corinth
the regiment was all the time on the extreme
left wing and for two months was under fire
nearly, if not quite, every day.
In the Fall of 1861 he had been promoted to
Major of his reg iment, and in June, 1862, was
on Sheridans staff when the latter was in COM
mand of a cavalry brigade. After Sheridan
left he was made an Inspector of Cavalry, and
then served as Judse-Advocate on Gen. Rose.

spector- General Of Cavalry, having in January,
1863, been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel of his regiment Just before the in
vestment of Chattanooga, in the Fall of 1868,
he rejoined his regiment; but in February,
1864, by assignment from Gen. Grant, Sue
ceeded to the command of the Second Brigade
of the Cavalry Division of the Sixteenth Corps
of the Army of the Tennessee.
During the closing months of the war he was
on detached service.
Since the war Col. Hepburn has been identi-
fed more or less with Iowa and national poll
tics. In 1876 he was an Elector- at Large on
the Republican ticket. He was elected as a Re-
publican to the 47th, 4Sth and 10th Congresses
by comfortable majorities over all. In this
Congress he occupies chair in the Committee
on Judiciary, one of the most important of the
House. He is recognized by his colleagues and
the public rs an able and growing man.
He has been conspicuous during his Congress
sional career for his earnest effective service as
Representative of the interests of his CON-
rades-in-arms in the late war, without regard
to the locality whence the call for his aid has
come.
Col. Hepburn's family is one of the most

characterized by genial simplicity, utterly

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The Embarrassments Of a Newly.Arriyed Lady.


One of the many pecularities of Washington
etiquet, which always embarrasses and often
annoys the new officials and their families, is
that which prescribes seniority in service in
one branch of the Government as basis for
precedence, and requires those who newly enter
that branch and their families, to make first
calls on all who have served longer than them
selves and their families. AS the Supreme
Court, Senate and Cabinet all rank higher than
the House of Representatives, the wife of u new
Member of tie latter has to call first on the
families of all of these, and, of course on the
ladies at the White House and the Vice
Presidents wife, as well as on the wives of all
the Members of the lower House of Congress
who have served longer than her husband. In
fact, she has to make first calls on everybody
else, which is often serious source of discom-
fort TO those who have gone to Washington
unaware of this rule, and expecting, being
strangers, TO be called upon and to receive many
attentions.
The wife of a new Member from the rural
districts especially is staggered at this state of
affairs, finding herself at once with a visiting
list ready made for her, numbering upwards of
400 names-there being 40l members in the two
