THE LATE FLOOD.
Further Reports of the


 None of the Boston trains over the Shore Line road were able to get through yester- day, and probably will not before Wednes- day. The trains came over the Springfield and Air Line divisions several hours behind time. The washout at Natick, Mass, was a bad one. The limited express from Boston Sunday started at 6 p. m. and was delayed at Natick for hours while the job of trans porting ten carloads of people around the wreck was being done.
 The damage by the food at Jewett City is estimated at about s15O,O0O. It is believed that the loss to business firms, railroad con- panies, mill-owners, towns and individuals in Norwich and vicinity will aggregate a quarter of million dollars. If the break in the Greenville dam is great as reported it will throw from 5000 to 5000 people out of employment. At Jewett City 700 people are rendered idle.
 At Rockville everybody turned out to see the Niagara Falls" at Snipsic lake. There were 20 inches of water pouring over the 20 foot dam.
 The ice in the Connecticut river broke yesterday, and at Hartford Chapin's dock was damaged and a number of oil barrels were set afioat. The river shows an IS foot rise.

A FERMENTATION.
Father Mnlcahy Receives A Handsom, Testimonial From Ills Former Par


 Testimonial From Ills Former Par- 1shioners.
 Father Mulcahy of Waterbury, formerly pastor of the Sacred Heart church. came to this city yesterday in response to an invita- society of the parish, and last evening was entertained by the society in the hali in the rear of the church. There was large outpouring of the parishiners and much enthusiasm was displayed by all pres ent as the beloved pastor entered the hall. Mir. L. Curtis, president of the society, welcomed Father Muleahy and the audi ence present in fitting words, and in hand some terms alluded to the esteem already en- tor, after which 8 grand welcome chorus was rendered by the choir who were present in full force. The president then called on MT. Thomas Callahan, who rea1 set of resolu- tions which were handsomely engrossed and enclosed in a massive bronze frame, express sive of the feelings of the parish toward Father Mulcahy for the great work which he had ac- SonpAlsAoo ouIiuS A1S pthSloIdeo. IioflouS to reading the resolutions Mir. Callahan made an interesting address, and several selections were rendered by the choir. Remarks were also made by Father McKeown, Father Gibbons, ex-Alderman Kennedy, Road Commissioner Sullivan, Road Commissioner Stackpole and others. The president was then re- quested to make an address, which was the event of the evening, as it conveyed to Rev. Father Mulcahy handsome hand made harness and buggy made to order by one of the leading firms of the city, which was a great surprise to the recipient and was received by him with deep sense of appreciation. A banquet then followed served by Thalheimer, and dancing ensued which was kept up by the young folks to an early hour this morning. It was 8 very pleasant affair and much credit is due to the president and members of the St. Vincent de Paul society, well as to the parish at large, for this pleasant recognition of the great services rendered by Father Null cahy during his administration of the af- fairs of the Sacred Heart church.

The Jau,s Ankle Broken.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Every seat in Central Music Hall was occupied tonight and fully two thousand people were standing about the theater to witness the catch catch can wrestling contest between Evan Lewis, the Madison wonder, and Matsada Sorakichi, the the Jap. In the first bout the Jap went to the floor with Lewis sprawling all over him. The burly backwoodsman sat down on the Jap, took Sorakichi's left foot and twisted it back until he had his opponent helpless. Then coolly wrapping both hands around the Jap's foot he deliberately broke his ankle, snapping it off like dry faggot. The Jap then threw up his hands and permitted Lewis to roll him over on his back. Harry Palmer, who had been chosen referee. an nounced that the Jap not being ready to con tinue the contest he would give the match to Lewis. The audience manifested it's utter disapprobation of the unexpected announce ment by series of lusty groans, hoots and catcalls.

 Bismarck Surrenders To The Vatican.
 BERLIN, Feb. 15.-There is great excite ment in Berlin over apparently we'll anthem ticated reports that Prince Bismarck is pre- pairing to yield entirely to the Vatican in the religious dispute which has been waged by Prussia against the Papacy for the past fifteen years. A bill has been deposited by the government with the upper house of Landtag, revoking, with few trivial excep- tions, all the features of the May laws, which have been so odious to the Catholics.
 LONDON, Feb. 16.-The Times Rome dispatch says the Vatican has not yet decided upon the course it will pursue in regard to Prince Bismarcks project of Prussian ecclesiastical law, but it is likely to accept it. The new archbishop of Posen has abandoned his proposed jour ney to Rome in compliance with general desire among the clergy and laity of his see that he assume his office immediately.

A Brilliant Affair In Bridgeport.
 The first grand concert and reception by Park City council No. 16, Knights of Colum bus, given at Recreation Hall, Bridgeport, was brilliant and highly successful affair. Music was furnished by Wheeler & Wilson's band and orchestra of forty pieces. The grand march was led by Grand Knight John A. Hurley and wife, and was very neatly done, the two hundred couples participating being led through complicated series of ev- olutions forming the letters K. of C., and all being done without the slightest confusion or disorder. The pretty figures reflected much credit upon Mr. Hurley and his wife. There were many visitors present from this cityHart ford, Waterbury, Ansonia and other parts of the State. Supreme Secretary Daniel Col well, of this city, and Supreme Treasurer Downs, of Meriden, were among those who enjoyed themselves on the floor. Others present from this city were Grand Knight Conroy of Santa Maria council, Messrs. John F. McHugh, Edward Downes, Spencer, Me Ginnis, Lawrence and George Geary. A very pleasant time was reported by those who attended from this city, and it is certain that Park City's first annual was an unquali- fled success.

Gladstone's critics are suggesting that he ought to put the American socialist in his cabinet since he has apparently swallowed his doctrines. The sheer. however, is un- just as applying especially to Mir. Gladstone. He is no more of land reformer than most other British statesmen of to-day. The fact is the wi ole nation has become imbued with the idea and some of the most extensive holders of English estates are discussing the question how soon the government will be making bid for their lands and at what price they will sell. All this would have been impossible ten years ago and only shows how fast history is made nowadays. As to home rule it is impossi- sible as yet to tell what Mir. Gladstone has to propose. He is silent as oyster and it is doubtful if he opens his mouth before the reassemb bling of Parliament on Thursday. It is conceded that he will offer as little in that line as he thinks he can and yet retain Par nel's support, however lukewarm the latter may be-
