FIRE LADDIES DANCE.

A Large Company of People Attend the
 Fireman'S Ball.
 The 12 hacks chartered by the Water bury Fire Department to accommodate patrons off ts 16 annual concert and ball at City Hall were kept busy last evening de- posting precious loads of humanity at the big stone steps. The District and Police Court rooms served as cloak rooms and the various committies were attentive to all the patrons The hall was tastefully de- corated with flags and emblems Of course the attraction was the Germania Band of Boston and before the concert commenced the galleries were crowded with people and all the available seats under the galleries filled. Many people were compelled to stand The musicians were grouped about the stage some , of them almost opened by the potted plants. The programme contained nine numbers, including two solos, one by Dr R. Shue- bruck on the cornet, and one by MT States on the clarionet. It was undoubtedly the finest orchestral concert heard in the city and the frequency of the applause showed that the audience appreciated it. It was 1O.o'clock when the grand march of 167 couples formed, led by Chief Engineer s. c. Snagg and Mrs. Snagg. The spectators in the gallery fingered long after mid night so fascinated were they with the beautiful music of the orchestra. Prof Prutting of Hartford gave excellent satis- faction as prompter. The sixteenth an- nual was in every way a success.

THE BRONSON LIBRARY.

The Classification and Shelving of Books Practically Completed.
 The classification and shelving of the 40, 900 volumes in the Bronson Library is practically completed, and Librarian Homer F. Bassett announces that the en- tire circulating department of the library is now open to the public. There are 8 few hundred books that have not yet been shelved and numbered, but they are 8 class of works that are seldom if ever called for. This work dates back as far as 1883, when it will be remembered that the library was closed for some time, princi- pally to make changes and improvements in the building. While this work was ge- ing on attention was then being especially directed to the works of fiction. Since then the work has progressed steadily. The most important feature of this work is the classification and shelving of the books which has been systematical- ly carried on in every department, and with little inconvenience to the public, only one class of books having been kept out of circulation at one time. The re- arrangement and reshelving began about two years ago, and has been conducted under the supervision of Librarian Bassett, who has had an able assistant in Miss Helen Sperry, for some time assistant librarian. No one can realize the amount of labor re- quired to put into operation the plan laid out by MT Bassett two years ago. It ne- cessitated close application and was 8 dry methodical piece of work, the compile tion of which must be highly gratifying to MT Bassett and encouraging to his assis- tants, who reap the benefit of the plan.
 It is now proposed to issue a new and complete catalogue and one that is as concise and brief as possible, no one of the 4O,O0O books to be represented by more than seven characters. MT Dewey's classification has been adopted. It divides the library into 1, 1000 classes. The shelf numbering is MT Bassett's scheme evolved from the very best plans in use and embodying some new ideas introduced by MT Bassett himself, combining to make an absolutely perfect expansive system which will not need to be rearranged if the library should be in creased to ten times it's present size. By this system the first three numbers indi- cate the class and the country. The first number stands for an initial letter, and in dicates whether it is history, travel, soci
 ology, and the other two the country. The figures at the right of the decimal point indicate the initial letter of the authors name. The advantage of the numbering is in the decimal point, which contains the key to the admirable expan- sive system originating with MT Bassett.

 Chicago has signed regular giant for the Western league team in Schenck, form erly of the Pittsburg Unions. He is feet 5 inches in height and weighs 257 pounds.
 The Telegram claims that the ste gs rding the transfer of the Metropolitan ball club to Hartford, is true, and that the matter will be brought up at the Ame'j" v Association meeting in Cincinnati Mon day.
 Tommy Burns of the Chicago Club, who has been on the Pacific slope this winter with the Chicago combination, has re- turned to his home in New Britain. He says that in his opinion both Clarkson and Pfeffer will be with the Chicagos again next season.
 The New Ravens claim to be the best all-round team in the country Manager Richardson will match his team against the ''best all-round team" for from $1OO to
 
 games up The New Bedfords will do the same, likewise Boston, likewise Salem. Now let the ''all-round" team speak up.- Boston Herald.
 Manager Sands is still in MassachI and there is a rumor abroad that grand deal may be effected between Pawtucket, New Bedford, Hartford and Meriden, whereby the two former teams will be ex- changed for the two latter, New Bedford $ team playing in Meriden, and Pawtuckets in Hartford Any change will be accepta- ble after the showing of Thursday night in Waterbury.-Meriden Republican.
 Says the Post: A sensational story about the transfer of the Nets to Hartford is denied by one of the directors of the Amusement Association, who says en- phatically that there have been no negotia- tions pro or con relative to such deal. Hartford is a dead base ball town and even if the Detroits were transferred there the patronage for the first month would be so abominable that the managers would be inclined to sell the grounds for cemetery purposes.
 The Waterburys had their usual luck at New Haven last night, and dropped an other game to the leaders by the score of 6 to 3. In the early part of the game the Wate-burys gained big lead, winning four of the first five goals With less than six minutes playing time left the score stood 4 to 3 against the New Ravens. Referee Perkins, seeing the necessity of immediate action, called foul on Gun nigham for making an alleged false start, and Waterbury forfeited goal, two other fouls having been called earlier in the game. After this the visiting team seemed to go to pieces and the New Ravens suc- ceeded in caging the ball three times within period of five minutes, winning a game that rightfully belonged to the Waterburys. Babbitt and Hill did great work

As to the number of pickerel they brought home separate interviews with them elicit startling discrepancy Adams places the number at 50 and his acquaintances are mazed at the apparent approximation to the truth. There is a legend of Adams once having had an ad- venture with rattle snake, and his trip to Bantam lake has revived the story and his intimate friends are urging him to write a

 A. H. Darlington, seated in an Albany sleigh and holding the ribbons over one of Lilley, Swift & Co.'S horses, came up South Main street at noon to-day at moderate speed. When turning out to avoid team at s'covill street the runner caught the T rail and the sleigh toppled over, spilling MT Darlington out in the snow. The acci. dent gave the horse momentum and he broke into 8 run. Darlington held the lines pluckily and was dragged as far as Kelly's bakery before he released his grip. By that time the animal was making good time up South Main, dodging in and out to avoid the numerous vehicles. He shot across Exchange place like rocket and pointed his nose for Harrison alley, but then he changed his mind and took the sidewalk at Hodson's saloon. Bauby Brothers peanut and fruit stand was in the track of the runaway, and when the sleigh collided with it the stand being the Trailer of the two gave way, and peanuts, oranges and bananas were scat tered in every direction.
