Thrilling Experience of Several of
 waterbury's Youthful Citizens.
 Owing to misunderstanding as to the time the steamer would leave Coney Island and New York on the return trip from Saturdays excursion, many from tbis city and the towns of the lower Naugatuck valley were left and have been coming in on nearly every train since.

When they got left at Coney Island a nasty consultation was held and it was decided to make a cross country run to New York to head the boat off. After proceeding a short distance Jer O'Rourke being distanced by the others gave up the race and prevailed upon farmer to give him lift to New York. The other four by riding and walking arrived in New York just in time to be too late All hands then decided to pool their issues and Sc cure bed with what little money they had. On arriving in New York "Jer' immediately telegraphed to his father and MT O'Rourke went down on the freight train Saturday night and brought the boy home to-day. The other four in the meantime wandered about the city all day yesterday seeing the sights, and when it became dark boarded a freight train and rode upon the bumpers as far as Bridge port where they had friends who paid their fare to this city

THE RACE FOR CONGRESS.


 New Haven is Solid for Pigott-Scymour
 Elects French Delegates-Waterbur Will Choose it's Delegation To-morrow
 Night.
 The contest for the seat now held by Congressman French waXes warmer every day. The lines are being tightly drawn between the Pigott and Wilcox forces, and the district convention is likely to be n memorable one The city of New Haven stands by MT Pigott, and the convention, which was held last Saturday evening in Turn hall, elected without a dissenting voice solid Pigott delegation. The dele gates elected are Senator James Gallagher, chairman of the democratic state com mittee; Joel A. Sperry, the big provision dealer; John Clancey, the big bottling works proprietor, and Moritz Spier, the coal dealer. They are representative men in New Haven, and will present the claims of New Haven, with its big democratic majorities, in a way that will have its effect on the delegates in the district con vention. New Haven is very much in earnest this year. and with Pigott as the congressional candidate promises to roll up one of her old fashioned majoritias. Seymour elected delegates Saturday ' for Hon Carlos French They are J. H. Whiting and H. NJ. Eggleston. It is be heved that their second vote will be given to James P. Pigott.
 The primaries will be held in Meriieu this evening and warm struggle is on the olrds. The Byxbee Troup-WilcoN factior is moving heaven and earth to carry the primaries against Pigott while the latter's friends are equally energetic in his in terest. Much interest has been awakened in the Silver City, and the excitement k at fever heat. The federal of1iceholder> have thrown civil service proprieties to the winds, and are making the most glaring exhibition of otfessive partisanship. Much money is being used to down Pigott, and i, would be interesting to know who has opened the barrel. To-night's struggle vii be desperate and its outcome will bt eagerly awaited by democrats throughout the district.
 There will be meeting of the delegates to select delegates to the state convention in the police court room at 1:30 to nigh and to select delegates to the congressiona convention at the same place tomorrow evening.

Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger X Co possess ill their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors. Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbors goods, thereby proving Shon- inger's popularity, She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success.
