RIVERSIDE STREET CROSSING.
The Matter Comes up Again Before the
 City Fathers.

The Matter Comes up Again Before the
 City Fathers.
 Since Michael Guilfoile appealed from the decision of the railroad commissioners in the matter of the Riverside street eros sing it has been discovered that there was a clerical error in the order and in response to a petition of the commissioners they have decided to hold another hearing in Hartford, March 12, to make the correc- tion. This being the case MT (1uilfoile, desiring to show the railroad commission CTS that the city favored tunneling River side street under the crossing, p: esented the following to the board of councilmen last evening: @
 WHEREAS, The railroad commissioners have notified the city of Waterbury and the owners of land along South Riverside street that they will hold session in Hart ford on the twelfth day of March, 1888, for the purpose of changing or modifying their late order in regard to said road; | therefore,
 Voted, That the court of common coun- cil of said city of Waterbury request said railroad commissioners to so change their order in regard to said road, as will cause said road to pass under the track of the | New York and New England near the resi- dence of Michael Guilfoile
 The councilmen referred it to the com mittee on railroad bridges and crossings, that when it came up before the board of aldermen it struck a snag and was defeated by strict party vote. Alderman Plume, a member of the committee on railroad bridges and crossings, thought it was not wise to take such step while the appeal was pending, and Alderman Webster held that the railroad commissioners hav- ing acted in the matter, their jurisdiction ceased, and the case was now before the superior court. When the question came to vote, Messrs. Rametti, Kelly and O'Rourke voted for the resolution and Messrs. Plume, Webster, Munson and Chipman in the negitlve.

ALL ABOUT AN ARTIST,
His Simultaneous Disappearance With
 Girl Creates 8 Sensation

His Simultaneous Disappearance With a
 Girl Creates Sensation
 The almost simultaneous disappearance from the city of J. A. Burgess, a crayon artist who boarded at the Franklin house, and 13-year-old miss, a daughter of a Mrs. Burns, a domestic in a prominent family in this city, has given rise to the belief that they eloped together and are at present in New York It is known that Burgess is in New York, and letters have been received from him written on Grand Union letter head as late as last night
 Mr. Burgess left his hotel last Friday. saying that he was going to New York to do some work for parties there. His mail, !, by his orders, has been forwarded to him in that place. Miss Burns, who was em- ployed in the family of A. E. Rice on Grand street, left town the previous even ing, and has not been seen since. There is an air of mystery about the affair, and, owing to the secrecy of the parties con cerned, little could be learned to-day, ex- cept the unreliable stories of the gossip mongers.
 Officer Dodds, who does the detective work for the police force, left the city Monday, and it was said that he went in search of the missing couple and that he had warrant for Bur gess' arrest. He has not yet returned and the police will not talk abo1t his absence, but it is believed that he is watching Burgess and trying to find the girl, who some people claim is in Mas sachusetts and that Burgess is ignorant of the sensation his absence is causing

THE MERIDENS SHORN.
The Local Team Follows up her Victory
 Saturday Night.

Saturday Night.
 The Meridens came over here last night after wool, but they went home shorn. The game in Meriden Saturday, in which they were beaten, made them very fierce but the Waterburys were equal to the oc- casion and easly downed them. The regu- lar referee did not show up so Will Arm strong was placed in that position. He is not up to the popular notion of what a referee should be, but he acquitted himself very creditably. The game opened by Meriden securing two goals, and everybody thought that the home team would be de- feated, but they arose to the emergency and captured the next three goals. The Meridens then had their innings again and got three more goals, but this effort beat them, for they got no more until the Wa terburys were so far ahead that they were of no use to them. The feature of the game was the goal secured for Waterbury by Williams, who caged it from the rush in four seconds. This gives him the record for the shortest time in which a goal has ever been caged in the local rink. In the third inning Cunningham made an insult ing remark to the referee, and he caught a fine of $5. Lampkin and Hanaford did the best work for Meriden, Lampkin es- pecially. For Waterbury, Shea and Con- way excelled; Babbitt also played fine game. There were about 700 people pres cit. The score:
