OBITUARY.
THOMAS J. JACKSON.


 Thomas J. Jackson, the well-known cigar manufacturer, died at his home on Coe street at o'clock last evening, after long illness, from consumption. MT Jack son was in his 3Sth year and leaves wife and six children. He was stone cutter by trade and was employed for some time at the works of his; cousin Charles Jack son. n the winter of 1S75 he started on q visit to his brother, Timothy, we'll known sculptor of San Francisco, but hap pened to go on ntheunfortunate train which met with the terrible. .l, accident at Ashtabula, Ohio, in which P. P. Bliss and about sixty othe~s were killed or maimed for life Mir Jackson had a number of ribs broken at this time, the ends of which were driven into his lungs, lacerating them and probably sowing the seeds of the disease which took away his life. He was awarded S20,000 damages, and after re- turning to Waterbury started in the man ufacture of cigars. He prospered, but i'll health caused him to close out his business about year ago. MT Jackson was a mem Der of Sheridan council, K. of O., and was the leading spirit in the Thomas +, Meagher club. He was known by his associates as a genial companion, good hearted to a fault and the life of every meeting. His death will cause widespread sorrow among his extended circle of acquaint- ances.
 The funeral will take place at two o'clock | Sunday afternoon.

GOVERNORS DAY AT CAMP.
Great Preparations Made to Receive the
 Thousands of Visitors.

CAMP TERRYe Aug 23.-It is remarked on all sides that the Fourth regiment are performing some of the best tactics on the camp ground The firing and drilling are of the best and without exception the Fourth deserves the praise 1t receives. The other regiments will have to look to their laurels if they wish to preserve their re- putation. The Second regiment is still indifferent in its loading and firing, and although this mornings drill was much better than preceding ones, yet consider able is lacking in the military tactics. The First is making strong efforts. The Third is struggling along ill its accustomed position and seems to feel satisfied with what it has obtained. The Fifth battalion are to be congratulated for their hard and earnest endeavors to keep up the reputa- tion of the c. N. G. The gun platoons are drilling steadily and carefully and are making good progress i'll their respective drills The Second of course is our favorite regiment and we feel an interest that no other regiment creates The Second must bear in mind that it is necessary for the reputation and percentage of the regiment to be exact i'll something else besides dress parades. The regiment is not composed | of dudes who wish to be looked at but it is made of good stuff which should be brought out. People are flocking into the camp ground to-day in crowds and ev- cry train bears it's contingent of friends to the c. \. G. At 11:3O the Third regiment band escorted from the depot friends of the regiment to the number of several hun dred and great celebration will take place tonight in the Third regiments mess quar- ters. An important event took place at | 12:3O this afternoon, which raised the splr
 its of the militia boys and will materially | add to the drills this afternoon. Governor Lounsbury and staff arrived on the 12:3O train and following out his own orders was escorted to the camp ground without any great fuss or show. Not even a band was ordered to do escort duty to his eNcellency. He will view the troops this afternoon in their different maneuvers and pass the night on the camp ground. Every prepa- ration is being made for tomorrow and every active soldier is anxious and willing to exert himself to make his regiment sue cessful. Waterbury will, without doubt,
 be well represented by her contingent of
 visitors and the military boys of the Brass
 city will cause them to feel proud of hel | heroes.

THREE YOUTHFUL BURGLARS
Arrested in New Haven and Taken tc
 This City.

Arrested III Ne" ftaNcn IahSu 10
 This City.
 Three boys, all under the age of r., were before the police court this morning charg- ed with burglary of Patrick Connor's store on Stone street a short time ago. The boys were caught in a rather peculiar manner. It seems that Thursday morning the three lads purchased tickets at the New Haven depot for Waterbury. They paid for them in pennies and their actions were so suspicious that the ticket agent notified Detectives Brewer and Refill. They watch ed the boys until train time and finally concluded to lock them up as suspicious characters. In the New Haven lookup they confessed that they had robbed Connor' $ store and word was immediately sent tc this city and Officer Dodds was dispatched after them. They offered no excuse this morning except that they were drunk and did not know what they were doing. Two were fined S1 and costs for larceny and bound over for burglary. The third was sent to the Meriden reform school, he be ing under 6 years of age.
