X Bristol Shooter on Trial,

The trial of John Kearn of Bristol, charged with assaulting Sheriff Butler with intent to kill, is gong on before the superior court at Hartford. Kearn, in going to his home from work on the night of the 21st of last August, met A. B. Catlin, who asked him how he was
 Instead of replying he opened fire on Catlin, using a big revolver, 3S calibre. He went to his house and stationed him. self behind the door. Deputy Sheriff Butler, who was driving over to Forest vile, heard of the affair and went to ar rest him. As the officer walked up the walk towards the house. Kearn opened fire on him, wounding him severely in the ankle. The deputy sheriff then re- turned to Bristol center and sent down another officer and a posse, who made the arrest. The defence are evidently trying to prove that Kearn is insane.

How We Do It.

That's not our stylo," said an old merchant on Saturday, "Hirsh how do you expect to compete with the many mark down and reduction sales if you advertise that you are selling clothing at the old prices? Why not also sell it with mark down." Because that's our style," we answered. ''The public soon 'tumbles' to the mark down advertise mentS."
 We are doing the liveliest business in Waterbury because prices are now, al- ways have been since our opening, and always will be from 30 to 40 per cent lower than they are at mark down stores" Hirsh's is always the best place to buy clothing for either men, boy or child. We guarantee satisfaction CT money refunded.

Halloo Central.

Give me, please, Shoninger's Music store. Say Central, wont you please trans init the message to them-they are such a reliable house it is really not even neces- sary to examine their Pianos-that I want them to send me a fine Weber Upright just like the one they sold Miss c, neigh Dor of mine. It is just .elegant, both in style finish and tone-Gnd say, Central, tell them l shall expect hne stool and scarf, as gift, one of the Inducements they make for the holidays. Shoningers is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor! I prefer to buy of reliable house one that 1 know will be here right along and always makes every promise gooi.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but We assure you business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them ct every cross road in season and more often out of season, until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pOcketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying to sell you. We have nc state agents, no county agents or town agents, because We combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits.

swan a River With His Bride.

On Tuesday young Litcbfield couple on their way to the parsons to be mar ried were confronted by torrent so deep and swift that their horse could not be induced to attempt the passage. But the hardy, long legged groom was not to be daunted or turned from his pur- pose. Leaving his team in charge of his friends he took his blushing bride elect on his broad back and half wading and half swimming reached the other side in safety when the happy pair hand in hand continued their journey as though nothing unusual had occurred.

WE WANT A JAIL.
Another Argument In Favor of a
 New Counfv.

Another Argument In Favor of a
 New County.
 'sYou must have some pretty tough boys in Waterbury," said an official of the Hotel de Gates at New Haven to a representative of the DEMOCRAT the oth- CT day.
 The scribe reluctantly admitted that of the Sunday school variety and that a few of them might even be classed as toughs. Upon inquiry it was learned that outside New Haven Waterbury had the largest representation of any town doing business with the New Haven county jail. And at the rate we are sending them down New Haven will have to look sharp to her laurels.
 There are two reasons given why Wa terbury rules the roost at New Haven. In the first place, although many are inclined to speak disparagingly of our police, the force is one of the most eff cient in the state. We have seen proof of this many times. The excellent work of the officers in hunting down the gangs of small fry burglars who operate occasionally is especially to be commend ed and their watchfulness is the key to the reason why Waterbury is so largely represented at New Haven.
 1t is very rare for prisoner to be re- leased by Chief Egan or for case to be settled in any way out of court. In New Haven if plain drunk is brought in at night, unless he is an old rounder, he is given his liberty in the morning before court hour. In this city if man is brought in drunk he generally appears before the court, and if it is a second of fense or he is at all fresh or sassy" down he goes. Most of the prisoners sent to jail from this city are the victims of drink
 Some of the lads after spending a term in jail seem to like it, for no sooner are they out than they are again in the clutches of the law. Of every five pris- oners brought before the court it is safe to say that three of them knowthe direct route to Whalley avenue, New Haven. Some of them bid their companions good-by at the station, while others less | hardened hang their heads and try to avoid publicity. One of the burglars who was sent down Saturday was fearful that he would not be properly supplied with literature, and his last words to a chum who saw him off were to be sure and send him de Perlice Gerzette" ev- cry week. Others ask their friends tC send them tobacco. Some of the old rounders complain of sickness and try tc obtain whisky, but once inside the bars and except in extreme cases their supply of whisky is cut off.

AMITSENIENTS.

Christmas afternoon and evening Manager Jacques gives us the first time Redmund Barry in the new play Her mimic" A good play to enjoy after a Christmas dinner. The New York World of September Is said of the com pany: At the Windsor theatre a mili- tary drama called "Herminie; or, the Cross of Gold" was produced last night. William Redmund and Mrs Thomas Barry appeared in the leading roles and gave complete satisfaction. The story of the play deals with the Franco-Pru sian war and is full of interest The in troduction of a stereopticon to tell the story that the action of the play leaves untold was novelty greatly appreciated. ''Herminie" certainly made a hit and its engagement at the Windsor will be profitable.

 About fifty citizens assembled in City hall last evening and attended the short est town meeting on record, being only eight minutes in session.

Laughed In the Face of Death

The fast express train which arrived in New Haven at 9:30 yesterday evening struck a horse and carriage near Will Hams Bridge. The horse was torn limb to limb and carried about 200 feet. The carriage was broken in splinters. The man in charge of the team had narrow escape. He was thrown into ditch and the train hands supposed he was killed. The train was stopped and when two men reached the prostrate man with a stretcher he arose and walked off, eX- claiming: I'm pretty live corpse yet"

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffOcatlon
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisO nous, putrid mat
ter defiles the breath and rots away the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to
feel that the system does not. through its
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjOyments.
To purchase immunity from such fate should
be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de-
spair of relief or cure.
