THE TURNER'S, MAsoUERADE.
An Excellent Concert, Fine Exhibition
 and Brilliant Bal Masque.

and a Brilliant Bal Masque.
 The Waterbury Turn Verein last night demonstrated their ability to manage ball and present with it features that inter- est everybody The dancers, the lovers of good music and the spectators who wearied even at these diversions were given some thing for their money, all of which rebounds to the credit of the manage.lent. The concert and ball at City Hall last night was the sixth annual, and while there was nec essarily considerable of reproduction of former similar occasions the many new features introduced combined to make it as successful as any given by the society. Prominent among these features was the tableau preceding the grand march. The concert by the Wheeler & Wilson orchestra was of that excellent character for which the Park City musicians are noted, and the fancy exhibition drill by the Turner's surpassed anything of the kind seen il this city. The grand march was led by the floor committee, the Prince and Princes carnival, repre- sented by Theodore Meyer and Miss Annie Hahan, following at the head of the serpen- tine procession of humanity disguised in every costume conceivable. There were g dances and the festivities did not close until this morning. The committees who had charge of the affair were:
 Floor manager-Charles Friedel, assisted by L Odel, William Bigelow, M. w. Hahn, J: Pole, A. A. Hartmann, Charles Zoehnle, G. Blanchard, J. Hahn, H. Hubbers, H. King, w. H. Precht, B.

"Held by the Enemy"

The presentation last night at the Opera House of this war drama was witnessed by large audience and Company A, fo1 whose benefit it was given realized a good sum- It was an audience that was in full sympathy with the play and few people left their seats during the performance SC impatient were they to see the next act: The piece abounds in nice situations and enough comedy is introduced to keep the audience good natured. Sheridan s. Blake's interpretation of the character of Col Prescott was good and that of Lieut. Hayne, the confederate spy, by John Marshall ex- cellent. Mary Mills and Minnie Du Pree personated two southern girls with credit and J. J. Farrell as special for Leslies was favorite with the audience. The scenic effects were fair and the support good.

and Festive Item.
 Abijah Welton of Plymouth, was in town short time the other day, and found time to tell the Traveller that he had seven fox hides at home as the result of the win ter's hunting. MT Welton has the reputa- ton of being a mighty hunter, and never tires of relating the incident of his cut ting off the fish pole of Waterbury man some years ago, with bullet from his rifle, while the fellow persisted in fishing in his pond in spite of his remonstrance. The crack shot is-explained by MT Welton by saying that he and friend used to cut the ten spots out of playing card, each talk ing his alternate shot.

 Two Connecticut boys have run away from home in the past week to kill In dians. This is according to the books, and Is eminently proper, without doubt. But these boys have made very sensible de- parture from the stereotyped style of kill ing Indians Besides arming themselves with revolvers they have vastly strength ened themselves in another and an entire ly unexpected direction They have pro- vided themselves with harnonicas. This does the business. No we'll regulated h. dian can withstand harmonica played by Connecticut boy who is fully supplied with wind.
 How little we know of what is in store for us, can be seen by this simple incident that is told of Martin Phinney, the Nauga- tuck wife murderer, now doing life sen tence. Some time ago an amateur drama tic club in that town played Michael Earle, the Maniac Lover," Phinney taking the leading part of the lover who, attempts to kill his sweetheart. "Phinney, you would make irst-class wife murderer, ' said friend on meeting him next morn ing. 'Well now, you just bet I would, " said he, laughing, little dreaming that he was soon to figure in that capacity.

 Out in Scranton, Penn., the electric lights are demoralizing the roosters in the city. When the lights are turned on the cocks think that another day has dawned and herald its approach in their usual so- prano register. Something must be done the lights must be extinguished or each coop must be furnished with Waterbury watch. Already the roosters are showing signs of overwork.

ro-DAY,s LUNAR ECLIPSE.
The Silver Moon to be Obscured for an
 Hour and Half.

Hour and Half.
 Indications now point to a clear evening and good view of the total eclipse of the moon this evening. The eclipses of the moon are quite frequent and have been so thoroughly studied that they. are almost en- tirely without value to the astronomer. At present there are no important questions in astronomy that can be solved by observ ing the total eclipse of the moon, hence no regular scientific observations will be made of the eclipse. The eclipse to-day, however. is of considerable public interest, as the conditions surrounding it are partic- ularly favorable to the people of this sec ton of the country It is not visible west of the 1O5th meridian. The eclipse begins at 4:3O o'clock in the afternoon, when the moon enters the earths shadow. The moon does not rise until 4:55 D. m. so that 1t rises partially covered by the shadow. Should the atmosphere be heavy in the east the eclipse may not be seen until the 1 horizon.
 1 The total eclipse commences at J:31 p. m. and ends at 7:O9. The moon leaves the shadow at S:1O and clears the penumbra at 9:12 A feature of the eclipse that is ot special interest is the fact that the outline of the moon is visible throughout the en- tire eclipse, owing to the light which is re- l fracted around the earth so that it falls up on the moon, which is thus made to pre- sent dull red appearance even when | totally shut off from the direct rays of the 1 sun.
 Another total eclipse of the moon will be visible in this section at midnight on July 22-23 Three eclipses of the sun will occur this year, but all of them are visible only to the southern parts of South America, Africa and Australia. The eclipses of the sun are of much more astronomical value | than those of the moon.
