Thomas Lyons Run Over Near Holmes,
 Booth & Haydens'
 As Conductor Beers 1117 train was ap- preaching the bridge near Holmes, Booth & Haydens' factory this morning Engineer Downes noticed a man lying on the track and immediately reversed the lever, but too late to prevent the engine. tender and first truck from running over the body. The mangled remains of what YVES once a man lay between the forward and rear trucks of the baggage car. The legs were cut off at the knees and the body was bad ly mutilated at the trunk, presenting a sickening sight to the passengers and train men who alighted to ascertain the trouble. There were no signs of life in the body when it was borne into the baggage room of the Naugatuck station. The unfortu- nate man proved to be Thomas Lyons, an old employee of the road, who resided at No Riverside street. He left the employ of the company about six months ago. He buried his wife last summer This morn ing he told his neighbors that he had sold his place and was going to New York. They vouch for his being sober. He bought ticket but was late for the 10:50 train south, and was seen by the baggage master walking down the track. The baggage master said he did not think Lyons was drunk, but could not say that he had not been drinking. This is the first fatality on the road for over three months.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle viewed the re- mains and will report an accidental death to Coroner Mix. Two brothers of the de- ceased arrived from Thomaston and made arrangements with Undertaken Moriarty to have the funeral take place Thursday morning.

PRINTERS WAGES IN WATERBURY.
Only Two Printing Offices Paying the

 Only Two Printing Offices Paying the
 Union Scale. A Union printer in good standing em ployed in Bank street establishment re- gently went to New Britain to organize a Typographical Union in that city, but it is understood met with no success. He has by his action, however, subjected himself to considerable criticism from the craft, it being held by his brethren in the union that it would have looked better if MT Wheeler had started 8 similar movement in this city. There are not many first-class journeymen printers in New Britain, and the injury that MT Wheeler would have done to the trade can only be appreciated by those who know the good and poor workmen. It is said and affirmed by those who know that number working at the trade there have never served time, and the printers there are characterized as ''blacksmiths. In the light of this condi- tlon of affairs it is strange that so fair man as Mr Wheeler should attempt to or ganize union there, and gather into the fraternity lot of incompetent workmen. The very opposite is true of this city. There are in Waterbury between 40 and 50 printers, including the female newspaper l compositors. So far as is known all of them are eligible to membership in the
 
 are now already members of the union. 1 The journeymen are first-class workmen and some of them are in favor of organiz- ing union here. There are only two es tablishments- in the city, those of c. & M. T. Maloney, publishers of the DEMOCRAT, and Malone & Cooley, that pay the union scale. In these places no jobber works for less than S15 week, and journeyman who is worth more gets it. The price paid for composition on the EVENING DEMOCRAT is B cents per 1000 ems, which is the un- ion scale for day work on every union newspaper in the State. The price paid for composition on m orning paper is 40 35 cents to the male compost tors and less to the girls. At one time they worked for 25 cents, but the generous pro- prietor of that paper, the friend of the laborer, when the girls complained that their wages were not enough for night work. unloosed his purse strings and added 10 mills to every 1000 ems. It made less than 50 cents difference in their wages at the end of the week. The male compositors on the Waterbury American (day work) get 30 cents per 1000 ems and the girls who work beside the men get smaller sum for doing the same work. At Hitch cocks paper box factory printers get from S9, to $12 week. The Waterbury Print ing Company pay journeymen printers from SIP to S15, These facts are presented not to parade before the public the fair ness of those employers paying union prices, but apropos of the agitation in New Brit ain and the participation of a Waterbury union printer in the affairs of the craft in that city

MARRIED HER DEAF MUTE LOVER
The Result of Advertisement in a
 Matrimonial Journal,

J he Result of an Advertisement in a
 Matrimonial Journal.
 William H. Kelley, young man belong ing in Birmingham, and who works in the Winchester Arms factory in New Haven was attacked with scarlet fever when a baby, which left him deaf and dumb. De- prived of the companionship of the young, he felt the isolation keenly. Some months ago he inserted an advertisement in a matrimonial journal, and among the an- swers he received was one from Pittsburg signed Lou Kennard A correspondence followed, and on Kelley's part it grew into expressions of passionate love. Miss Ken nard apparently reciprocated his affections and sent her picture to her unknown lover Her parents learned of the correspondence and sent her to an inland town in Penn sylvania, with instructions to stop writing to Kelley. She obeyed, but Kelley kept writing to the old address. Receiving no reply to his letters, he telegraphed to her certain date he should go to Pittsburg. The dispatch fell into the hands of the younger brother of Miss Kennard, and he sent Kelley her address. Kelley went to the place and found her. It was their first meeting, and notwithstanding the young man was deaf and dumb, her love for him was so strong that she eloped with him, and together they went to New York On Wednesday MT G. w. Hall arrived in New Haven, and he inquired for Kelley. As certaining that he was in Ansonia, Hall went there Thursday and found Kelley and Miss Kennard. He was surprised when told that the young couple had been married by the rector of St Ann's Church, New York, on Wednesday. Mrs Kelley said that Hall was suitor for her hand, but that she wO111d po hauo iod he was twice as old as she. Hall returned home, and efforts are being made to con- ciliate the young brides parents. Mrs Kelley is about 17 years of age, small in stature, and very pretty blonde. Kelley is about 21, is of good character, and is earning good living at his trade of ma chinist.
