AN EVENTFUL LIFE.

Colonel Eugene J. Courtenay Visiting in
 Waterbury.
 Among the spectators of Company G's drill at the armory last evening was Col Eugene J. Courtenay, correspondent of the Army and Navy Journal of New York The colonel IS newspaper man of 21 years experience, and has for the last 30 years has had most romantic life.
 In 1856 he entered the Nicaragua ser vice as first lieutenant under Gen Geoicou- ria, remaining until the killing of Gen Walker in British Honduras. He then re- turned to the United States and took up the study of medicine in Boston, In 1861 he enlisted in the United States army as hospital steward, Fifth Massachusetts in- fantry, and rose from the ranks to the position of colonel and assistant adjutant general. In 1865 he became connected with the Fenian Brotherhood, and was adjutant general under Gen Sweeney and participated in the famous Fenian raid in Canada In 1866 he went to Ireland, but was not active ly engaged until 1867, when he was as he expresses it, "selling lead" in the county Kerry. In 1867 he entered the service of Mexico as assistant adj djutant-general in the staff of General Carvajol. In June 1869, in company with General Thomas Jordan, he received commission of brigadier-general commandante Cazadores d'Hatney in the service or the Cuban republlc. lie re- turned to the United States, escaping as best he could from the Spanish forces, when the insurrection was broken up. Since 1867 he has been connected with the Army and Navy Jour nal. He now occupies the position of col onel and assistant adjutant general of the National Guard, State of New York. During the Brooks-Bax- ter war of 1874 he received the com mission of brigadier- general, from Gov Baxter of Arkansas. From 1856 he was an acquaintance of the late Stephen J. Meany, and the two became warm personal friends. He is very warm in his admiration of MT Meany, whom he pronounced one of Gods noblemen
 The colonel spoke very highly of the drill last evening, and complimented Capt Wolff and Lieutenants Fitzpatrick and Halpin more than once on their success.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Germans Minstrels.

OOrman'S M1nSCToASs
 If the German show is half as good as they say, Waterbury lovers of mlnstrelsy will be satisfied with to-night's entertain ment. The Troy Times says: Gormans Spectacular Minstrels gave one of the hnest ot minstrel performances at Rands last night. The costumes and properties were new and elegant, the jokes had pristine flavor that is always charming. E. M. Hall was show by himself, as usual, and a dozen others might be as well men tioned, including the Germans. "The Golden Ball" extravaganza was highly meritorious.
 'Lost in London"
 New York Herald: The Grand Opera house threw open it's doors to the public last evening after it's summer "house cleaning" and large and appreciative audience witnessed M, Newton Beers "Lost in London" The play passed off smoothly, scoring decided hit.
 At City Hall,
 G. B. Bunnelrs Japanese Village opened very successfully at city hall this afternoon, and will give two performances every day from to and 7 to 10 p. m. during this week. The South Norwalk Evening Sen tinel devotes half column describing the wonders and closes by saying: "The en- tertainment can be summed up in few words, one that every body can see with propriety and at little expense, and one which every body ought to see." The en- tertainment is changed daily and no one should miss this opportunity of seeing the Japanese in their native arts.

THAT GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
Some of tho Claims Put Forward
 Waterbury.

Waterbury.
 Here is on abstract from petition for public building in this city: The city of Waterbury is one of the most thriving and growing cities of New England. It is rapidly increasing in population and business. In 1850 the census showed the population was 5,137. In 1870 it had in
 creased to 13,1A8. In 1880 it was 20, ,269. It now exceeds 30,OOO, as shown by the number of names on it's directory and the enumeration of school children under the laws of the state. About fifty years ago the manufacture of brass was first estab- lished in this country at Waterbury. It now manufactures one-half, or more, of the immense amount of that article that is made in this country. The arti- sans and employees in it's factories are thrifty and intelligent, and a very large proportion of them own their own homes. Waterbury is the chief inland city in west
 ern Connecticut, and is the fourth city in the state in population. It has been grow ing more rapidly since 1880 in population and business than at any previous time in it's history, and there is every prospect that | ii will increase still faster in the future. It's post office accommodations are utterly insufficient for the wants of the people and l the interests of the service. It is impOssi- ble to get sufficient accommodations for 1 the present needs of the office in the present scarcity of rents The office is now rented in building 30 hy B feet, and with narrow Hobbies and passways there is not room enough left for the proper man. agement of the office. The rent paid for the same is $1 ,S60 annually. The gross re- ceipts of the office for the last year were $32, ,566 "A. The net revenue Of the office was 18,074.33. But it is the registry business of the office that especially de-
 mands increased accommodations. The registry business of this office is larger than that of any other city in the state. It is larger than that of Worcester, Lowell, Providence, or any other city in New England except Boston. Its rank now ill the registry business is among the thirty leading cities of the country, and it stands the sixteenth in number on the list. There are now two or three excellent sites for a government building, but in the present rapid growth of the city they may be oc- cupied for other purposes unless one of them is speedily secured. The postmaster has not room to keep the supplies he is required to keep with safety and security for the government, nor for properly doing the work for the office, and no more commodious quarters can be obtained by the government for any reasonable rent

Thomas Kennedy in Jail.

Thomas Kennedy was brought to Bridge port from New York Monday night by Officer Hunt on extradition papers. His case was continued in the city court yester- day morning until Friday, as some of the witnesses for the prosecution were not present. Kennedy says that he earned the $1, ,00O found on his person when the New York detectives arrested him. He denies that he stole cent from Mrs Mary Reid. his sister, but says that some one else must have taken it. Judge Lockwood has been retained sto defend the prisoner. Bonds tor >Ken. n.ledy's appearance were fixed at $4,OO0. sAs he could not furnish them he remains il custody.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

 Lovers Estate Allowed.

Hannah Parsons Claim Against Her
 Lovers Estate Allowed.
 The jury in the case of Hannah Parsons, of Naugatuck, vs. G. H, Clark, executor, in the superior court, to-day, after an hours deliberation, returned verdict of $2,O27 66 damages and costs for the plain tiff. The case was suit brought by Miss Parsons to recover 5000, which she claims was given to her by Geo. Cummings, to whom she was engaged to be married, be- fore he died. The executor would not al- low the claim.
 After the jury rendered their verdict, Judge Fenn read the statute, which em- powers the bench to return the jury for a second or third verdict in case he believes the evidence has been mistaken, and stated that he thought that such was the case with this verdict. He returned them for a second verdict. After about twenty minutes deliberation they again returned and the foreman announced that they re- mained firm to their amount of damages awarded the plaintiff. The court ordered the clerk to enter that amount of damages on record The jurors were then dis charged as this case concluded the cases to be tried at the April term of the superior court

MORE SAFETY AT SEA.

Occasionally meritorious bill comes ke- fore congress. Of this character is that which provides for the holding of confer ence by the maritime nations, and the repre- sentation of the United States thereat by five delegates. It is intended that the conference shall assemble on the first of next Setober, and that it shall be held in Washington, or at such other place as the President may designate.
 There is work enough, and important work, for such conference to do. One thing that could be done is to revise and amend "the rule of the road" at sea, with the view of re- moving any doubts and discrepancies now existing, and also of making it most likely to insure freedom from the perils of collision. Another object is to improve the present in ternational code of flag and night signals, and to adopt uniform system of marine signals or other means of indicating the di- rection in which vessels are moving, as well as their position, during dark nights or in fog, mist, falling snow, or thick weather. Still another subject of discussion would be the methods of saving life and property from wrecked vessels. This would bring in the
 
 and other contrivances known to the life saving service, more particularly those which can be carried aboard ship. Then, too, an important work for the conference would be that of fixing upon some system for reporting, marking and removing dan gerous wrecks or Instructions to navigation. Of late years it has been the custom of the k<1c ny7to O fo up or tow away derelicts which are near the coast and in the track of commercial travel. But, as writer in the New York Sun puts it: Far beyond domestic waters, often In mid-ocsan and repeatedly floating back and forth across the steam lanes to Europe. these wreoks are to be found. Commercial yes. sells, hurrying on their errands, cannot et hulks. The danger of leaving them is none the less apparent, since vessel striking al full speed one of these waterlogged craft might just as we'll strike 8 rock. They give none of the alarm to the ear which a danger ous reef supplies as the breakers roar over it. nor do they yield that wEning of chilliness from which the experienced mariner suspects the presence of icsbergs. No one can say how many vessels that have gone down with all on board and never have been heard from were the victims of hulks just awash and mol seen until the crash came.
 It is to be hoped that no obstacle will be put in the way of holding such conference It is strange that something of the kind has not been sooner done. Anything that tends to increase the safety of travel at sea deserves hearty encouragement.

quantity that the test glass is two thirds full; the two fluids are then shaken together for about five seconds, the change in color being at once noticed. Treated in this solution eostonseed oil becomes d ark brown or almost black, but after short time the solution be- comes colorless and clear. Pure olive oil has greenish or light yellow tinge, while the solution under the layer of oil assumes dark red or brown color. Mixed with fifty per cent. of cottonseed oil the olive oil assumes in this process a brick red to brownish red tinge, and mixture of twenty-fiv per cent. makes orange yellow to red yellow.
 It is hard to circumvent an enterprising citizen of the United States in any land. It is related that the only machine mill in Morocco belongs to citizsn of this country named Crabb. Its erection was utterly il- legal. The prejudice against machinery among the Moors is as strong as it used to be among English hand-loom wesvers. MT. Cobbs application for the authorization of his mill was rejected. The prime minister would not hear of it, the Sultan absolutely forbade the new fangled method of grinding corn. MT. Cobb, however, went fright ahead.' He built his mill; he put in his machinery. Only one finishing touch was necessary. The grinding stones were duly delivered at the wharf. But this gave the authorities their opportunity. and they calm ly impounded them. It was useless going to the Moorish government, so MT. Cobb applied to the United States representative. He got formal reply, informing him that since the prime minister and the Sultan had both for bidden the execution of the project it would be idle for him to expect any assistance from the formal representative of the United States. The letter was all that Captain Cobb needed. He took it to the local authorities, who had his grinding stones in charge and asked them if they could read English. ''Nol' ''Then read this," cried Captain Cobb. There were the arms of the United States; there was an undoubted official sigma ture, and Captain Cobb said hs was going Straight ahead" with his mill. Nobody knew what complication might ensue if this determined American were disappointed. The stones were given up, the mill was finished and the next time the Sultan came that way he sent all his corn to be ground by ma- chinery.
