The bulls, maddened by the roaring of the
flames, broke loose from their stalls and rushed
wildly through the surging mass of humanity,
tossing aloft and knocking over all who stood
in their way.
Among the eighteen dead were two women,
who were first gored to death by bulls and their
bodies afterward burned.

 Reunion-Cedar Mountain Anniversary
 We'll Celebrated.
 Grand Army hall was crowded last night with veterans of the Fifth Connecticut and members of Wadhams post at the camp-fr held before the reunion of the Fifth to-day. About forty of the veterans arrived last evening and were escorted to the hall where they were sent by the Waterbury delegation. When the regular order of business was through with the all hands gathered around the piano and made the hall ring with patriotic songs. General s. w. Kellogg was then intro duced and made a very interesting address, dwelling much on the valor of the hero of Winchester, whose draped portrait adorned the wall over the speakers head Colonel Warren w. Packer, of Mystic River, revived many almost forgotten incl dents of the war and was received with enthusiasm. He was followed by Colonel w. s. Cogswell of Jamaica. l.. l., Captain J. Rice and Captain H. P. Rugg. Under the direction of Captains Hamilton and Rice and Colonel Packer everything went off pleasantly and it was not until early morning thas the campfire burned low and the veterans retired.
 This morning over fifty more of the veterans arrived and were escorted to the hall, and at 9:30 all fell in and a visit was paid the watch factory. At noon the business meeting was commenced, with Colonel w. s. Cogswell in the chair. Off cers were elected for the coming year, as follows President, Captain D. B. Hamil- ton vice-president, Captain P. P. Wilson; and Captain E. E. Marvin secretary. It was agreed to have the next reunion at Wallingford.
 After the business meeting substantial spread was laid in the relief corps room by the ladies' Bolster catered and full justice was done it by the vets.

LIrCHFIELD FLAMES.
One of the Most Disastrous Fires tha l. Erar Yisited the Place.

Ever Visited the Place.
 One of the most destructive fires that has ever visited Litchfield broke out short ly before o'clock this morning, and be- fore the flames were subdued six build ings had been leveled to the g ound. The fire was caused by a lamp overturning and exploding in a tenement in Beach's block ! on West street, The inmates of the tene- ment had lively scramble to reach the open air, but all finally escaped without | injury. Tn this block Sanford X Sharp kept a hardware and tin store and the flames cleaned out the store completely. Their loss is complete, not thing being saved From Beach's block the flames leaped across to the millinery store kept by Mrs O. C. Peck, and most of her stock was de- stroyed. Smiths block, i'll which Ray mond X Bidwell kept a dry goods and gro cery establishment, was ill the track of the fire and was soon within its greedy grasp. The lurid flames lit up the sky and terri bly beautiful picture was presented as the column of fire mounted to the sky. Hun dreds of people were on the scene looking on its awful grandeur and giving what assistance they could to save stock and ad- joining property. The building belonging to w. J. Neal and the court house, which had just been completed and the blinds put on, were soon in flames and were added to the list of buildings destroyed. The fire burned in an 'easterly direction, and by ha, work Senator Seth Pratt's livery sta bles, which adjoined Beach's block on the west, were saved. The horses, many of which were boarders belonging to the sum- mer residents, had been removed when the flames fi~st broke out, and all of them were saved. Shumway's harness shop and Meal foys shoe store were also destroyed.
 The occupants of the Beach block, beside Sanford & Sharp were Granniss & Elmore, grocery MT. Karb tailoring rooms; Mir Sedgwicks office and several families. Everything is in confu sion to-day, and the loss cannot be actually determined. Estimates place it at $40 ,O0O the court house alone being worth $15 ,OOO Litchfeld has not seen so destructive $ confagration since two years ago wher the Mansion house and number of other valuable buildings were destroyed.

FORESTRY AND THE NEGRO.
The Order Must Admit ColOred Men Q
 Cut Adrift From the High Court

The Order Must Admit Colored Men or
 Cut Adrift From the High Court.
 The color line in the Ancient Order of Foresters has been un interesting topic of discussion for some ears among the mem bers of the order in America The late Attorney James l. Hayes of New Haven went to England a few years ago to argue before the high court against the admission of the negro into the order, passing the op- position of American Foresters on the ground that there is more fatality among them and that it would probably ruin the insurance system. It has just been learned that the high court. sitting at Reading, England, has carried, by vote of 403 to 93, motion revoking the powers of the subsidiary high court of America and sus- pending American courts until they com ply with the rules regarding the admission of colored persons.
 | This decision brings the order i'll Ameri- ca face to face with the interesting prob lem whether they shall admit the colored men to membership or renounce their communication with the high court.

At the station there was such large party that Superintendent Beach sent out the excursion train in sections, the first containing ten cars leaving at 7:20 and the other of fifteen cars at 7:45. It is estimated that over nine hundred people left on both of these trains.
 The parade at Bridgeport was one ot the largest ever given by the Foresters. After the ceremonies were concluded Thomas Luddy, on behalf of Court Han cock, presented James Murnane, the past chief ranger of the court, with handsome gold badge, being the arms of the court and on the reverse side the following inscription: Presented to Past Chief Ranger Murnane by Court Hancock, A. o.

THE STREET SWEEPER.
Kicking Up Clouds of Dust and Yards oi
 Profanity on Bank Street.

The street sweeper was used again last night and it seemed to be the last straw, for several of the principal merchants of Bank street appeared at the Mayors office this morning and expressed their indigna- ton in no feeble terms, and threatened an injunction if the nuisance is not stopped immediately. Hundreds of dollars of goods are destroyed every time the sweeper is used. They say they must leave their transoms open to air the store, but if notice is given of the night the sweeper is to be used they can close them for a time. Contractor Blakeslee says the pavement can be swept without a speck of dust arising and he has offered to instruct the street inspector to do it as they do in New York and other cities. He says that last evening he offered to pay Ralph Blakeslee from his own pocket to sprinkle the street before it was swept, but the latter had received no orders to- and as a consequence when the sweeper was put to work the clouds of dust rose far above the tops of the buildings.

SEATS ON THE GREEN.
An Observing Citizen Speaks Strongly
 Against Snch n Project.

Here is what citizen who has been reading the newspaper booms for seats on the Green says of the project |" We have now one of the prettiest little parks in New England. It is as clean as can be. If we put seats there the grass in front and be- hind them will be strewed with fruit peel ings, nut-shells, paper bags, cigar stumps and tobacco juice and quids. We had seats there before and they became such 8 nuisance that they were taken away. The Green was the resort of bummers and loaf CTS. Those who needed the seats could not, or would not, occupy them on account of these men. Ladies avoided the Green, preferring to go around rather than be in suited or pass in review before q crowd of roughs." MT. Adams, editor of the Naug- atuck Review, claims in the last issue of the Review to have got seats on the Nauga- | tuck green in two weeks, while the DEMO GRAF has been trying for five years Well done, MT Adams, but Naugatuck and Wa terbury are two different places-one q city and the other village.

 Charles Allerton was able to be out of the house to-day for the first time since the murderous assault made upon him two weeks ago Saturday night. His head is still bandaged, neither the long gash in the forehead or the cut at the base of the skull having healed. He complains of extreme weakness and brain trouble and his face plainly shows the siege he has gone through. He condemns severely the action of the state in allowing his assailants to get out under $500 bail He says he will push the case to it's utmost and if it Is a possible thing send all three to states prison.

FORGETFUL SPOUSE IN COURT. Judge CowelI Opens His Batteries on the FOrgivins Wife.

Another of those cases which cause the naturally smiling countenance of Judge Cowell to assume an unwonted form was called before him this morning. Mrs Mortimer Haley last evening sent for the police to arrest her husband, who was in- toxicated and chasing her aboutthe house. This morning she forgot all about it and said he was doing nothing. The judge warned her that if she told any more lies he would shut her up. Her mother testi- fled to the same effect and this angered the judge still more. Louis Schrint, who lives i'll the same house, testified that Haley chased his wife into the cellar and broke the door. Mrs Haley was recalled and after severe lecture sent home while her husband was fined So for drunken ness.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only FSTst-Class Pianos and Or gan5, Known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shonnger, Emerson < Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will l in every way give satisfaction and prove a source of joy in any family Among the things we do not do Is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighborS goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by, in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for S150 by J M Kellogg, who, when the sum was rendered him refused it on the plea that some one in the country had promised to look at it in the future. Shoninger Pianos being in such demand and his supply lim- tied, with poor chances of duplication, we sug- gest, may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the next it not. The public left to judge of
 the business integrity of such dealings. Lastly, we
 manage our own business honestly fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur niSh our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from Installment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect the same. Thirty years standing | before the people as a Company, Is sufficient
 guarantee of our stability. Those Shonnger New Style Upright Pianos are elegant ill design and finish. We make them and get the price way down. Warrant them frst-claSs. All the rest of the dealers are blowing about them which proves that they are 4 No 1, otherwise no abuse would be necessary. Remember an agent nev- CT runs down Piano to you unless it is a
