Give me, please, Shoninger's Music store. Say Central wont you please transs 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 fine Weber Upright just like the one they sold Miss c, a neigh Dor of mine. It is just elegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central, tell them l shall expect & hne stool and scarf, as a gift, one of the inducements they make for the holidays. Shoninger's is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor prefer to buy of reliable house one that I know will be here right along and always makes every promise good.
 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 at 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 no 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. Extra induce ments for the holidays.
 Please examine opr stock.

The Sun Will Cease to Shine.

One of the features of New Years day will be the total eclipse of the sun. The moon will cross the sun, completely di- minishing the sunlight, and though the totality, which will be visible only in the extreme west, will not last much longer than two minutes, astronomers hope to obtain many important data from the eclipse. California is the state which will afford the only practical field for proper observation of the eclipse. The beginning of the total eclipse will be marked by small black notch made in the luminous disc of the sun on the western side by the advancing edge of the limb Of the moon. Before the moon has advanced so as to cover the suns disc an hour must elapse. What will be first noticed will be the change taking place in the surrounding atmosphere, a ruddy glow being apparent. Up to the time the sun disappears the color will become more and more lurid and at the moment of total eclipse the moon will seem to hang insulated in the heavens surrounded by the suns corona. The eclipse will be only partial in the eastern states.

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
Peter Kelly Shot in the Neck While
 Eating Breakfast.

Peter Kelly Shot in the Neck While
 Eating Breakfast.
 Michael Murphy, single man about A years of age, was arrested in Thomas Smiths house on Chatfield avenue, this morning by Officers Dodds and Cahey, charged with shooting Liveryman Peter Kelly Saturday morning. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery. Kelly and Murphy both took their meals in the boarding house of Mrs James Monohan, 1SO Bank street. Kelly says that Satur- day morning while he was at breakfast Murphy came in and began to abuse him for an alleged wrong claiming that he (Kelly) had been instrumental in prevent ing his obtaining employment. Murphy ended his tirade of abuse by striking Kelly as he supposed with some instru- ment upon the back of the neck.
 After breakfast MT Kelly went to his stable and telephoned to the police station saying that there was a crazy man on Bank street. He made no complaint against his assailant and the police knew nothing of the affair until evening when Dr Frost was summoned to attend Kelly and found him suffering from bullet wound in the neck. The ball which was of twenty-two calibre entered the back part of the neck and took a downward course through lue neSl MI ASlly . condition is not regarded as serious unless blood poisoning sets in.
 Murphy disappeared after the shoot ing. He was seen Saturday night but the police made an unsuccessful search for him. This morning the officers received word that he was on Chatfield avenue and found him as above stated. He was locked up and re fused absolutely to say anything about the matter.
 James Monohan, proprietor of the boarding house, says that he knew Mur- phy for several years. He was formerly track walker on the Naugatuck road and boarded at his house five years ago. He had been absent from Water bury for some time returning last Monday since which time he has acted strangely Saturday morn ing he invited all hands in the boarding house to go out for a drink His actions were of a man not in his right senses and no one accepted his invitation. Shortly afterwards Kelly came in for his brerkfast and while alone in the dining room was shot bp Murphy who approached him from behind Murphy then muttered something about Kelly sending a telegram to Boston anc keeping him out of a jop. He then coolly walked out upon the street and made nc effort to conceal himself or to escape.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

New Haven hasn't struck the winning gait yet but they play a very strong game and deserve a better place in the league. At Hartford Saturday night they were defeated goals to 5after a hard game, in which Perry, Hill and Connors did some very fine passing.
 John Smiths shoulder protector and the smiling countenance of Lee John were not sufficient to win the game in Meriden Saturday evening. Cunning came out of his tiff with the managers in fine playing condition and with Gun ningham played a hustling game. giving John Smith 30 chances, 28 of which he accepted. The score was ? to 1. Two fouls were called on Bridgeport and one on Meriden.
 Bridgeport leads the league on the general average with a percentage of 5S3. Meriden leads on games, now hay ing 15 victories to her credit. Hartford is now in third place, and is tied with Bridgeport with 14 victories.
 Jim Fell, of Michigan and Mart Fahey of this city, fought nine rounds to a draw in private room in the Nicollet house at Minneapolis last night.

PROBABLY A CRANK.
A Stone Street Resident Looking fo
 Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper.
 There are no new developments of importance in the local" Jack the Ripper scare. The publication of the facts in the case in Saturday DEMOCRAT brings to the mind of resident of the Abri gador little incident that he paid no attention to at the time of its occurrence. On Christmas day a strange man who was either crazy or under the influence of liquor went up Stone street. Reaching lamp post he drew large knife which he began to whet upon the rough Iron. After few minutes he moved on and nothing more was seen of him.
 A resident of this same Stone street has special account to settle with the spectre of the Abrigador and swears by the great horn spoon that if he meets him murder will be committed. Last night he says he was rudely awakened by his wife who had heard an unusual noise in the kitchen. She had been reading about Jack the Ripper and there was no sleep for the unfortunate man of the house until he had examined the apartments from cellar to garret.

The Management Unchanged.

The new board of directors of the Con solidated road met Saturday, and officers were reelected as follows: President, M. Reed; secretary, William D. Bishop, jr,; treasurer, w. L. Squire. The peti- tion to the legislatuse for an increase of capital stock was discussed informally Some time was passed in discussing methods of improving the roads equip ment. The constant increase in freight and passenger traffic makes it necessary to increase the rolling stock frequently. Ten and perhaps twelve locomotives will be built under the supervision of Superintendent Henney.

Chief Egan and officers Dodds, Thomas and M. Sullivan said the place had bad reputation. Officer Cahey also heard the house spoken of as a resort for men and women. He had seen three girls of low character go into the saloon kept by Mrs BOisvert Several neighbors said they knew of nothing wrong about the house and the proprietress herself, though an interpreter, indignantly denied the charge. The evidence was not sutfi- cient to convict and the case was nOlled.
 The case of assault against Michael Braziss, which judge Cowel refused to try last week, was heard by Judge Brad street this morning. The complainant was Maggie Stokes.
