moalous nosp1tais. Tne austrian govern
ment, however, has decidcd not to in
crease the frontier force at present, but to
wait till better accommodations are Sc
cured. and the ostensible reason ior all
this misery is that thu Bulgarians have
elected ahe German Prince Ferdinand to
rule over them, and tho car will not have
it so. The Pan-Slavists insist that nuHe
but Slavs shall rula, among the Slavic
peoples.
Geu Annenkoff, who plans the rail
road construction for the Russian govern
ment, is man oa great resources and
many brilliant successes. He planned the
construction of she new railroads in
southern Russia and the great trunk line
called the Trans-Caspian Bokhara, in
Asia, which gives ready access to all that
section of Asia and could be used, as the
English do not fail to note, to throw great
masses of soldiers upon the frontiers O
India in Il shvrt time. All the Russian
railroads arc constructed ds much fo
military as commercial purposes. and th'
task of Gen. -Annenkeff is much like tha

SNOW ON THE ENGLISH PROMENADE, NICE.
"It is showing at Nice!" Such was the
startling information. as the French
papers call it, which the telegraph CON
vevcd to Paris a few days ago, and
promptly the editors of illustrated papers
telegraphe(l orders to their artists to give
full sketches. So we find in the Paris
L'Illustration very elaborate pictures
of the palms and other ornamental trees
of Nice, dark green foliage covered with
masses of snow-a phenomenon like that
seen i'm some Of the middle western states
in October, 1862 when snow came before
frost, eight inches of it covering the green
pastures and t1oculent masses OF the white
precipitation hanging upon the dark green
trees In Nice. as in Indiana aud Illinois.
however, the phenomenon was visible but
u few hours, as the warm south wind
soon dissolved the snow. To an American
the sensation made of this matter by the
French papers is something of a surprise.
for Nice is in latitude AZ dcss. and Al
mins.-as far north AS Milwaukee! Yet
snow has fallen there but twice III twenty
years,
The difference in climate between the
eastern and western sides of the continents
north of the equator is one Of the puzzles
of science; for while late flowers still live
in the open air at Portland, Ore, the mer-
curry may be 30 degs. below zero at Duluth
and while the late blizzard was carrying
/ death and destruction through Dakota
the French looked on the snow at Nice
(Which melted away in six hours as Q
most startling phenomenon.

ing troops on various portions OF their
western frontier for some months how.
And Chancellor Bismarck must have
smiled all over his broad German face at
the situation presented at the opening OF
the new year: for his victory over the op-
position last year, and the enlargement OF
his military force, were followed by
equally favorable action in the rechstag
early in january, and it then appeared
that he had succeeded in making peace
with the czar, and leaving the latter to
quarrel it out with Austria. But later
events are not SO luspicious. The Rus
slams arc pouring troops by tens of thou
sands into the border provinces, and CON
structing railroads on purely military de-
signs SO that 100000 soldiers can
be concentrated on the German or Aus
trian frontier in a single week. All the
Austrians in Russia without Il special per-
nit have been ordered to get out; all the
Polish officers in the Russian service
have been transferred from Poland and lhe
frontier to interior parts of the empire,
and all the konors of the Russian court
have been bestowed upon the Pan
6lavsts and the War parry. All this
means. the diplomats of western Europe
say, that the ear has made up his mind
once for all, and that the two powers OF

Henry GaynOr of Waterbury, says to-

Henry Gaynor of Waterbury, says to- days Palladium, came to New Haven yes terday and committed acts the penalty for which probably will be term of impris- onment in the county jail. He was arrest ed on Long wharf about ' o'clock last eve ming for assaulting and pounding d man named John Dorsey. He resisted Officers Watson and Jackson who placed him un- der arrest, and being very muscular fel low he succeeded in making matters very lively until the patrol wagon arrived. Af- ter being placed in the lookup Gaynol committed an unprovoked assault on Will liam Connolly, a tramp, kicking him se- verely in the groin and inficting several blows on his head.
 Surprise followed surprise at the town clerks office yesterday. When MT White missed $55O, which he had left in his office Wednesday night, he never expected to see $450 of it, and when late yesterday after noon Dennis H. Tierney pulled ap envel ope containing the money and the mortgage deed from drawer he could hardly believe they were the missing packages until he examined them. If MT Tierney had no' tried to satisfy his curiosity and pulled | over the drawer the money and deed would probably have remained there long time before being found. The envelope which | contained it had been crowded between the drawer and desk and it required a mos | rigid investigation to find it. But the SlC( will probably never be found. No clue q! | to the burglars has yet been discovered

A SOCIAL EVENT IN NAUGAJ UCK.
Many Waterbury People Among Those
 in Attendance.

Many "atefDUfy Among IhOSe in Attendance.
 The social event of the season took place at the Gem opera house, Naugatuck, last evening. The occasion was a leap year party which, while under the auspices of many of Naugatucks leading society ladies, was especially under the supervision of Mrs s. w. Andrews, Mrs George Champion and Misses Warner, Seymour, Nichols and Schnable. The storm did not in the least interfere with the success of the affair and carriage after carriage unloaded it's precious freight at the opera house door until the auditorium was filled with gay throng-ladies in elegant toilets and gen tlemen in claw hammer coats. The deco rations consisted chiefly of flowers and ex- otic plants. Crash covered the floor and here and there a steel engraving in a hand some easel peeped out from bower of flowers, giving the hall the appearance of drawing room.
 At 9:3O o'clock Colts orchestra of Hart ford filled the auditorium with delightful music and thirteen minutes later seventy six couples led by MT and Mrs Frank Twitchell circled around the hall with Prof Spencer of Middletown as director. Dane ing followed with an intermission at mid night for supper which was served in the court room. Meigs &c Trott of this city catered ana set peIofe the company aN elegant and tempting spread.
 Among those present were Miss Nettie Allerton and Athie Allerton of New York; Miss Beach of Derby; Dr May of Bethel; Miss Chase of Westville; Miss Church of Seymour; Miss Bessie Adams, Mrs Johnson and son and Miss Mather of Hartford; Miss Spencer of Middletown; MT and Mrs Wells, Miss Amy Wells, Miss Beach and D. B. Beach of Bridgeport; Charles Beldon, Homer Philly, William Jones, Miss Jennie Rogers, Miss Annie Doughelty, Miss Lake, MT and Mrs w. L. Hall and MT and Mrs George NJ. Allerton of Waterbury; F. A. Houghton, Miss Nellie French, Miss Smith and Parker of Ansonia, Charles Tuttle, S. | w. Pollock, MT and k. A. Smith of New Haven; William Mills of Willimantic Henry Squires, Boston; and MT and Mrs Clarance Isbell of Bridgeport.

A Fresh Deputy Coroner.

Deputy Coroner Walter Pond has writ ten letter censuring Superintendent Beach of the Naugatuck road for his disre- gard of the law. In investigating the Lu- cas case up the Naugatuck road Coroner Pond found that the injured man had been carried about on hard plank in terrible agony, there being no stre,cher on the train or at the station. Section 3,56S of the statutes of Connecticut provides that every train and railroad station shall be provided with hospital stretchers.
 The above is from a New Haven paper Superintendent Beach showed the letter tC DEMOCRAT reporter. The article was printed before MT Beach received the let ter, which, however, was not in the line o1 censure, but merely called attention te the omission. Superintendent Beach said to-day that it was one of those mistakes that were bound to occur sometime in the changing of cars. The company had plen tv of stretchers and their cars were gener ally supplied with them.
 Deputy Coroner Pond evidently does not guard personal matters with that care that characterizes his superior. His pub lication of the contents of the letter was to say the least, fresh.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Bridgeports defeated the New Haven's to at polo, last night.
 Harry Wright considers his new man, Henry, formerly of the Hartfords, the fastest base runner in the league. The Waterburys have signed Phalon to play first base Altman, second base :; Harrington, short stop, and Guest, in the outfield.
 Last nights thunder storm left the Waterbury grounds in such poor condition that the game advertised for tomorrow has been postponed until some day next week.
 Roger Connor appeared at the polo grounds yesterday in fine new light sum mer slit. After walking home through the rain he is willing to sell the suit very cheap.-Sun.
 The Bridgeport baseball club will have for a uniform gray pants, red stockings, maroon shirt with the word Bridgeport" and gray caps. The suits have already been ordered
 The Bridgeport base ball team signed yesterday James L"vett, of Providence, a younger brother of the famous Tommy Lovett. He played few games with Waterbury in 1884.
 Powell will come over with Kilrain and
  will enter the six day race or not is still a mystery. It is possible that he will be fit to enter when he gets here and intends to surprise his old antagonist Littlewood. The whereabouts of Sullivan is a matter of conjecture. The supposition that he is on his way home with Phillips and Barnett is not incredible after all that has been sent over about his humbled spirit. He will want to slip in without notice and as quietly as possible, but he will find that there are thousands of friends he never counted on who will be ready to receive him.
 A New Orleans paper says the Chicagos have ill Krock, the Oshkosh wonder, a phenomenal pitcher, so far as speed Is con cerned. He is 8 big, strong man, with a terribly fierce delivery. The ball shoots from his hand like one fired from . howit- ger. 1t comes straight, though without any curve or up or down shoot, but with such tremendous force as to shake the backstop at every concussion.
 BURNS vS. SUTTON.
 This weeks Clipper says: ''The second deposit of 92O0 side, making total of $500 now up, has been posted by the back CTS of Mike Burns and Pat Sutton, both Waterbury, Ct., pugihsts. The match is for ;$500 a side, probably the largest amount ever posted for bona fide fight in that section, and the event, which is to be decided in May, is looked forward to by the sporting fraternity thereabouts. The men very evenly matched so far as weight and size are concerned. Burns is 27 years old, 5 feet inches high, and weighs TO pounds. Sutton is p years old, , feet inches high, and will fight at 160 pounds"

A Train Delayed Nearly Two Hours.

The limited express which leaves Bridge port at 157 p. m. for New York arriving in that city at 3.30, was delayed nearly two hours Wednesday by an accident at North Haven. The Bridgeport correspon- dent of the New Haven Register writes that paper that all attempts to ascertain
 from the railroad people what caused the delay failed. The passengers said that it was due to an accident to the engine. The passengers were indignant because the railroad company did not make up train from New Haven and thus avoid tho de- lay to passengers on the New York division.

THE FIRST HEAVIES,
Steps Looking to Review of the Entire
 Regiment.

Steps Looking to a Review of the Entire
 Regiment.
 When companies 1 and B and the band of the of First Connecticut Heavy artillery held their review in the city last summer there was talk among some of the members about getting out the entire regiment. Steps looking to such reunion are now being taken by some of the members. The regiment has rever held reunion and it is proposed to get them together at Hartford June 10, and to make the affair one of the most notable of regimental reunions in the state. There are some twenty sur viving members who reside in this city, among them John M. Gallagher, Thomas O'Connor, John Kelly, Herbert Scott, Jos. St. Hilaire and Thomas Callahan.
 The regim en- was mustered in at Hart ford with twelve companies, making in all 1900 men, and departed from Hartford by boat June 10, 1861, for New York, thence to New York by rail. The regiment par ticipated in engagements at Gaines Mill, Fredericksburg, Petersburg and Hanover Court House. In May, 1863, 300 of the regiment were mustered out at Bermuda Hundred, from which place they sailed for Fortress Monroe, thence by steamer to New York, and returning to Hartford by rail- The regiment remained in the ser vice until the winter of 1S65-66, doing gar rison duty after the close of the war, and numbered 1900 when they returned home Just previous to the discharge of the regi- ment number who were dissatisfied with the government for retaining them in ser vice deserted These men were loyal throughout the war, and it is thought that steps should be taken to place them on the roll of honor. The surviving mem bers of the regiment can greatly aid the scheme by sending their names and ad- dresses with any suggestions concerning the reunion to E. B. Bennett, East Berlin.
