 Naugatuck River.
 ANsoNIA, Dec. 13.-Ansonia had another bridge accident this morning. Yesterday a massive monument in memory of Alton Far- rsll arrived by the Naugatuck railroad. This morning an attempt to transport it to the cemetery was made on a four-horse truck of J. M. Harris of Shelton. While crossing the lower bridge the rear wheels broke through the west end, precipitatine the stone, weigh ing nearly five tons. into the river twenty feet below. It was by strong pull the horses saved themselves from being pulled in. Driver Brown jumped down and easily escaped. An employe from the New Eng land Granite company, which furnished the stone, says it will cost less to make another base than to lift this one out of the river. The bridge was in fair condition, but could not stand the strain.

A Shower Of BeefsteAks.

It is said that General Manager Meek,
Of the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth.
was so well pleased with the big Midland
rotary snow plow during the recent
storm which blockaded his road that he
ordered one just like it. When the Fort
Worth line was blocked from the Divide
to Texline Mr.. Meek telegraphed General
Manager Collbrad, Of the Midland, fol
the use Of the rotary plow, and It was
Immediately sent down. 1t was put al
work in q big cut down in New Mexico
where the snow was about twenty feet
deep, and made excellent headway,
throwing an avalanche Of snow fifty feet
into the air at every revolution of the
great augur-like plow, which literally
bored itself through q mass as compact
as sand.
When about the center Of the cut q
strange sight was witnessed. Those who
were standing on either side of the plow
were suddenly deluged with shower OF
beefsteaks. On all sides fell porter
house, sirloin, round steaks, shoulder
steaks, with occasionally slice Of liver
or nicely cut rib roast. Itwas thought
at first that the engine had left the tracs

Among the beautiful buildings fronting q

Both architects died during this interval of
time, and the magnificent structure stands
today monument TO their memory.
The building is in two groups, the narrower
front hanked by fountains toward the Ring
containing the auditorium, the broader rear
wings being devoted to the stage, together
with the rehearsal halls and offices 0f the
building. In these wings are also the vast
scenery storerooms The Opera house covers
an area of 2s,000 square feet. On the first
floor graceful elliptical arched doors support
a parapet adorned with statues Of the liberal

paintings ON a gold background, the friszs

Globe hotel was only one Of several siuls
liar but smaller structures which fase0
but little, II any, better than the larger
hotel. The Transcontinental hotel Wno
the only one which really did prosper,
and that was because Col. Kingsjcy usea
1t as an annex Of the Continental hotel,g
which, on account Of its previously msdo
fame, was always crowded.
The hotels were not the only abyss
which swallowed tho money OF ovsg
sanguine investors. A drive along Bel.
mont and Elm avenues the Other day
showed me many imposing brick struct-
urcs that were once opened as saloons
and restaurants, but are now cigar and
candy stores and are renting for almost
nothing. The outside restaurants lost
heavily. One man had dinner for so
people ready on the day the centennial
opened, and his aggregate receipts asoI
said to have been as much ~ $50, and
on the next day even less. But few -
the visitors cared to leave the exposition
for their meals, as they could surfete
themselves with sweets within the In
closure, and the people who had the n.
terror privileges wero those who made
the money, tho pop corn man alone
clearing 900, 900.
Perhaps the most ludicrous failure cf
all was tho horse shed speculation. The
projectors conceived the idea OF build
ing an enormous horse shed, where the
visitors who drove In from the surround
ing country could leave their horses
: while visiting tho exposition. In tho
prospectus Of the scheme issued Il We
stated that the manure alone deposited
by the horses would sell for enough to
declare handsome dividend. Very few
people, however, preferred horses 10
steam, and 1t is recorded that but one
horse was housed there during the time
1t was open. Many houses were built
near tho exposition grounds on the sup.
position that that part of the city would
rapidly increase in value, and In almost
every instance the speculation resulted
disastrously.
Let the citizens Of New York, Chi.
cago, st. Louis and Washington Learn
from tho experience of Philadelphis,
that the amount OF money to be made ID
case the Worlds fair is held IN either ol
these cities is not as large as II may seem
aud whichever city be fortunate enough
TO be selected as the site OF the expoai
tion, let its people be wary OF engaging
In roseate hued speculations.

the tulle dress seldom lasts for two

made Of white tulle, with three rows Of
narrow silver braid around the bottom
above the hem, and along the edge of the
shawl front drapery, and down the sides
of the full gathered back drapery. It
also bordered the neck and outlined the
figure by being sewn down the darts and
seams. The sash that was worn with
this was Of white silk brocaded in silver,
and with deep fringe Of white silk and
silver knotted in fanciful design.
A Greek silver fillet was worn in the
hair with this gown, and silver bangle
bracelets and silver filigree necklace.
l should say that this silver braid, as
made now, is as pretty and delicate as
filigree work. A companion gown for
a sister to wear might be Of scarlet and
gold or black and gold, all Of the acces-
sories being arranged to carry out the
prevailing contrast.

chest was full and springy, her shoulders
melted into faultless arms and waist,
and, in fact, there was not the suspicion
OF an inharmonious line in her whole

Then, with loud, wailing cry, shaS s

Of the clearing, where all the cattle b.
longing to tho farmers round abouts
browsed during tho day. In les thas1
an hour she returned with several mneo
cows, who gathered around the spco!
with loud bellowings, paving thoS
ground and lashing themselves to fury
with their tails. e
Then all but two galloped away ~
different directions, giving out the mooo'
awful cries, and before long were bac1s

paving and bawling, and they gathesol
around tho tree, tearing the dirt an4:
plowing It up with their horns and tSy-'

Words cannot paint the weird horroel
of the sight. Every moment more cat-I

and trying to vent their fury upon tho

had been hung, while their lamentarI

coast at period when there was nothing
to compare with it elsewhere on the
American continent. Recently these
views OF Professor Putnam have received
q bit Of corroboratiye testimony which IL
quite remarkable.
Mr.. NJ. A. Kurtz, a citizen Of Nampa,
Idaho, was engaged in boring an arte-
sian well. He had bored to depth OF
500 feet, going consecutively through 81
feet of sail, Is feet Of lava rock, 100 feet
Of quicksand. 9 inches Of clay, 40 feet OF
quicksand, Q feet Of clay, 30 feet OF
auicksand, 10 feet Of clay, then clay
balls mixed with sand, and then coarse
sand. While working through the coarse
sand Mr. Kurtz, who was standing by
the well when the valve Of the pump
was opened. held his hand where the
water and SIND would pour over it.
Suddenly he caught something unusual
in his fingers. which he retained. TAX
ing it to barrel Of water he washed 1t.
The object turned Out To be little red
doll. which had doubtless been buried
there a long while ago. The curiosity
il considered genuine. since it would
have been impossible for any one to have
thrown down any such object through
the pipe. which would have been the
only way
