A good story is told on Cleveland man,
whom we viii call Mr. A, and a beautiful
young girl, Miss B, who accompanied his
wife to a summer resort last year. Mn A

EJes of ELECTRICITY.

It doesn't seem possible that pa would do
such thing, but The Belfast Age says he
did According TO that paper a Belfast man
has small electric battery which he put to
a novel use. His wife occasionally makes
him stay at home to take careof the children.
He was left the other day, and wanted to 20
across the street badly, but the children were
too young to be left alone. He finally set the
battery going, then placing the handles In
the children's hands started the current
strong enough 50 they couldn't let go, and
left them. They were there on bis return.
The beauty Of this story probably is in the
electrical current Of Imagination that runs
through it.

HIS FRIENDS NOT ANXIOUS.
Kilrain's Backers Slow to Place Bets-New
Orleans Excited.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 3.-As the day
of battle draws near the excitement be-
comes more intense, and thousands OF
people express themselves as being anx-
ious to go to the mill, no matter where it
axes place. Enthusiasts engaged in bus
mess are already laying the foun lation
for an excuse to 60 Sick headache, stom-
troubles, ETC., are frequent, and shrewd
guessers lay all the complaints to desire
to see the fighting on Monday.
Betting on the result WAS not very lively
today, there being plenty of Sullivan
money, but little Kilrain money in sight.
The Kilrain men are holding back for the
advent of the bookmakers ana knowing
ones who are expected in today. One bet
of 5000 to $3.50 on Sullivan was placed to-
day, and bets Of 500 to SO and 500 to $50
on Sullivan were offered, but found no
takers The Sullivan men are not offering
these odds because they underrate kilrain,
but because the latter's friends are shy
just now. One friend of kilrain
said: 1T would be impossible for
a man fed on Boston baked beans to get
away with a man fed on canvass ducks
and Chesapeake oysters" and layed q
small wager on his opinion.
Professor Butler will have charge of the
ring police, who will number 200 men.
They are to be sworn in on Monday next at
the Office of the Spirit of the South. The
managers of the fight give assurance that
the utmost order will be maintained.
A special train left over the Queen 81
Crescent line today having as passengers
the managers and friends of the two slug
gers and they did not return until late in
the night.
The young mems gymnastic club had a
meeting tonight to arrange for the recep-
ton of Sullivan, who will reach here to-
morrow. He will be met at the depot by a
large delegation of officers and most prom
inent members and be driven to the club
rooms where the champion will be well
coined In as quiet a manner as possible.
After that he will be taken to his quarters
at Spanish fort Three rooms have been
prepared in the Casino for Sullivan and
trainers. They connect with each
other by doors and are comfortably fur
nished
The Southern Athletic club will receive
Kilrain, and large delegation will go out
on a special train to meet him aad party
on Friday. kilrain and party will en-
bark on special train at the meeting
point and come to the city, where carriages
will take all to the club rooms, where
quarters have been prepared for him.
1t is curious thing to note the sudden
faith that has sprung up in the curative
waters of Abita Springs, and the desire
that has suddenly seized a great number
of people to smell the perfume of the
pines. Nearly every one you meet on the
street is going to Abita Springs on Mon
day.

APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
Two Hundred Miners Killed in Mine IN
France.

PARIS July BY an explosion in the
mines at st. Etienne today 200 miners were
killed. Two mines were affected by the
explosion. One of them is inundated and
the other one on fire.
Sixteen bodies have been recovered. Ten
of the miners who were taken out alive
are SO badly injured that they will prob
ably die. The news of the disaster spread
quickly and the mouths of the pits were
soon surrounded by crowds of relatives
and friends of the imprisoned miners.
Many heartrending scenes We're witnessed
as the bodies were brought to the surface.
There is no hope of rescuing any of the
men now in the pits, all of whom have al
ready probably persisted.

A SURVIVORS, ACCOUNT OF THE
WRECK.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Henry n. Martin,
of New Orleans, who was in the wreck OF
the Norfolk & Western railroad but es-
capped uninjured, his sleeper alone of all
the coaches remaining on the track, ar
rived in this city this evening. He says
that the night of the accident was very
dark and stormy and that when be looked
out of the window ten minutes before the
disaster the rain was coming down harder
than he had ever seen it before. An en-
bankment had been built at the scene of
the washout with small culvert beneath
to carry off the water. The unusually
heavy rainfall had backed the water up
against this embankment and had under
mined the whole mass OF earth, making a
deep ditch into which the engine and five
coaches plunged.

GOOD RAILWAY SERVICE.

During the past few days thousands of persons from all parts of the country have been put down in New York, and with the single exception of the accident on the Grand Trunk without mishap or delay. This speaks well for the railroad systems of the United States, which are without any exception the best equipped and best managed in the world
 From our own state thousands have gone to the metropolis, and the railroads carving them deserve the greatest praise and the heartiest congratulations. The splendidly equipped Consolidated again demonstrated it's capacity for handling large crowds without interference with its routine regulations and ordinary freight and passenger service. It is the remarkable perfection of the Consoli- dated management that has made it a fayorite. on all it's branches, with the public which is served by it, and that seems never to be better eXemplified than on extraordinary occasions like that of the centennial celebration. When the Consolidated's petition for an increase of capital stock comes up in the legislature, it is more than likely that its splendid service on this occasion will, as it ought, be potent argument in favor of its wishes.
 The New England too, which carried many from Waterbury and contiguous towns and from many other places on it's route, and in every case without mishap or delay, deserves hearty commendation for the excellence of it's service. Many persons who were unable to make the tourney in the day time found the Wash. ington express passing through late in the evening very convenient train, and many congratulations were exchanged that such timely service was provided
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-05-02

THE cheers that were given for the southern militia in Tuesdays parade must have galled the very heart of Gov ernor Foraker and the little coterie who help him to keep alive the bitter mem- ories of the rebellion. They were mag nifcent tribute, however, to the patri- otism, the Americanism of the northern people who believe the war ended when Lee laid down his sword at Appomattox, and to the reunited brotherhood of the American people north and south. Those small minds whose delight it is to rattle the bones of the civil strife ought to go home and bury themselves out of the public sight now and forevermore.

by the road. The improvement in the New England service both as to manage ment and general equipment, has been very noticeable of late, and augurs well for the future of Waterbury and the towns through which its lines pass if cer- tain plans that are now under way are perfected.
 Altogether the Connecticut railroads are to be highly commended for the ex- cellent service provided during the eele- bration. The people of the state are pot likely to forget it when the occasion arises to show their appreciation.
