A PROPOSED BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The Amsterdam Faculty Want to Es-

The Amsterdam Faculty Want to Es-
 tablish Branch Here.
 President F. B. Rice of the board of trade has received a letter from Primer pal Howard Keeler of the Amsterdam business college, asking numerous ques- tions in regard to Waterbury. The faculty are particularly pleased with a description of the city and its people given by President Rice in a former let ter and wish to open college here at once. A room containing 1,200 square feet is wanted and also one or two small Ter ones. In his letter to President Rice Principal Keeler says that the first year the college was opened in Amsterdam one hundred pupils were enrolled and he expects Waterbury to do as well if not better than that. The school is highly spoken of and affords an opportunity that is seldom met with for young men of limited means to receives thorough business education. Thb sessions are held both day and evening. It is to be hoped that arr angements will be made for the immediate opening Of the college in this city.

PREPARE FOR A FAMINE.
Butchers Alarmed at the Condition
 of the Beef Market.

Butchers Alarmed at the Condition
 of the Beef Market.
 A representative of the DEMOCRAT on his trip this morning found many of the butchers anxious as to the supply of meat for tomorrow. The retailers, with few exceptions, have not sufficient beef to carry them over tonight and they claim that the wholesalers are not stock ed either. A conversation with the principal wholesalers verified this claim. Lilly, Swift & Co have no beef on hand, but are expecting car tonight. They place no credence in the report that the beef is held back in order to advance the price. Pierpont Brothers are also with out any stock on hand but are awaiting a car. $. Bohl is no better off but claims that his car has been delayed twenty-four hours longer than usual, but he will certainly have a car in to- night. Some of the retailers are very reticent on the matter and it was only by dint of steady ques- tioning that any facts could be obtained Some few, however, express their opin- ions freely and claim that the whole salers have combined to raise the price. This the wholesalers emphatically deny | and say that the arrival of carloads of beef tonight will prove their denial a good one. As it rests now unless Antonio's ship comes in Waterbury is very liable to patronize the fish market l tomorrow.

KILLING FISH WITH DYNAMITE.

Three Italians Take This Unlawful
 Method to Get a Dinner and Are
 Arrested.
 Three Italians were arrested yesterday for blowing up Hitchcocks pond with dynamite, thus killing many more fish than they could get or use if they did get them. They were taken before Justice Todd of Wolcott who after placing them under bonds of S5O.OO apiece adjourned their cases for one week. Attorney w. H. Pierce, president of the Waterbury Field club, appeared for the prosecution, while R. A. Lowe looked out for the de- fense. The arrests were made by w. c. Fielding of Fielding, Conn, Detective Agency, who is also the agent of the Connecticut Farmers and Sportsmen association for the protection of game and fish. This association, by one of it's directors, is interested with the Field club in feretting out and prosecuting these breakers of the fish laws and both associations are after all violators of either game or fish laws.

CONCORDIA BENEFIT CONCERT.
A Deserved Success, Financially
 Socially and Otherwise

SoS1oAAS tSAu othSI "IScs
 Cosy little Concordia hall was crowded last evening by the concert lovers of the city who had come to witness a pleasing entertainment, and the issue proved that the Concordias know how to give such an entertainment. Every number on the programme was excellently rendered and all received enthusiastic encores The concertl opened with a chorus by the Concordias, Abends (evening) MT E. F. Laubin who Is always favorite in Waterbury again carried the audience in rapturous delight through his difficult renditions on the piano. X double quar- third number, and the encore the club received by the singing of "The Sea Hath Its Charms fully rewarded the members for their efforts. Prof R. R. Cone who first appeared in this city in violin solo over year ago at the enter tainment given by the Sacred Heart church, appeared again last night. Not a whisper could be heard as the violinist with the skill of a trained artist drew from the strings now low mournful vail only to expand into narrowing screech as of demons at play, anon the music wavered and changed kike the rippling laughter of the bubbling stream as it dashed over the rocks on it's playful course, reminding the entranced au- dience that even inanimate objects can be made to speak when touched with the magic wand of music. Prof Cone is a brilliant violinist and merited the en- thusiastic encore he received. Miss Maggie Farrell favored the audience with Millards Waiting" and received a deserved encore. Miss Farrell was the recipient of beautiful bou- quet from the Concordia society. For an encore the young lady sang Madeline" '" The prize song 'Glencoe" completed the first part of the programme, and if the singing societies throughout the state wish to secure the prize they will have to do some hustling, as from the ren- dition last night the Concordias will make good fight for the trophy. The Banjo club occupied two minutes on the second part and again sustained the hard earned reputation of the club as the mu- sical geniuses of Waterbury. Henry Ahl in his solo of Pictures of Home,H assisted by Henry Pincus with skyop- tlcon illustrations, again captured the au- dience, and was compelled to give a rep etition of the song. Henry Pincus. who made such hit at the entertainment of the Orphens club as an elocutionist, dem onstrated the fact last night that his ability has not been overestimated. He selected as his first number a difficult selection which under the careful study of MT Pincus was made an amusing and at the same time an interesting selection. 'Shamus O'Brien" was the recitation given and it's rendition merited the en- core it received. An imitation of Joe Jefferson as "Rip Van Wrinkle" was given as an encore. The Concordia chorus closed :. :.the evenings entertain ment and a more pleased audience never left ConcOrdia hall

AWhifachanal A Yiotim.

In his speech at the Presbyterian Synod recently the Rev. John MacNeill created quite 8 sensation by telling the following tale He was speaking of tom perance, and said that last Sunday, when he preached a temperance sermon at the tabernacle, he received a letter that had been written by lady on the danger of the use at communion of fermented wine. The lady in her letter told 8 sad story of an inherited passion for drink. There were four or five of them-several broth CTS and two sisters-the children of in- temperate parents. Her sister had un- fortunately inherited the craving, and before she was If had taken to drink. The others became converted and did all in their power to cure their sister, but 1t was no use.
 The sister at length married comforta- bly, and children were born. But the craving for drink grew greater and greater, and at length she was sent to home for inebriates, where she stayed a year. She left apparently, said the sister, a changed woman. Soon after. however, her husband caught 0 severe cold, and before going out one morning however, not to do so in the presence of his wife. Then, as was his custom, be- fore leaving he kissed his wife. At once the fumes of alcohol passed into her and in an hour she was drunk and roaring woman. She went from worse to worse and at last left her husband and her children, one of them a cripple, through her drunkenness. The husband died two years ago, white-haired and broken-hearted man. though only 46 years old. "Need add," said the sister in her letter, "what became of her? Her story is that of Annie Chapman, one oi the recent Whitechapel victims. That 1 was my sister !'-Pall Mall Gazette.

HEARING EXPERT TEsTIMOY.

The Defense Trying to Prove That
 ohm Calvin Was Killed by tho
 Doctors.
 In the Souder murder trial at Hart ford yesterday afternoon Dr A. G. Cook, one of the hospital physicians, said Gal vim was brought to the hospital about ? o'clock in the morning. He was un- conscious and the right arm and leg were motionless. The left arm and leg moved convulsively. Opened his eyes and touched them, but found him total ly unconscious. The wound at first was too small to introduce the finger and it was afterwards enlarged. Came to the conclusion there was a fracture of the skull and slight depression. The man was suffering from a compression of the brain. Dr Howe was sent for and on his arrival trephining was performed. Dr Howe's diagnosis was the same as wit ness. Both doctors thought trephining should be performed. Dr Howe enlarg- ed the wound perpendicular to the orig inal cut. The scalp was turned back and the pericranlum was removed. Saw the Assure in the skull and the trephine was placed on the skull and the operation performed. An antiseptic compress was placed over the wound. The man died from the effects of the blow on the head on Saturday. three days after.
 Dr H. G. Howe, the visiting surgeon at the hospital at the time of the murder, when called, considered the patient in a critical condition. It was a case for |trephining. Thought no other treatment advisable All the instruments used were produced in court. The trephine looked like the shell of large cartridge with fine teeth on the open end and a corkscrew handle fastened to the closed end. The bone was cut by moving the instrument around upon it by a circular motion. Upon removing the disc of bone and introducing an elevator under the skull, teaspoonful and half of clotted blood oozed out and was removed from the interior portion of the wound. A slight hole was clipped in the brain sack to see if any blood rested upon the brain. Calvin died from the result of the blow upon the head. The wound could have been caused by small knife.

A Song Writers Neglected Grave.

There Is little green mound and humble marble slab in a secluded corner of Otterbein cemetery, about twelve miles north of the city of Columbus, Ohio, which marks the grave of the author of that famous ballad, Darling Nellie Gray" A visitor to the spot learns from the inscription on the stone that it is the last resting place of BenJa- min Russell Hanby' The seclusion of the tomb, the neglect shown it by all save 0 few relatives and the general Ignorance of it's location forms another illustration of the forgetfullness of the human race. Notwithstanding the grave of the author of Darling Nellie Gray is forgotten and neglected, his own beautiful ballad has sculptured out for him a monument of memory which will endure the changes of centuries to come Columbus Press.

Eleven Y ear-Old James McGrath Falls
 Into the Raceway.
 <James McGrath, the 11-year-old son of James McGrath, of Naugatuck, went to play with some boys near the railroad track on North Water street late yester- day afternoon. About dark as he did not return home his parents became alarmed as he had not been seen by his playmates since early i'll the evening. The raceway of the G R Glove company runs back of the McGrath residence and it was thought that the boy had fallen in. An unsuccessful search was made for the body. This morning the search was continued and about 8 o'clock the boys cap was found near the raceway at the factory. At ten o'clock the little fellows body was found, head down ward and covered with mud, in the race way a short distance back of his home
