seventeen-year-old daughter Nellie

the other four, including the dead
daughter, in the most squalid poverty

Whitelaw Reid for that post and his de-

Whitelaw Reid may decline to go abroad
in any capacity, claiming the English
mission or nothing. Murat Halstead is

TERRYVILLE EXCITED.
Partners in a Country Store WI Gould Not 4Urce.

Partners in Country Store Who
 Could Not Agree.
 TERRYvILLE, December 5.-The part nership recently formed by Louis F. Egan and George Schwabie, grocers, has been dissolved because firm name could not be agreed upon. Egan was foreman in the store of John J. Gierd- ing, recently deceased. and Schwabie was one of Gierding's rivals in the grocery business. Some weeks ago Egan and Schwabie decided to jointly establish a store which would practically succeed Gierding's, and chose "Egan 6 Schwabie'' as the name of the firm. They remodeled dwelling house so that the entire lower story could be used for a store, and put in a large stock of gro ceries. They were all ready to com mence buisness when Schwabie said that the firm name should be reversed to read ''Schwabie & Egan." This caused trouble, for Egan refused to be made the junior partner, and the result will be that the two will do business separately. There is considerable feeling on both sides, and Terryville may expect big reductions in groceries on account of the rivalry that will ensue.

The Scheme to Increase 1t Will be
 Fought to the Bitter End.
 There is considerable opposition to the scheme to increase the salary of the fire marshal, which was checked in the board of councilmen the other night by John Fitzpatrick, just in the nick of time. Mir Fitzpatrick objected to put ting the matter to its final passage, upon the ground that the resolution had not been engrossed by the clerk. as provided by the charter. The republican presl- ruled the objection and allowed a vote to be taken upon the matter. City Attorney Terry was appealed to-, after the result of the vote had been an- nounced by the clerk, and decided that the matter could not be legally acted up- on until it was expressed. The president of the board made the best of an embar- rassing. situation, and the matter was ordered engrossed by the clerk.
 In the aldermanic chamber the same action was about to be taken when some body announced the action taken by the councilmen. The republican majority put their heads together, ordered a recess for five minutes, had the resolution en- grossed by the clerk, and then passed it ever an objection raised by Alderman Rametti, his point being that according to the charter new business can not be acted upon at the meeting in which it is introduced, should any member raise an objection. It is doubtful whether the action of the aldermen is legal.
 Another effort will be made at the next meeting of the council to have the matter passed in the council chamber and taxpayers should carefully watch the aye and nay vote upon the question. John w. Mcdonald, Terrence c. O'Brien, Acting Chief Bassett and many other men entirely capable. stand ready to accept the position at present prices, and if in the face of this, the salary at tached to the position is increased the people should know who are responsible for it.
 Every democrat in the council should attend the nextmeeting of the board pre- pared to vote down the scheme to bleed the city of few hundred dollars.

The Missing Naugatuck Man On
 His Way East.
 A San Francisco reporter has had an interview with Edward M Andrews. the Naugatuck man, who disappeared several years ago, and tells his story as follows: In 1885 Edward M Andrews of Naugatuck, successful business man, went to Florida with the idea of founding a colony there. His wife re- mained in Connecticut. In January, 1886, Andrews disappeared. After a severe sickness he wandered away and was last seen roaming in the woods. Reports finally came to Connecticut that he had been found dead in a swamp in Florida. The Masonic association ac- cepted evidence of his death and paid his wife S3,000. A Hartford company in which Andrews was insured for S10,- GOO was not satisfied that he was dead and refused to pay. Last September Andrews notified his friends in Con- necticut that he was alive in California. His story was that he ''found himself there without being able to tell how or when he got there. By fortunate specu- lations he had secured about $2O,O0O. The $3 ,000 was paid back to the Masonic association and Andrews is now on his way east. He has never given any satisfactory explanation of why he fail ed to notify his friends of his where abouts after he .regained consciousness" n California.

THIEVES IN WOODBURY.

Farmers Watching tho Waterbury
 Markets Hoping to Find Their Prop
 erty.
 A gang of house-breakers have been carrying on a wholesale business in Woodbury and vicinity during the past week, No less than seven houses have been broken into, some of which were the residences of prominent citizens. The town is considerably stirred up over the depredations. The authorities have so far made every effort to keep the matter quiet, hoping that thus the theives would be emboldened to carry on their work on a larger scale, which would render their capture al most certain. When the gang are not engaged in house breaking they rob hen roosts and several parties are watching the markets of Waterbury hoping to find their property, taken to the city. The burglars have thus far obtained but little money. At one house they visited the barnyar and muzzled two pigs and ran off with them, without detection.
