SACRED HEART CHURCH.
The Most Beautiful Christmas Crib
 Ever Seen in Waterbury.

The Most Beautiful Christmas Crib
 Ever Seen in Waterbury.
 Father Treanor has placed in the Sacred Heart church the most beautiful and historic Christmas crib ever seen in Waterbury. The figures are life-like, and most beautiful specimens of terra cotta workmanship. They consist Of the Babe of Bethelehem," the Virgin Mary, St Joseph, the adoring shepherds and wise kings from the east. The real istic surroundings of the poor stable at Bethelehem are brought out on the can vas, and bring the visitor back in spirit to the time of our Lords birth. The music rendered by the choir and and orchestra o1 the church of the Sacred Heart on Christmas morning and even 1 ing, deserved more than a passing men, ton, as it was undoubtedly the best ever given at a church service in Water bury. The difficult and beautiful pas sages of music in the mass and vespers were interpreted by we'll trained choristers and soloists, under the able direction of the organist, Mrs Lucien Wolff. Mir Bergin and his accomplished assistants easily excelled all predeces' sors in orchestral accompanying. Mrs William Bsrgin, Miss Maggie Farrell Miss Lucy Quiglsy, James Strong. L. Horn. and M. McEvoy, deserve specia
 mention for their artistic renditions.

REMARKABLE WEATHER.

The Fury of the Great Storm Spent
 Before Waterbury Was Reached
 In striking contrast to the balmy weather of Christmas day we were treated to a genuine March hurricane last night. The mercury took rapid descent and the streets were almost de- serted. Swinging signs squeaked and moaned, small branches and twigs were blown from trees, but no accidents of a serious nature are reported. In front of Conlon Brothers, store glass show case was blown over and shattered, the con- tents being scattered in all directions. The telephone and telegraph wires bore up bravely under the strain. At 8 o'clock there was slight squall of snow, accom- panied by terrific gale of wind. Phy- sicians say that the sudden severe change is conducive of pneumonia.

TRACK TALK.
Plot to Injure the Freight Traffic of
 The Consolidated.

I
 The Consolidated.
 Says the New Haven News: There is evidently some gigantic schemes on foot in railroad managements which, II con summated as it is believed they will De, will make some great hustling in the New York, New Haven and Hartford division of the Consolidated road, in the New York Central and Hudson River road, in the Harlem road and in the New England system. The most inn portant of these schemes is perhaps that of the Harlem, which proposes to take freight at Port Morris and thence trans fer it to Brewsters, where it will go over the New England to points east. The freight will be received from western points and transferred to Port Morris by means of barges. This is a direct blow at the Consolidated road, but one which they are meeting in a small way, for some time ago a fast freight train, known as the special freight, was put oIi.
 A Connecticut Associated press dis patch from New Haven to-day says the Consolidated road officials laugh at the rumor, which they say is wholly with out foundation.
