OUR LIFE SAVERS.

Thc story of Their Heroic Work During
 the Late storm to Be Told to Congress.
 WAsulNGToN, D. C.. Sept 23.-The most heroic chapter in the history of the Life Saving Service will be the record of the life savers during the re- cent storm along the Atlantic coast. Brief telegraphic reports are all that have been received here, but from these 1t can be gathered that hundreds O: lives and thousands of dollars worth of property have been saved through the efforts of the various life saving stations.
 As soon as telegraphic communica- tion was restored with the stations along the coast Superintendent Kim ball requested reports from each. Moth ing like the same number of reports within a period covered by single storm has ever before been accom- pltshed in the history of tho Life Say ing Service of any country.
 Along tho coast of Massachusetts 19 vessels in distress were reached by the life-saving crews and either assisted or their crews taken ashore Thirtv-onc
 Along tho fnooo ,s1e4la ,=S.--~Cvvy. crews. aggregating men, were rescued
 Seven crews. aggregating 24 persons, were rescued on the coast of New Jer- soy.
 At the Delaware Breakwater g yes Sels in distress were assisted and 164 persons taken ashore.
 At Cape Henry 3 stranded vessels were reached and 24 lives rescued.
 When the full returns of tho work done by the Life Saving Service during the recent storm reaches Superinten- dent kimball he intends to compile them and submit them to Congress with tho recommendation that these rugged heroes be recognized to the extent of at least giving them adequate pay for their courageous service.

The Worlds Fair {! IN WATERBURY IN 1892. co
DONATED BY ONE OF ITS LEADING MERCANTILE HOUSES.

While this grand project is being dis crissed in every newspaper of influence throughout the country, the press of our city as we'll as our leading citizens have shown a strange apathy that is almost unpardonable in presenting the claims of our famous city. Why are we behind in this and foremost in every thing else? Is it not a well-kno "n fact that ever since the landing of Col umbus everything that has contributed to the welfare of humanity has been brought about by the genius of our mechanics and the enterprise of our manufacturers? But of course we are behind on road making. Our roads are exactly where Adam left them. Water bury has not yet produced roadmaking genius. Road-makihg is among the lost arts as far as Waterbury is concerned. Who is it that has not heard of the Wa terbury watch, the Waterbury buttons, the Waterbury buckles, the Waterbury lamps. the Waterbury pins, the Water bury brass interests, and last but always first, the WATERBURY FURNITURE co, 20 GRAND STREET? We head the list with SIC, ,000 as an inducement. Who will follow our example? Town plot will do to hold the fair, and a little of our machinery will make it accessible.

OYSTER MEN AT WAR.
Trouble Between Virginia and Maryland
 Over the Potomac Oyster Beds.


 Over the Potomac Oyster Beds. BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.-The oyster- gathering citizens of Maryland accuse Virginia oysterers of a wanton violation of the oyster laws governing the Poto- mac River. The Nirginians claim that their acts are sanctioned by their State.
 In 1884 a compact was formed between Virginia and Maryland which gave both States equal rights on the Potomac re- garding oyster catching. Each State enacted laws for the mutual protection of the oyster beds. The laws are alike and apply to the cicizens of both States. Dredging in the Potomac is prohibited between April and November l. Vir- ginians are now taking oysters at the mouth of the Potomac, the State of Virginia, they claim, having granted permits for that purpose.
 The oystermen in Maryland are ex- cited over 1t, and say that the State of Maryland shall hold Virginia to a strict observance of the law.
