Stranded Emigrants

On the bank of the American river, near

on their way from beyond the mountains

Their Big Crop Badly Damaged By

 Eight days of rain, somewhat intermit- tent, with here and there d gleam of sun, only to shut down and rain again, would seem to be enough for one pull The western sharp frosts don't get here, but the rain gets here all the same.
 Tobacco raisers are greatly alarmed at the continued heavy weather. Many fine lots are said to be rotting on the poles, some to such an extent that it falls from them in a good for nothing mass. The crop generally was one of the best eyer found in Connecticut, and tobacco farmers had right to expect a good bit of pocket money for their sea sons work. Some of rhe very early cut had got a little start of the damp weath CT and will probably pull through in good shape, but the general outlook is far from encouraging.
 There were tons upon tons of second crop hay gut just before the spell of weather reached here, and this is of course greatly damaged, much of it being utterly useless for feeding pur- pOSeI.

 Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 see by the papers that my name ap- pears as one of the committee appointed at Sundays meeting of the club organ ized for the professed purpose of work, ing for cleaner politics, after the pattern of Jefferson. 1 wish to say that was not at the meeting held in Holohan's block on the date mentioned and had no knowledge that there was to be such a meeting. My name was used without my consent or knowledge. I believe in clean politics, but when the organizers of this club say that unless they are given a representation on the several tickets they will not vote, it leads people to think that there is deal made with the other side, and that their action is only an excuse to deceive voters and to accomplish their object. We should vote for men who are it for the several offices. Respectfully,

 It is a wholesome play full of char acter, tears and laughs, and deserves the success it has met. Of Miss Ellpler's impersonation it is difficult to speak for even at this remote writing of it, her graceful manner, womanly sweetness touching pathos, bright smile, mobile face and voice of singular power, clear, musical and expl essive, recalls scenes of the play of which she was the central figure and the critic is lost in the en- tranced and admiring auditor. Her art is exquisite. A more strongly emotional and heart touching actress does not tread the Amerlcan stage to-day.-N. Y. News. At the opera house Wednesday evening.

 Speaking of Lewis Morrison's Faust" San Francisco Music and Drama says: "The brocken scene is indeed as wonder ful as 1t Is beautiful and realistic, and as fine piece of art upon canvas as has ever been seen here.

 At the Casino.
 The great bill last night crowded this popular house to the doors and everyone went away delighted. If Manager Pin GUS continues giving such endless amount of good variety as he did last night, there is no question as to the future success of the casino theatre, Another good feature was commencing the entertainment earlier and running it without any waits. It takes time to find out just what people want and how to arrange matters to suit all, but Mana ger Pincus hit it now and standing room only" should be the sign from now on. As to the attractions First comes Winstanley and West. The wonderful Lancashire clog dancing of Mir Winstanley fairly took the house hy storm; and the artistic and novel musi- cal accompaniment of Mr West won great applause. Then followed Sam Lang and Dollie Sharp, who convulsed the audience with their Imaginable sketches. Nelson, the iuggleT, was neat and graceful in the extreme. To say that the Healeys were great, covers the ground thoroughly. When John Healey speaks, you must laugh, Steel and Stiles gave their experiences in a very Imaginable manner.

Peter J. Cassidy of the Berlin iron
 Bridge Company Falls Many Feet.
 Peter J. Cassidy, a riviter, employed by the Berlin Iron Bridge company on the new building at the Farrel Foundry X Machine company, sustained serious and perhaps fatal injuries about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. He was climbing up an iron girder to arrange a block and pulley, when owing to the dampness of the girder he lost his foot hold and feil distance of 80 feet. He struck his foot on tine spar at the foot of the girdCr and that caused him to turn a soInersault. He struck on his feet but was thrown on to his side. He was picked up unconscious by J. F. Rhodes, Frank Stockton and T. Ryan. A hack was summoned and Cassidy was taken to his boarding place. A doctor was summoned. The injuries may prove fatal. Cassidy is about 26 years old, married and lives in New Haven.- Morning Republican.
 A DEMOCRAT reporter made an 4n- successful search for the victim of the alleged accident to-day. The Berlin Bridge company foreman knew nothing about it and never heard of Peter J. Cassidy. None of the physicians spoken to had been called upon to attend the victim. Can it be possible that the Re publican is mistaken?
