Typhoid Fever Proves Fatal After [
 Weeks Illness.

Typhoid Fever Proves Fatal After
 Weeks Illness.
 City Engineer F. Floyd Weld, died from typhoid fever at his residence on North Main street at an early hour this morning. His death was a shock to the community, as MT Weld had only been sick few days. A week ago last Mon- day in company with committee from the road board, he went to New York to examine some pavements. He was not feeling very well, and on his return was taken i'll with typhoid fever.
 Mir Weld was born in Sag Harbor l.. I. in February 1850 and was graduated from the Shdffield scientific school at Yale in 1871.
 He came to Waterbury in 1883, and was engaged to assist Nelson J. Welton who had charge of the street depart ment. The new sewers were being built at that time ,and MT Weld did some good work. On February 13. 1884. he was elected city engineer which position he has held ever since.
 He was a member of Continental lodge, F. and A. M., Eureka Chapter and Waterbury council. He leaves a wife and two daughters, aged respective ly II and 13 years. One of his children is at present sick with typhoid fever.
 The funeral will take place Monday afternoon. The remains will be taken on the 4:40 p. m. train to Guilford, where the interment will take place.
 Alderman French in the absence of Mayor Baldwin called on the family of Mir Weld and extended to them the sympathy of the city officials. Alder man French has called a meeting of the court of common council at the mayors office at s o'clock this evening to take action on Mir Welds death.

ST MARY,S SCHOOL.
Another Enjoyable Entertainment
 Last Night.

Another EnJOyaDle EntertainmenC
 Last Night.
 St Patrick's hall was crowded last evening to witness the repetition of the exercises which had been so well re- ceived the previous evening. The heartiest applause greeted the actors on the stage of life and assured them and their teachers of the appreciation of the public.
 Little Miss Duncan in "Funny Uncle Phil" achieved a triumph which an older one might have coveted. Reuben and Racher', Stephen Donahue and NJ. Woods, again proved the comic feature of the evening. Miss Mary Shields recitation of "Berenice" was a graceful performance.
 In the line of music the singing of Misses Conroy, Hughes. killoughy, Duncan and Luddy of the higher class, merits special praise. The closing tableau the Grotto of Lourdes, was this time witnessed from the rear of the hall and the effect was much more realistic than when the re- porter the previous evening was near the scene.
 A gentleman present, who is ire quently called upon to give public reel tations, remarked that the recitation in unison by thirty boys was accomplished with perfection which evidenced the thorough drill they had received. A full report of the school year of St Mary's will shortly appear in the DEMO- GRAF and copy should be preserved by every friend of this successful parochial school.

 The Juno meeting at Charter Oak park, Hartford, which closed yesterday !, has been 8 most successful one. The first event on yesterday afternoons pro- gramme was a special race between Harry Wilkes, with record of 2:13a and Rosalind Wilkes, whose record is 2:14. Harry won the race in two straight heats, the raee being the best two in three. The 2:33 pacing race was hotly contested in every heat, A fter finishing fourth in the first heat, Lochinvar took three straight heats and the race, though he was hard pushed by the others.
 "Lady" Baldwin is doing about the best pitching of all the Buffalo twirlers.

 George Littlewood and James Albert, the stars of the six day go-as-you-please world, are negotiating for 8 race to take place in Madison Square Garden in October.
 When we see good men like Henry, Hartford's ex-manager, released by minor league clubs, says the Sporting Life, go into major league clubs, and hold their own. it makes one wonder what sort of base ball men are behind the average minor league club and where their judgment comes in. Henry's case is but one of many. The base ball supremacy will be settled between Harvard and Yale at Springfield, Mass, to-day. Each team has won two games.

LIBERTY STREET EXTENSION.
The Railroad Company Preparing t
 Lay Tracks Upon the Land.

A
 Lay Tracks Upon the Land.
 Yesterday afternoon gang of railroad laborers commenced the work of build ing a fence around the land recently purchased by the Consolidated company. The fence extends to Jewelry street and the river wall. This move is calculated to do away with the short cut used daily by thousands of people going from South Main to Bank street and-vice versa. This morning another gang of railroad CTS were at work preparing the ground will be wasted by the company and un- less immediate action is taken by the authorities, the extension of Liberty street will of necessity be indefinitely postponed.
 City Attorney Terry is looking up the law in the case and will report at the next meeting of the common council, and an injunction restraining the rail road company from using the land need ed for the proposed public improvement will probably be secured.
 According to the records the road board first recommended to the council the laying out of the extension of Liberty street. The recommendation was adopted by both boards of the coun. | Gil and the matter was referred to the board of compensation to assess benefits and damages. This board gave a hear. ing to parties interested, including the railroad officers; a plan of the street was prepared and City Engineer Weld with the Consolidated road engineer was instructed to prepare plans for the necessary approaches. Here the matter dropped. It is understood that such plans have been prepared but have never been called for by the board oi compensation or the council, and are pigeon-holed in the engineers office.
 Of himself City Attorney Terry sayl he can do nothing until the council takes action.

 MAnso Death.
 J. Frank Warren, . travelling sales- man of Elmira, N. Y.. was shot and in- stantly killed two weeks ago by his son while in an angry dispute with his wife over alleged attention which she claimed her husband was receiving from other women. In the dead man's pockets were found letters from a young Nor walk woman signed "Eva," which were accompanied by . photograph. Up to yesterday the identity of "Eva' has been only a matter of conjecturo. Thursday evening Coroner Jacobs of Elmira came to Norwalk, and by the aid of the photograph, soon ferreted out the mysterious Eva who proved to daughter of Burgess Isaac Bowe. The matter soon became public and con- siderable of Q sensation has consequent ly resulted. MT Bowe, who naturally feels deeply the situation, gave the facts in the case last night. He says his daughter became acquainted with War ren at the Danbury fair last year when he protected her from a drunken man. She took his name and address and in- vited him to call at her home when he visited Norwalk. This he did several times, always with the knowledge of her folks and always in the presence of ness Warren sent her flowers and when she recovered he asked for her photo graph which she gave him, with her mothers consent. Warren never con. cealed the fact of his being married and often spoke affectionately of his son. Mis- Cornelps deposition will probably be taken for use in the trial of the latter.

Tho Town of Union.

ROCKVILLE, June 2S.-The final re- port of the census enumerators will probably show that the town of Union in Holland county is the most healthful locality in the state. Enumerator Walker, whose district includes that town, states that he found no person in the town under the care of physician and his census list shows that there is no doctor in the town, and it is very evident that no doctor could exist in the town. His census report will also show the curious fact that there is not 8 minister, or lawyer in the place. One licensed preacher, Elder Amasa Morse, lives there but his occupation is that of an agriculturist and as such is put down on the list.

 the Other Day.


 the Other Day.
 L.TCHFIELD, June 28.-Abopt a month ago a young man named Bafden. came to town from New York state and entered the employ of J. s. Smith. It seems that he was wanted in Pine Plains for the offence of rape, and few days ago the authorities of Pine Plains hearing of his whereabouts sent two officers to arrest him. The officers went to Hartford and obtained requisition papers and Tn returning stopped at Win sted and secured the services of Deputy Sheriff Slocum. They then came here to get the man. Proceeding to Smiths place they saw as they approached, their man upon ladder placed against large barn that he was painting. Sheriff Slocum suggested that he had better go for Barden as the latter would not know his business and would not suspect what was wanted. This plan was adopted, and while the New York officers re- mained out of sight, Slocum placed his hand on Barden's 8 shoulder saying, !s your name Barden?" The man replied, ''yes," "then I want you, so come with me-" said the sheriff. "All right, was the reply. Slocum then proceeded to descend the ladder, his prisoner follow ing with his paint pail and brush. Just as they reached the bottom of the ladder Barden dipped the brush in the paint and slapped it directly across the sheriff's eyes and then ran away before the officer cold recover from his aston ishment, thus escaping. He is still un- apprehended.

coNNnCrIcuT,s POPULATION.
FeArN That the State will Lose One
 Representative.

Fearn That the State win Lose Ono
 Representative.
 The census figures, already mady pnb- lie, indicate that there is a probability that the increase in population of Con- necticut since 1880, win not be shown sufficient to retain the present represen- tation of four in the national house of representatives. The decrease in pOpu- lation is in the farming districts. It is believed that the population of the state will not be shown to be more than 725- 900
 This afternoon Supervisor Mccarthy gave the following estimate of the popu- lation of Waterbury, Danbury and Nor walk:
 1880 1890 Increase Waterbury, 2O,27O 32.2OO 11,930 Danbury, 11,666 19,5OO 1884 Norwalk. 13,956 171OO S,1A The above figures will hardly be satis- factory to the average Waterburian, who expected that the figures would give us a population of 35,0O0. How ever, conservative people did not expect that the figures would exceed SS, 900 and they were not far from right. Danbury's percentage of increase was about e per cent, Waterbury's 5S and Norwalk's $ 23.

A. J. DeVos, the Hackensack, N.

This rival of the weather bur eau does not hesitate to predict Q year ahead. He says that this will be wet season, and that form June 2S till July 4, intensely hot, sultry weather will pre- vail, with violent thunder storms, clear ing up cool and bright on the fifth. Pre- dieting g thunder storm for the Fourth of July is pretty safe.

The late arrest of boy for bathing in the river has not reached the ears of the younger element. The other day when the sun was boiling with heat was crossing the Burnham street bridge and espied a half dozen naked boys sporting themselves, not in the impid waters of the Naugatuck, but in a slimy black pool which had escaped from 8 factory and had no outlet. If such boys have the typhoid fever it will not be because of the Middlebury milk they drink.

CLUB NOTES.
Prof. W. A. McAndrews has the club
in charge and has made, successfully,
every arrangement for their comfort.
The success of the Monarch excursion
was much promoted by the presence of
MIR. E. II. Hubbard of the Montana Cen
trial, who was untiring IN attending to
every detail that could render the trip
enjoyable.
Miss Vienna Dodge is noted as the
teacher of drawing in the state normal
school at Winona, MINI. She is a grad
uate OF Cooper Institute, N. Y, and has
travelled much.
The visiting educators are now well
versed in some western subjects and can
explain faro, tell all about Indian cos
tunes or deliver a lecture on the animals
of Montana. They are learning much.
Mr.. b. H. Langley came up from Hell
ena to ensure the Rocky Mountain club
the fullest facilities for seeing the sub
urbs of Great Falls. He returned
| with the party to Helena, where they
were to disport themselves i'll the Broad
water plunge bath yesterday afternoon.
The Misses McCutcheon and others,
from Winona, Mimi, are old acquaint-
ances of Mr.. Langley and thoroughly en-
joyed meeting him out here.
While at breakfast at the Park hotel
Miss Hadassah M. Fleming received a
card from one of the most prominent
miners Of the Belt region, asking for an
interview and the pleasure of a drive.
The kind invitation was not accepted for
want of time.
Several of the party spoke favorab!y of
investing in Great Falls real estate.
The "Daily Whacker," published by j.
II. Rishmiller and H. H. Frost, with a
good library and an occasional concert
prevent any cases of WEAKNESS. The
club is unanimous in its praise of the
Great Northern officials for courtesies
shown and speak kindly of the Montana
people in general. The TRIBUNE ex.
presses a hearty wish that the clubs ex-
~cursion may continue pleasant.

He subsequently added a saloon to his
other business.
All who knew him speak we'll of James
w. Matkin, whose death will cause sin
cdte regret throughout the state as we'll
as here. He had u bright intellect and
good memory. He had always q warm
greeting for the friends of other days
whether they had met with fortune or
adversely. He was a true friend and
never felt happier than when he was rem
dering a neighbor a good turn. He was
loyal from first to last to Great Falls and
joined readily in any movement for her
advancement. He retained kindly re-
gard for noble old Missouri, hut his af-
fections were entwined with Montana,
which he deemed the most favored state
in the American union. Many friends
will miss his genial smile, his hearty
grasp of the hand and his cheering voice,
now alas, stilled in death.

Contracts For the Western Extension to
be Let August LIST.
The TRIBUNE learns on the highest
authority that on August 1st the contract
for 1870 miles of the western extension of
the Great Northern will be let. The road
will start from a point on the main line,
a few miles northeast of Fort Assinni-
boine, in the Milk river valley, and will
proceed up that valley for a considerable
distance. The 1870 miles to be let will
take the road to the summit of the range
and that will probably be the extent of
the work for this season.
