CONNECTICUT MATTERS,
Changes Made in the Danbury Public
Building Bill.


A special from Washington says: Be-
fore reporting the bill passed by the SEN
ate, authorizing the erection of public
building at Danbury, the house commit
tee on public buildings made several i'm
portant changes therein. First. they re-
duced the limit of cost for the improve
ment from 500, 900 to 200, and they
also struck out the provis on making an
immediate appropriation for the con-
struction of the building. The effect of
this latter amendment is, of course, to
delay the beginning of the work as the
money will have to be provided in the
sundry civil bill prepared by the COM
mittee on appropriations, which may
not be done until next session. In sup
port of the bill the committee say:
Danbury is a manufacturing city in
the state Of Connecticut. A bill for the
erection of a public building at this
place was reported favorably in the last
congress. 1t has population at present
of 10000. Its postal receipts are over
SIT, 900. Your committee is of the opin'
ion that a public building should be
erected at this place.

tionary war. A similar bill was intro
duced in the 48th congress by Represen.

Can't Some Fisherman Beat Thiss

RIvERToN, April 1O.-A peculiar point
in natural history was illustrated here
this week. Last summer Edward Sickles
caught a young woodchuck, tanned it
and taught it many tricks. Late in the
fall the animal disappeared and its own
or concluded that he had fallen a prey
to hunters or thieves. What was his
surprise therefore one day this week to
see his chuckship walk demurely into
the yard a mere shadow of his former
self, and beg for breakfast. After eat.
ing his fill he performed every one of his
tricks without a slip, none the worse fol
alternating.

THE UPsoN NUT COMPANY.
Naye Decided TO Rebuild Their Works
In JTniOnYille.


KNOXVILLE, April 10.-The town
meeting held here Tuesday had the de
sired effect and this morning the direc-
tors of the Epson Nut company an
nounced their intention of rebuilding
their factory which was burned to the
ground last week. This is good news to
everyone in Unionville, for had the com
pany decided to build elsewhere it would
be serious blow to the place. The
company not only intends to rebuild but
will greatly enlarge it's plant and will
employ from one to two hundred hands.
The new buildings will be located on
the old site and will be of brick. Work
men will begin in less than a week to
clear away the ruins of the old structure
and work on the new factory will begin
at once. The company has decided to
manufacture only the smaller grades of
goods here, sending all the heavy work
to the works in Cleveland, Ohio. They
have always experienced considerable
difficulty in filling their smaller orders
but with the increased facilities will
have no further trouble in that direction.

SOME descendants of the mutineers
of the Bounty, living on Pitcairn ISL
and in the South Pacific, some months
ago boarded the barque Carrie Winslow,
which arrived at Philadelphia from VAL
paraiso recently. They had with them
q bundle of letters which they wanted
forwarded, and two boatloads of tropi-
cal fruit The latter they wished to ex-
change for any thing on the vessel they
could get, and -four, clothing, etc., were
given them. The islanders number one
hundred and twenty persons. They
said their only fear was that their
ocean home would become over-popu-
lated. 1t is only three and half miles
long and mile wide, and is incapable
of producing much more than enough to
supply the wants Of its present popula'

Middlebury correspondent writes :
The dam of the Naugatuck Rubber COM
pany at Longmeadow pond in this town
has been causing no little anxiety as, if
it should break away, it would do great
damage along down the valley into
Naugatuck and would certainly cause
loss of life. Moreover it is just above
the tracks of the New England railroad,
standing as a constant menace. Should
it go away in the night the result for
the railroad might be very serious, par
ticularly as the Washington express
both ways goes over the road at night
The late rains have filled the pond and
taxes the dam to its utmost, rendering
the highway near by hardly passable. AS
the Rubber company have sold their
upper factory, and have no use for the
water, it is stated that they and the New
England Railroad company are to re-
move the dam at an early date.
A strange scene was witnessed this
morning on one of Waterbury's streets
when two sons of Italy were trying to
gain possession Of a daughter of that
sunny land. One of the finest interrupt
ed the comic elopement and at the
police station this story came out ::
Giuseppe Girillo and Anna Dursiello
loved each other and Annals father con-
sented to the bethrothal Annals uncle,
however, favored another and it was he
who endeavored to steal away the
maiden. The lover interfered and as q
consequence the arrest. Circumstances
were explained at the station and the
loving couple were sent to the town
clerks office for a lisense while the re-
fused sutton was sent about his business.
The license was procured and the happy
pair were united. The uncle swears dire
vengeance and threatens the invocation
Of the law.
