not sign him for the reason that the
Brooklyns have eighteen men, including
six pitchers, under contract.
Few people are aware that Roger Con-

clean home run. 1t happened in this

Harlem at church picnic not a long

silver ball and Roger was to make the
presentation speech. In introducing Mr.
Conner, the chairman told of his won
derful feats with bat and ball and the
crowd broke forth in cheers. When all
was silent Roger stepped forward and
made very pretty bow, but unfortu-
nately forgot what he was to say. He
glanced at the floor, then at the ceiling
and then, spying an open door, beat
hasty retreat. Roger is more eloquent

in base ball in Waterbury is on the in

between some of the teams that it
would pay some financial hacker to select
at least four teams to compete in a series
of games for a medal or purse. There
are four really good teams in the city,
the AGNES, Rose Hills, Brass Citys and
Co G. A series of games between these
would draw crowds to witness the con-
test.

THE WORK OF a F1ENp.

Rosa vigeant Awakes In Great
Agony to Find Herself SprInkled
with Strong Acid.
A fiendish attempt to dis6gure and
probably kill an estimable young wo-
man, was reported to the police this
morning.
Miss Rosa vigeant is a progressing
siding with her parents at 15S Sonth
Nam street, in the south end of the
block directly opposite the DEMOCRAT
office. Her sleeping room is in the third
story and is lighted by two small win
dows facing the street. About 2 o'clock
this morning the young woman awoke
in great agony, the sensation being
a terrible burning pain in her
awoke a stream of the fiery liquid fell
upon the bed, scattering ON the already
tortured woman. A ten year old sister
was also covered with the acid, her arms
being badly burned. Miss Vigeant
screamed for assistance and aroused the
household. An investigation was made,
but no trace of the perpetrator of the
foul deed could be found.
A ledge about one foot in width runs
along the lower edge of the French roof
of the building, just beneath the win
dows of the third story, and it is believed
that the vitriol thrower escaped through
an adjoining window or to the roof.
Miss Vigeant says she heard foot
steps after the acid was thrown the Sec
ond time, whether upon the roof or the
ledge beneath the window she is unable
to say.
The young woman's injuries are of a
painful though not serious nature, and
fortunately none of the vitriol touched
her face. Her arms and body are
burned and she is still suffering from
the shock. The injuries received by
Laura, the little girl, are slight.
This morning the police was notified
and an investigation is being made.
Miss Vigeant knows of no motive for the
crime. In the block several families
reside, nearly all of whom have furnish
ed rooms for rent, but Miss Vigeant
knows of no offense that she may have
given to any of her neighbors.

Land Deed Recorded Nearly Ninety
Years Ago.
In looking over the old town records
yesterday j. +. Duncan, clerk for Town
Clerk Madden, came across a deed of
land, which is an interesting document.
1t is a deed from one John Nichols to
Stephen Judd and reads as follows:
Know all men by these presents, that
1, John Nichols of Waterbury, in New
Haven county, taking into consideration
that all mankind sent into this terrestrial
world were (by nature) entitled to the
equal enjoyment of water, earth and
air, until those pestilent words, inc and
thine, were introduced by Cain and
Abel in personal property and adopted by
Abraham and Lot, which produce an
actual division of their real estate, by
the removal of one over Jordan into the
plains, whilst the other remained in the
hill country, whereby Jordan became a
line between them, from which period
the tenure of land has generally been
regulated agreeable to the several con-
situations holding jurisdiction thereof,
and by virtue of which under providence
l possess in fee simple q small landed es-
tate while my INDECENT neighbor hath
not place to lay his head. Conscious
of these facts and from motives of BEN
evidence, duty and charity, l do
convey unto stephen Jud d.
my neighbor as aforesaid, and unto
Sarah, his wife, the following message
or testament of land lying in Waterbury,
aforesaid, at a place called Abrigador,
in the first society: Beginning at a heap
of stones, my corner joining the high
way that leads to Columbia, and runs
southwest 10 rods to a heap of stones,
then northwest 6 rods to q heap of

north on highway west on my own land
and south on the heirs of Jonathan
Baldwin, deceased, or common land, to
be by them quietly and peaceably en-
joyed during their natural lives, and
then to descend in fee tail to Elizabeth
Judd the eldest daughter to said
Stephen, or Sarah, if she shall to occu-
Ply and improve the same; if not to
such of her brothers and sisters as she,
the said Elizabeth shall choose to resign
the same unto, or to her the said Eliza
beth's heirs. And l, the said grantor,
do hereby convey the above described
premises with this positive and express
condition only that the said grantee

shall not survive the said Stephen and
Sarah theirs to descend to their next
oldest surviving daughter and to her
heirs to have and to hold the above
granted premises in the manner afore-
said. In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and seal this fourth

AFTER MANY YEARS.

Permission Given for the Removal
of the Old johnson House.
On the 21st of last month Mayor Bald
win wrote a letter to John McGill and
F. p. Leavenworth of Petersburg, Va,
the owners of the old rookery known as
the Oldest house in Waterbury, on North
Willow street, asking their permission
to cause to be removed the building,
which is an eyesore to the fashionable
Yesterday Mayor Bald
win received the following reply:
Petersburg, Virginia, Aug 4, 1890.
The Hon c. r. Baldwin, Mayor, Water
bury, Conn:
Dear Sir-Your cour-
teous letter of 21st ult would have had
earlier attention but for my absence
from the city.
We regret that a sentiment should
have made us retain the old colonial
dwelling so long as to bring upon us ill
will, and even encourage the commission
of crime by the people of Waterbury,
whom we regarded as peaceable and
law abiding.
We prefer to manage and control our
property ourselves, but since neither Mr.
McGill nor myself can conveniently
visit Waterbury during the next week or
ten days, we here consent, and give per-
y
the old dwelling at the proper expense
of the city of Waterbury, reserving for
ourselves a couple of the solid oak
beams like the one we gave Mrs F. j.
Kingsbury. Doubtless Mr. F. j. Kings
bury will store it for us for a few days
until we can have it worked up.
Sundry statements lately made in the
public press, of which copy was care
fully forwarded us, either through NAL
ice or gratuitous insult ought to be cor
rected. We have vaguely heard that
never yet had an offer for it. 1t was
stated that the assessors had imposed all
the taxes that the property would bear,
and that something else must be done to
get control of it; that it was subject to
incendiary fires, &c. We have paid for
more than a hundred years upon this
property, taxes, imposts and charges
just and unjust, of one sort and another.
Our father and grandfather before us
gave every encouragement to man.
ufactures and DIR Frederick Leaven-
worth with two partners founded a prin-
cipal branch of the rbass industry of
Waterbury. We still retain a much
taxed interest in some business enter
prises there, with which, so far, there
has been no meddlesome interference,
but the home of our family scenes to be
a"Naboth's vineyard to the nelghbor-
hood, which we must not be allowed to
retain.
With full appreciation of the cour-
teous manner of you requests, we re-
main, respectfully,
Your obedient servants,
FREDERICK p. LEAvENwoRTH,
II. L. MCGILL.
Now that Mayor Baldwin has secured
the owners permission to remove the
building it is probable that the property
owners directly interested in the matter
will furnish the necessary funds to COM
plete the work of demolition. The de-
struction of this house is not an i'm
provement calling for an expenditure of
public money.

BUTTON sHoP SHUT DOWN.
Eighteen Turner'S Dissatisfied with
TheiT. waues

Eighteen Turner's Dissatisfied With
Their Wages.
Eighteen ivory turner's at the Water
bury Button factory, went on strike yes
terday, and last night the shop shut
down.
The grievance of the men is that so
much of their work is rejected that they
are unable to make fair days pay of
late, the most expert being unable to
average sic a week. To finish the work
better than they have been doing would
require much more time and conse-
quent lessening of wages, Hence the
strike.
Superintendent Smith has advertised
in New York and Springfield papers for
help, but experts in this line of work are
scarce, and it is doubtful whether the
places of the strikers can be filled.
