Fell over the CIln.
 BRIDGEPORT. June 20.-Henry Man. vile, charged with manslaughter. in causing the death of George F. Leaven- worth of Roxbury, told his story to the authorities yesterday afternoon. He ad- mits the quarrel in the saloon, but says he only threatened to throw Leaven- worth down if he did not pay for the drinks, and not to throw him over the cliff. In making his threat he used a slang phrase meaning nothing by it. "We were good friends enough, said he, "when we left the saloon. At the first pair of bars we reached, a friendly wrestle was proposed, and we went at it. Leavenworth threw me. We had several more bouts and each time I went down first. We tussled along in this way until we got over con- siderable ground and were completely tired out. We started on again, and when we neared the river Leavenworth stopped and said ''I can throw you down this bank" He didn't speak as if he were angry or meant it, and ac- cepted his challenge, not realizing how near we were to the edge of the bank Leavenworth must have made misstep as the first I knew he went over and with him. knew nothing more unti the people found me and brought me back to consciousness"

Conductor Phillips Saves a Woman
 From Being Killed.
 Conductor Phillips of the New Haven & Derby road saved a woman's life near Orange this morning. The early train on the extension and the New Haven & Derby regular met at the station in Orange. Conductor Phillips, who was in charge of the former, while waiting at the station saw a woman step on the track directly in front of the regular, which was drawing out. The woman was unconscious of her danger. Con. ductor Phillips sprang from his train and dragged her from the track just as the engine whizzed by. She was terri bly, frightened but uninjured. In the meantime Conductor Phillips train started off without him but he succeeded in boarding the rear car after hard run of over one hundred yards.

 Waterbury public building is as far off as ever, and the chances of getting the appropriation seem rather slim. There's one thing, thank goodness, Meri- den hasn't got to worry about in this hot weather.
 It is stated on good authority that the inmates of the asylum for the insane and the industrial school at Middletown will not be counted with the population of that city. Meriden always counts the re- form school boys among her best cit izens.
 Postmaster Dryhurst yesterday re ceived word that Meriden has been made a first-class office, the same as Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport

POLICE COURT.

Out of Work and Discouraged, Thomas Seery Breaks . Plate Glass Window.
 Joe Mcdonald indulged in one of his usual trunks yesterday and attempted to do up Thomas Erwin, an employe of the Smith & Griggs Manufacturing com pany. When arrested he made strong resistance. This morning he was given dose that will keep him in New Haven for the summer. Ten dollars and costs on each complaint for assault, drunken ness and resistance was the punishment.
 Thomas Seery was arrested last night by Officer Brickle for smashing the large plate glass window in Harvey Brothers pool and billiard rooms. Seery for the past two months has been with out work and only week ago returned from a trip through New York state. He was unable to procure employment and to drown his misfortune has been drinking pretty hard. Last night about o'clock as last resort he visited the selectmen's office and asked to be com mitted to the town house. Selectman Boughton told him he would send him in the morning or he could walk there last night. Seery is afflicted with the loss of one leg and said he wanted to be sleep and nothing to eat. MT Boughtor told him it was impossible tc comply with his desires. Seery then said that he would go out and smash plate glass window and thus secure his commitment to jail. Int selectman paid no attention to thii threat as he considered Seery more sensible man. He left the selectmen'. office and started toward the corner al Exchange place. When opposite the saloon of Harvey Brothers he stood for { moment in doubt, and then raising ont of his crutches struck the window twice destroying it and breaking large pic ture on the inside. He did not try tt escape, but accosted the officer when h, came to arrest him, telling him that h, did it to be locked up. A reporter visit
 ed hiln in his cell and all he would say
 was that he had his choice of being
 pauper or a criminal and he prefefTet
 the latter. Seery has always been
 steady, sober man and worked for som
 time for the Scovil Manufactur
 ing company. He was at on
 time prominently identified with tn Knights of Labor and was well read il
 the statistics of that order. He ha been discouraged since his return iron New York and this probably led to hi . unfortunate act. This morning in cour . he could not remember what had take place and was given thirty days wit
 costs in iail,

NauHatuck Town Laborers Will Be
 Paid Two Dollars a Day.
 For some tune the town laborers in Naugatuck have been receiving g a day. A few weeks ago a petition was circulated to have the pay reduced to $1.5O per day. This awoke the labor element and as a consequence a town meeting was called to settle the matter. It was voted to test the matter at the polls by the check list. Accordingly the polls were open from 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon until 9 last evening. It was literally battle between capital and labor, in which the latter was victo. rious. Five hundred and sixty votes were cast, those voting to sustain the & day numbering 366 and those opposed 194

II does not rain many days in Nice. but
when it does come down it down
for keeps, says the Detroit Free Press.
Strange as it may appear. there is n greater
rainfall in Nice during the year than in
London, which IN considered the wettest
city in the world.
In London II keeps up a constant
drizzle for many days, while in n &c MS
much water VIII come down in three days
as comes down in London in three
months. +
When it rains in Nice the CITY has
squads OF men to 10 along the streets
seeing that the cutters are kept clear SO
that the immense amount of water that
tails hns a chance to run OFF.
These men have short poles with a
a bunch of brushwood tied at the end of
them, with which they sweep the debris
from the cutters and allow tho water to
run.
But the odd thing about the gutter men
is the way they have their umbrellas fixed.
Every man has an umbrella, and as he
uses both hands with the pole he natu-
handle of the umbrella comes down his
back and y held in position by q small
rope which is wound a couple of times
around The waist and then M higher and
finally comes over each shoulder. The
umbrella stays in place in the strongest
wind, and protects the man as he walks
along sweeping away the sticks.
IL is rather u funny sight to see a regi-
ment of these men slowly walking along

automatic umbrella fastened over him.
