Ii, Mayors Message Reviewed.
Gov BulkeIey and the Interest Of
Waterbury Considered.

WE have been carefully perusing the
w Mayors Message, and note with
pleasure the progressive spirit of the doc
ument. He very properly alludes to the
institutions of our city which have made it
famous, and with the keenness of the ex
perienced man of business he tells the
people that it is concerns like the WATER
BURY FURNITURE co of Grand street
that has made the name of Waterbury
we'll known the world over. Nothing con
tributes to the welfare of II city so much
rs u reliable concern that is always alive
to the wants of the public, and makes it
possible for them to obtain their goods at
prices as low rs they can be produced
anywhere in the wide world. The
WATERBURY, FURNITURE Co of Grand
street prides itself on this record, and if
his honor the Mayor did not mention
furniture in his message, he must be ex-
cused on the ground that he has the mis-
fortune of being II bachelor and not able to
appreciate u THIRTY PER CENT RE
DUCTION which we have saved to the
people of New Haven county in the last
six years. His honor may refer to Furni
ture in special message later on, when he
sees his oversight.
GOV BULKELEY and staff will visit
our city February 6, to attend the MIL
ITARY BALL, and, as our fine new block
will be completed about the 1st of March,
we would respectfully ask the committee
in charge to postpone the ball until We
give our grand opening, and the Governor
could attend both great events. We sug
Sest this, as we are anxious to give his eX-
cellency II good impression of our city.
We have reduced our prices in every de
partment, as we are determined to clear
out our storehouses before our new build
ing is finished. Now is the time to make
yOur purchases

this city. Detective Thomas Furloni
has been quietly working on the cast
since August lG, when Missouri trair
was held up by masked men In Robbers
Cut, near O.terville. Two weeks age
be located the bold bandits. Keeping
his own counsel and at the same time
holding the men under ,strict surveil,
lance, he finally completed web oi
evidence that warranted their arrest. Al
s o'clock last evening, in company with
two deputies, he proceeded 10 the house
OF Horatio S. Hines, q famer near El.
mira, and arrested him and his pal,
Frank Holman, n country sport and all
rouna tough. Hines attempted to show
fight. When he saw who his visitors
were he grabbed Winchester rifle from
the wall, but was disarmcd before he
could use it. The man wls securely
handcuGed and brought to this place.
1t was at first said that five men were
engaged in the robbery, but it now
seems that Hines and Hoffman, unaided,
held tip the train. While one covered
the engineer with his revolver, the
other forced the express agent, Avery,
to surrender to him two packages sup.
posed 10 contain money, but subsequent
showed that these ama.

What with the arrests, the trials now

not think it polite to present to the

or meeting with success even, should it
eventually be carried out, is poor, indeed
The object OF the mission OF Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien is, Of course, to raise
money to be used in furthering the pol.
icy OF the National League. 70 have
that object, if not defeated, at least
placed in peril by appeals for money
made without the knowledge or consent
Of those who feel that they have the
first right to say what shall be done with
money raised abroad for Ireland, is not
encouraging to the men who have suf.
fered imprisonment and loss OF wealth
and health in her behalf. At present a

Balfour, appear 10 be engaged in spelling
