 About 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning Officer Brickel discovered flames issuing from the roof of w. c. Austin's livery stable on Scovill street in the rear of Holohan's block. He at once ran to box 3S on South Main street but his key would not fit the lock. He rapped for assistance and in a few minutes Officer Thomas responded and an alarm was rung. Officer Brickel hurried back to the barn and aroused A. 4. Seymour, the hostler, who was asleep in the front office Thirteen of the sixteen horses in the stable were cut loose and rescued be- fore the arrival of the fire department. Several streams of water were turned upon the building and in a short time the flames were extinguished and the rest of the horses saved. The upper story of the barn was badly gutted. Five tons of hay, seven sleighs and several sets of harness were destroyed. The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary.

 Two persons, a man and q woman, were found nearly dead in a room at the Franklyn house, at Greene and Frank lvn streets, New Haven, early last even ing. They had come to the place on the night before and obtained room and probably for a whole day. They had registered as John Brown and wife.
 Yesterday persons about the house re- marked a strong Odor of gas on the second floor during the day, but little attention was given this until late in the afternoon. Then it became evident that something was wrong and Landlord Sommer bethOught him of his two lodgers on the second floor. He went to their room anG this time ths odor of gas was very pronounced.

They were breathing heavily and their bodies were cold.
 The police ambulance was summoned and the two were taken to the hospital. This was about : o'clock last evening and their condition was so critical that it was thought they would not live throughout the night. Neither recover ed consciousness and it was impossible to learn their identity. The woman's clothing was marked with some name, but this was scarcely legible.
 The woman died this morning and the man is not expected to live. It was learned that he was the driver of coal cart.

An InhumRn Husband and Father
 Sent to Jail.
 Thomas Connerty was arrested yester- day on complaint of his wife for assault ing her. This morning Mrs Connerty was loath to swear against her husband and said the cut she had on her mouth was received hy running against the door.

In the struggle he broke panels in two doors. A policeman was called who placed him under arrest. Meah has given but $25 to his family in 13 months.

TASTEFUL BRIDEGROOMS.

Good Stores Told of Men Who Were Afraid
 of the Marriage Ceremony.
 Ministers declare that in nine cases out of ten brides arc much moro self possessed than are bridegrooms when the. marriage ceremony is being per- formed.
 A shy, modest-looking little creature rObed in white will stand perfectly erect, looking the minister calmly and square, ly in the eye without for an instant losing her self-poise, while the big, blunt six footer of bridegroom by her side is pale, nervous and trembling. His f1n- gers are likely to twitch nervouslv, and he may even hitch at his trouser legs or twist corner of his coat skirt

 He got through it at last without do- ing or saying any thing ridiculous, in which respect he was luckier than another stalwart bridegroom of my ac- quaintance, who was so dazed and over- come that he held out one of his own fingers for the ring when the minister said: With this ring thee we'd"
 Another bridegroom I knew lost his head to such a degree that when it came for him to say: II, Horace, take thee, Annie, to be my lawful welded wife" he said in an unnatural;y loud tone: II. Mary, take thee, Horace, to be my lawful welded wife," and when the time came for him to in troduce his bride to some of his friends who had not yet seen her, he did it by | saying awkardly: "Ah er-Miss Carter, this is my wife, Miss Barton," calling her by her maiden name.
 Few men say my wife" easily and naturally the first time they use the words in public
 | A funny case was that of the badly rattled bridegroom who stared bla nkly at the minister until asked if he took "this woman to be his lawful, welded wite," when he started suddenly and hastily and in the blandest manner:
 'Ah, beg pardOn-were you speaking to me?"
 A village preacher says that he onoe married rural couple at the home o1 the brides parents in the presence of a large company of invited guests. The bridegroom was big, bony, red-faced young fellow who looked as though he could have fslled an OK with his fist but he shi veTed and turned pale at the beginning of the ceremony. and at iti close he fell down in a dead faint te the manifest annoyance of his bride who had been "as cool as & cucumber throughout the wholo ceremOny.-De trOit Free PresA -.-.-.--

An old Time Democratic Celebra- tion To-Niaht.
 Tonight Waterbury will witness one
 of the biggest celebrations ever seen in any campaign. The two Demosthenes, ex- Governor Thomas M. Waller of New
 London and Maurice F. Holohan of New York, will be present at City hall to ex-
 plain to the democrats of the city the | issues of the day. Mir Holohan arrived | in Waterbury this noon and was met by the committee and driven to the resi-
 dence of Patrick Holohan on Union street. Governor Waller will arrive to-
 night. If there are any two men who can infuse new vigor into inactive democrats they are Tom Waller. the
 little giant. and Maurice F. Holohan,
 the leading campaigner of York state City hall has been handsomely decorated and that standing room will be at a dis count goes without saying. At half
 past seven the American baud will leave Scovill's bridge on Baldwin street and
 parade to the center, escorting the voters of the fourth ward. The Cana dian band will perform similar service in the third ward. After the ratifica- tion meeting a parade will be formed near the park and hacks containing 150 invited guests will escort the two speakers to the Brooklyn dis trict. where Governor Waller will deliver a short address in front of Martin Hellmann's residence. From here the parade will cross the Washing ton street bridge, and at the corner of Washington and Baldwin streets Mayor c. R. Baldwin will make a short ad- dress. At the corn,r of Pleasant and Baldwin streets Maurice F. Holohan will make few remarks. The parade will then proceed up Pleasant to Pem- berton, to Bridge, to Dublin. ito East Main and from there to the ceLt 1T where the parade will be dismissed Houses along the lne of march will be illumi. mated, and it is safe to predict more red fire will be burned than ever before. The horse guards will form a feature of the parade.

THE QUESTION OF WATER.
Plans Suggested By the ssDemocrat''
 Favorably Received.

Plans Suggested By the "Democrat" FavorRbly Received.
 The plan suggested Saturday by the DEMOCRAT for obtaining additional water supply has occasioned consider able discussion and, we are pleased to say. nearly everybody admits that there is something in it. We leave it for the court of common council to pursue the investigations that the DEMOCRAT has begun.
 A gentleman who for eight years re- sided near the head of Hop brook writes few lines in favor of Quassapaug lake and condemns Hop brook, which, he says. runs through marshes and in close proximity to barnyards and farm houses which can be drained only into its waters. Besides this the stream fre- quently dries up Tn summer. Our corre- spondent adds: Not few are unable to account for the apparent Inconsistencies between the report of the commissioners and known facts.

 H. R. Patterson, agent for the Miner alized Rubber company of New York, who had an office over Lake, Strobel x Cos store, jumped the town yesterday afternoon. leaving many unpaid bills, considerable extent for advertising. The one of Prtterson's customers, who become ing suspiciouslthat all was not right, re fused to accept the goods:
 New York, Nov 1, lS90
 DEAR SIR:-Some goods have lately been returned;to us which you ordered, or alleged to.have ordered, through one II. B. Patterson, who secured our agency some time, ago. This man has turned out thorough reprObate. It is not un- likely that:ere long you will hear of him in a criminal court in your city, as, if we can make a criminal case against we will certainly do so, but it appears to us at present that he has put himself out side the pale of the law. From what our attorneys say it seems that this fel- low had been to you or at least to some of our customers, and asked them to re- turn the goods. He then perjured him. self by swearing that we owed him $500, whereas in fact we do not owe him one cent, he being heavily in our debt, to say nothing of his having gotten hold of some of our goods from our customers and stuck. to them, which, in itself, we believe creates a criminal offence.
 Yours faithfully,
