Overrun with Rats.

The rat-plague in England, especially
in East Anglia, has assumed serious
proportions and farmers have been COM
pelled to thresh on. their wheat and
sell it, because of the multitude of rats
in the stacks. On a farm of $50 acres
1 500 rats have been killed since the
harvest, and on a farm of $50 acres
1000. The mischief is attributed to
two causes; first, the hslf-cultivated
holds. which are not permanently
farmed and which consequently serve as
$ harborage for myriads of rats and
mice; and secondly, the gamet eepers
obstinate and ignorant habit OF destroy
ING everything that they call vermin-
stoats. weasels and especially cats.
Cats in the country often take to a wild
life and though they make havoc among
the poultry and game, they also keep
down the rodent tribe. 1t Is dangerous
to meddIe with the balance of nature.

But despair is writ in her pale, sad face,
For she morns the heart and the love of old.

The ghost that forever haunts her breast.
And the frequent sigh speaks plain to me
That her aching heart is not at rest.

LAST NIGHTS STORM.
Wind and Rain Rage With Relentless
Fury over the City.

wilma ana Rain Rage With Relentless
Fury over the City.
The rain storm which prevailed so
vigorously yesterday broke with uure-
lenting fury over Waterbury last night
and continued undated for hours. At
times the wind was so strong that pedes-
TRANS could with difficulty keep upon
their feet. The wind had full sway and
it improved the opportunity by
tumbling people about, turning UNI
brellas wrong side out and doing other
annoying things.
The storm was at its worst all the
evening. In several places signs were
blown down and ruined. Out door dis
plays of merchants which had been for
gotten also suffered. Limbs of trees were
blown off and in many cases narrowly
escaped striking some weather beaten
pedestrian. Houses also suffered. Blinds
were torn off and hurled through the
air and the rain drifted through build
ings doing damage to the interior. A
large plate glass window in Hudson's
millinery store was destroyed as was a
window on the second floor of E. T. Tur-
ner's block.
Sergeant Cox watched the queer
storm from his lofty perch in New
Haven and said that it was of singular
origin. Starting in the northwest on
Monday, as a very tame affair, it grad
ually developed and ye; terday conferred
near Lake Michigan. In a zigzag course
it jumped the Allegheny mountains and
centralized off Cape Hatteras, thence
moving rapidly up the Atlantic coast.
To-day Sergeant Cox predicts clear
ing, colder weather; fair on Friday.

BLOCK Quilted By FIRE.

Badly Damaged,

ID. ID. Judd'S Building At Bristol
Badly Damaged.
BRISTOL, Dec 1S.-A fire broke out
about 6 o'clock last evening in the
wooden block owned by D. D. Judd &
Co on Main street, just north of the

on the lower floor by Miner & Lozier,
druggists, and Leland & Meder, tailors.

j. Wilson. physician and surgeon. On
the third floor was a closed attic. Here
the fire broke out. The engines re-
sponded promptly and soon had five
streams playing on the flames, but for
fully an hour the fire resisted their
efforts. The front of the building was
finally torn down, thus leaving the attic
open, and the fire was soon put out.
Leland & MedSr had $15, 900 worth of
goods in stock with $4,000 insurance :
Miner & Lozier had 81, 500 in stock and
$4,000 insurance Hubbell and Wilson
had $500 in stock each and no insurance.
The upper part of the building was
Quilted and the lower part drenched
with water. The building was worth
So, 900 and was insured for So 500.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Daniel McDonald's Salt Water Bath
in December.
Daniel Mcdonald, Fair Haven man,
had very narrow escape from drown
ing yesterday morning. He was not
very sober, and while wandering down
Water street mistook the sewer dock for
some thoroughfare, and walked off into
the water. With the unexpected bath
his senses returned to him, and he tried
BILE, however, and when he found he
was unable to save himself he exercised
his lungs little. Officer Dennehy who
patrols that section, heard the mans
cries, but at first supposed they were
made by brakemen making up a train,
and paid no attention. When, however,
they increased he investigated and
found Mcdonald in a state of collapse
hanging on to one of the spiles. Officer
Dennehy pulled the man out and rang
for the patrol wagon and McDonaldtwas
taken home.
While hunting ducks off Lords bay
last Friday, William Morgan of Lyme
froze both hands and arms badly and
narrowly escaped freezing to death. He
killed forty-thr, e ducks before he lost
the use of his hands, however.
Coroner'Mix was to have made an in
quiry, yesterday, into the death of Leo
nardo Deloichio, the Italian who was
fatally burned by some red hot iron at
the wire mill in New Haven last week,
but was unable to secure the attendance
of witnesses, and he will postpone his in
vestigation until to-day. 1t is claimed
that Deloichio's death was as much due
to congestion of the lungs as to the burn
ing, the body was buried without a per-
NIT, and the criminal carelessness on the
part of one of the workmen caused the
fatal accident. Coroner Mix will sift the
matter to-day.
