GOT RID OF THE BULLET
Arter Carrying It Twenty Years in
 One Of His Legs.

Gustave Wilson is a Bohemian, who lives in Bridgeport. An operation per formed on him Tuesday discloses an in teresting story. Wilson served in the Franco German war, and at the battle of Metz in 1870. received bullet wound just above the left knee. The ball lodged in the leg, and although the at- tending physicians probed for it they were unable to extract the bullet. The ball became encysted, the wound healed and Wilson was finally discharged as cured.
 The bullet never troubled him until Tuesday, when he wrenched his knee and began to experience severe pain. Dr Bragg of East Bridgeport was sum. moned, and when the patient indicated the portion of the leg where he expert enced the pain the doctor made an in. cision in the flesh. The knife entered only two inches when the bullet was en. countered. and Dr Bragg removed it with his forceps without difficulty. The pain instantly ceased after the removal of the ball. and the patient can now move about without difficulty.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Fall of an Elevator in Douglass
 Candy Factory, New Haven.
 The elevator at the candy manufac- tory of B. H. Douglass & Son in New Haven. fell with terrible crash late yesterday afternoon, from the fourth floor of the building, carrying with it several hundred pounds of candy all packed and ready for shipment. An employe of the firm had just stepped off from the elevator when the accident happened. The safety clutches on the side of the elevator from some unfor- seen cause refused to work properly and the elevator never stopped in it's descent until it reached the basement. Fortu- nately no one was injured.
 P. J. Cronan, the paper box manu- facturer of New Haven, who is occupy ing a cottage in Madison and who is ill, took an overdose of laudanum by mis- take a few days ago. Dr Aver, who was visiting patient in the vicinity, was called and soon relIeved him from all danger.
 NJ. Marcom and D. Leahy of East Ber- lin, secured lodgings at the McDonough house, Middletown, Tuesday night and at 3 a. m. yesterday morning the occu- pant of the adjoining room detected the odor of gas and notified the night clerk. Maroon and Leahy had blown out the gas before retiring and when removed from the room were unconscious. They soon recovered.
 The express train on the valley road from New London, struck and in stantly killed a cow near Middletown yesterday morning. It was a narrow escape from throwing the train from the track.

A Spot Commanding a View For

A Spot Commanding a View For
 Miles Up and Down the Valley.
 How many are there in Waterbury who have ever climbed to the summit of what is known as "Pine HilT Prob ably not one in five of the towns 33,000 inhabitants know of the natural beauties of this unoccupied spot overlooking and almost within the heart of the city. And yet this rocky old hill commands the best view obtainable of Waterbury and the surrounding country.
 Last Sunday a DEMOCRAT reporter climbed the hill and was we'll repaid for his labor. Entering the lot near the corner of Dublin and Bridge streets the ascent is made by tortuous paths, we'll worn, through shrubs of ash, until the first landing is made upon rocky plat form half way up the hill. At this point two young ladies were met re- turning with arms filled with golden rod. A little further on, beneath the shade of a friendly tree. is a young man, divested of coat, reading a novel. To the left Is an old dry we'll five feet deep and in diameter the same. Below, to the north and east, the view is unob- structed, East Main street, Dublin street and the river near the Meriden road depot forming pretty picture. Further away can be seen North Main street and its tributaries, with 'Eong hill' rising | to the horizon.
 Another walk of five minutes and the summit of the bald old mountain is reached. The view is magnificent. The whole town is spread out to view, not a single obstruction casting shadow over the pictures. Away in the distance be. tween West Side hill and Valley View park can he seen the white church spires in Watertown. Further to the south west Middlebury is seen rising above g depression in the hill. To the south can be seen Simonsville and the Naugatuck river as it meanders away out of sight To the east Dublin street, St Joseph cemetery and the hills leading to Pros pect meet the eye. Turn winch way you will the view is unobstructCd fol miles around.
 And who is that climbing the old pine tree just over the summit? The reporter draws near and recognizes well-knowr railroad man employed at the Nauga' tuck station. Some of his friends haC ''stumped" him to plant a flag on th' hill and here he is fastening an umbrella cover to the highest branch of smal tree. The expression on his face a meeting a reporter up among the clouds was comical. On the southern slope number of Italian bootblacks were sun ming themselves, and lower down, child ren from the streets near by, played il the grass.
 Every pleasant Sunday many visitor climb the hills to breathe the refreshing breezes that play there even when th' mercury is up in the nineties. It is grand place for public park, the mail entrance being from Dublin street oppo site the Meriden & Waterbury depot.

STRIKE AT LEErE,s ISLAND.
Five Hundred Quarrymen Refuse to
 Work


 Work.
 LEETE's ISLAND, August 2S.-The fact that there has been one of the largest strikes ever held in this state in force for nearly a month without having at tracted attention or become known to but few persons directly interested in it is surprising to say the least. The strike in question is among the quarrymen employed at John Beatties Leete's island quarry, and at the present time over 800 men are on strike, The strike went into effect on the eighth day of the present month. The strike embraces all the men employed in the quarry, sJonecutters, driilers, derrick men and laborers. The stone cutters are on strike for nine hours a day instead of ten hours which they worked before they went on strike; and the drillers, derrick men and labor CTS are striking to obtain a uniform price for their work. They want 20 cents an hour every hour they work. The men, previous to the strike were paid according to the work they per | formed. Soma of them have been able to earn from $2 to $2.5O a day. Others have not been able to earn as much, hence the strike. If the firm give in to the strikers the men who have been earning the most money will be obliged to work for considerably less money. A large part of the men employed in the quarry are Films and Italians, with goodly mixture of Swedes, who are very poor quarrymen and whose princi- pal work is to haul heavy chains. The men employed in the quarry purchase all their groceries in the store of the company. The men are allowed to darw all they want, so long as they do not draw in excess of their pay. By working the eight days of this month overtime they have balance in the store which they can draw to. Since the strike they have been living on the com pany, but as soon as they over draw their account they are obliged to get up and get. The houses that they live Tn are owned by the company. Mir Beattie is at present in Scotland for his health His business is in the hands of his sons who say that they will not give in to the strikers under any consideration. Work at the quarry is completely at a standstill. Not man is working and the company are losing money rapidly, as they have several large contracts on hand. The firm is the largest quarry company in New England and contiol a territory of several square miles.

FREAK OF 4 HAND.
Blown Through Smoke-Stack and
 Caught on Q Rod.

Blown Through Smoke-Stack and
 Caught on a Rod.
 Friday, June 20, Frederick Miller and David Heller, two employees at the fur mace at the rolling-mills. were killed by premature explosion of Hercules pow. der while blasting out salamander from the bottom of the furnace, says the Bra gil Times. Miller was standing directly over the drilled hole at the time of the explosion and was terribly torn and dis figured. Both arms wore blown of, but one was found. Every effort to find the other arm proved fruitless until month later. The workmen saw an object clinging to one of the stay-rods that help to support and keep in position the stacks on the top of the furnace Through curiosity they climbed to the top and they saw sight that not only filled them with horror but with wonder There in full sight of all was a mans hand, with only the stub of an arm at tached, tightly clasping the rod above mentioned. There can be no doubt but that the hand is that of the unfortunate Miller. The only theory Known for the strange freak of the bodyless hand is that the hand was blown out tho top of the high stack, and in coming down the muscles, still active, contracted when the hand struck the rod and fastened to 1t with deadly grip. From the posi-. ton in. which Miller was standing the hand could not have reached the posi-. tion 1t occupied other than in the above manner. The muscles could not have relaxed much after first contracting else the hand would have fallen.

DROWNED IN THE CONNECTICUT
Pathetic Accident Near Saybrook
 Yesterday Afternoon.


 Yesterday Afternoon.
 MIDDLETowN, August 2S.-A pathetic double drowning accident occurred about a mile above Goodspeed landing yesterday afternoon, and as a result father and daughter found a watery grave. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the schooner Farmer came up the river, Captain Thurber in command. The river was as calm as a mill pond at the time and the great sails of the schooner Tapped idly, there not being enough wind to keep them filled. The crew were busy at the bow of the boat and the captains 1S-year-Old daught CT was at the stern.
 Suddenly a scream was heard at the stern and the captain and crew glancing in that direction saw no one. One of the members of the crew remembered having seen the captains daughter at the stern only few moments before the scream was heard. Quick as light ing he rushed to the stern followed by Captain Thurher. As he reached the stern Captain Thurber was mortified to see his daughter struggling in the water a considerable distance from the vessel. He jumped overheard and swani toward his child, with long powerful strokes The girl although able to swim was exhausted when her father reached her. With one hand he held up the girl and struck out for the vessel, but before going far his strength gave out and both sank beneath the wave,
 The schooner was being lowed by the tug Farragut and as soon as possible an effort was made to recover the bodies but without success. Captain Thurber was 50 years old and lived on Staten 1s- land. He had only recently recov- cred from n long illness or he would have been able to save himself and child. The girl was Is years of age, very pretty and a general fayorite with the

NAuGArUcK RAILROAD QUARRY
Over goo Tons of Rock Raised With
 n Single Blast.

The largest blast ever made in Litch- field county was set off in the quarry of the Naugatuck railroad company, at Burrville, the other day. The depth of the holes drilled in the rock were II feet, , inches, and the holes were filled with a generous allowance of good powder. The discharge was made with the aid of an electric battery, and a mass of rock of more than two hundred tons was lifted out by the discharge. The i'm mense result attained was a surprise to the quarrymen themselves, who did not anticipate such an upheaval. The larg- est rock weighed about seventy five tons, estimated, and it was over fifteen feet long, ten feet wide and eight feet thick. This immense stone was thrown com pletely out of the seam. The blast was what is known as a seam blast. This quarry is a rich and valuable one. It has been worked for about nine years, the granite being used for abutments and bridges all along the road.

Several searching parties have been securing the ravines and valleys, but as yet their party out Tuesday discovered foot prints on the mountain side leading down into a ravine, and as the descent here is par ticularly dangerous it is thought that he fell down the slope and was so badly in- jured that he could not proceed farther.

A West Haven Enterprise Falls.

Plans for d new manufacturing plant to cost $100,000, and to be located in West Haven, were publishdd few weeks ago. The articles to be manufac- tured were to be ornamental brackets. It turns out, however, that Grldley, the originator of the scheme, was unable to raise sufficient funds and the whole pro- ject has fallen through. It was rumored yesterday that Gridley had left town,
