There was sufficient rain, Friday after noon, to prevent the Waterbury base bali club from coming to Newtown to play the N. Y. B. & P. club at the picnic at St Patrick's grove and the same cause kept many people away. Yet, notwith- standing all drawbacks, the picnic was a success of which Fathers Donohue and Kennedy and all who assisted in the man. agement of the affair may we'll be proud. There was a large attendance, the games passed off well, there were no accidents to mar the serenity of the occasion and {, best of all, d goodly sum was netted. The exercises were opened shortly be- fore noon by a mass, at which the vari- ous uniformed societies of the church and the sodalities marched to the sanctuary and attended the sacrament in body. Afterward, the grounds were occupied by the merry throng and games, dancing and refreshments made the hours pass rapidly. The rain made it necessary to abridge the games, but some of the win- ners were as follows: The greased pig was captured and held, amid cheers and excitement, by Martin Blake; the three legged race was won by Martin Blake and James Norton, who easily came in ahead; the sack race was won by Frank Carroll. Dancing was kept up in St Pat rick's hall, to music by Bliss own band, until late hour. A neat sum was netted from the refreshments sold, chief among which stood the ice cream made by VIC. Johnson, of which many gallons were uSed

He's at it Againl

The other day, as old Mir Perkins was reading the BEE, an exclamation drew his wife's attention and she said, "Jona- than, what have you run against now ?' ''Well, I'll be shot, he replied, ''if HIN. Ayres isn't ut 1t again and do you know, Polly, he has hit on to the right thing, this time, for he is giving boots and shoes away" "Oh pshaw!" said his wife, ''you don't mean t!' "Yes he is, for he advertises to give away every twentieth pair" "Oh of eourse,' said Polly, but we never would buy 20 pairs of shoes, so we would get nothing" "You don't have to," said Jonathan, .'all you have to buy Is one pair, cause he says so iu his advertisement. He says he keeps q count of his sales and every one that is Number 20 he gives to the customer and I'm going to hitch up Dobbin the first thing in the morning and go down to Bridgeport and buy n supply of shoes for the boys and girls and see if I can't be lucky enough to get one pair for noth. ing"

Samuel 0. Glover,

Samuel C.. Glover, whose death had been daily expected for weeks, passed away Saturday, July 5, at the age of 5S. He had suffered for years with periodic attacks of rheumatism, which were ac- companied by excruciating pain and which grew worse with the lapse of years. More recently, these have been accompanied by complications with otb- CT diseases, rendering recovery slow and tedious. About year ago, when in Florida with his family, Mir Glover was prostrated by an attack far more severe than any that had preceded it and his life was for a time almost despaired of but he rallied sufficiently to be brought home, where he seemed to regain health and strength. He has been more feeble, however and this lack of vital energy caused him to succumb more readily when he was again laid low. He was unable to retain much nourishment or to rest we'll save when under the influence of opiates and required constant care and attention. A trained nurse was always at his side and volunteer watchers prof. fered their services whenever they were needed. At times, his sufferings were in- tense, but his countenance was unchang- ed and his features, as he lay in the cas- ket, looked as if in the repose of life. The fcneral was largely attended from his late residence in the Street, Tuesday afternoon at and the burial was in the village cemetery. Rev G. T. Lnsley pro- nounced the solemn words of the burial service and the bearers were W. L. Ter Till, W. N. Northrop, George P. Sanford, PhilO Nichols, Smith r. Glover, William II. Glover. The display of flowers was large and handsome and many handsome designs were noticed, including a large pillow with the single word Papa"
 Samuel c. Glover, a descendant of one of the few of the early families of New town whose name has descended to the present day, was one of Il family of five, of whom Henry E. and John, both of Dubuque, Iowa, and Mrs Meeker alone remain. Mrs Meeker Is on the ancestral farm in Hanover with her aged mother, who Is in feeble health. Mir Glover spent the greater part of his life on the farm, removing, few years ago, to a home in the charming old Street. About n dozen years ago, he married Miss Grace Blakslee, who, with son, Curtis, survives him. It is q singular fact that three of Mrs Glover's family have died on July 3, the day on which Mir Glover breathed his last.

The N. Y. B. & P. club played another exciting game of ball, last Friday morn ing, with the Woodbury club, before a good sized crowd. It would have been a close game, had not the visitors done so much kicking, which resulted in stopping the game at the beginning of the sixth inning, the score being 3 to in favor of the home team. The visitors had two out, with man on third base. He start ed to run home and as Collins, the catch ca, had the ball waiting for him between home and third, he ran about 12 feet out of line. Of course the umpire called him out, as the rules allow only four feet for base runner. The visitors walked off the field. They knew that they were beaten, so wanted to end it that way: N. Y. B. < F., 3 0 0-3 Woodbury, 0 O O. o 0-1 Owing to the rain, the Waterbury club did not come over to play the afternoon game at the St. Rose picnic, but the game will be played later on.

So often has New England stock been forced upward a few points, to suit some one who had shares to sell, by a report that it had been sold to the Consolidated, or that some other road had obtained control, that the public has become ex- tremely wary of accepting as truth any rumors regarding the road until they have been fully ysubstantiated. There are certain elements of plausibility about the latest rumored deal, however, which cause it to be accepted, in part at least, by many. New England stock has been rather slow of late and has dropped to IS or whereabouts, to take sudden rise to 51 as soon as it was announced by the , New York Times that the Consolidated had obtained control. The rumor is promptly denied at Boston, New York and New Haven, but the Times points out that such deal has been anticipated for some time and that it IS tacitly ad- mitted that negotiations are now going on, if not already closed. And the Times goes on to say that the New England property is virtually in the hands of the Standard Oil magnates. President Bost- wick of the New England, President Starbuck of the Housatonic and John b. and William Rockefeller, principal own ers, are all Standard Oil millionaires.
 And here is another gigantic fact. The | Rockefellers own great part of the
 stock of the Consolidated road. What
 more natural, therefore, than that these
 half dozen men, who own almost if not
 quite the controlling interest in two great rival roads, should wish to unite then l and cease profitless wars.
