Frank w. Soule of East Otis Dies O Lockjaw.
 Frank w Soule of East Otis, a boy g years old, stepped on a piece of glass a few days ago and his foot was badly gashed. Gangrene set in, and Dr Cal lender of Otis was called and, assisted by Dr E. H. Welch of Winsted, he ampu- tated the foot. The boy caught cold in his foot after the amputation and died yesterday morning of lockja
 James Hamil, employed as a paper maker in keeney Brothers paper mill in Manchester, narrowly escaped death Saturday. He was working about one of the large belts connected with the paper machine when a piece of felt, which he held in his hand, became caught in the belt and he was pulled | to the floor. His arm was badly hurt, but, besides receiving a severe shock, he was not otherwise injured.
 Willie Marquet, aged 10 years, was fatally injured late Friday afternoon at Red Hook, being run over by a Central New England train. Both legs were cut off close to his body. He was lying asleep on the track and was not aroused by the whistle. He was found asleep on | the track once before.
 On July a man was killed by the cars in Bridgeport. He was supposed to | be John Fitzpatrick of Ansonia and the body was sent there. Since then the relatives of John McNamara of Bridge port have had reason to believe that he was the man killed, and a disinterment of the body sent to Ansonia has proved this to be true.
 James Reed, go years of age, employed as brakeman on the "brick" express fell from his car and was killed near New Rochelle, Saturday night. The re. mains were taken to New Haven.
 John H. Hoyt of South Norwalk with a gang sawed down a huge elm into a ditch its branches caught Hoyt with loose earth to his neck, but W as quickly dug out by his companions.
 Willie Mulligan. year old boy, of Rockville, had a remarkable escape from death yesterday afternoon. While walk | ing along the railroad track near his home he picked up a railroad torpedo. Not knowing what it was the boy laid il on the track and pounded it with a stone. The torpedo exploded and the lad was knocked unconscious. He was carried to his home covered with blood from head to foot. Two doctors were summoned and the wounds dressed. Ii was found that the boys injuries con. sisted of a badly lacerated arm, two l deep cuts in the wrist of the other arm one leg horribly torn and several cuts ir the face.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At tlne CasIno.


 The casino will be opened this even- ing with an almost entire change of pro- gramme. The attractions are good ones and will make a most interesting and pleasing entertainment. The Elm city quartette, the Shelby brothers and by special request the repetition of "The Arrival of Sullivan" will be few of the new numbers. At the almost universal demand of the public Manager Pincus has reduced the price of admission to 15 cents lady and gentleman % cents. Max Arnold of the casino, will next season direct the play of "The Hustler, '' farce comedy by Lew Rosen, under the management of Thomas Davis, J. J. Rosenthal and William Keogh. "The Hustler" will commence rehearsals in New York about August 4, and will take the road about the 25th of the same month. Mir Arnold will, besides direct ing the production of the play, take a German sporting character and have charge of the stage on the tour. The best known artists in the profession have been secured to play different comedy roles. "The Hustler" will be seen in Waterbury some time during the fall when a welcome back will be extended to the favorite German comedian, who will be remembered as Eichler in the comedy, Daddy Nolan"
 Murray, of Murray & Murphy, ''Our Irish Visitors" so well known in Water. bury, is to abandon the stage and adopt mercantile life. Murphy will continue to amuse, and will next season take out s'The Silent Partner" the play in which J. B. Polk appeared when in this city last season.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Doran of New Haven, on Friday was fined $25 by his manager for indiscretion and back talk.
 Worcester, after losing seventeen straight games, managed to defeat Jersey City Saturday, the game being a tie at the end of the eighth inning.
 The Sporting Life says that much of Doran's effectiveness is due to his terrific speed, which comes from a pair of arms which are as finely developed as one could wish. He can thank his early work as an iron moulder in Athens, Pa, for his fine muscles.
 Boston relies upon Kelly to do almost all of the catching, New York on Farrell, Cleveland on Sutcliffe. When these men are not of the nine the chances for victory are greatly impaired, as far as their respective clubs are con- cerned.
 The Buffalos would have gladly given trial to Fred Doe of polo fame, who is doing great work as pitcher, but Fred wouldn't go. Doe once tried his hand in the New England league, but was not blooming success. He is full of pluck and has excellent judgment. Cotter, the great Waltham Pawtucket-Hart- ford polo rusher, has also developed into a DalI GOSSer, ana IS au eXCelLenG catcher and fielder.
 The Acme base ball club went to Mys- tic Saturday and played the local team. The Acmes were defeated by the score of to 1. Klobedanz pitched a good game but was poorly supported by the fielders.
 The Brass city and Athletic base ball clubs contested for $10 a side Saturday afternoon, on the Polo grounds, the former winning by a score of F to 13. To Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 We, the Greenfield Cricket club, here by challenge the Albion Cricket club to play a game of cricket for $50 side.

FREAKS OF THE WEATHER.

The Hottest and Coldest Morning OI
 the Season Last Week.
 The week which closed Saturday, and brings us almost to the middle of July, is to be noted for giving us the hottest and coIdest mornings of the summer. Tuesday morning July s, came in hot the mercury at a. m. marking 763 de grees. which was not only the hottest morning of the summer, but hotter probably, with but one exception, than any preceding morning here (at that hour) for at least a quarter of century. That day, too, was "the hot day" oi 1890. Per contra, Thursday morning, July 10, was an autumnal morning in it's temperature, the early morning mark being down to 51 degrees, which was the coldest since May 27. But the morning of July 12, marked a still lower temperature by 1 degree the figure for early morning being 50 degrees.
 This has not been equaled by any morning this year since May g. On that morning the morning the mark was 45 degrees at daybreak, and IS degrees at o'clock.
 Such weather is very trying to health, but physicians report no unusual num- Der of invalids.

FAruER swErNEY,s PICTURE.
Some One Surreptittously Secured 1t
 For an Advertisement.

For an Advertisement.
 According to the Middletown Penny Press, Rev Timothy Sweeney, well known in this city. lately had an inter- esting tilt with certain firm of photo- graphers. some cigarette manufacturers and retailing tobacconists.
 Father Sweeney is pastor of the Catho- lie parish in Portland, just across the river from Middletown. He is quite good looking and by some hook or crook the firm of photographers procured a cabinet picture of hlm and from it copied little likenesses of the size you see in cigarette packages, and sold them i to a cigarette firm.
 Father Sweeney was justly indignant when he heard his picture was serving the purpose of a chromo, and visited the dealer who was selling the goods. The latter was wholly innocent of any knowledge of the presence of the photo graph. The reverend gentleman then sent a caustic letter to the cigarette manufacturers, and they promptly re- sponded that they would insert no more likenesses of him in their boxes or pack ages. That amicably disposed of the matter as far as any circulation of more of his pictures is concerned, Eut as the state is filtered with those already sent | out, many of which cannot be recalled | the circulation has not wholly ceased.

Two young men in Iowa dressed up as ghosts and made call at the house of man who had always said that he believed he should drop dead at the sight of spook.
