across Main street and coilided with a
Hotel Andrews signpost on Elm street,
near the corner of Main. The boy was

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.
Charles Kench Under Arrest at Rocky
Hill.

Charles Kench, formerly of Water
bury, son of Thomas Kench who runs a
house near Middletown which has not Il
good reputation, was arrested there
Thursday evening and taken to Hartford
yesterday, charged with stealing $500 in
gold and a rifle, from hotel in Rocky
Hill, about two months ago. 1t is said

paid $50 in gold for a suit of clothes
soon after the robbery, and since that
time he has been hiding in various
cities. Young Kench will be arraigned
to-day before justice in Rocky Hill.
Chief Egan gave the tip to the
Hartford police which led to the arrest

Egan learned that Kench, senior, was
living near Middletown and so informed

o'clock which may result in charge of
murder to somebody's credit. The hoy

of a newly born female baby. Word

fled Medical Examiner White. He said

l am not surprised that the Watch
factory is to be closed for a month.
What has become of all the Waterburys
that have been turned out during the
past dozen years? 1t would seem as if
every man. woman and child in the
world was supplied with watches from
this and the many other factories. They
wear years and do not go out of fashion.
1t is conundrum that will do to go
along with the query of what becomes

The local branch of the order of "The
Golden Grail is no more and those who
were foolish enough to feed the vora-
ciOus monster the past two months are
out of pocket from $15 to $50 each. One
need not be philosopher to know that
payment of $40 or $50 cannot possibly
by any honest means be swollen into
800 in three, four, five or six months,
and the promoters of these cooperative
swindles and those who join them hop
ing to make an unfair profit out of those
who come after them, are lacking in
strict honesty. All these societies
promising large returns for small pay
ments received are, in my opinion,
swindles.

The ZodiacAl Night.

The curious phenomenon of the zodi.
acal light may now be seen in the early
morning skies a little before sunrise. In
this latitude it takes the form of a por,
ton of an ellipse whose longest diameter
is inclined somewhat from the perpen.
dicular, and may be looked for in that
part of the sky where the sun is about to
appear. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the suns rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re
volve about him at different distances.
1t has recently been suggested that these
ineteors are the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact, that
they play the same part in the solar sys-
tenn that the copper wire does in the con
veyance of electric energy from the
dynamo to the electric lamp.-New York

welded ut Last in a Cotton Patch.

About a year ago c. W. Strickland, a
young farmer, living about six miles
southwest of Paris, fell in love with Miss
Ida Porter, a charming young lady of the
same neighborhood. The lady's relatives
objected, but the young folks resolved to
elope. Mr.. Strickland got a license, but
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before a chance came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw it
and sent her away to Missouri.
A few weeks ago she came back. Her
relatives thought the affair was ended,
but the young folks still loved each other.
There were some private negotiations of
which her relatives did not know. An.
other license was procured, but the fact
was not published in the papers. The
same minister was engaged again. Miss
Ida Porter, who did not usually pick cot
ton, suddenly became very ind~ustriously
inclined, and concluded to help pick out
the crop. She went into the field and
began work. Pretty soon her big brother,
not suspecting anything, went to the gin
with a load of cotton, and about the
time he was gone Mr.. Strickland and the
preacher came along, and right in the cot.
ton patch the ceremony was performed
that made the blushing maiden and the
gallant lover man and wife.-Galveston

WILLIAMSBURG, o., Dec. ia big
find has been made near Nashville, eleven
miles west ofhere, by the village under
taker. Some years ago there died a
named Mrs. Mary Reynolds, who
weighed about 300 pounds at the time OF
her death, and was buried in a secluded
county burying ground. Last spring heI
husband died and was buried beside her.
The village undertaken was employed
this week to take up both remains and
move them to the cemetery at Nashville.
The body of Mrs. Reynolds was found tc
have petrlfed, and weighed nearly SOC
pounds, SO that it required the combined
strength OF a dozen men to load and
unload it from a wagon. Several hundred
visited the cemetery to see the remains,
which Appeared very natural to those who
knew her in life.

A winter in the South-the very words
c%onjure up delicious memories for those
who have been there. The bright sunny
skies, the dry bracing air and the warm
sunshine is in decided contrast to the
cold, bleak North.
The great state OF Texas is celebrated
as one great broad winter resort in itself,
but the following places are, perhaps.
particularly popular: Fort Worth, with
its mineral baths, healthful climate and
good hotels; Austin, the beautiful capitol
city; San Antonio, one of the few really
historical places in our country; Houston,
with Its blooming roses, oleanders aud
groves of oranges and lemons. and Gal
weston with its delicious sea breezes.
These are but a few OF the delightful
resorts OF this highly favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts of our rigorous weather, trans
ported by magic from the region OF snow
and ice to the fragrance of this summer
land, is now made possible and easy by

Entitled to a Good Sidewalk.

1t appears from the record of a recent
trial that al inebriate has some rights
under ordinary circumstances. Recently
a resident of Salt Lake City sued the Ger
poration for 5000 damages for injuries
sustained in falling on a defective sidewalk.
He was pretty trunk at the time he fell,
and he admitted the fact to the court. The
city set up a defense of c~ontributory negli-
gence. The plaintiffs lawyer laid down
the very plain and plausible proposition
that "a drunken man is as much entitled
to a good sidewalk AS is "A sober man and is
much more in need Of it." The jury
promptIy indorsed this statement.

A twelvemonth ago the feebleness of age
compelled him to abandon an active ca

sorrows for nearly half a century, was
dead, and he made his home with a son at
Evanston, Ills. Enforced idleness, follow
