The many friends and acquaintance of
Mr.. jeremiah J. Hart of No. A Orchard

wire worker of 81 Center street, will be
panied to learn of the death of his oldest
daughter, Miss Mary Jane, who died Sat-

part of the city and will be sadly missed

devoted member of the Sunday school
connected with St. Johns Catholic church

Angels of that church. She was a regular

Uunable te Run-Havoc Caused by
the Storm-The --latest News Con.
cerning the Recent Disaster.
BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 25.-There was more
excitement here to-day, owing to another
rise of the Housatonic river, caused by the
snow storm and melting snow. Consider
able apprehension was felt regarding the
dam, fears prevailing that more of the
walls of the dam would give way. The
waters, however, receded again and the
people Gained down. Conversative esti-
mates place the amount of damage to the
dam by the recent food at $3.50, 900, while
the damage to surrounding property will
swell the amount to the neighborhood- of
1926, 900. ....-s
The city is in darkness tonight, as far
as electric lights are concerned, owing to
the havoc caused by the storm of this
morning. The wires are in a seemingly
with outside towns by telegraph complete
ly and by telephone practically shut off.
Two poles, eighty-five feet in length, came
crashing down, one narrowly escaping a
house in its descent, and the other crash
ing upon the Huntingdon bridge. The
electric cars are almost hopelessly tied up
and will not be running again, in all prob
ability, for a couple of weeks. The storm
was very severe in the valley and many of
the inhabitants anticipated repetition of
the great blizzard of several years ago.
Snow fell in some parts to the depth of
six to eight inches.

fast as possible,a gang of six hundred men
starting to work on it to morrow morning.
1t is estimated that fully ten thousand
persons visited the ruins Of the Housatonic
dam Saturday and nearly as many yester-
day, many coming from New Haven and
Bridgeport. Engineer Powers of Holyoke
arrived last evening and is in consultation
with the Water company, and his advice
in regard to fixing the dam will probably
be followed. The Derby Silver company
have already placed an order for a large
steam engine with which to run their
plant. Other parties who will put in steam
are the Osborne & Cheesman company, who
employ 366 men; the Derby paper mills,
Birmingham Corset company, Star Pin
company, the Cornell & Shelton company.
the Shelton company and the Metallic Bed
stead company. The postal card works
are run by steam now, SO there will be but
little if any delay there.
Much suffering must ensue among the
operatives before the shops are again run
ming and the outlook is gloomy in the OK
treme.
This borough suffered more direct loss
from water than did associate villages.
Sterling Organ company estimate their loss
at $40, 900, Birmingham Iron company 3d.

opened last week at 81 500 and individual
losses are several thousand more. The

THE JOINT STOCK ACT.

A New Edition OF the Compilation
Brought Down to Date by r. G.
Beach.
Perhaps no book has been more in de-
mand by Connecticut joint stock corpora
tions, or has been more thumbed by bust
ness men in general for the information it
contains, than the little volume known as
"The Joint Stock Act of Connecticut" by
Beach, compiled originally by the late
John S. Beach. The original edition
was issued in 1855, and was
followed, as legislative revisions of the
joint stock laws required, by subsequent
editions until the fifth, which included the
session laws of 1884. To-day the sixth
gratifying to know that the work has not
been allowed to cease with the demise of
Mr.. Beach. On the contrary, it has been
carefully carried on by Mr. Frank g.
Beach, q member Of the bar and q son of the
former compiler, and is now offered to the
public in a new and more complete FORM
The new edition is revised and brought
down to include the session laws Of 1889,
with additional notes of decisions to date.
Il embodies all the good points of tho old
editions, and many new features of value
have been added. The excellent arrange
mont and indexing will be appreciated by
all who have occasion to refer to it. The
great aid that this little volume has afford
ed heretofore in the formation of corpora
tions in this state according to law, and in
defining the rights, duties, etc., of of6csrs,
directors and stockholders, win doubtless
cause quite demand for the new revised
work. It can be obtained of the publisher,

Many ValuabIes Taken.


The house of A. NJ. Rice, the dentist, at

cred. One of the neighbors eaid that two
men were seen standing about the house
about half-past o'clock, shortly after the
