Heaven on Earth!
Waterbury Leading In The
Millennium.
MORE THAN HALE THE POPULA,
TON CAPITALISTS.

The showing which our local banks have
been making this week is simply astonish-
ing. 1t is the surest Indication of the in
dustry and managing ability OF our peo-
pie.
Tnere is no other city in the world of it's
size that can show IA, 1873 Bank De-
positors, and two banks to be
heard from.
Herbert Spencer, Gen Booth and the
worlds reformers can come to Waterbury
and get practical points. When we
doubled our capacity last spring by the
erection of mammoth establishment for
Furniture, Stoves, Ranges, etc, etc, some
people thought Waterbury could not stand
such place, but when, on an average, one
hundred customers week would tell us
after buying to "please make out the bill
while go to the bank and get the money,
we were philosophers enough to know
that the country was safe.
Everybody knows that people will come
where the largest stock is, and buying in
such large quantities we can always sell al
lower prices. Hence our own marvellous
growth. The masons and carpenters are
now ut work at the basement, turning il
into workshop, and our former wor
shop will be arranged for salesrooms.

v,in.low GLASS Eactori.s Shut Down

P1ITsBURG, Pa, Jan. 21.-Word has
been received in this city that nearly a
dozen window glass factories have shut
down on account of an overstocked mar
ket and low prices. The United Glass
Company has shut down all the factories
under it's controS and other outside fac
tories are expected to follow. This de-
preston is attributed partly to the fail
ure of the proposed consolidation to be
called the American Glass Company.

a cloudburst, passenger train loaded
down with human freight barely safe, and a
PORTION of freight train in creek, is what
was pictured 10 the eyes of the people of
Corning. on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad.
About a hundred miles east of Council
Bluffs and not great ways from Corning is
Plum Creek. Atdaybreak this little stream
showed no signs of going out of its banks.
At about o'clock dark. threatening cloud
moved up that section from the west
GIhe cloud, very low, seemed to be de-
scendinS as 1t Travelled, and when it reached
the outskirts of the valley it appeared to
drop to the ground. A short time after the
strange phenomenon appeared passenger
train came along heavily loaded. The train
took orders at the Corning Station aud pro-
ceeued on the journey to this city.
A mile west of Corning il crossed the
bridge that spanned Plum Greek. Seven
minutes later freight train followed. The
freight train was under good Roadway when
1t neared the bridge, and Engineer Powers,
with characteristic caution, looked ahead at
the structure.
To his horror he saw that an attempt to
cross the bridge meant death. He had mo-
ment TO act, but he was equal to the emer-
gency GraSping the throttle he reversed
the engine and called for brakes. A shud-
der crept along the entire train as the ele-
ments OF locomotion conficted. The train
Slackened speed materially, but Engineer
Powers did rot succeed in preventing a par
tlal wreck and he was forced to jump for his
HE.
In the twinkling of an eye he made the
leap Just as the big locomotive and three
ears fell with terrific crash into
the chasn. The rest of the train
held the track. The creek, only a
few minutes before minor stream,
was now swollen and carried away the
bridge soon after the passenger train
crossed: Engineer Powers In jumping
landed In twelve feet of water and, after a
thrilling struggle. escaped being carried
away by the current.-Times-D emncrat

TO CROSS THE OCEAN.
A Balloon Soon to BE Started on
Transatlantic Trip.

Balloon Soon to BE Started on
Transatlantic Trip.
To cross the Atlantic is tie enterprising
mission upon which a balloon will start
from Germantown within the next week or
two, says the Philadelphia Press. The
balloon will not carry any passengers, but
il is intended to pilot the way for monster
airship that will carry at least two voyagers.
The inventor of this new airship is Charles
p Fest of 1855 Lena street, Germantown.
Mr.. Fest has been working on the prob
lem Of aerial navigation for the past fifty
years, and is now convinced that he has
solved it. He is an eminently practical
business man, and works at his invention at
odd hours. He has tried every scheme of
aerial navigation that has been suggested
in the past decade and half, and has
reached the conclusion that all schemes of
propulsion by machinery are impractcable.
The air currents, in his opinion, form the
only motive power that can be relied on.
The balloon which Mr.. Fest has now pro-
jected is on the old principle Of the hot-air
ship.
The experimental machine that will be
started across the Atlantic is completed, and
is an exact model of the larger one that is
expected 10 carry over the inventor. The
hot air that will initiate the bag will be gen.
Grated from gasoline which is chosen on
accout of its enormous volatile proportions
and great lifting power.
In the completed machine the gasoline
Will be carried in rectangular tin can hold
ing exactly ten gallons. A small tube runs
from the can to an upright pipe about 3
inches in diameter and about feet long.
This pipe Is lined within and without with
asbestos. Ii passes up into the gas bag,
while the tin receptacle remains below.
The gasoline is ignIted at the tube that
passes into the pipe near the bottom, and
the flame shoots up the pipe to the top,
where 10 is arrested by q cap.
The bag is made Of a preparation of paper
and is rugged so that it cannot SWAY and
como in contact with the flame. This
flame will he constant, and experience
shows that the ten gallons will last lust
forty hours, or ten hours longer, according
10 Mr.. Tests calculations, than will be
necessary to carry the air-sbip across the
Atlantic. Mr. Fest believes that the bal
loon will make the passage in thirty hours.
The gas bag on the pioneer balloon
measures 22R feet III diameter. Under
meath the oil can has been suspended
copper buoy shaped like a big top ami
weighted at the bottom, so that it will float
in the water in an upright position. Ii is
surmOunted by an American flag and is sus-
pended by hook that will unfasten if it
comes in contact with the water. This will
be filled with directions to be returned. if
found, This will only become detached in
case of accident and in the unexpected
event of the balloon falling in the water.
In the large balloon for passengers it will
be made large enough to float the yOyagers
in case OF accident.

The Dog That Kept Up with the Train
During a Five-Mne Run.
Professor Star resides at Westfield. He
is ventrilo qust and great joker While
going home on a Central Railroad train yes
terday he brought his ventriloquial powers
into play. In the seat with him sat a dame
who had evidently been marketing in New
York. for from her basket came the odor of
strawberries and other fruits. The pro-
fessor peeped like little chicken, and it
seemed as if the sounds came from the
waman's basket The woman looked con-
fused and then alarmed. Had the
intense heat caused the eggs in the basket
to hatch? She evidently thought SO,
for she cautiously lifted the cover and
glanced In. But there were the eggs
just as she had placed them in the basket,
and her face wore a puzzled expression.
The professor now turned his attention to
young couple in the seat directly in front
of him. The young people were astounded
to hear a resounding smack which appeared
to come from their seat. The passengers
sitting in the immediate vicinity looked at
the young couple. The young lady blushed
deeply. aud the young man looked ANNOYED.
Then the professor initiated a barking dog.
and the barking could be heard above the
noise of the moving train. 1t kept pace
