PROGRESSIVE JOURNALISM.

The American Tells of the Discharge
 of Henry w. French After Considering
 the Matter Seven Days.
 While the DEMOCRAT was waging a single-handed fight against the commit tee on claims the American, with char acteristic cowardice, said nothing, and even after the committee had been dis charged the fact was carefully excluded from our contemporary news columns. Yesterday for the first time it found voice, and attempted to show that had it not been for Henry w. French the city's finances would Le in very bad condition. The American does not make this statement as an editorial utter ance, however, it simply quotes an i'm aginary man as saying so and so. One of these days the DEMOCRAT will give in detail the work of this committee and even the vacillating American may be made to see things in their right light.

DEADLY GRADE CROSSING.
August Olsen Killed on the NaugatucI
 Road Last Night.

Road Last Night.
 A horrible grade crossing accident occurred at Naugatuck about o'clock last night. August Olsen, young Swede employed as hostler by E. H. Darlington, the grocer, was riding in company with a young lady. While driving down Water street, across Church street, Conductor Daly's freight train approached and the horse immediately started to run and became unmanageable. Just before the track was reached Olsen attempted to rein the animal to one side but unfortunately for him, his attempt resulted only in pull ing the horse on the track. The woman jumped from the carriage and was un- injured. Olsen remained on the seat. Engineer Hubbell endeavored to stop the train but it was too late. The en- zine crashed into the team, instantly killing man and horse and making kindllng W ood of the carriage. The un- fortunate mans body was mangled be- yond recognition. Medical Examiner Futile made the usual examination and turned the remains over to the relatives of the deceased.
 The last grade crossing fatality which occurred on the Naugatuck road took place at this same crossing. It was about two years ago and the victim was Milkman Cowan of Middlebury.

PROFESSOR BoNN,s RECITAL.
Musical Treat in the Opera House Lal Evening.

Musical Treat in the Opera House Last
 Evening.
 The piano recital given at the opel a house last evening by Prof Jno l.. Bonn was an artistic success and it is a pity that the treat was not enjoyed by much larger audience than attended. The programme was a long one, carefully selected, and Professor Bonn played with an abandon and brilliancy that called forth great applause. His touch is equally beautiful in the lightest staccato passages as we'll as in those re- qulrlng great power. He is a pianist well equipped for effective work, hav- ing fire, endurance and an excellent memory. His splendid performance of Scherzo from Senate, op B, by Chopin, and the difficult Hungarian Rhapsodie by Liszt was received with the greatest favor by the audience. The last num- | Der, especially, was marked by brilliant execution. The vocal numbers rendered by Miss Carrie Louise St John of Hart ford contributed largely to the success of the occasion. The lady possesses a rich soprano voice of great power and flexibility. Her first selection, an aria by St Saens, My Heart at Thy Dear Voice." was perhaps the best ren- dered and the lady agreeabIy responded to an encore. In the second part Miss St John artistically sang two songs
 'My Little Love" and 'Open Thy Blue Eyes," All of her selections were diff. cult, but were rendered with an ease that denoted the most careful training Prof Gibson acted as accompanist.

Justice Humiston of Cheshire Badly
 Injured.
 Justice Jesse NJ. Humiston of Ches- hire had an experience with an angry bull last Saturday which he would doubtless not desire repeated. The bull attacked him first while in a stall and, breaking loose, chased him out of the barn and about the premises. Before neighbors could overpower the brute the justice had one leg and four ribs broken.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
The ScOvill Tug-of-War Team Too Much For the Co G Team.

The ScOvin Tug-of-War Team Too Much
 For the Co G Team.
 The tug of-war match between Co G and the ScOvill tug-of-war teams came off last night and proved conclusively that no team can hope for success with out practice. Neither team was SO sure of victory that they could afford to neglect practice pulls. There is no ex- cuse to be made for Co G's defeat as the Scovill team proved beyond a doubt that the members understand their busi, ness and follow instructions. It is safe to say that no team in the state, not ac- 'pting the Kling brothers, can beat them. The anchor, Kiersted, proved himself a wonder, wli'e Lachance, Go G's anchor. was utterly useless. The blame for losing the match, so the back CTS of Co G's team say, rests with him. He was apparently not the same man who pulled on every other occasion, the members of the team say. However, it would not have made much diff erence how he worked, because the Scovill team is composed of men who can pull and the way they worke d last night was big surprise to every body. A match between them and the Kings would now be in order.
