coNcoRDIA CONCERT.

Handsome Sum Melted For the Singer 8
+ of the Society.
A large audience attended the benefit
concert of the Concordia singers, in the
opera house last evening, notwithstand-
ing the intense heat. The society was
assisted by the American band, Miss
Jennie Granniss, soprano; j. w. Parsons,
fiutist; r. K. Gone, violinist; Albert j.
Blakesley. accompanies.
The society rendered four songs, one
of their selections being '.Erinnerung''
the song which will be given at the
coming national saengerfest in Newark.
This is very difficult composition, but
was rendered in very creditable man.
ner. The American band and Mr. Par
sons rendered several excellent selec-
tions, and the singing of Miss Granniss
was much enjoyed. Her first selection
Gounod's cave Maria" was sung
under difficulties owing to a misunder.
standing between Mr. Cone, the violinist
and Mr. Blakesley, who played the &C.
compartment. 1t seems that the latter
omitted bar in the introduction
which was long, and Mr. Cone, not un-
derstanding the situation, did his best tc
render his part and the result was 8
combination that almost spoiled the
effect of Miss Granniss' singing. With
the exception of this every number OF
the programme was rendered in excel
lent style.

CAMP DIVORCE CASE.
why the Attempt to Settle Out of Court
Failed.

FaIIeus
The Camp divorce case is still occupy
ing the attention of the superior court.
Ex-Congressman Kellogg said yesterday
that when a settlement was talked of
last week, the defense was ready to
settle by giving Mrs Camp one-third of
the property as they value it, their valu-
alton being about SIS, 900 or $1,000, or
about $1,000. Attorney O'Neill, how
ever, would not settle for less than a
third of the valuation he has placed
upon it, which is about $40. 900, or about
double that amount.
Mrs Pearsall, the CO respondent, was
present in court yesterday, as was also
Attorney O'Neill, counsel for Mrs
Camp, who was not present. Exon
gresham Kellogg, Judge Cole and
Lawyer d. w. Webster were on hand
in the interest of Camp and Mrs Pear
sail. The defense produced d number
of witnesses to testify to the value of
| various pieces of property in Waterbury
in which Camp holds half interest.
Later Camp himself was put on and
testified abont some of the points raised
in regard to his property.
When the case was resumed to-day
Mrs Zophar Pearsall, daughter-in-law of
the correspondent in the case, was
| placed upon the stand. She testified that
she went to Jacksonville, Fla, with Mrs
Pearsall and that Mr. Camp went along
as nurse. Nothing improper occurred
on the trip. At II 80 O'Clock recess was
taken owing to the great heat.
| It is said that a number of witnesses
will be introduced tomorrow who will
testify that they had received offers in
money to testify for the plaintiff in the
case.
In his testimony Camp said that his
wife deserted him and went to Bridge
port to live with her brother in law,
John d. Carpenter, a gambler. He said
that Carpenter ran policy shop in
| Waterbury at one time, and that he
usually came from New York on Sun
days, and the books of the business were
written up at Mr. Camps house.
1t was alleged that the entire business
was later carried on at Mrs Camps
house, but she was finally compelled tt
remove to Bridgeport, fearing a raid
from the police.
| SENSATION IN COURT.
Mrs Pearsall, the elder, was placed
upon the stand this afternoon anC
created a great sensation by testifying
that she had lived in open adultery will
a man named Pearsall, to whom she
had never been married. She admitted
that she had frequently allowed &c
Camp to kiss her.
The next witness was Miss Maggie
Farrell, and she also caused a ripple o.
excitement by swearing that Attorney
O'Neill had offered her 800 to go on tn,
stand and tell all she knew about thu
case, provided he won the suit. Sh,
said her deposition, which was read il
court last week, was correct.

over the police muddle in this city has
quieted down somewhat and there
seems to be no apparent danger at pres
ent of any outbreak or general disturb
ance. Late this afternoon two actions
were brought against Chief Rylands,
which serve to tie up his hands until the
case is tried. One is quo warranto,
and the other temporary injunction,
restraining him from exercising the
functions of chief until the title to the
Office is legally settled. The case will
be heard next Tuesday. Captain Pink

. LAST NIGHTS STORM.
Lightning Causes a Small Fire In the
Brooklyn District.

Lightning Causes a Small Fire In the
Brooklyn District.
The electric storm last evening tried
hard to avoid Waterbury and although
the lightning was sharp and the thunder
loud, hardly enough rain fell to lay the
dust. A number of places were struck
by lightning, but no serious damage
was done. The house of Mrs Lough-
man on Bank street in the Brooklyn dis
trict was struck near the roof and set
on fire. An alarm was sent in from box
No 1924, but the blaze was extinguished
before the arrival of the fire depart
ment. The chimney of the Porter
street school was also struck and the
top shattered and one of the lightning
rods on st Patrick's church was bent.
In the eastern part of the town the
house of J. w. Gallagher, the butcher,
was struck and a corner of the roof
ripped off.
The lightning also caused some DAM
age in French's bakery in the Jacques
block on South Main street, entering
upon the electric light wire.
The storm was much more severe in
Naugatuck and Prospect than here.
In Naugatuck the houses of Patrick
Cleary and Michael McCabe were struck
and damaged to a considerable extent,
In Prospect the house of H. N. Clark
was set on fire and destroyed.

MISSING ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
The Friends of George G. Havican Can No
Account For His Absence.


The Friends of George G. Havican Can Not
Account For His Absence.
George G. Havican, a popular fore
man at the Watch factory, who was to
have been married this morning to Miss
Nellie Shea of Bank street, is missing
and his friends are greatly alarmed over
his mysterious disappearance. The last
seen of the young man was at $3.50
o'clock this morning when he called at
the home of his intended bride to make
the final preparations for their marriage.
He was in the best of spirits and left the
house tosmake a call in the eastern sec
ton of the town, saying that he would
be back within an hour. He did not re-
turn and no trace of him can be found.
No explanation of his strange conduct
can be given, but it is believed that he
strayed away while temporarily insane.
Havican has always been known as a
sober and industrious young man. He
was popular with his associates and ap-
parently looked forward to his APP
preaching marriage as the happiest
event of his life. He secured the neces-
sary license from Town Clerk Madden
last night and had made arrangements
to be married at o'clock this morning.
The deepest sympathy is expressed for
Miss Shea over the unfortunate affair.
She is a worthy and amiable young
woman and has hosts of friends.
1t was learned this afternoon that
Havican called at Frank Brothers
| saloon at the corner of Union and South
Main streets, just before o'clock this
| morning and bought a cigar.

DOminick BOhn Killed BY Fall at Fair
Haven.
Early yesterday afternoon Dominick
Bohn, who was at work on the extern
sion of the Quinnipiac brewery in Fair
Haven, fell from scaffold and received
injuries from which he died at the hos
pital abont half past four o'clock. Bohn
was a mason and resided at 513 Congress
avenue. He is brother of Contractor
George Bohn. Death occurred from the
breaking CT a blood vessel near the
heart. The height of the fall was about
thirty or thirty-five feet. He also re-
ceived a compound fracture of the right
elbow joint.
A laborer employed by the Ousatonic
Water company at Birmingham, named
John Mcdonald, was seen to fall on
Sugar street yesterday. He apparently
went to sleep, but a few minutes later
he was aroused by some men passing
and became ugly. He rolled down the
embankment to the edge of the river,
but was brought up again, after which
he deliberately took another plunge,
but without injury. 1t was with diff
Guilty he was brought up again and be-
came wild, taking about ten men to
hold him. DIR O'Sullivan was called
and found that the man had been
drinking, which, combined with the
heat, set him crazy. He ordered him to
the lookup where he acted like a luna
tic.
Morris LIE Porte, a Frenchman en-
ployed by the Smithville Manufacturing
company of Willimantic, met with a
serious accident here yesterday. AT
noon when the operatives were leaving
the mills several, among them the
Frenchman, had to cross the Bridge
street crossing. LIE Porte had got across
once but went back again after couple
of girls. AS a New England freight
train was rapidly approaching some of
his friends called to him not to cross,
but being deaf he did not hear them.
The engine of the train knocked him
down and one of the drivers passed over
his left hand.

Combination in SUGAR provided that

KELLY thought that price too high and

sugar in carloads direct from the re6ners.
The result is that Kelly has compelled the
wholesalers to adopt his method.
But KELLY can go the wholesalers one
better. He buys in car lots and has his
sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The
wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha-
