A Lively Meeting Promised.

Entries for the fall meeting Of the Waterbury Driving company are coming in satisfactorily and the antici- patton of a large field promises to be fully realized. There are at present four horses exercising on the track. Happy Home," owned by Duckworth, of Providence, covered a half mile in Ill very handily, Saturday afternoon. Happy Home" however, seems to travel better alone than when in con- pany. He is entered in the 2:27 class. Allan Risk, of Willimantic, has three horses at the track already, one of them being "Click- Clock" who ran at the spring meeting. An effort is being made to get up purse to beat the track record of 2:274, made at the spring meeting two years ago by M. Flaherty's, of Birmingham, Joe s. The fall meeting promises to be a highly successful one.

DOinEs of Day in the Valley Below
 This City.

NAUGATUCK, Aug 23.-Our citizens should bear in mind that the fire depart ment is not turning out to celebrate Labor Day, but are ordered out by the board of fire commissioners, who thls year have made Labor Day firemen's day for inspection and review of apparatus and men, under the direction of Chief Crampton, so make this first firemen's day here one to be remembered. The officers of the department were appoint ed committee to invite a number of companies to pay us friendly visit, take part in the parade and enjoy our hos pitalities. Four or more companies have accepted, and we have the assurance that it would be very gratifying to both the board of fire commissioners and en- gineers if our citizens would not only lend their aid to provide for the visitors, but would det crate their places or resi- one in the history of Naugatuck.
 The republicans will open their cam paign tomorrow evening at the opera house, when Judge Wheeler will give an illustrated talk on protection. The band will be out and general invita- ton is extended.
 One of the ex-commanders of Isbell post informs us that we were in error as regards the post having their $100 sub- scribed, as they have only $60 and hope their friends will send in the balance. There will be no meeting of the post on Thursday evening of this week, but all members who are to go on the Washing ton trip are requested to be at~the rooms on Monday evening, go inst with out fail.
 Tickets for "Uncle Hiram" go on sale at McCarthy's tomorrow morning. jet yok ranged to meet III Oddfellows' hall to- morrow.
 Eugene D. Squires, Foreman of the Hose company has been laid up i'll for some days. It is unfortunate, as much of the firemens committee work de- bends upon him.
 A number from here will go to Coney Island tomorrow on an excursion given by Ansonia and Waterbury associations. Cal O'Brien is evidently giving the | Acmes chance to put up or shut up. There will be lots of people here on La bor Day who would enjoy a ball game after the parade, which will probably be over by 3:30. There would be more money in a game here than at Water bury.
 Yesterday was a good day for oul court officers but bad one for Mary Charles, John and Anthony Estruski who indulged in too much Union City whiskey on Sunday and became SC boisterous that the city constables rakec them in. Justice Peck induced Mary to pay $3 and costs, Charles $9 anc costs, John and Anthony each, $1 anc costs, as also John Sopranski S1 ano costs. Two more were brought dowI last evening for a fight in Soloski's | They were bailed out by him but will b. operated upon by the court to-day.

SOLDIERS ATTACKED,
Stones and Pieces of Iron Thrown :

Stones and Pieces of Iron Thrown at
 Them.
 BUFFALO, August 23.-At a. m. an attack was made on the Twelfth regiment by gang of strikers and their friends. They walked up to within a stone's throw of the camp hiding under cars and behind car trucks, and then threw stones and pieces of iron at the soldiers. The soldiers answered the at tack with bullets. The shooting was kept up for long time and still the stone throwing continued. There are tenements near the railroad and the people were all out in the street. There is great excitement. Two men who have just come in from the direction of the Tifft farm say that they heard from thirty to forty shots at the | farm and heard calls of corporal of the guard" and then more speaking. The | Twenty-Second regiment is stationed at the farm. It is in command of Colonel Camp. The, latest report from the scene of the shooting is that four men have been killed and two wounded, in one place in the Erie yard mlle outside of the city, and that number of other men have been wounded by the soldiers bullets in other yards, The soldiers at Senaca street said that the men had been killed by the Seventy-first regi- ment. It is impossible to get by the guard within mile of the First. The corporal of the guard of Post s, Ninth regiment, Company I, said there had been shooting all night. The volley that killed these men he said had been fired about 2:15 o'clock. A few moments before the reporter was stop ped by the sentinel a man had been shot at by one of the soldiers of Company 1 and that he was wounded was proven by his groans. He tumbled over fence which he was climbing when the shot was fired.
 l The confident statements of the rail road officials that the strike was at an end were pretty well knocked into a cooked hat by the terrifce fighting of this mornIng's early fray. The troops have suffered tremendous Iy by reason of showers Of stones which assailed them on every side and which in the lmpenetrable darkness they were powerless to avoid The picket lines were the heaviest sufferers and this morning there is not a man who was last night assigned tc picket duty but what is wortsed.

KELLY ON CHEWING GUM

Chewing Gum appears to be getting into court unduly. There does not ap- pear to be anything especial about chew ing gum 10 take it into the civil courts, although it is readily admitted that it fills a very prominent place in the Court of Cupid, but it struck the civil court in Reading, Penn, in rather uncivil man ner one day last month. Mrs Harmon Brumbach, a milk woman, had Mrs Mary Resh arrested for using outrageous and insulting language. Mrs Resh attempted to justify herself by saying that she had found chewing gum in the milk she had purchased. Mrs Brumbach said she had no teeth to chew gum with, being in the uncertain stage between the extrac- tion of all her molars, bicuspids, etc, and fact, that having no teeth she could only gum, the alderman, who had the matter under consideration, settled the contro- versy against the lady who objected to gum in Ter milk by fning her G7 cents forwo olths-sort of bi-cuspid, or cur sory remarks-which she had used in ex- pressing her opinions on the chewing gum.
 Why is it that KELLY'S CHEWING GUM has fresher flavor than what we buy in other places? Because he is 8 wholesaler and receives gum fresh every week.

\ Complicated Liquor Case Continued
 Until Tomorrow.
 Mathew Colwell and John Sutherland for drunkenness were fined $5 and costs each this morning.
 Edward Magner was charged with selling on Sunday and keeping open on Sunday, two complaints. The witness against him was James Byron who was yesterday before the court on complaint of James Magner, a brother of Edwards, for throwing stones. Byron has only been in this country a few months, and his story evidently savored of animosity. He swore he went into Magner's saloon on June 5th, in com pany with Patrick Shanahan. They sat down at the end of the bar and he treated, so did Shanahan and so did James Magner, who was tending bar for his brother. He was positive about the Sunday. He also swOre that a little girl named NOOnan came in and pur chased a half pint of whiskey. He was positive of the date and everything pertaining to the saloon, but he could not remember what time he went to church that Sunday, nor who said service. He ad- mitted that he was making the charge out of revenge. Edward Magner said his brother had not worked for him in three months and half. He discharged him. He carried the keys of the place and he slept every day, in cluding Sunday, until 10 o'clock. Byron had testified that he was in the saloon at 10 o'clock. The little Noonan girl was present and was a very bright and apt witness for the defense. She is only II years of age and denied that she was ever in the saloon only on week days when she carried Mir Magner's dinner. She said that a policeman came for her yesterday and that this morning Attorney Colley told her to go say. At this point the case was con tinued until tomorrow morning to allow the defense to bring in James Magner and Patrick Shanahan as wit l nPSSRS.

Deputy Sheriff Pond Arrests c. COllard
 Adams.
 Deputy Sheriff Pond of New Haven came to town to-day and arrested one c. Collard Adams, of Cromwell, who until recently published paper in this city called the Adams Monthly. At present MT Adams is publishing paper in Naugatuck called the Adams Weekly. He was arrested on com plaint of MT James P. Pigott, of New Haven, the candidate for congressional honors in the second district. The sheriff had instructions to take MT Adams to jail unless he procured a bond of S5, ,00O. It was in the Adams Weekly the articles appeared which MT Pigott took exceptions to. The stories first appeared in the extra published last Friday and then in the regular edition which came out last Saturday. MT Adams made certain charges against Mir Pigott in relation to the St Francis orphan asylum of New Haven and also about a certain Catholic clergyman. MT Pigott thinks he has been in- iured $5,000 worth by the pub Iication of these stories and conse- quently brings suit against MT Adams.
 MT Adams spent the afternoon at Deputy Sheriff Fays and Attorney ONeil's offices, while his friends sought for a bondsman. Clothier Sedgwick was brought in, but as he has no real estate he would not be taken.
 At $50 MT Adams told a DEMOCRAT reporter that he would accompany the sheriff to New Haven, going on the 4 40 train. He expects to be able to procure bondsman tomorrow.

To Whom It May Concern.

Whereas, our son and brother, Thomas Burke, of Naugatuck, told us certain scandalous stories about Miss Nellie Ziegelmaier of this town, and Whereas, we have informed others of what said Thomas Burke told us. Now after full investigation of the matter we believe said stories that have been circulated about Nellie Zieglemaier are false and untrue, and we publish this card to show that every member of our family deeply regret that said false, scandalous and untrue stories were ever circulated, or any thing said to bring Miss Nellie Ziegle- maier's good name into disgrace or in iure her character.

here shortly in his American play, "Uncle Hiram" is one of the most yer satile actors in the profession. He has played successfully all lines of business but found comedy and character to be his forte. He made his first appearance with Emile Melville in the Bohemian Girl" at the Bush street theatre, San Francisco, 1875, and has since held a leading position in the best companies on the road. He IS excruciatingly funny in "Uncle Hiram," which is playing the capacity of theatres every where. At the opera house Monday, August go.

DIED IN FRANKFORT.
An Aged and Prominent Ken
tuckian Passes Away.
French Academy of Science, Sue
cumbs TO the Inevitable.

Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
FRANKFORT, June 2l.--Louis A.
Define, an aged member of the
French Academy of Science, and
since his residence in this country a
distiller of whisky and an inventor
OF some reputation, died in this city
yesterday. He was born ia 1914 at
Toulon, forty-two miles southeast of
Marseilles, France, where Orfila, the
founder of modern toxicology, lived.
His father was surgeon general in
the army of Bonaparte, and while
Louis was yet child the family re-
moved TO Paris. After obtaining a
diploma as chemist, Mr.. Define was
assigned to duty with Orfila in the
study of poisons, and from his re-
search and practical experiments Or
fila collated much of his celebrated
work on toxicology.
In his early Partisan life, Mr.. De.
lime was a politician and soldier as
well as scientist, and he engaged in
the many political issues and barri-
cade revolutions that were constantly
occurring in that city previous to the
beginning of the administration of
Louis Napoleon. Throughout this
period he was on warm personal
terms with M. Theirs and Victor
Hugo and also the great engineer,
De Lesseps, with whom he OCCASION
ally corresponded in after life.
In 1874 he came to Frankfort and
engaged AS di5tiller at the O. F. on
distiIery, then belonging to Col. E.
II. Taylor, Jr., now the representa-
tive in the Legislature from thi,
county. He was with this distillery
ten years, and subs; quentIy with IA
distillery in Lexington and with the
Mattingly dlstilIely in Louisville.
His wife survives him, as also "A
daughter, the wife of Mr.. James A.
Murray, of this city, and one son, Mr..
Thomas Define, in Louisville. No
other relatives are in this country
save the children of brother, Mr..
Adolph Define, who was druggist
at Louisville in Portland.

IS THERE TRUTH IN TIP
Some Views Expressed By Prominent
Politician.

"You may set it down in your note
book" said prominent politician to
reporter yesterday, THAT the Third
party howlers in this county will not
go into the Democratic primaries
here July 2. They will call con-
vention for the county before the gu
bernatorial convention meets, and
will send up a list of delegates to
Nashville"
"But," said the reporter, "they
will not be seated if they are sent up
there"
'Of course not, but they will be
there ready when the bolt comes to
60 off with Third party movement
and aid in nominating a candidate.
There is where they will ultimately
go and | believe that they will take
this kind of step to prepare for the
bolt"
The gentleman further said, that
he did not believe there would be
much danger to the Democratic party
in the event that Third party can
didate was put in the field. 1t would,
in the wind,up, be Turney or Win
stead, and he did not believe that the
people of the State wanted any more
Republican rule. They would GER
tainly see it in this light, and would
support the regular Democratic nom
ineo.

Druggists Who Substitute.

Beware of the druggist or general
dealer who, when asked for Lemon
Chill Tonic, has something 'just as
good or ',just like it," We say the
person who habitually does this is not
the one to trust with your prescrip-
tons; he would be apt to substitute,
if he hadn't what the prescription
called for would put in something
'just as good" There are many
tonics on the market, but none claim
to be better. Why then take the risk?
The persons whose names are attached
can tell you that Lemon Chill Tonic
does everything we claim for it.
