A Company Being Formed to Parallel the
Consolidated Road.
According to Saturday nights Bridge
port Farmer there IS project now al
most consummated to parallel the Con-
solidated road. 1t states, on the au-
thority of New York capitalist, that a
company has been formed and that the
work of building the road will be begun
early in December. 1t is reported that
Col w. FL. Stevenson, ex-president of
the Housatonic, is to be president of the
new company.
In outlining the new company's plans
the Farmer states that by building an
19-mile road from Danbury to a juno
ton with the Harlem at Golden's
Bridge, the company could, by an ALI.
ance with the New York & New Eng.
land, establish New York and Boston
connection. The New York, Bridge
port and Eastern were the holders OF
corporate rights and also the owners OF
the right of way. The only thing
was to buy the company out, or else by
guaranteeing the money to consummatt
the latter enterprise secure the CONTROL
ing interest. The latter was done.
The latter layout crosses the Harlem
at White Plains and forms a junction
with the New York Central at Yonkers
The parties backing the project are thu
same who have lately made the Read
ing, Boston & Maine and New YOrl
& New England combine.

ease. His last words were; Brethren,

George Bevins of Bridgeport tipped
up fiat stone on his farm last week
and was more than surprised to find a
bushel or so of garter snakes serenely re-
posing beneath its shelter. He killed
them all with crowbar. Being tucked
up for their winter sleep, the job was
done before they could realize that
anything was wrong. When the
slaughter was ended, Mr. Bevans
Strengthened them out and counted
twenty-seven, all the way from six
inches to two feet in length.

Runaway This Afternoon.

A horse and wagon owned by a
couple of rug peddlers was left standing
in front of Mitchell's block on Bank
street in Brooklyn this afternoon. The
horse became frightened and started on
run up Bank street. In front of
Jacksons stone yard G. B. Lawrence's
team was struck and upset. The run
away kept on and in front of P. j.
Bolan's hardware store struck and over
turned a wagon belonging to G. E.
Judd, in which was seated a young boy.
The lad was thrown out and his
foot caught in the lines. Mr. Judd's
horse started, dragging the boy along,
but was quickly stopped by Thomas
Egan. The peddler's team kept on to
the corner of West Main street, turned
and ran to Church, to Grand and back
to Bank street. Near the Naugatuck
depot the horse fell, overturning the
wagon and breaking the hind wheel.

Captain E. G. Stahl of Trenton, N. J.,
made an interesting democratic address
in Concordia hall last evening. He con-
fined his remarks chiefly to national
affairs and demonstrated to his hearers
that it was the republican senate which
blocked Cleveland's many attempts at
reform. Representative j. l.. SAKE

presided and introduced the speakers.
The committee on speakers of the
State Democratic club, consisting of E.
E. Bradley of New Haven, Charles g..
Root of Waterbury and John L. Hunter

supplement the work of the state demo-

for meetings, especially in the country
towns of the state. If any places desire
speakers, which the state organization
has not or cannot supply, by applying
to either of the above gentlemen efforts

AMUSEM ENTS.


''The Face in the Moonlight" Robert
Mantells new play, will be the
attraction at the opera house Thursday
evening. The New York Post says Of
it: The house was crowded, and with a
critical audience, differing largely from
the usual summer attendance. The
play is we'll constructed. The chief fea-
ture of his performance was the re-
markably quick change from one char
acter to the other, which he had to
make many times during the night.
"Rob Roy
Of 'Rob Roy" which will be pre-
sented at the opera house tomorrow
evening, the Derby Transcript says:
The play is new to the American people,
but after witnessing it they could not
fail to appreciate the splendid story
which it portrays. The singing of the
auld Scotch songs Sin the braid auld
Scotch tongue" must have been very
pleasing to such in the audience who
were from the land of McGregor.
"My jack"
Walter Sanford's superb scenic pro-
duction, "My jack" will be seen at the
opera house Saturday night.

HOW APUZZLE WAS SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't your
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you. isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear of one puz-
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle. and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those Of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mcchan-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as q further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross OF the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. 12.
for manufacturing uses. are the best in the
world to-day.
And now. when you want sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine, and If he
does not keep them. write to us for descrip'
tive catalogue. prices and terms.

The Circus Brings Big Crowd and Lots
of Fun.

The Circus Brings Big Crowd and Lots
of Fun.
The circus came Saturday, and with
it such q crowd as Columbia has not
witnessed since the Arsenal celebra-
ton last summer. A year of ordinary
days would not suffice to bring so
many and such varied specimens of
humanity to town as one circus will
attract. 1t draws people who never
get away from their own spring
branch for any other purpose, and
the consequence is that the streets
are crowded with the den;zens of the
way back, drinking in with the open
mouths and eyes, the unwOnted
sights. And there is the small boy
and the cOlOr-loving negro, to whom
such displays are a never-failing
source OF delight.
Their exuberant enjoyment affects
the most stated sighL-seers, and the
whole town catches the contagious
buoyaucy of the occasion. 1t would
have been thoroughly enjoyed had
the display been of the poorest ma
ture, but as it was up TO and beyond
expectation, the crowd were in roll
licking good humOr eXhilerating to
witness. Performance this afternoon
and Tonight.

STREET CORNER POLITICS.
Some of the Questions Discussed by
Curb StOne Orators,
\ Man That Always Dreams Who VIII
be the President-It is Cleveland
This Year.

Politics is the absorbing topic OF
conversation whenever and wherever
people meet these days. The most
usual places OF meeting, and the
most nal ural perhaps, are the side
walks and street corners. Here men
extraordinarily and uncunsciously
into groups, and argue, compare
opinions and speculate on the result.
What do you think of Cleveland's
chances? What will Turney's ma
iurIty be? Will the solid South he
broken? Will The Republicans tie
able to buy the Pre- sideucy? Can
Weaver carry Kansas or Nebraska or
COiafadn, or all OF them? How
arout Indiana? Will the election be
thrown IuJo he Lower House oil Con-
gr-ss? These are some of the ques-
IONS most often asked aud discussed.
Ia sorts Of arguments are brought
to sustain the particular views OF the
particular speakers. One man thinks
the Republicans have 20 much
money that they eau buy anything
they want another contends that the
Australian ballot law will cut of
their opportunities OF corruption, so
that their Doodle will he nOn-effec-
tive.
Some look for a Cleveland land
Ohio will be for him, and don't think
Pennsylvania out of the question;
others say that Growers only chance
is to have the election thrown into
the House.
EXhausting arguments and reason
in the speculation, they fall back on
signs snd Omens. y certain business
man is dead sure Of Cleveland, be-
cause of dreams that have come to
pass. He says that up i'll Kentucky
there is certain man who, certain
number of nights before the election,
always dreams who will be the next
President. He has had this dream
Just two weeks before every election
for many years.
In 1884 he dreamed that Cleveland
would be the man, and was telling
some of his friends about 1t. They
attempted to guy him about his SUI
perstiliOu, but he WAS so impressed
with It that he bet $500 on tile omen.
He won his bet OF course.
Four years ago Oh the same number
of nights before the election he
dreamed that the grandson of his
grandfather would be the next oc-
cupant OF the White House, and won
another $500 on the vision of prophecy
that came to him in the night.
This year his good angel has
warned him that frankie Cleveland
will carry the keys of the White
House for the next four years, and
he has put up another $500 on the
s rength Of the advice. And 20 It
goes. There will be nothing else OF
consequence done until it is all over.
