HER GREAT LOSS,

The Grief Stricken Widow Had No One
 Left to Tell Her.
 Never before had the tall gentleman with the iron gray mustache been more deeply impressed with the loneliness of a widows lot. The plump lady in black was on tho verge of tears, and every word of her sad story seemed like a knife thrust into her grief sore soul. "When l look forward"---
 Her voice was tremulous, her eyes dewy.
 "To the future, life seems"--- Emotion was choking her utterance. Like dreary waste"
 She pressed her somber fringed hand kerchief to her eyes.
 Be calm, madam, be calm" The tall gentleman with the iron gray mustache felt very sympathetic in- deed.
 "P-p-pardon me-"
 The lady struggled to repress her feel ings with indifferent success.
 My dear madam" the tall gentleman hastily declared, your grief does you credit"
 An unintelligible murmur was the only reply.
 "The rude severing of the most cher ished of human relations by the hand of death"-
 The plump figure in black shook with sobs.
 "Must desolate the surviving heart" "Yes, yes. l miss him more than w-w-words can t-tell."
 The lady moaned in her misery and the tears came afresh.
 "The strong arm on which to lean is gono," sadly suggested the tall gentle man.
 She bohbed her head
 "And the manly bosom wherein yoa reigned supreme"
 "B-oo-oo."
 And the cherished lips with their words of cheer and comfort" "Oh, oh, oh. Boo-hoo. Yves, yes. And there's n-no one now to t-tell me- Her sorrow overwhelmed her for a mo. ment.
 "Tell me-me-m-me'--
 The tall gentleman noticed with un. easiness that the plump lady was grow ing hysterical.
 Do tell mo if m.m-my hats on straight"
 After she had cried few minutes longer they changed the subjcct.--De- troit Tribune.

Returning to the Charge,

Mime. D. applied to a registration office for servant. They sent her a big, strapping lass, with bold eyes, a lond voice and ungainly gestures. Mime. D. declined her services.
 A few days later the same young woman called again on the lady to re- new her offer.
 "You here again? said Mime. D. in tone of surprise. You know very well that I refused to take you"
 "Yes, ma'am. but I have been sent here today from another office. Petit Parisien Ilustre.

THE SOUVENIR NUMBER.

The coming year will be the fortieth of Waterbury as city. In these forty years the city has been markedly pros porous. tThe town of less than 5000 in population has grown to be a thriving city of nearly 10000, fine residences adorn it's residential parts, substantial structures of brick, iron and stone line it's business streets, and it's manufac- turing industries have an established reputation throughout the world.
 It is fitting that the city's past growth, present substantial condition and prom ising future should be made know and the DEMOCRAT has taken on itself the preparation of a work which is in tended to show the marked growth of the city in manufacturing and com mercial importance and to present in a favorable light to the outside world the Waterbury of the present.
 Fine calendered paper will be used; <; the whole will be profusely illustrated; the engravings will be of the half tone process, true to life, illustrating busi ness blocks, fine residences, manufac- turing establishments and street views of the city, and portraits of individuals who are or have been prominent in pro- fessional, mercantile, manufacturing or publicl life, together with descriptive reading matter pertaining to each.

 This City.
 ! NAUGATUCK, Dec 13.-We omitted to mention yesterday. that the Union City larceny case was tried on Saturday and the accused acquitted.
 The Rev Mir Tree and Evangelist Jones desire to meet a class that ap- parently does not attend their church. Consequently they have arranged for a meeting at Barnum's hall on Thursday evening next. A general invitation to all unconverted persons is extended.
 The board of fire commissioners met Barron, $1. 1.O0; David B. Beecher, $17. 90; Frank Mckay, $8.25, appointed the lat ter, on recommendation of chief, janitor of fire department building at a salary not to exceed $15 per year. The chief was present and advised the purchase of Detroit door opener and from 500 to 1 1000 feet of cotton rubber lined hose for reserve, as the hose now owned by our factories was not to be depended upon.
 As the Norcross brothers have large force of granite cutters laboring at the works now, the library building will probably be the first that work is re- sumed upon, under their contract. Dr Lancaster hopes to be able to con- tinue his practice to-day, after being a sufferer for the past two weeks with rheumatism.
 By invitation some twenty saloon and barkeepers with friends took sup per at Cal O'Brien's on Sunday evening. We are glad to notice that D. and H. Pratt of the Union City Manufacturing company, who manufacture thimbles, are fairly under way again with some seventeen hands employed, and plenty of orders to keep them busy. We have good reason to believe that this firm was worthy of much more sympathy by our citizens than it received, after being burned out by an incendiary. Justice Peck yesterday fined John Barrett $3 and costs and Byron Lynn $5 and costs for drunkenness and breach of the peace on Sunday.
 Mrs Catherine Campion, aged 61, a ! well known resident, died suddenly ! about p. m. yesterday, while making some purchases on Main street.
 Julius Newman, an employe of Andrews, was kicked in the face and painfully injured, this morning, by a horse. Nosbones were broken. An extra train will run from Water bury after the performance of ''The White Squadron" at the opera house Friday night.

KILLED AT SILVER STREET BRIDGE

Brakeman John Ravens of the Meriden
 Road the Victim.
 James Slavin, while standing near the Silver street crossing of the Merideu road about 7:35 last evening, noticed man lying near the track some forty feet distant. The mixed train had passed but a few minutes before. MT Slavin went to the man and tried to shake him up when he discovered that the man was covered with blood and breathing heavily. He went to the nearest house for assistance, but before anything could be done the train backed down, as the conductor had missed his head brakeman, John Ravens, whom the injured man proved to be. It was found that his skull was bruised and his face and throat were cut and the right arm broken. The supposition is that he had forgotten the bridge, which he struck, throwing him from the car. He lived but few minutes. Ravens was a single man, about 32 years of age, and lived in East Hartford. He is brother of Engineer ''Lem" Ravens of the New England road. The body was viewed by Medical Examiner Axtelle and then removed to the New England station.
 Thomas Tremlin, brakeman on the New England road, was instantly killed yesterday. He was struck by an over head bridge mile below Putnam and thrown between the cars. Both legs were cut off and he was badly crushed besides. His family live in Lyndonville, Vt.
 William Sheerer, New England brakeman, while boarding the engine of his train at New Britain, yesterday about noon, slipped on the ice and re- roiuoI 1oIx Cao1n xxnI1n6o hv hoir cr struck by the steps of the engine. He was taken to East Hartford and cared for by Dr Mcknight. Sheerer lives in Hopewell Junction.

"Fritz in Ireland !"

EF1CZ HI 1FeAanO.
 "Fritz in Ireland" attracted fair sized audience to the opera house last night, most of whom were moved by He acted fairly we'll, but it was plain that it was not the Emmet of old. He is failure as singer, and those who remembered the high c of the original Fritz could not understand why they were paying extra prices last night. Baby Spencer was clever, but the cast was not above the average. Emmet was not at his best, it is said, owing to a sore throat. He must come down from his high price pedestal if he expects to be successful.
 "Wife For Wife,
 ssWife For Wife" is one of the lead ing legitimate standard attractions the coming season. It has a plot as in genious and thrilling as any of the works of Sardou Or Dumas, yet with vivid features peculiar to American life. The great poisoning scene and the fa- nous double duel with pistols and bowie knives will be among the strongest dramatic situations. It will be pre- sented at the opera house tomorrow evening.

New England Conductor and Engineer
 Complain of Hard Treatment.
 Coroner Mix went to East Hartford yesterday to hold an investigation into the deaths of Conductor Curry and En- gineer Beebe, who were killed by col lision of two New England freight trains in Southbury Saturday. Officers had traced to East Hartford John Ellison, the conductor, and c. M. Thompson, the engineer, of the other train, who dis appeared at the time of the accident, and while the coroner was there the men gave themselves up.
 Thompson and Ellison claimed they were on duty for twenty-two conse- qutive hours, and were completely ex- hausted when the accident occurred. They also claim that the railroad com pany does great injustice to it's employees by employing boys about sixteen years old as telegraph operators and trusting them to handle the train dispatches.
