NAueATucK AND VICINITY
Doings of . Day in the Valley Below
 This City.

NAUGATUcK, Dec 27.-An unsuccess- full attempt was made to rob the Nauga- tuck bank on Sunday morning about 8 o'clock. The parties entered through a closet window, forced the doors for an exit each way, then charged the vault doors with dynamite, leading the fuse out of the bank. The concussion knock had thrown water over to pre- vent anyone from seeing in. The report and:glass falling was heard by the Rev Mir Soule, who run up shade and looked out. He then went out, and for fear of trouble called Dr Futile, when they found the bank had been entered. The robbers left their kit consisting of fuse, dynamite, jimmy, etc, but took revolver belonging to the bank. As the funds were all inside of burglar proof safe, it is doubtful if they papers and pennies. One hundred dol lars will pay all damages. Sheriff Sweeney is at work on the case, but as | there are no clues, It will probably amount to nothing. The Waterbury police notified the police officers in Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven that bank robbery had occurred here. Justice Peck was full of business yes terday. Lewis Procelins paid $12. 30 for | lntoXlcatlon; Joseph Fibre or water bury, SIP. 70 for abusing horse; John Stone, SIP 70, for intoxication; Edward Farrell, $9.7O, for intoxication; Peter Pole, $11.O5 for being chased out of Freeman's on Saturday; Anthony Lynch S10.50 for assault.

TENNESSEE CROPS.
Weekly Bulletin of the Tennessee
Weather Crop Service.

For the week ending Friday, May
q, 1892.
The temperature and sunshine dur
ing the past seven days have been
below the normal, while the rainfall
has been below the average, except
in the western division, where an ex-
cess is reported.
The continued cool weather has
seriously retarded the growth of all
crops except grasses.
The rains during the early part of
the week put the ground in good
condition, and tobacco planting
progressed rapidly. Plants are abun-
dant and are In excellent condition.
During the last few days the land
dried sufficiently to allow further
preparations for planting. The crop
is about one-half planted.
Corn is growing slowly on account
of the cool weather, and many fields
are being oVerrun with grass. 1t is
impossible to pillow on account of the
moist condition of the soil.
Cotton has made but little progress
and in some counties much of the
crop is dying from the effects of the
cold wet weather.
Peanuts are not doing well. The
stand is generally poor and is rotting
in the ground.
A large portion of the winter oat
crop is failure, but spring oats look
well, and with warm weather the
yield will be good.
Wheat is heading and in some
sections will soon be ready to harvest.
Many complain that 1t Is heading
too low, but the average crop
throughout the State will be good.

BILLY BOWLING.
The Man Who Killed Harry
Dent Know n Here.
A Son Of the Late r. p. Bowling, Who
Was Once a Leading Tobacco
Buyer.

A special to the LEAF-CHRoNIcLE
Saturday gave the particulars of the
killing OF Harry Dent by "Billy"
Bowling, in Louisville bagnio Fri
day night. Then were both gam
blers, and fell out over the attentions
of a woman of ill-fame. Itnow trans
pires that Bowling once lived in
GAINESVILLE. The Courier Journal, in
giving fuller details of the affair,
says:
Billy Bowling is about forty
eight years of age. He originally
came from GAINESVILLE, Tenn. He
came to Louisville from Henderson
about twelve years ago. At that time
he was one of the leading tobacco
buyers In that city. He was well
educated man and good talker, and
in his better days was considered a
trustworthy man. He got into bad
company, began gambling, drinking
and associating with lewd women,
until he lost his position, and gradu-
ally sank lower and lower. For the
last ten years he has lived by his
wits, gambling and living on the
earnings OF the woman with whom
he lived. When his crime became
known last night there was not a
kind word for him, for he had fallen
so low that few sporting men of the
city would have anything to do with
him. His crime was condemned in
the strongest language by all, while
only sympathy was expressed for his
victim"
Investigations here lead to the be.
lief that the above is true so far as
the identity of Bowling is concerned.
1t is generally understood on the
streets and at st. Bethlehem that it
is really VIM. Bowling, the son of
the late Richard p. Bowling, who
died at New Providence. The fam
lily stood well here and at one time
Richard p. Bowling was prominent
tsbacconist. VIM. Bowling was also
al one time connected with the to-
bacco business of GAINESVILLE. From
the best information at hand VIM.
Bowling went from here to Nash
vile and later to Louisville, where
he went from bad to worse, until by
his deed Friday night he tragically
ended tho life or a fellow being and
now, IN the event that he is caught,
placed his own in jeopardy.

ing letter, which Is herewith given
in full:
To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l
BIC Rock, TENN, May 23.-After
seeing your proposition to collect
one thousand dollars to complete the
Confederate monument, l took a
subscription and told the boys what
it was for, and you will see that the
little fellows responded literally.
They range in age from eleven to
fourteen years, and be it said to their
praise, not one of them had to call on
their parents to furnish them the
money, but had it of their own earn
ings. There are only four grown
PERSONS names to the list.
Please give them a little compli-
ment, and thank them for me also.
Respectfully,
e. p. MARTIN.
The amount previously reported
was $3.50. The above $5 added
makes the total $3.50, to date.
The LEAF-CHRONICLE commends
the action of Mr.. Martin and
its little Stewart county friends
in sending in their contribu-
tions to the consideration of all peo-
pie In the GAINESVILLE tobacco district.
Subscriptions are being circulated
elsewhere, however, and contribu-
tons will soon come in from all di-
rections. 1t is a general movement
all over the country, and the LEAF
CHRONICLE, therefore, feels conf
dent that it will raise one thousand
dollars for the cause. In the mean
time send in your donations.
