London Northern railroad, struck and
killed Ann Lynch, deaf woman, who

half mile north of Norwich town sta

the way of the train.

REPUBLICAN, BANNER RAISING.
Some One Kissed and Judge Cowen Lost
His Temper.

Some One Kissed and Judge Cowen Lost
His Temper.
The republicans of Waterbury finally
swung their "done-over' banner to the
breeze on Bank street, last evening.
Blakeslee's big four-seat wagon was
made a temporary platform from which
DR. Cook, Judge Cowell and Herbert E.
Benton of New Haven made speeches.
DIR Cooks speech was very brief. Judge
Cowell told the audience that they had
"met tonight to throw to the breeze a
banner which meant something"
People passing on Bank street to-day
think those words are true in different
sense from that which the judge wished
70 convey. certain it is that if the
republicans of Waterbury will not
vote straighter than they hung their
banner, the men whose portraits grace
Exchange place, at the entrance to
South Main street, have little to fear.
Some expressions of disapproval of re-
publican utterances from the audience
temper of the genial judge, and he re-
ferred to the "copper-heads" of the early
! days of the rebellion with much warmth,
not one of whom was in his audience.
Mr. Benton appeared as the humorist of
the evening. That he was clearly out of
place was self-admitted, for Mr. Ben
ton is a worl er, not talker, and can no
doubt give points to his friend Dudley
of Indiana. Altogether the meeting af-
forded means Of spending an evening
pleasantly which might otherwise drag
on many who attended, and the impress.
sions that were made were as lasting as
that made by dipping ones finger in

BAcGAGEMEN MAY STRIKE.

Dissatisfaction Among the Luggage
Handlers on tho Central Hudson.
PoUGHKEEPs1E, N. Y, Aug. 19.-There
is talk of strike among the baggagemen
ON the Hudson River Railroad running
between New York and Albany.
About a month ago the wages of 10 OF
the baggagmen was reduced 81 month.
The company restored the cut on applica-
ton of a representative of the baggage
IA en-, but the number of baRgagemen
was reduced, so that the remaining ones
found more work to do. Hence the dis
satisfaction and Threatened strike. The
men want to work in groups-a Corpora
tive way of reducing the hours of work.
The matter has been much talked of
by railroad men here for a week past.

able weather.

The Bismareks Kept wilhelm Away.

BERLIN. Aug 19.-The mystery con-
corning the Emperor's absence from the
dinner given by the officers of the Guards
on Tuesday evening, which he had prom
Used to attend, is explained by the fact
that Count Herbert Bismarck and Count
William Bismarck were present. The
Emperor did not learn that they were to
be present until shortly before the even
ing of the dinner. Even the anti-Bis-
marckians here feel that the Emperor
might have gone, rather than show his
dislike of the Bismarcks through such a
petty slight.

Narrow Escape for Hotel Guests.

BERNIE, Aug. 19.-The Hotel de L'Ours
at Grindelwald was destroyed by fire dur
ing the night. 1t was one of the three

Switchmen There Have Demanded Better
Wages and Hours.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 19.-Unless an ad-
justment is m ad within a few hours, it
is probable that the switchmen of all the
roads entering Louisville will go out on
strike.
For some time the switchmen in the
local yard have felt dissatisfied with
wages and hours.
The strike at Buffalo precipitated de-
mand on the Louisville & Nashville for
the adoption of the standard or Chicago

bury Furniture Co.

Our annual excursion last Monday given
to our employees, turned out to be one of
the great social events of the year. We
think 1t would be the proper thing, in
your next message to recommend to our
manufacturers the closing of their mills
on that day. 1t would be the one great
stroke of diplomacy which would distin-
guish your political career.
When we paraded through the city in
the big omnibus, drawn by our four
handsome grey horses, the way that the
beautiful girls waved their handkerchief
at our boys, we could see at Glance that
the feeling was perfectly natural, as all
our hearts began to flutter We must
have those girls with us next year at any
cost. Since we came back our orders
have doubled, and our men are equal to
the emergency. They have been singing
at their work ever since. Everyone
knows that we believe in the people, and
the people believe in us. This is where
our success lies.
The people know where to buy Carpets,

Crete Bank ATairs

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct RECEIVER
Miller of the deFuuct State Bank of
Nebraska at Crete, today filed with
the clerk OF the supreme court a re.
quest for instructions on point which
has already been raised by him in the
discharge of his duties. He states to
the court That after examining the
books he has discovered that individu.
ais and firms to the number thirty in
all are indebted to tho bank in the
aggregate sum of $13,71S.42. These
same parties have deposits in the
bank to the amount of S., 362.70. He
desires the court TO decide for him
whether he shall give these parties
credit on their indebtedness to the
full amount of their Indebtedness, or
only credit them with such part of
their deposits as may eventually be
paid to all depositors OF the bank.
1t is no longer believed that the de-
positors of the bank will receive dollar
for dollar for their money. The banks
affairs are in much worse condition
than was at first supposed. The
Forthcoming report of the receiver
promises to be an interesting docu-
ment.

out at o'clock last night in the COW

Yards company at South Omaha and
burned slX pens, each 50x200 feet in
size. The fire spread with such rapid
ity that great damage was done before
the packing house and the South Oma-
ha fire forces arrived. Access to the
pens was made difficult also from the
fact that they are located in the center
OF the north wing of the yards. Nine
hundred sheep confined in the pens
and which had just been weighed out
to Swift " Co., persisted. The cattle
pens were adjacent to the sheep pens
and in resculng the stock the cattle
were so badly mixed up that consider
able loss must result to the Union
Stock Yards company. But one steer
was burned The loss on the pens
which we're recently built, with mod
ern improvements. is estimated at
