 NAUGATUcK, Feb 7.-Attorney Will liam Kennedy claims that the vote for the sale of what is known as the McCar- thy lot, by the selectmen, is illegal, on the ground that the property was not properly described or located either in the call or motion which will be neces- sary to be attached to the deed in case of sale by the selectmen. This lot was purchased by the town about one year ago but was rot acceptable to the voters of the town. It was also no doubt the cause of an electi Jn of a republican board of selectmen.

 The fair of the local courts of Forest CTS opened Saturday evening it City hall, under the most suspicious condi- tions. Every detail had been carefully arranged.

Master McCarthy, the drum ma ior, made hit, and was made the recipient of a handsome watch, by the Foresters. The lady attendants were pretty and polite and met with gratify- ing success. The stage entertainment was excellent, all of the performances receiving we'll merited applause. This evening, John Mcdonnell and Matt O'Mara will be seen in an original sketch; P. Hurley will give slight oi hand exhibition, and J. P. Harrington will appear in an Irish sketch and fe male impersonations.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Minister Egan Defended By One of His Race.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT

Minister Eg8n Defended By Ono o1 ntS Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 Sir-The criticisms of the American to Chii by the mugwump press, because of his nationality, are, to say the least, an insult to a certain class of American citizens. Take. for ln- stance, the mugwump organ of our own city. In every issue of that paper there is an item criticizing Mir Egan's actions. It seems they are trying in every pos sibIe way to lessen in the eyes of the people, not only his patriotism, but his character. They call him refugee from justice and quote for their author ity London correspondent. But our mugwump friends must remember that the father of our country (accordirg to the same authority was not only refugee from justice, but traitor. The courage, the patriotism and christian charity displayed by MT Egan on that trying occasion is worthy of the admir- ation of every christian man and
 woman. Confronted by bowling mob thirsting for the blood of their own
 countrymen, he took in the awful situation at a glance. He knew re- fusal to comply with their demands meant to incur the hatred of an angry rabble. But his Irish heart appreciated
 the fact that he held in his hands the fate of the families of the unfortunate
 refugees and he ordered that tumul
 tuous mob to halt, declaring that he would shoot the first man who dared at tempt to cross his threshold. When mugwumpism shall cease to exist, when the enemies of Patrick Egan shall be forgotten, his name shall be loved ano
 honored by every true American fol generations tO come.

MINISTER EGAN,
 KELLY -::- SAYS

Egan has 8 perfect right to his place as minister tc Chili, and President Harrison had 8 perfect right to appoint him on the following grounds His oath to Uncle Sam that he had renounced his foreign al legiance and pledged himself to become 8 citizen of these United States; to take up arms against all other nations and es- pecially against the country of which he was then 8 subject. For this pledge Uncle Sam has agreed to protect him, and he is entitled to any office under the gov ernment, except the president of these United States.
 KELLY SAYS this couGtry will gladly welcome all such men of energy and push a- d enterprise as Citizen and Minister Egan has proved himself to be. If we had few more like him to go west and build up our territories in a similar man. ner, bread would be still cheaper. The millions of bushels of grain raised in Egan's own Nebraska certainly helps Kelly to sell 10 loaves of Bread for 25c, and no one in this wide, wide world sells moro, KELLY SAYS. + Seven hundred dozen Eggs received every other day, 30c per dozen, but going down sure. KELLY will refund 25c to any adult who finds poor egg in any bat they bay ot him;

Drilled Into a Fortune.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 12.-Archi
bald Smith, of this city, recently, in
company with friend named Wyman,
obtained an option on the purchase OF
$50 acres of land in Schuylkill county,
this state. Smith is a civil engineer,
and after thorough examination of the
tract he discovered evidences of the ex.
istence of mammoth vein of anthra-
cite coal beneath the tract Drilling
was resorted to and few days ago a
core of seventeen and one-half feet was
taken out and the full thickness of the
seam was then not fully shown. Ac.
cording to careful estimates, if the
mammoth vein exists under the whole
area, as it really seems probable, the
tract which cost them $4,000 is now
worth not less than $3,000,000 to Smith
and Wyman. who were both men OF
small means. %s.G NF
