Eggs Within Eggs.

We have never been convicted of tell ing fish stories, nor yarns of any kind that sounded in any degree fishy, but here is one for the yarn spinner to inn prove upon: Mrs. Dr. Campbell recently found two eggs, the fruit of Plymouth Rock hen, which were fully as large as goose eggs. Upon breaking these eggs they were found to contain the yolk and yellow in the same proportion found in other eggs, and in addition to this each one contained another perfectly formed egg of yolk and yellow inclosed in a hard well formed shell. This inner egg is of the shape and size of the ordinary hens egg. One of these peculiar combi- nations was opened at one end enough to let out the ingredients of the large eggs, while the inclosed still remains in- cased in the outer shell and will be care fully preserved for inspection by the curious.-Centralia (Mo.)

The result of the English parliament ary elections as we go to press is that Gladstone will have a small majority with the aid of the Irish vote, but it will not, it is said, be enough to enable him to govern.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Blood Poisoning and Death Caused by
incubation From a Cow.
The death of ex-County Commissioner
Cannon, who lived at Cannon station, is
reported. The fatal illness was caused
by incubation from a COW which caused
blood poisoning. He contracted the
disease eleven weeks ago. The circum-
stances were peculiar. He had a
troublesome hang nail upon one of his
fingers and one evening before going
out to care for the cattle he pulled the
nail off. After a short time the patients
condition became critical.
Simon Gaul of Terry Island, while
crossing the Connecticut river on the

dent yesterday afternoon. She was
coming out of the yard located next tc

the son of George F. Davis. was shoot
ing an air gun. He happened to fire
Just as Miss Bachelor came out, the
ball striking her over the right eye with
almost as much force as a revolver
bullet. DIR Gilnack, who extracted it
found it deeply imbedded in the bon'
and flatteued by the force with which i
struck. 1t is not thought that anything
of serious nature will result.

DUNCAN SUCCEEDS BELDEN.
A Democratic Clerk Appointed by til
Board of Selectmen.

A Democratic Clerk Appointed by the
Board of Selectmen.
The board of selectmen met in their
rooms last evening, Messrs Pinney, Nc
Elligott and Grelle being present. The
parties from whom the supplies for the
almshouse are to be purchased during
the month of January were designated
by vote of the board.
SeIectman Grelle then presented the
following vote, which Selectn an Nc
Elligott seconded:
"Voted, that we, the board of select
men of the town of Waterbury, dis.
pense with the services of E 81. Belden
on the first of January, 1898, and ap-
point in his place as clerk of the board.
James l.. Duncan, his services to COM
mence on the above date at the salary
prevlouly paid for the same Office"
First Selectmen Pinney refused to
vote on the motion and claims the right
as first selectman to appoint the clerk.
His claim is, that being responsible for
everything that passes through the
office, it is only right that he should
have his own clerk. He hired Mr. Bel
den on October 1, as clerk of the board
for one year, and says he will not recoe
nize Mr. Duncan in that position. NJ
Belden has held the place since 1888
"Ileh hC was ny
Sedgwick, then first selectman. The
salary of the clerk is 5000 year.
Mr. Grelle was seen to-day by re
porter of the DEMOCRAT relative to tht
action of the hoard of selectmen. HI
said: Mr. McElllgott and believe tina
we have right to our own clerk, seeing
that our party is in the majority on thu
board. 1t is all nonsense to say that an!
man is responsible for the actions of thu
selectmen. AS we see our duty accord
ing to the law every member is hell
equally responsible. 1t is true, indeed
that Mr. Pinney has more to do than thu
other two members and for that he re
ceives large salary. No sensible mai
can deny that the board should be rul
according to the ideas of the majority
and we feel that we have done only on
duty in making the changes that hav
been made"

Nelson Opera Co.


Comic opera will be the bill of fare at
the Jacques for the next two nights:
The Nelson Opera Co, composed of well
known artists, will present "Mascot,' "
Bohemian Girl" and "Chimes of Nor
mandy" The operas are nicely cos
tuned and the chorus is an exception
ally good one. Matinee to-morro "
afternoon.
THE Diamond Breaker"
"The Diamond Breaker" with its two
car loads of scenery and two tons of
massive machinery, real coal, real
mines underneath the ground, will be
the New Years attraction at the opera
house, matinee and night. Usual prices
will prevail.
1.-THE SOudan."
The great historical war picture, "The
Soudan," which will be presented at the
opera house Tuesday evening, is gen
enally conceded to have capped the
climax of stage realism. The scenery il
superb, the acting excellent and every
detail of the performance an endorse
ment of the good repute borne by Q. b
jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger, who will di
rect the great Boston theatre success
here.
Tuxedo"
Standing room only was Cne RUE u
the opera house last night. Thatcher
Tuxedo" was the attraction anG
caught the house by storm. Tuxedo
is a conglomeration of farce coined!
and minstrelsy; Thatcher's company il
the strongest aggregation of its kim
ever seen in Waterbury. The dialogu
at times is coarse. and the pruning
knife might be applied to good advan
tage in one or two spots. In other re
spects the comedy could hardly be i'm
proved. The singing of Moore, Jose
Lewis and Frillman was rapturousl
applauded. John A. Coleman's special
ties were unique and clever. Thatche
was as funny as of yore, but he shoul
know that it is not necessary to explain
his jokelets to a Waterbury audience
