does not understand our motives in

We understand those words, for Jesus

Doings OF Day In the Valley Below

NAUGATUCK, Sept 6.-James Crindle,
who was showed off the platform yester-
day, had two toes smashed by the
wheels of the cars. He was also bruised
somewhat on the shin bone. DIR Bull
took care of the case. This was the
only mishap of the day that we have
heard of. We were pleased to notice
that not one fireman from either this or
other towns appeared any the worse for
drink. 1t was a model parade in this
respect.
The Port Jefferson excursion party of
about $50 arrived home little before
II o'clock. The foundry also sent a
picnic party of two large bus loads to
Lake Quassapaug. There was also a
small party in the evening at the resi-
dence of Burtop Warner. Large num-
bers attended the ball game between
the Naug&tucks and AGNES in the after
noon. They must have divided a nice
sum for the days work.
The granite steps for the bank build
ing are in position and the masons will
soon begin to lay buff-faced bricks.
The firemen turned over the food that
was not needed yesterday to the Kings
Daughters, and the president and secre-
tary distributed it to many families
What remained would have easily fed
three hundred, after some six hundred
had eaten their fill.
The next excitement here will be the

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

Nominations Made BY a Committee of
One From Each Ward.
Waterbury's democratic delegates to
elect delegates to the congressional con-
vention to be held September 81 in Turn
hall, New Haven, met in the police
court room of City hall last evening.
James A. Hynes was chosen chairman
and Thomas Andrews secretary. A
committee on credentials consisting of
J. II. Duggan, T. H. Hayes, P. Sherlock
and John G. Altman was appointed by
the chairman. Twenty-Five delegates
were found to be present, three of them
being substitutes.
Chairman Hynes stated the business
of the convention and appointed Messrs
Kennedy, Hayes, Doherty and Altman
as tellers.
Mr. Altman moved that the chairman
appoint a committee of one from each
ward to retire and bring in list of
nine delegates, giving as reason for
this mode of procedure that it would
save time.
John S. Fay spoke for harmonious,
consolidated action, and said that this
method of electing the delegates would
be satisfactory to him provided that
John Fitzpatrick's name be on the list
that Mr. Fitzpatrick, a lifelong demo-
| crat, who had worked so hard and
1
every occasion, should be thus honored.
Attorney F. Clohessey of the third
protested against a committee being
thus sent out saying that no one dele
gate could speak the choice of the other
delegates in his ward. The motion was
carried, however, and the chairman APP
pointed J. II. Dugan, Thomas H. Hayes,
j. Doherty and Terrence Coyle as sue h
committee. They retired to an outer
room and brought in the following list
of delegates to the congressional conven-
ton: John P. Dugan, T. F. Flynn,
Thomas H. Hayes, John F. Garren, j ohm
Moriarty, John J. McAuliff, Terrence
Coyle, Joseph Doherty and James
| Hynes. The acceptance of the report
was moved. Mr. Clohessy endeavored to
amend the motion so that the names be
voted for separately, and was seconded
by Mr. Donovan.
j. S. Fay made another plea for the
old method of balloting for the dele
gates and was called down several times
as not talking to the question. Mr.
IClohessy's amendment was finally put
and lost; II to 5. The motion was then
put on the acceptance of the report and
was carried by the same vote, after
which the convention adjourned.
