THE Story Of LlFE.


Only the same old story told in dInsrent
strain.
Sometimes a smilO of gladness. and then
stab of pain,
ing rain.
Sometimes it seems TO borrow from the rose its
crimson hue,
to brilliant blue,
Sometimes as false as Satan. sometimes as
Heaven true.
Only the same old story. but obi how the
changes ringl
Propne, and priest. and peasant. soldier and
scholar. and king;
Sometimes tho ewarmest hand.ciOsp leaves in
the palm sting.
Sometimes In the hush of even. sometimes in,
the midday strife.
Sometimes with dove-like calmness sometimes
with passions rife;
We dream It, write it. 1.-Two i,-,nis weird. Wild

AGAINST THE NEW ENGLAND ROAD.

Suit Brought For Injuries to a Trotting
 Horse.
 The property of the New York & New England railway, on White street, Dan- bury, was attached yesterday afternoon in suit brought by D. w. Cotton, of Foxboro, Mass. The attachment was for $1 ,000 and the papers were served by City Sheriff Crofutt. D. w. Cotton, who brings the suit, is wealthy and well known horseman. He shipped trotter to the Danbury fair on the fifth of last October. At East Hartford the animal was thrown down in the car and the plaintiff claims that it happened through the carelessness of the railway employees. The horse was SO severely injured that it could not be used for some time and Mir Cotton values the loss of the use of the animal at $1 ,OOO.
 The case of l.. H. Hyde against the New York & New England railroad came up in an unexpected form in the United States circuit court yesterday. It is a suit for 10000 damages as the re- suit of an accident in Willimantic. A week ago the case was ready for trial before jury. General Butler appeared for the plaintiff, and Charles A. Prince, general counsel for the road, for the de fense. MT Prince suggested to General Butler that a settlement of the case could be made outside of the court. The case was withdrawn from the jury, and Messrs Butler and Prince opened nego- tiations which resulted in a settlement subject to approval at the roads head, quarters. When MT Prince reported the result to President Corbin he was in. formed that the road would not accept the settlement. General Butler there fore appeared before Judge Aldrich yes | terdaV and filed motion tO have the court enforce the terms of the agree ment entered into between him and MI Prince, or, if the court was not inclined to do that, to have the jury called to gether as early as possible for trial O. | the case,

A Horrible Accident at the Benedict &

A Horrible Accident at the Benedict &
 Burnham Wire NEil1.
 Edward Doyle of 510 Baldwin street, an oiler employed at Benedict 6 Burn. hams, was seriously injured shortly be- fore noon to-day.
 1t is MT Doyie's duty to oil the shaft ing and other machinery in the com pany's new wire mill. He worked on the lower machinery the greater part of the forenoon and later started to oil the pulleys and shaftings attached to the ceiling, using a ladder.
 Doyle had begun to oil loose. pulley, when his left hand caught in the. wheel and in less than. a., twinkling his .arm was wrenched from the socket at the elbow and the victim fell to the floor. Word was at once telephoned to Dr Benedict, who went immediately to the factory. He examined the injured man and found that the member was terribly crushed at the elbow: A few tissues held the parts together. The arm be low the shoulder was broken in two place.
 The injured man was removed tC Doctor Benedlct's office. It was found the shoulder joint. Doyle was made al , comfortable as possible. He lay on stretcher at the doctors office thi afternoon and told a DEMOCRAT re
 porter how the accident occurred. H. , was afterward removed to the hospital He is 52 years old and has wife an | two children. He has been employe r at the factory for year and half. < It is most remarkable that the ma !. retained consciousness during the ordes n and bore his great sufferings withou
 complaining. He was very weak, bu
 talked freely with the reporter an
 emphasized the fact that he was
 faithful workman and always enjoye y the confidence of his employers. Htsr tr--
 kThe work of a shafting oiler is a g tended with great danger, owing to ti e many belts and pulleys, and the onl e wonder is that more accidents like thi
 of to-day do not occur.

AMUSEM ENTS,
"Night and Morning."

Might and Morning"
 Edward Arden appeared in his new play, Might and Morning." before two large audiences yesterday, which showed that melo-drama appeals to a large part of the population. MT Arden is undaunted in his ambition, and as the seasons go by, he becomes with each one, more securely fixed in public favor. In Might and Morning" he has ample opportunity for displaying the force and fire of passion, and he keeps the interest of the audience warmly en- listed.--Newark Journal. At the opera house this evening.
 Henry Burlesque Co.
 The performance opened with an even- ing reception at the art gallery, which pleased the spectators from the first. The costumes are striking. Among those of the company whose specialties were particularly good were Frank J. Dyer, jig and reel dancer; Emerson and Cook, comedians; Prince Satsuma, Japanese juggler and equilibrist Ada Henry and William F. Kaye. Nearly all of Satsuma's juggling tricks were original. They were highly apprecia- ted. The company is good one.-The Sun. At the opera house Thursday evening.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

If the New Haven sports decide to have base ball team m effort will be made to sign Gruber and Jimmy Don- nelly.
 Brooklyn patrons of the national game will be gratified to learn that Manager John Ward yesterday signed big Dan Brouthers to play first base for the Brooklyns during the coming sea son.
 The failure of the Yale and Harvard delegates to arrange series of games is disappointing to most of the collegians who, while they approve of the de. termination of their representatives not to be dictated to by Harvard, are ex. tremely anxious that the crimson and blue meet on the diamond t!:is spring. The Yale sentiment, of course, is that Harvard was at fault last year for the failure of the teams to play, but Harvard's proposition that three games be played the first at Cambridge, second at New Haven and the last on neutral ground IS looked upon as fair by Yale men generally. And if, as Harvard's representatives claim, they are willing that the second game be played Com. mencem ent day in New Haven, the reason for Yale's refusal to agee to the three games scheduled is not apparent.

FIRE. ALARM SERVICE.
A New Repeater Ordered From the

 w. E. Deckrow of Boston, represent ing the Gamewell fire alarm system, ap- peared before the board of fire commits sioners last evening and furnished estf- mates of the cost of extending the sys- tenn in the city, the common council having appropriated $2,OOO for this pur- pose. At present there are but two cir cults in Waterbury, which are supplied by a two circuit repeater. The de- mands on this repeater are almost more than it can stand. In case one circuit got out of order the part of the city governed by it would be without pro lection. The board will shortly give MT Deckrow an order for five circuit re. peater. This will be all that Waterbury will need for twenty yeers probably and the fire alarm district will be divided into four circuits. The new repeater will cost $700 and S200 will be allowed for the old repeater, which will be- re turned. Ten or a dozen new boxes will probably be erected.

He had been traced as far as New York where he disappeared. He reached Meriden last night and in that city begged enough money to carry him to his home here.

WHAT THIS ROOSTER OVERHEARD IN A FACTORY YESTERDAY.
 Harry-'T say, Jce, where do you get that flour tha6 makes such nice faky bread as I see in your pail this morning9"
 Joe-"My wife buys that from Kelly. It is one of Kelly's famous brands. for got the name."
 Harry-"Well, my wife buys one of those famous brands that Kelly handles from groceryman, but it don't make bread like that"
 Joe-''That is easily explained. You know Kelly don't bake or sell any flour unless it is in his storeroom at least three months. This gives the flour 8 chance to cure, which like all grain requires 8 cer- tain amount of time before it is fit to make good bread"
 This is also the reason why Kelly's flour takes more water, makes more bread and of course the natural consequence is it keeps moist longer.
 Kelly says that old flour is now quoted in New York market 40 cents a barrel higher than new. Watch the drop in eggs. Flour quotations same as before. Flour delivered to all parts of the city at quotation prices and if not satisfactory taken book and no charge for the baking
