COLOMBIA AND QUARANTINE.
Why the Concord Was Ordered to Aspin.
 wnll-Tromble Feared.

wnll-Trouble Feared.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 24--The Navy De partment, in explaining the order to Ad miral Walker to send the gunboat Con. cord to Aspinwall from La Guayra, Vene- zuela, states that they do not fear any trouble there, but that she will be on hand should anything occur. Consul Simms has notified the Department that there is good deal of complaint on ac- count of the quarantine orders against the United States.
 The inhabitants of the republic of Co lombia think the regulations too strict and claim that trade is paralyzed, and that if it continues there will be trouble The Navy Department, however, does no fear any such outbreak, but, as Commo- dore Ramsey said to-day:
 "We have not had a vessel there fol Iome time and think it may be good t. iend one, so the Concord was ordered tc the Isthmus. The Navy Department has three war vessels near by if any trouble should occur, for the Chicago and Rear sage are at Venezuelan ports, dista mt about days sail"
 Minister Pacheco, at Guatemala, cables the State Department that that country has established Q strict quarantine against all American ports.

-DIKEMAN,s NARROW ESCAPE.

A Discharged Workman Looking For the
 Superintendent's Blood.
 Charles S. .Dikeman of this city recently became superintendent of the works of the Eagle Bicycle Go in Torrington. Immediately upon taking charge he made a number of changes, including the discharge of many of the employees. As a result he became generally dis liked, and yesterday had an experience that he does not care to repeat.
 Arthur Bellamy was among those dis charged by the new superintendent. He walked into the office of the com. pany yesterday and drawing a revolver attempted to shoot Mir Dikeman. The latter escaped into another room and an officer was summoned who succeeded in arresting the man. In the struggle the revolver was discharged, the bullet en- tering Bellamy's wrist. This morning Bellamy was bound over to the superior court.

DRC. A. LINDsLEY, secretary of the state board of health, in addressing the undertaker's convention, said that in cases where it was expected that post mortem examination of the remains would be necessary, the undertaken should ascertain whether embalming would interfere with the autopsy. He also asked the assistance of the members of the association in securing the pas sageNof law by the legislature making a removal permit sufficient to allow the interment of body.
 THE writer was a witness of little incident, the other day, that is without parallel. It happened on Bank street. A coal cart in charge of an honest look ing Irishman rattled along over the pavements, while the driver searched his pockets in vain for the match that was not there. He wanted to smoke and looked up and down the street for somebody having a "light," until a dude of the latest cut came in sight. He was smoking a cigarette and seemed surprised when the old man stopped his horse and said:
 "I say, sir; would ye give me fire for me pipe?"
 The dude blushed, looked hurt, but quickly recovered his composure and, to his credit be it slid, handed up his cigarette to the laborer and passed on, without waiting to hear the thanks and praises showered upon him.

 THE use of crushed stone for the making of sidewalks promises to revo- lutionize that business in this city, and to do more towards making clean, dry and beautiful walks than was ever dreamed of when road commissioners and councilmen debated the purchase of the stone crusher and steam roller.
 In front of the city's yard on Benedict street is piece of walk 100 feet long,
 made of crushed stone, half inch size and dust, and any citizen who will take the pains to examine 1t and learn that
 he may have a walk like it put down for twenty. five cents per yard, has not spark of local pride, or thought for the clty's beauty, who will allow his property to be fronted by wet, muddy, or uneven sidewalk. In fact I believe that when a new street is laid out in the future and the grade established, that
 the curbing should be put down and
 assessed for, or ordered put down, and
 that the street department should then finish up the sidewalk with crushed stone; and if any property owner de
 sires to have Tagging or tile or any different material, and will put it down immediately he may do so, otherwise finish up all alike. This method is adopted in cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts with marked success.

 IT is great thing to have an aesthetic taste in these days of cholera, typhoid fever and malarla. There are house. keepers in Waterbury-justa a few-who could not be induced to keep a garbage can m their back yards. The garbage in their houses is burned, and believe this to be the proper way of disposing of refuse from the kitchen. It insures freedom from the i'll smelling and sicken- ing gases of decaying vegetable matter. If the people would burn their garbage instead of throwing it in the back yard or leaving it in open barrels exposed to sun and rain, as they persistentiy do, it would simplify difficult and disagree able problem.

''There is nothing so fatal to crawfsh as

Washington Star writer. "When I make a

not to be able to turn upon their backs. If
they do so, they work their feet until ex-

"The worst enemies cvawish have are
cells, whose ~favorite food is one-year-old
craw6sh. Bigger ones seem very rarely to
be eaten by the cells. If you want plenty of

are very voraciousf feeders. As soon as dusk
sets in each evening they become lively and
move about with great agility. They swim

before they get to be as big as four inches.
by the time they are eight years Old they

"In Europe, l am told, fishermen gather
