A L1nemRn Has 8 Narrow Escape
 From Death.
 Yesterday afternoon as Robert Perry, a ineman employed by the Postal Tele- graph company, was engaged in trans- ferring some wires across Main street, Birmingham, he received a shock and for some moments his case looked very serious. He was at the time employed on the top of fifty foot pole. In shak- ing out coil of wire it crossed over the trolley wire of the electric street railroad. The effect was appalling in the extreme. Perry became entangled in the wires, screaming all the while like a mad man. Luckily hIs companions took in the situation at glance and succeeded in releasing him from his perilous situa- tion before serious damage was done to him.

AMUSEM ENTS.
"ShenandOah."


 Shenandoah" which is to be pre- sented at the opera house this evening. has a reputation almost world wide. This is both because of it's genuine merit and because it is the best play written on the late war, wherein the conflicting interests of the north and south have been so ingeniously inter woven as not to give offense to the sympathisers of either cause. The play abounds in exciting situations and 8 genuine battle scene with horse ridden by General Sheridan heading the army, but these are happily relieved by deli cate touches of the most exquisite comedy.
 = ''The White Slave"
 The dramatic situations of "The White Slave" the late Bartley Camp bells perennial play, were evolved in such way at the National theatre last evening as to keep the lockers on well interested. Campball had the knack of compelling the attention of an audience on account of his skill in working out scenes and his cleverness at characteri zation. These qualities are shown in ''The White Slave. Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger. At the opera house Friday evening.

 The property owners on River street were given a hearing relative to the building of sewer on that street, and a lremonstrance was offered signed by four residents only, all of whom it was dis covered, afterwards, had sewer connec- tions from some other direction. It was finally voted that the prayer of the petitioners be granted and that the sewer be built.
 c. G. Belfit and Edward McManus were granted licenses to make connec- tions with the sewers.
 In the road board the first business transacted was the passing of a vote ordering the street inspector to build two sidewalks, one on Cole street and the other on Orchard street, at a cost not exceeding $65 each.
 City Engineer Cairns made his report in regard to the approaches to the Bald win street bridge. He estimated the land damages at $5,000. The following vote was passed.
 "Voted, that the board recommend to the court of common council that they be given authority to make the changes | at the Baldwin street bridge and do the same according to the plans and specif.
 cations in engineers office, provided
 that the Meriden, Waterbury & Connec
 ticut River Railroad company do not dc \ the work in such time as may be limited
 and designated"
 The engineer reported the layout of
 Luke street, between Baldwin and
 Bridge streets, and the board voted tC
 visit the locality.
 Petitioners for a sidewalk on South
 Elm street, north side, were given leave
 to withdraw.
 City Engineer Cairns was instructed
 to give Contractor Patrick Thompson ar
 itimized bill of the Grand street paving job, which was taken out of hls hands
 and completed by the city.
 \ The conditional contract drawn III
 between the city and the Meriden, Wa
 terbury & Connecticut river railroad 1T regard to furnishing stone to macadam ize the streets of the city, was read anC
 was made the subject of a lengthy dis i; cussion. The commissioners and mayo were unanimous in the opinion tha } trap rock was superior to granite fo road making. Commissioner Byrol ] wanted the contract ratified at once but Commissioner Reilly favored goinl
 slow and securing bids.
 Colonel Doherty appeared before tn board in the interest of a granite com pany, as did John Tucker, and wante' the privilege of bidding for the work. A proposition was read from the Johl 7 S. Lane 6 Son of Meriden, who own stone crushing plant and supply severa
 cities with it. They offered to suppl
 the city with any amount at $1 30 ton

William Grant of Bridgeport Denied
 Holy Sacraments

Holy Sacraments.
 Bishop McMahon has just received a brief from the Propaganda, Rome, by virtue of which all priests are forbidden to administer the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church to William Grant of Bridgeport until he accepts the verdict of the sacred congregation of last July, and separates from the woman whom he holds as his second wife; although the privilege will not be denied him, at Rome, of presenting fresh proofs of the nullity of his former marriage, if any such be in his pos session.
 William Grant is the prominent Bridgeport man who divorced his first wife to enable him to marry his present helpmate. The Roman Catholic au- thorities declined to recognize his second marriage, and he then set up the claim that his first marriage was not legal in the church, the woman being Protest ant at the time of their marriage. She afterwards joined the Roman Catholic church and thus legalized the marriage.
 The case was tried before Vicar General James Hughes in the absence of Bishop McMahon, and he decided the first marriage legal. Grant appealed to the Boston ecclesiastical court and Father Hughes decision was overruled. The case was carried to Rome by Father Hughes, and his judgment was sus- tained.

ABOUT THE NEW ENGLAND.
Have the VanderbIlts Secured Control of
 the Road?

Have the VanderbIlts Secured Control of
 the ROad2
 The statement was positively made yesterday afternoon that the Vanderbilt interests had obtained control of the New England road, and that H. Nick. Twombly would succeed Austin Corbin as president of the company. It is re- ported that Charles Parsons and the Bos- ton directors formed an alliance with the Vanderbilts. Friends of Mir Corbin admitted that he was to retire, and that the New England would be made part of the New York Central system. On the other hand, the New York Central people make positive denials of the truth of the rumor.
 The New York 6 New England road are making a large increase in their motive power. In addition to the six new engines with which they began the year from the Rogers works at Pater- son, N. J., they have since bought three large compound engines for freight from the Baldwin works at Philadel- part of which are of the Forney double end type for suburban service.
 Tie story that there was 8 permanent rupture of freight relations between the New York 6 New England and the Erie roads, and that Chicago 6 Erie had notified it's agents not to receive freight for Newburg, is untrue. It's only basis was the fact that, during a recent gIut of freight, shippers were notified to hold back their goods. The embarrass- ment was but temporary, and waa all over with eeveFal weeks ago.

 NAUGATUCK March S.-This town has a large number of societies all helpful in their particular sphere toward their own membership, except one, whose members devote their spare time and means to the assistance of the needy, paying no regard to creed, nationality or color, not being connected with any particular church. The fifty lady mem- bers belonging to the different denomi- nations find out those who need sym pathy or aid, report the same to the ex- ecutive officers and they are provided for without any other party being the wiser; neither does this society ever beg for means. They pray to the Heavenly Father that means will be furnished Sin his name" and also pray that he will send them to places to use it. Thus far they have had all that was needful, large donations being handed in without their even knowing where it came from. The territory worked embraces the whole town. The president is Miss Lizzie Morse, vice president Miss Winnie Warner, treasurer Mrs B. Mouthrope and the name of the society is the Kings Daughters.
 Large numbers attended service at St Francis church last evening.

No Pin Holes In the Me
 KInley Bill. KellV'S Advice to the Democrats.

Let the tariff alone because you can &C., complish nothing, and fruitless agitation will disgust the country. Muzzle the fanities and the cranks who want to revo- lutionize the currency, for a financial panic will not help you in the election this year. Attend to business practically such as making appropriation for the Waterbury post office and such other needed public improvements with not too much expenditure of time in partisanship, and the country will then have less fear of another democratic administration. Raise no disturbance about persons in the pen sion bureau, the census bureau and var Hious other branches of public service. As for investigation, very good; let the light shine, but it may be remembered that when Mir Springer's committee investi- gated the electoral fraud of 1877, it found a great deal more than it wanted, and when MT Rosecrans took off the roof of the treasury, the supposed discrepancy of two cents in thirty years, did not help him much; and when the leading grocers of Waterbury tried to advance the price of eggs to 35c per dog, and Kelly ham mered them down to 29c and they stayed there, was the time Kelly came out on top. ....
