PORT TREVORTON.

Harvey Stahlnecker and his sister
Annie, of your burg, were the wei
come guests OF the Rothelmel fam
lily last Sunday -, While we write,
the atmosphere is rather flaky and
ii really looks rs though we might
have sleighing. OF course the snow
would spoil our skating, but as we
have been enjoying that excellent
sport for Il fortnight, we would most
willingly sacrifice it in preference to
the merry parties that are originated
only when the snow lies deep on the
ground . Herndon is booming
town, but its hills are the source of
great annoyance 1t was only re
Gently that Mrs. Wolf, the well
known teamstross, with II span Of
mules and II wagon heavily laden,
was toiling up the steep hill leading
from the depot. 1t so happened
that the portion of the load filling
the hindmost part of the wagon
consisted of hogshead Of molasses
billed to Gen. Williams and which
was, by reason of the steep ascent,
grayitated TO the earth IL is need
less to say that the barrel was de-
molishel, that the saccharine stuff,
seeking Il lower level, Hooded The
railway, and that the immediate at
mosphere tinged with profanity was
Of cerulean hue, while the urchin
on the curb was singing out, ooh,
fora slap Jack" . On Sunday morn
ing the populace of the village and
vicinity had gathered to Squire Ar
nolds TO witness the funeral of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Shafer. When
the procession was about ready to
start intelligence was received that
Jacob Houtz's house was ON fire.
Immediately the crowd thronGed in
that direction, but after covering
the distance were glad to find the
flames already under control. How
the fire originated is not defniately
known, and it seems all the more
strange that bed should be found
burning in broad daylight, when the
only stove containing fire was in an
adjoining room, and no trace of
ignition found. At the time of the
fire there were none OF the fam
lily about the premises and a
serious conhagration was averted
only by the timely discovery and the
prompt action of neighbors.

The Stony Creek quarry strike has
been declared off. 1t began last May,
has cost over 5000, 900, has caused the
property in the vicinity to depreciate
over 40 per cent, and compelled the
quarry owners to throw up contracts
amounting to half million dollars.
Colonel James T. Sherman of Hart
ford, assistant quartermaster general,
was taken to the retreat for the insane
on Saturday afternoon, where he is now
as comfortable as his condition will per-
nit. He came out of the somnolent
condition on Saturday in somewhat
more pronounced condition of insanity
and it was thought best not to no longer
defer his removal. 1t is singular fact
that Lieutenant Colonel Bernard F.
Blakeslee, who was assistant quarter
master general under Governor Harri,
son, is an inmate of the retreat, in a
hopeless condition of insanity.
The Starkweather and Ford gambling
house was raided in Willimantic last
night by the police. Ex-chief of Police
Hill was arrested, and eight young men
belonging to the best families in town
were hauled in with him. The affair
has created big sensation.

City Engineer Cairns Visits Several Massa-
chusetts Towns.
Probably the most important new
question to come before the public of
the city of Waterbury is that of sewage
disposal, otherwise than emptying into
the Naugatuck river. Mayor Webster
recommended the appointment of a
committee to consider this important
subject, composed of a member of the
board of aldermen, a member of the
board of councilmen and City Engineer
R. A. Cairns. The suggestions of his
honor were acted upon and such COM
mittee appointed. The members of it
have met and organized and began the
preliminary work. Last week the
city engineer visited some of the
cities where circumstances have forced
the consideration of sewage disposal
on the people. At Worcester, Mass, was
found the system known as the chemical
precipitation system, where by the use
of chemicals the solids of the sewer dis
charge are coagulated, separated from
the fluids and sunk to the bottom of q
reservoir prepared for the purpose from
which it is taken at short intervals. AT
South birmingham, Mass, was found
the most noted instance known of sew.
age alteration through sand and gravel
The disposing ground covers an area OF
sixty-nine acres and IS removed from
the inhabited district of the city. The
system gives the greatest satisfaction
and the working of it SO well has re-
moved every obstacle heretofore advanc
ed against it on the ground of not being
practicable in cold weather. The Metro
politan sewerage commissions works
at Boston were also visited and a large
amount of useful and interesting infor
nation collected. The experimental
station of the state board of health al
Lawrence was also examined by the
city engineer. The right steps are
indeed being taken in this important
matter, and should circumstances con
front us with the necessity of taking
immediate steps at any day to diver
our sewage from the bed of the Manga
tuck river we will be prepared to NEE
the emergency in the best manner pos
sible, and not by adopting the frs
method at hand.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Death of William H. Ball Who Was Shot
Friday.
William II. Ball died Saturday even
ing from the affects of a bullet wound
inflicted by pistol in the hands of John
Carter last Friday morning. The bullet
of SO caliber entered at the right side,
passed through the stomach and lodged
in the left side. Internal hemorrhages
were the immediate cause of death.
Coroner Mix took an ante-mortem
statement Saturday afternoon. Carter
was arrested Saturday by Deputy
Sheriff Carney and taken to Bradford
and locked up. He will probably be
charged with manslaughter. He is a
stone cutter by trade and belongs to a
Grand Army post in Fall River. Ball
was 81 years of age and leaves a wife
and three small children. He was a
painter by trade, but had conducted a
barber shop at Story Creek for some
time.
James w. Harrington, a blacksmith
employed by Norcross Brothers of Stony
Creek, met with a terrible death Satur-
day night. He was returning to his
home in the village about 11:40 o'clock.
He took to the railroad track and was
run down by the midnight ''cannonbalP'
freight. The body was literally torn to
pieces.

But the people are not dumb, Tor they

been obliged to use for the last five days,
because Kelly's hens say they cannot lay

The change has come and we are all at it
again, and Kelly has his usual allowance
of eggs this morning, and drops the price
of eoge from As Cents to 3S cents dozen.
This is drop of 7 cents dozen in one

FISH AND GAME.

Laws Proposed and to BE Proposed
About Rabbit Hunting.
No game or fish legislation of great
Importance has yet been introduced into
the present legislature, and it is not
probable that the present system will be
seriously disturbed by this assembly.
The frequency of light SHOWS of late,
so conductive to the capture of cotton
tails, perhaps accounts for the legisla-
ton concerning the ferret, which made
its appearance Friday in the house.
This brings up an interesting point in
connection with the present methods of
rabbit hunting. 1t is fact that white
rats have largely succeeded the ferret as
an invader of rabbits burrows. They
serve the purpose excellently, and rab-
bit hunters. who don't like the ferret
law have been chuckling over the
opportunity offered to evade it's provis-
ions. 1t is more than likely, however,
that the white rat will be the subject of
the serious attention of Connecticuts
lawmakers, before the close of the jan
uary session of the general assembly of
1898.
