Worlds Fair Excursion.


Stanley Orviss will give an illustrated
Worlds fair lecture at the opera house on
Tuesday, for the benefit of Durand di-
vision, X. of P. The Lowell Courier says:
To say that the evening proved one of
pleasure and profit to all present would
but feebly express the truth of the matter.
For nearly two hours, Mr. Stanley Orris
held the close attention of the audience.
and his fluent speech, together with the
magnificent illustrations, delighted all who
were fortunate enough 10 be present.
The Pay Train"
The New York Herald speaking of Miss
Bindley, who appears as the star of the
play, The Pay Train, at the opera house
Monday evening, says: She is genius.
She is equally at home in pathos or COM
edy; vocalist worthy leading position
in grand opera; dancing poet, every
step she takes is the poetry of motion; a
face as beautiful as nature could mike it
and one that no artist could do justice to. -
The Pay Train" is the most realistic
comedy drama ever produced in this city.

Slavery Days" played to a large au-
dience at the opera house last night and

ment of the kind ever seen in Waterbury

DOWN THE VALLEY NOTES

The Waterbury BicSolists Were Arrested
For Telling an OfEacer to Put His Feet
to Soak.
NAUaATucK, Oct 28.-There are quite a
number of persons in town who have told
the story so much THAT our rubber COM
pany did not put any rubber in their shoes"
that they actually themselves believe it.
If any one will take notice of the load after
load of para gum that passes from the dry
ing house to the mill rooms of the factories
they will soon give up the idea. The diff
ferent factories when working fulls time
can turn out about thirty-five thousand
pairs of shoes day, besides two or more
thousand pairs of boots and it requires
vast amount of pure gum, even when some
shoddy is used, to furnish stock to do it.
The Waterbury bieyelists, who were ar
rested on Thursday evening, have no one
to blame but themselves for the arrest.
The club here even went so far as to send
a man to the club in Waterbury and in
form them of the ordinance requiring a
bell to be used at all crossings. Thursday
evening one of the riders came near run
ming over lady without any signal being
given, and Oficer Condin cautioned them,
when one of the riders told him to go put
his feet to soak. He told Chief Hosrford,
who drove his team around the city road
and met them. Finding they had no bells
on their machines he brought them in.
Hugh Shield, who was on trial yesterday
morning for abusing his wife and had his
case continued, beat her again yesterday
and was arrested. This morning he was
given thirty days in Jail with costs.
The new German hall at Union City was
opened with dance last night. There
was large attendance.
The Malleable works, Durham hosiery
and paper box shop are all still running on
short time, with little prospects of any
thing better very soon.
The E. H. Darlington general store is
being made more attractive by the painters
on the exterior and is undergoing a general
cleaning up inside.
A letter is being circulated for sigma
lures requesting Murphy, the temperance
worker, to make week or two visit here
The fifty horse power Ball engine, to in
crease the capacity of the Glove company's
electric plant, is in the companys' YARD
ready to be set up.
Treasurer Garrison, on order of the dis
trict committee, has paid Miss McNally
for services rendered as teacher without 4
certificate, out of the district fund.
The rain did not prevent large gather
ing at the annual ball of the Queen of the
Forest circle last night.
A full dress rehearsal of the Naugatuck
Minstrel Co will be held in the Gem opers
house at 80 tomorrow afternoon.

New YORK, Oct 28.-The championship
season of the intercollegiate Football asso-
citation is formally opened in this city to-
day. Princeton is to play Wesleyan. The
hotel corridors are full of sports and COL
lege men. There is considerable betting.
Money is not placed on the result of the
game as far as ultimate victory is con-
cerned, for it is conceded that Princeton
will win. and win handsomely; there is
much speculation, however, as to Prince
toms ability to keep the Connecticut men
from scoring. Princeton will play her
strongest team and of course Wesleyan
will introduce the only team she has. L

Mcfarland VII Escane.

NEW HAVEN, Oct 2s.-The sensati on
caused by the discovery of shortage in
the accounts of Joseph Mcfarland, finan-
cial clerk of the board of selectmen, is still
the talk of the town. Although there is
an abundance of proof that Mcfarland
stole about 81 800 from the town, no steps
have been taken by the authorities to pros
ecute him. Town counsel, William s.
Parsons, has laid all the facts in the case
before City Attorney Fox, but the latter
has not seen fit to arrest Mcfarland. The
city attorney claims that the evidence pre-
scented to him is not sufficient to warrant a
prosecution.

subject of 30 much comment and OF so

council which appointed him and has
authorized the extra expenditure OF his
department. The position is no sinecure.
II pays at present salary OF fi2S per

poses to reduce TO 800, and its duties have
hitherto been such as would have required
almost the entire time of any good lawyer,

oceasioned by the Isensee defaication. Up
to the first OF October the city. since its In

the men on those roads will be asked to go
out. If they decide to join their brethren

INCOME TAX UNroPrLAR.


strOng Opposition BFought TO Bear on
Ways and Means Committee.
WAsHIsoTos CRY. Nov. A-The Demo-
cratic members Of the ways and means
committee are experiencing much diff
Guilty in their endeavors to complete the
new tariff bill and have 1t ready for sub
mission to their Republican colleagues at
a meeting of the full committee on Mon
day. The details Of the internal revenue
schedule and the income tax provisions
are yet incomplete and somewhat indefi-
mite. Indeed. a strong influence has been
brought TO bear within the last forty-eight
hours to induce the committee to abandon
altogether tho income tax provision, but
the position OF McMiliin, Bryan, Whiting
aud others has been so resolute
in favor of this policy that it ap-
pears impossible for the committee
to abandon the income tax fully without
dividing the Democratic party. 1t seems
probable. however. that the income tax
provision will not be of the sweeping
character that was at first contemplated.
The present plans are TO impose q tax on
legacies; on incomes of large corporations;
on incomes from real estate and other
property in the country owned or con-
trolled by aliens. as well as to require the
stamping of certain documents and
special license to certain classes of busi-
ness.
The subcommittee on internal revenue
is still AT work and will probably conclude
its labors some time tomorrow night.
No changes of importance are contem-
plated in the internal revenue tax on to-
bacco or beer, though there probably will
be slight increase of the whisky tax.
