Furious Gale at New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-A furious
gale is sweeping this territory this
morning, there having been no
abatement since the blizzard like
the storm set in shortly before mid
night. In Brooklyn, the gale re-
suited in the blowing down of fif-
teen twO-Story houses on Butler
street. The buildings were not
fairly completed and consequently
were not occupied and no one was
injured. The chill was registered
at 9 above zero.

The L. A. W. Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20. - The
League of American Wheelmen
will hold a constitutional cOnVcn-
ton here today when some ma
terial change will be made in the
constitution and rules of the
league. Outside of the election of
new officers, the amateur question
will be taken up, and admission of
cOlOrcd members to the league
also discussed. The Racing Board
will propose the adoption of two
classes of riders, an amateur and
semi-prOfessiona class. They an
ticipate by this move to keep men
against whom they have any proof
of Semi-profeSSiOnaliSm from COM
pCting in the amateur class. The
WheplmCn of the South intend
making a determined fight at this
convention of the l.. \. w. against
the admission of cOlOred riders.
The Northern divisions are less
conservative. They contend that
in an organization like the l.. a.
W., no restriction should be placed
upon the membership, The at
tempt to keep colored men out
of the League is likely to
occasion considerable trouble.
The l.. \. W. officials have already
begun work upon the International
race meet to be held at Chicago
next August. The selection of IL.
f. Raymond, the chairman of the
l.. \. W. Racing Board, as Prcsi-
dent Of the International Cyclists
Union, places almost the entire
management Of the races in the
hands of the l.. \. W. The Amer
can racing men will have their first
opportunity in many years to en-
counter bona-fide champions from
all countries. The l.. \. W. will
likely have official timers next sea-
son,

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 2O-A Sc
riouS riot occurred this morning at
the katZburg coal mine, in MOnOn-
gahela county, between the stri-
kprs and nOn-uniOn miners. Over
100 shots were exchanged, but for
tunately no one was injured. The
mine has been in partial Oper-
alton with cOlOred men for sew
eraI weeks, and the strikers, haV-
ing become discouraged, assaulted
at mouth Of the pit, and when the
COlOred miners, numbering sixty
men, appeared for work the strik-
ers drew their guns and revol-
vprs and opened fire on them.
Most of the negroes were armed,
and the fire was returned. For a
few minutes there was perfect
fusilade, and over a hundred shots
were exchanged. The negroe S be-
ing Outnumbered three to one, then
became frightened and fled to their
homes. 1t was then found that no
one had been injured. The men
have been on a strike for nearly
six months and are becoming des-
perate, as the operators have de-
cided to start their mines with
men.

\ Startling Contras:

Two chorus girls came o;lt If the stage door of Palmer's theater u!.c evening. One was covered with satins and laces, and the diamonds which adorned her little pink ears made the electric lights ashamed of themselves. She slammed the old wooden door with naughty air and waved pretty white gloved hand. Her coachman was quick to see his sig nal, and n private victoria was soon be side the young woman. The driver got his orders in q low tone, and the carriage was whirled away. Tho other chorus girl was pale, thin and actually looked hungry. A cheap dress, evidently de signed and made by its wcarcr, and a winter hat formed part of her costume. 4 bundle of sewing in her hand proved that she wasted no time between the acts.
 While waiting for d car she counted the few pennies ill her possession. She looked at an approaching car and at her bit of money, then resolved to walk. Manager E. E. Rice and friend had been standing near the stage door. "What n remarkable contrast in the two pictures" said the friend. ''Bothreceiv the same salary" explained the man. ager as he shrugged his shoulders, but it's the old story-the first one saves her money and the other doesn't. New York Evening Sun.

Grand Fall Opening wednesday, Oct. 4

Our formal opening of Fall and Winter s,oo5S orrurs to-morrow. Wednesday morn 5nI and will continue until Saturday even ing at 9:3u
 As usual We shall observe the event by offering special prices in every department. That this mode of celebrating which by the way originated with us-is popular may be inferred from the fact that it has received the unanimous indorsement of the Dry goods trade of Waterbury. This open ing is of more than usual interest, because our store has recently undergone a thorough renovation and enlargement which adds greatly to its comfort, convenience and beauty.
 We venture to say that there is not ;. better equipped or more convenient store of its size in this broad domain.
 The enlargement consists in the addition of large and elegant room on the second floor to which access may be had either by easy stairs or safety elevator. The Cloak and Upholstery departments find home here, and ladies will find it both pleaSent and profitable to lo their trading in these elegant and convenient quarters.
 The special bargains to be offered on these days represent every department and are new. s.,gsonable GooiS just what YOU want to buy at this time. We are con- fident that your most rNtravagant expect ations will be fully gratihed.
 Please remember that the best bargains are liable to % first.

My bedroom (No. 13) was about half ns big as that little bedroom Yuu and 1 occupied at Jesi during our Italian trip, but more plainly furnished. As l couldn't sleep very well. got up and went to mass at quarter to II, staid there nearly two hours and then went to bed at a. m. At few minutes before II the monks (percS, not frereS) came filing in from their cells, each carrying q little lantern. Not one of them uttered a word for some time; thcn one of them made q slight noise as though with his knuCkles on desk, and the Latin chant of about four notes began and continued with slight interruptions for au hour and three-quartvrs. ThCI each rrliGhted his little lantern, put out the light held i'll q little reflector on the breast 10 light up the book before him, G:ld as silently as they came they went of to their cells

These percS never speak to each other nor to any one whatever eX- cept when out on d promenade. which they take once a week. The frercs dc the business of the convent and are less T, l. l, of the 12 acre walled inclcsurc without permission. No woman is ever allowed to so inside of that walled inclosure cx- cept by written permission from the pope, and Queen Victoria was the last one having that permission.
 My trip to this convent, through q beautiful mountainous country. and the last nine kilumcters at the side of a mountain torrent, delighted me greatly. | There was nothing but mule path to this convent until 1851. and their idea of | living "dans une solitude ahsoluc" was well carried ont for nearly SU0 years. It l is a strange idea of God and of tlic way l to get to heaven that you should abandon tine world and all its trials and duties so that you may please him and gain hap | py hereafter. 1 used to call this band box virtue. but now I withdraw con demnation till I know their individual griefs and mental makeup.
 It is at least better than suicide, fol time is almost always curative, and reflection and study bring peace and mental eQuanimlty. will add that all the freres l met were pleasant, intelli- gent men, charging me moderately and treating me well, and when 1 left the convent between sand in th" morning a bright, intelligent brother guarding the outer door with a monster key said "Bon jour, monsieur, ct bon souvenir de Ia Grande Chartreus2," before kt lccE.2d the door behind mc-Cor.

wATERBuRY's SENSATION.
Inside History of the DrIggs Burpee
 Afaair.


 The Waterbury correspondent of the New Haven Register writes of the Driggs- Burpee case: All the parties concerned in the suit have so many relatives here, and their social connections are so wide that the effect of the sensation has been pro digious. Probably the poison of scandal could not be dropped into the social circu- Iation at a spot where its manifestations are So extensive, and where the blight could be carried into so many families.
 Mir and Mrs Driggs and Colonel Burpee, who is named as correspondent, have mothers. there are children in both fami- lies, and there are many brothers and sisters who are married, and who with their connections are touched by the shame If the case is brought to trial 1t will not matter much to all those inLer- ested parties what the outcome is-it will have for them all the same degree of sor- row and humiliation. It Is fully under stood that both Mir Burpee and Mrs Driggs will fight the case to the last ditch on the charge of adultery, and as it Is not to be supposed that they will be wholly without evidence as to the details of life in the homes now broken up, it will be such d washing of dirty linen as the people to be affected by it must desire to avoid. There is little doubt that had the suit been brought on any other ground it would not have been contested, and there Is con- siderable criticism among those who suffer that method was not employed to obtain the ends sought, which should spare them and especially the children in both fami- lies from the knowledge of disgrace. This view is held by many, irrespective of any opinion that they may have as to the inno- cence or guilt of the parties and their ln- tluence, if exerted to secure the divorce on other terms than those which would open the scandal to court publicity, would be in behalf of the helpless and innocent.
 Mrs DrigCS k at present staying at the home of Mir Burpee's brother in Bridge port. When the sheriff served the divorce papers she was informed by him that she must leave her home. When she left the house it was actually d question with heI where she would stay, and although she was taken in and cared for by friends, sht found the position embarrassing to thos, who were connected in one way or another with her family or her husbands. and de cided to leave town for the present. Sc that her presence Tn the family of one ot Mir BurpeeS relatives signifies nothing bu 1 the necessity of her situation and the gen erositv of those who would harbor hel when others wonld not. Nothing in the whole affair is more painful than the tele | phone message to her home before leaving in which she sent love to her mother ant l childrsn. Tell the boys" she is quote, as having said that love them as mucl as ever" When asked if she had any thing to say to her husband, she shut tn ! telephone without word.
