The amount of water which fell
during yesterdays storm, rain and snow
combined, measured 1926 inches. The
depth of the snow was exactly nine
inches.
John B. Vallee and Joseph Weiss of
this city were drawn on the first jury
panel in the court of common pleas on
the civil side this morning in New
Haven.
About forty Waterbury citizens went
to Hartford to-day to be present at the
hearing before the legislative commit
tee in charge of the proposed amend
ment to the charter of the Waterbury
Horse railroad company.
The entertainment at the convent of
Notre Dame last evening well repaid
those who braved the storm to attend.

pupils. The condition of the weather
was such that many were kept away
but the enUire program will be re-
peated this evening.
A meeting of the voters of the Center
school district called for tomorrow
evening has for its purpose the consid-
Grafton of the purchase of a piece of
land from the Waterbury Savings bank.
The corner of the school house stands
some three or four feet on the
land owned by the bank, which
asks $1,000 for the land occupied
and adjoining. 1t is high
bank and practically valueless for
a play ground, of which there is already
enough on the other side of the build.
ing. The meeting should be well at
tended and see to it that all the facts
are made clear, AS several other methods
| of remedyipp the difficulty have been
debated by the district committee.
The state mayors committee con
ferred with representatives of the
different street railways in Hartford
yesterday. After discussion lasting
several hours, the committee practi
cally agreed upon a bill, which will moi
be made public until presented to the
general assembly. Mayor Webster's
contribution to the discussion was in
effect that he thought the street rail
roads should pay taxes on the property
but that when their receipts exceeded
their operating expenses then, in addi
ton to the tax upon their property
they should also pay a tax upon theil
| franchise at some fixed rate of percent
age on their profits. Attorney George
E. Terry of the Horse Railroad Co spoke
in favor of his bill creating board o.
electrical control, modelled after the
railroad commission, which has already
been fully described in these columns
In closing, he said that not one foot O
the electric railroads would be built il
this state if the "mayors' bill" became
law, the reason being that some peopl
would want the road in one locality ant
others at another; the result would b.
that some "bargain" must be made be
fore the difficulty could be settled.

A NIGHT OF MUSIC AND DANCING.

Canvassers and Others Who Assisted at
the Foresters' Fair Entertained.
The young lady cahvassers who as,
sisted at the recent Foresters' fair had
every reason last evening to be glad
that they had done so well. The union
committee of the fair had invited them
to come to G. A. r. hall, where on four
long tables, awaited them a bountIful
and excellent banquet. One hundred
and sixty covers were laid. When all
were seated Chairman p. G. Egan of the
general committee welcomed the guests
in pleasing and hearty speech. For
two hours wit and humor went down
with the good things of the table, inter-
spersed with three presentations and
speeches. Daniel 0uilfoile was pre-
sented with a handsome gold watch,
having sold the largest number of
combination tickets. Miss Kitty Nc
Cormick, having sold more tickets than
any other young lady, was presented
with beautiful gold watch. Chief
Ranger Daniel ]. Griffin of Court Lin
den received a handsome gold chain.
All the presentation speeches were
made by Chairman Egan in well Sc
lected words. When the banquet was
ended the room was cleared for dancing,
and to the music of Bergen's orchestra
and the prompting of Miller the party
continued to enjoy themselves until the
morning was nigh.
Music hall held an attractive gather
ing last evening, the occasion being an
apron and necktie party rendered by
the young lady clerks of E. T. Turner
& Co.'S store to their gentlemen friends.
The young ladies all wore pretty aprons,
which served to take the edge of for
mality from the evenings proceedings
and give them a pleasing, home like
appearance. The gentlemen, too, dis
carded four -in-hands for ties of ging-
ham and calico, demurring not at the
size or variety of colors. Charles E
Turner viewed with pleasure his pretty
clerks and their happy friends and par
ticipated in their mirth. The grand
march contained over fifty couples and
was led by Alexander Valcour and Miss
Alice DuSault. Miss NJ. Corbett of
Bridgeport was the guest of the young
ladies. The prompting was done by
Thomas T. Farrell and the music was
furnished by Rudolph's orchestra.
A pretty and enjoyable masquerade
sociable was held in Pythian hall last
night by the members and friends of
the Tuxedo club. The grand march
was led by Frederick Horne and Miss
Jennie Mccullough, followed by
seventy-five couples. Leo Herr prompt
ed and the music was furnished by

IIdaI waves OF uumanity.

Tho increase or decrease of population
by natural or artificial causes and the
distribution of mankind over different
parts of the globe are the dominant fac
tors Of the history and condition of the
human race. The rise and fall of ma
tions and Of empires, the progress OF
decline Of civilization and the domina-
ton of man over the mcultivated parts
of the earth are all due to the waves of
population which are driven by various
causes 10 new scenes of existence and
new seats of power.
These tidal movements of humanity
have occurred over and over again at
many periods OF the worlds history, but
with great iiregularity. There have
sheen times when the increase of popula-
ton has been slow and its habits seden-
tary. There have been times when the
whole human race seems to have been
in motion, driven by some mysterious
impulse TO seek new lands to cultivate
and new homes. Edinburgh Review.

THE WARD SEMINARY
of Nashville, Tenn,

So widely known throughout the United States
for more than quarter Of century, still COM
mands the attention of all who are interested
in the higher education Of young ladies. I'M
der the efficient management OF its president,
Id. Blanton, and through the munifceence
Of its noble board of directors, 1t lacks Moth
ing to make it the foremost school of its kind
in the south. Generously patronised always,
this time-honcrcd institution is ever enlarging
its spacious halls and simplifying and broad
ening its curriculum. The courses OF study
offered are various and most complete. Spe-
cial branches are taught by the most compe-
tent teachers, who in their various professions
have gained national regulations. No school
in the south pays such liberal salaries to its
teachers and therefore the very best instruc-
tons are furnished in all its departments. All
those wishing postgraduate and special
courses in art, music or any other branches
of study, will find its advantages unexcelled.

The Prize Picture of the
Worlds Fair.

In the Fine Arts building, IN
the Holland exhibit, room No. q,
exhibit No. "a, will be found the
prize picture of the Worlds Fair.
1t is entitled rAlone in the
World" and was executed by
Jozef Israels. The picture is
perhaps 5x7 feet a plain bronze
frame, and as the name would in.
dictate, is % very sombre dull.color.
ed affair, without the slightest ray
of brightness about it. About
the centre of the picture, in the
background sits o bedstead well
back in the shadows, on which is
the lifeless body of q woman,
from which it seems the splrit.has
just. taken its flight; just in front
sits the husband with a hand on
each knee, and q cOuntenance
which..pictures the most intense
sorrow. To the left is o window
with wooden shutter opened
on the inside, 'and under the win
dow..sits'. rude table on which is
o small water bottle and "a
tumbler. TO the right on the
floor lays the old mans hat. and
nearby. stands a small scrap
basket.
1t is indeed touching scene
and, to my mind, portrays one of
the saddest, most sorrowful
events of a lifetime-the losing of
of a life. companion.

a small posse, and was landed in
Jail Friday morning. Saturday
morning he was brought before
Esquire Martin, when he waived
examination, and was remanded
to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury in November. No. ef-
fort..was made to secure bail.
Shelley..is a young man, about
q, and shows very moderate in
tellect. During an interview
which the writer had with Shelley
he laughed freely, a laugh that
would at once be taken as forced,
behind which there was manifest.
ly genuine sorrow, and expressed
himself as being sorry for having
committed the deed and hoped
young Lay was in heaven.
Shelley and Lay were to have
joined the church the Sunday fol
lowing the killing, outlay was a
corpse and Shelley fugitive
