Liquor Raids in Bristol,

BRISTOL, May 26.-Otficer Butler,
assisted by s. w. Steele, raided the
saloon of John Kennedy in this town
last night. The raiding party drove up
to the saloon in q covered milk wagon
and rushed into the building. They
found evidence Of liquor and pro-
ceeded to place under arrest the
bartender, Maurice McCue. He resisted
but was finally overcome and handcuf-
fed. He was fined $40 a. and sentenced
to ten days in Jail. He was at once re-
arrested for selling liquor in a no license
town. The place of Edward Sheridan
was also visited by the officers and that
of Frank Kennedy. At the place
of John Kennedy the officers dis
covered a very clever scheme by
which water could be drawn from the
beer pipes upon the appearance Of off,
GERS. This is the first time that officers
have been able to find liquor on the
premises, although the place has been
raided a dozen times. Ali Of tho liquor
dealers were held in bonds of $3.50 for q
hearing.

port of board of compensation award
ing damages to Shanahan of $2,275, and
the order was made payable September
"a, 1889. That order is still in the audi
tors hands. The committee who heard
the case few weeks ago reported that
il damages were assessed from May 1,
1889, the plaintiff should receive So, 900
with interest from that date. If dam
ages were assessed from June /, 1892, he
should receive $500 without interest
from that time. Gideon Fl. WEIGH of
Torrington was the committee. Attor.
neys O'NeIH & Burpee are arguing the
case to-day.

SOMETHING ABOUT COLUMBUS.
The Big Spectacle With the Greatest
Show on Earth.

The Big Spectacle With the Greatest
Show on Earth.
Barnum & Bailey's mammoth show
will be here tomorrow. One of the
special features will be the great histori-
cal spectacle, columbus and the Dis
covery of America" The theme is both
we'll timed and appropriate, occurring
on exactly the 400th centenary of the
finding of the new world and when the
nation is ftly concentrating the great
event by a Worlds fair. columbus
and the Discovery of America" as it's
title suggests, is realistic reproduction
of all the circumstances connected with
the life of the famed discoverer, as we'll
as those parts of history in which he
was an important actor. For grandeur
of conception and maguificence of
execution it stands without a parallel
in the annals of amusements. The CO 1t
to produce it was half million dollars,
no less than $45, 900 being spent in the
scenery alone, while the costumes cost
$3.50 900, and the armor, weapons, trap
pings, etc, $50, 900 more beside months
of time devoted to searching in the
archives of Spain for the historical data.
Besides all this there are three circus
companies in three rings, two elevated
stages, the hippodrome, mYstifying illu-
sions, two menageries, two herds of
elephants, two droves of camels, trained
animals, twenty clowns, fifty aerialists,
100 circus performers, 100 circus acts,
curious freaks in the animal creation
and a thousand novel and wonderful
sights AS instructive as they are edify-
ing and amusing. The entire of all this
Will be here just as represented on
Saturday with the new free street
parade in the morning at o'clock.

NJ Getting of the Connecticut Association to

A meeting of the Connecticut Library
association will be held in the parish

whom are engaged in library work, dis
cuss matters relating to their profession.
Some of the subjects are technical, but
many are of interest to the general pub
lie, and especially so to those engaged in
educational work. At the coming
meeting the entire program will not be
without interest to non mombers who
may attend. The history of the
"Moodus Public Library" by the libra
rian, Miss Chaffee; the Circulation of
Current Numbers of Magazines" by
w. K. Stetson, and "The Libraries and
the Schools" this last to be q statement
of what the different libraries are

and teachers, for the teachers are be-
ginning to find the public library indis-
pensible in their work. The indications
are that the meeting will be large one.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A Student at a Boarding School Killed

A Student at a Boarding School Killed
BY the Cars.
A young man by the name of Hill
house, who is attending school at Black
Hall in Professor Bartlett's school, was
killed by a construction train just east
of Black Hall last evening. Young
Hillhouse is a native of Yonkers, N. Y,
and was at the station to meet an east
bound train. After it had passed he
saw the construction train coming and
started down the tracks ahead of it,
racing with it. A short distance east
Of the station is a trestle. When he
reached this he made misstep and fell
through. Before he could extricate
himself the train struck him in the
head and back, completely decapitating
him. His body was also horribly
mangled. Coroner Harris pronounced
that death was accidental and the body
was taken to Professor Bartlett's school
and his parents in Yonkers notified.
Young Hillhouse was II years Of age.
The body of an unknown man forty
years old, was found on Stratford beach
by a boy Wednesday afternoon. The
body was fairly well dressed. There is
no clue to its identity. 1t is thought
that it has been in the water month.
Jesse n. Anterior, 81, had his arm
slashed by machine containing score
of knives in the wood binding factory
at Bridgeport yesterday afternoon. The
arm was literally cut to pieces.
Rosetta Malloy, the seven year old
daughter of John Malloy of Ansonia,
was horribly burned last evening. She
was playing near bonfire and her dress
caught fire. She ran towards the house,
causing the flames to burn more rapidly
and before her parents could put out
the fire she was unconscious. Doctors
Wilmot and-Hanlon were called and
dressed the injuries. To-day the child
is still in a very critical condition.

NAUGATUCK. May 26.-Up to last
night there had been twenty deaths in
the town this month. Fourteen of these
were from cerebro spinal meningitis,
two were burned to death, one found
dead in a pond, one from alcoholism,
one from Bright's disease and one from
pneumonia. This already exceeds our
death rate of last month by three. 1t is
now thought that the spinal meningitis,
which has been epidemic with us for
some time, is on the decrease. 1t is the
opinion of some of our physicians that
the death rate will be a good deal less
when our citizens pay more regard to
the sanitary conditions of their homes,
and the air we breathe is made purer by
strict system of cleanliness.
The warden and burgesses met last
night and advanced their work on bye
laws. Samuel Chevalier was appointed
as special policeman to fill vacancy.
The warden was appointed to act with

ordinance to regulate the removal OF
garbage and offal; also to advertise fo1
bids for the removal of the same during
the summer months. 1t is designed tt
have the garbage gathered up every
other day. One team can do the first anC

to do the third, visiting each side of the
river every other day. This is a big
