The Old-Fashioned Girl.

There's an old-fashioned girl In an oiu-
fashioned street,
Dressed i'm old-fashioned clothes from her
head TO her feet. -,
And she spends all her time IN the o'u-
fashioned way
OF caring for poor peoples children al
day.
She never has been 10 cohllion or ball.
And she knows not the styles Oh the
spring or the fall.
Two hundred a year will suffice for her
needs.
And an old-fashioned Bible is all that she
reads.
And she has an old-fashioned heart that
is true
To a fellow who died in an old coat OF
blue
with it's buttons all brass-who is waiting
above -,
For the woman who loved him with old
fashioned love.

STATE PRISON HEARING.
Attempts Being Made to Woo Senate Jones to Make Whitewashing Report

Attempts Being Made to Woo Senator
 Jones to Make a Whitewashing Report.
 Only two members were present at the state prison hearing yesterday, Senators Jones and Root. Representa-. tive Beardsley absented himself because he says that the committee was wasting time over side issues, and he has i'm
 portant public duties to perform. The friends of Chamberlain are now seeking to stir up bad blood in the committee, and to secure split between the repub- lican and democratic members.
 Strenuous attempts are being made to
 woo Senator Jones to make a white
 washing report, with vague hints and
 promises of the next governorship, and Representative Mowry has also been ap- preached. It is a sad fact that the rela-
 tions of the members of the committee are sadly strained, but the real friends of all the members are striving to get
 them together again before the breach becomes irreparable
 General Chamberlain was to have testified yesterday, but he was too ill He did not rise until nearly noon and went to the hearing in a military cloak and skull cap. The strain of the long investigation and the suggestion of hor. rible disclosures is slowly breaking the stern old soldier down. He is game tc
 the last, however, and sits like a stoic under ram of testimony which might frighten the stoutest heart.
 The hearing closed with an exciting passage, wherein Dean Wayland dodged giving his opinion regarding the infam ous treatment of Lunatic Doolittle, while Chamberlain, in desperation, declared il to have been stifiable-twenty-s days in a dungeon on bread and water.

They Walked From Waterbury to Derby
 and Could Go No Further.
 Wednesday night, as Night Watch rounds of the Derby Building and Lum- Der Co.'S property, he saw a young boy crawling out from an empty box car standing on the track near by, and on the youngster seeing Mir Dyer he came up to him and begged him to give him. self and chum he had with him some thing to eat, saying they had nothing all day. Mir Dyer took them to his house and gave them good supper and then sent for Officer Lodge who, ar irving soon after, took the lads into GUS tody and taking them home soon coaxed ' their story from them. Thelr names | were Edward McKenna, who said his home was in Brooklyn, N. Y., and Edward Wickwire, whose parents live | in Waterbury.
 ! The Waterbury boy is the son of Charles Wickwire of 90 Riverside street, who was notified of his sons where abouts. Yesterday Mrs Wickwire went to Derby and brought the lad home
 She sad that young McKenna came tC Waterbury about week ago and hel boy taking a great liking to him

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

George GosseIin Cut by a Buzz Saw and
 Struck by a Flying Board.
 George Gosselin of 20 Wilson street, while at work in w. N. Hurlburt's shop on Mattatuck street this morning, was frightfully injured. He was engaged sawing on buzz saw and had pushed board nearly through and was holding it with the first two fingers of the right hand, when a boy accidentally struck the other end and turned the board against the rapidly revolving saw. Gosselin's first two fingers were taken off near the hand and the board was shot back, striking him Tn the groin. Dr Benedict was summoned and ordered the injured man taken to the hospital. He was placed in Mori- arty's ambulance and, attended by the doctor, taken to the hospital. The wounded hand was dressed, but it is feared that traumatic peritonitis may set in from the other injury.

BRONSON LIBRARY BUILDING.
The Site For the Structure Staked or
 Yesterday Afternoon

The Site For the Structure Staked Off
 Yesterday Afternoon
 The site for the new library building was staked on the Grand street lot yesterday afternoon. The lot has a frontage of 29S feet. About forty feet will be left on the east side, it is as- stunned, for a roadway to the proposed High school building. In the center of the remaining land, and ITO feet back from Grand street, the building will be placed. It is proposed to have neat little park in front, which will be beautified with statuary, fountains, etc.
 The building itself is to be model. It was designed by the firm of Cady, Berg & See of New York, and is mod= eled after the residence of Senator Robbs, at the corner of Thirty-fi fifth street and Park avenue. The material will be washed brick, material which | bears the same comparison to brick work that broken stone does to stone work. The construction will be under the personal supervision of Architect McKim, who will have his residence in New Haven, where he is attending tC the construction of the new Yale dormi tory building, and will visit Waterbury three or four times every week. The | terra cotta work is to have a specia model made for each piece, and sub mitted to the supervising architect. The specifications call for some very fint | work on the inside of the structure, anC a handsome cathedral window is to bt placed on the west side.
 When finished the Bronson library
 building will be one in which the citi zens may take great deal of pride.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Acme base ball cub will go to Meriden tomorrow to cross bats with the Resolutes. The game was to have been played last Saturday, but owing to the rain was postponed.
 Tomorrow the Yale baseball team opens its championship season for 1893 by game at the field in the afternoon
 with Princeton. Considerable anxiety has been experienced on the Yale campus for few days over the expected
 protest which it was feared might come
 from Princeton, against Yale's playing
 of Kedzay or Greenway, her two
 catchers. Without these men Yale's
 ho.es are gone. Her other candidates
 for catchers are mere apologies for the
 position. However, no protest having
 been received up to date, it is only na-
 tural to think that Princeton has decided
 to play Yale as she is An interesting game is expected. The betting so far
 has been light, but Yale is the favorite,
 with odds of about 5 to 3.
 Manager Hanlon now comes out and says that he will not release StOvey. That player laid off on account of ill ness, and the club did so we'll without him that his manager did not care to make any change. Now he is back again in his old place. Silver King, the pitcher, has been released by the New Works and Mark Baldwin signed.
 The New York Tribune is wailing loudly over it's team. It says: "The general opinion among local followers of base ball seems to be that there is something radically wrong with the Giants. People who know anything about base ball recognize that the team has been materially strtngthened over last years nine, and yet the result has
 been most discouraging. When the managers secured Ward, COnnor and Davis to strengthen the weak spots on the team, namely, second, first and | third bases, great things were expected of the rejuvenated team. The New York team to,day, however, is doing I last year. There are ugly rumors about | that certain New York players are not ! living in manner beftting men who
 ought to be in perfect physical condi- ton. That such a club should lose nine
 out of the eleven games played is sim ply ridiculous"
 The players of the New England \ league, who castS their fortunes with Southern league clubs, are returning to
 the north. Ex-Captain Tom O'Brien of ! the Woonsockets of last season came ! back from Nashville yesterday. He has | had all he wants of the sunny south.
 The Nashville people wanted to cut his salary very extensively, and he de | murred and got his release. Ladd of ! last years Woonsockets is now playing ! in Fall River. Killeen, the pitcher, is
 sick and unable to play. Mccarthy and Connaughton are both doing well.
