KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME

Although Waterbury is better off
than most of her sister cities the stress
of financial tightness which prevails
the country is felt to some
extent here, and there is little pinch of
hard times. The town cannot entirely
escape the general trouble. We feel it
in lack of orders to our manufacturing
industries which send their products to
other sections, and IN the consequent
short time and suspensions in various
factories.
1t is in times like these that public
improvements should be made. When
all the works of a town are booming.
and no citiz en stands idle for want of
employment, public works may be per
mitted to lag, but in days of financial
troubles, when hundreds seek employ
ment, the Improvements to be made
should be prosecuted for all they are
worth, so as to furnish labor for the I'M
employed.
Many public improvements OF con-
siderable magnitude now claim atten-
ton at the hands of the Waterbury au-
thorities: the addition to the water sup
DIV, the erection of the Bronson library
building and possibly a High school
The first will put in circulation a quar-
ter of a million dollars in the hands of
workmen. In the present condition of
things it is the duty of the city authorl-
ties to urge the completion of these
public works and to see that home labor
is employed.
The army bill finally passed by the
new German parliament differs consid-
! erably from the one on which the former
parliament went to pieces. II lessons
considerably the annual number of SOL
diers to be conscripted. 1t also makes
| the term of actual service in the army
for the conscripts either two or three
/ years, according to the discretion Of the
superior officers. If the man is a
satisfactory soldier at the end of two
years, so far as drill and discipline are
concerned, he may be discharged; other
wise he must be kept another year. 1t
may be observed, however, that it is not
the policy of the German military au,
thorities to let off many men under
three years. The greatest concession
made to the growing public sentiment
against increasing the German army
was in the diminished number of drafted
men called for. The only way the bill
was passed at all was through the
shrewdness of Caprivi in making an an
nouncement in reference to the bill be
fore the final ballotings took place il
districts where second elections were re
quired to determine the result. He an
nounced that the army bill to be intro
duced in the new parliament would b,
modified and made different from tn
| former one.

DIABOLlCAL DOINGS.

a Woman Who Made 1t Business of Poi
soning Husbands for Insurance Money.
New YORK. July 14.-Police Inspector
Mclaughlin has learned from Detroit,
Mich, of the arrest there of DR.. Henry
T. w Myer and his wife, who are want
ed here as we'll as in other large cities
in the United States for poisoning peo
pie that they might get insurance
money on their victims lives. So far
there is only one case against the pris-
oners here, but it is strong one, and
for that reason a strong effort will be
made to bring Myer and his wife to this
city for trial.
After a long search the detectives
found that Mrs. Baum was in reality
the wife of DR.. Henry Myer, who was
also known under the alias of Henry
Reuter-, and Hugo Mayler. The woman,
the detectives say, made business Of
getting married. persuading her hus-
band to insure his life, and then accom-
plishing his death by poison. During
the investigation DR.. Myer and his wife
left the city, but they were finally To-
Gated in Detroit, Mich. 1t is said she
has piled her murderous trade in that
city and that no less than five deaths
are laid to her door. The police feel
sure that further search in this city
will show even a greater number Of
her vic Tins

look.
New YORK, July 13.-Notwithstand-
ing the furry in the stock market bank
presidents and others occupying posi-
tions familiarizing them with current
conditions unanimously agree that the
general situation has improved and
continues to do so. There was nothing
in the financial situation of the coun-
try to produce such an unsettling. At
several of the larger banks it was said
that considera BILE amounts of currency
have been received. One large Broad
way bank received $500, 900 in currency
and gold from the country.
As an Indication of the easier condi-
ton prevailing it was reported that
many country banks were renting
currency here and getting back some of
their bills receiva BILE, which they had
discounted here three or fouy weeks
ago, taking advantage, of course, of
the rebate in the discount for the I'M
expired time. At all the large banks
it was said that the demands from out
of town customers for accommodation
were lighter than they had been for
weeks. Many of the large uptown
banks reported that they had
all the currency they wanted, and
the president of one well known insti-
tuition said that he had refused an offer
of 100000 of currency in return for
clearing house certificates. The offer
of some banks to pay the express
charges on currency from the country
has had very stimulating effect on
shipments to this eity.

Two Men KilIed-Eoys Blown Into the
Water. but Nescued.
SALTWATER, Mimi, July 15.-Three
minutes after o'clock yesterday after
noon 4 yellowish cloud came up from
the west and swept through Saltwater
along lake st. Croix, thence across the
lake and spent itself in the Wisconsin
woods to the southeast Two persons
were killed here. These were William
Anez and Samuel SimOnson. They, with
others, were at work in the rafting
sheds of the Atwood mill in lake st.
CrOiX. The storm struck the building
with full force. lifted the shed bodily
and carried it into the lake. Several
buildings were blown away and about
a dozen people were injured by flying
debris. None of the injuries were so
serious as to warrant the belief that
they will be fatal Six or eight boys
We're fishing at slip of the lake side
and all were blown into the water, one
of them far out, but by prompt work
all were saved.
Reports from Wisconsin are meager
but beyond the destruction of fences
and the unroofng of d few houses the
-,amage is believed not to be serious.
So far as heard from nobody was in
jured in the neigh boring state.

SUSPENDED PENSIONERS.


They May Not Be Dropped from the
Rolls in All Cases.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-It is learned
at the pension Office to-day that 2, sc
pensioners have been suspended up to
date under Secretary Hoke Smiths
recent ruling, requiring beneiciaries
of the act of June 81, 1890, to prove
total disa bility where they are drawing
pensions of SIP per month. The sus-
pensions are not confined to any par
ticu1ar locality, but are well distributed
throughout the country.
No pensioner has yet been dropped
under the decision, for the reason that
the sixty days allowed the pensioners
in which to make proof of disability
have not elapsed.
Many of the cases suspended will not
result in the dropping of the pensioner,
but may be confined to reduction of
pension, according to the degree of dis
ability and its cause, as shown by the
proofs submitted.

The Father OF the Daddy Dollar Writes q
Letter On Finance.
ST. LOUIS, July 13.-The Chronicle
publishes a lengthy letter from Con-
gresham Richard 7. Bland, the great
apostle of bimetallism and an uncon-
rolled currency. a synopsis OF the
letter is as follows:
The war between gold monometallists and
oimetailists is not intensely fragrant Men and
parties as well as public journals, must take
.rimmers doubters
The Sherman law must go. but its expiring
.reath must breathe into life legislation on its
ines of true bfmetailiSm The timid and halt.
ng In ranks have brought UP to the expe-
lent of the Sherman law and now insist on
urther waiting 81 Id we adopted the free
.oinage bill all would have been settled in
favor of bimetallism- Had the senate agreed
10 this bill, or the Sub5eQ uent that had
passed in the Forty-afIh congress. we would
have no silver question to-day. But no, we
must wait Wait till France and the Latin
union get impatient with and put further
limits TO their silver coinage.
We are now brought face to face with the
question of total characterization in this the
greatest metallic power the world has ever
ditionally is all that is necessary now to accept
the end for which the gold party have strug-
yled from the beginning.
The repeal of the Sherman law outright and
substitute nothing for it would precipitate
silver panic throughout the world, and prob
ably cause its universal demone tfzation It
seems to me no true friend of silver could ad-
free coinage of silver in this country, we must
war for 1t now-r1ght now

NO SUNDAY OPENING.
The Worlds Fair to Be Closed ON Sunday
The Opening Experiment Failure.

nc oPeAhH, PcTtihcAt u
CHICAGO, July i5.-After July IS,
Sunday opening of the worlds fair will
be a thing of the past. AT yesterdays
meeting of the local directors by a
vote OF "a to 4 a resolution was adopted
ordering the gates closed On the first
day of the week after next Sunday.
The entire receipts next Sunday are to
be donated the families of the fremen
who lost their lives in the cold storage
warehouse fire.
The directors We're reluctant to adj
NIT that Sunday opening had proved a
failure, but the dwindling attendance
and the opposition Of many exhibitors
who were unwilling to meet the extra
expense entailed by seven days fair,
have forced the conclusion upon the
local managers of the exposition that
nothing was to be gained by Sunday
fair
The working people who are unable
to attend of week days have not taken
kindly to a Sunday fair with motionless
machinery and covered exhibits. While
the art palace and the plaisance have
been well patronized on Sunday, the
other features of the exposition have
offered but slight attraction to visitors.

BOMeERGER NOT BURNED.

The Miscreant to Face His Doom in the
Regular Way.
FARGO, n. D., July 24.-Albert Bonn
berger, the Cando murderer, was landed
in Fargo jail at o'clock yesterday
morning. He is haggard and worn
with constant travelling and loss OF
sleep. Sheriff Fadden, of Grand
Forks, brought him here, fearing
lynching. Bomberger acknowl-
edges that the published accounts
of the murder of the Krieder
family are correct, and the only thing
that seems to worry him is the grief Of
his mother, who is on her way from
Pennsylvania to see him, and by whom
he has not been seen for five years He
will probably stay here a few days, and
if Judge Morgan orders a special term
of court to try him he will be taken
back to Cando.
1t is now generally believed that the
people of that vicinity will submit to
the law if he is given a prompt trial
and sentence. The Cando delegation,
which went to Grand Forks and which
was supposed to be bent on 1ynching,
really meant to demand that the pris-
oner be returned to Towner county,
where the crime was committed, and
given a prompt trial.

Not Texas Fever.

TOPEKA, Kan, July IA. T. White,
of the state board of live stock commits
sioners, said that the scare of stockmen
appears to be without cause. The
commission has made thorough in
vestigation there and found that
eleven cattle in a herd of $50 had
died from some unknown cause. They
had mingled with a bunch of cattle
brought from Texas and naturally the
disease was supposed to be Texas fever.
That it was not the dreaded epidemic
is evidenced by the fact that no more
Of the cattle have been affected.
