STAMFORD, Feb 24.-Town Treasurer

"Mr Robert Swartwout, treasurer of the

Even the hens have baffied us. But
what can we expect when demo-
cratic president will appoint republican,
who now holds republican office, to the
greatest Office in his power, and ignore the
great democratic statesmen of this coun-
try; and when the Waterbury board of
common council will vote free passes for
the boys and girls to ride to school on the
electric road and tell their dad, who has
to go to work before daybreak, that he
can walk in the mud; and when the ia

Judge Gresham is the true type of the in

Kelly says no voter is Independent who

One great objection To the use OF but

milk. the oily PARTICLES are in tiny
ylobucs in the form Of an emulsion and
they minglc freely with water and jus,
AS freely with the gastric juice, being
no hindrance to its work upon other
food clements. Fats are not digtstel in
the stomach but in the small intestinca.
Fat, in Il free state, when they come in
contact with other food, smear it over
and thus interfere with its digestion.
Saratoga chips. fried bcefste:ll and

CUTTING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ex-
element was occasioned in the neigh
borhood of police headquarters few
minutes before ten o'clock last night by
difficulty which occurred in Felix
CLAUSES saloon, corner of Sharpshln
and Market alleys, between Geo. Cant
and Geo. McCuen, during which the
latter was seriously cut by the former.
While, as is generally the case in such
atfrays, the versions Of plaintiff and de-
PENDANT widely diverge, it seems that
McCuen entered the saloon and drank
a glass of beer; that while there Cant
entered and was asked to join McCuen
in a social glass. Cant drank some
whisky, and later the two men began
extolling the noblest speciman of the
handiwork of the Creator-an honest
man. Cant, at this juncture, suggested
that McCuen, in order to be consistent
with his expressed convictions, should
pay his (Gants) son one dollar which
he owed him. McCuen replied that he
would cancel the debt as soon as he dis.
covered the whereabouts of the credit
or. Cant asserted that the address had
been furnished McCuen, which the lat
ter denied, and from this incident the
dispute grew hot until high words pre-
cipltated row. McCutn says his an
tagouist, after calling him some ugly
names. rushed at him with knife, and
he was compelled to knock him down
in selEdefense. Per contra, Cant as
serts McCuen struck him first and ha
was compelled to act on the defensive.
McCueu presented sorry appearance
after the difficulty. His left cheek. al
most from the ea- to the mouth, was
cut wide open, his coat sleeve was
slashed in several places and his cloth
ing almost soaked in blood. DR.. Gulick,
who attended the wounded man, took
a number OF stitches in his face and soon
made him comfortable. This morning
the two men appeared before Mayor
Strauss, McCuen with his face halfhid-
den in bandages and Cant with his
right eye in mourning, shaking like an
aspen leaf and with o voice so husky
and weak that it was with great diff
Guilty he succeeded in making his state
ment ineligible. The Mayor sent the
accused on to the grand jury ofthe Cor
pofation Court.

FINE MUSICIAN unusually fine pro.
gramme ofmusic, appropriate to Easter,
was rendered by the choir at Christ
Church on Sunday, under the direction
of Miss Katharine H. Stuart, with Miss
Eva Grigg at the organ. The lovely
weather, besides other attractions,
brought out very large congregation
and the singers entered into their work
with vim and earnestness with more
than satisfactory result. The octette
composing the choir was as follows:
Sopranos, Miss Ewing and Mrs. Leight;
altos, Misses Stuart and O'Neal tenors,
Messrs. Greenstreet and Bartles; bassos,
Messrs, Peyton and Rogers. While
the singing Of each member of the choir
was excellent and showed careful study
and training, special mention should
be made of Miss Ewing, of this city, and
Mrs. Leight and Mr.. Greenstreet, of
Washington. The programme pub
lished in the GAZETTE of Thursday was
carried out and it will probably be re-
peated week from next SUNDAY, so
urgent have been the requests for an
early repetition by many who were pre-
sent.

THE Ice FACToR4 The steam well
boring machine which has been at
work for the past few days in the new
ice factory on north Union street, yes
terday morning struck vein OF water,
which at once rose to the surface and
then fell to about eight feet below and
has remained about at that point ever
since. When the drill had reached a
depth of 46 feet it came in contact with
a wooden substance through which il
bored for a foot. The drill then sud-
denly dropped five feet into gravelly
soil and after few feet more tad been
bored good flow of water was struck.
AS the ground in that vicinity was
made about 80 years ago by filling out
into the river, it is probable that the
wood which was struck so far beneath
the surface i-s part of an old sunken
vessel or wharf. The water secured is
cold and of excellent quality and will
be used for cooling the pipes and for
other purposes about the factory, but
the owners of the factory have made
arrangements witt ting alexandria
Water Company to use Cameron run
water for the ice which is to be manu-
featured here. As Cameron water
has wide reputation for its purity Al
exandria will, of course, soon become
mated for its crystal product. Opera
tions al the faetory will be commenced
at an early date when Ice by the ton
will be made into blocks of convenient
size.
To-day when the pump was started
il was found that the pipe became
clogged with sand, so it will be sunk to
a greater depth.
