THEODORE IVES briggs.

Sudden Death of One of waterbury's
Most Prominent Citizens.
Theodore Ives briggs, aged "a years,
died suddenly at $40 last evening at his
home, 39S West Main street. Mr. briggs
had not been well since December, 1891,
but extraordinary good care and SUI
perior vitality enaoled him to keep
about, although he had to sever himself
entirely from business cares. He felt
pretty good and bright lately, however,
and only yesterday afternoon walked
across the street. He was sitting on the
veranda last evening, and at dinner
hour left it to go into the house. About
half way down the hall he was seized
with feeling of suffocatien and with
faint cry for help fell to the floor dead.
The deceased was born in Cheshire
and at the age of 10 years came to Wa
terbury as assistant principal of the
academy which occupied the present
City hall site. He was a graduate of
Trinity college, Hartford, and a leading
spirit in all educational matters in Wa
terbury since his coming here. He
served in several positions on the school
boards and represented the Second ward
in both branches of the council. Mr.
briggs became connected with the
American Pin company in 1866 and was
its president for several years. He had
"
Smith company since 1850. He was an
excellent musician and was organist of
st Johns church from 1S48 to 1892, ex-
cept for a period of three years in the
seventies. He was one of the founders
and for eighteen years director of the
Mendelssohn society. At the organiza-
| ton of the Harmonic society in 1889 he
was elected president and held that
Office until his death.
Mr. briggs in 1850 married Margaret
Pritchard, daughter of the late George
Pritchard, and the surviving family are
George A. briggs, secretary and treas
urer of the American Pin company;
Martha R, Henry P, and Helen 1.
briggs. The deceased was a member Of
Nosahogan lodge, 1. o. o. F. The fu-
neral services will be held at st Johns
church on Saturday at 9 o'clock, and in
terment will be in the family lot at
Riverside cemetery.

STREETS, SIDEWALKS, SEWERS.

City Engineer Cairns Report Upon
Matters Referred to Him.
Commissioner Stevens presided at the
meeting Of the road and sewer boards
last night and there were present Com
missioners Coughlan, Kelley, jackson
and Boughton. The hearings, which
were to be held on petitions for sewers
in Hillside avenue and Wood street,
were postponed until the next meeting.
The city, engineer reported to the
sewer board on several matters referred
to him. On the matter of relief from
surface water on Vine street q drain
connected with the sewer is recon-
mended at cost of $50. Crosswalk on
Waterville street on north line of john
son street, is recommended at an ex-
pense of $110; also crosswalk on West
Main street across Judd street, esti-
mated expense $40. Grading and dress
ing up of johnson street between Man.
han and Waterville streets, estimated
expense $400, is recommended. The &C.
quiring of q strip of land eight feet wide
land on Pearl street, for the purpose of
making improvements along Little
Brook. is recommended. Regarding
the disposal of surface water at the
| junction of Washington avenue and
South Wilson street, the engineer
thinks the sewer will answer all pur-
poses. 1t is recommended that the
grade be raised at the south west corner
of North Elm and Cherry streets. A
catch basin has been built at the juno
| ton of Cole and South Elm streets that
will relieve the Spring street corner a
great deal, but Spring street is so fiat
that nothing but block. pavement will
keep it in condition.
The road board was then called to
order and hearing granted on the mat.
| ter of grading johnson street. A ma
| jority of the people oppose the inn
provement If the expense be considered
separate from their taxes.
A hearing was also granted on the
change of grade at the corner of North
Elm and Cherry streets.
The city engineer reported estimates
| of expense for certain matters as fol-
lows: Sewer in Hillside avenue, easterly
| from Pine street, $1,100; extension of
Wood street 514 feet, to the summit of
grade, 81 100; extension of Vine street
sewer, by way of Wood and Round Hill
streets, to Farm street 1,260.;Sfeet, 3d.
600; through the land of the Waterbury
Manufacturing Co, 81 500 besides land
damages; extensit n of Benedict street
outfall sewer to the chamber below the
Washington bridge, $4,000; to remove
all sewage to a point just below cit,
line $4,000. The board voted to have
the work done according to recommend
alton on Vine street, and johnson street
and the crosswalk on West Main street al
Judd street was referred to the common
council, the crosswalk on Waterville
street at johnson street was ordered
done.
The change of grade at the corner oil
Cherry and North Elm streets was re
ferred to the council with recommends
ton that the work be done. ALI othel
matters were postponed until the mex
regular meeting.

There was but a small crowd at the
New Britain driving park yesterday.
The betting was light in the first race, a
few pinning their faith on Applewood,
but with the great majority Colonel
was the favorite, and he won handily
In the 2:25 class the struggle was be-
tween Stamnal5and Reality, but the
hackers of the latter were few and but
little money was lost. The summary

Many Waterbury sports were bitten
The club advertised a $500 purse be-
tween Danny Russell, the so called
feather weight champion of Connect
cut, and Jack Meehan, a would-he
fighter from Frisco. 1t was farce.
Meehan could not fight fast enough to
keep himself warm and Russell, who

the ring. It was big fizzle and neither
man received any punishment The
scrap was stopped by the police in the
third round, and the referee gave the
decision to Russell.

The Wheaton Loaf.

Good wheat bread and butter is the staff
of civilized life. Take away wheat bread
and butter from our families for a few
generations, and who is prepared to say
that civilization would not glide easily to
state of barbarism There is sound
philosophy in this suggestions; because
there is no other kind of human food tina
is so admirably adapted to the develop
ment ofthe human frame. Including a
noble brain, as good wheat bread.
Civilization has seemed to keep pace
with the production of wheat, and refined
society the world over has seemed to exist
coeval with the wheaton loaf.
We find the lowest order of intelligence
standing on fruit Only one step above
this class. another order is found on q
hoe cake. One degree above this we meet
with the class that has risen in the scale Of
being as high as it is possible for mortals
to rise on pan cake. Head and shoulders
above all these classes, we find the highest
order of intelligencies, with large and well
developed brains and noble characters,
standing securely on their wheaton loaf.
No other food can excel the wheaton LOAF,
because it furnishes more and better
material than any other food.

HARTFORD, June 29.-In the senate
to-day the conference committee re-
ported that they could not agree on the
corrupt practices bills and the measure
went over to the next general assembly.
The nomination of Colonel @. M.
Joslyn to be judge advocate general
was confirmed.
Senator Pierce was appointed a men,
Der of the committee of conference on
the Bridgeport grade crossing matter.
There was some excitement on the
floor of the house to-day. Colonel
Patrick NcGovern of the Hibernian
rifles occupied seat on the floor near
Locks, who moved that the rejected
resolution regarding a state appropria-
ton for the Hibernian rifles be recalled.
The motion was lost. Words then
passed between Colonel McGovern,
Mr. Healey and Mr. Bradley OF Meri-
den, a member of the committee on
military affairs, which had reported
adversely on the bill, and it seems the
lie was passed. The first the house
knew Of the argument was when Mr.
Bradley arose and said:
"Mr Speaker, there is a man, not a
member, on the floor of the house, who
has the audacity to call me a liar. ask
that he be removed"
Nothing was done about the matter
and ten minutes later Colonel McGovern
and Mr. Healy left the hall.
Both bodies to-day agreed to have
final adjournment tomorrow.
A gold watch and chain was presented
to Speaker Brooks by Mr. Gum, on be-
half of the house.
The resolution appointing Charles A.
S. Marlor commissioner of the school
fund was indefinitely postponed.

NAUGATUcK. June 29.-The United

notices yesterday that the old factory
would close down on Saturday night
for three weeks, or an indefinite period,
and the new factory for two weeks or
of the employees of the Glove company
to have the factories shut down on
Monday and Tuesday next.
1t has been thought best to leave Mrs
Warren and Mrs Lowrie where they are
for few days more. The former has
one rib broken, besides being hurt in
ternally.
1t is said to be a fact that there are
fully one hundred and fifty dogs in the
borough not registered by the town
clerk.
Some twenty citizens of Union City
attended church social and concert at
Prospect on Tuesday evening, and
would have had very enjoyable time
had it not have been for some ten or
more youths of Union City, who walked
up and showed how mean they could
act. This is the same gang, it is
claimed, who make it point to disturb
religious meetings at the city. The
them the better.
The Russell Mehan set-to here last
night did not draw out large audi
ence. The admission price, So, was
above the most of our sports, capabili-
ties, and when the price settled to one
dollar there was no rush. Russell
knocked Mehan out in three very tame
rounds.

posed to the children being abused in
