Where 1t Struck the Earth There Is Hol
One Hundred Feet Across.


One Hundred Feet Across.
CARSON, New, Feb. 5-On the night of
Feb. l a brilliant meteor shot out of the
heavens in western Nevada and eastern
California, illuminating the sky for a space
of several seconds. The illumination was
followed by low rumbling and shock as
if by earthquake. 1t has now been ascer-
tanned that the meteor struck about so
miles from railway station called Candle
laria, in Esmeralda county, about 40 miles
from here. The report here is that houses
in Candelaria were shaken as if by earth
quake. 1t was soon learned that the COM
motion was caused by the meteor. People
have made wild estimates Of the weight of
the meteor, some in their excitement say
ing it must have weighed 100, 600 tons to
cause such a shaking of the earth
a party was organized and started in
search of the meteor. The searchers at
first found branches which had been broken
from trees by flying fragments, sage brush
torn up by the roots and holes in the
earth which had been gouged out by parts
of the meteor. Finally they came upon n
hole nearly 100 feet across, where the
larger portion had fallen. 1t struck on n
bare knoll composed of sand and rocks
One report is that the ground was hot
about the hole and that close examination
was impossible Pieces were found in the
neighhorhoorl within n circle Il mile in di-
ametcr. The surface of the earth for sew
eral hundred yards is SCARED by pieces of
meteoric stone.

BISHOPS CONSIDERATION
The Pope Cables IA Dispensation to Have
the Exercises Held WashngtOn's
Birthday.

The Pope Cables IA Dispensation to Have
the Exercises Held on Washington's
birthday.
Bishop-elect Tierney on Saturday re-
ceived the sanction of the pope, by cable,
TO have his conservation take place on
Washington's birthday.
Monsignor Satolli, the papal delegate,
will be present, and the consecrator will
be Archbishop John J. Williams of Boston
He will be assisted by Bishop Harkins of
Providence and Bishop Beavln of Spring
field, who preached the sermon at Bishop
McNahon's funeral. Bishop Tierney will
have the selection of the other dignitaries
of the church who will officiate, including
the bishop who will preach the sermon.
He will probably be a bishop of one of the
New England diocAses. The ceremony
will be performed at st Joseph's cathedral,
Hartford, beginning at 10 o'clock a. IN.
and the act of conservation itself will be at
the high altar.
The musical exercises will be of an I'M
usually high order, excelling probably
any musical programme yet given in the
cathedral. Professor Edward J. Dooley.
organist of st Patrick's church, will have
general management and the direct super
vision of the music, which will be under
his immediate direction and control Ar
engagements will probably be made to run
special trains at reduced rates over all
lines of railroads centering in Hartford,
and doubtless thousands of Roman Catho-
lies will be attracted to Hartford by the
great importance of the occasion and the
impressive ceremonies.

TROUBLE PROMISED.
Fight In the New York Senate VIII Be
Renewed Again Tonight.


Renewed Again Tonight.
ALBANY, Feb. 5.-The senate when 1t
meets tonight will consist Of 83 members,
for both Senators McCarty and Wolfert OF
the Sixth district will be on the floor. Sen
ator McCarty will claim the seat by virtue
of the decision of Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan that he is still the legal represent
alive, and Senator Wolfert will take the
ground that President FRO tenn Saxton has
declared him seated. Unless the court dis
solves the injunction served on Friday
there will be two presiding officers acting
and no clerk, the president pro tenn. acting
in that capacity also.
The lieutenant governor contends that
the pending question in the McCarty mat
ter is the resolution of Senator Wolf that
Senator McCarty be entitled to his seat
and says that this resolution was never
voted on in the senate.
Senator Saxton contends that the entire
question has been settled by the seating of
Wolfert and that the matter cannot come
before the senate again.
Until the matter is finally settled no
business can be done by the senate unless
Senator SaXton passes bills in the same
manner as he passed the resolution to seat
Senator Wolfert. The legislation that is
waiting is of the most important charac-
ter, and it may be decided by the Republic
ans to pass it without Democratic votes
The Buffalo charter bills, the Lansingburg
charter bills and the various resolutions to
investigate the affairs of city elections and
the expenses of the various commissions in
the state are among the measures of inter
est 1t is believed that the committees will
be able to do some work even if the dead
lock continues

WORLD OF SPORTS.

President Wagner of the Washingtons Of
fered to release Farrell and Meekin to New
York for $12, 900 and Fuller. Then he was
willing to make it $1,000. The New York
club than made a handsome cash offer,
which was refused. Both parties now say
that the deal is at an end. Twenty-Five
hundred dollars for both players would be
liable.
The Bostons will play with the Acmes
in this city on April 10.

TO SAVE THE FAX.
The Need of a State Institute Urg
Particularly For Women.

The Need of state Institute Urged
Particularly For Women.
They are talking up aud petitioning in
Hartford for the reformatory bill prepared
for the last session of the legislature and
fovorably reported by the judiciary COM
mittee, but not acted upon by the legisla-
ture. The object is for the establishment
of a state refomatory where common drunk
ards and police court 'rounders'' may be
placed. The need is urged particularly of
such an institute for women.
In the several county jails in the state
there are 1853 women, and not one of them
has any chance to be reformed. They are
worse off at the end of their sentence than
at the beginning They did wrong and
the authorities went after them and shut
them up where there is no possible hope
of their becoming better.
Short sentences have been the rule be-
cause of the prevailing sentiment against
depriving persons of their liberty for
great length of time, but this feelingi is now
giving way to opinions in favor of indie
terminate sentences. There sentences
have been misunderstood. Persons sent
to a reformatory under an indeterminate
sentence are sent there the same as per-
sons are committed to insane asylums.

DOWN THE VALLEY NOTES



]Doings of a Day in Naugatuck and Union
City.
r NAUGATUcK, Feb Self there are not
fifty more cases of scarlet fever in town it
will be no fault of young Mulvey, who
without consulting his physicians or giving
any notification to the health committee
while the house was posted for scarlet
fever went into the factory and worked
three OF more days last week, while he
was hardly through peeling We also hear
that he went to the masquerade ball on
Friday night. He has been notified to
stay out of society until after February IA.
If he does not the matter will be placed in
the hands of the county health officer to
prosecute. There bids fair to be trouble
with a family near Rubber avenue, who
have tried to evade quarantine, and who
insist on sending a fifteen year old girl
about the place and into the factories.
The family were told to isolate patient in
one room; instead, she has the whole floor
and is peeling off freely. The fifteen year
old girl stays with her, and at present is
source of danger.
Our physicians were called on Saturday
to set three broken legs, caused by parties
sliding down hill. One was girl at
Beacon Falls another was "Lute" Osborn,
who is now Mt the town house and is very
bad case. The other was Bridget Smith,
who was run down on Goldfish hill. The
boroughIpassed an ordinance some time
since prohibiting coasting, but the notices
were not posted.
H. c. Baldwin is arranging to start for
Florida before February Is. His family
will remain here this season.
The church helpers will meet with Mrs
F. F. Schaffer tomorrow. A pancake tea
will be served; ladies fifteen cents, gentle
men twenty-five cents.
Louis J. Carriers Tornado will be the
attraction at the opera house February 16.

REPUBLICANS RATIFIED.

a Little Surprise Sprung at the Meet
ing of the Fire Board Saturday Night.
Mayor Kilduff called the meeting of the
board of fire commissioners to order Satur-
day night. There were present Commits
sioner Hart, Hynes, McAuliff and briggs.
After the reading and approval of the
minutes of the previous meeting Commits
sioner Hynes, introduced the subject of
providing rubber boots for the use of the
different hose houses. All the members
favored the idea and on motion of Com
m ssioner McAuliff it was voted to procure
six pairs of rubber boots for each COM
pany that needed them.
Commissioner Hynes brought up the
matter of painting and repairing the diff
ferent engine houses and thought that this
would be a good time to commence the
work. After some discussion it was voted
that the members of the board visit the
different hose houses and ascertain what
repairs were needed and report at a future
meeting.
On motion of Mr. Hart the board pro-
ceeded to ballot for chief engineer of the
Waterbury fire department. Messrs Hynes
and briggs acted as tellers. Five ballots
were taken Samuel G. Snagg and John w.
Mcdonald receiving two votes on each bal
lot. After the announcement of the result
of the fifth ballot Commissioner briggs
moved to adjourn: Commissioner Hart
seconded the motion. 1t was put and lost,
Commissioner Hynes and McAulitf voting
mo" and Commissioners Hart and briggs
eyes"
Commissioner McAuliffe then moved
that First Assistant Engineer William E.
Beecher be placed in charge of the Water
bury fire department pending the election
of chief. Commissioner HyneS seconded
the motion and it was put and carried
Commissioners Hynes and McAuliffe vot-
ing for the motion and Commissioner Hart
against it, Commissioner briggs not vot-
ing.
Mr. Hart said he did not see the sense of
such a vote. He did not think there was
a vacancy in the Office of chief of the fire
department and asked the mayor why the
chief of the department should not hold
over until his successor was appointed the
same as all the other city officials.
The mayor. said that all elections by the
court of common council were made for a
certain limit of time and until their sue
cessors were elected and qualified. He
then read section 50 of the city charter and
section four of the ordinance relating to
the fire department showing that the chief
was elected for three years only and said
that according to his Interpretation of the
charter he could no longer recognize Mr.
Snagg as chief of the Waterbury fire de-
partment.
Yes, said Mr. Hart, with frown, "ac-
cordlng to your Interpretation"
City Clerk Grady was instructed to
inform Chief Snagg and Mr. Beecher of the
action of the board. The meeting then
adjourned until Wednesday evening,

Sample Must be Analysed by The Board
OF Health.
The state board of health has ordered an
apalysis of the samples of water of the
public water supplies of the state.
The board is of the opinion that the sick
ness has been caused principally by the
use of impure water taken from the ponds
and reservoirs from which the public get
their water supply.
The examination of the water from the
numerous water supplies is being made by
Professor Herbert E. Smith, the chemist
and bacteriologist of the state board of

RAN FROM H Err PICE.

Millionaire Maokay's Adopted Daughter
Has More Trouble with the Foreign No
bIeman Whom She aIarried-Took Her
Three Children and Sailed For New York.
PARIS, Feb. 5-The Princess Colonnn
daughter of Mrs. John w. Mackay, is now
on her way TO America. This news set at
rest rumor that she and her husband
had become reconcled on his giving a sat
isfactory pledge of good conduct in the
future.
After the French court allowed the
prince the right to see his children twice a
week the princess found her situation in
tolerable. Besides from the elaborate re-
carnations by the French press of its earlier
seventies her friends augured unfavorable
action by the French court. Hence it was
determined that she should remove from
its capricous jurisdiction.
The princess, with her three children, left
the Hotel Brighton on Tuesday evening as
If for moonlight promenade, Mrs. Mac
kay remaining behind to lull suspicion.
The spies of the prince and the domestics
waited up until o'clock in the morning
and then informed the hotel proprietor,
who in turn informed Mrs. Mackay of what
she already knew.
Fooled the Prince.
When the prince called on Wednesday to
see his children, he was simply informed
that they were out with their mother, and
it was not until his wife had time to board
the steamer that he was informed that she
and the children were beyond the jurisdic-
tion of the French courts.
All inquirers were purposely misled in
order to give the princess time to escape.
Her lawyers now propose to continue the
fight in America 1t is reported that the
prince sailed for New York on Saturday.
Mrs. Mackay quilted the Hotel Brighton
on Thursday, but her destination is known
only to her counsel.
Princess Colonna is the daughter of Mrs.
John w. Mackay by her former husband,
Mr.. Bryant. She met Prince Colonna in
Italy II years ago while on tour with her
mother He followed her and proposed
marriage, although informed that Miss
Mackay was only a stepdaughter of the
millionaire and would therefore have no
legal claim to his fortune.
The prince nevertheless persisted, and
he came from family that rivaled the roy
al family itself and insisted that it was a
case of love and not money he was accepted.
Their Unhappy Marriage.
In 1888 they were welded in Paris, and
the event was a brilliant one. After the
settled upon tie princess by Mrs. Maokay
in addition to valuable presents. The cou-
pie settled in Naples, andin six months the
prince began demanding money. 1t was
then learned that he was not only dissolute
and gambler, but cheat as we'll. He
was expelled from the Jockey club in Rome
for hiding cards, and it is said that Mr..
Mackay settled his gambling debts to the
amount of 81 ,OOO, 900.
~Colonna finally became abusive and bru-
tai. His conduct was endured until Octo-
Der last, when the wife left him in Paris
and brought suit for separation. AS soon
as the princess left him Colonna sold all
the household furniture and gambled the
money away.
Three children were the result of the
union-Andrea, aged 8; Blanca, 8, and
Marco, 4, all three having been named by

WANT RULES CHANGED.
Grand Army Men to Petition the Legis-
Iature.

Iature.
The Grand Army posts of the state will
prepare petition at the next encampment
of the department, which is to be held in
Hartford on the 14th of this month, and
which will be presented to the Legislature,
asking that the rules of the state soldiers
home at Noroton be modified so that the
veterans who enlisted in the service in
other states can be admitted to the home.
The rules now in force at the institu-
ton do not permit veterans who are not
members of Connecticut regiments to be
taken into the home.
But during the past year there have been
so many deserving applicants of veterans
who now reside in the state and who want
to 90 to the home that the Grand Army
posts of the state are united in the plan of
having the rules changed so that these ap-
plicants can be taken care of at the state
home for old soldiers.
