 "Friend Fritz"
 At the opera house this evening the fla nous Manola- Mason company will play a return engagement Last season this company gave one of the most delightful performances ever witnessed by an audi ence, and one that pleased so we'll that Manager Jacques arranged for them to re- turn, so that the theatre goer who failed to See them then might have an opportunity this time.

 Doings of a Day in Naugatuck and Union
 HCfty.
 NAUGATUcK. FeB 14.-It was designed by some of our fire commissioners at the last meeting, to bring up the subject of putting in call bells both here and at Union City that could be used to call the department either way-and thus prevent them from making unnecessary runs, and leaving one end of the town exposed in case of a fire while absent. There seems to be a necessity for something of the sort, which could be arranged at a small ex- pense.
 Quite a number of young people had an enjoyable time at the parish house last night.

Allen was compelled to hand over several bags of money which he was bringing to this city for deposit for merchants at B1iceville and vicinity The robbers also took all the re- gistered letters out of the pouches. Allen was then ordered to move on and not to turn round until he reached Pierce City. A posse headed by two deputy sheriffs have started in pursuit of the robbers.

sentence COmmuteu.

President Cleveland has commuted the sentence of Rufus Black, who was serving a term of three years in the Hartford county jail. The sentence began in May. 1892, and was passed in the United States circuit court in Hartford. Black is 62 years old. About two years ago he and a young man robbed the postoffice of Yantic. They walked a distance of four miles to Norwich with their booty. They met a policeman, who, however, suspected noth- ing until the young man began to run. The officer gave chase and easily cap tured Black, who had lot of stamps and other stolen property in his satchel.

Big W haling Season.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Feb. 1.-The an nual review of the whale fishery for 1893, soon to be published, says: The past season in the Arctic ocean was phenomenal one both as to the grounds where the whales were taken and the class of vessels that obtained the catch. Almost the entire catch has been made by steamers, as they were able to penetrate the ice and did so as far as East Mackenzie river, Cape Bathurst and Banks land, where the whales were found in large numbers The total catch by the entire fleet was 294, as against 2l4 ill 1892

WHAT CROKER WANTS.
It Is Said That He Wanted the United
 States Msrshalship of the New York Dis- trict, Now Held by Republican, For

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald today prints the following: An interesting ex- planation of the object of Richard Croker's recent visit to Washington, where he called on President Cleveland, was given by a Democrat who is not in Tammany ranks. This explanation pictures Mr. Croker as suppliant for favor and being not exactly refused, but certainly not encouraged.
 The statement was freely made in polit- ical circles when Mir. Croker returned from Washington that he had sought to gain the Cleveland ear for the purpose of effect ing an alliance with the antisnapper ele- ment which has been absorbed by the New York state Democracy.
 The gossip had it that Mr. Croker was desirous of making such an arrangement for the purpose of saving Tammany from overwhelming defeat next fall and the pro- posed juncture with the New York state Democracy involved a casting loose from the ruined Hill l-Sheehan machine in the state
 Wants to Join Forces.
 TamnAnyites are averse to talking bout this report, and leaders of the New York state Democracy decline to discuss the sub ject for publication. Some of the members of the organization, however, disregarding the possible inaccuracy of these surmises, - l. Croker's visit to President Cleveland and not the object was the desire to join forces with the New York state Democracy.
 MT. Croker, so the story goes, called on the president for the purpose of securing the United States marshalship of this dis trict for Tammany. This important fed eral place is still occupied by Repu blican, although the antisnappers have moved heaven and earth to have this and the other federal places occupied by Republic an holdovers filled by good Cleveland Democrats.
 Made CrOker Smile.
 Mir. Croker, it is alleged, hinted at Tam many's sincerity before the last national election, its accomplishing attitude dur ing the weary months since last March and the support of the national admins tration by Tammany's representatives in congress. President Cleveland, it is said, made no promises.
 He occupied the high moral ground of the statesman, and the impression Mr. Gro ker is said to have carried away with him was that Tammany might not get the place, and that the antisnappers had no mortgage on it either.
 The situation was so unique, according to report, that MT. Croker laughed softly after he emerged from the White House, and he then conceived the idea of a con- bination with the New York state Democ- racy. He is presumed to have come to the conclusion that Cleveland was no more popular with the antisnapper element than he is with Tammany.
