Doings of a Day In NaugatuCk and Union
City.
NAUaATUcK. Mar 31.-Joseph Furnando,
who sued his wife Catherine for divorce,
alleging infidellty on her part, had his case
thrown out of court yesterday on account
of his failure to pay his wife an allowance
of SIS to defend the case, as ordered by
the court. Furnando brought similar
suit some time ago and suffered it to be
thrown out of court for the same reason
that caused him to be non-suited yester-
day. Attorney Sweeney appeared for Mrs
Furnando.
There is considerable complaint made
by parties who rent the opera house of
being disturbed by a set of boys who
stamp thrapgh the Railways and down the
stairs in a drove, to the annoyance of
patrons. The selectmen should see that
audiences are not disturbed.

THERE are few more uncertain things
than a revolver which has been laid away
for n year or two, or, more properly
speaking, there is nothing more certainly
dangerous. For unexplained reasons,
when revolver that has been in use for
any time is put away for time there is
very frequently a neglect to examine the
chambers to see whether all of the cart
ridges have been discharged, and it is to
that neglect so many accidents are due.
M. j. Corcoran, who knows how 1t feels to
have bullet plough through his head, is
around again, and declares that it was a
case of ''didn't know it was loaded"
There Is but one safe way to view re-
volver, and that is to assume in the
handling of it that it is loaded If that
were adopted as general rule there would
be fewer accidents. But better still, don't
handle revolvers at all.
SOMEBODY who signs himself Patrick
McEvoy writes from Waterbury to the
New York Morning Journal as follows;
Seeing in the Morning Journal of so many
pretty girls being in New York, Brooklyn
and New Jersey, please send some of them
to Waterbury, for there is the homeliest lot
of girls here l ever saw in my life. What
amuSes me most is they all think they are
good looking, and quite number of the
fellows think the girls are just fine, be-
cause they never saw girls from any other
city. But if you want to see pretty girls
go to Utica.
THE rule recently adopted requiring a
''viva voce" vote IN local democratic con-
ventions is step in the right direction.
To vote for candidates for Office by secret
ballot put premium on treachery. Men
have been known to hold seats in local
democratic conventions who openly
boosted that they We're there "for what
was in it" meaning, of course, that the
highest bidder had their votes. Under the
new rules every delegate must express his
choice in open meeting. The way things
worked under the old system was illus
trated ii few years ago when we'll known

man in question. 1t looked like a walk
over, but 10 and behold when the ballots
were counted it was found that only one
bore his name. With fire in his eye he
approached the delegates after the conven-
ton had closed. "Why, my dear sir
surely you don't think played you false?

The decisive game was won by Yale over
Amherst by a score of l to 0, and Iale's
winning run was made by kedzie.
He is a hard hitter, an excellent base run
ner and such a stone wall behind the bat
that few balls get past him. He also throws
to bases with such swiftness and precision
that stealing bag is a most precarious I'M

IONS IYr and SandOM.


Louis Cyr, who is pursuing Sandow so
persistently with challenges, is not an ideal
strong man to look at. He has long and
rather oily hair, which falls on his shout
ders and his fat, thick neck, and he looks
like an OvergrOwn, overfed and rather I'M
wieldy man whose life has been passed sit
ting in the sunny corner of a grocery store.
He believes in fat as an element of strength
and has a sublime contempt for men who
are 1.-the and agile. He went to London
some time ago and attempted to get match
on with Sandow, but failed Now he is in
New York with liberal backing and is
making every effort to induce the German
to meet him, but a contest seems rather
improbable at the present time. Shadows
value as theatrical attraction would be
very much dim finished if it should be de-
veloped that there is man stronger than
he is in he world.

AT KELLY'S.

If the United States Senate would at
tend Waterbury common council meeting
they would learn lesson that would prob
ably be a benefit to the business of the
country as far AZ quickness to act is con-
cerned.
On Friday evening at the meeting of the
board of councilmen, in less than three
minutes, they voted to hand the keys Of
the city treasury to the prosecuting attor-
ney and give him power to spend every
dollar of the peoples money to prosecute
Charles Miller for violating a city ordi-
nance and not even ask which FIRE ordi-
nance it was.

SATURDAY. APRIL ID, 1894.
THE CHURCH PLAZA.

church green improved by the
erection of neat fence, and the
leveling of the grounds, cut into
parts with she'll walks, and other
wise identifying the place, is be-
ing seriously agitated.
The Board of Trade have taken
up the matter with the evident de-
termination to push it through.
No object can appeal more strong
ly to their time, pride, and best
efforts, and it is to be hoped that
they will not rest until the pur-
poses of the project are fully rea-
lized.
The cost to crown this worthy
move with success is variously
estimated at from 500 to $1,000,
according to the extent of the i'm
provements to be made; included
in the first named sum would be q
fine ornamental fence.
The MESSENGERS idea would be
simply to level the grounds, make
the shell walks, place at conve-
nient point iron benches, and have
a substantial curbing made. No
thing more.
It is admitted that q fence would
enhance the looks of the place,
but past observation has demon.
strated the fact that with a fence
a continuous expense would be en-
tailed to keep the weeds down,
whereas by leaving it opened the
damage that could be done would
not amount to one-fftieth of what
it would be if enclosed. And these
improvements could be made
within the next 60 days or less.
We assume that suggestions are
not out Of order at this juncture,
and 30 submit this plan to raise
the funds. The sum now in bank
to the credit of a park fund,
amounting to some $500 could
be transferred to what we will call
The Church Plaza Fund.-" the
Council could be asked fors dons.
ton of $50 or 800, and would pro-
badly appropriate that sum; then
q series of entertainments and OK
cursion on a steamboat down the
Teche to view the magnificent
scenery and plantations, might
prove the means of raising q hun.
dred or more dollars. This would
give us q nucleus of $3.50, and
with which we could begin work.
and the balance could be raised
as the work progressed. When
the work has once started it will
act as IN incentive to redoubled
efforts, as we'll as raise the pride
of every well-wisher of the towns
prosperity to such a pitch, that
they will be ready to contribute
literally to the fund.
Let the good work proceed.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. F. Palms, Of
Detroit, now sojourning with rela-
tives in town, celebrated the fourth
anniversary of their marriage last
Thursday. The spacious and ele-
CANT parlors of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
Martin, had been beautifully and
art'stically decorated with lovely
flowers. of many tints, for the oc-
cssion, and presented a most pref
ty view. A fine luncheon was par
taken of by the immediate family,
and it was all told a most pleasant
reunion.
The balmy and health-giving
climate of Louisiana seems to be,
in verify, the fountain of the elixir
of youth, insofar as Mr.. Palms is
concerned, for it certainly has re-
junevated him to q noticeable de-
gree, 50 that he not only looks
many years younger, but appears
to be in the enjoyment of the
most vigorous heslth-even by a
short visit.
With the attractions afforded by
the climate and the beauties of
nature to act in q measure, we
should not at all be surprised that
Mr.. Palms should decide to place
a link in tho shape of an invest
ment in one of the many opportu-
mites offered to the safe and pro-
fitsble employment of capital,
which We feel confident has not
escaped his keen observation
thus furnishing an additional in
centive to make his visits more
frequent, both in q pleasant and
profitable sense.
The MESSENGER hopes that Mr..
and Mrs. Palms will enjoy many
returns of the day. :.

BIDS for the bulldog Of the Santa

awarded. Within less than sixty days
thereafter the bridge will be open TO the
public. No improvement of late years
has so directly affected travel so and
from Tucson across the Santa Cruz val
Icy, as will the bridge ia question. 1t
has long been a necessity and was so re-
cognized by the general public, but our
citizens seemed loath to move IL the
matter till Mr.. Frank Allison put his
shoulder 10 the wheel when ths project
assumed shape and will go through with
flying coiors. Although the SUPERVISORS
contributed but $500 toward the cost OF
the structure, MIR. Allison states that he
b I'd no trouble in raising the balance
among our enterprisiUg citizens. Near
ly every man approached responded lib
orally and still greater amount could
be raised IL necessary. This shows
what can be done by going the right
way about it, The bridge will be a
monument to the public spirit of our
citizens.
