Waterbury and Her
 Citizens HOnOred.

If there is anyone in Connecticut who has not heard of the opening of the Water bury Furniture Company, 1t is because he has been deaf to the scream of the Ameri- can eagle. which from its lofty height, her aided the coming of a great event last Monday evening, June II, Tn the year of our Lord, 1894. The significance of the event was demonstrated by the fact that men from all points of the compass were present. Men of all sorts of conditions ln life, fIom workshop to the counting room, from the humblsst citizen to the peers of the realm, as one enthusiastic friend ex- pressed 1t. were there to encourage earnest eldeavor iu useful enterprise. Such an en- dOrsement coming spontaneously from the people fills the Waterbury Furniture Com pany with a new sense of responsibility. We were prepared for something good, but it went far beyond the expectation of the most hopeful citizen. When men who sit at the beLch in the workshop, who do their own thinking quietly and without dicta- ton. and men high up n the inhncial world and the affairs of state, come to- gether and enter heartily into the spirit of the occasion, it has gone beyond the mere matter of personal triumph; it was the recognition of the growth and progress of a great city. So thoroughly representative WAS the CuAIacIcE OL the pcOpic pISSSAtB that his honor Mayor Kilduff took advan- tage of the occasion and spoke with great vigor on the question which is destined to be the leading feature of his administra, tion-the equaliza ion of taxation. The Waterbury Furniture Company has some cause for rejoicing over its own efforts, but that it has been the humble instrument through which such gathering was made possible. places it before the people as apub- lIc benefactor. Mayor Sargent of New Haven and the noted men who accompanied him. together with the distinguished me of our own city. would not be true to themselves or to the great state which they represent If they failed to recognize as well as to ap- preciats the Herculean efforts of the Water bIry Furniture Company, which is only an humble representative of the great indus try which has forced the grand old con- m0nvealth of Connecticut to the front rank of the states Of the Union. We heartily thank Mayor Sargent and our out of town friends as well as our own fellow cit izens. for their great encouragement and magnificent tributes to earnest endeavor. And whatever we may have done in the past. We shall in the future try to maintain their friendship. their confidence and their respect. while We shall always remain the public's obedient servant, the

Burglar Killed by a Farm Hand Whom
 He Had Shot.
 GREENsBURG, Pa., June 13.-Three bur glars forced an entrance to the residence of James Muffley a farmer living in Bell township, near Perrysville The noise made by the burglars aroused the inmates, who hastily jumped out of bed and rushed down stairs. They were no sooner down than they were confronted in the dairy by the thieves, who commenced shooting, one of tho shots taking effect in the hand and arm of hired boy named John Mansfield. Mansfield hastily rushed into an adjoin ing room and got the shotgun, and upon entering the apartment where tho throe ruf1ians were he opened fire the load strik- ing one of them. The others have not been apprehended.
 The neighbors were aroused, and 1t was soon discovered that the burglar was fa- tally wounded, the load of shot having struck him in the right side, making a terrible wound. He was shortly after iden- tifled as the notorious Jim Ward of Apol- To, who on thenight of Noy- 13, 1881, mur dered tho two Means sisters near Sardis, and who was subsequently, arrested, tried and conficted and sentenced to the pen itentiary for 12 years.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

A resident of this section says that on the foot path at the south side of the Washington avenue bridge there is an open space large enough to allow per sons foot to run through the walk. Some one filled it with a big stone few days ago, but this has been removed since and the place is now open for anyone who happens to step into it. It is very dan gerous place, especially at night. The selectmen have been notified of the matter and pedestrians are hopeful that something will be done with it at once. It would not take five minutes to put the place in good shape, and the wonder is that some of the neighbors have not done something with it before now.

Another Riot.

WELLSBORO, Pa, Juno 13.-Sheriff Irv- ing of this county returned from Arnot where he was summoned to aid in quell- ing riot of formidable dimensions aris- ing out of the coal miners strike. The sheriff brings the first details of the affair, which resulted in the fatal injury of one and the serious injury of number of oth- CT members of gang of Italian laborers who were attacked with stones, clubs and other weapons in the hands of an infuriat- ed mob of several hundred men, women and children.
 Tho trouble arose out of the attempt upon the part of the officials of the Erie railroad to remo"e about 200 tons of screenings which have accumulated at Arnot. Superintendent Smith of Elmira brought 52 track hands from Elmira and began to load the stuff on the cars. A great crowd gathered, and finally some one hurled stone at the laborers. This was the signal for a volley of missiles, which the Italians returned with interest, but the attackil:s IArty resorted to revclv- CTS, and the laborers fled to the works, through which they made their way to BlosSburg, where they were picked up by a coal train and taken back to Elmira.
 One of the laborers was hit in the tenn pie by a stone, which crushed his skull, and he is now in the hospital at Blosshurg, where it is said, he will probably die. Five others are with him, all suffering from bruises and cuts of serious nature. Others were badly hurt, but were able to get to Elmira. Some of the attacking party were also hurt, but not seriously.
 Punxsutawney Miners Disappointed.
 PUNxsUTAwNEY, Pa., June 13.-The news that the meeting between the Der wynd- White people and committee of their employees, which met in Altoona, came to close without a settlement Is disappointment to 4, 900 miners here and does in no degree allay the fears of se- rious outbreak at any time. Thirty three extra deputies with winchesters arrived here, making in all 173 now on guard at the Berwynd White company mines No. 1 and No. 6, a milo and half below town. There has been no demonstration of any kind.
 The miners were congregated around the streets anxiously awaiting the result of the meeting at Altoona, and the most conservative of the miners fear that the fruitless results of tho conference may make the foreigners restless and hard to hold in check. The governors proclama- tion which was posted here is not received with favor by the miners. They consider that it was little previous and altogether uncalled for. There has been but one meeting and one parade since the guards were put on duty, and that parade was headed by the sheriff of the county.
