A S. Dauch of 315 Baldwin street, ac-
companied by a few friends, started on a
fishing trip to Bantam lake this week and
returned with what he considers the big
gest catch ever made by Waterbu ry man.
When the party threw their lines into the
water the hooks were Immediately bitten
off and this was repeated for over an hour
when finally turtle weighing forty-two
pounds and measuring thirty-two inches
across the back was hauled onto the bank
and captured. The monster is now on ex-
hibition in Mr. Dauch's window, to the de-
light and astonishment of the whole
neighborhood.
The trial test of the 1900 feet of pipe
line yesterday was a failure. The pipes
contain about 121 coo gallons of water and
must be able to stand pressure of from
$50 to 200 pounds. The bulkhead started
at pressure of fifty pounds and stream
of water flew out. Later another unsuc-
cessful attempt was made and finally the
contractors discarded their own jackscrews
and borrowed the largest ones in the city,
which are in use at Randolph & Cloves
works. With six of these pressure of
eigLiy-seven pounds was reached, when
the bulkhead again started. The work
was abandoned and another effort will be
made to-day when stronger bulkhead
will have been constructed.
Joseph st Louis, sexton of the Immacu-
late Conception church, has not spent as
many hours on his knees IN long time as
he did yesterday and to-day He made a

the church on his knees, picking up nails
that he'd been thrown in every direction
during the building aud tearing down of
the reviewing stand, which was set out in
the yard for the reception to Monsignor
Ss.tulli. Mr. st Louis says if they were
not picked out now the lawn could not be
mown w6en the grass grows again. But
1t is not likely that he will be bothered
with much grass there this year, for the
place is as bare to-day as a base ball
ground.
Concordia's benefit concert in Concordia
hall last night was a great social and finan-
cial success. The Concordias sang three
numbers the Incidental solo for bari
| tone. by L. J. lyman, was given in an
excellent manner, adding additional proof
to the statement that Mr. Eyman has few
equals among baritone voices in this sec
ton. The prize song now being rehearsed
for the saengerfest in New York was sung
to allow the friends of the society TO hear
it. 1t Is a protest against the horror that
have been seen in prize contests during
the past few years. John Murnane play
the piano accompaniment for the part
songs and gave excellent satisfaction.
Mrs Rogers sang, with Professor Bartlett
as accompanist. Professor Bonn rendered
some choice selections and Faulmann's
band furnished music for the merry
dancers.
