Mrs Hanorah Broderick, aged 65 years,
fell down stairs last night at the home of
her daughter, Mrs James Flynn, 81 River
street. She was unconscious for several
hours, sustaining severe injury to her left
elbow and being badly bruised. DIR Hayes
was summoned and the woman is now out
of danger.
There was quite gatheling of masons
at the new Second Congregational church
this afternoon. The Benedict memorial
tower, which is to be built to height OF
100 feet, and which had reached about
sixty feet, was considered unsafe, as most
of the work had been done during bad
weather. In the opinion of the church
committee it was best to take it down and
commence it anew. Twenty-Five feet had
been taken down when Contractor W. f.
Chatfeld concluded that the mortar was
good enough and the structure sufficiently
safe to proceed with the rest of the work.
In order to verify this opinion a number
of masons and contractors were summoned
and after looking over the tower decided
that it had perfectly safe foundation and
that what is already built is in good shape.
There were present: J. w. Gaffney, Daniel
E. Cronin, James Gaffney, Joseph Martin,
George Chatfeld and A. L. Chatfield.

ANOTHER SCHEME.
New Circulars Being Sent Out by the
Green Goods Men.

New Circulars Being Sent Out by the
Green Goods Men.
new edition of green goods literature
is being sent out, several Waterbury men
having received the CT culars, accompanied
by confidential communications that if
they wished to become wealthy without
risking disgrace to themselves or their
families, the opportunity was now offered
them. The scheme is something new in
the green goods line. The writer says the
plates from which his money is made
represents twenty years of patient labor,
but his business has been seriously inter-
fered with by petty larceny thieves and
green goods men who do not furnish the
goods as they represent them" The
circular further states that the writer does
not send out fake" newspaper clippings
praising the quality of his goods, as green
goods men do, but depends upon the
goods to speak for themselves. If the re-
cipient of the communication is favorably
impressed with the contents of the letter,
he is urged to send a telegram to Allen
town. Pa, requesting the writer to hold
certain building lot for him. This means
that the victim is ready to be plucked.

Waterbury man would prove curse
instead of blessing.
MIR Rice did not see as it made any
difference who built the dam. It was
under the supervision of the engine ers and
inspectors. If they failed in their duty
they should be held responsible. He
knew Contractor Gaffney long enough to
know that he would not lose anything on
a contract.
Attorney Burpee said that the contract
was not sublet if the arrangements were
as Mr. Gaffney said. When asked by Mr
Rice if Thatcher & Co had not sublet
part of their contract to Fenton Il Mo
Intyre, and why Gaffney could not do so,
Engineer Cairns said that they had fatty
gone back on their word with Thatcher s.
Co and it was a reflection on them.
Mr. Gaffney said in answer to Mr. Web
ster: eff the dam costs 500, 900 Fenton &
Mcintyre will be at the loss. Mr. Web
ster, therefore, could net see why the con-
tract was not sublet." Mr. Gaffney further
wanted to know what compensation he
would receive extra if he had to go further
away for the stone.
Attorney Burpee said it made no differ
ence if he had to go to Quincy; the stone
must be good.
When Mr. Gaffney said the stone would
COSl LuOK6 MI lAlSo dShcu Hill Wnhl u0
should do if he contracted 10 build house
for him and trust raised the price of
brick. Mr. Gaffney said he would pur-
chase before the raise. Then said Mr.
Rice you should have got stone before
now. there is plenty OF it in Plymouth.
Mr. Gaffney asked to be allowed then to
sublet the contract.
Attorney Burpee said the request should
be reduced to writing.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that relative to home
laborers. they would be employed if they
went there, but that they would not stay.
Mayor Kilduff said he did not recognize
ten Waterbury men on the whole pipe
line. He clinched the whole debate and
fired the last bomb at Mr. Gaffney by
stating: 81 can't make any better state
ment than this of Engineer Fteley. If the
dam is built according to specifications We
will have substantial piece of work"

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Rose Murphy of "a Railroad Hill street
died yesterday afternoon. The funera
took place at o'clock this afternoon with
interment in Calvary cemetery.
Homer, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs
Augustine Dominique, of IS North Leonard
street. died this morning. The funeral
will be held at 8 o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
The work of relaying the rails of the
Traction Co on Bank street and putting
the street in passable shape has been COM
pleted as far as North Riverside street.
There are quite good many people who
think that the rails are not laid to proper
grade in front of DIR @. Art Wards prop
erty aud are of the opinion that the city
authorities will be apt to make a call there
and demand change before the work il
finished.
The work of Street Inspector Kelley
on Bank street, above the brewery. Is re-
ceiying unstincted praise from all who
have seen the changes which have taken
place there within a few weeks. When
the job Ia completed the street viii be one
of the handsomest in the city. It is
thought that the Traction Co may decide
to continue its track TO the end of the
street.

Last Evening.

Elaborate Exercises at the silver Jnbiiee
Last Evening.
The opening exercises of the silver jubi-
lee of the Congregation de Notre Dame In
Waterbury were listened to with delight by
a large audience last evening. The pro-
gramme rendered was one of the best ever
given by the institution. The soiree was
opened by trio played by forty-four
hands. A stirring song of welcome, COM
posed expressly for the occasion. was the
next number. A pretty French dia-
logne entitled Lies Premiers RaYons des
Nocss dArgents," was next presented, fol-
Indian clubs. Miss NJ. Murphy, "a, de-
lighted her audience with beautifully
rendered Liszt's, "Rhapsodie." Little
Rene Rudolph cutely sang kissing Papa
Through the Telephone" Then followed
the beautiful operetta, composed for the
silver jubilee of this convent. In this the
Past, personated by Miss K. Kennedy.
was attended by Memory, Gratitude
and Love. Memory from her tablet
told in graceful terms the
story of Waterbury's Notre Dame. While
farewells to the past were yet lingering in
the air the Present accompanied by her
attendant, Joy, came upon the scene.
After the Present had told her message,
Faith and Hope appeared and promised a
golden future for Notre Dame. This
operetta interspersed with music, singing
tableaux, etc. is the most beautiful piece
ever seen on the stage of the convent and
is really deserving of praise. The music
at the Notre Dame commencement has al
ways been listened to with delight by the
large audiences. This year it is excep-
tionally grand and those who possess an
ear for good music will certainly be
charmed if they attend. In place of the
graduating exercises was given pretty
selection by the juvenile orchestra. The
programme rendered last night was only a
part of the exceptionally beautiful exer-
cises which may be looked for tonight.

During our clearing out sale in March
we cut the prices in two on Parasols car
ried over from last year. Those We are
showing now are new. fresh goods, We
have had grand good success in the sale of
Parasols so far and we have not an i'm
mense stock to get rid of but what we have
are choice goods in fancies and plain
black and We are letting them out at prices
that cause them to sell freely.
Ladies' Suits in wool serges. Also a
good line of duck and linen suits. We
cannot, in this space, enter into a descrip-
ton of the suits. All we ask is that you
examine them and compare prices before
purchasing.
Every lady in Waterbury knows that we
are headquarters for Laces and Embroi-
deries. We have received this week in
voice of new goods, and have just the par
ticular widths and styles that are most
sought after.

The TT. Judson Store,
Hot Weather Goods.

Ours is distinctly dry goods store.
We have no tinware or crockery. We do
not keep Millinery or Carpets. We can
not boast of fire or ten cent counter but
when We say that in dry goods ours is a
stock that meets the wants and supplies
the demands of the majority we are hitting
the case exactly.
Our Wash Goods department is showing
goods from 20 to SO cents per yard that
are being appreciated by our patrons. We
are not advertising to sell so cent goods
for 10. We could not expect you to be-
lieve US if we did. Neither are we giving
our goods away but we are selling them in
many cases at little or no profit and in
some instances at an actual loss, for this
late in the season we prefer to turn them
into money even if we do not get what
they originally cost. Our stock of Wash
Goods is large. They are moving freely
as they are all desirable goods at ridicu-
lousy low prices.

Wilbur c. Judd, Hoseman, Thrown
From Ladder and Killed.
BRIDGEPoBT, June 2S.-A disastrous fire
was discovered in the handsome store
house of Wheeler & Howes, corner of
Knowlton street and Crescent avenue,
about half past four this morning. Before
it was under control damage to the amount
of $50, 900 bad been done to the stock and
building. 1t is fully insured. Spon-
taneous combustion is supposed to be the
cause. Unfortunately the fire is attended
with loss of life. Wilbur O. Judd, a hose
man belonging to No. engine company,
was knocked from a ladder by hose and
hurled to the ground distance of fifty
five feet. He received injuries from which
he died at the hospital at ten o'clock to-
day.

Time increases the Loss OF Lie In the Mo
oil Disaster.
NEW YORK, June 26.-The loss of life
by the disaster tC the tug James d. Nicol
off Seabright, n. j., Sunday afternoon
has been greatly increased. The nara
tives of the survivors were so conflicting
that no one could say how many persons
were on the tug when she foundered, much
less give any definite idea of the number
of the missing. A sitting of the reoitals
proves that there were at least 92 persons,
including the crew Of five, on board when
the Nicol went down. OF that number
Al were saved and seven bodies have been
recovered, leaving 80 to be accounted for.
AS mono of the missing returned homo or
sent word to their growing kindred, it is
pretty safe to presume that they are all
drowned. Had any of them been picked
up alive along shore the fact would have
been reported long before now.
Captain John Hyde still, sticks to his
story that there were not more than so
persons, the limit of the boats legal car
rying capacity, on l~oard, but he is no
doubt biased by a desire to show that he
was not dcrclict

WAR ON COXEYITES.
Virginia Militia Called Out to Drive Them
 From the State.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. II. - Governor O 'Fcrrall of Virginia notified the Coxey- ites who have been encamped at Roslyrl Va, just opposite this city, that they must leave the state by noon yesterday No attention was paid to this declaration, and the Coxeyitcs announced that they would remain in spite of the governors orders Last night the news spread over the city that the Virginia militia from Alexandria had been called out and were marching to Roslyn for the purpose of arrcsting tho cOmmOnwealers.
 Crowds began to colle,s at the Wash ington end of the aqucduct bridge, at the opposite approach of which the Coxeyites are encamped. until at midnight it was estimated that $. 1000 people were collected there. The purpose of Governor O'Fer rall became known to the Coxeyites and created the greatest consternation. They declared they would resist the attempts of the militia to disturb them and are pre- pared to give them warm reception. As some of these Coxeyitcs were among those who caused the disturbances in tho west when the industrial movements were be- gun. it is anticipated that n conflict may occur.
 A company of Virginia militia, consist ing Of so men. left Richmond on a special train and arrived at Alexandria. where they were re-enforced by 50 members of the Alexandria light infantry. It Is un- derstood that the militia left Alexandria about n. m. to march to the Coxeyite camp at Roslyn. Tho industrials are all on the alert awaiting their arrival
