Some thirty masons from Waterbury came here last evening to witness the work ing of the third or master mason's degree as done by w. M. Woodford. After the communication banquet was served. The lodge here has been doing a large amount of work lately, specials being held about every week.
 We are sorry to notice that the financial difficulties have obliged William H. Kehoe, the tailor, to make an assignment to Thomas Weary. The closing down of the shops, the employees of which formed a large portion of his trade, hurt him severly. The failure is also very unfortunate for large number who have paid in from $5 to $25 each on club suits which they are liable to lose.
 A committee will go from here to-day to Ansonia to present Father Fitzgerald with purse of $500.
 Mir and Mrs Adney Perkins of Straits vile have resumed marital relations again. Jean Smith, her paramour, and herself are each under bonds to answer in the crimi- nal court. Smith is in jail As we anticipated, the Rev MT Glover has been returned by the conference as pastor of the NJ. E. church for the coming year.
 Quite number went to the opera house last night to take in the free entertainment given by Salem lodge, No 36, A. O. U. w. Owing to the lack of a quorum there was no meeting of the board of burgesses last night

 Big Purse Anywhere.


 Big Purse Anywhere.
 NEW YORK, April l1.-Champion James J. Corbett, in an interview at the Hotel Nendome, said that he was quite willing to fight Jackson in private and at short notice at that t-Say mOnth-but he was sure that Geither a business man nor the public coul6 expect him to engage in a contest with man who had all to gain and nothing to lose for a less amount of money than had been hung up for his con- tests with Sullivan and Mitchell
 The suggestion of fighting for $1O,O00 d side in private he did not think fair. -.'1 am willing" said the cl!a. pion, ito fight Jackson, with his 10 m,ll :. side for $3O, 600 n side, and l will put up the money so quickly that he won't know where it came from. l will go even further and bet him 5000 to $40,OO0. The 20 round business won't go. When fight Jackson, it must be to finish. That is what we sign to do, and that is what we will do.''
 ''How about this idea of fighting in Eng land?" was asked.
 Il haven't thought much about that" replied Corbett but I don't know that have any serious objection, but to bring about change of battle-ground new arti- cles must be drawn up. If that becomes necessary-and shall not be the first to offer the amendment-thent the whole busi- ness must be done over again. In that case there will be-there must be-the whole world left open for place in which to decide whether or not I shall remain the champion. Is not that reasonable? There will be no north of Mason and Dix on's line in the articles. It will be 'wher- ever we can arrange to bring off the con test for the largest purse or something like that v

.'The Dark Side of a Great City"

In the varied and extensive realm of melodramatic realism, it would probably be difficult to find a counterpart of The Dark Side of Great City," which is booked at the opera house Thursday and Friday. Few plays of this class have had a longer or more successful career. The scenic features are described as remark able. Among the principal scenes are the great East River bridge by moonlight, the pile driver at work, which alone form a magnificent stage picture and the acme of realism. The play portrays vividly and picturesquely every day phases of metro pojltan life. and affords an opportunity for the exhibition of pathos, comedy, songs and dances.
