James 3. Lloyd

Editor Messenger: In yesterdays is
sue Of the Messenger | noticed that
you were rejoicing over the election
Of Col. Oates of Alabama. To me it
is amazing that you should find so
much comfort in the result, when
Oates is ''goldbug" Cleveland
"cuckoo" who voted for the repeal
of the Sherman law. The absolute
repeal of that law was generally con-
ceded to have been against the best
interests of the south, and Mr.. Oates
own State.
The fight in this State against
Senator Ransom is made principally
on account of his vote to strike down
silver. by the absolute and uncon-
d tiOnal repeal of the purchase clause
without substituted of the Shel man
law. Is the Messenger consistent
in this matter9 Is there any real
cause for rejoicing over the election
of Cleveland cuckoo? Why do
you favor free coinage Democrat
in North Carolina, and ''goldbug'
Democrat in Ala bama?
Yours truly,
James B. Lloyd.

 NAUGATUCK. Nov. 21.-This will be lhr closing night of St Francis church fair. which in view of the fact that one or our large factories had been closed down for some time before it's opening. has proved very successful one It has also been conducted in good form, the stage attractions on any evening being worth fhc price of admission if parties did not desire tO enjoy the dance Another new feature was that all articles offered were "f good quality instead of a lot of shop worn goods too frequently offered at fairs. The articles on admission tickets were dawn last night. The post office author i,ies have notified us that it is against the law to publish the list of winners.
 A few of our citizens have obtained tickets for the foot ball game this week.
 A concrete cross walk was put down on Maple street opposite Phwnix shop door yesterday
 The lock-up was filed last night with parties filled with tn, joyful. One woman made. the air blue with her profanity. Business will be good in court to-day.
 Dr McAvny and bride attended the fair la>, evening.
 The Weary walk on Maple street still continues iu a dangerous condition. Any person is liable to tuIn an ankle or break d leg at any time on it.
 John W. Gaffney. admiLis rator, will sell at the public sign post at 3 o'clock to- morrow afternoon building lot belonging to the estate of Mary D eyre.
 INTERESTING ENTERTAINMENT.
 The town hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity last night with one of the largest audiences ever before within it's walls to witness the pretty operetta by the children of >t. Francis Sunday School, under the direction oi Miss ,nes Breen. The chil- dren taking the leading parts, were Misses Laura McCarIhy, Annie Lynch Ella Ken n.dy. KiItie Cross. LOltie Brennan. Grace McCarton. May Baxter, Bessie McCarton, Margaret Hoffman, Eliza CondOn, Hattie Adamsnn A piano duet entitled ''Sans SOuci." by George and Laura Mccarthy, was well executed. The Courtship" by little Emmat and Catherine Hall deserves special mention. X solo-''Springlime" by little Christine Mccarthy was we'll ren- drred for ia child of her years. Fathe Lcnehan loves his children and is proud of them. The articles on the season tickets were all drawn. The gentlemen assisting Father Lenehan in ..the drawing of the drawing of the articles were: Representa- live Mccarthy, l X. Morse. F. Lodge, J. M. Sweeney, Henry Mccarthy, F. ODon- nell, Thomas \.

man was walking over the ground and stepped on piece of board. under which there was some illuminate. which exploded. taking of his toes. There are a dozen or more men and women around town who had narrow escapes during the different explosions which have occurred at this place. woman living in the West end, who worked in the Manhan shop at the time of the explosion in 1861, said to-day that the awful scenes of that morning are as fresh in her mind to-day as though the accident had occurred but yesterday. She can hear the shrieks of her shopmates. she said, and the unearthly screams of people scared with the flames as they rushed in all directions. Some people threw them selves into tubs of water.
 THE RESPONSIBILITY.
 A good deal of guess work was ind ulged in to-day is to where the expense of re- pairing all the broken glass would come from. All the large plates of glass around town are insured, but it seems that the companies in which they are insured have clause in the agreement to the effect that the insurance does not cover damage caused by explosions. Mir Elton was aronnd town to-day and without in quiring whether the broken glass was in- sured or not. gave an order to Tracy
 
 glass windows by the explosion. Every one regrets the unfortunate affair and none more so then Mir Elton and the man. agers of the concern.
 NOTES.
 Many buildings at the West End will need the service of glazier.
 Engert who has charge of the powder house. is 10th to train a new man in kelly's place. His friends want him to retire now ns he is in comfortable circumstances. Had the explosion occurred ten minutes later he would have been a victim also. as he was on hIs way to the building.
 It was said to day that the company IS thinking of abandoning this part of the business and will hereafter buy the powder in large quantities according as it is used in the shells.
 When the window in Els book store cracked the clerk ran out and tried to force settlement from farmer whose horse became frightened by the explosion, believing that the team had broken the glass.
 One man had a cup of tea raised to bis lips when the shock came. and with a sud den dash,the contents were thrown in his face and the cup smashed on his forehead X milkmar who was driving down the street was knocked of his wagon and thrown violently against the ground.
 While the loss of life was not so great to-day as on some of the former occasions the shock produced was by far the severest of all. The windows in the stone building are shattered and the glass in the windows of some of the buildings on Mattatuck street was whipped clear out of the frames.

Governor Jones of Alabama says Inaugura-
 ton Day Win Isc Binotlless.
 MONTGOMERY. Ala. Nov. 27.-In view of the sensational utterances given to the press by Populist Congressman Elect Howard of this state and some corre- spondents as to what kolb and his %. 900 followers would do here next Saturday, Governor Jones was asked to slate his views as to the prospect Of any disorder that day. In response Governor Jones said:
 "There will not be the slightest dis turbance on inauguration day for two very good reasons. First-There is no cause for challenging the result of the election as declared by the official count. Many of the most intelligent Popnlist and Repu blican leaders admit that Colo mel Oates is elected.
 ''Socond-It is known that tho authori- ties are thoroughly prepared to stamp out any disorder We arc not in Mexico. where any petty chief can issue pronun- ciam onto and rally any respectable num- ber uf people to his standard of revolt. Armed bands. even If they could be got together. would not he permitted to como to the capital. The masses of our people are thoroughly disgusted at the idea They are ready to fly at each others. throats and if there was any necessity for 1t hundreds of Populists and Repub- licans would respond to the call of the civil authorities.
 Possibly the defeated candidates may take the oath of office somewhere before a justice of the peace on inauguration day and even go to the extent of issuing a proclamation us governor, but this would be just as harmless and have as little effect as the doings of patients in insane hospitals who imagine themselves crown ed heads Merely pretending to be gov ernor Is n very harmless offense and does not amount to treason under our laws. The report that the authorities contem- plate arresting the defeated candidate for treason if he should take tho oath of office and claim to be governor is without any foundation. Tho state authorities will deal only with overt acts or resist ance of the constitutional authorities. As long as the defeated candidate avoids such violations of the law he will bo left alone in his glory"

"'Superba." |"

Haplon's "Superba" company must have thought last night that it was misnomer to call Waterbury audiences cold" or ''undemonstrative." Last nights audience was awake. at all events, but it is fair to say that powerful inspiration came from the other side of the footlights. The scenery was magnificent. the business exceptionally fine. many new and exceed ingly ingenious and funny acts being Some extraordinary ground and lofty tumbling and contortion acts were presented. All in all. ''Superba" is the grandest of its kind ever presented to a Waterbury audience. and it was thor oughly appreciated.

BOYS, CLUB:

Report For Two Years Of the Executive < Committee. Superintendent and Other
 Officers.
 club, covering two years, was published to-day. The special burden thrown upon the club in consequence of the long depres- sion of business has been almost over whelming. yet the executive committee is pleased to announce that the club met all demands upon it. The club has grown so in numbers that tho present quarters are too small. The rooms are crowded to the doors nearly every night The classes are separated from each other only by cur tains, and class work is interfered with by the noise and confusion incidental to the games. Separate rooms are desired The bath room also is inadequate, and it's com dition hardly sanitary" An appeal IS made by the committee to someone in Waterbury to provide a permanent basis for the work.
 Superintendent Combellack's report is interesting and thorough. He says that nearly one hundred boys bave been pro- vided with permanent homes; permanent employment has been found for l57, and temporary employment for 12I boys. It Is his constant aim tc make the boys self supporting. Last year the emergency fund was increased $500 by the work of the boys. This amount. together with special gifts. bringing it up to about Sl POO. was expended on food and clothing for the boys. and in some instances the families to which they belonged were aided. Ths aggregate attendance last year was 5.91O. The following statistics are interesting:

 Thanksgiving is now at hand. If the lesson of Gods goodness shall serve the end, 1t will teach those who give thanks because they have received much, that they should likewise dispense & portion of that bounty to those to whom it has not been given. That there is enough for all and to spare none can doubt. but the health of man has in a large measure de- prived a great many of their share. This then is the time for the man who deyiseth liberal things. to brighten the eyes of others. to feed the hungry and cloihe the naked 10 enable them to rejoice in the goodness of man as well as the goodness of Gnd. The empty coal-bin can eaeily be filled, and he who confers such gift may find that the warmth he has imparted to weak, emaciated shivering bodies will come back to him intensified thousand fold. The heartfelt God bless you. sir" never falls SO sweetly upon any ears as upon his to whom they are spoken. You do not know what kindness you have done my little ones, sir" not only tells how much your kindness was needed, but expresses far more than words can describe the thankfulness that you have caused to spring forth like fountain of life The many weary months of hard times rend- cred all the more necessary the extension of a very good work. Our public chari- ties are doing their share, yet there is the great est need for the charity that can now be given so worthily and in so many ways. If you can throw wide your doors and let the helpless share your goodness you will be remembering the poor whom We have always with us and you will feel anew the force, the strength, the sweetness or those tender words of Him who said, '.lt Is more blessed to give than to receive"

 Sir: Mrs Anna F..
