The Lights Went Out.

after dinner the best musicians, both

to display their talent, when suddenly
out went the light, and performers and
audience were left in total darkness. AS
the light was electric and was supplied
from private engine which had chosen
this inopportune moment to go COM

that they did not believe that the child

David B. Beecher. who has been absent
since Monday evening last, returned home
about $50 yesterday afternoon, that claim
inghe had walked from Bridgeport during
theday. He evidently had been out most of
the time since his disappearance, as he
was as brown berry from wind and
sun. He was first heard of at Beacon
Falls, where he stopped at a house aud ask
ed for dinner which was given him, the
parties driving to this place to jnform his
relatives that he was on the road home.
Henry and Eugene Squires went down and
met him. His story, told to us by friend
is, that after drinking at number of
saloons on Monday he must have took the
train to New York, and did not come to
himself until he was at ferry, where he
saw woman and two children who re-
minded him of home. Then a policeman
asked him if he was not the lost man, and
advised him to return. Being out of money
he footed it back.
The Swedish concert on Saturday nighl
was very fine one, but was i'll measure
spoiled by the use of a rattle trap of a
piano.
The Rev Mr. Soule did some good talking
with his eyes twice during the sermon
yesterday, occ osioned by too much talking
being done by the choir.

WATERBURY STREETS.
Edward ID. Kelley Elected INSPECTOR For
"A Term of Three Years. >A8N Il

Edward IL. Kelley Elected Inspector For
Term of Three Years. <"' Il
Edward B. Kelley was elected street-in-
spector for term of three years at meet
ing of the board of road commissioners
held at $50 Saturday evening, succeeding
Elson Wright. The vote was unanimous.
The selection meets with general approval.
Mr. Kelley is about 40 years of age and
enjoys the respect and confidence of the
community. The fact that he was en-
ployed at Benedict & Burnhams for
twenty-siX years, entering the works as
boy and gradually advancing until he was
made foreman of the foundry department
a dozen years ago, which position he has
since filled faithfully and we'll, is enough
recommendation for any man. In politics
he is a democrat. He has had three
years experience as an alderman, hes
served five years in the lower chamber,
eight years on the police board and two
years as a road commissioner. He is also
member of the water supply committee.
No man, unless it be Mayor Kilduff, has a
better practical knowledge of municipal
affairs. He has made special study of
the condition of Waterbury streets during
his term on the road board and as lnspec-
tor will be able to carry out his ideas.
Inspector Kelley went on duty at seven
o'clock this morning and has had busy
day

The RUBY as "A Fruit,

The people of Burmah believe that the
ruby is kind of fruit which will ripen
if you give it time. They say that most
rubies do not ripen simply because they
are not allowed to do SO. If you want to
''ripen" the ruby in your ring, according
to the Burmese idea, you must take your
ring and lay it in the sun for one month
without disturbing it at all, and at the
end Of that time it will be ''ripe" and
good to eat.-New York Journal,

good opportunity to lease it, changed his

the contrary, the final adoption of
the sugar schedule appears to be

the effect of this sentiment it may
be mentioned that proposition has
