Doings of a Day in Naugatuck and Union
City.
NAUGATUcK, Jan 26.-One of the depot
crossing gates was torn off last evening by
team driven at good speed, just as the
man was lowering the gates for the even
ing down train. The team passed the east
gate all right, but the horse caught the
end of the west side, breaking it off from
the base. The team went right along and
we could not find out whose it was. From
what we can learn it was no fault of the
gateman.

RATES OF INTEREST.

They Are Gradually Becoming Lower in
This state, as Securities are Better.
The interest rates in this state have
been reduced an average of nearly one
half on l per cent on mortgages of all
classes, with lot properties having con-
siderable advantage over farm properties.
The general interest movement in the di-
rection of lower rates is an evidence of
better security as well as of an easier
money market.
In 1889, about 50 per cent of the mort
cages of all kinds were at 6 per cent in
terest, and ~ per cent of them We're at 5

figures. There We're some about 1-2 of

By the census Of 1880 the population Of
Waterbury was 33,202, and the enumera-
ton of school children four months later
was $3.50, ratio of population to children
of 1856. Figuring on the same basis, the
population of the city is now 38,9O3, an
increase in three years of SOL.
The state allows to towns $3.50 per year
for each child between four and sixteen,
and seventy-fve cents is added from the
income of the school fund. Waterbury
will, therefore, receive for 1898 from the
state 500, 104 toward the support of the
public schools.

a Bungling Execution in Chicago This
Morning.
CHICAGO, Jan 26.-George H. Painter
was hanged here to-day for the murder of
Alice G.. Martin. 1t was bungling execu-
ton. The rope broke the first time the
drop fell and the condemned man was
picked up limp and unconscious. Another
rope was procured and the murderer
strung up again. Painter was a firm be-
lever in hypnotism and had made many
efforts to have the authorities consent to
his being placed in hypnotic state that
he might prove his innocence of the crime
by showing just what occurred on the
night of the murder He claimed that he
was under the influence of hypnotic force
when the girl was killed.

Gardeners Island lighthouse Unsafe.

New LONDON, Jan 26.-The lighthouse
at Gardeners island is in such an unsafe
condition that Keeper Edwards has>moved
his family ashore and they will not return
to the dwelling house on the island again
until the government has taken steps to
make the lighthouse safe. The matter has
been referred to the lighthouse board
several times and it is probable that the
government will order the structure re-
built on a more solid basis. The light
house has not been in safe condition
since the big storm of last year which did
so much damage to shipping.

K | |, |, :

Has been added to the soliciting committee,
and he intends to solicit. He makes the
following proposition to charitably dis
posed persons.
Any person who wants to send one
barrel or more to the Relief Bureau or the
Salvation Army woodward to be used for
charitable purposes he will send them a
barrel of what is now called st Louis Flour
for So. 25. This is the same grade of -four
that Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Clay, Webster and all presidents and
statesmen of this country and also the
entire population of the world from
Adams time to 1860 lived on. One barrel
will feed family of six persons 30 days.
Many people object to contributing to
charitable enterprises because they think
that MANY who don't really need help take
advantage of charity. Kelly says to such
peonle that if they will take into consider
alton the large number of people in this
citv who have been out of employment for
the past nine months, and the large
amount of suffering relieved during that
time by charitable enterprises, DIRECTORS
would overlook the very few who are sue
cessful in imposing on charity. Christ
himself was deceived in selecting his dis
ciples and can you expect a distributing
committee with $4,000 trust upon them
supply the needs of 1000 applicants, men
who are willing to work three Gays out of
every nine for $4.05. without picking out
the first time the unworthy ones? The
same with the Relief Bureau.
Don't look at the little drawbacks, gentle
men, but look at the working classes
among whom no strikes have been known,
nor their faithfulness to their employees
questioned, honest to the merchants IN
paving their bills and doing their trading
home. KELLY says these people deserve
assistance now that the tide has turned
against them. There is no time that a
man feels as happy as when he gives
charity to a deserving person.

The fashionable impetus which 1t was
expected the patronage Of the Princess
of Wales would give to the occupation
OF trained nursing in England has hard
ly been realized. II will undoubtedly
receive a stimulant in the plan, Of
which word now comes from there, to
have nursing lectures mt fashionable
houses to instruct the aristocratic pupils
in the rndiments at least of caring for
the sick. These afternoons" are to
be illustrated with genuine hospital
implements, including a patient, and,
with tea and biscuits handed round,
will take ON as well an agreeable social
tone.
A story heard recently accentuates
the need Of all this. II was related of
an English peeress. who. wishing to
master the duties of trained nurse,
procured admission to a hospital for
such instruction. She proved an utterly
hopeless pupil. and at length 1t was
deemed advisable TO ask her to resign.

and general '.heaviness" In all that
she did actually made her presence q
