 Wang" which has been tEe talk of the city for long time. comes to Jacques opera house tonight. The opera has for the past three seasons been one of the greatest money makers that ever delighted a lucky manager. This fact has this sea son made 1t possible for m unprecedented amount of money to be lavisbed upon its scenery and costumes which aid in depict ing life Tn Siam under the regency ap- pointed during the minority of the present king of that country. The company con- sists of sixty people and carries its own orchestra IL also carries every foo: of tine gorgeous scenery needed for the pro- duction, the cost of thIs scenery being in the neighborhood of Sl5. .OOO.
 "rhs CorsIcan Brothers."
 The story of this celebrated play was suggested to the elder Dumas by what Louis Blanc, whose mother was Corsican. told him of the mysterious spiritual sym pathy existing between him and his broth CT, Auguste. They were SO closely allied in temperament that one had always been able to determine. however widely sepa- rated. what had happened to the other. Louis knew Tn England when Anguste was suddenly taken i'll in France: Auguste knew in Spain when Louis was in danger in Italy. They repeatedly had experiences of this kind. aud Tn every instance their vivid impression. their inmo~t revelation. flashing through space. was confirmed. The Blancs frequently went to See the play performed. At the opera house Thursdly ly evening.
 Gus Williams.
 We will have the privilege of seeing Gus Williams in his roaring farce. April Fool" at Jacques opera house on Friday evening next. MT Williams has for mahy years amused thousands of our theatre goers and he has lost none of his old powers to amuse.

 Mir Griffin added: We have seen one ac- cident and while we are not scared over the matter we should learn a lesson from it and see that some provision be made to guard against a repetition of such cases. While the death caused by the car was due to carelessness still if the car had a fender attached the carelessness could not have resulted in the death of anyone" ." The whole matter was tabled until next meeting.
 Then Mr Griffin moved to proceed to ballot for road commissioner. Mr Hart said he did not know of any vacancy on that board: "Who was elected to succeed F.. B. Kelley? said Councilman Fitzpatrick, ''Mr Irion, said NIT Hart. Where is the record of such action? asked MT Fitzpatrick: That's all right" answered the chair, twelve men know of such action. The chair ruled the motion out of order. Coun- cilman Finley took an appeal from the de- ciSion of the chair but that dignitary did not take much notice of the appeal and soon the stentorian voice of the fourth ward coun- cilman was heard to exclaim MT Chairman. "I most respectfully appeal from that de- cision. Has this board no rights that the chair is obliged to respect :" The chair then put the appeal which was carried, but the chair added. it is all right. my de- cision stands just the same.
 Seeing that nothing could be done in this matter the board proceeded to ballot for sewer commissioner to succeed ]. L. Pirrpont resigned. One ballot was taken with the following result. Whole number of votes cast ten. of which Timothy Shan nahan received eight and James Horigan and George II. Byrnes one each. The chairman declared Mr Sbannahan the choice of the meeting.

THAT UNION STATION.
The Railroad Companies Ordered to sub-
 init the Plans.


 City Attorney Burpee by his firm stand to-day, advanced the city at least one step farther towards a union station here. Com missioners Woodruff. Seymour and Rob- ertson were present. also Vice President Hall and Attorneys Lynds Harrison and s. W. Kellogg for the N. Y., N. H. X H. k. R.. Superintendent Beach of the Nau- gatuck, Attorneys Robbins and Coolidge and Master Engineer Bidwel of the N. '. iS N. E. R. R City Attorney Burpee and Mayor Kilduff for the city.
 City Attorney Burpee opened the meeting by stating that thes petition in reference to parallel tracks he did not care to push. but he asked that the commis- sioners determine on a plan of depot and location as provided in Sections l and ? with such changes as may be necessary. He did not care to withdraw the petition however.
 Attorney Harrison said the application did not show clearly what Waterbury wanted. Withdraw the petition and make a new application was his advice. The first petition was made by Colonel Burpee's predecessor and through courtesy. knowing it to be wrong. the colonel does not wish to be the one to withdraw it. No wit nesses have appeared to show the public | necessity of a station and he asked that tlIe petition rejected.
 Here arose a dispute as to whether evi- dence ever had been introduced as to the public necessity of such a depot. Commissioner Woodruff settled all dis putes by stating that the report of Engi- neer Herchel who was mutually agreed on to bring in plans. covered the necessity of the depot
 Attorney Burpee here said they were talking in the air and that the rallrsad attorneys were not present in good faith but wanted further deh y. He would not withdraw the petition.
 The commissioners there hen a short meeting and decided as follows: That the petition was dismissed and the rail- road companies were ordered to submit plans for a station by Nov 13. Failing to do so the commissioners will themselves prepare plans for the same.

E. I. Turner &CO.

Funny time of year to mark down winter garments isn't 1t! Most people would mark them up, but that's not our way of doing business. But heres just the situation. We found we carried over a good many Winter Garments from last season and while the styles are not quite the same as this years there's not so much dlf- ference after all except in the price. and heres what we have got to say right ill a nut shell.
 2j Garments in ladies and misses, were $7.50 to $l4 each. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, $l.9S
 90 Garments in ladies and misses, price from S7.50 to $l2. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, S2.9S.
 This Is only for a little while. If you can get your size you will make more money than you can any other way. but don't wait until afternoon, come in the morning. They will not go on sale until 9 o'clock.
