A representative of THE BEE dropped iu the other day at the store of Allen Joyce at the Station. MT Joyce keeps his shelves filled with fresh and attrac- tive goods, and has almost daily consign- ments of goods come over the Shepaug to his store. Constant attention to busi- ness has been the corner stone of his suc- cess, coupled with courteous treatment and square dealing. Although still a young man, MT Joyce has had quite a wide experience in the business line. He began business as clerk for w. F. Kin ney d Co, in New Milford. where he re- mained two years. He next removed te Roxbury Station and entered the employ of MT Leavenworth. MT Joyce began business for himself at the Station in 1887, in building owned by Mr Tyrrell.

 Last Memorial day was one of the most successful Watertown has ever had. A large procession, excellent weather, good music and fine orators. The veterans, the different societies and the school children, met at the Town hall at 9 o'clock.

O'Donnell made short address, follow ed by Rev H. Q. Judd, the orator of the day. There was no vocal music, this year, which gave the band an excellent chance to render some beautiful and ap- propriate selections.

Post MOrtem Law Suit.

DR.. Henry Judy, of New Holland,
has sued the estate of the late j. II.
Patton, of Greenfield, alleging that Pat
ton, as his attorney, appropriated to his
own use about $50, 900, turning over to
Judy fraudulent mortgages, notes, etc.
Judy also says that other parties have
been defrauded to the amount Of at
least $40, 900 in similar manner.
Patton had his life insured for $21, 900.
One company had paid $1,000 into the
Midland bank to his widows credit.
This amount Jady has levied on, and
has stopped, payment on the other SIG,
900 until the matter can be ajjudicated.
Judy also asks $4, 900 out of the prop.
erty occupied by Patton's family, claim.
ing that Patton used his money to pay
off mortgage to that amount.
Judy also wants $4,000 of property in
the name of Mrs. Patton's sister, claim.
ing that it was bought with his money.
Judy is evidently reaching for every
thing in sight.
Charlie Blackburn, of Cincinnati, is
Mrs. Patton's attorney.

Under the Wheels.

A very sad affair was the accident by
which Reed Keys lost his life Tuesday
afternoon. The testimony before Coro-
ner Russ was to the effect that Mr.. Keys
was walking on the @. P. & V. track,
just beyond the sharp curve, near the
Mercer & Jackson phosphate house.
John Sullivan, engineer on the out.
going O. P. v. passenger train at two.
thirty, first saw Keys about sixty feet
forward Of his engine. He immediately
reversed his engine and blew the wan
ing whistle. But Keys, who was not
at all deaf, seems to have supposed the
engine was on the other track, as he
made no effort to escape. He wasstruck
and thrown from the track. His neck
was broken and death was instantaneous.
Station Agent Hopkins was immediate
ly brought to the scene, and took charge
of the remains until the arrival Of the
coroner. The body was then brought
in by the B. & o. s. w. yard engine,
and taken to Evans undertaking estab.
lishment. The burial will take place
today at Fall Greek cemetery.
Mr.. Keys had been in town to vote,
and was on his way to the home OF his
nephew, A. w. Keys, where he expect.
ed to spend the rest of the day.
He was seventy.one years of age in
August, and the last survivor of fam.
lily of nine brothers and one sister.
The old gentleman, although an in.
mate of the Infirmary, was a man ol
good qualities. Misfortune and infirm
tiles had overtaken him, but he was
man of good impulses, regular at
tendant upon divine services when pos
sible, and an honest, faithful friend.
Mr.. Keys was an earnest Republican
and had the permission of Supt. Blount
to come to the city and vote, and after.
wards to visit his nephew.
Although subject to the infirmities Of
age, he could hear better than usual fol
man of his years, and hence it is sup
posed he must have thought the engine
behind him was coming on the other
track.
Poor Reed Keys has Jared hard in this
unfriendly world, but, let us hope the
worst with him is over. Because
among men, he was penniless, is no rea
son that he should be thought the less
of by merciful God. There may be
more than passing fancy in the words
of the poet who wrote:
''The worst of evils we can fear
Is to have our heaven here"

In contamination of this action, the
Mayor on Friday evening appointed
James Rowe Superintendent of the City

If our Lecture Bureau continues to

they will win the sincere gratitude of a

After speaking about two hours, Mon.

lingering for more. And best of all,
those who listen to such lectures as his
must become wiser, purer and happier.
