How to Keen Cut Flowers.

The best way to keep cut flowers is not in tall glasses of water, but in low, shallow, broad dishes. If a vessel about the size and shape of a soup plate is filled with clean, fresh green moss from the woods, made up in slightly mound ed form in the center, flowers and or namental sprays of leaves can be insert ed in q free, natural manner, instead of having that excessively formal appear anco they usually have when closely packed in small cups or vases or when made into bouquets. They also keep fresh for longer period, owing to the much larger surface exposed immedi- ately under them, the moist moss fur nishing a source of vapor which tends to preserve the blossoms. The moss should be we'll sprinkled with water at each renewal of the flowers.

800 BOTTLES REPLEVIED.
The Local Association Takes LeGa'
 Acti.,L, Ar.ninst S.Nnrnl hcalcI.

The Local Association Takes Legal
 Action Against Several Dealers. For several years the different bottling firms of Waterbury have suffered serious losses on account of the large number of bottles that they have not been able to collect from the various places where they have been doing busi- ness The bottles were taken from storekeepers, who thought nothing of sending out half dozen or more bottles of soda water among their customers and took but little notice as to whether the bottles were returned or not, winch they seldom were, generally remaining in the house until sold to some peddler for a few cents. One of the principal items of eX- pense in connection with this business is the price of bottles. They cost about St. 90 gross, and It was a common thing for the bottltrs to find 1t necessary to call at the junk shops around town and pay a good price for their own bottles. To put a stop to this business and place them selves in position to recover their goods the different firms doing business here joined the State Bottlers association and formed themselves into an organization known as the Waterbury Bottlers' Protec- tive association, receiving a license from the state. and making other arangemtnts
 
 ton. The bottles still continued to dis appear, however. and yesterday Attorney James F.. Russell, acting for committee representing the association, issued writs of repleyin for several dealers around town and placed them in the hands of Con- stable Rigney, authorizing him to seize all bottles found in these places belonging to the association. Constable Rigney started out and in the evening had collected and returned to the committee over 500 bottles the largest finds being made in the junk shop and in the Italian saloons. Among the places visited were: John Doe, M. J. Corcoran, Donate Meo, Louis Albert Morris Applebaum, Columbian Saloon Canal street; John Hayes, Baldwin street J C. Smith, North Main st. The cases will be heard February 24 before Justice Brett, and the association proposes to push the matter as far possible. The members of the bottlers' association in this city are: Moore & Mccarthy, John H. Fruin. w. H. Borchardt, Pfuderer & Co, Rainville Brothers, Swan Olsen. Blanchett & Co, Casey X Brlckel, J. J. McAuliff. C. E. Minor.

STREET GAR ACCIDENT.
Two Electric Cars Smashed Into One An

Two Electric Cars Smashed Into One An
 other on a Crossing.
 ST LOUIS, Feb 17.-In a street car col lisiOn here three women were probably fatally injured and a fourth passenger, a man, had his leg severely crushed. The collision occurred at Grand avenue and Morgan street, where a west bound subur- ban electric car carrying l3 passengers was struck squarely in the center by a south bound Lindell electric car, the track cross ing at that point, and was hurled from its trucks a mass of splintered wood.
 The Lindell car, which carried p pas sengers, was very badly damaged and de railed. The overturned car was so badly wrecked that it was with difficulty the passeng gers were taken out
 Fortunately all but two escaped with nothing but scratches. These two were Mrs Mary Noonan, 1895 Clark avenue, crushed and bruised, probably fatal, and Miss Jennie O'Rourke, Sixteenth street and Clark avenue, internal injuries, taken out unconscious and probably dying.
 In the Lindell car Miss Emily Wilkins was cut very severely but not fatally. The man who was injured in the leg was car ried away before his name could be learn ed. The wreck was the most complete that has ever taken place on d surface road i'll this city, and how, with so many passen- gers, there were no more injured and none killed cannot be explained.

CASE OF SMALLPOX.

The Victim Is Peter Conroy of the Acme
 Base Ball Club-Ouarantine at His Home
 on George Street-Many People Have
 Been Exposed-Prompt Action By The
 Health Officer.
 The dreaded disease smallpox, is here, and although only one case has developed, it has started a reign of fear in the north part of the city.
 Last night Dr Mcdonald was called to attend patient at 10 George street. He found Peter Conroy, aged p, suffering from what the patient supposed was grip. Dr McDonald at once saw that he had q serious case on hand, and suspected that smallpox was the complaint. After a thorough examination he was satisfied that it was a fully developed case of smallpox, and at once notified Health Officer Dr. Robbins.
 The latter responded and Sanitary h. spector Moses was summoned. The house was quarantined and immediate precautions were taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Luckily the family were all at home and thus was saved the trouble of looking up the members. In the family are the father, David Conroy, his wife and, besides the patient, two children Mary aged 19, and John 21.
 The patient has been employed at the Farrell foundry and has been ailing for a week He is We'll known in the city and is member of the Acme base ball club, playing in the out field.
 There is much speculation as to how the disease was contracted but only one feasible clue can be given. Mary Con roy, the sister, has been receiving letters from Winsted, where smallpox is preva- lent, and it is thought that the disease was communicated in that way. The neigh bors visited the patient before the doctor was called and the following families were individually vacinated this afternoon: Michael McCar by and wife, who live down stairs; Mrs A. Benning and eight children, number 12 George street; James Delaney and a family of fourteen at 16 George street; John Crane and a family of nine, at George street; John Lynch and family of nine. at George street
 Three watchers have been placed around the house and it is possible that the pa l tient will be allowed to remain at his home and not be taken to the pest house. The health officers are ready for any cmer- gency.
 The employees of the postoilicc are not | alarmed over the theory that the disease came from Winsted by mail. "Perhaps it will scare Mir Brown into withdrawing from the race for postmastership, said one of the clerks.
 A meeting of the board of health will be held nt o'clock to discuss the matter and take precautions to prevent the spread of the disease.

IRISH REFUGEE DEAD.
Frank Hyrnc, Ex-Secrrtary of tho Irish
 Lanh Lens uc, Expires.

Frank Hyrnc, Ex-Stcrrtary of tho Irish
 Land League, Expires.
 PROVIDENCE, Feb. 17--Frank Byrne of this city died here from heart disease. The news of his death will be received with deep regret by his friends. He was well known as the secretary of the Irish Land league both in London and Paris from 1880 to 1882
 His death recalls the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavcndish and Under Sec retary Burke on May 6. 1882, in the Php nix park, Dublin. Byrne was at that time in London, as the league office had been moved over there when Giadstoue's coer ciOn act was enforced.
 Mrs. Byrne was arrested some mOnth> later and accused by the Dublin police oi having brought the knives with which th, murder was committed over from Loudo secreted in the foll- of her dress She wi- detained in Dublin ,s,le and was sub Jected to the most severe inquiSition, aft" which she was released.
 Byrne moved to Paris about the tim, that Hon. Patrick Egan, ex minister Ic Chilli, came to this country. Thr Frrnch government refused Englands request for Byrne's eXtradition, and he came to this country after repeated attempts to kiduap him by English emissares. He went into business for himself in New York, but failed. and since that time he has been en- gagged as a drummer for several commercial firms, finally settling down in this city in the cigar business.

RIOTERS CONVICTED.
More Than Half of the Fifty-eight Mans.
 field Miners Found Guilty.


 PITTSBURG, Feb 1.-The fate of the 5S Mansfield coal region rioters has been de cided. At the opening of court the judge delivered his charge, and the jury retired. The judge was very severe on the defend ants.
 He said: Many persons think that a strike excuses the commission of any crime. Mobs and riots are usually com posed of small proportion of knaves and large proportion of fools. That is the case here The knaves kept in the back ground. Not single American citizen was in this mob, so far as the testimony goes, but no prejudice against foreigners should weig& with you. They should, however, be taught to obey our laws.
 "The defense of alibi is looked on with suspicion by courts It is the rogues de- fense. It is the easiest defense manufac- tured. It is not an honest mans defeuse except under peculiar circumstances"
 Late last night the jury sent in a sealed verdict. The exact wording of the verdict cannot be obtained, but it is reliably known that 35 of the 5S defendants are con victed of riot as charged.

 Police Were In Possrssion.
 LONDON. Feb. F The police late last night took possession of the Autonomic club and placed a detective at the door, who in the course of the night admitted singly and in pairs so foreigners, most of whom were Germans, Bohemians or Dutch men, who had sought admission. ignorant of the fact that police were on the inside. All the prisoners were examined and forced to disclose their identity and to pro- duce their passports
 The police had trouble in arrestng scv- eral of the men. One of the prisoners, a Frenchman of the name of RagOle, on find ing himself trapped, rushed toward the door in an endeavor to escape. He was seized, and fierce struggle followed. When the man was secured, he shouted. Long live anarchy!" and indulged in eXe- crations of the police.
 At midnight after all the prisoners had been examined and the particulars taken, they were allowed to depart. No arrests had been made in the meantime A force of police with search warrants visited Bourdin's lodgings in Titchfield street and other dOmiciles of anarchists, and they seized a quantity of anarchist literature, including violent manifesto, headed 'Death to Carnot." No explosives were - found anywhere except ill Bourdin' s room, where explosives and bottle similar to that which was exploded in Greenwich park were discovered, together with photo- graphs of public men and sketches and drawings
 The Times, in a leading article, ridicules the idea that Bourdin carried explosives in a bottle It says that the fact that a DOT tion of a spherical iron vessel was driven through his body indicates that the eXplo- sive fairly well made bomb, and it was probably furnished with percussion nipples to insure an explosion upon i'm pact. It seems reasonable to suppose that the man stumbled and that his contact with the earth caused the bomb to explode. It is probable that he intended to damage the observatory.
