SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.
Matthew CoIwen Wants s5, 900 For ti
 Loss of n

Matthew ColweIl Wants 5,Ooo For the Loss of An Eye.
 Matthew Colwell of Stone street has brought suit against the city of Waterbury through his counsel. Judge George H. Cowell, for the sum of S, ,OO0 for the loss of one of his eyes caused by an accident while at work for the city at the stone crusher at Cheshire a couple of months ago. Mir Coiwell claims that the jaws of the stone crusher were out of repair at the time he received the injury. New jaws had been purchased previous to the acci- dent. but had not been placed on the crusher. They were put on. he says, im- mediately after the accident. The com plainant has suffered much on account of the loss of his eye. The sight in the re- maining optic has not been good for some time, but the one which he lost was in good condition before the accident oc- cured. It was removed at the hospital and since that time he has not been able to do anything on account of the meagre vision of his remaining eye. The street inspector asserts that it was purely acci- dental and that neither the city nor the man was in any way responsible for it. It ! is one of those things he says that is liable to occur to a man at any moment around the stone crusher, splinters of stone being constantly flying in all directions

 The judges were Enos Bishop of North Haven, c. J. Baxter of Naugatuck and W. J. Skinner of New Haven. The ball which took place in the evening was well attended. The different numbers on the programme were gone through with excellent satis- faction. The exhibition drill of the Father Matthew drum corps was per formed in an admirable manner and elicited much applause. President F. $. Bunnell. and a corps of able assistants. acted as floor managers and did their work to the entire satisfaction of all. Dilla2e's orches- tra furnished excellent music and Prof lessor Pole called the figures in his usual agreeable manner. Altogethr the ninth annual convention of the Connecticut Fife and Drum Corps association was success. The Waterbury boys guaranteed their visitors all the hospitality that the city could give. They kept their word. but having no control of the clements could not make any provision against tbe unfavor- able weather. The committee deserve much credit for the excellent arrangements
