Fresh Bridgeport Youths Insult the
 Waterbury ExcursiOnists.
 The Naugatuck valley sent down some of their prettiest girls Saturday and the home ly ones probably came of their own accord. says the Bridgeport News The pretty ones and the homely ones all embarked on the two steamers at the wharf and went to Coney Island. When they came back about two hundred Bridgeporters met them. While the Valley people were get ting off the boats the locals were passing remarks about, A majority of the girls wore the pancake shaped hat of white duck material.
 The local boys kept warning the stran- gers about hole in the dock. The girls stopped and looked, but could see no hole for the very good reason that the hole was not there. There was one girl with straw berry hair and one of those white hats. or apology for ha:s. A Bridgeport boy caught her hair in his hand and was about to re- mark about it's texture when she slapped his face. He struck her on the shoulder. If you were in Waterbury," said her friend. 'you would be arrested. but Bridge port is poorly policed and rowdies do about as they please" No more girls were disturbed

CELLARS FLOODED.

Much Damage Done By the storm
 This NIOrnimg-The Rainfall Two
 Inches. -g F
 The rainfall this morning amounted to about two inches of water and while it lasted was the severest that has been wit messed in Waterbury in a number of years., Exchange place presented the appearance of wind swept sea coast. The water rushed down North Main street in tor rents and Street Inspector Reiley's men were kept busy trying to keep the freshet water had worked its way of the street there was about a foot of mud on the crosswalk running from Dexter's corner to the green.
 Many cellars about town were well flooded and some of the owners of build ings threaten to take law proceedings against some one, they cannot tell whom, for damages to goods.
 Perhaps the most damage was done around the New England depot where the water rose above the tracks and crept along the platform into the waiting room. Across the street John R. Birney's cellar was filled even with the walk not only with water but a mixture of sand and dirt giving the place the appearance of big mortar tub. Luke Stapleton's saloon presented sorry spectacle. The saloon floor is several feet below the sidewalk, but when the shower was over the water was on @ level with the walk.
 It was an amusing picture to stand on the walk and look into the saloon at MT Stapleton as he walked around, up to the hips in water. fishing out jugs of liquor that floated gracefully from one side of the store to the other. his big black dog swim ming after him and snapping at at an oc- occasional stray bottle of spirits that hoated in the dir ection of the door. Four men huddled together on the top of the bar, the water within an inch of their coat tails. They were completely hemmed in and looked as excited as though they were on a raft in mld-ocean. It took sev- eral hours to bail out the water. MT Sta- pleton thinks he is entitled to damages from some source, but does not seem to know where to place the responsibility. Robert McGrath had about four feet of water in his cellar. J. w. Hodson's cellar was under foot of water, and you could sail boat around the Scovill house bar. In front of the door was 8 sign reading "No Fishing Allowed Here"
 There was considerable damage done in in other places, and it occurred so quickly that people did not know what was the matter until the roar of the water waE heard in the cellar and the storm was SC severe that nothing could be done to stay it's ravages.

CITY COUR LCASES.

Unfortunate Maurice MOrlarty Again
 i'm the Tolls Owing to Domestic
 Troubles.
 Maurice Moriarty has seldom been out of trouble since his second marriage. In fact most of his troubels date from that event. He has lost all his property and from a once comfortable landlord he has drifted down to tenant who finds it diff fcult to secure a rent. Yesterday he met his wife on the street and endeavored to take her home. He said that sho had taken $45 from him and went on a "toot." They created such a scene on the street that Off, fcer M. Sullivan arrested both. This morning Maurice was fined $10 and costs and the woman was let go. Maurice took an appeal.
 Jennie Stevens, whom the judge was merciful with last Thursday, will sojourn in jail for 30 days.

The woman denied that she ever drank. Attorney Webster said the woman's face proved her drinking woman, but advised adjourning the case for thirty days. Judge Cowell did so warning the woman to be more careful.
 Joseph LeCuir was charged with injury to property. John T. Lane owns large tene- ment flat at 217 River street. LeCuir was tenant until within few days, when he left owing a months rent and took with him hooks and lock belonging to Lane. The walls were injured where the hooks had been pulled cut LeCuir and his brother-in-law says that they owned the hooks and lock and had not destroyed the walls. Lane said that LeCuir also told him to go to hell. Judge Lowe said he had seen too much Of this abuse to land lords by tenants and when 8 tenant tells 6 landlord like Mir Lane to go to hell he should be punished.- He was fined s and costs.

 Last years work was begun earlier on the town roads than this year. which is the reason so much more appears for 1895 in the three months compared. Another big item during the past year was fol legal expenses incurred by reason of the proposed consolidation. Aside from these departments there has been a saving aud the calamity bawling is uncalled for.

MALARIA VERY PREVALENT

What Dr LindsIey, Secretary of the
 State Board Of Health, Says.
 Not in several years has there been so much complaint about prevalency of malaria as there appears to be at present The disease seems not to be confined to any particular locality, but more generally than usual. Dr 0. S. Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, was seen by a New Haven Leader reporter in reference to the disease and was asked if he could ac- count for what appeared 6 much larger number of cases than usual this summer. He was also asked if theKe were more malaria germs than usual this year in the air or water.
 No. neither in the people" was the an- swer and the physician added that disease germs don't do harm in the air or water. It's when they get into the people that they do the mischief.
 Then Dr Lindsley looked over 8 large number of reports from various town health officers and declared that there had been no death from the disease and stated also that people rarely die from malaria.
 pr Lindsley recognized the fact that there was more malaria this year than last, but don't think there was any more now than in the spring. While he did not know the cause or origin of the malaria baccilli. he supposed that it was produced by decaying vegetation.

Messrs Donahue, Everett.

The other day, when Anson was disabled and wanted to have Thornton play at first base, the quintette of worthies mentioned instituted a small mutipy. In less than a minute Anson quelled the insurrection in a way that made the offenders feel very small and called down the applause of the spec tators.

Respectfully yours,


 A few weeks ago MT Wilson bought A large tract of land in the vicinity of the old brickyard at Hancock's station, and intends to use the place as sheep ranch. Some of the land is thickly wooded and when the new owner made a tour through the brush about a week ago he became en- tangled in thioket, where he was held fast until his shrieks brought an adven- turous huntsman to his rescue. As MT Wilson has a grievance against the city fathers for not allowing the use of the green for his famous Dorset horn sheep it is barely possible that he has decided on a desperate revenge and wants to catch the whole crowd in the woods and leave them to their fate. The members would like the ride. but some of them suspect that there is deep scheme at the bottom of the invita- tion and make no bones of stating they will not accept the invitation. Whatever MT Wilson did to the committee on public lands and buildings is a mystery. All were opposed to putting the sheep on the green until they called at his ranch. When they returned MT Wilson could bave had Exchange place as well as the green if he wanted it, as far as the committee was concerned. Perhaps he thinks if he could get the members of the court of common council up there he would be able to scar e hem into voting for his petition.
