TIME FOR A BIG KICK.

Waterbury PeopIe Compelled to Use
 Water That is RepugnaMt to the
 Taste and smeII-Horses Will Not Drink It-SalOon Keepers Washing
 Glasses in Seltzer!
 Such a stench as the city water has raised today has seldom been equalled: Stores, dwelling houses. manufactures and all places where the water is used have sui fered. The smell is awful and the taste of the beverage is worse. Several workmen on the roads have become sick from drink ing it. Horses even have refused to drink anG in one livery stable only two horses Tn the whole barn could be induced to drink the water. Saloons have used seltzer and Saratoga water to wash the glassess and owners of teams have driven to Rogers x Brothers to water their horses. The stench pervades the whole city and the smell from the sewers is sweet in comparison. Res taurants have turned many customers out to-day because of the water placed in front of them to drink.
 City Engineer Cairns was seen in ref erence to the water and said that the Branch water had been turned on by order of the water board. In the pipes was water which had stood there for two weeks This possibly had become stagnant. Of course this water should have been flushed out, but just at present the water is scarce enough aud the use of it should be limited, and it ought not be used for flushing pipes. It will take twenty-four hours to use up the water in the pipes. The water was let on at quarter past five yesterday afternoon.
 The revived rumor relative to dead horse in the reservior is utterly groundless There is, no need or fear because of the bad smell as the water will right itself in a short time.
 President Welton of the water board was asked what was the cause of the dis agreeable taste and smell. He said that it was due to the fact that the Branch supply had been turned on last night. He thought it would purify itself before night. "There is nothing to be alarmed about he said. ''The pumping for last nights fire added to the fact that it was the first water from the Branch is responsible for all the trouble"

WORK FOR THE POLICE

Another Incendiary Fire in the North
 End - s. A. Chapman's Barn With
 Two Horses and One Cow Burned.
 Three months ago the north end of Che city was the scene of operations of house breakers. This week the programme has been changed, and barn burning seems to be the order. Last,night's fire, which was of incendiary origin, destroyed the large barn of Samuel A Chapman, president, of the Hammond Buckle Go, on Buckingham street. Two horses and COW perished in the flames. ~
 The alarm was rung from box 26, at the corner of Buckingham and Cooke streets, at five minutes before two this morning. The fire department,,resp promptly, but the great structure, which contained several tons of hay received yesterday. was 8 mass of flames when the iremen arrived. Efforts were directed toward saving the adjoining houses, owned flames were confined to the barn, which was completely destroyed.
 Two valuable horses were smothered be- fore the fire was discovered and COW was also burned to death. Another COW suc- ceeded in breaking it's way out of the building. Several wagons and carriages were also destroyed.
 Frederick Rochon, Mir Chapman's hos tier, left the barn at o'clock and at that hour everything about the place was all right. When he reached the fire the door on the north side of the barn was open, something unusual, as this entrance was seldom used. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. Suspicious charac- ters have been seen in the -neighborhood recently by Mrs J. J. Dawson, 1S0 Cooke and hu rniikT1an
 It was one of the fercest fires the de- pertinent had to contend with for some time and were 1t not for prompt action nothing could have saved the two adjoin- ing buildings. It was extremely difficult to get at the burning building and several of the firemen had close calls. Thomas Lynch and John Hogan of No were badly scorched. The former W s taken to his home where he was attended by Dr O'Hsra. He was crowded in between the barn and one of the residences and the tongues of fire which surrounded him almost set fire to his clothes. The flesh peeled off his arm and back and he was otherwise scared and scorched. Hogan's arm was badly burned Sindey Corey of No 2's received slight scorhing but his injuries were nothing in comparison with the cthers. Burning cinders were carried almost to the foot of Prospect street and it is 8 wonder that some of the residences in that section escaped being set on fire.
 The loss is estimated 8: $4 500, and is fully covered by insurance.
 Clark 0. Atwood, a milkman residing on Pearl street, has seen two suspicious look ing men in the vicinity lately. A couple oi nights ago they were delven from his barr and last night, it is said, the same fellows were seen near MT Chapman's barn.

A LEAP FOR LIFE. !.

 John MuIcahy to Escape . Train
 Jumps From the Bank Street Bridge
 and Breaks His Leg.
 John Mulcahy of Jackson street. an em- ploye of Holmes, Booth < Haydens, nar- rowly escaped being ground to death at the covered bridge on the New England road just west of the Bank street bridge, shortly before 1 o'clock to-day. MT Mulcahy was on his way to the factory and for short cut walked along the track under the bridge and had cleared the covered archway when someone shouted to hlm that there was a train approaching He looked forward and saw the express train from Danbury few feet from him. He stepped onto the end of the ties and let the engine pass by, but noticing that the steps of the cars projected far enough to strike him he jumped to the ground, distance of several feet. breaking his right leg above the knee He was picked up and placed in Contractor John Clohessy's wagon and taken to his home. MT MulcahY has a wife and seven children, and is an honest, hard-working man.
 The place is regular man trap and it is a wonder some one was not killed there long ago. Dr Axtelle was called and at- tt nded the unfortunate mans pjur1es.

FOUR DROWNED.
Sky IaT Hing on a Pier Ends Fatally For Two
 Men and Two Women.

b<y iST Hing on Tier Ends Fatally For Two Men and Two Women. NEW YORK, July 1.-Two men and | two women were drowned off Market
 street. Three of the victims arc unknown.
 The fourth was Michael O'Neill, 22 years
 old, steel engravcr of 137 Cherry street, who tried to rescue them. Probably there
 were a score or more persons on the pier nt the timo of tho accident. Only the
 faint gleam from the little house at the entrance to the pier and the stars gave light.
 There were other young heroes about l Rt the time of the etragedy-Michael Lanc,
 IF years old, of 76 Oliver street, and Rich
 nrd Barnett, a cloth cutter, who lives at G2 Monroe street. Both of these boys jumped into the river in vain effort to
 rescue the victims They themselves were
 rescued in an almost exhausted condition
 by Michael Cronin of 127 Cherry street i and John Welsh, IT years old of 214 Water
 street. They put out in one of Cronin's
 boats and picked up the boys out in the
 river off Pier 39, where they had been car
 ried by the tide.
 From these four young men the story of the accident, as nearly as can be known
 at present, is gleaned. According to Welsh,
 three women and two men were skylark- ing right on the end of the pier. One of
 the men was seated between two of the
 women on the long stringer, all three of
 them having their backs to the water. The other man and woman each stood fac
 ing them, and each had hold of the arm
 of the other two women, trying to pull
 them up but the man between them had his arms about their waists and held them back:
 Suddenly the man and two women com
 panions went over backward, all clutching
 at one another. The other man, O'Neill
 was pulled in with them, and all were
 drowned. No one on the pier knew who the people
 were, and the man and woman who had been their companions, and who had been trying to pull them up when the accident occurred, had disappeared during the ex- Citemcnt.

 Pin Prick.

AkeV" Se He EhlIllps D1es as the Result Of 0
 Pin Prick.
 BETHLEHEM, Pa, July 11.-Rcv. $. H. Phillips of Durham, one of the best known Reformed clergymen in Pennsylvania, died of blood poisoning at St. Luke's hospital, aged 3l years When visiting a neighbours house six weeks ago, he remained for dinner. He was seated on the porch chatting with several young ladies, when the call for dinner came. He was slow in responding, and one of the ladies, Miss Cope, took stick pin from her dress, intending to prick him in the leg with it slightly. As she struck at him he raised his leg, and the pin went through the flesh to the bone.
 On July he had his leg amputated in the hope of saving his life. Since then he has grown gradually worse, death result ing from the shock. Rev. MT. Phillips was graduated from Ursinus college and held the chair of mathematics there for two years. He was unmarried.

THE WORLD OF SPORT.

Rusie IS undoubtedly pitching the best ball in the league. If Meekin rounds to and Clarke continues his present good work, the New York cannot attribute de- feat to weakness in the box.
 Probably the most remarkable achieve. ment of the season is Rusie's shutting out the heavy hitting Chicagos twice in sue, cession. Last Saturday the big Hoosier retired Anson's men without & run, while the New Works rolled up eight, and on Tuesday he repeated the performance, although under much more trying condi- tions.

There's no news so welcome as that which tells us there is an over abundance of provisions and our Bread and Butter will be cheap for an thtr ys AT and in keep ing with the above report I will drop the price of Jones' Superlatlve flour to $4 45. if you will give my man an empty barrel. We must all remember that bread is the Staff of Life, and in order to be healthy we must eat more bread and less meat and vegetables If you have tired feeling it is brought about by eating food that has no actual nourishment. Nine-tenths of the vegetables are 90 per cent water. and frozen meat is only a little better and these two articles are used more than any others by the people and still we wonder why our head aches, we have rheumati>m, dyspep- sia, we are nervous and we have tired feeling and cannot sleep. which is the most miserable of all Eat more bread and you will be relieved of all these mis- cries, because it Is nourishing and easily digested and is known as the stan of life.

4 Fatal Ass.d.n. as Antelope.
ANTELOPE, May 26, 1896


To THE EDITOR About three miles
from Antelope, ON the Dickerson place, a.
young man named S. B. White met with
a serious accident that terminated
fatally. 1t seems that he was in a corral.
eaddling young horse. having hitched
the team he was driving to . fence. The
colt backed against the fence and scared
the team, which started to run. White
took after them and caught them by the
bit, but, stumbling, fell beneath the
horses and was trampled upon. Several
parties saw the accident and immedi-
ately went to his rescue. The doctor
was sent for, but shortly after he arrived
white died. The body was brought to
town and an inquest held. Sunday the
remains were laid to rest in the city GEM
etery.
Mr.. White was a young man, aged
about 20, and was industrious, honora-
BILE and upright. AS far as can be
learned he was from Corvallis and has no
relations in this country. ***.
