WILL RETIRE.

sold Waterbury'' Voluntarily Tenders
 His Resignation and Manager Ven
 Der Ahe is Sad-
 The announcement made last week that Roger Connor, "Old Waterbury," who for fifteen years has been the ideal first base- man of the land was about to retire from base ball, was true. A letter was received from Connor Saturday. by Waterbury friend, in which he stated that he had ten- dered his resignation to Manager Won Der Ahe and that it had been unwillingly &C., cepted.
 The big fellow wanted to step out inn mediately, but the St Louis officials re- quested him to remain until the big hole made by his retirement can be filled. He consented to play until the club made it's next eastern trip unless a man could be found to fill his place before that time.
 The talk about Connor being released or asked to tender his resignation is all bosh. It is known that Won Der Ahe still holds him in high favor as a first basemen. Con- nor was always regarded as an honorable and concientious player and his voluntary retirement illustrated that fact. A St Louis paper says:
 Shortly before Wednesdays game Roger walked into President Won Der Ahe's office and rendered his resignation '' Why, what is the matter Rcger,' said his employer.
 I have no complaint to make,' replied Roger, and want to thank you heartily for the courtesies you have always extended to me. have felt for some time that my playing was not what it should be, and after long deliberation, have concluded to retire from the diamond. I prefer to re- tire while yet popular and am glad to say that I can retire and live comfortably. But I will not leave you in the lurch' Until you can get good man I will stay in the game.
 ''This manly speech affected President Won Der Ahe very much, but seeing that Connor's decision was irrevocable he re. gretfully accepted his resignation. It it likely that Sundays game will end Roger Connor's career on the diamond"
 Connor was born in Waterbury and has been playing as a professional since 1876 In 1882 he joined the New Yorks and fol years was recognized as one of the heaviest batters of the league.
 This season Connor has made ninety eight base hits and retires with an average of .342, according to the Boston Herald.

Women Whose M 'ney Was Held by
 the Collapsed Bank CrS ing on the
 Streets.
 1LLIMANTIC, July Il The excitement in this city to-day over the collapse of the Dime Savings bank Is intense. The streets in the vicinity of the bank were crowded with depositors all morning. Women whose savings were held by the institution could not be comforted and many were in tears.
 At o'clock the trustees held meeting and little later a notice was posted stat ing that all payments would be suspended until further notice.
 There is no clue as to the whereabouts of John l. Walden, the missing treasurer. Mrs Walden is calm and 1t is believed knows where her husband is hiding.
 Two Pinkerton detectives came on from Boston last night. One returned this morning and the other is still in the city.
 The safe was opened this morning and a number of personal notes for several thousand dollars. with absolutely no se- curity, were found.
 It was announced this noon that Presi. dent James Walden had fled, but this re- port was incorrect. He is at his home completely prostrated. The trustees will meet again this afternoon when a treasurer will be elected.

WHOLESALE SHOOTING.
A Whole Fnmily Killed OF Wounded by a
 Merciless Assassin.

Whole Family Killed OF Wounded by Q
 MerciIess Assassin.
 NEW ORLEANS, July 22.-On tho Terre Haute plantati6h in St. Johns parish a terrible butchcry of human beings took place. While Rosario GiOrdanO and his family were seated at the supper table Joe Noska walked up to the door, and, lcvCling double barrclcd shotgun, fired. Mrs GiordanO fell to the floor corpse and the shots that did not go through her went through both legs of the 4months old in fant she held in her arms.
 GiorianO, fearing that the babe would be killed in the fall, sprang forward to clasp it, and the assassin then fired again. The buckshut entered the groin and leg of Giordano. The 1O-ycar- old girl, on seeing her mother fall, ran forward and received portion of the load of buckshot that struck her father. The shot entered her abdomen, literally tearing it to pieces. At the same time little NicOlina fell to the floor, wounded through the head.
 The assassin, Joe Noska, did not move from the spot, but when he saw Bcnditto Giordano, a nephew of the dead woman, and Charley Columbano coming toward him he coolly placed two fresh shells in his gun and waited until they got very close to him. Then he raised the gun and fired both barrels, the two men falling dead.
 Then the murderer, throwing his gun over his shoulder, made his escape to the woods. When the citizens became aware of Noska's crime, they organized posse, and led by tho sheriff attempted to cap. ture the assassin. The wounded were brought to the Charity hospital in this city

Williams of PA Baldwin street. for $210. The auctioneer had to do considerable talking before he worked the bid up to this mark Robert McGrath started the ball rolling with an offer of $25. John J. Sheehan made il $1OO. H NJ. RigueY bid S2OO. and James Longworth run it up to $2O5 and there it stood. The auctioneer grew eloquent and told the crowd that some one was losing the chance of a life time. John Bergin nudged Robert McGrathand wanted him to make another bid, telling him that the stuff was "dog cheap" After a long pause MT Williams offered $210 and the stuff was knocked down to him. After tht bargain was closed bottle was opened and the crowd were permitted to sample the stock and it proved to be all the trustee claimed for it.

A Monster Snake Seen.

Some months ago a large snake escaped from Barnum & Bailey's winter quarters in Bridgeport. and though diligent search was made for the missing reptile it could not be found. The woods and swamps within radius of twenty miles of the Park City were secured On last Saturday, residents of Darien came across unmistak- able evidence of the presence of a monster reptile near Colonel Raymond's place at are greatly excited in consequence. It is claimed that the tracks of the reptile can be plainly seen in the sandy soil, and two persons are willing to admit having seen the monster. The circus people have been apprised of the facts

Possibility That New York and Com
 necticWt Militia Win Try 1t.
 It is among the possibilities that thera may be some sort of signalling project arranged for the signal corps of the Con- necticut National guard and the New York naval militia while the latter are encamped on Shelter island. The use of the hello graph and the flags and bicycles has anni- hilated distance and overcome such obsta- cles as rivers and mountains.
 It would be good idea to start a mes sage from New York up one shore and down the other to test the speed and ac- curacy of the service as guide for times of actual need. Nothing has been fixed at present, but the two services have always worked in accord and to their mutual ben eit, and there is no reason why something for practice should not be fixed up.

Chinese To Be Deported.

Federal officers have begun g
systematic raid on unregistered
Chinese in San Francisco. Every
Chinese laborer who does not pro-
duce a satisfactory certificate, ac.
companied by a photograph, will
be arrested and held to answer I'M
der the deportation law, commonly
known as the Geary act.
Heretofore Collector Wise and
the United States District Attorney
have often endeavored to rid the
State of convicts by methods pro-
vided in the national law, but this
is the first attempt to deport Chi
nese laborers who have no certifi-
cate. There is said to be several
hundred coolies who will be sent
out of California as a result of this
raid.

Ruried in Her PLANO.

Here is a curious item from GEL
man exchange: Miss Mary Tate, an
American girl, and pianist of con-
siderable merit, died a short time
ago, only twenty-one years old. Her
last wish was to be laid out upon
and buried in her grand piano. She
was laid upon the instrument, a
choral being played upon it, while
religious services were held over her
body. After the ceremony the cover
was raised, the strings torn from the
piano and the body placed in it.
Then the piano legs were taken off
and the body of the piano raised
upon the hearse.
As she had requested, her own
piano is her last resting place.

of one of the principal plan

"That one barrel is as good

barrels of other kinds"
Those who are agents for
other oils are forced to get

own mills.
Hundreds of competitive
tests have been made with the

other grades, and it has de-
monstrated it's value for eco

Want a Telephone Line.

"The project of building telephone
line from The Dalles to Antelope is being
agitated vigorously in this country, and
judging from the interest manifested by
most of those who would be the princi-
pal stockholders, it is very probable that
the scheme will materialize before long.
It is proposed to build the line from The
Dalles to this place by way of Dufur,
Boyd, Kingsley, Sherar's Bridge, Bake
Oven and Cross Hollows. The distance
between these two points, taking this
course, is something like 70 or 80 miles
and on account of the poles being go
easily procured, the expense of building
the line would be much less than that
required in most other places. By each
Iof the places named taking its proper
tionate share of stock in the enterprise
it would not be hard matter to have
the line completed and in in working
order by the Let of July. The Dalles is
the shipping point for this country, and
telephone line to that place would be
of inestimable value to every citizen in
this part of the interior. There is not a
A1dA OOlnS VI AlH0 III LA1c
part of the country but that would have
occasion to use the telephone several
times each year. Such line would save
man many long, tiresome, expensive
trip to The Dalles, and we don't believe
| there is citizen in this part of the
country but that would be glad to take
stock in the enterprise. We hope to
hear of satisfactory development in the
near future. HERALD. ''Such a line
has been under consideration by the citi-
zens of Mitchell for some time and ouI
people are, we think, favorably inclined
towards it. Should the Antelope people
desire our cooperation in this matter we
would be glad to join in with them and
make the telephone success. There ii
no doubt but that it would be of great
benefit to the people along the proposed
line and there is no reason why it coulC
not be put through at once. ."-Mitchel
