The Changes Which are Taking Place in Waterbury and the Benefits to be Derived.

One Of tho most wholesome signs ot the times from local standpoint Is the fact that the business conter of Waterbury Is spreading and the most significant thing about it is that it is spreading In all di- rections- It Is now universally ackno|l- edged that when the Waterbury Furniture Co bought the American Pin Cos plant two years ago and transformed 1t into !" commercial village in a twinkling. 1t was the first heroic attempt towards breaking up the high rent monopoly witch n favored few had enjoyed so long in the little circle called The Center" We thought 1t was high time that Waterbury should enjoy g larger Center" and accordingly took up our position on The Boulevard. One great inducement was that we wantei to be in the way of meeting the Wise Men, who always come from The East by a singular stroke of Fortune. our example Is followed by the POstofIice leaving the bea- ten track aud going to pastures new. But tho most heroic stroke Of all Is the open ing up of Grand street w" lift our hat to the pioneers of thls commt rclal enterprise for their courage and faith commands our most distinguished admiration, The mag nifcent building of the ApothecAries Hall Co in connection with tie bohl block has given our city pride an ilnmeLse boom.
 
 ancient eye-sore that stood there sO long. Waterbury is going to have n business boom. Personal pride and individual tt- fort point that way. Now that the court house Is assured. we ought 10 look for fl first class +. k. depot. We are afraid the trolley fright will retArd our progress Ill that direction. In the whirlpool of prog resS It seems providential that We should have such splendid quarters for the ac- commodation of the high scAoo. scholars. We may now expect to see educational training and Commercial enterprise walk hand in hand in Waterbury, and as the 3rd story is the place selected. It Is rInl- nently proper that brains instead Ot mus cIe should be on top. It will bo goo! news to the people to learn that EOtwlth- standing the bad weather Ut last week, II was the largest weeks business in the lis tory of this concern. Now that Easter is over it will be still larger. When our patrons can have acres of furniture 10 se- lect from why should they not take ndvAn- tage of their opportunity: Think ot Il line of Baby Carriages 2UU feet long, No two alike. The sights we have to show are seldom seen in Il lifetime. We thank our citizens for the pride they take ln showing their visiting friends through our spacious floors. We are glad to see that YOU take seat when you get tlrSd That IS right Make yourself at home in this establishment We are the Liberal as well as the Complete House Furnishers.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

William Gahan of South Riverside street had the palm of his left hand badly lacerated with a barbed wire fence last week. He is being treated by Dr Frost. The street department is putting down rail fence on Railroad Hill street, east side from the residence of Mrs Mary White to a point below the old embank- ment. Fms was always a dangerous place, and the improvement will be greatly ap- preciated by the residents of that vicinity and the public as well.
 James F. O'Brien, aged B. died at his home. 97 Charles street, Saturday night after an illness of eighteen months. The deceased was an employe of the Farrell Foundry X Machine Go, where he was re gardtd as an excellent workman and a very agreeable shepmate. He was a mem Der of Protector Hose company. No f, and of Sheriden Council K. ofC. The funeral will take place at S:30 o'clock tomorrow morning with services at St Patrick 8 church and interment in St Joseph's ceme- tery. The rooms of Protector Hose com pany are draped Tn mourning and the members will attend the funeral in A | body.
 The Easter services at the Lithuanian Catholic church were the most impressive ever witnessed in any of the churches of the city and exemplided in no uncertain manner the religious character of the Polish people. The guard was kept up all through saturday night and the place was visited by hundreds of people. many com ing from different towns in the state. Per hsps there is no other class of people in the world who suffered so much in modern times for their faith as the natives of Po- land and those of them who happened to be fortunate enough to reach a country where all are at liberty to worship God as they please, know well how to enjoy the privilege. This is the custom Tn Poland, said mem- Der of the church. and we observed 1t Satur- day night without being afraid of being shot at by Russian soldiers.

 Durant is about 23 years of ago and was born and raised in tho neighborhood in which tho murders occurred.
 Sketch of the Murderer.
 Durant is a graduate of the Cogswell High school and has been studying medi- cino for year. He was member of the Second brigade signal corps and was as sistant superintendent Ci Emanuel church Sunday school. He was always of quiet disposition. and his friends refuse to be- liovo, in spite of the ovidonca. that he com mittcd tho crimes attributed to him.
 The police, however, think Durant is another JaLk tho Ripper with mania for murder. Thy state that it is highly prob ablo that taIrant is responsible for the killing of Eugene Ward young drug clerk, who was found stabbed to death sov- oral months ago in tho store where ho worked No traCu was ever found of the assassin, and tho theory is that Durant killed him. No motive for this murder was discovered, and tho ficndish cruelty of it-Ward heinz stabbed in Is placoS-lcads to the belief that it was the work of an in sano person.
 Durant's parents are highly esteemed people of tia district in which they live His father Is chief enginour of Bucking- ham, and hcnwns a large shoe factory, and whilu not rich, has been ablo tu givc his children n good education and start thom in life.

The Chief Executive Declines to Make an
 Address, but Writes a Letter. In Which
 He Urges the sound Money Men to Get
 Together and Take Action.
 CHICAGO, April 15.-Following is the text of President Cleveland's reply de- olining tho invitation of Chicago busi- ness men to address a meeting hero:
 WASHINGTON, April l3. ''To Mcssrs. William T. Baker, George w.
 Smith, John A. Roache, T. w. Harvey,
 David Kelly and Henry c. Robbins:
 ''GENTLEMEN-I am much gratitied by the exceedingly kind and complimentary invitation you have tendorcd mo on behalf of many citizcns of Chicago to be their guest at gathering in tho interest of sound money and wholesome financial doctrine
 My attachment to this cause is so great and I know SD well tho hospitality and kindness of the people of Chicago that my personal inclination is strongly in favor of accepting your tlattoring invitation, but my judgment and my estimate of the propricties of my official place oblige me to forego the enjoyment of participating in the occasion you contemplate. II hope, however, tho event will mark the beginning of an earnest and aggrcS- SlHc enort to disseminate among the pco- plo safe and prudent financial ideas. Noth- ing moro important can ongagc tho atten- tion of patriotic citizens because nothing is so vital to tho welfare of our follow countrymen and to strength, prosperity and honor of our nation.
 Tho situation confronting us demands that those who appreciate tho importance of this subject and those who ought to be the first to sec impending danger should no longer remain indifferent or overconfl- dent.
 If the sound money sentiment abroad in the land Is to savo us from mischief and disaster, it must Do crystallizcd and com bincd and mado Immediately active. It is dangerous to overlook the fact that n num- ber of our people. with scant opportunity to examine tho question in all its aspects, have nevertheless bcon ignominiuusly pressed with spacious suggestions which in this time of misfortune and depression | find willing listeners prepared to give crcdcnce to any scheme which is plausibly l presented as remedy for thoir unfortunate condition.

The srcond NIur,lrr.

Sunday Mrs. Noble the aunt uf Miss Lamont, received through the mails n pa- per containing the four rings worn by her niece the day she disappeared On the pa per were written the namc and address of Theodore Durant. This. together with the fact that Miss Williams, an intimate friend of Miss Lamont, had beon heard to say that she knew Blanche had been nur- dered. but had refused to tell what she know. led the police to suspect that the same ono who had killed Miss Williams had slain Miss Lamont, and that, learning that Miss Williams knew of his crime, at tempted further concIalmcnt by commit ting a second murder.
 Late Saturday night the detectives had about decided that Durant had murdered Miss Williams, and this theory was fur ther strengthened Sunday morning after making a thorough search of Emanuel church.
 The dead and outraged body of Miss Lamont was found concealed in the stec- pie Death had been caused by strangu- lation The body was lying just inside the door of the tower room. nudo and on tho floor. Around the neck werc blue streaks the marks of fingers that had becn-press- cd deop into the tender flesh. The mouth was open. showing the regular teeth Tho NeAN A<hA49 NlSIOItNNl, bGAliS OEtAN and the lips were swollen and blood stain cd. The nose was tho only feature that re- tained its original shape, for tho checks were bloated.
 The girls hair was matted with dirt and hung loosely about her shoulders The body was badly decomposed, the odor from tho remains having reached the nos trils of the detectives before thoy opened the door.
 When the officers reached the top of the stairs. they found the door leading to the tower locked. They hrpko in the door II was so dark they could not sec. and one oi the officers struck a match.
 As the light f!arod up they saw before them the dead body of tho girl for whom they wero searching. The body was taken to the mOrgue, where It was placed on c slab by the side of Miss Williams
