EVENTS IN WALLTNGFORD
MANY MATTERS OF INTEREST IN
 THE TOWN.

A Chapter of ofAooidents-RailroadC Crossing
 Unduly Blooked-The storm and the
 SchOols-Personal-Ge News.
 Yesterday was an unlucky one for the young lady employees at H. L. Judd & Co.'S works, at least for two of them. In the morning Miss Mamie Reilly had her finger crushed under a press, and just after dinner Miss Mamie Eaters by, who works in the same room, had her finger taken off at the second joint in a power press. Dr. Wilson attended both cases.
 There was considerable grumbling yesterday morning over the fact that the Ward street railroad crossing was blocked for about three hours by number of freight cars loaded with stone, that were thrown in on the side track by an early train, completely filling the cross ing until the switcher came up and righted matters. Teams that came in the street had to go back to the depot crossing.
 There was but one session at the schools yesterday on account of the storm, although the afternoon was far from a stormy one. The weather prophets at the school should be con- nected by telephone with the signal ser vice station and get a few pointers. "The Gilhoolys Aboard" will be the attraction at the opera house this even ing.
 The r M. c. A. basket ball team will play here on Monday evening. Com pany Ks team will appear for the first | time in their new green suits. l Miss Bertha Oddly picked a full bloom dandelion in her yard on Quin- nipiac street Tuesday.
 Rev, J. E. Wildman will conduct the l services at the Masonic home on Sun l day afternoon.
 The. annual meeting of the Royal Arcanum will be held this evening. The funeral of Thomas Brennan will | take place at g o'clock this morning l from Holy Trinity church. 1 F. S. Parmelee will start for Thom-
