NEW MILFORD.
THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.


 The stockholders of the New Milford and New Preston trolley property, for which they obtained 8 charter power three years since and have had the time for developing the same extended by our present Legislature, held 8 meeting in this village on Saturday afternoon last. Harmony prevailed all through their proceedings and an option has been given to 8 party who it is said means business. It looks very much as if a trolley line would soon be in operation from New Milford to Lake Waramaug. We say we hope to see it and believe it's existence will be valuable to this village, New Preston and places along the line and great convenience to the public. All hail to the trolley!
 St Johns (EpiscopaD church had ex- cellent music Sunday last. It being Palm Sunday. a somewhat extra effort was made to have the service as com- plete as possible. w. s. Jones and MT Hanis, both from New York, added &LCEb4Y bO bbC buA OhoS pOlGIOu O4 the choir. Mrs Wentworth, a fine so- prano singer, has been engaged to take the leading part as soprano for the sea- son and the choir at St Johns is now in fine shape. The attendance on Sunday evening was very large and about all of the seating capacity of the church was utilized. All went home feeling we'll re- paid for their going to church. Easter Sunday will be equally as nice and al ready preparations are being made to make the days service very entertaining.
 Frederick LaBrague will open first class meat market in the Eddy store on Bank street the latter part of this week.
 The roads are now in perfect settled condition and bicycles are appearing in vast numbers on the street, affoEding great pleasure to the riders and causing pedestrians some uueasiness on the side walks. They should take the high ways same as other vehicles and that will probably be the order soon from the Board of selectmen. If delay is made somebody will get injured sure by mex perienced riders. A word to the wise is sufficient.
 B. F. Humiston and David E. Soule are exchanging residences, this week, and the air is full of hous ehold furni- ture.
 Reuben Booth has bought the resi- denee of the late William N. Canfield, and is giving It grand overhauling by Improvements putting in street water pipes, painting, etc. It is nice prop erty and will be equal to the best of them in that neighborhood.
 T. Soule &5 Co.,, have taken the con- tract to build large tobacco warehouse for Carl F. Schoverlipg on the lot he purchased last season near McN .mara's elevator property. David E. Soule will superintend the building Of the same and he is without peer In that line. Business of all kinds is fairly active in and about the village and we think we can see general improvement all along the line this spring.

GOING TO HEAR sOUSA?

Arrangements have been nearly con- pleted to run special train to Water bury on the evening of Sousa's concert which will be given in Waterbury, Tues day evening, April 20. This will be an opportunity not to be missed by our muslcal cranks to hear one Of the most famous bands in existence to-day and in- cidentaly to see it's most famous leader, Sousa. Almost everybody has heard at some time or another within the past few years of his skill as musician, con- poser and leader. It is to be hoped that enough people will hand their names to E. B. Marggraff stating their willing ness to go to Waterbury that night so the special train project will be sue cess.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Ten Negroes Are Captured While h. dulging In Their Favorite Game of
 Shooting Craps.

About 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon Officers Scott and Nix raided a crap game on Twen.y-third street and Second alley. Ten negroes were arrested and locked up in the city prison on a charge of gaming.
 Todd Killiam. who Is well known to the officers, is said to conduct an eating house on Twen'ty-tklrd street. batween Second and Third avenues. His house has three rooms. ore behind the other. The front room is fitted up as a restaur- ant. Doors connect with each room.
 Yesterday afternoon as the officers en- tered the front room BuS.er Mctiee and Sallie Wallace, who were on watch, at tempted to sound an alarm, but were persuaded 10 remain quiet when they looked down the barrel of revolver. These two were placed urder arrest, and the officers passed through ths second room and opened the door lsnding into the near room of the house.
 As the door opened, q queer sigh; was preserted. On the floor was spread a blanket, and gathered around it were eight negroes. Todd Kiliam was manip- ulating the "ivories, 'land. knselins. he called for "iitue Joe; come listle Joe"

A Botanical Freak,

Oneof tho curiosities of nature is known as q plant atol. There are but two or thrco of these known to scientists. This atol is made up of Q circle of growing plants. They arc found floating on the top of ponds or lakes. They form hoop shaped ilgura and are closely matted together at the roots, which make sort of cup CT basin, to which mere or less vegetable matter falls or fioats There is Q sufficient amount of nutriment in this to keep the rlant growing. As it increases, the roots become longer and larger, and in tine the plant may anchor itself in tho soil at the bottom of the pond. These rings, after many years of accumulation and growth, make what appear to be small islands. It.is the oipin- ion of certain scientists that islands may have bcen formed in this nlanner. Ihe roots catch all floating vegetable or ani, mal matter. Leaves collect and form mold, and after awhile birds may drop plant or tree seeds on the little pod that floats on the top of the water. These take root and further assist in the growth. of the little island. It may t@kc centuries for tie plant to come to any size, but with nature a thousand years are but as yesterday New York Ledger.

E 4 Instead of fJthe Joe he called for "Joes- Nix and Scott walked in and arrested the entire crowd.
 At the station house they were locked up on the following charges:
 Todd Killiam, running a gambling house. Todd Killiam, Hattie Moseley, Sallie Wallace, Andrew Terrell, Mike Thompson, Wallace Whfsside, Buster AIcGhee John Whiteside, Gerald Jackson, Jim Brooks, violating section 530 of the city code, which prohibits games of chance.
 On the blanket the officers found about $2 and several pairs of dice. All told, the crowd had about s5 in money. No weap- ons were found. i-.is
 The place has been under the watch full eye of Officer Scott for some time, and yesterday he called, for Officer Nix and Iaided the game. No one managed to escape, and the two plucky officers had but little trouble in handling all ten of the negroes.
 They will probably be tried this morn- ing. l4A n

A WOMAN'S NO.
To That Was Due the Attempted Assas-
 sination os Alexander II.

To That Was Due the Attempted Assas-
 sination os Alexander II.
 People were much surprised when the manic of Berezowski, the Pole who at. tempted the assassination of Czar Alexan. der II during his visit to Paria at the time of the exhibition of 1S07 was found figur. ing on n list of persons for whom an am, nesty was asked at recent sitting of the chamber, for the mans existence had been practically forgotten by the public, and the great majority would probably have replied if questioned on the subject that he was dead. As matter of fact Bere. zowski has been languishing all these years in New Caledonia. He has become insane, so that his release would now be of no earthly benefit to him. This is very interesting case, md some information given ly the officials at the ministry of the colonies is worth repeating. It is the old, old story of "Chorchez la femme" Bere' zowsEb then barely 19 years of age, was workman in a factory, when he fell des. perately in lore with the foreInan g daugh. ter. His suit vas refused at the very no mcnt when the Emperor Alexander was hcre, and, beside himself with passion and disappointment, be resolved on suicide. Then hc Lethought him that he might as well sell his life dearly, and he seized the opportunity of the czar's presence in Paris to attempt to Eill him.
 So if Berczowski had not been crossed in love the shot would never have been fired, and tho political events which fol. lowed might have taken a very different turn. The Pole las never given any trou. bio to lis custodians in the remote colony. He maeo himself useful, and his lot be. came easier. Besides money presents, his fellow countIyInen forwarded to him from time to time letters end newspapers, but be took little notice of them. BerezoUski's insanity is Of a harmless kind. He imag ines that he Las discovered tho secret of perpetual motion. Now, with his long, white locks and e;naciated features, he looks quite an old man, though he is no more than 48 years Of age.-London Letter.

TAKEN FOR A ROGUE.
Comedian Francis Wilson's Experience Tn.
 a London Jeweler,s Store.

a London Jewellers Store.
 Francis Wilson, the actor, despite the rogAish roles he assumes on the stage, en- joys the reputation of being an accom- plished gentleman of refined tastes and ex- mIlory habits, ag vel 9s an industrious student and the poasessor of one of the finest libraries in the country Whenever he is able to escape from the ezaoting de- mands of his profession, he is usually to be found with his wife and children at his luxurious home in New Rochelle. Occa- sionally, however, he makes brief visit to the old world, from which he is accus- toned to return with Q collection of curios and presents for his friends. 7 ie
 In tho course of one of his visits to Lon don he had an experience which has afford ed his friends considerable amusement. While walking along Regent street one day with an old acquaintance he saw some dia- monds displayed in tho window of jew eler's shop. He looked at them critically for several moments, then turning to his companion he said:
 II have just received an unexpected check for $500 and don't think can em- ploy it to better advantage than by getting some diamonds for my wife. Let us go in.''
 Wilson and his friend then entered tho shop The proprietor presented himself and. asked what they desired.
 "You have a tray of diamonds in tho window" said tho little comedian. twill you lot me see them?n
 The stolid faced shopkeepcr' surveyed his prospective customer from head to foot. He saw sharp featured little man with long nose and .beadlike eyes. Despite tho factthat his face was clean shayen, myriads of indomitable beard roots gave to his wis age that peculiar bluish tint that Thespian folks are wont to effect in their make up.
 "Do you want to buy or only to look at themf' asked tho suspicious Briton surlily.
 "That depends altogether upon how they please me" retorted the comedian. 'I certainly will not purchase unless am first permitted to examine them"
 The shopman left his place behind the counter and walking to the door quietly opened it.
 "I've had that same trick played on me once,beforc," he said as he again surveyed his visitor critically. "I'm 0 bit wiser now'
 And at least 91o0 poorer to boot" ob served the comedian us he left the shop.
 Wilson's demands were supplied a few minutes later, however by jeweler on the opposite side of the street.-Atlanta Constitution.
