a union temperance meeting to be held in
the Congregational church next Sunday
evening Mrs. Reed represents the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union work.
The Waterbury base ball nine played
against the nine at the Center Thursday
which resulted in a sweeping victory for
our boys, 2 to "a in Ave innings The club
has raised about 1886 which will be expend-
ed in building new grounds and buying
new suits.
Last Wednesday night the fire company
was out again for practice and this time
made the Waterbury hotel the point OF at
tack. 1t was only about three minutes
from the time Of alarm before everything
was ready for the stream OF water. The
way in which they raised the extension lad
de. and climbed to the top OF the hotel with
the hose would do credit to those Of more
experience.
The promenade at the schoolhouse hall
Friday night, under the auspices of the High
school was pronounced success. good
number were present and all seemed to en-
joy 1t. The large and beautiful hall Of the
school house makes such gatherings posi-
BILE, and with proper management, profit
able Good music was furnished, and de-
licious refreshments served by the Ladies
Union, consisting of ice cream and cake,
from which over S12 was cleared for the
good cause they represent. The High school
also netted a nice sum for the purchase of
pictures and adornments Of the school
walls.
The theft committed in the store of #. b.
Taylor last Friday during business hours,
when a considerable sum of money was
taken, opens our eyes to the fact that too
little attention is given to the proper con-
troll OF boys of school age in our village.
The fact that the village has no police pro-
lection affords more freedom to the evil
disposed and the custom OF allowing boys
to spend the most of their time day and
evening, in and about places of business, is
wrong. The Ashley boy who confessed to
taking the money from Mr.. Taylor's safe,
was given a hearing Monday evening and
was bound over to the county court. The
evidence against the Boodry boy was not
sufficient to hold him aud he was discharg-
ed.
A special village meeting was held FRI
day evening for the purpose of seeing If the
people OF our village desired a sewerage
system. A large number OF voters were
present and the feeling seemed to be al
most unanimous in favor of it. The only
expressed objection was by party whose
opposition usually aids the cause he OPP
poses. After remarks by Rev. Mr.. Ladd Mr..
Randall, Mr.. Elliott. DR.. Janes:and others,
Mr.. William Cooley moved that the viii
lage trustees be directed to employ a COM
petent engineer to have careful survey
made of the village with estimate of cost of
constructing sewer Mr.. Batchelder then
offered as an amendment to the motion that
the trustees be prepared to make full re-
port at an adjourned village meeting to be
held not later than one month from now.
The amendment was adopted and motion
passed. Articles two and three of the warn
ing were passed over. After remarks by
President Moody it was voted that all peo-
pie using village water for sprinkling the
street in front Of their premises should have
it free for that purpose. Some disappoint-
ment was manifested by those favoring the
sprinkling of the streets. With the guam
tity of water going to waste it does seem
reasonable that at least Main street might
be watered.
