Bad Boys,

A lot of boys went up to the
reservoir yesterday and pulled off
boards from the reservoir building,
tore down the doors, stole and
carried away lot of tools, and did
other damage. 1t is hoped these
malicious boys will be discovered
and they will get the punishment
metod out to them their Grimes de-
serves. It may have been fun to
them to destroy property but if
found out they will not likely try
the same thing over again.

The World is Better To-dny.

Tho World is Better To-day.
oh, the earth's fun of SHINING
And of trouble and of woe,
But the devil takes an inning
Every time you say it's so;
And the way to set him scowling,
And to put him back II pace,
Is to stop this stupid growing,
And,to look things in the face.
Ii you glance at history's pnges,
In all lands and eras known,
You will find the vanished ages
Far more wicked than our own.
AS you sean each word and letter,
You will realize it more,
That the world is growing better
Than it ever was before.
There is much that needs Amending
Inthe present time no doubt,
There is right that needs defending,
There is wrong needs crushing out
And we hear the groans and curses
or the poor who starve and die,
While the men with swollen purses
In the place of hearts, go by.
But in spite of all the trouble
Il That obscures the sun to-day,
Just remember it was double
In the ages passed away,
And these wrongs shall be righted,
Good shall dominate the land,
For the darkness now is lighted
BY the torch in Sciences hand.
Forth from little NOTES in chaos,
We have come to what we are,
And no evil force can stay us,
We shall mount from star to star,
We shall break away each fetter
That has bound us heretofore,
And the world to-day is better
Than it ever was before,

A MAN CREMATED
In a Dwelling House Fire at Bridge
port Sunday Morning.
WILLIAM GOUDY THE VICTIM.
he Was Afflicted With Heart Trou-
BILE, and It is Thought BE Was
Overcome and Fell Headlong Into
the Crate Fire, and That as a Re-
suit the House Was Set on Fire.
The Island Hose Reel Responded.

At 1880 yesterday morning fire broke
Que in the frame dwelling house owned
by William Goudy, on Pike street, in
Bridgeport. The house was one-story
frame building, and when the fire was
discovered it was nearly destroyed.
When the alarm was turned in the
neighbors hurried to the spot and the
Island hose company went over, but
nothing could be done TO save the
building, and the attentions of all were
directed to the adjoining property. The
property loss was about $4,000,
William ooudy was the only member
Of the family at home, and 1t was re-
ported he was seen going home about
10 o'clock Saturday night, but not In an
intoxicated condition, as one Of the
Sunday papers stated. A gentleman
who saw him homeward bound said to
an IntelllEencer representative last
evening that Goudy was not under the
influence Of liquor.
Friday night he was attacked with
heart trouble, and 1t Is generally
thought that Goudy, after retiring, got
up to stir the fire and was attacked
by the old trouble and fell headlong
Into the fire. This view is reasonable,
as one arm was burned entirely of.
After an entrance was gained his re-
mains were found, badly burned and
blackened.
Goudy was sixty-five years Of age
and highly respected. The funeral will
occur tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock,
from the home of his mother. Mrs A.
j. Goudy. on Pike street, in Bridgeport.
The interment will be at Linwood
cemetery.
