 The St Thomas Cadets held meet ing last night but owing to the ab- Sence of several members who had other engagements for the evening lit t-e business was transacted. The meet ing was adjourned till tomorrow af- ''rnoon in the Lyceum building, when 1 1t k expected that every member will l In .l1J meeting committees will be appointed 10 make all necessary arrangements for the annual supper to the football tgaln. The record of the eleven this fall has been a magnificent one and consequently the supper will be a mag i ni1iccn1 one and will excel any similar feast given by this popular organiza- 1 tion.
 The street department is putting | down croSSwalkS at the intersection l of Porter and Charles streets and at other places in that neighborhood and
 will have everything there in ship shape for public travel before the bad weather sets in. The laying of cross walks here as well as elsewhere was | delayed somewhat on account of the | rush in the street department getting work done on several streets on time to give abuttin@ property owners a

That's why the work now on hand ill this section was not at ! tended to earlier in the season. not be cause the department had forgotten 1 all about it.

 The announcement that William J.
 Collins and family of Green street are
 to leave here and take up a permanent
 residence in New Jersey, where MT
 Collins will have charge of the Wright Machine Co. which has decided to re- move from Waterbury to that place, has OccaSioned general regret among
 their neighbors and friends, for NIT
 and Mrs Collins are among the best known and most respected residents of Waterbury and have hosts of friends in all parts of the town who regret to loose such desirable neighbors. Both were born here in Waterbury and all
 ways lived here and on this account | many think that no matter how well I. the world may use them in New Jer- Sey they will some day grow. tired of , life there and return to the old scenes . in the City of Brass. Mr Collins
 learned his trade at the Farrell F0un
 dry and Machine Co and is considered
 one of the best mechanics ill the state so that any time he might decide tO
 pull up his stakes and return the mat
 ter of securing employment would not l bother him. for such men are always in big demand in a place like Water l bury. Mir Collins will be missed by l everybody who knows him, but it is ] thought that his loss will be felt more l keenly in this part of the town than elsewhere where his prOverbial good nature and droll humor have done | much to render the blues an unllnowI . disease south of the Mighty Nauga I tuck river" Collins. give us your hand
 Here's wishing yourself and family
 good luck in your new home.
