SILVER PLATING COMPANY.

Organization by Hartford Men to
 Compete With the Combine.
 A dispatch from Meriden makes pub lie what has been known privately in Hartford for several weeks. says the Conrant, the organization of q new silver plating company outside the combine known as the International Silver company. The promoters of the new company are familiar with the business, the president having been perintendent of the William Rogers Manufacturing company before it's ab- sorption in the combine. The organiz- CTS of the company are not willing to have their plans made public vet. and the Courant, with other papers. have kept silent regarding the matter until the dispatch from Meriden gave out the news.
 The new company. organized under the laws of the state of Maine. will be known as the Rogers Brothers Manu- featuring company. John McFadden is the president and Samuel McFayden is the secretary. It's capital is S2O0.- 00O According to the dispatch the fiat ware is to be manufactured in Wal 1ingford. at the plant owned by George Hallenback. which has been purchased by the company, and the blanks will be plated in this city. where the com pany has secured plant on Mechanic street It is expected that large number of hands will be employed when the company gets fully under way. It is the intention to start the business as soon after the first of the year as possible.
 Connected with the new comOanV are Simeon L. Rogers. and George H. RCgers, sons of Simeon Rogers, who lived in this city. and was one of the original Rogers brothers. It is from them that the company gets the right to use the name of Rogers. which has g. considerable commercial value in the trade.

MANY CHILDREN DESTITUTE.
Selectmen's Office and Police Court
 Reveals an Awful Condition


 The drink habit appears to be on the increase among the women folks ip waterbury. and if something is no. dohe to stay the ravages of the vice. waterbury will soon need an institu- ton where destitute boys and oirls can De properly cared for, while their unfortunate mothers are servino out sentences in the county fails. During the past few weeks some heart-rendine slghts were witnessed in the police court and at the selectmen's office of the awful condition children have been reduced to on account of the conduct or thelf mothers. little tots not able to speak crying for want of sleep and Ior something to eat. while their moth, CTS. II they could control their appetite HOT 1quor would find no trouble in supplying them with everything neces- sary fer their maintenance All chil- oren want to render them happy is enough to eat and q little clothing. and any woman. even though her husband IS q drunkafd or an migrate. and turned his back upon her, can provide for her children until they are able to help themselves if she keeps away from lqror and makes the best possible use or such means as are at her disposal HolIe people VIII tell you that these women should be put in jail for good and their children turned over to the state, but this is rather harsh view of the case. These unfortunate vom- en may yet be above their passions and turn out to be first class mothers. so that it would be uncharitable to treat them with such severity that they could net hope for an opportunity to mend their, ways and be reunited to their children when they had proved that they were able to care for them. The great trouble is. what can be done with the children while their mothers are not capable of looking after them without committing them to the aims house or the county home? That's the question. Who can give us the easiest way out of the dilemma. for that is what it might rightfully be termed. It would be a grand thing if we had a home right here in Waterbury where children of all ages who become tenn pOrarily destitute from any cause, could be cared for It would be an i easy matter to find the home but where would the funds come from i That's the question we should be pleased to have some one answer.

HIS FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY.
Marcus Hellmann of Grand Street
 Surprised By His Friends.


 Yesterday marked the 1iftieth anni- yersary of the birth of Marcus He'll mann, the popular Grand street hotel man. and a number of his friends col lected at his residence and rendered the occasion one which will long be remembered by MT Hellmann and those who were fortunate enough to be among the elect. AIr Hellmann was inveigled down to Naugatuck and when he returned the party was in full possession of the place and as soon as he entered the festivities con- menced with Paul Asheim as toast master. The exercises included piano selections by MT GroetZenbach: reel tatiOn. Paul Suesse; address, F. P. Brett: quartette singing. NJ. J. Ryan, Charles Roylan, John J. Siefen and Leonard ASheim: vocal selections, the Nassau sisters: song. Charles He'll mann. w. D. RichardSon's cOngrat tula- tions were expressed by q short speech accompanied by fifty carnations. Mar GUS Hellmann was born in Germany on December 10, 1850. and lived there until he was twenty-eight years old, when he came to the United States and has resided here ever since. He is one of the best known and most pOpu- lar citizens of Waterbury and his friends nope he will live to round out the century mark in as good health and spirits as he is to-day. While MT Hellmanns success ill life is due main- ly to his probervial good nature, still one would not be wide of the mark if be should state that he owes practi- cally all his good fortune and happi- ness to q wife, who always looks at the bright side of things and knows how to be cheerful in all kinds of weather

STORY OF THE RIOT.
Citizens Killed and Buildings Burned by
the Mob.

Citizens Killed and Buildings Burned by
the Mob.
AKRON, O., Aug. 24.-In this city,
the heart of the boosted Western Re.
serve, a mob sought the life Of a negro
prisoner and in conflict with the au.
thorities shed blood. Louis Peck, a
colored man, was put in Jail on the
charge of criminally assaulting the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Mas. The report that he had confessed
spread rapidly and a mob gathered.
Not believing the statement Of the
sheriff that Peck had been sent out of
the city, the crowd sent committees
through the county prison and city Jail
to search for the prisoner. This proving
fruitless the crowd gathered in from t of
the city prison, where the mayor adj
dressed them, urging them to dispense.
Someone fired shot, more followed,
and in few minutes there were terri
BILE scenes Two persons are dead from
the shots, several badly wounded, and
at least one Of the latter fatally in
jured.
Shortly after midnight the mob broke
into hardware store and stole
All the Firearms and Ammunition
they could find. including guns, rifles
and revolvers and proceeded to the city
building and opened fire on the defend
ers, and finally set FIRE to the Columbia
hall. which adioins the city building.

What Not to Say.

Do not..say, II can't eat" Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and say, Il am
hungry all the time, and food never
hurts me"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the. morning as at
night. If they happen to be sharp
they will tell you Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures that tired feeling.
Do not say; "My face is full of
pimples." You are quite likely to be
told by some one, "There's no need
of that, for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
pimples."
1t is improper and unnecessary to
say, ''My health is poor and my blood
is bad" Hoods Sarsaparilla will
give you good blood, and good health
will follow as natural consequence.

has gone mp in smoke. The city hall is
totally destroyed, the Columbian build

heap Of ashes, and several smaller
frame buildings in the vicinity are in
ruins. The destruction was wrought
by the wild mob which held possession
Of the city from dusk until almost dawn
in the morning.
It is estimated that the mob was
composed of not less than $1,000 men.
Throughout Wednesday afternoon
there were ominous mutterings of the
gathering storm which grew more and
more pronounced as night approached
The authorities
Did Everything in Their Power
to quiet public opinion but despite their
efforts large crowd gathered around
the Jail, where Louis Peck, the alleged
negro rapist, was confined and soon the
cry, ''lynch the niger" was on every
tongue.
Meantime the authorities had quietly
removed Peck and another negro pris-
oner from the Jail and sent them to
Cleveland in the custody Of two deputy
sheriffs.
The mob, however, would not believe
that the man they sought had been
taken away. AS the night wore on the
fury of the rioters grew apace, finally
eliminating in an assault shortly after
midnight on the courthouse and later !
On the city hall. Immense charges of
dynamite were placed under the city
and county buildings, and then, to
complete it's work, the mob applied the

to the ground and the city building was
on fire. The fire department was called
out but was unable to do much work as
the rowdies cut the hose at every OPP
portunity. All the prisoners who had
been penned up in the city building
escaped through rear window and ran
for their lives.
At $3.50 a. m. everything was quiet
about the ruins of the city building. In
the destruction of the building the city
has lost all the records of the city clerk
