Cleveland Man Uses Harsh Words in
 Asking for Receivers Removal

Cleveland. April 15.-S. H. Holding, attorney for the United States Salt Co, in Judge Stones court last week. during his argument for the removal of ex-Judge Lamson as receiver of the company, severely denounced Judge Stone for appointing Lamson receiver upon the application of J. NJ. Tender son, one of, the stockholders of the United Go.
 MT Holden claimed that the appoint ment was irregular, in that it was made at Judge Stones residence in the evening; that the other side was not given an opportunity to be heard, and that Mir Lamson was not q proper per- son for receiver, because he had been attorney of the United Salt Go in an other case.
 For the honor of the bench of this county" shouted Holding, undo your work and do not let it be said that in the privacy of your own home, under the seductive influence of Henderson, you appointed your social comrade and former associate on the bench to the receivership of the United Salt Cos The receivership was obtained by de- ceit.''
 Judge Stone made no comment on Holdings remarks.

On Thursday Evening at the K. of Q
 #s Eair ss


 Among other attractions secured for the Knights of Columbus union fair in City hall next week are the Clacka- jack minstrels from Danbury. Al though an amateur organization and composed chiefly Of Knights, this com pany has given half n doznll or more performances in Il way to Win the most nnstinted praise of the press. and when they appear fst the fair on Thurs day evening Of next week Waterbury people will receive q pleasant surprise. One rarely looks for so Iliglla state of development among amateurs as has been attained by tho Crackajacks. and able because there is not single pr0- fessional in the company.
 The securing Of this attraction will entail considerable expense. owing to the large number in the organization, all of whose travelling and hotel ex- penses have to be paid. but the general committee has not stopped at expenses in securing those attractions that arc most likely to win favor from visitors to the fair. Negotiations are now be- inc had. through Mr McCann's amuse- ment committee, with several other noted entertainers, and when they have been landed the public will be treated to q surprise. Indeed Mir Me- Cann's committee has already done such effective work that the general committee feels entirely safe in assert ing that this fair will be altogether one of the most attractive amusement enterprises that have been offered to the patronage of the Waterbury pub III

 SOId.....

On account of so many evenings in the week in which the stores are closed, and the people have little opportunity of seeing the goods they would like to purchase, we shall open our Mammoth establishment next Thursday evening from 80 until D. m.
 Our stock of House Furnishings is such a tribute to the genius of the American workman that we want the public to see it when they feel that he or she is not compelled to buy.
 Our salesmen will be on hand to an swer all questions ill their respective departments. This will be a treat which we know the public will appre- ciate. Our stock is beautiful and can not be described in small space. The prices are so low that you will wonder how they can be manufactured Tor the money
 Don't fail to take advantage of this chance as many of the advertisements to-day are decoys pure and simple.

GREAT ELKS MINISTRIES. First Stage Rehearsal Held Yesterday Afternoon at pal;.s T,bnator


 The first stage rehearsal of the Elks minstrels, which is to be presented in Bristol and in Waterbury, was held yesterday afternoon on the stage of Polls theater under the direction of Scott Snow. The first performance of the minstrels will be given in Bristol on the evening of April 20. A special train has been engaged to take the Waterbury minstrels and their friends to Bristol, and it is expected that at least 200 people will attend from this city. There are many Elks in Bristol who are members of the Waterbury lodge, and they will take part in the first part of the minstrels.l Everything is running along smoothly in the min strel company. and the tickets are meeting with ready sale. 1t will be a novel entertainment, in that it will be different from any other minstrels ever given in Waterbury. The end men are all up in their. business, and the chorus is doing well under the ttl- torship of Scott Snow. Next Sunday will see full dress rehearsal of the show, and then all will be ready for thestrip to Bristol.

JULY NOT ABSOLUTELY BARRED
Oxford and Cambridge May Be Able
 to Come Here in Midsummer.

London, April 15.--It was pointed out here yesterday as bearing upon the date for the forthcoming series of track games between the Yale Harvard and Oxford Cambridge teams in New York that the English athletes never absolutely have excluded the idea of meeting in July, as seems to be the impression in certain athletic circles in the United States.
 The official communication sent by c. N. Jackson, treasurer of the Oxford Athletic club, in reply to the challenge distinctly said that although July 15 was impossible, 1t was just possible that the contests might be held at the end of July, although it might be diffi- cult to arrange this matter.
