 The program for the St Johns parish fair in Pythian hall this evening will be by far productive of more genuine laughter than any of the others all ready given. Miss Mamie Walker will appear in black-face speciality Of more than ordinary humor. Perhaps the feature of the evening will be the original colored trio in specialties in rag time, coon songs, buck dancing. cake walks and everything up tod the minute. These funny people must be seen to be appreciated. The fair up 10 date has been q hattering success and we'll attended. Roderick Deland has endeavored to present attractions of first class order and the music has been especially fine. One of the leading fea- lures has been the menu provided by the ladies of the parish, whose reputa- ton as cooks is well known. The door prize last evening was drawn by James Shields. A big crowd is ex- pected tonight.
 Andrew Barton is on the sick list.
 Don't forget the republican caucus tomorrow evening. The democrats will nominate delegate Saturday ey- ening.
 A young man from Hartford was in town yesterday afternoon and last evening for the purpose of looking over the field here for the location of White House cafe or lunch wagon. He introduced himself as Harvey Minor and said that he desired to secure a location half way between Tafts school and the postoffice. In the opin- ion Of residents here. however. such an enterprise would hardly pay.
 Another complaint has been made from a resident of the Niggerhead res eryoir road of the loss of several chick ems from his coop Sunday night.
 The condition of Marcus Fox, who was injured by falling down q flight of stairs into the cellar, is much better, and the shock to his nervous system will not be as great as was at first thought.
 This is the last night of the fair at Pythian hall and quite a delegation from Waterbury will attend.

: WILD WEST WRECKED.
One Hundred and Ten of Buffalo
 Bilrs" Horses Killed.

CHARLOTTE, N. C.. Oct. 30.-One hundred and ten of the ring horses of Buffalo Bill's'' Wild West show were crushed to death in railroad wreck near Lexington. Among the horses killed was Old Pap, Colonel Cody's favorite saddle horse. Old Eagle, the star ring forse. was killed, and his mangled body fell on top of one of the wrecked engines. The mules that drew the Deadwood coach were also killed. Colonel Cody spent the day at the scene of the wreck and is heart broken over the slaughter. He says his loss is $6O,000.
 The accident was the result of 2 head end collision between a fast southbound freight train and the sec ond section of the show train and was due to misunderstanding Of orders Several train hands were injured, but no one was killed.
 Twelve thousand people greeted the Wild West show in Charlotte, and it left at midnight for Danville, Va, where it was to have made its last stand of the season. At Danyille the show was to have disbanded and the animals sent 10 Bridgeport, Conn.,, to go into winter quarters.
 The show left here in three sections. Near Lexington as the second sec tion was going twenty miles an hour, a fast southbound freight train crash ed into it. Both engines were wreck ed. Next to the engine of the show train were two large stock cars. con- taining the horses, and this is where the slaughter occurred.
 The cars were smashed into huge, distorted heap of debris, and. only two horses escaped alive. The scene was sickening From the mass Of wreck age blood poured in small rivulet. Colonel Codyss engagement at Dan vile was cancelled in consequence of the disaster. which marked the close of a very successful tour.

HALLOWEEN. AT THE LIBRARY.
Story for Children at 8 p. m.- Rooms
 Made Inviting.

'
 Made Inviting.
 The library reading room which has been in chaotic condition for sev eral weeks has taken on order and symmetry within a few days and is now most inviting in its appearance. The freshly painted walls, green with a frieZe of rose, the shining, waxed floor and the polished tables, are cheerful in effect, and the row of hand some reference books on open shelves, entice one to literary browsing There are some 1.25O of these books now at the service of the public for study, but not for circulation. One of the most popular sets of volumes is Meyers Konyersationslexico q German en- cyclopeda, which exiles from the fath- erland spend good deal of time i'll reading. The atlases of various kinds are very attractive to the men who come into the room, for the pur- suit of facts seems to be the ruling passion of the sex The tone of the place is, however. much less aggres- sively masculine than in the past. for the librarian is doing all in her power to relieve the general impression that women are not allowed there The presence of Miss Peck is in itself suf- ficient guarantee that decorum and re finement will prevail, and the appear ance of everything is so much more in- viting than it used to be that many women as well as men are finding pleasure in it. The reporter noticed that the newspapers had disappeared and was told that in order to prevent the disorder incident to lie use of newspapers in the reading room, they had been removed upstairs, where. comfortable chairs and plenty of space are provided on the second floor. The librarian of the children's room and the library artist are devising some simple decorations for Hallow cen, and the day will be celebrated by the resumption of the much antici- pated story hour" on Halloween at s o'clock in the evening. The hour is little late for the youngest chill dren, and it will perhaps be best for parents to keep them at home. as the story will be told somewhat dramati-

 Plans for Remodeling Judd's Hall
 Important Meeting of Society Un-
 lon Church.
 There is a plan under way to have Charles Judd, the proprietor of Frater- liitv hall, put in electric lights and do away with the old kerosene lamps now in use. Mir Judd could reason ably charge more for the hall with electric lights and those who rented IT would be glad to pay the difference on account of the general improve ment. The idea has also been sug- gested that MT Judd fix up the base ment so that suppers or receptions may be held downstairs. allowing dancing to continue on the upper floor at the same time. There is no place to serve supper at the present time in this building and the idea is looked upon as a most excellent one.

He says that this should ap- ply especially to officers detailed for service under the new law, as they get no increased rank and are compelled to pay from $90 to $18O when so detailed. Most of the officers prefer commands in the line to such work.

DIAZ GIVES A DINNEK.
An Elaborate Junction for Pan-
 American Delegates.

American Delegates.
 CITY OF MEXICO. Oct. 30.-Thc dinner given by President Diaz in hon or of the visiting delegates to the pan American congress was one of the most perfectly appointed entertain ments ever given in this city. General Diaz made the following speech at the banquet:
 "Messrs. Delegates s-Interpreting tn sentiments of the people and govern ment of this republic, which has dis tinguished me with the office of it's president, l have the honor, in it's name, of offering to you this banquet as one of the demonstrations whereby it desires to signify to it's sister repub- lies, which you so worthily represent at the international American confer ence, it's deep gratitude for the good will With which all accepted it's inyi- tation, as well as the friendliness, re spect and merited esteem with which it has received their delegates.
 ''In the same capacity 1 express the hope that the conclusion of our high deliberations may be to such a degree fruitful in benefits for the peoples of this continent that their future rela, tions may ever be governed by the upright spirit which animated Wash ington, HidalgO Bolivar and San Mar tin in the most momentous and charac- teristic episodes of their heroic public careers.
 N071fl In r +r invite you to drink with me that the hopes which I have just expressed in the name of my compatriotS and which are the same as those that you harbor in your generous souls, but which hitherto have not passed beyond good desire, may become realities, binding together i'll intimate union the young nations which have sent you hither and which expect and have right to expect much from your wisdom and discreet patriotism. I hope, too, that nothing may interrupt the increasing prosperity of your nations and the just reward of their manly and intelligent efforts. And finally I drink for the perpetual felicity of your worthy presi- dents and express my desire that your stay in Mexico may be as agreeable to you as it will be to me-"
 Response was made by Gonaro Raj gosa, provisional president of the con- gress, who said in part:
 You are right, Mr. President, in confidently hoping that the results of the deliberations of this great conti- mental assembly will be fruitful in benefits to the nations which unani- mously accepted your invitation, for, on the one hand the wisdom, enlight- enment and patriotism of their dele gates warrant such an expectation, and, on the other, the medium in which those deliberations are being held is as propitious as could be desired in order. while encouraging perfect tran. quillity of mind, to enforce the convic- ton that the people and government of Mexico, being at peace with all the nations of the new and old world. have no other aim than to contribute to the consolidation of sovereignty of each one within it's territorial limits and to promote the free and progressive de velopment of democratic institutions in America on the footing of most ample recognition of one anotner's rights
