 A good sized audience attended the production of '"fitania, or the Butter ties' Carnival, in City hall last night under the auspices of Division No 2 A. o. H. The entertainment was | very creditable affair and reflected great credit on Director John +. Gal win. who had the cast drilled so well that one would think the performance was being given by professionals. The costumes were very handsome and all who brayed the storm and turned out to see the play felt amply repaid fol the sacrifice they had made. It is es- timated that over a thousand persons were in attendance, which was con siderably more than might have been expected on account of the unfavora- ble weather. Miss Mary G. Denehy was musical director.

'''DO untO others as you would
 they should do unto you"

The above is what's known as the rGolden Rule" and as we understand 1t. should be practiced by all people who have wi.uin them a Christian heart, and. as rule, we think it's lived up to here in Waterbury. But we have grave doubts about this motto in one instance; lis our landlord s and their agent; and why? Because We doubt if they would relish being kicked out of their place of business after laporing for thirteen years to build up good trade, and. mind you. get just thirty days notice to quit. When you deduct four Sundays and Christmas and New Years day. it leaves us twenty-four days to get out" IT we oweG them anything we admit they would be justified; but We don't and never ulu and thank heaven. never will This is simply case of not drinking good tea and coffee, the kind we sell. However, We have no hard feelings in the matter: we are go- ing to q better landlord and, by the way, We are going from the first ward into the world famous fifth. Let us say right here, it doesn't matter where We are, the quality of tea. coffee and butter sold by Us will be the high grade. We believe in doing unto oth- CTS aS We would they should do unto us at

turned from Faribault, MIMI, Saturday

ter her interests in the estate of her un-
Gle, Harvey Scott, who died Aug. !,
leaving property to the amount of about
100000. OF this amount there is $4,000
in government bonds and notes. In his
will he ordered $4,000 to be burned and
willed that $4,000 be given to his house
keeper, who had been in his employ but a
short time and who seemed to have con.
siderable influence over his actions.

the station at Fairville, about ten miles
north of Newark, N. j. Engineer VIM.
Meaghcr of Sodns Point. was killed and
twenty-cight persons were injured, two
of whom, Howard Tubs, ticket agent at
ark will probably die.
The train was made up at Sodus Point
and consisted of four coaches, a bag
gage car and engine. The train was rum
ming mt nearly forty miles an hour. APP
%proaching the station at Fairville there
is Il curve and gravel pit. For some un-
known reason the engine jumped the
track while passing the gravel pit. The
force of the accident turned the engine
completely around, throwing the five
cars on their sides.
The train load of some $50 passcngers
was thrown into the ditch. and the en-
CINE and all the cars were badly broken
up.
Rev. DIR. Burgess, one of the injured.
was for twenty years pastor Of the Park

Is years old. and it is doubtful whether
he will recover Mrs. Burgess is also
among the seriously injured. Coroner
Thatcher took charge of Meagher's body
and will hold aA inquest.
The cause of the wreck is not known
exactly, but it is thought the rails spread.
There have been heavy rain recently. and

Startling and sensational was the con-
clusion of the Nebraska Republican state
convention Mt Lincoln Aug. %, in a wild
uproar which arose previous to the adop-
ton of resolutions recommending that
Joseph BARLEY, who has been released
OH n conditional parole by Gov. Savage,
be returned to the peitentiary. The mat
ter came up when the committee Oh res
buttons reported Il clause favoring this
course. Gov. Savage appeared before
the convention and declared that Bart
ley had promised to return $3.50 600 to
the state il released. He said that the
parole was not Il political issue, but IL
moral question. III he had erred on a
question of Judgment he was willing to
take the consequences. Then he offered
10 volunteer any information which the
delegates might desire.
An iratc delegate leaped to his feet
yelling that "the governor had conc back
on the republican record and the people
In the sand hills would not stand for it. "
Then ~pandemonium broke loose. Dele
gates bawlcd out questions; Chairman
Norval raped in vain for order. Ed
ward Rosewatcr gained the tloor and
made n speech in favor of public, honest
and equal punishment for all in proper
ton to the offcnsc committed, for small
and great criminals.
The question was argued for n long
time with vim and acrimony. Finally Il
vote was forced by the enemies of Bart
ley and he resolution was carried by y
| vote of 99S to lbs. In a voice trembling
with emotion Gov. Savage said: Il am
sorry belong to a party that has to pass
resolutions certifying to it's honestly"

No official advices have been received
Mt Washington respecting the situation
iii the ilis,rfcctionary parts of Colombia
and Venezuela since the brief report of
the arrival At Colon Of the gunboat Ma
Ci,ias.
Officials are not disturbed by the alb
sence of. reports. They know the Amcri-
can consnls are thoroughly alive
to the necessity of keeping the govern
ment here Informed of important devel-
opments. and they reason that either
nothing has happenedt to change the status
at the isthmus or in Venezuela, or that
owing to the cutting off of t%elegraphic
communication between the coast and
the interior it is not possible for our con-
suls or for Commander Sargent of the
Machias to acquaint themselves Will
! what is going on in the interior.
1t may be stated, in view of the re-
ports that IL government intends to liz
tcrvcne i'll the interest of one party or
the other. that the government here will
adhere strictly to it's well established rule
of non-intervention. Nothing but inter-
rnption of isthmian traffic, which the
United s ates is pledged to keep open,
Or 81 threat directed aginnst American in
~tcrests, could induce the government to
interfere.

RUSSIA G FAMINE.
Coming Winter Darkest in the His.
tor.y of the Empire.

coming WINTER li;lElACSt III THE Ills.
tory OF the Empire.
The day on which the first fruits of the
harvest We're blessed in the churches,
which was celebrated throughout Russia
last week, must nave been IL day of
mourning iii many of the provinces. The
outlook has grown worse almost every
where during the last four weeks. Even
vegetables, including potatoes. have been
largely burned by the scorclins neat in
some districts.
The approach of winter will be one of
the gloomiest Russia has ever seen. The
government has already begun prepara-
tions for the feeding of the people in
some provinces. by Il law made Il year
ago, the district assemblies are relieved
of all responsibility in the matter, the
famine relief funds being now turned
over to the central government. Agents
of the ministry of The interior are en-
gagged in buying up grain, though the
Russian press is forbidden to mention
the matter. The precise object of this
prohibition is difficult to divine. 1t cam
not be possible The government thinks
the grain spectators can be taken una
wares, and the secrecy with which the
purchases and the localities i'll which pur-
,chases are made can hardly be conducive
to economy.
