 A pleasant evening was spent at tue home of Miss Alice Wolf, on Laurel street, last evening by number of her many friends.

An excellent spread was served during tine evening. I .Is The Moran brothers. William N. and | Thomas B.. will be in the field next 1 summer with a stock of ice that will make the other dealers hustle to com l pete with them. They have recently | purchased the Heffernan ice plant on Cooke street and to-day they began l cutting and storing the supply. They propose to secure enough to last them until the cutting season begins next 1 winter, as last season the supply ran l short long before the summer season l was at an end.
 The talk of consolidation will dc some good, anyway. If the bill passes 1 people in the outside districts will 1 have heard enough to satisfy them | that they need not expect public i'm | provements unless they pay full taxes and whether it goes through or not ii will be the means of giving the public l q good deal of information about the inequality of taxation in Waterbury and on this account they may be more easily talked into change by and by than they are at the present time.
 The Redemptorist Fathers, from St 1 Clements monastery, Saratoga, will l open q two weeks mission at St Fran. ciS Navier's church tomorrow.

It is expected that one of the fathers will preach al the last mass and also announce the order of exercises to be observed dur. ing the mission. It is many years since the Redemptorist Fathers gave q mission in Waterbury, but the rec. ord of their energetic work encourag es the faithful to look for fruitful mission on this occasion. It will be an appropriate introduction to the new century.
 The street department is annoyed considerably on account of the conduct of careless drivers of wagons. who 1 pass all over town with loads of tir prevent it from falling upon the streets. Yesterday afternoon West Main street was filtered with scraI tin and it required the service of 3 number of men to clean it up. There is an ordinance regulating this matter and Superintendent Kelley desires tt inform the public that he has found it necessary to ask that it be enforced so that the first person caught at the business after this date will be prose l cuted. Wheelmen are not .xery mucl concerned about the question at pres ent, but last summer complaints were that they could not go over some of the | streets with any degree of safety be cause of the presence of scrap irOr and tin.
