 to see such a large audience present at the Y. NJ. c. A. meeting for men only at Jacques opera house yester- day afternoon. to hear him speak on the subject Overcoming" MT But terworth has good voice and uses if
 to good effect He is a very attrac- tive speaker and holds the attention of the listener at all times. Mr But
 terworth opened his discourse by re- ferring to the nearness of New Years, the time when many new and good resolutions are made. Some people have ceased this practice, the result of their souls having ceased to struggle. When the soul ceases to struggle, that soul is dead," was the inference drawn. eff the inducement is sufficient, the power of the will is considerable. If you should say to any drunkard that there may be found in your city of Waterbury, I'll give you $10,00O if you will keep sober for a week. there is not one of such men who would not earn that $10000. But I suspect that it would not be a lasting resolution" MT Butterworth referred to a number of men who have overcome great diff faculties and become persons of much prominence in their walks of life.

Con- sidering the stormy weather, the con gregation was large. Father Fitzger- aid spoke at length upon the sacred ness of the Scriptures, referred to the wave of higher criticism which is sweeping oyer so many puIDits in churches throughout the country and of the effects of this higher criticism, ecepticism and infidelity. He re- ferred to the existence of God and to many proofs which may be seen in the universe of the existence of an all present. all-wise, allknowing and all powerful Being The lecture through out was most interesting.

BROOK ON THE RAMPAGE.
Considerable East Main and William
 Street Property Flooded.

The rain storm of last night did not do much damage on the public streets, but it caused a lot of trouble on private property, especially along the line of the brook that rattles down to East Main street from Laurel street. The property of James Sut- ton on William street was badly gut ted and at times it looked as if the house would be undermined and car ried away by the roaring torrents. The water tore out the entire yard and driveway, upset a chicken coop and entered the cellar and spoiled every thing in it. This is the second time within the past two years that MT Sutton has suffered on account of wa ter from this brook. The property of Edward Tracy on East Main street was also badly ripped up and it will cost several hundred dollars to make good the damage. A large amount of goods in the cellar of McCarthy's meat market was destroyed. The water did more or less damage all along the line to East Main street and some of the parties claim that they intend to seek redress from the city,

SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Gager of Derby Held a Special
 Session Here To-Davo


 Judge Gager of Derby came here to- uay ana held short special session or the superior court at the request of Attorneys O'Neill and Root. It ap- peared mat Attorney Root, senior counsel Tor the defense, in the case or Fartree ys Atwood which was de- cided in favor of the plaintiff some tlme ago, has been anxious for time 10 prepare it's appeal to the supreme court and was inclined to be dilatory There being about S25,o0o involved in this case. and the decision being very sweeping in it's details. the action of the defense seemed to be to delay mat ters as much as possible for reasons ostensible to the plaintiff. counsel for the latter determined to take summary action. Judge GageT decided that tile appeal should be completed by De- cember 31. and should be returnable on the third Tuesday in January in the superior court in New Haven. This is the great fraud case on: which the property on East Main street known as the Oriental stables is involved. By the decision of Judge Gager fraud was perpetrated by the defendants and the property should pass over to the plaintiff with interest from April, 1875.
 The other matter which demanded the attention Of Judge Gager was the election case of Donahue vs Perkins ct al There was to have been a hearing on this matter to-day. Counsel were ready with everything but the salient matter, which Judge Gager considered as not being ready by >any means. Counsel did not know how Judge Gager wished to begin, in view lof similar case. Flanagan vs Hynes, : having been tried by Judge Shum- way some weeks ago. Judge Gager found he could not finish to-day and he adjourned the hearing to the first Tuesday in January. It was agreed that each side shall have two counters. The plaintiff selected Attorneys Kelley and Cassidy and the defendant At itorney J.-J. O'NeilI and Judge Peas Hey. And instead of the loser having to ] pay for both it was agreed that each side shall pay it's own counters.
