 cern has joined the Saturday half holi- day movement. Announcement was

 A man supposed to be Robert White, at one time we'll known resi-
 dent of Waterbury, died yesterday on the railroad cars while on his way to his home in Brunswick, N. J., from Rockaway Beach. Robert White was carpenter and builder and used to
 own considerable property on Jeffer- son street and in the north end. Among his effects were found $32O in money.
 The roads in the suburban districts of Waterbury never were ill better shape than at the present time, and the improvement is still going on. All
 ready most of the highways have re- ceiyed attention from the street de- partment and as ; result the farmers are happy. Of course the dry weather has rendered travel somewhat disa greeable on the country roads: the dust is frighful, but q little rain will settle this.
 The will of the late Mary Ann Cross
 land was filed in probate today Mrs
 Crossland left certain mortgage and
 mortgage note to her son, Charles IT.
 Crossland; to her other sons she left
 S1 each, she having provided for them from her property according to their
 needs during her lifetime To each of
 her grandchildren living at the time of
 her demise is left $50 and the balance of her estate is left to her daughter,

 There is more or less rivalry between Buffalo Bills wild west show and | Goodrichs circus. A little of this rival l " has been displayed in this city. l Yesterday the side wall of the building occupied by the Pollak art store was
 decorated with huge posters, advertis- l ing Goodrich's circus. To-day Good
 rich's name and the date of the ap- pearance of his circus are entirely hid den from view with papers and hand bills and also posters announcing the coming of the Wild West show. The rapid change has attracted no little no- tice and the side wall of the above l mentioned building is not very beauti- | fully adorned to-day.
