CAUSED BY CIGAR STUMP.

One Life Lost and Three Story Building
 at Bridgeport Burned.
 Bridgeport, Feb. Fire broke out early this morning in a three-story franN block, owned by Lavery Broth CTS, at the corner of Stratford and Union avenues. Mrs Elizabeth Wat kins, eighty one years old, aunt of Mrs. Thomas Lavery, occupying the tene- ment of the latter, was strangulated by smoke before the firemen could rescue Ter. The body was recovered from the flames but slightly burned. During the progress of the fire she was once out of danger, but returned to her room to se- cure some clothing, being clad only in a night shirt, when her escape was cut off by the flames.
 The structure was occupied by Lave cry Brothers saloon and grocery store, both of which were totally destroyed The loss is $S,00O. Over a hundred bar rels of liquor, owned by Hugh Lavery, a wholesale dealer and brother of the occupants of the building, escaped de- struction.
 The tenants of the building escaped only in their night clothes. The flames originated from cigar stump thrown in a pile of sawdust in the bar room on the lower floor of the build ing.

OPERA HOUSE MEETING.
THE FIRST OF THE SEASON HELD
 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

Large Audience Heard Rev. J. E. John
 son speak-His Subject Was "Wooden
 Men"
 The first opera house meeting of the | season was held by the Young Mems | Christian association yesterday after noon and notwithstanding the rainy day the lower floor of the house was well filled with men. The popularity of the speaker, Rev. J. E. Johnson ot Philadelphia, was without doubt the cause of such large audience though the musical feature of the meeting was in itself a strong attraction. The choir from the United Congregational church rendered two anthems. The Hoosier Star trio sang three jubilee pieces and Professor Henry G. Nichols played ''The Palms" while the offering was be- ing received.
 The speaker of the afternoon has con- ducted thester meetings in Philadelphia for the past twenty years with remark able success, the average weekly at- tendance being 1,5OO. He spoke on the subject "Wooden Men," suggested by the incident of David's wife placing a piece of wood in the bed where David had been, thereby deceiving his ene- mics
 There were many classes of men to- day that reminded the speaker cf wooden" men. Among these were those who deserted their families; oth CTS who depended on others for sup port; others who loafed their lives away. Some were not as much use in the world as wooden men; were fit only to be placed into the fields to keep the crows away from the corn, He urged upon all present to be men in every sense of the word. Many remained to the after meeting at the close of the address.
 Next Sunday the services will be held at the opera house and will be ad- dressed by Dr. c. A. Dorman, who, by request, will repeat his personal purity address, illustrated with paintings.

MRS. SHERMAN w. KNEvAl

1 MRS. SHERMAN w. KNEVALS Yesterdays New York Tribune says l of the sudden death of a former New | Haven lady:
 Mrs. Sherman w. Knevals, the wife of Sherman w. Knevals, senior part ner in the law firm of Knevals x Per- " of 34 Nassau street, expired sudden ly while attending the matinee per- formance at the Criterion theater yes terday. Mrs. Knevals left her home 62 East Fifty-eighth street, just before

 She told her daughters, and they help

 Telephone messages were sent in all

 first of them had arrived Mrs. Knevals
 had succumbed to the attack. MT.
 Knevals. who had been confined to his
 house with a carbuncle, was also tel ephoned to, but did not arrive until af- ter his wife had expired. The scene of the first act, a miliner's shop in the Rue St. Honore, Paris. is some- what stirring, and it is thought that the excitement induced fit of apoplexy Mrs. Knevals being woman of heavy build. There was some excitement as Mrs. Knevals was led up the aisle SUD- ported by her daughter, but the knowl- edge of her death did not become known to the audience, as the wo-

COLD AND CLEAR TO-DAY.

The Promise of the Local Weather Blu
 reau-Trolley Cars Crippled Yester-
 day.
 It may be some satisfaction to New Haveners to know that the local wealth CT bureau is arranging to dole out to- day a different brand of weather from that which yesterday drenched pedes- trians and filled the streets and s,de- walks with slush
 All day yesterday and nearly all of Saturday night there was a steady downpour of drizzling rain which soon converted the snow which had previ- ously fallen into a slushy mixture which made walking on the streets anything but a delight.
 Yesterday the streets were full of wa- ter'swhich interfered considerably with trolley traffic. As is usually the case in wet times. a great many trolley motors were rendered useless and a dozen cars were taken to the barns with insulation in the motors burned out. The ice cov- ering of the pavements and streets pre- vented the water from soaking away, and it covered the rails, getting into tho motors and causing much insulation to be burned off. While the service was not crippled, yet the trolley people were kept busy substituting other cars for those rendered useless for the time be- ing.
 At the local weather bureau it was stated last night that for to-day the proba bilities were for colder and clear weather. While New Haven has been in the midst of the rain storm. other sections have received heavy snowfalls, notably in Buffalo and Cleveland, where there were deep snowfalls yesterday.

Scouten commenced his campaign
against A. L. Dyer with Judas
kiss. On the 81 of August he as
sumed the role of a friend, and said
to readers of the Herald eff you
are a friend to Mr.. Dyer vote
against him." In that article was
made to appear that Mr.. Dyer was
very good man himself, but he
had been over-persuaided by DR..
Christian and others to be candi-
date. Now note the change in his
tune. On the Sth of October he
said : ''Be not deceived by A. l..
Dyer, he will deceive you if you
are not acquainted with him and he
will deceive you if you are acquaint-
ed with him, unless you keep both
eyes wide open. If that is what
the News Item calls good man,
A. L. Dyer is IT." Slanderous
imputations. These are unsupport-
ed by facts and may properly be
allied SCoUTEN-MANIA.

Scouten's attack on Hon. Fred.
A. Godcharles has narrowed down
to a point of Stiffness. He imag-
ines that Mr.. Godcharles is search
inc for a wife and has commenced
to part his hair in the middle and
quotes what he might have said.
Scouten's reputation for truth is
such that he only wastes his news
paper space in such buffoonery.
Mr.. Godcharles has been tried and
proved his ability as legislator.
He assisted all labor organizations
in their demands before the last
legislature. He has been endorsed
by the two leading labor organiza-
tions of the State-The United
Mine Workers and the Railroad
Employees Union. They have rec
commended him to the people, is it
necessary to investigate further? ?
If laboring man wants laws to
protect him and his interest which
the capitalists are always clamoring
for, he must use his vote (regard-
less of parity to send his champion
to the halls of Congress. Let us
view the other side of the question.
In Mr.. Dickerman we find a Trust
Magnate of the blue blood order.
This information comes from many
of the most respected citizens of
Milton. 1t is known that it will
be very pleasing to Mr.. Dickerman
to get his family into Washington
society. He also has cold million
of dollars invested in iron indus
tries hitched up to the Trust that
must be looked after when the
President begins his operation on
them. We are reliably informed
that he does not even reside in this
district except few weeks in the
summer nor has he any of his great
wealth invested in the district he
hopes to represent. In fact the
only thing of apparent interest to
Mr. Dickerman in this district is to
get the scale of wages for a laboring
man down to soc day.
DO you propose voting to have
such representation in Congress.
We do not, nor could any party
lines of influences hold us to it.
See to it that the name of Fred. A.
Godcharles is marked on the ticket
you vote in November.
