GIFT WATCH IS GONE.

 Stolen From Armorer Allen at the
 Armory
 New Haven, April 24.-Captain An drew Allen, drmorer at the armory on Meadow street, is mourning the loss of a valuable watch, solid gold chain and a watch charm which had been presented to him by his fellow work men.
 Captain Allen placed the watch in his vest which he hung up in locker in his room at the armory. Ever since the Yale men have been drilling at the armory some of them have used the captains quarters as 9 sort of cloak room.
 On Wednesday afternoon the cap tain hung the vest with the watch in it up in the locker about 1:30 o'clock and at 4:30 when he went to the room to get the vest he found that the watch was gone He had left the room open so that the Yale men could get in and out, as it was the evening of the competitive drill, and it is thought that someone taking adyan- tage of the open room stole the watch.

MATTHEWS & WILLARD co.
Judge Beardsley of Bridgeport Will
 Sell the Plant To-morrow.

Judge Beardsley of Bridgeport Will
 Sell the Plant Tomorrow
 For the second time in it's history, the plant of the Matthews & Willard firm will go under the auctioneer's hammer, tomorrow at noon. It is taken for granted that the buyer will be the Scovill Manufacturing Go, which is said to be the largest creditor, hay ing claim of about s160,O0o against the concern. The auctioneer will be Judge Beardsley of Bridgeport, who was appointed by the superior court. Everything is ready for the sale and unless something unexpected turns up it must take place, to carry out the orr ders of the court
 About fifteen years ago the firm went under the first time. The cause was then IS it is said to be now, not up to date. It was then owned by the orig inal Matthews & Willard, former Mayor Henry A. Matthews and Mir Willard of New York were the princi- pal stockholders The superintendent was David Mack Ireland, who is now running a rival concern in Detroit, Mich. with Mir Matthews's son, Henry A., Jr. Stove trimmings was the prin- cipal product of the factory then; now it forms only small part of the out put and very minor one at that.
 It was so long before the new com- pany was formed that it was supposed the rumble of machinery would never again be heard inside the walls. When, however, the new company did take possession, the first thing done was the clipping of salaries all around and the discharge of many bosses, or men who were looked upon as such. Many of
 Mir Matthews's relatives were among the lot. The concern was full of bosses. There was a boss at the head of the elevator and a boss at the foot of the elevator; boss to see goods loaded on the trucks md a boss to see the goods pass out the gates. Fore men had full swing and some of them became famous in various ways, such as holders of weekly rallies, bucket shop games livery stables and milk routes, to all which the employees were to an extent obliged to contribute. Those were the days when if factory operative looked cross at the foreman he was kicked out the gates.
 But the great change evidently did not prosper, for once again the old con- cern goes to the hammer. There are not POO operatives engaged at present l Tn fairly busy times the concern sem- ployed over 1000 hands.

 Charles Frederick Martin of South. ington, a brother of Calvin l.. Martin, of 34 Kellogg street, who is invoice clerk at the factory of the Holmes, Booth X Haydens Go, will probably lose his left foot as the result of an accident which he met with last night. Charles Martin, who had been visiting his brother Calvin, left the latter's house last night about 10 o'clock for the purpose, as his brother thought of returning to Southington. where Ae is employed Later. it is said, he was joined by a companion, Floyd Drew of Southington. They boarded as boarded a freight train ill the freight yard of the Highland division about 12 o'clock and rode on it to the place known as the Meriden junction. Here the train stopped somewhat suddenly and Martin was thrown to the ground. One of the car wheels passed over his left leg, severely crushing it as far as the knee. Dr Russell was summoned. snd he dressed the injured member. He was taken Ill a uagsage car to the Meadow street station and thence in Lunny's ambulance to the hospital, where he is being attended hy pr Graves It is feared that his leg will have to be amputated as far as. the ankle. Martin was employed at the Southington cutlery shop. It is said that he and his companion were on their way to New York state when the accident occurred There was a story to the effect that it was Calvin Martin who was injured but the many friends of MT Martin will be pleased to hear that it was untrue

CLOSING ASSEMBLY.
End of a Successful Season for Prof
 Bailey's Pupils.

Bailey's Pupils.
 The closing assembly by the mem bers of Prof 0. A. Bailey's academy of dancing was held in LeayenWorth hall last night, and was largely at tended. Before the dancing began Faulmann's orchestra rendered m eX- cellent concert program, which was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The dancing, of which there were twenty-two numbers and extras, con- sisted chiefly of two-steps and Waltzes. A feature of the dancing was the intro duction of Prof Bailey's original yer sion of the three-step. It was pretty The young ladies present were att1red in light dresses. The programs were very neat and on the cover was the following verse:
 For a graceful mien
 Trust to art, not chance;
 For they move easiest
 Who've rightly learned to dance.
 The assembly was very enjoyable and was a fitting close to 8 most sue cessful season by Prof Bailey and the members of his classes. The reopen ing of his classes will take place i'll Citizens bank building September Fl.

BoTTLERs HELD MEETING
Fndeavoring to Protect Themselves
 Against stealers of Bottles.

.EHuedNorIHg 10 PrOTect Themselves
 Against Stealers of Bottles.
 At Concordia hall yesterday was held m interesting meeting of the bottlers of the state who assembled to enact laws which will protect them in regard to their bottles There has been a state association here but the rules have not been fully lived up to and as there IS state law governing state bot 4 tiers this new association will eauiD. themselves accordingly in order tol come within the provisions of the law. For some time it has been evident that many small bottIers throughout the state have been doing business without owning scarcely gross of bottles of their own. The larger bottlers who have been losing their bottles were powerless to prevent it because they had not complied with the require- ments of the state law. Now, however, this will ali be remedied for the meet ing yesterday so decided.
 There were T5 of the leading bottfers present and the sesson was called tho regular monthly meeting of the Connec- ticut State Association of Bottlers The leading bottlers of this city were in attendance and many speeches were made as to what should be done to pre- vent the stealing of their bottles. Present at the meeting were Secretary Schroder, Organizer Nolan and State Detective Brandt of the Nationar Bot tiers association of New York. Those gentlemen explained where the state bottlers could protect themselves and the one important point which was ne cessary was passed unanimously Here after all bottlers in the association will register their bottles with the secretary of state and when those bottles are con f1scated by other bottlers the confiscat- ors will come within the provision of the law and prosecution will follow Twenty-two new members joined the state association and the next meet ing will be held in New Britain on May 21

A DISHONEST" MAN.

Finds $5 Lost and Returns It Aftei
 Three Weeks Use.
 Hartford, April 24.-Three weeks ago A. Warwick, IT, sent one of his clerks to the Connecticut River bank with a good sized roll of money, including $5 in silver quarters. On the way to the bank the clerk in some way lost the S5 in silver and returned to tell MT Mar wick of the fact. For few days MT Warwick had hopes of seeing his money again, as his name was written plainly on the paper wrapped around it, but when two weeks went by without any signs of it he came to the conclusion that all Hartford was not honest.
 Last night Mir Warwick received queerly addressed envelope and on opening it he found new S5 bill. twen- ty-fve postage stamps of the 1-cent de nomination and short letter. The let ter was as follows: Found by dis honest man, a roll of silver quarters, containing s. near the Connecticut Riger bank and marked Warwick Drug Go. It was probably lost by clerk There was no signature or any explan- ation regarding the twenty-five 1-cent postage stamps. Mir Warwick thinks they were no doubt sent as interest for keeping the money for three weeks. Anyway he is well satisfied
