CAPITOL ILLUMIN ATED.
Exterior and Interior Lighted for First nr ot1siai itu

Exterior and Interior Lighted for First
 Time by Electricity.
 Hartford, Jan 1.-Several hundred people went to the Capitol last evening to see both the exterior and interior of the building lighted by electricity. The building was thrown open to the public from o'clock until 9:3O and during that time the senate and house cham bers, the library and the supreme court room were also open. The lights were turned on at o'clock and for twenty minutes the building was bathed in light. Then something happened. First the lights on the dome and in the east half of the exterior went out, and the others also soon failed to illumin- ate. The building became absolutely dark. An investigation showed that the four primary fuses, by which the current of 2,4OO volts was taken into the building, had failed to stand the strain upon them and had burned out. The Capitol employees at once procured candles and lanterns and the halls and corridors were given such light as these could afford. The Hartford Elec- tric Light Go was notified and in a half hour new fuses were installed and the lights were again turned on. In five minutes TWO or the new 1uSeS DurneQ out and were replaced with others Then for half an hour the illumination went on successfully, but again there was trouble with the fuses, This diff ficuaty was repaired and the people present were able to see how fine was the lighting of the building when ev- erything worked well.
 The scene inside the building when all of the lights were going at the same time was very beautiful The interior of the dome alone has more than 1000 lamps. There are 16O in each of the corridors, 200 in the house chamber, 150 in the senate chamber, seventy-fi in the supreme court room and 1SO in the library. ..
 Superintendent Rollins of the Hart ford Electric Light Go. who was at the Capitol last evening, said that the trou- ble was due to the fact that the fuses had not been tested before. It was the first time the full current had been turned on and the fuses were too small to sustain 1t. Larger and stronger fuses would be put into place, he said and there should be no further difficult ty.

SOUTH END SOCIAL CLUB.
Held Banquet and Dance at Their
 Rooms Last Night.

Held Banquet and Dance at Their
 Rooms Last Night.
 At their rooms on South Main street was held last evening the second an nual banquet of the South End, Social club. The rooms were handsomely decorated by Charters with the colors of the club and with banners of red, white and blue. while the presence of potted plants helped to convert the club room into an ideal banquet hall. The master of ceremonies, the toast master of the evening, was William, H. Lawlor, vice president of the club, who started the evenings entertain ment by calling upon Frank R. Cut ting, the president of the club, who III a clever speech expressed the welcome and extended the hospitality of the club to all the assembled guests.
 The principal speaker of the even ing was Frank P. Brett, to whom had fallen the honor of cutting the cake which is one of the features of the clubs banuuets. Mir Brett has rep utation throughout the state as an af- ter dinner speaker, but his remarks last evening were especially appropf1- ate and we'll timed. Mfr Brett re-
 
 marked that although he had never re- ceived lessons from Delmonico, still he knew how to cut cake and hoped that he would have the pleasure or performing the same office for many years to come After other members of the club had been called on for speeches Miss Katie Mulligan enter tained with vocal solos. Then A. Perigard, the we'll known tenor singer of the Brooklyn Athletic club, sang the we'll known ballad, ''In the Good Old Summer Time" Miss Hurley, George Mulligan and James Lyons also pleased with songs. Timothy J. Mori- arty gave a very pleasing recitation and Bernard F. Reid. the treasurer of the club, then recited the old time fa- vorite, 'Sheridan's Ride" Dancing was indulged in until the small hours of the morning, Clark's orchestra fur nishing the music.

 The hunters in Saybrook are very much excited over the fact that deer was killed there yesterday morning. AAC uoCI vas d 1dEge-SlZeQ doe, oV1- dently with young. John Francis. Il years old, and Edward Edwards IA years old, discovered the deer while they were out rabbiting. The animal was south of the reservoir of the water company. They discovered a trail of blood and after following it about 100 rods found the deer in a clump of bushes. It is supposed the man who killed the animal was preparing to skin it and carry his prize away when he heard the boys coming.
 , There was fatal coasting accident in Middletown about 6 o'clock last night, near Roger 8s Hubbard Co.'S fac tory. A large double ripper with about a dozen boys on 1t went down Trench hill. As it turned into Warwick street the boys saw a wagon in front of the factory office. As the electric light which should have been burning was out, they did not see the wagon till they were close upon it. To the right was 8 steep embankment. The steerer thought he could pass between the wagon and the bank on that side of the street. The road being covered with ice he lost control of the sled and struck the wagon sduarely. throwing out of 1t Heman c. Birdsey, whose neck was broken. Those on the ripper escaped uninjured. ...-.

Treatment for Club Foot Has Been Practiced by American Surgeons. New Haven, Jan 1.-In the opinion of many of the leading American sur geons there is nothing new in the meth ods of pr Lorenz, the Austrian surgeon who came to this country few weeks ago to treat a congenital dislocation for } little Letitia Armour, for which he re- ceived a fee of $30,000 and who has since exemplifed his work before clin- lies in New York and Boston.

 Dr Lorenz is a good surgeon said pr Bacon, "and particularly skilIful in the line of work that he came to this country to perform. but I do not con- sider that he is worthy of all the furor that has been made over him by the newspapers of the country or the con vulsions into which the New York Js7 I,g departure from (this country"
