PASSING OF THE DISMAL SWAMP

Progress Is an iconoclast and obliter- ates "old landmarks" without mercy. The Dismal swamp of Virginia is one of our natural curiosities, and the lake 0f the Dismal swamp has been the subject of song. But the water from the lake has been largely drawn off for commercial purposes, and now we are told that the Ohio capitalists and farmers who recently ~rrchased 10000 acres of land in the heart of the swamp are rapidly cutting the timbers away and draining the lands and put Dismal swamp is doomed. It will not be many more years before the mo- rass, which from time immeqnorial has been the home of bear and deer and other wild animals, will be the home of prosperous settlers. We old fogies necessarily feel a sense of sorrow in the passing of the Dismal swamp
 But there is no sentiment in progress

WATERFOWL JOTTINGS

 Church Yesterday.

Church Yesterday.
 One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place at the M. E. church yesterday afternoon when Eliza Leota Treuren of Watertown and Albert J. Wigglesworth of Naugatuck were Joined in marriage by the Rev W. w. Winaons The wedding procession started promptly at 3 o'clock, led by the ushers, Jesse Howell, James Treu- ren, Edwin Adams and Jesse Hudson, followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Jennie Treuren, the bride and her father, George Treuren The best man was Robert May. The wedding march was beautifully rendered by Leon A. French of Naugatuck. Ar ter the ceremony the bride and groom were rendered a reception at the home of the bride, where the happy couple were the recipients of many useful presents The bride and groom left last evening for a tour of the states of Pennsylvania and New York and on their return they, will reside on Cor man street, Naugatuck S.S ..s 7.
 For the second time this season Manager Keilty's semi-professional baseball team went to Litchheld to try conclusions with the strong nine at that place yesterday. The first game, it will be remembered, was, on account of the crippled condition of the local team, very one-sided af- fair the Litclfelds having everything their own way The game yesterday, however, differed only in the fact that the balance of power lay with the lo- cal team Litchfelds hopes were lighted up in the first inning when they blanked the local boys and scored two runs in their turn at bat. However, in the second and succeed ing innings, Watertown scored almost at will and when the last man had flied out in the ninth inning Water town had made a total of 9 to 2 for Litchield. The features of the game were the pitching of Allen and the brilliant fielding of all the other mem ibers of the local team. The score:

THE MODERN STEAMER GOWN.
 Trim, Neat and Smart-What Not to Wear.

Trim, Neat and Smart-What Not to Wear.
 Never has the importance of suit able and comfortable steamer outfit been 50 forcibly borne in upon me, and never have witnessed the display of such lack of Judgment in selecting it, as among the inexperienced of my sis- ter voyagers on my last weeks trip across the Atlantic. .-..
 If you have not yet encountered the atmospheric conditions imposed by ocean travel and contemplate a trip Europeward, pray profit by her mis- takes. In these times when there is such an embarrassment of riches in materials and models for all climates, all condi- tions, all modes of fife, to be unsuit+ ably dressed at sea is more than 9 misdemeanor--it should rank as a 1 crime. Absence of dress allowance cannot be offered as an excuse, for simplicity is within the reach of all. | 1t is, of course, usual for women to wear pretty land costumes of more or less fancifulness when boarding the steamer. but do not think of wear a long gown after the first meal, with tuffles and fiounces for the wind to blow about, gather dampness and dis coloration about the hem, and expeM- ence the modification qe appearing in woe-begone attire, made conspicuous by the trim costume of the up-to-date girl accustomed to travel
 Neither is it necessary to choose a gown suitable only for shipboard year, for, though sailor touches are some times seen, anything beyond just hint at sailor costunling is not good form in these days when travel has become too every day an event to be treated too consciously.
 It is quite possible, by the exercise ' of good Judgment. to compromise and avoid both mistakes. Skirts that act ually clear the ground by at least two i inches all around are without doubt the most serviceable for shipboard wear, and made by good tailor, of suitable quality of serge, homespun or preferably cravenette, which the salt laden air does not affect, can be put in excellent condition after the voyage

 CONSTANTINoPLE, Sept. 3.-Three explosions occurred on the Austrian steamer Vaskapu soon after she had left the Bulgarian port of Burgas CD route for ConstantinoDle, by which the captain, some of the officers. six of the crew and several passengers, total oi twenty-nine, perished. The Vaskapu sailed from Varna, Bulgaria, and after calling Ut Burgas was steamina through the Black sen to Constantine pie when three explosions took place on board. The vessel took fire, and she had to be Fun ashore at Misivria bay. eighteen miles north of Burgas, where she is still burning. g.
 A telegram conveying this news was received by the agent here of the Hun garian Levant hne, to which the Vas kapu belonged. The telegram said the Vaskapu had been destroyed in the Black sea.
 It is the general opinion here that the destruction of the steamer Vaskapu was the work of the Bulgarian revolu- tionaries.
 2the vaskapu belonged to the Hunga. rian Levant Steamship company of Fiume, Austria, and had been engaged in the Black sea service.
 The Turkish foreign office here has just issued a note to- the foreign embassies and legations informing them that, according to police infor- nation, the Bulgarian agitators are projecting outrages against the embas- sies, legations and other public build ings in Constantinople The note says the Ottoman government has taken precautions and requests the heads of the foreign missions to do likewise.
 The insurgents, it is reported, have captured the seaport Of Ahtaboly, near Vasiliko, on the Black sea. and the Turkish population has fled. The in- surgents have organized a local gov ernment at the captured seaport and are giving ships their clearing papers and sanitary certificates.
 A report from Belgrade says that a portion of the town of Adrianople has been blown up and that the other part is burning.
 According to reliable reports from Monastir, thousands of Bulgarians in that vflayet are confronted with fam. inc in addition to Turkish persecution Peasants who are continually arriving from MonastiF complain of the attitude of fIilmi pasha.
 According to adyices, Colonel Jan, koff, the insurgent leader, who, with q strong following, is operating south ward Of Demotyka. has been intrusted with the task of destroying the larger bridges of the railroad running from Dedeagatch, on the south coast, to Kh- leli Burgas, south of Adrianople, over the Maritza and Arda rivers. so as to cut off communication with Adrianople from the south and delay the troops who are on their way to the threatened city.

state is invoked in his behalf, which

The crime of which Mcknight was
accused was of a most revolving ma

The evidence against him was furn.

her bedside the details of the assaults
and these as dying declarations were
admitted in evidence.
In the appeal the defense made a

Richards Not Short With Graves Es-
tate, According to Son-in-Law.
Des Moines, Jan. 26.-Ed. Davis,
son-in-law of w. A. Richards, former
deputy United States marshal, who is
charged with completely in the rob-
berry of the Sgllivans at Hamilton,
claims that Richards is not short in
his accounts to the estate of his faith
er-in-law, in spite of the fact the re-
ports filed show over $4,000 received
and but $4,000 paid out on order of
the court.
Davis is employed by one express
companies in Des Moines. He says
that Richards has settled with the
heirs of the Graves estate. He says
that he aided him in the work and
drew the. checks for him. and that
these were cashed through the Citi-
zens' National bank, and that all of
the heirs are satisfied. He says there
is but one unpaid claim against the
estate, that of J. d. G. Mcfarland, who
wants $3.50 for monument. He says
that Richards told him he intended to
pay this, but would not pay 1t until he
had to, giving as an excuse that Nc
Farland had been mean and that he
proposed to make him sweat for his
money"
Confirmation of Davis statement
was not obtainable at the bank or
from other sources. Attorneys who
havve been investigating the case say,
however, mat the discrepancy is
greater than claimed by Davis, and
that there is a shortage shown so far
of something over $4,000. None of
them would admit that they knew Of
funds deposited by Richards that
could be attached to settle the claims
