NAUGATUCK NUGGETS
Secretary Lindsley to Come to Investi-
 gate Scarlet Fever Cases.


 The k. of c. ball at Columbus hall this evening. The hall has been tasti- ly and prettily decorated by the New Haven Decorating Co and presents a handsome appearance. .....
 Two men became involved in a quarrel on Main street yesterday af- ternoon and as a result one is confined to his home with badly smashed head and otherwise injured. It seems one of the men is a carpenter and was at work in a shop, and the other man was laborer with nothing else to do it seems but throw water on the car penter and his tools. The carpenter became enraged at his conduct and hit him over the head with a saw with the sad result as noted above.

 A good time was enjoyed by the members of Laurel temple, R. s., after their meeting last evening. Dancing, for which excellent music. was fur nished by TerrilPs orchestra, and re- treatments were the principal features of the entertainment.
 Secretary Lindsley of the state board of health is expected here tomorrow to confer with Health Officer Smith of this town in regard to the scarlet fever situation. Scarlet fever cases are too numerous in Naugatuck and some way should be found in order that the epidemic may be stopped short. .e.
 There is a person residing in this borough who does not hold the strik- ing motormep and conductors of the c. R. & l.. Co in very high esteem. Monday the person in question hoasted that ride on the cars he would if he cared to, and he did. Now it is re- ported he has to send q neighbor's s child to the store whenever he wants anything, for when he goes himself he is told his trade is not wanted. A cer- tain merchant was asked if there was any truth in the foregoing and he re- piled that 1t was about time all that kind of bosh was silenced, but he did admit, however, that they are a little afraid to sell goods to people who ride on the cars.

ATifin, (O.) man says he is a human barometer, and that he can tell what kind of weather is coming 24 hours in advance. John w. Barrack, an old citizen and at one time treasurer of Seneca county, is the man. He has very heavy black eyebrows, and says that the direction in which the ends of his eyebrows point is an accurate guide to the coming weather. If the weather is to be cold the ends point upward; if warm, upward. MT. Bar. rack says he has followed this eye brow. barometer for many years and has never been fooled.

Treaty With Colombia Signed . ,--< at Washington. .. ..
II NOW GOES TO THE SENATE.
Long Delay Had Led to Reports That the Route Had Been Aban- doned-DIRerences Satis-
 factorily Adjusted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The treaty between the United States and Colom- bia for the construction of the Panama canal by the United States has been signed in this city.
 The canal treaty was signed at Sec retary Hays house, MT. Hay acting for the United States and Dr.. Herran, the charge d'affaires of Colombia, who had been specially given full powers to ne- gotiate the treaty, signing in behalf of Colombia. The treaty will have to go to the senate for ratification.
 No details of the signature of the treaty are obtainable, but at the pres idential reception at the White House last night the news that the treaty be-. tween the two countries at last was an accomplished fact leaked out and later was confirmed authoritatively on in- quiry in official quarters.
 Fears had been entertained until this week that Colombia might not be will ing to accede to the wishes of the Unit ed States in the matter and that re- course to the Nicaraguan canal project might be forced on the government of the United States. But this week events took a morS favorable turn, and Colombia transmitted instructions and authority to Dr. Herran, its representa- tive in the United States, that made possible a conclusion of the long pend- ing negotiations. / ....
 The principal obstacle for some time to the conclusion of the treaty, it is un- derstood, has been the price that the United States was to pay in the shape of cash payment and by way of an- nual rental for the strip of territory along each side of the canal right of way. Some time ago there was a hitch over the question of the extent to which control by the United States over this strip of land should go, Co- lombia objecting on the ground that the provisions requested in the treaty by the United Stata~ would mean re- linquishment of sovereignty by Colom- bia over part of her territory, but this matter was amicably adjusted, as was difference as to the lifetime of the lease of the strip of land in question, the final result being practical ces- sion in perpetuity of the strip to the United States for canal purposes and incidental police control and protection of the canal right of way.

AamoEDheric Sewerage,

Tn an address before the sanitary congress at Manchester, England, Dr. W. N. Shaw made the highly iDter- esting suggestion that it may be practicable to remove the smoke of great cities in manner somewhat resembling that in which their sew age is disposed of. He calculated that about 100000 tons of smoky air would have to be removed from Lon- dan every day ia order to kcer it's atmosphere clean. It takes 100000 tons of wax- Q day to carry off the sewage london. Five hundred electricy .y-driven fans, each deliver ing 20IJo cubic feet of air per min uteI >uld carry off all the household sY { of London.
