 The big steam shovel belonging to Fred T. Ley & Go. the contractors who are making the trolley extension on the Cheshire road, was removed this morn ing from the Naugatuck freight depot along the trolley road to the scene of operations, and the sight of the ponder ous machine was an object of much curiosity, everybody wondering what it was and wanting to know where it was going. Some joker fooled a lot of people by telling them that 1t was the apparatus for exploding the fireworks which are to blaze here Monday night, and as it headed out east those who heard this and believed it went around informing their friends that the ex- hibition was to take place in that part of the city.
 Tn the excitement incident to Fourth of July celebrations it would be well to bear in mind that the powder which will be used on that day is just as dan- gerous as ever, and young and old cannot be too careful about how they handle it. Already a few sad results have occurred in different parts of the state and it is hoped that when the day is over. in Waterbury nobody will have anything to weep over. The in discriminate use of firearms is a menace to life and limb in any com munity, for many become so enthusi- astic that they take little notice of where they aim their guns Some of the toy pistols and other devices put in the hands of children on the Fourth of July are treacherous things to fool with and parents and others who have charge of youngsters should keep a sharp lookout of their movements. The most innocent appearing frecracker in the market is capable of destroying ones eyesight, and if you want to make a patriot out of your boy and have him in readiness to defend the flag at moments notice he will make poor soldier without the use of his eyes.
