A torrent of water fell during the shower of Monday afternoon. Con- siderable damage to the highways was done. Some of the streets were flooded with water. Greenwood avenue was a small lake. The outlets to the drains were clogged. Passengers on the trol- ley, who live on the street were put to considerable inconvenience to get from the car to the sidewalks. Unless some improvement is made on the drainage of the street the name of the street should be changed back to Old Lane or Mud Alley of 50 years ago.

A DESERVED PROMOTION


 The friends, as we'll as the aged pleased to hear of his recent promotion in his business. He has spent most of his time since childhood on the farm at the old homestead in this town, and upon attaining manhood he met and married the only daughter of Hon
 Daniel w. Edwards. Three years
 were then spent in the milk business,
 but some way the work did not fit him.
 He wanted to be where he could see
 more and do more of the worlds busi-
 ness than such field afforded. He sold out and started to Derby in pur- suit of business. Upon arriving at
 the office of the Metropolitan Life h. surance Co:, they were favorably i'm pressed. He has trim and we'll kept appearance, with features that indi-
 cate unmistakable decision and firm ness and the bearing of gentleman. With these characteristics, that have marked him through life, he was at once taken in and started as agent. and after few months became the leading agent of the districts of New Haven and Derby, on ordinary and fn-
 termediate business. His marked adaptability to the business soon dis played itself, and he rose steadily buTOuSu Uuc kTdueS UO HIS pTeSeuI pO- sition as superintendent, where he is without superior in the service.
 The employees of the company greatly
 respect him as man we'll equipped for his. office. He took his desk, Mon day morning. The thoroughness and prOmptness that characterizes him is imparted to his subordinates and per vadeS his department. We wish him success. Human nature fnstinctively
 respects men who, confident of their ground, go straight on with what they regard as duty. It is hoped that MT Sharpe will prove worthy of every
 trust reposed in him.1*
