NUTMEG CARVINGS
I resting Items Rolled Down For
 ihe Benefit of our Easy Rsadses.

Word was received in Winsted to- day that the large barn, the property of Stephen Cutler Of Lithgow, just over the state line in New York, was destroyed by fire early to-day, causing loss of $2,500. The loss is partially covered by insurance Origin Of the fire is unknown.
 Mrs Mary YutzIer, wife of Fred Yutzler, a well t0 do citizen of West Cornwall, was instantly killed to-day by being struck by the south-bound passenger train which leaves Canaan at 8:22 q. m. Mrs Yutzler had intend ed to call upon friend and in going to her home had to cross the tracks Of the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. It is thought probable that she did not hear the train. She was AS years old and leaves a family. { The residents of New Canaan are alarmed dSer what appears to be an epidemic of typhoid fever, which has appeared within the last week. Four teen persons are down with the fever, some of whom are in a local hotel. Dr Smith of New Haven, representing the state board of health, is in town mak- ing an examination as to the origin of the disease. It is thought likely that it is in the drinking water and all per sons have been cautioned to purify the water before drinking. As yet no death has occurred.

MISSED BAD WRECK.
Empire State Express Hit Freight Train at Albany.

Umpire state Express H1t Ere1&nt Train at Albany.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 15.-The Elm pire State express train on the New York Central missed serious wreck in the Rensselaer, yards, across the river from here, last night, largely be- cause she was not yet under full speed in her journey to New York. As it was, one man, fireman, was killed, one engineer slightly injured, and two locomotives were badly wrecked.
 The Empire State, just out of Al bany at D. nl., collided with a light engine which was standing on the main line track. A. w. Parsons of Peeksl1ill, fireman of the light engine, was almost instantly killed, and Engi- neer Collard of Albany was slightly injured. No one on the express train was hurt, but her engine was badly damaged and derailed.
 After delay of more than an hour another engine was secured, and the Empire State proceeded to New York.
 It is said the accident was due to a towerman's error in passing one of two light engines from Tthe main line into the roundhouse andtinadvertently lock ing out the other until too late to pass her out of the way iof the express.

VERY CLEVER SCHEME.
Insurance on City Property Dissribut.
 ed in Peculiar Manner.

Considerable dissatisfaction exists among some of the local insurance men, who feel that discrimination ia made against the democrats so that the other fellows are getting about all there is in it. Under democratic rule the custom was to divide up the insurance regardless of politics The following is copy of letter sent out by D. H. Tierney to the Commercial Union, the Indemnity of New York and the New London County Mutuas explaining the situation:
 Waterbury, Conn, Oct IA. 1904. Commercial Union Fire Insurance Co
 New York City:
 Gentlemen: 1 have learned to-day from the chairman of the insurance committee (which made the plot that hereafter said city is to give the in- surance of their schools and other pub- lie buildings only to agents who rep resent companies which in their re- port for 1904 had a net surplus of S25O,0OO. The chairman informed me further that sixty-four companies are to have the entire insurance of the city, to be, divided as follows: Eight thousand four hundred and ninety-fye dollars is to be credited to each com pany. If one agent should hold fif- teen-sixteenths of this class of com. panies he would get all the insurance on the city property except one-six- teenth part You will infer by this that we have one of your New York republican reform governments in the | city of Waterbury at present, and am one of those despised democrats, and yet it is my opinion that indi- Vidually pay personal tax to the city of Waterbury equal to the sum paid by threesquarters of the agents col letcively who are booked foI this in- surance, yet according to this rule am cut off from holding any insurance on the city property, notwithstanding that we have heretofore cheerfuIly paid all city losses assessed against l us, and each of the companies I rep resent have net surplus of two hun dred thousand dollars to their credit, and have always paid their losses ! without question, including the great fires of Waterbury and Baltimore If you have any advice or sugges- tions to make shall be pleased to re- ceive them. Very respectfully,
 D. H TIERNEY.

Strong Protest Will Likely Go to St.
 Petersburg.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-It has de veloped that a pouch containing mail for the United States cruiser Cincin- nati, then at Nagasaki, Japan, which was aboard the British steamer Gal chas when that vessel was seized by the Russian Vladivostok squadron, had been opened while in the possession of the Russian officials, subsequently re sealed and sent on to its destination. This information came to the postoffice department in communication from the Japanese postal administration. The matter will be referred to the state department for action.
 This latest phase of the seizure of the Calchas' mails has caused a pain full surprise in official circles, and if the act of opening the pouch addressed to the Cincinnati was wittingIy done the probability is a strong protest will be lodged with the Russian government

AT SHORT CALENDAR.
An Old Time Case Stricken from the
 Docke1

Judge Cowell and very old friend parted company at short calendar this morning when the case of Cordelia C. O'Neill against the City Coal & Lum- Der Go was dismissed from the docket of the city court, after having been there comfortably for six or seven years. Since then, the case has been on short calendar every Saturday morning in a thousand different forms and motions
 The motion to dismiss the case has been before the court two weeks. 1t was made by the defendants counsel Attorney Bronson. Attorney O'Neill, counsel for the plaintiff, stated that he would not consent to it's being dismissed, yet he had no objection, because he did not care either way as he intended taking it to the supreme court
 "Well, I dislike to part with an old friend" remarked Judge Cowell as he ordered the case taken off the docket. Loren R. Carter was appointed re- ceiyer to collect rents ill the foreclos- ure proceedings of Edward s. Boyd against Mary Lachance. Mir Carter's bond is $500.
 Attorney Byrne and Judge Peasley had another round when their old contention was called. The matter will be called Wednesday by an out of town judge or Judge Burpee. At torney Byrne claims that Judge Peas ley is endeavoring to make him pay lien which has been on A. B. Simons' s property in Simonsville some time.
 Judgment in the case of the City against M. H. Navin was ordered re- opened, and the matter will be heard again next Friday.
 Foreclosure 1vas granted Georgie M. Brinck against William B. Martin for $1,24O. Law days begin Decem- Der 20.

POPULAR EXCURSION
 TO THE HUB"

The excursion to the Hub next Wednesday bids fair to equal the previous trip, when the special train was sold to it's capacity long in ad- vance. The fast and exclusive special train service, of first class equipment, the extremely low hates and the strictly limiting of the sale of tickets Co the trains capacity, at once feat ures these popular excursions to Bos- ten, and this is particularly true of the trip on October 19.

say that canvas, hopsacks and rather
hard makes Of alpaca will be used.
These harsh materials form q direct
contrast TO the clinging crepon de
sole, and crepe de chene which are
more than ever to the fore for recep-
ton frocks and afternoon toilettes.
Coarse alpacas and rough canvasses
are excellent for hard wear. and wolfe,
too, of q substantial make will be used
for the new kind Of plating, killing,
etc.
Canvasses bid fair to take the place
of the regulation serges, and they
really are admirable for the bolero and
skirts for every day wear. l think they
are better when made up into the full,
plated skirts than when used plain,
for here they show directly any pulling
Or rubbing. But closely killed or
plated with a bolero style. Of coat 70
match, and worn with neat shirt, the
canvas toilette becomes feature Of
the spring.
We must not forget the smartest OF
all the tailor confections are mostly in
ivory, and champagne colored cloths,
and gray-a rather dark, slate-gray-
has its usual share Of popularity for
the Lenten season.
Bright shades of electric and peri
kinkle blue arc giving place to the
more subdued navy-always the best
tone for the orthodox coat and skirt
Brown, navy blue and scarlet form the
three shades for the Viennese tailor
made, which is quite simply fashioned,
and not worn with violently contrast
ing colors, white being the only per-
Missile mixture, with q touch Of gold
and silver.
