Frank Ruff1eS has moved into Amos Camps house at Hawleyville.

There is grand gala holiday prom ised residents of this vicinity when Sig. Sautelle's Nine Consolidated Rail- road shows will give an afternoon and evening performance in Danbury, Tues day, May "A. In fact, all work and dull care will be forgotten by old and young alike while this enormous tent ed amusement is in Danbury. The magnitude of this great circus is al- most beyond conception and far beyond description. In planning for the cur rent season, MT Sautelle made certain that his shows would be second to none in all the world. At the very outset he combined his numerous exhibitions, retaining only the salient features of each, discarding threadbareS and se- curing hosts of the newest and most original attractions that money could procure. Every corner of the earth was searched for the rarest of animals, birds and reptiles for the large double menagerie; experienced trainers were kept at work all through the winter months breaking stock and educating different animals; contracts were ne- gotiated with the most fearless aerial istS, acrobats, tumblers, equestrians and other performers to be found at home and abroad-all this and much more was accOmpllShed Oy MT SauUelle within few brief months. In cOnse- quence he is now enjoying the fruits | of his endeavorS as his shows are being | royalty welcomed and most liberally patrQniZed wherever they exhibit. In providing amusement for their elders, | MT Sautelle has not forgotten the lit tie ones, special provision having been | made for their entertainment. Two full hours are consumed in the presen- tation of the high class program and during every minute of the time there are from two to a dozen acts either in the rings, on the elevated stages, in the wild west arena or on the vast hip. podrome or in the air. The festivities of .the day will be inaugurated with the magnificent free street display, which will leave the grounds promptly at 10 o'clock in the morning of the above day and date, for a tour of the principal streets of Danbury. With the return of the parade to the lot and again at 6.45 p. m. several out-of-dool exhibitions will be given absolutely free. The big performances will be-
 gin at and p. m., and as the mair doors will be opened one hour earlier
 ample opportunity will be afforded pa
 trons to make tour of the menagerie
 visit the equine fair and also to enjoy
 the 3O-minutes' promenade band con cert.

Secretary Shaw tells story to the effect that some years ago one of the charitable societies of Iowa sent a number of orphans out to his town for distribution among childless people.
 The distribution aroused much inter- est in the village, according to "The Buffalo Commercial. AS the orphans were being given to those who wanted to adopt children, little resident of the town ran up to her mother and said: "Oh, mamma, I wish you would take little orphan girl" "But, my dear" replied the mother.

TOWN TOPICS. BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM. CARPENTERS DEFEATED BY STREE
 YOUNG MEN.

4OUNd MEN.
 The hustling and doughty carpenters thought they could play ball, but when they came up against the hearty lads of Nektown Street they went down to sure and sad defeat by a score of 21 to '. Carlson and Carlson were the battery for the Street boys and were too fast for the carpenters. John Connors pitched for the carpenters, and was ably supported behind the bat by William Wemmerus. John Carl son did the heavy batting, landing a three e-bagger. John H. Blackman did the honors as umpire. The carpenters propose to put little sand on their hands and will tackle the Street boys again on May 21, when they hope for better luck. The teams were as fol lows: Carpenters, Wheeler, 1b; Con- nors, p; Wemmerus, c; Hendricks, ss; Crofut, If; Reilly, 3b; Bray, Of; Sagen- dorf, 2b; Nichols, If. Streets, Schuy Ter, 1b; Clark, If; J.

The people of Torrington were inex- pressibly shocked to learn, Sunday fore noon, of the untimely death of Miss Lena R. Blackman, one of the most popular and beloved young ladies of lake at shortly after s o'clock. Miss Blackman and a number of other young people, including her sister, were the guests of MT and Mrs John Maher at a house party being given at Highland lake, the party going up Saturday after noon and evening. Sunday morning, Miss Lena in company with Guy P. Beecher, one of the clerks at the COe Brass company's of this place, went out for short canoe trip. While up- on the lake the wind Sprang up, and the water became unusually rough
 MT Beecher, it is said, suggested land ing on the shore and walking back to the cottage, but the young lady said they were near enough to get back in safety. The violence of the waves in- creased, however, and the canoe was overturned. The waves at this time were so high that it was almost im- possible to swim, but MT Beecher worked gallantly and twice had the young lady on the bottom of the Over- turned boat. The last time, however, she became unconscious, and it was lInpOSSlDIc UO uOlu Her upOu Guc CduOe, and an unusually strong wave washed i both off. MT Beecher regained the canoe, but it was impossible to do more for Miss Blackman, whose heavy clothes soaked with water had carried her to the bottom of the lake, at a point where the water is fully 20 feet deep. MT Beecher drifted ashore on the canoe, and it was upon his appear

 the members of the party first learned

JUST HEAR THEM TALK.

Contrary to the prophecy of the ge- nial editor of THE VIEWPOINT BEE, no serious accidents occurred at the ball game on Saturday last. To be sure there were few mishaps, some broken fingers, a strained back, a bruised ankle, broken collar bone, fractured skull and torn trousers, but no one with any baseball ardor would consider such trifles. So, ye agents for the in- surance companies and doctors of the township, go out of business as far as we are concerned. We need none of your policies or liniments.1[A Player.
