ATE DINNER ON CURB
Travelling Musicians Had Quite =
Spread ON Grand Street.

A travelling band, propelled by q
horse In charge of man and a wo-
man, struck Waterbury yesterday and
did q big business through the differ
ent streets. They played almost every
tune one could think of, from Yankee
Doodle to 1.-THE Wearing of the
Green" and the music was so insplr-
Ing people forgot themselves and were
seen shaking their feet on the side
walks. After they had made the
rounds of the principal streets they
pitched their tent In a shady spot ON.
Grand street opposite the Democrat
Office and had dinner. using the curb
stone for chairs and the sidewalk for
able. They had a very nice spread,
too, including bologna. pretzels. Lm-
burger cheese, mustard, q handsome
home made cake and several other
things, and best Of all an appetite that
enabled them to do Justice to the
menu. The horse stood near by and
had a good feed of oats from a bag
that hung on dts head. After the
fragments were picked up and put
AWAY in the cart, the man and woman
chatted on the curbstone for. half an
hour or so and appeared as happy as
If they had been dining at Delmonico's.
Before starting out for the afternoon
the man changed the records and the
woman counted the forenoon's re-
ceipts. which must have been consid-
cradle considering the lapfull OF pen
nies she passed from one hand to an
other and then dropped into d wallet.
The incident showed how easily some
folks can turn AN honest penny and
how happy they can make themselves
without bothering the hotels or livery
stables

st Petersburg, July 13, 1892 p. NJ
The admiralty believes that Rear Ad-
miral Withoft's squadron Is rendering
effective aid in the defense of Port
Arthur. by going out and shelling the
Japanese who are constructing bat
teries near the eastern approaches of
the fortress. The expedition Of Satur-
day is believed to have been of this
nature. The bringing up OF siege
guns to an effective range can thus be
materially retarded. This probably is
the reason the squadron has not vet
left Port Arthur and it is not likely
to do 80 unless the fall OF the fortress
become inevitable.
The admiralty considers that the
naval situation has greatly improved
and sees evidence Of the Japanese
fleets showing signs Of exhaustion.
The officials here think that Admiral
Togo, with the knowledge that he will
have to fight without the cooperation
of the army in storming Port Arthur,
has become extremely cautious about
risking his ships and that at present
he will only undertake operations Of
secondary Importance. like a pursuit
of the Vladivostok squadron and CO.
operation with land forces at New
Chwang
A special dispatch from Ia Tche
Kiao says the Japanese lost heavily
while crossing the river at Kai Chou.
According to special telegram
from Limo Yang the Russian scouts
have discovered further japanese de-
tachments In the valley of the Tai
Tse river, on the road to Mukden.
I The correspondent thinks the Japan
ese in that vicinity intend to direct
the operations Of the Chinese bandits,
who are concentrating in the sur
rounding valleys for the purpose Of
razing the railroad and blowing mp
bridges.

The Court Says Liability Act is Void
In the Circuit Court here few days ago Judges
Fowler and Burke declared Chapter 100. Acts
of 1902, known as the Employers Liability act,
to be unconstitutional. The action was taken
in the case of Norris against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The point was raised by de-
murrer to declaration filed by Messrs. Boar
man & Lindsay to recover damages received
for an injury resulting from the negligence of
a coemploys. Major John /. Yellott, counsel
for the Railroad Company, took the ground
that the act was unconstitutional for several
reasons, one being that the title did not disclose
such legislation as is embraced within the first
section.
