WORK ON CROFT
. SCHOOL DELAYED

Work on the new Margaret Croft
school. which fs being erected on the
site of the old Elm school building, is
progressing very slowly. The work has
been delayed a number of times by
strikes, lack of material and other
causes; in fact, 1t has practically been
at standsti11. A member of the board
OF education said to-day that according
to the contract the building should be
completed before November /, but it
was his opinion that 1t would not be
ready for occupancy before January l.
He furthermore said that there is a
clause In the contract which states that
the contractor must forfeit a certain
sum of money every day after the time
limit until the building Is finished, but
there is also another provision which
makes this clause not binding In the
case Of strike. Tue strike occurred,
so there is no probability Of any forfeit
money being paid

TO-NIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
Republican Clans will Gather and
Lay Their Plans.

The members Of the republican town
and district committees spent the great
er part of to-day in the tonsorial rooms
and clothing stores, getting themselves
LII readiness for the meeting called for
tonight, at which plans will be laid to
hoodWink Waterbury electors at the
coming national election. A very in
teresting program has been prepared,
including half dozen sparring exhibit
lions, in which Judge Peasley and NJ.
&. Parkinson will be the principals,
with John Kellogg as referee. There
is said to be good deal of Indifference
among .-e rank and file of the party
and the leaders fear that considerable
difficulty will be experienced In getting
them into line. But it is safe to predict
that whatever kinks are found mere and
there will be smoothed out as soon as
the machine is set in motion, and when
the time to drop the white slips Of
paper In the ballot boxes comes around
many who have minds of their own at
this time and know that they owe it to
themselves aud their families to turn
the rascals out and put honest men at
the helm will have experienced q
change of heart and, come what will,
make the same blunder they have been
making right along, that is provided
they allow their own sense of right and
wrong to be pushed into the back
ground and continue the game OF follow
the leader When the pipe of peace Is
being passed around the old liners
would make no mistake In keeping
watch upon the movements of some
parties who will be present and would
not ask better sport than putting
enough powder into the weed to blow
their heads OFF.

Will1mantic, July 8.-TWo safes. the
most important ones to the business In
rerests of the community, refused to
respond to the turns of their lock COM
b1nat1ons yesterday morning, and 1t re-
CURED the services of an expert from
Boston to open them.
When the clerks or the Windham
National bank closed the bank Wednes-
day night the time lock to the new
vault was set to open after o'clock,
but when they went to open 1t next
morning 1t stayed tight shut in spite
of all their efforts, and there were all
kinds of cOnjectures as to the probable
cause Of the trouble.
To make the matter still more inter-
esting. as well as aggrayatfng, yester-
day was pay day at the American
Thread Cos works and the funds with
which TO pay the help were locked up
in the banks vault. 1t was decided
that the situation required strenuous
measures and an expert from Boston
was telegraphed for.
While they were waiting for the ex-
pert, DIR White was called in and asked
to determine lie possible. by the use OF
the stethoscope, If the clock machinery

from the interior OF the safe, but it
was not pronounced enough to be as

The expert Arrived In the afternoon
and, after making an examination OF
the safe, decided that all that 1t needed
was good humping.
Ho secured the assistance OF a num-
Der OF Foley @ Henry's truckmen and
with kdg stick Of timber commenced
to thump the sides of the safe, and 1t
very soon yielded to their persuasive in

When Postmaster Dimmick went to
open the big safe in the postof1ce yes
terday morning, that also refused to
answer to the turn of the combination
and he was compelled to send to South
Windham for stamps with which to do
business and to go without a number
OF other supplies In daily use in the
office. It was imperative that the safe
be opened as soon as possible and an
expert was sent for, but when he ar
rived the safe baf1ed his work as COM
paetely as It did that of the postoffice
employees. Finally he was obliged to
break the lock, when 1t was found that
a broken pin had got into the lock and,

Largest Steamer in the World Now in
New York Harhor.


New York, July 8.-The new White
Star line steamer Baltic. from Liver
pool, June 20, and Queenstown, 30,
arrived here to-day and docked at 8
a. m. The Baltic was built at Bel
fast and was launched November q,
1903. She is the largest steamer in
the world. being 726 feet long. IS feet
beam, 40 feet deep, and having a net
register OF $4,000 tons. She has a
cargo carrying capacity of about 49,
600 tons and displacement of load
draft of about 10000 tons, and is
equipped with four pole masts and
two tunnels.
The engines are of the quadruple
expansion type and are capable of Civ
Ing speed to the vessel OF about II
knots an hour. They are SO arranged
as to practically do away with vlbra-
ton.
There are four decks upon which
passengers may roam, a grand dining
saloon being situated on the upper
deck and extending the full width of
the ship.
Accommodations are provided for
5000 passengers, the first class being
situated amidships Just abaft the
hrst class department Is that of the

the exception of a limited space for

The Baltic is commanded by Lieu

The Battles first voyage occupied
seven days, thirteen hours and seven
minutes, or an average speed Of SIX
teen knots per hour The new steam
er although the largest In the world,
made the trip without a hitch of any
character. In appearance the Baltic
is similar to the Cedric and other yes
sells Of that class and in spite Of her
enormous dimensions could not be dis
tinguished from them.
