KILLED BY TRAIN.

Waterbury, Feb. 1.-Eugene Martin
was struck and killed by an engine,
near the Harvey Henry place north of
Waterbury. Saturday night. He was
dragged on the COW catcher for nearly
quarter of mile and when found
near the track the body was mangled
almost beyond recognition. Martin
was walking to his home and was
facing the engine probably when it
struck hiH. The trainmen knew
nothing of the accident until they
reached Roxbury when the fireman
noticed some blood on the cowcatcher.
He notified the engineer on the morn
ing express and when they arrived in
Waterbury search was rewarded by
finding the body near John King S
place. He was about twenty-eight
years of age, unmarried, and employed
by Randall and Roberts He is sur
vived by father, mother, three BROTH
ers and three sisters. The funeral will
be held on Tuesday.

THE Pa RISH SUPPER.

The annual parish supper of the
Church of the Messiah, held Wednes-
day, was great success. For an hour
and half every table in the vestry
was filed with friends Of the society
and everybody was filled with the
good things provided. Everything
was in charge of the men of the parish
and the ladies all admitted that there
was nothing lacking. Mirth and jollity
reigned at and around the board while
Wilder's orchestra furnished delight
full music during the time. The main
object of the supper was to get togeth-
or the people who call the Church of
the Messiah their church and get them
in closer touch with one another.
During the evening opportunity was
given for those to join the parish or
ganization who had not already done

FOR SCHOOL SANITATION

Hon. Walter E. Ranger is sending
out circular letters to health
officers in the State, in regard to the
enforcement of the sanitary laws for
schools. According to No. 102, Acts
of 1896, the local health boards shall
report the sanitary conditions of the
schools to the voters at the March
meetings. The fact that in only 90
out Of 246 towns and cities were
reports made in 1903 seems to
be evidence that further enforce
ment is needed. The circular states
that proper sanitation is the prime
condition of good school education.
If &C health is the first wealth. and
if the breath of the children is the
health of the nation then there is no
surer and better way to improve our
schools than to remedy unsanitary
conditions wherever they may exist.

SURPRISED TRACY.

More than sixty of the friends of
Frank III. Tracy called on HIM unex.
pectedly Wenesday evening at his home
on Berlin street. They failed to find
him, however, until they had tele-
phoned down street, for other friends
had detained him on pressing business
and had not allowed him chance to
go home until word was received that
the coast was clear. The fun had be-
gun before Mr.. Tracy arrived and his
looks of astonishment helped to keep
it moving Gard tables were put in
use and progressive whist, pit, and
pedro held sway while gramophone
filled in every lull in the amusemeuts.
Several vocal solos were rendered by
Walter s. Goss in response to calls
from the company. After refresh
ments were served, the party broke
up and wishing Mr.. Tracy all good
luck the visitors returned to their
homes late in the evening.

X. G. TEAM WINS.

The last series of games in the crib
barge tournament. with the exception
of postponed game between the For
esters and Company H which will be
played this week, were played on Tues
day evening The Knights of Colum-
bus defeated the Company II, team
by l42 points the winning team making
1884 and the losing team 5,722. The
Foresters defeated the Apollo Club
team by SO points the former team
making 1886 and the latter 5, 843. The
Knights of Columbus have succeeded
in winning eleven out of twelve games
played and now stand at 20, 813 points,
the winners of the tournament for the
second year. The Apollo Club comes
second with total score of 70. 090
points and they will hold this place
after their last game with the Forest
ers as it will be impossible for the
Foresters, if they work perfect score,
to have chance for second place.
During the tournament two perfect
scores of 6, 200 points have been made
one by the Knights of Columbus and
the other by the Apollo Club. 1t is
probable that in the near future the
two teams standing at the head will
play each other for the suppers and the
two teams which stand at the foot
will do likewise. The cup now held
by the Knights of Columbus will
therefore remain in their possession
for another year.
The score of the teams is as follows
Knights of Columbus, 70,Sl3
Apollo Club, 10000
Company II, 63, 931
: Foresters, 636, 46
