 Hundreds of tons of earth. dislodg- ed from high and steep embankment which overshadows Central street in Ansonia formed a huge landslide Thursday afternoon and without a moments notice went down with a rush, carrying all before it. Men at work on big retaining wall were forced to flee for their lives, and drop ping everything, jumped headlong from the places where they were working.

Green Slit of Hampton was present and Fred nupree, Charles Phoenix. Fred Rich ard. 7 Dion, Charles Johnson, George St Germin and A. Labeau. who were charged with keeping a place where it is reputed that that intoxicating li- uuor is sold. For some time past ''maltum perfection said to be better than beer has been sold to thirsty na- tjves who said that Thompson didn't need liquor license as the above bev- craze hit the spot. So maltum per fectum was put fn by some of the grocervmen and others took hold of it as it was proving a mighty good seller as well as money maker All would have gone well for some time if deacon of one of the town church es hadn't got thirsty and absorbed Il considerable quantity, which made him feel thirty years younger and cut up antics of the devil. Tnvesti- gation proved that the beverage was too strong. according to the law, and the above named persons were charg- ed with reputation only. this being the first offense. and each was fined S10 and costs, amounting to $25.

DEMOCRATS PREPARING.
Committee Held First Meeting Last
 Evening and Discussed Outlook

The democratic town committee held a meeting oil Canal street last night and manufactured some ammu- milton for the fall campaign. Chair man Burns presided. 1t was a very harmonious session, the different members reporting things in very sat- isfactory shape in all parts of the town. A canvass is being conducted and every possible effort made to get the lists in better condition than ever before. So far as the members of the committee have been able to learn no dissension exists in the party and the indications are favorable for con- certed action at the coming elections. The nomination of Parker and Davis as the national standard bearers were warmly endorsed and the opinion freely expressed that they will carry Waterbury by a handsome majority and win out in enough other places to give them the state. 1t is too soon yet for rallies, but the committee has plans under way which will give the electors of Waterbury an opportunity to hear some of the best campaign ora tors in the country. The committee will not take sides in the race for nominations to the senate and house Of representative believing that this is matter to be settled by the duly elected delegates to the conventions. After the conventions have met and named their men then the committee will step in and do their best to elect them. This is wise legislation and cannot but prove that the committee is bound to bring about better feel ing among democrats and with such condition of things all around there can be no doubt of the result.

ALI, ABOARD
For COnsy Island to See the Elephant
 Shoot the Chutes.

Ahe above may seem a rather stranoA spectacle to some people, but naver- Ineless 1t is one Of the many sf1.anpa and novel sights that person runs across on visit to this popular sum- mer resort.
 All those who intend to accompany St Joseph's T. A. society on the annual excursion to New York and ConeI 1stand, Saturday, August 6. will have an opportunity to see this wonderful sight. II
 Judging by the advance sale of flick. cts there is no doubt but what a very large crowd of people intend to par ticipate in the festivities of this dav. Conducted in such manner as to at- tract nothing but the most favorable comment, it is no wonder that the peo pie vote it to be the most popular ex- cIrsion that leaves the Naugatuek val ley.
 The first train leaves this city at 6 a. n. and the second shortly after. The third train, which makes up at .Ansonia for the accommodation of the Ansonia and Derby people, leaves about a. m. Arriving at Bridgeport the excursion ists will embark on the Iron Steamboat Co.'S most popular boat, the Sirius. after which all on board will enjoy one of the most pleasant of sails, a trip through Long Island sound, passing many new and historical points Of in- terest, amongst which are Randalls $ Island. Wards Island, Blackwell's Island, the new East river Bridge, Brooklyn bridge and many other sights in New York harbor that are worth while seeing. Arriving at Thirty-first street the boat will stop in order that those who desire may visit New York and other nearby places. For those people who have no place in particular to go to visit to any of the following places will prove to be an interesting one: Central park, Metropolitan mu- scum of aTt. museum of natural his tory, both of which are in the park, Aquarium or old Castle Garden, In the Battery. St Patrfcks cathedral, Grant s tomb, the famous Rowery. statue of Liberty which structure a person can visit and go to the top. enabling him to get birdseye view of New York. as we'll as the ocean with it's many nearby resorts. It would take too much space to describe the points of interest in Coney Island. sufficient to say it must be seen to be appreciated. and once seen 1t is never forgotten.
 Tickets may be purchased from the members or at the club house on East Main street. Prices, adults S1.75s ch1l- dren &1.

BUILDING IS SLOW.
Carpenters Strike is the Cause of the
 Trouble.


 The strike of the carpenters in Bridgeport will have no appreciable effect upon the craft ill this town, ex- cept, perhaps, to make 1t little more difficult for the bosses to secure help from out of town, for unless things improve at the Park City contractors there will be securing the state for men in the near future. A great many or the bosses in this city would be pleased to see the local strike set tied, but others claim that they have burned their bridges and any settle ment which included clause binding them to employ only union men shall not be signed. The strike question has not received much attention in the papers, still it is matter of consider able moment to the whole community and although 1t has been on all sum. points over the other to say so. and it is likely to remain this way for the present season. Some of the builders are in worse box now than they were earlier in the season, when only the rough work was being done and it didn't require much skill to work at it. Things are different now and as result several Worknen who made q respectable showing since they came here are in the way at the rounding up, and from now oh things will move slower than at any time since the trouble started
 Taking all things into consideration the strike of the carpenters Of Water bury has been a costly affair for the contractors and matter of great in convenience s0 the men, many of whom are away from home on ac- cont of the snarl and will not be apt to return until some sort of an adjust ment of the differences Is reached.

Soap, using a soft piece Of muslin cloth.
This 1 did twice day, each time FOL

The first step In the treatment of the
chronic forms Is to remove the scales
and crusts aud soften the skin, by
warm baths with Cutlcura Soap. The
scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and
feet win require frequently q thorough
soaking In order to penetrate the thick
ened skin and crusts with which these
parts nre often covered. Dry care
fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment,
lightly at first, and where advisable
spread IL on pieces OF son cloth and
bind in place. Take the Resolvent,
pills, or liquid, In medium doses. DO
not use cold water In bathing, and
