THE ICE STORM.
Fog and Warm Rain Destroyed Hand-
 iwork of Storm Hing.

The ice king started out to do his prettiest last night and had things in readiness for a magnificent display as soon as the sun got out this morning, but unfortunately for lovers of daz- zling shows, the wind, aided by fog, came along and in less than half an hour destroyed the handiwork of the storm king and relieved the trees and shrub bery from burdens of icicles that bent some of them to the ground, in many instances snapping the branches and doing considerable damage. For a time huge chunks of ice flew In ali directions and people who were about the streets had close calls from getting struck by the missiles. Some Of the pieces struck window glass, shattering it to pieces, and giving those on the inside something to do to save them selves from the cold. It rained a lit tie through the night and was rather warm for this season, so that folks who had made preparation for the usual zero weather by keeping up their fires found that they had made mis- take The walking this morning was not quite as bad as people expected 1t would be. There was an abundance of slus1, but it was not too slippery and consequently pedestrians didn't mind it. although many wished they had come out provided with hip boots. The street department is on the hustle to keep the water moving, and con- sidering the suddenness of the change and the extent of territory to be cov- cred. the usual difficulties are being encountered. many forgetting that the department cannot clean all the cross ings at the same time.

spEEDWELL WORKED
 THIRD RANK LAST NIGHT

Great enthusiasm marked the regu- lar meeting last night of SpeedWell lodge, No 10. K. of F.
 The work of the third rank on two candidates was thoroughly enjoyed by the large attendance present, the team work being especially fine. The working of the ranks by this lodge leaves little to be added to make it the best in the state.
 The carnival and fair which, is to be given under their auspices, begin ning one week from tomorrow night has interested all members to such an extent that the advance sale of sea- son tickets guarantees a success for this novel and up-to-date attraction, which is the only attraction of this kind ever seen in Waterbury, and which represents an enormous outlay to secure it. Full details of same will appear in the daily papers and otherwise.
