to rock from side to side Now we

flung violently to the left On we went
with this crazy. rocking motion, and

ALMOST A RIOT
Laborsrs on TruAE Sewer Have Fears
 Fer Their Wages.

The Italian laborers employed by the McGoyern Construction Co on the trunk sewer on Railroad Hill street, which it is proposed to connect with the filtration plant at Platts Mills, made such an uproar at the scene of their work this morning that people thought riot had begun. Some of the men who had not been paid simply de manded their wages, as work was stopped on the job Saturday. Failing to get their money they employed At torney Bauby to get 1t for them and a dozen or more attachments were lev led on the company this forenoon. The amounts claimed run from S7 to SIP. It is said the company has not carried out its contract with the city on this job. A bond of $200O0 was filed with the city that certain amount of work should be done before November 15. That date is Wednesday.
 The company was the lowest bidder for the contract, so low in fact that the board of public works considered the matter thoroughly before awarding the concern the contract A bond Of
  S20,OO0 that 65 per cent of the job should be finished by Wednesday was given and as less than 9 per cent is finished it is supposed that the board of works will hold special meeting to consider the situation.
 The city does not propose to take any chances with the workmen who have been laid off at the trunk sewer which is being constructed in South Brooklyn for the sewage disposal plant, and with view to protecting as much of the work as has been done from possible violence of laborers who represent that they have not been paid, the line is being guarded by off cers and they will be kept there until the difference is adjusted. It is not likely that the company intends to re- fuse to settle with the men. but the situation yesterday and to-day was considered sufficiently serious to war rant some measure of protection on the part of the city, and Superintendent Beach took the matter in hand prompt ly. To do this it was necessary to call in few supernumerary officers.

The conten- ton raised in the probate court against Mrs Derwin receiving any part of the estate was that she desert ed her husband a few months after their marriage, and that she has since lived under her previous name in the west. Tn view of the appeal the estate has not been distributed.

DEDICATION YESTERDAY
Program Carried 0at at St. Francis
 Xavier's Church.

Yesterday was a banner day in the history of St Francis Xavier parish. The spacious basement was dedicated, a class of 245 children confirmed, i and the bans of marriage announced for the first time between so many couples that even the reporters could not agree upon the number. The altar and sanctuary were beautifully deco rated and the amount of work done in the matter of arranging the seats and getting the organ in position aston ished most of the parishioners, many of whom were not aware that Father Curtin and force of assistants had been working night and day for the past week or more. There were four masses in the morning and solemn vespers in the evening. The music at the different services was of a high order and reflected great credit on the proficiency of the organist, Miss NJ. E. German, and the choir. The Right Rev Bishop Tierney, D. D., celebrated the o'clock mass and Father Skelly of Litchfield said the o'clock mass.
 At 9 o'clock the seats were com fortably filled with children, the girls who were to be confirmed attired in white and the boys in neat black suits with white ribbons pinned on their arms. The sacrament of confirmation was administered by the bishop, who also gave them the pledge until they have reached their majority Jeremiah Shugrue was sponsor for the boys and Miss Carrie Bergen acted in a similar capacity for the girls. The junior choir rendered music, with Miss Lilla Loughlin as sol0ist.
 The ceremony of dedication was commenced at f0:30 o'clock by the bishop, with Father Coppens of New Britain as cross bearer. A large num- Der of priests assisted. The ceremony of dedication, which occupied about half hour, was followed by a solemn high mass, with the following officers: Celebrant, Rev Jeremiah Curtin. West Haven: deacon. Rev J. D. Coyle, New Haven; sub-deacon. Rev F. A. McQuil- Ian. treasurer of Holy Cross college, Worcester. Mass; master of cere- monies, Rev John Fleming.

 The sermon was delivered by the Rev John J. Mccoy, ID. D., of Worces- ter, and was one of the ablest dis courses ever heard in Waterbury. He opened with tribute to the work done here by Father Curtin during the past ten years and then spoke elOquently for nearly three-quarters of an hour on the Gospel of the day, in the course of which he demonstrated the absolute necessity of religious teaching if the mission of Christ is to continue to the end. He drew some striking pictures of the result of indifference towards the things of God in some of the eoun- tries of the old world and stated that the Catholic church now is the great barrier that stands between society and this freedom of thought theory which educates a man up to the notion that he has a right to do as he pleases regardless of how his conduct affects his neighbOr. Made up of all nationali- ties, the church Is one in spirit and never can be anything else He touched on the question of capital and labor and while not taking sides on the question he suggested that in the choice of men for high places labor make sure that It's representatives do not prove to be the weak links.
