Pugh, who had been up late attending an entertainment. He says that when he first saw the fire it had the appear ance of small light, as from lamp. He at once ran to the Fire Hall and gave the alarm. The building being old and dry and having considerable hay in it, burned almost like a paper house, so that by the time the bell was rung the flames were bursting out and lighting up that part of town
 The opinion has been expressed that someone must have been sleeping in the barn and accidently set fire to it, but is merely surlnise as nothing is known of the origin.

allege and prove that he has suffered damages. The latter result is one manifestly difficult to establish. MT Staub owned valuable rights concern ing the waters ofsthe Housatonic river. MT Crosby, then alive and anxious to make deal likely to be largely profit able to himself, not having money suf- fcient to purchase outright, bargained with MT Staub for the exclusive right to purchase the property within giv- en period. MT Staub accepted the of- fer and took the price agreed upon, his contract being not to dispose of the property to any other person during the option term specified and to sell to Crosby if Crosby wanted to buy.
 MT Crosby then undertook to dispose of these rights in the Housatonic riv- CT to capitalists of New York, Boston and elsewhere. He was unsuccessful and finally died, the option term hav- ing expired some time before his death.
 During all this option period MT Staub made no effort to dispose of his property because he had agreed for a consideration not to do so. The su-

MIR KINNEY MAY KEEP HIS JOB.

Connecticut politicians have a deep interest in the office of collector of in- ternal revenue for the federal district of Connecticut and Rhode Island, now held by MT Kinney. It is reported from Washington that it may be nec- essary for the Connecticut delegation to insist upon keeping MT Kinney in office another term, owing to the atti- tude of Senator Aldrich. The Rhode Island statesman is said to have served notice that if a change in the collector is to be made he will claim the place for Rhode Island man. Connecticut has had the naming of the occupant of this office for many years, but MT AL drich is now so powerful in Washing ton that it is unsafe to risk a battle with him.-[Springtield (Mass.)

FUNERAL OF JABEZ AMsBURY.

FUNERAL OF JABEZ AMSBURY.
 Hon H. s. Mygatt was in Danbury, Friday, and attended the funeral of JabeZ AmSbury, held at 2 30 p. m. at the late home of the deceased, on Deer Hill avenue. It was largely attended by friends and relatives and the serv ice was impressive. A wealth of beau tiful flowers testified to the sympathy of many friends, both in town and out, and striking tribute was paid to the deceased by the closing of number of. stores on Main street during the time of the funeral. The service was conducted by Rev Charles B. BolleS, pastor of the Second Baptist church, in which MT Amsbury was so long a worker. After the reading of the opening part of the service, there was talk by Rev A. c. Hubbard, D. D., pastor emeritus of the same church: He and the deceased had been united in the work of the church and Sunday school for many years and Dr Hub bard's talk dwelt lovingly on the mem- ory of those days. He told of MT Amsbury's personal, religious and busi- ness qualities and paid a glowing trib- ute to his memory. Rev c. A. Piddock of Hartford also spoke curing the service. MT Piddock had many times been associated in religious work, par ticularly that of the Sunday school, with MT Amsbury, and was close personal friend of the deceased. He spoke earnestly of MT Amsbury's ster- ling qualities and related many in- stances of the integrity and earnest ness of purpose of the deceased. The services closed with a prayer by Rev MT Bolles and the burial in Wooster cemetery followed. The pail bearers were Samuel H. Rundle, Thomas 0. Willard, Henry M. Robinson, George H. Williams, Edward s. Fairchild and John w. Bacon. MT AmSbury was for long time cashier of the Danbury National bank.
