SHOT HIMSELF
Charles Slockbower Found Dead
 From Revolver Wound.

Charles SlOckblOwer. aged 47 years, committed suicide Saturday by shoot ing himself at his home in one of the buildings south of the Auditorium. He was conductor on the Consolidated road. but had not been working TOT the past few days. Saturday after noon he bought a revolver and on his return home he acted rather suspi- ciously. His wife went out to look up an officer, but not finding any i'll the neighborhOod she went back to the house and found her husband stretched oil the bed. It was dark at the time and believing that he had fallen asleep during her absence she picked up the revolver that lay near him and closed the door. Everything was done to avoid disturbing him during the night, and the fact that he had shot himself while his wife was out looking up an officer was not known until yesterday morning when his wife thought it safe to call him. The bullet entered his temple and ploughed through his skull. Besides his widow, he leaves three children. Marion, 8; Walter, 6. and Thomas, 4.
 Mind trouble over being laid off from work for short time is said to have been the cause of upsetting the unfortunate man so that he decided to end his life. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.

BRONSON LIBRARY
Will Purchase Books in Lithuanian
 and Yiddish Languages.

The board of agents of the Bronson
 library fund held meeting Saturday afternoon. J. s. Elton presiding, and
 authorized the secretary to advertise the Holmes scholarship A committee
 consisting of J. s. Elton, Bernard H.
 Fitzpatrick, l.. A. Platt and Martin Scully was appointed with power to act regarding the award of such schol- arships as are, vacant. The use of the
 library for the annual meeting of the
 Connecticut Library association. which
 will be held l.ere May 1, was asked
 for by Miss Sperry with the under
 standing that she be authorized to
 spend $50 in entertaining the guests
 Favorable action was taken on both
 requests. The librarian was instruct
 ed to expend between $50 and $1OO in
 the purchase of books in the Yiddish
 and Lithuanian languages. At the
 present time the library has a fair
 supply of books in German, French,
 Italian and other tongues, and as
 there appears to be demand for lit erature in Yiddish by Hebrew rest
 dents, the board is anxious to meet it and also give the large number of Lithuanians in Waterbury szow. and although no request had come from the Lithuanians it was deemed advisable to put some of their books on the shelves, and if they make good use of them probably more will be purchased later on.
 Mir Whiting inquired if there is any Gaelic literature in the library, ro which Miss Sperry replied that they have a Gaelic grammar. Mir Whiting thought probably that was all there Is demand for at the present time. but he believed that this would not be so much longer, adding that we have a Gaelic Literary society in Waterbury now and that he was of the opinion that the day was not far distant when many will want to read the fairy and folk lore of Ireland and Scotland, the ancient lays of Ossian and other able thinkers of that period who wrote good things in choice language when nothing but Gaelic was spoken in those countries, occupy places in the i library. He could talk l Gaelic when he was boy and took i occasion to remind the librarian and the board that people who didn't hear l Douglas Hyde when he lectured in | missed a rare literary treat. MT. Kingsbury said he should De pleased to see some books in Gae- ic in the library provided anybody wanted them. but the board didn't eel that the time had come to make | move in that direction. but enough vas said to show that as soon as the ocal Gaelic scholars come forward md assure the board that books In hat tongue will be read. they will be dded

OLD TREE GONE
People Thought Bottom Dropped
 Out of Pine Hill.

The high wind of Saturday night got
 It's shoulder to the trunk of the huge
 tree that has stood in the rye lots on
 Baldwin street considerably longer
 than the oldest resident remembers,
 and leveled it to the ground. When it
 came down it made a noise that was
 heard all over the neighborhood and
 many went out in the storm and kept
 inquiring what was up until they got
 at the facts, one man remarking before
 he heard of the fate of the monarch of
 the old ball field that he thought the
 bottom had dropped out of Pine hill.
 The blast that swept the tree from Its
 mooring came along about 9 o'clock,
 and owing to the severity of the wealth
 CT nobody was near. consequently aside
 from the incident itself nothing un- usual happened. The tree was burned
 near the ground from youngsters con
 stantly building fires in the trunk and it was such q regular hang out 1t is a miracle that it came down without catching somebody under it. It will be missed especially by folks who are fortunate enough to be able to live without resOrting to daily toll and who found it a pleasant place to spend the summer months, and not q very bad spot in the winter time. either, for no- body claimed to own it and everybody who cared made his own use of it and as result when the weather was chilly it was nothing wonderful to see nice log fire burning merrily there and few fellows toasting their shins about it. Probably there is not an old time lover of base ball in Waterbury that has not at some time or other sat beneath the shade of that tree and watched the boys d0'rheiri ~prpttfest. and there are others who could tell in- teresting anecdotes of the times when they met there and indulged in ami mated discussions over the merits of this and that base ball player and the staying qualities of the several prize fighters that figured in the roped arena | since the time of Donnelly and Cooper | and before. Although 1t was the ! up place for all sorts and | conditions of peoples. still nobody ever was hurt there. no lady insulted by those who made it a kind of home. so that while 1t was nuisance in some respects. yet SO many tender associa- tions were connected with it everybody was sorry to hear that it had finally yielded to the assaults of the clements. and many called yesterday to have a last look at the prostrate form of what when standing was one of the largest Irees in Waterbury. The property be. ongs to Dr Rodman, but it is not like y that the doctor will bother with it 'o that somebody will get enough wood out of it to put him through the ginter.

CITY NEWS

Watch out for "The Man on the
 Box" Coming soon.
 Attorney ]. A. Peasley got judgment few days ago for Frank Afford of New Britain for S930 against Anthony I.ombardi and Pasquale Ragazzor of this city. Lombardi and Ragazzor leased a farm from Afford and used it for number of years. When rent was asked they claimed the lease had been violated by Afford. This took the matter to the courts with the above result.
 It was not for the money but for the principle involved that prompted John Saults of Baldwin street to institute suit against Dr F. J. callaghan for S1.50 as administrator on the estate of his wife. Saults claimed he removed quantity of ashes from the doctors residence. while the doctor strenuously denietil this. The matter was heard Saturday before n justice and Attor- ney Seery obtained judgment for the doctor to recover Lis costs.
