FOR BOYS SCHOOL
Institution For Which ihe Late Father Duggan Lett Donation.

St Johns Industrial school at Deep River, the corner stone of which will be laid next Tuesday, takes its in- ception from generous donation by the will of the late Father John Dug gan of Waterbury. Bishop Tierney has for years cherished the hope of establishing such home within his diocese. For three years temporary school has been conducted at ,Hamil- ton Heights, West Hartford. This home, however, must be abandoned in order to make room for Mount St Joseph academy, which will be nov ed to the new convent at the opening of the next scholastic year. The new
 building will be completed in the spring, and the school will be ready to prosecute, in healthy and, delight full surroundings, its work of chris tian beneficence ...s
 The exterior plans call for build ing 100, feet front by "A feet deep, four stories in height. The building is to be built of field stone with trim- mings of brick and granite. The roof will be of slate. ..e.-

SUNDAY THE BIG DAY.
Only a Few Days of Ardmore Lots at
 50 Gents a Week, .s

The successful sale of lots in Ard more, the attractive plat out North Main street, close to the car line and near splendid residential section, is not surprising in view of the rapid growth of Waterbury north and also considering the remarkably low prices and terms on which these fine lots are sold. When investors and home seekers can buy Waterbury lots at from $20 to s125 in payments of one dollar down, then fifty cents a week without interest or taxes, it is no wonder they lose no time in taking advantage of the opportunity. There are number of choice lots unsold in Ardmore and those who expect to purchase will have to do so soon as the sale will close in a short time. Sunday is the best day to. visit Ard more, but any afternoon will do in the next few days. Salesmen are on the lots every afternoon and all day Sun day, early and late, rain or shine. Such an opportunity is not likely to again be offered in Waterbury.
 Ardmore is quickly reached by talk ing North Main street cars to end of line, walking north over block and turning to the left at big "Ardmore''' Sign .,t t,... ..... ...- .-- D.. '.'. .s--. ..-'

NEWSPAPERMANDlNED
Presented With a Gold Watch
 By His Friends Last Night.

There were sounds of merrymaking emanating from Hodson's dining room last evening, and as the doors leading to where the spread was be- ing held were closed, many on the outisde wondered what was up. When the mirth was at its height a newspaperman entered Hodson's and was asked what was on inside. He informed the inquirer that it was a supper at which were the newspaper men of the city. Yes, I know" he replied, but what mean who is pay ing. for it." They are paying for. 1t themselves, was the scribe's reply. The man. threw up his hands as though 1t was something to marvel at that the scooperines' were blow ing themselves. '~
 But it was for good fellow, Wal ter. w. Wright of the business office of the American, who will leave next week for Texas, where he will seek to recover his health which of late has not been of the best. That's why some of the newspapermen of the city and a number of MT Wright's friends were banqueting last night. There were about thirty present. During the evening MT Wright was presented with gold watch, Frederick Davis making the presentation speech.
 After those present showed what they could do to an appetizing spread a little oratory, so called, was heard. The toastmaster was Roland F. An drews, of the American. AaS :, :. The after dinner outpourings were rich, coming from Representative Ab- ner P. Hayes, City Clerk William H. Sandland, N. w.

MANY MEN
OUT OF WORK
Conditions in This Valley Not
Prosperous.

Since the dull times have set in
many men have been thrown out of
work in this valley, or have only par
tial work at the various enterprises at
which they were employed
At the big cement plant at Richard
City, 200 men have been laid off. but
the plant is running regular time de-
spite the report in a Chattanooga pa
per that it had shut down. About 500
men is the normal force.
At South Pittsburg the pencil works
shut down some months ago not to re-
sumo until after Jan. /. The Shuster
foundry has also suspended work and
the Blackjack foundry runs half time.
The stove works, however, as yet has
made no change, and of course, the
furnaces are still idle, shut down some
years ago.
At the lock and dam three miles
from Jasper, work has been suspended
pending the settlement of controver-
sy between the owners of the rroperty
and the contractor, W. j. Oliver, as
to whether he was doing his work ac-
cording to contract or not High wa
ter in the river has hindered work at
this place very much this fall, and not
a very large force of men have been
employed.
At Whitwell the coke ovens are shut
down, but the mines are still running
with an output of about 800 tons daily.
At Dunlap the mines are practically
shut down, only small force of men
being employed The affairs of the
Southern Steel company are in the
courts for settlement and all mines and
furnaces of the company have been
shut down by order of the courts.
In all it is not pleasing prospect for
labor, but will have good result that
many will return to farming and more
corn, hay, cattle and hogs will be on
the market next fall. The big demand
for labor at the big enterprises of the
valley has made farming interests suf-
fen and it is high time for reaction.
A man with small farm is much
more independent than the man who
works by the toot of whistle, and a
number are beginning to find it out,
and ''back to the farm" will soon be
the cry, and it will be healthy slog-
an. In few months this depression
will be over and these great United
States win be marching on to even
greater prosperity.

SIXTY MINERS
MEET DEATH
Alabama Village Scene of an
Awful Mine Explosion.
DRY MINE DUST EXPLODES
Conclusion Shakes Entire
Shattering Weaker Struct-
ureS.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. II

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. l6.
Sorrow holds a grim vigil in the
model little mining village of Yolan-
de, set snugly among the hills OF
Tuscaloosa county and many of the
uniformly white and green trimmed
cottages are deserted tonight while
their occupants stand wringing their
hands IN mute despair before the en-
trance TO coal mine No. |, where
sixty Of their loved ones lie entomb-
ed under tons of rock, the result of
an explosion of dry dust, with no
chance of any being brought out a.
live save that of miraculous interven-
ton.
1t was 1925 o'clock this morning
whentbe explosion occurred. Some
thing over ninety men had been
checked off going into the mines. A
part of these were at work not far
from the entrance, while the majority
had penetrated considerable dis.
tanoe into the mine. Immediately
under thes right sub-entry the ex-
plosion occurred. 1t was awful in
its course. The people in the vii
laee heard the report and knew in.
stinctively that it came from the
mine. Houses in the village rocked
from the eonoussion.
When the shock had subsided and
the fall OF earth and rock ceased,
seventeen men who had been tenn
porarily stunned by the explosion,
picked themselves up and began 70
crawl through the debris towards
fresh air. Rescue parties immediate
iy began work in an endeavor to save
il possible, their doomed comrades
The poisonous gasses following the
explosion rendered their task almost
hopeless. Only two were recovered
alive. What little Information could
be gained from them was that there
were sixty men at work where the
explosion was felt the worst anG
where the cave.in was complete.
