THREE NEW CARRIERS
Postmaster Filling Has Now Thirty.TwO on His List ;
 Town Is Growing.

Postmaster Filling has received
 permission from the authorities at Washington to appoint three new let ter carriers. The appointments will be made from the oldest substitutes.
 These are Bernard V. O'Reilly of South street; Francis T. Reed of Sim onsville, and Walter J. Dalton of Mill istreet. The men will enter upon their duties as regulars on November 15. This brings the number of carriers up to thirty-two. MT Filling said this af- ternoo nthat six or seven more coulc
 be used to advantage, but that with these service on the present routes will be improved and the entire inside district will have their mail deliver ed. Of course it means three new routes, but these will not cover any added territory to speak of. The out side districts have nothing to expect out of it, but it would appear from
 what the postmaster said that the time is coming when residents of the outside districts will have their mail delivered in all cases where the roads are fit to go over. This street ques- tion is getting to be serious. During the past week certain portions of Town Plot have been cut off because
 the carrier could not get over the roads in his team and two or three more sections are in danger of getting
 Topped off, too, so that unless the out side fellows get a move on them and come into the inside they may have to return to the custom in vogue some years ago when everybody who ex- pected letter or newspaper had to foot it to the postoffice and then wait for half an hour before he could get a chance to speak to the clerk at the delivery window. MT Filling is very much pleased over the additions to the force, but heis not going to stop at that, but will keep right on asking for more until he has as many men as he believes Waterbury needs. But won't Hans Rasmussen declaim when he hears that his mail carrier will not call to see him any more.

FELL FROM MIRANDA
Mrs Ellen Ryan Made a MiSsiep
 in the Dark.

Mrs Ellen Ryan, aged 30 years, died at the hospital shortly after midnight from the effects of injuries received by falling from the third story veranda of the Timothy Bren- nan block, 53 Fuller street. Mrs Ryan resided on Bridge street and made call upon a friend in the Brennan block. She remained but a short time and was on her way home when she lost her footing on the first step of the top veranda and fell forward, going over the banister and falling to the ground, distance of about forty feet She was picked up and carried to her own home, which is but a short distance from where the accident happened. A priest was called in and Dr O'Hara and Dr Donahue were summoned. The woman sustained a compound fracture of the right thigh, several scalp wounds, and it is supposed that she was injured internally. It was decided to send her to the hos pital. where she fingered until after midnight. The body was removed to the home of her brother. Daniel O'Leary. 32 Jewelry street, from where the funeral will be held Mon day morning at S:3O o'clock. Be- sides her husband and brother the deceased leaves her parents, two brothers and sister in Ireland. The woman's death was purely an ac- cident.

MELLEN WITHDRAWS.
No Connection Now With Massachu
 setts Trolley,

New Haven, Nov 9.-The with drawal of President Mellen of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad company, from all official connection with the Massachusetts trolley companies held by the New England Investment and Security company of Boston, is interpreted as a step to strengthen the legal posi- tion of the latter corporation in any litigation against the control of the New Haven company of the street railway corporations in question. The New Haven company has from the first held that the oBston corporation. as a voluntary association. has a legal right to hld those Massachusetts, trol- ley properties which were some time ago transferred to it. Itis also thought that the situation has some connection with the pending investigation by the federal authorities of the question of the New Haven company's right to acquire rival lines.

THE KING IS 66
Military and Naval Celebrations in Many Places in His
  Honor Today.

London, Nov. 9.-The anniversary of the birthday of King Edward, who was born November g, 1S41, was ob- served to-day throughout the British Empire, with the customary military and naval salutes and displays. His majesty is celebrating the event at Sandringham, where the king and queen of Spain and the queen of Nor way are staying, in addition to many other members of the British royal family. The morning was occupied in receiving an immense number of con- gratulatory telegrams, letters and presents from all parts of the world one of the most notable events being the presentation to the king of the Cullinan diamond, the largest known, estimated to be worth $750,000 and presented to his majesty by the legis- lative assembly of the Transvaal as { token of the loyalty of the people ot that colony and in commemoration ot the grant of responsible government to the Transvaal. The presentation was made by Sir Richard Solomon, ,ex- lieutenant governor of the Transvaal representing the government of the colony.
 During the afternoon their majes- ties entertained the tenantry of Sand ringham at dinner.
 The great event of the day in Lon don was the lord mayors show, which was a distinct improvement on the second rate circus like parades of the past years. The services of a profes- sional pageant maker were called in with the result that he organized a historic procession representing all the King Edwards from Edward the Confessor to Edward VII, each group forming a distinctive cavalcade ar rayed in the costume of the period re- presented the reign of Edward VII be- ing symbolized by a car entitled 'The Harvest of the Peacemaker. It con- sisted of real harvest wagon drawn by eight Shire horses and bearing the fruits of peace.
 The route of the procession was elaborately decorated and the pageant was viewed by enormous throngs ot sightseers.
 The new lord mayor of London is Sir John c. Bell, the we'll known brewer and officer of a number oi municipal and other corporations, who was elected September 2S to succeed Sir William Treloar, but who accord ing to custom was only formally in- stalled in office to-day.

New York, Nov 9.-After pursu' ing her with his unwelcome atten- tions for ten years, Joseph Schmilo- witz of Cleveland, O., to-day shot and instantly killed Mrs Dora Stebel in the presence of her two children in her apartment in Myrtle avenue Brooklyn. According to the tale told by Mrs Stebels little boy to the po- lice, Schmilowitz had been writing letters to his victim for ten years and had been so insistent that Mrs Stebel, her husband and her chil- dren had been compelled to flee from Philadelphia to Boston and thence to Brooklyn, in the hope of eluding him.
 Schmilowitz was arrested. He gave his address as 2314 Orange avenue, Cleveland, and said he was cabinetmaker and that he has a wife and culldren in Cleveland. Mrs Stebel is the wife of cabinetmaker, who was at work when the tragedy occurred. Mrs Stebel and her chil- dren were at breakfast when ochmil- owitz knocked at the door of their apartemnt. AS Mrs Stebel unsus- pectingly opened the door he greeted her with the question, Why have you never answered those letters?" As he spoke he drew revolver and fired at her, but missed. Mrs Stebei fled for the fire escape with Schmil- owitz in pursuit, firing. One bullet struck her between the shoulders and penetrated the heart, causing in- stant death.
 Schmilowitz fled fro mthe house with a hundred persons in hot chase and ran until he was intercepted by a detective. he had thrown away his revolver and submitted without a fight, saying: Tt is life for life with me. I don't care what hap pens to me now"

Salvation Army General Bids Farewell

Salvation Army General Bids Farewell
 to America.
 New York, Nov. 9.-"God be with you till we meet again." in a voice that had not the slightest trace of the quavering of age, came from the steps of the city hail. God be with you till we meet again" boomed through the rain as three red jerseyed men breathed their religious fervor into megaphones so that all might hear the message. And the group in the park, far smaller than had been hoped, but making atonement with enthusi- asm, chanted God be with you till we meet again" until General William Booth, commander of the Salvation Army, closed his eyes and bent for ward, plainly affected by the heartfelt nature of the goodby.
 "We have had a mighty time to- gether," he said. "I leave ycu with great confidence in your loyalty. Re true to your principles. Be true to your master. Be true to your general. Be true to the cross.
 Salvation for everybody! Salvation for the president! Salvation for the government. Salvation for the peo- pie! Salvation for the policew There were hoots at the latter utterance, but he kept on: Salvation for the United States! Salvation for poor old Eng land! Salvation for the world! I'll meet you all in heaven. I'm going to Berlin, but I'll implore the Germans to pray for you, as ask you to pray for them. God be with you till we meet again. Now. all sing that God be with you till we meet again."

s. P. WILLIAMS LOSES.
ApOthecaries' Hall Go Got Verdict
 to Collect Rent.

The result of the suit for election by the Apothecaries' Hall Go against Samuel P. Williams for possession of the offices occupied by him in the company's building, was a verdict for the plaintiff. The hearing of the case was resumed this afternoon at 10 o'clock. At II o'clock the jury retired and at 2 o'clock a verdict was reported. Notice of appeal was given. Thus far in this seemingly interminable contention for su- premacy in the Apothecaries' Hall Co, I. P, Kellogg, president and gen. eral manager, has won on every point that has been raised. Mir Will Hams will now in all probability re- tort with suit against the company for his commissions on insurance transactions for goodness knows how many years back, for it was his de- fense in this suit that these commis- sions wer to be taken as his rent for his office.
