CHRISTMAS AT EAGLES HALL.

The managers have made arrange ments to have extra attractions both afternoon and evening Christmas day. The race as announced last Saturday night between Miss Myers and Miss McFarlane for this coming Wednes- day night has been postponed and in- stead there will be graceful skating contest open to all lady skaters. The winner will be awarded beautiful pair of ball-bearing skates; fancy figure skating will not be considered in deciding the winner which will no doubt induce great many of the good lady skaters to enter this inter- esting contest. At the afternoon ses- sion there will be a corking good race between Frank O'Brien and Bert McMahon, the two local flyers. This, coupled with the fact that the Military band will furnish music at both sessions, will no doubt attract a large attendance.

Enriched City Treasury to
 Amount of $290.

The police were quite active Satur- day night, descending upon a poker game in a club room on South Main street. Every one in the game was arrested, twenty in all. One escaped Saturday night, but he was caught yesterday. There was no trial in court to-day, all of them having set tied. These charged with frequent ing the gambling house were: Will liam Allen. He was the one who got away when the raid was made Char les Dillon, Frank Thebo, Joseph Le- win, Herbert Blanchett, Charles Brown, John Clarke, Joseph Crown, William Maillard, George Phelan, Harry Thayer, Patrick Malone, A. w. Mccarthy, Edward Murphy, John Twain, William Hennessey, Harry Barnes, Robert Ford and John White.
 Robert Hayes was charged with keeping the place. The alleged fre- quenters settled for $10 each and the alleged keeper $1OO. Thus the city benefited by S290. There are some real names given in the above list.
 This raid explains why Detective Dodds did not go home Saturday night at the usual hour. The raiding police were Detectives Doods, Ken naugh, Colesanto and Officers Mad den and J. Mccarthy.

WAIVED EXAMINATION
Joseph Camerrolla Bound Over
 10 Superior Court.

Joseph Camerrotta was arrested last evening charged with having cfiminally assaulted Anne Marie Lucia, aged IS, year ago last July 4.
 The case was called in court to-day but the accused's counsel waived ex- animation and the man was bound over to the superior court under a bond of $2,5O0.
 Camerrotta was a boarder in the house of the girls father, and he is half brother to her mother, which would make him her half uncle.
 He misled the girl, it seems, and when she informed her father he as- sailed him with big club, breaking 1t on the fellows head. The feeling toward him was such that he made his stay in town as short as possible A few days ago the recreant sent a messenger to the girls father with word that he wished to return to town and would gladly wed the girl If her father would consent. The fathers anger had not cooled one bit, but, notwithstanding, that. the incl dent took place year ago last July. He laid a trap for the fellow, send ing word back that he would gladly hail him as a son-in-law, and then he went to the prosecutor and had a warrant issued for his arrest. When the man presented himself at the home of the girls folks he was set upon by her friends and relatives and 1t is said that but for the interference .of Paul Suma he would have been torn to pieces. He was held for the police and he spent the night in the police station. What his purpose was in waiving examination is not known, except to placate the outrag- ed father and wed the girl.

THE DRY SEASON
win Hamper Farmers Who Were
 Late iu Potato Planting.

Thomas Kelly does not think the dry season will have any appreciable effect on the cost of living in Water bury this winter. He says 1t is a local matter and that in other places they had lots of rain and the crops are abundant. In Connecticut, MT Kelly says. people who planted early fared much better than those who were not in any hurry putting the seed in the ground. This is particu- larly so with reference to the potato crop. which in some places is almost a total failure. People who didn't plant until along towards the middle of May will not have many tubers. but those who got them in early claim that while they are not quite as large as usual the crop is fairly good. There is lots of good hay, but the corn is a failure. Of course this is a great set back to farmers, but even at that so long as the drought is not general all over the country MT Kelly says he sees no reason why prices should be beyond the reach of all who want to buy.
