CROCODILE CLUB
Copgressmsn Lilley Made a
 Little Speech 10 Members.

Bristol Aug 2S.-The thirty-sec-
 ond annual reunion of the Croco- dile club was held at Lake Com bounce yesterday and was attrac- tive on account of the fact that there was larger attendance than usual and Congressman George l.. Lilley of Waterbury was present for part of the session. It was expected that Hon George P. Me- Lean of Simsbury and Hon Everett J. Lake of Hartford would be pres ent also. but neither of them was on hand. Congressman Lilley did not remain through the session, but he was on hand long enough to give everybody chance to shake hands with him.
 The Crocodile club is a unique organization, which has held meet ings and sheep barbecues every sum- mer since the legislature of 1876 adjourned. The legislature of that year was what gave the world the Crocodile club. Cad Norton, one of the owners of Lake Compounce, wanted his house set of from Southington to the town of Bristol. He was member of that year s general assembly and he asked the legislature to kindlr have the line changed so he would be resident of the town of Bristol. The mem- bers followed his suggestion, and made MT Norton a citizen of Bris- tol instead of Southington To thank them for the act, MT Norton invited the legislature out to Com- bounce one summers day in 1876 and gave them an old fashioned sheep bake.
 The morning hours yesterday were devoted to reunions and the annual business meeting. Ex-County Commissioner George A. Beers, who Is secretary and general manager of the club, got enough members to- gether to hold a business meeting at II o'clock. They received a let ter from Hon William G. French of Watertown, who has been president for many years, saying he was in poor health and couldn't be present. He suggested that somebody else serve in his stead. but the "Croco- diles" wouldn't listen to 1t and elected ex-Senator Thomas H. Brady of New Britain vice-president, Ed ward Everett Newell of Bristol treasurer and George A. Beers, also of Bristol, secretary.
 Congressman Lilley came into the hall just before the members commenced their onslaught on the barbecred sheep and fried corn. Toastmaster George A. Beers called attention to the fact that MT Lil- ley was present and would say a few words. MT Lilley was greeted with applause and said he had in, tended to take part in the outing of the club and to enjoy the splendid banquet which the Crocodilees were famous for throughout the state. He said he was a judge of sheep and of sheep bakes and it was gen. uine disappointment for him not to be able to stay and enjoy the occa- sion. He said he had some friends in New Haven who were waiting for him, as he was supposed to be there at 2 o'clock and he must leave the Crocodiles to keep his engagement

 -The Brooklyn Athletic club has practically completed plans for its fair to be run in City hall the early part of next month.
 The condition of Patrick Hickey of Lafayette street, who was stricken with shock yesterday, remained practically the same to-day.
 There is very little football talk in this section at present. In all probability the All Brooklyn team will not materialize and at the pres ent writing 1t would seem as though most of the players from this side of the bridge would be lined up with the All Waterbury eleven.
 As result of stepping on a large rusty spike which made deep gash in his foot, Joseph Prukonis of Green street Is confined to his home, suffering from blood poisoning. Joe" had a hole in his shoe and while going through yard near his home a few days ago stepped on the spike. which went through and pierced his foot.
 The residents of James street are alarmed over the fact that there are a few cases of typhoid fever in that vicinity Moreover. they fear lest there is some common cause, for the latest victim. Mrs James Walker. lIyes directly across the street from Mrs Frank Noble. who was removed to the Waterbury hospital a short time ago with a severe attack of typhoid. It Is only natural that the residents should be on the anxious seat, but still there is no great chance of an epidemic. There have been several cases of contagious dis eases in this section the past few weeks. but they have been kept we'll in hand.
 Although the appointment of Thomas Cavanaugh as captain to the new Baldwin street engine house was not unexpected. still there were a few who up to the last moment thought that Jack would be the choice. Johnson himself realized that It was as good as settled for he did not even appear before the board to be examined. Cavanaugh has made a good driver for No 3 and has been a popular hoseman with the other members of the house. After John son he would perhaps have been Brooklynis choice The appointment of Charles Bockwitch to the fire de- pertinent came as a surprise. AL though Bockvfteh had done good work on the ladders 1t vas not thought that he would be one of the lucky applicants consequently his se- lection ras all the more pleasing to his friends

NEW. FIRE CAPTAIN
Board of Safely Elecis Men For
 New Baldwin Street Rouse.

While those who work nights were having breakfast and those who work days were having dinner or supper, the board of public safe ty tackled special meeting yes. terday evening. To avoid misun' derstanding it might be said that the hour was o'clock. All or the members of the board were on hand, and Commissioner Minor presided. During the meeting May or Thoms dropped in but did not disturb Chairman Minor. While everybody who knew of the nieet- ing was aware of the purpose 1t was called for, for the sake of his- tory 1t should be recorded in blacks and white that the object was to elect captain and half dozen men to the fire department, pre- sumably for its latest addition, the Baldwin street engine house. From the names of those who were select ed it will be seen that they form a direct contradition of the reports in circulation week ago that the board had already decided upon appointing it's first cousins, its brothers and uncles, and that all this climbing of ladders and swing ing in the air was all bosh, mere matter of form.
 Without any bother, the follow ing were elected unanimously: Captain, Thomas Cavanaugh, the appointment to take effect on Sep- tember IS; callmen, Charles Bock- witch, Joseph T. CosgrifT, Bryan Ma honey. Thomas O'Brien, William J. O'Donnell and Thomas Wilton. The last named two were eX-members of the department. The new call- men were informed to file their ap- plications for appointment to the regular department before next Wednesday when the board will hold a regular meeting, and the presumption is that they will then be appointed as regulars. It is talk en for granted that Captain-elect Cavanaugh will be appointed to the Baldwin street house.
 MT Cavanaugh's competitors were William Mccarthy and Joseph A. Begley of the Burton street engine house and James A. Thompson, member of the Rose Hill Volunteer company. The questions asked them related to their time of ser- vice, the location of fire alarm, boxes and such routine matters.

WHEN TO ADVERTISE.
The Wise Merchant Keeps His Name
 Before the People All the Time.

The man who does not advertise right through hard times is apt to be forgotten and has a hard cam paign before him to bring himself into the minds of his customers again. For advertising is something like a personal introduction. Ii may ripen into profitable and pleas ant relations or 1t may result in nothing. It is. we'll to be introduced by reputable paper, but after the introduction the advertiser himself must make good. And it is very hard for man to introduce himself without some previous breaking of the ground, however persistent and plausible he may be. Hence the wisdom of keeping the notice of a legitimate business before the public during hard times.-Hartford Times.

GLORY HOLE ON
The RED TOP
ROCK WITH FREE GOLD IN SHIP
PING QUANTITIES OPENED
UPON THIS PROPERTY.


The Red Top Consolidated lease,
on the north end of the Red Top, has
been a shipper of a good grade of ore
for two months, but nenceforth in
stAad of being in the ordinary class,
tHDRed Top is liable to take It's
place among the Goldfeld leases that
are talked about all over the country.
Yesterday the high-grade ore en-
tered at the 15O-foot level and in the
drift to the north on Wednesday,
widened out to four and half feet.
The entire breast is in high grade
ore that will compare favorably to
some of the best ore mined on the
Mohawk. The quartz is similar In
appearance, and picked pieces when
cleaned up a little show wide streaks
of the yellow metal running clear
through the rock. This kind of ore
would assay, if tried separately, at
least $50 a pound.
The ore shoot carrying the high
grade ore was first entered in the up
raise at the 225-foot level, and then
the work of locating the values at the
. 150-foot level was begun, but 1t did
not take long to pick up the ore. The
grade when entered was not remark
ably rich, but with distance the quail
ity steadily improved until the real
bonanza stuff was brought to light
yesterday morning. Assays on fair
samples of the ore were secured yes
terday afternoon that went from
$3.50 to $2112.
Other lessees had tried and failed
to find the ore shoot, among the num-
Der being Captain Bradley, who
worked like Trojan to uncover the
wealth promised by surface indica-
lions and assays obtained on string
ers of the ore in sinking his shaft.
He missed the ore shoot by only a
few feet. This was over three years
ago. He surrendered when his
money gave out. The dead work of
the former lessees which was done in
good style, was taken advantage of
by John Donnellan and ]. G. Rob-
ertson, who secured the lease from
the Consolidated and organized the
Red Top Consolidated Lease COM
spany.
Yesterdays find is recognized as
one of the utmost Importance, as II
takes the shipping properties north
and east 1000 feet on the big dyke
the nearest producer being the main
shaft on the Red Top. The Mushett
lease, which is shipping little ore,
is 500 Neet distant. The ore shoots
on the Mock Of ground pitch to the
east at an angle of As degrees. The
Frisco company, operating on the
south END of the Booth, expect to
catGh the extension of the shoot, and
is ing ahead as though certain that
in very short time the rich ore will
be round. Just what course the ore
in the big dyke will take is profile
matical, and those experts who have
tried to study the problem out are
divided in their views. The majority
say that the high grade ore will b.
found to the north and east, and il
that event the Orc is likely to be ii
the limelight.
While the average grade of the or
shipped from the lease heretofore ha
been in the neighborhood of $40
ton, the grade will be enhanced t
many times that figure. The frs
carload of picture rock was shippe'
yesterday. Goldfield Tribune
