Last week we were shown two dozen
hats just finished at t‘rofut rt Knapp‘s
factory No. l. which were tobe shipped
to t‘alifornia for exhibition at the sug~
gestion of Mr. James H. Knapp. who is
now in that state. The hats beat any-
thing we have ever. seen. They were
all of the best innteritil and finest finish.
and the trimmings elegant. especially
the sweat bands and tips. The bands
were all beautifully embroidered. and of
various and elaborate patterns. Some
of the tips were also embroidered. and
others were what is known in the trade
as “stuck.“ All the work on the hat.
was done in the factory. and the trim-
mers displayed an appdmciation of the
decorative art that can not boexoelled.
We doubt if two doaen as fine but: were
ever sent out of any factory.

Report having gained circulation that
there were circumstances attending the
death of \Vm. Theo. llyxbee that needed
investigation. Medical Examiner llurke
notified Coroner Holt. who came over.
It was found5however. that there was

treatment by his father. The injuries
sustained by the boy were inflicted by
boys at the Union School. where he was
roughly handled by being laid across the

Will be crowded on that evening. lliif-
falo llill everywhere meets with a per
fu‘t ovation. His “\Vilil \Vest" show
ast summer was one of the greatest suc-
cesses of the season. and his play of the
“Prairie “'aif.“ is following in the same
line. The Hartford Ewniiig Ilcmld says:
“The acting of the popular actor was
not in question in this his first presenta-
tion of his new play. but the quality of
the piece itself. On this score there was
little doubt before the closc of the first
act and the hearty applause which
greeted the various strong points of the
drama scttlcd the fact that another suc-
cess had been scored. The support of
the central figure. taken by Buffalo lb".
was better than usual.
A few weeks ago. Robert Pearson had
a birthday party. at which a numlu r of
the members of Good Tcinplars lodge of
the borough were present and had a
good time. To show their up irecintion
of their recaption and regarr for Mr.
Pearson‘s good qualities. they determined
to make him a present. This they did
last Thursday evening. A number of
Good Templars dropped in on Mr. Pear-
son and presented him with a beautifully
upholstered rocking chair. Mr. Pearson
thanked the members for this token of
their esteem in a very short speech.
which those present said fully repaid
them for their trouble in coming from
the borough to give Mr. Pearson this
token. The chair is a splendid specimen
of decorative and the upholstcr‘s art.
and Mr. Pearson says that he will treas'
tire it and occupy it with gratitude to
the givers until he shuffles off this mor~
tiil‘coil.
Charles M. t‘i‘aw ford. the successor of
Mr. Sandiforth as superintendent of the
lluiibuiy & Norwalk railway. may very
appropriately be said to be a “natural
born“ railway man. He comes of an old
and renowned railway family. His father
now deceased. was cininciit as a railway
man and a prominent official of the great
Pennsylvania railway system. which
may be said to be the most perfectly
managed railway system in the world.
Four brothers of the ltuibury‘s new su-
perintendent. including himself. have
been educated in the same efficient rail~
way school as their father. 'l‘wo broth-
eis are at this time considered as not
only among the most valuable. but also
indispensable officers of that road. Our.
superintendent was recommended by
and procured from the Pennsylvania
railway company to superinteud the con-
struction of the Merideu & Cromwell
railway. and he proved the efficacy of
the exceptional schooling in railway af~
fairs he had received. for he so managed
the construction of Meriden‘s new road
that. its entire line. something over ten
miles in all. was completed for‘one hun-
dred and thirty thousand dollars.--Gw

taken in connection with the fact of the
recent troubles in this particular center
of thc trade and the uncertainty and
cloud that hangs ovcr other concerns in
the same line. \oiiils to a serious storm
that seems to t ireatcn the entire halting
interests of the country. Just now the
factories here are running pretty full.
but the low prices they are getting and
close margins allowed. together with the
unsteadiiiess of the trade and the losses
incurred by the l‘uiluws of jobbcrs that
are constantly occiiring. makes it. any-
thing but a satisfactory state of things
to the manufacturer. Those who have
the mcans of knowing sav that the worst
of the trouble has already prism“. and
that those who have been able to go
safely thus far will get through all right.
llu‘ it is known that some of the Orange
manufacturers lose by the failure of one
of the heavv jobbing houses named in
this week‘s list. perhaps seriously enough
to shake their own standing. It is also
known that for a long time past the corti-
petition has been such as to crowd man-
ufacturers into close corners. and the
state of business has been regarded as
anything but hopeful to those. engaged
in it. The people of this community are
vitally interested in all that pertains to
the welfare of the hattin trade, and it
is to be hoped that a hea thier state of
things will be found to exist after the
storm has chaired away..—-Chroni‘ele
