Ferris, dropped: dead on the deck of the steam barge Hornet near the Washington street bridge about 7 o’clock Wednesday evening. _ Captain Carlsen was in command of the McCullogh, one of the numerous barges owned by the McWilliam brothers, which was loaded with coal. He was getting ready to haul his boat through the Washington street draw- bridge when it became fast under the guard of the steam barge Hornet, lying near the bridge. Captain Carlsen thought that the in- coming tide Would sink his boat and he became very much excited. In his ex- citement he jumped upon the deck 'of the Hornet and was making strenuous efforts to release his boat when he sud- denly fell to the deck. He was assisted to a barrel and Dr‘. Bohannan sent for,\but before the doc- tor’s arrival Carlsen was dead. Captain Carlsen was a native of Den- mark and made his home on the barge McCullogh with his wife and five small children. He had been sufering some time with his heart and had been warned by a Bridgeport physician not to be- come excited or he might drop dead. He will be buried in St. Mary’s ceme- tery this afternoon. .

C. E. Merritt, a hat manufacturer of Danbury, said that the experience of the hattrrs had been that wood alcohol injured the eyes and health of the em- ployee. There could be no doubt that grain alcohol was much better for their purposes than wood alcohol, but its tax made its use out of the question. Dr. Oley, an oculist of Danbury. who, he said, had many batters of that city among his patients, told of the in- juries resulting from the use. of wood alcohol to the eyes. . Similar testimony was given by oth- ers. . E. B. Stevens, chemist of the Man- hattan Spirit Co., of Buffalo, said that by a very simple process a mixture of grain and wood alcohol could be de- methylated. He denied that the hand- ling and manufacture of wood a'lcobol were injurious to the workmen. Mr. Stevens argued that to remove the tax on grain alcohol would be to ruin the wood alcohol business. George B. Bauer. representing the firm of J. C. Ayer dz Co, Of Lowell, Mass., read a paper in favor of the abolishment of the tax. His firm, he said, manufactured proprietary medicines. They were able to furnish these medicines to European and South American druggists cheaper than to American dealers. This was accom. plished by purchasing alcohol made in Germany from potatoes. This was brought in under bond and made up in the proprietary medicines for ex- port only. The tax on alcohol in this country prevented the medicines from being sold cheaper and within the reach ofthe poor.» Mr. Bauer ou gbt the government could easily be protected from all fraud by a rebate system.

J The appointment of Brigadier-Gen- eral George Haven of_New London, to the office of adjutant-general on Gov-. ernor Cooke’s staff yesterday, leaves vacant the brigadier-generalship, the head,under the governor, of the Na- tional Guard. There have been two candidates for this position, Colonel Russell Frost of the Fourth Regiment and Colonel Charles L. Burdett of the First. The appointment is made by the governor, and the Hartford Courant is authority forthe statement, that it was understood yesterday that Governor Cooke hnd notified friends of-Colonel Burdett, who applied to him, that he intended to appoint Colonel Frost, con- sidering that he was the senior in rank. ,- ( COLONEL RUSSELL FROST. The promotion of Colonel Frost to be brigadier-general will leave vacant the position of colonel of the fourth regi- ment. This vacancy will probably be filled by the promotion of either Major James Sheridan, of Bridgeport, or Ma- jor Charles W. Hendrie, of Stamford. It might be that Lieut-Col. James C. Crowe will be advanced to the colonel- cy, but this is not probable unless Lieut- Col. Crowe agrees to retire immediate- General—Louis Kn ‘ ly after being so promoted. to Died at Washington.
