particular in View other than working
hotels and livery-stable keepers. The
fellow has succeeded in getting his
board free at several hotels in the
vicinity of Waterbury, and besides has
helped himself to the teams that livery
stables afforded. He is described as a
smooth-spoken chap, with iron nerve
and a good supply of polite manners.

Assistant Postmaster Harry C.
.Mitchell received a telegram this
morning, announcing the death at the
National Soldiers’ Home at Hampton.
Va.._ of his father, George B. Mitchell,
in the 54th year of his age.

The deceased was a brother of Wil-
1iam Mitchell of this city, and at one
time was engaged in the butcher busi-
ness here.’ He was a war veteran. and
was familiarly known as “Lengthy”
Mitchell. He had scores of friends
who will regret to learn of his death.
Two sons survive him.

The Norwalk and South N orwalk
Electric Light company has a gang of
twelve men at work setting poles and
stringing wires from the local electric
plant to New Canaan, which place is
soon to enjoy the distinction of being
lighted by electricity.

Belden avenue, up Riverside avenue to
junction of street near the Kellogg res-
idence, thence north to Silver Mine,
then westerly to the Hoyt nurseries
and thence through Carter street to
the village.

This route will permit of the furnish
ing of power at several of the larger
residences in that burg.

The work will be pushed ahead as
rapidly as possible.

”It is possible that Owen Murphy, who
is held for the Supreme court on the
charge of throwing vitriol at Jennie
,Kinsella, last week, may be tried\on a

 

 

County Home on Westport avenue «at
present and the number has been slow-
ly increasing. The commissioners
some time ago made an interesting rul-
ing in the case of a one legged boy
whom they decline to receive at the
home. Threats of legal action to com-
pel them to do so were made but never
carried into effect, although the com-
missmners were desirous of having the
courts make a ruling.

They were of the Opinion that they
could not accept the boy. The county
maintains the institution under the law
as a temporary home for children. From
that home children are bound out to
service in private families. The ofiic-
ials thought the acceptance of a child
who was physically unable to work
simpl y meant that he was to be pro-
vided with a permanent home at the
expense of the county, and decided that
this was not the purpose of the county
home.

The lawyer who had charge of the
case threatened to begin legal proceed-
ings, claiming that any neglected and
dependent child should be received
there, but the case never materialized.

The home is now in excellent con-
dition and the new matron is proving
a competent official.

J. G. Bohannan, M. D., the venerable
father of theDrs. Bohannan of South
Norwalk and Stamford and the Mayors
of South Norwalk and Stamford, died
Tuesday morning at 11 a. m., at the
home of his son, Dr. Charles G. Boha'n-
nan, in South Norwalk. The state of
his health has been very unsatisfactory
for some time, and for the last two
weeks has been recognized as critical
and almost hopeless.

The deceased was a physmian and a
son of a physician, who in his time en-
joyed a large practice in his native
Virginia. At the opening of the war
he was prominent in the social and po-
litical affairs. as well as the profession-
al life, in Mathews County, almost
within sight of historic Yorktown. He
was opposed to secession, but when
that measure was adopted by the Vir-
ginia Legislature, he joined the mili-
tary service of the Confederacy, but in
a very short time responded to the re-
quest of the State authorities by devot-
ing his services to the medical depart-
ment of the army. In this position he
played a useful and honorable part
throughout the war in the ameliora-
tion of human suffering. He spent the
years of his old age in retirement from
active work, lately in the home of his
son Charles in South Norwalk, where
he was held in high regard and respect-
ed for the many generous and gentle-
manly qualities of his nature. The
sympathies of all who have the priv-
ilege of personal acquaintance with
the several bereaved families will go
out to them sincerely in this painful
afiiiction, the loss of an honored and
worthy parent.

ILISKIWUNIIIRY

Peeling in Waslfington That It
Should Be Fixed.

GOLD SEEKERS ANXIOUS

The Southeastern Linc,"l‘cn Murine
Leagues from the Coast, in Que--
tion—Famine and Fatal Sickness
Threaten Klondike Milners.’

Washington, Oct. 26.—It 'is believed
here that in view of the great promi—
nence Alaska has achieved owing to
the recent gold discoveries and the im-
portance of definitely fixing the boun-
dary line between Unlted States terri-
tory and that of the Dominion of Can-
ada that, the Senate, when it assem-
bles in December, will take early action
.ipon the treaty pending between Great
Britain and the United States fo‘r the
survey and marking of the 14lst merid-
-‘an. This treaty was sent to the . en-
ite almost two years ago.

The 14lst meridian marks the ea_ 'ern
boundary of Alaska down to ,thin
ten marine leagues of the so”thern
coast, where the line trends if,- 0 the
southeast, keeping that dista ’~e from
the coast. Concerning the list me-
ridian there is, of course, nd‘ contro-
versy between the Unith States and
Great Britain, but no basis of settle-
ment of the southeastern line has yet
oeen reached by the two countries.

The original treaty as sent to the
Senate, it is understood, was amended
or proposed to be amended, by Senator
Stewart so as to include "the settlement
3f the dispute relating to the south-
eastern line. If such an amendment
were insisted upon by the Senate, as
appears not unlikely will be the case,
xt is not at all certain that Great Brit-
ain would at present agree to the modi-
fication. The work of adjusting the
:‘lifl‘ictlties between the_two countries
regar 3ing the southeastern line has not
progressed for two. years. In 1893 each
Govvdmcnt appointed a commissioner
to survey the territory through which
this line runs, on; each made 1090-

grapliical maps of the country, which"

were submitted to 'Iiic respective Gov;
ernments Dec. 31, 1895. These com-
missioners, however, had no power to
propose a settlement; their work was
confined strictly to furnishing infor-
mation upon which subsequent negof
:iations could proceed. As no range of
mountains runs along the coast as was
assumed to be the case when the
ooundary line between Russia and
Canada was fixed, according to the
terms, the alternative proposition of a
line ten marine leagues from the coast
must mark the limit of United States
territory. But in the determination
many intricate questions are involved:
whether the coast line shall be assumed
to follow the sinuosities of; the shore
9r run from headland to headland; or
whether the line shall be considered to
run ten marine leagues to the interior
from the outer shore of the islands
which form a sort of archipelago along

'zhe coast. The Government officials who

rlave studied the question are confident
that our title includes the islands and
:en marine leagues of territory from
the coast line with all its sinuosities.

Should Be Settled Speedily.

Washington, Oct. 26.—Representative
Eddy, of Minnesota, who has just
reached Washington, talks earnestly
~egarding the Alaska boundary line.

“A subject,” he said, “which will de-
mand attention this Winter and which
should be settled, either by Congress or
the State Department, is the Alaskan
boundary line. This is a. very serious
matter, more serious than our people
generally realize, I think. By next
Summer there will be probably fifty
:housand Americans In the Klondike
region, and if something be not done
meanwhile towards'settling definitely
:he boundary question there is liable
to be serious trouble.

“The Canadian Government has un—
iertaken to tax these miners to death,
and the miners will not be willing, in
addition to this, to surrender to the
Canadian Government 30 per cent. of
the gold they gather, especially when
they believe that the very field they
are working is within the boundary of
the United States. With 50,000 men of
:his character resistance means a con-
iition of affairs alongside of which the
Riel rebellion will appear trifling.

“A very intelligent man, whom I
(now very Well, was the fourth pros-
pector to enter the Klondike region.
His properties there are of immense
value, and he has brought 'out $200,000
In gold. He predicts that the output
of gold next year _will be far' beyond
what the most exaggerated reports in-
dicate. This being the case, it is the
‘luty of this Government to take steps
it once to settle the boundary line be-
tween the Canadian and United States
possessions. The prospectors and men
who are familiar “withihat country
zlaim that about half of the Klondike
gold fields lie within the Alaskan
boundary line and belong to the United
States.”

Famine and Sickness in Dawson.

Victoria, B. C., Oct. 26.——Miners who
arrived on the steamer Farralon from
Dyea with about twenty thousand dol-
lars in gold, and who left Dawson City
about forty days ago, say that five
days before they left, Hansen, man-
ager of the Alaska Commercial Com-
pany, arrived in a canoe and said no
more food could get up the river. Fully
four hundred miners at once prepared
to leave, but the Citizens’ Committee
refused to allow them sufficient pro-
visions for the journey, so they had-to
remain and ‘share in the privations at
Dawson. ,

The miners report that a. mysterious
disease is carrying off about five‘men
daily. Twenty-four hours after the
victim is attacked he turns black from
waist to throat, and two days later, in
most cases, is dead.

Hon. Clifford Lifton, Minister of In-
terior, started yesterday over the Dyea
trail, accompanied by Maj. Walsh, the
admirlstrator of Klondike district,
mounted police and other officials. Mr.
Lifton will return by the Skaguay trail.

Mr. Pullman’s Will.

Chicago, Oct. 26.—The will of George
M‘. Pullman will be filed for probate

JAPAN_ AND HAWAII AGREE.

'l‘he Critical'l’oint In the Negotia-
tions Pas-ed.

Vlashington, Oct. 26.——News has been
received here that the differences be-
tween Hawaii and Japan, which
threatened to involve the United States
on account of the negotiation of the
treaty for the annexation of the is-
lands, haVe reached a. point where a.
satisfactory settlement is in sight. The
critical .stage in the proceedings has
passed and the Honolulu and Tokio
Governments are now engaged in an
amicable correspondence, free from the
tinge of bitterness which characterized
previous diplomatic notes.

At one time there was every reason
to fear that Japan would not agree to
a. settlement'by arbitration, but she
has disappointed those enemies of an-
nexation who hoped that trouble would
break out between the two countries
by acquiescing in the proposition of
Hawaii, said to have been made at the
suggestion of this country, to submit
the questions at issue to arbitration.

L. M. Thurston, former Minister of
Hawaii to the United States and one
of the Commissiners sent .to this coun-
:ry to negotiate an annexation treaty,
has returned to Washington from a
ecturing tour. He says that Japan’s
atest note to Hawaii on the subject of
the differences between them was most
:onclliatory and cordial, and he ex-
oected the matter to come to a head in
1 short time.

James B. Castle has been appointed
Secretary of the Hawaiian Legation in
Washington.

 

 

WARNING TO CATHOLICS.

Archbishop Cleary Fol-bids Them to
Attend Non-Catholic Marriages.

Ottawa, Oct. 26.—Archrbish0p Cleary
'ias created a sensation by his procla-
mation, in which he says:

“We hereby declare, with all the au-
thority of the Church vested in us as
Archbishop of Kingston and your chief
Jastor, that any Catholic in our metro-
politan city or diocese who shall here-
after presume to enter any non-Cath-
olic edifice to assist at what is termed
a marriage ceremony or service for the
dead, even though he should not take
any active part in the performance,

finders hinted? guilty of mortal sin

by dishonoring tnscrgligion of his ban-

lism and defying the Taivs\of_“the HOIY _
Church and giving pu'blic scandal be-

fore society. We furthermore reserve

to ourselves alone the power to absolve

from this heinous sin.”

The occasion for this mandate was
that of a recent m‘arriage in 3. Con-
gregational Church at which Catholics
were witnesses. His Grace also rep-
rimanded Catholics who attend a.
service for the dead in non-Catholic
churches, in view of the fact that the
performance is known and proclaimed
oy its participants as of no service to
the dead.

Cornell Dam Strike Settled.

New York, Oct. 26.—The strike on
the Cornell dam has been settled. The
workmen have won a signal victory
and returned to work this morning.

The Cornell dam will be one of the
most gigantic pieces of engineering
work in the world. It will cover thou-
sands of acres of land between two
hills and take in nearly all the tributa-
ries of the Croton River. The main
well consists of 200 feet of solid mason-
ry and will be built in such a manner
is to resist all freshets.

W'hen the dam is flooded it will con-.

CURING CONSUMPTION. ‘

hooky of Cooper Medical College
buy a Remedy Has Been Found.

_San Francisbo. on, Oct. 26,—Much
discussmn has been caused here by
the fact that the faculty of Cooper
Medical College declared that sixteen
patients have been saved from‘ con-
sumption by Dr. Joseph 0. Hirsch-
felder’s remedy. This cure is. oxtu-
.berculine, made from veal which has
been saturated with tuberculine.

Hirschfelder has been experimenting
three years to secure this lymph.

Among the patients whom he has
cured is Thomas H. Williams, Jr., the
wealthy horse-breeder. All the other
patients were carefully examined and
all were declared cured. Some were
far advanced in the disease when they
began the _ treatment. Oxtuberculine
is injected, and soon restores vitality
and heals the lungs.

official circles- here by’ the refusal of the,

cieved Prince Hohenlohe Sunday after-

ner, although the Chancellor and his
