Mrs. James E. Ells died at her home
in Broad River, Saturday, aged 67
years. The maiden name of the

accompanied her husband here from
Waterbury several years since, and
won the esteem and friendship of all
with whom she became acquainted.
She was her husband’s helpmeet in
the strictest sense of the word, a
woman among the best of women; a
kindly wife, a loving mother, and a
neighbor whose loss cannot be easily
filled. Her husband and three chil-
dren survive her.
About 10 o’clock Saturday night, the
pier at Roton Point, to the ordinary
observer, was deserted, but this was
by no means the fact, as later events
proved.
At about that hour a splash was
heard'in the water, and at the same
time two persons were seen rushing
frantically towards the hotel near by.
They were met by Victor W. Ferris
to whom they explained that a man
and woman had fallen overboard.
“Vic’I’ advised them to continue on
their way and secure a rope. In the
meantime he dashed down to the pier
and without ado jumped overboard and
succeeded in reaching the man and
woman both of whom were calling for
help.
He managed, being an expert swim-
mer. in keeping both heads above the
water until assistance arrived, and with
the aid of a rope which he managed in
getting about the victims of, the acci
dent, both were pulled ashore.
But for the reporter’s prompt action
both would now probably be fit sub-
jects for the care of an undertaker.
The stories as to how the accident
happened are conflicting and not
worthy of repetition. ' . »

’1 he latest device of burglars in town

lives with his wife at No. 21 Cottage
avenue in East Norwalk. In the same
house a man by the name of Fred

The house is a two-story cottage with
a kitchen extension in the rear.
About 1 o’clock Saturday morning
two men climbed upon the low roof of
the kitchen and attempted to gain an
entrance into the house through the
bath room window.
They made considerable noise onthe

jumped off and hurried to the street
where an open wagon was standing.
The wagon was provided with

were muffled, and the turnout and men

ADMIRAL SAMPSON’S REPORT. ..
Bo Extoln the Bravery of Robson and
‘ Ills Men.
Washington, June 13.-—The navy de-
partment has posted the following bul-
letin giving a detailed. official report
from Admiral Sampson upon the hero-
ism of Lieutenant Hobson and his men
in sinking the Merrimac in the Santi-
ago channel: . , “
United States Flagship New York,
Off Santiago, June 3, 1898.
Permit me to call your special at-
tention to Assistant Naval Constructor
' Hobson. As stated in-a special tele-
gram before com-ing here; I decided to
make ‘the harbor entrance secure
against the possibility of egress by
Spanish ships, by obstructing the nar-
row part of 'the entrance by sinking a
collier at that point.
Upon calling upon Mr. H-obson for
his professional opinion as to a sure
method of sinking the ship, the man-i-
problem. After several days’ consider-
ation he presented a solution which he
thought would insure the immediate
sinking ofgthe ship when she reached
the desired point in the channel. This
plan we prepared for execution when
we reached Santiago. The plan con-
templated a crew of only seven men
and Mr. Hobson, who begged that it
might be intrulsted to him. The anchor
chains were arranged on deck for both
the anchors, forward and aft, the plan
including the anchoring of the ship al-
most automatically.. ‘
As soon as I reached‘Santiago and
had the collier to work upon, the de-
tails were completely and diligently
prosecuted, hoping to complete them i.
one day, as 'the moon and tide served
best the first night after our arrival.
Notwithstanding every effort, the hour
of 4 o’clock in the morning arrived and
the preparations were not completed.
After a. careful inspection of the final
preparations, 1 was forced to relinquish
the plan for that morning as dawn was
breaking. Mr. Hobson begged to try
it at all hazards.
as a prompt start could be made. Noth-
ing could have been more gallantly ex-
ecuted. We waited impatiently ‘after
the firing by 'the Spaniards had ceased.
When the men did not reappear from
the harbor at 6 o’clock‘I feared that
they had all perished. A steam launch,
which had been sent in charge of Na-
peared at this time, coming out under
a persistent fire from the batteries, but
brought none of the crew. A careful.
inspection of 'the harbor from this ship
showed that the Merrimac had been
sunk in the channel. ‘
This afternoon the ,chief of staff of
Admiral Cervera came out under a flag
of truce with a letter from the admiral
“extolling the bravery of the crew in an
unusual manner. I cannot myself too
earnestly [express my appreciation of
the conduct of Mr. Hobson and his gal-
lant crew. I venture to say that 3.
been done since Cushtng blew up the
Albemarle. ‘
Referring to the inspiring letter
which you addressed to the officers at
the beginning of the war, I am sure
you will offer a suitable professional
reward to Mr. Hobson and his compan-
lOnS.. - ..-..» '
I must add that Commander J. M.
Miller relinquished his command with
the very greatest reluctance, believing
he would retain his command under all
circumstances. He was, however, final-
ly convinced that the attempt of 'an-
other person to carry out the multitude
of details which had been in prepara-
tion by Mr. Hobson. might endanger its
proper execution. I therefore took the
liberty to relieve him for this- reason
only. -
There were hundreds of volunteers
who were anxious to participate; there
were 150 from the Iowa, nearly as
many from this ship, and large num-
bers from all the other ships, officers
and men alike.

THE LEITER FAILURE.
A New Phase in the Proceedings Has
Developed. '
. Chicago, June 15.—The Leiter matte:
has taken on a new phase and one
which seems to make the outlook much
less threatening. At a conference yes-
terday, attended by a number of peo-
ple heavily interested in 'the deal, P. D.
Armour agreed to take over the entire
cash wheat holdings of Leiter, amount-
ing to about 7,000,000 bUShels. Armour
Monday consented to take over about
4,000,000 bushels of this wheat, but an-
nounced yesterday that he had decided
to carry the remaining 3,000,000 bush~
els as well. C-ounselman & Co., it is
understood, will take charge of the
September trades.
This action on the part of Armour
simplifies the situation greatly. It was
at first proposed to appoint a trustee
to-handle Leiter’s wheat, but it is be-
lieved that this will not now be neces-
sary. With the wheat in Armour’s
hands there is little danger of its be-
ing shaken out and coming on the mar-
ket in a lump.
The banks that have loaned money
to Leiter areunderstood to be well
satisfied with this arrangement, and as
most of the loans are protested down to
about 80 cents, the chances are that
none of them will lose anything in the
final windup.
Leiter’s losses are variously estimat-
ed at from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000, but
There is no way
of getting at even an approximately
correct amount. That he will lose a.
round sum is certain, but there is a.
possibility, in view of yesterday’s de-
velopments, that it Will fall" below the
minimum figure given above.

Yokohama. June 13,—The diet has

jection of the government’s proposals

The First and Foremost Rule is Never to
Smoke Before Breakfast.
Generalarzt Dr. Scholer publishes a
collection of {‘Hints for Smokers,”
which are founded, as the Doctor
states, upon his professional observa-
tions for. many years of the mouth,
teeth, stomach, lungs, heart and skin
of the devotees of tobacco. The first
and foremost rule is never to smoke
before breakfast, nor, as a rule, when
the, stomach is empty; this custom is
‘the worst possible foe of digestion.
Never smoke during any exertion of
great physical energy, as dancing,
running, cycling, mountain-climbing,
or rowing, and especially if in a con-
test. Never follow “the bad custom of
the French and Russians” by alloWing
the. smoke to pass through the nose;
never inhale it through the nose.
Keep the smoke as far as possible
from the eyes and nose; the longer the
pipe the better; the use of a short pipe
during work is to be avoided. A pipe
is the most wholesome form of smok-
ing, a cigar the next, a cigarette the
worst. Always throw away your cigar
as soon as you have smoked four-fifths
of it; the last.end.of it is the most
hurtful, in cauda veneuum, the poison
lurks in the tail. All cigarettes are
bad, but Eastern cigarettes the worst,
for they are almost always compound-
ed with some degree cf opium. The
smoker ought to rinse out his mouth,
not only before every meal and before
going to bed at night, but several times
during the day. The best rinse for
the smoker is a glass of water in which
a teaspoonful of table salt has been
dissolved. It should be used as a guru-
vazl Cadet Powell to rescue the men, ap-‘
more brave and daring thing has not
This morning proved more propitious.
I gle at night, and care should be taken
ithat every cavity in the teeth is well
-washed with it. The pipe’s proper
iplace is in the hand, and only occa-
sionally in the lips or teeth.
