Deep Water to Disappear
MILFORD. March 30.-'l‘he mystery
surrounding the sinking of the schoo-
ner Sylvester Hale on Charles island
on the afternoon of February 13, bids
fair to remain unsolved unless the
parties most interested in her finan-
cially should take the matter up and
investigate it. thoroughlly.
0n the afternoon in question. and it
was one of the coldest of this cold
winter, the oyster steamers Loretta,
Captain Prior. and ithe- William A.
Cummings. Captain Albert Baldwin,
were working on. the. grounds of the
Morwin Oyster Company. off Milford.
(The slums of the oyster a more were
attracted to a fleet of four big barges
in ton of the the big tug Patience. At
the- tail of the tow was trailing a
schooner “with sails set. low in the
water and bearing evidence of having
Malacollislcn. Her. headgear was on
deck and her iibboom had been carried
away. She was loaded down with ice
forward and there was no indication
that any part of her crew was 09
board.‘ Wheaoff Charles island the.
Patience anchored her tow and took
the Hale in behind the island. where
she was stripped of her sails. anchors
chains and other movable gear. The
oysters steamers mentioned stood by
to render assistance if necessary. but
as their services were not asked for.
they continued into Milford harbor and.
the episode as far as they were con-
cerned was ended. After removing
the r of the Halo, she was again
how _ outside and a short time after
unusual: in five or six fathoms of wa-
ter. Last week the wreck was blown
up by order of the Lighthouse depart-
meet.
The Hole carried a cargo of 150 tons
of coal. which is a total loss. Her
crew "lav-apposed to have escaped to

asked about the whereabouts of the
Halo. reported meeting her and that
she was probably down near Brauford
by that time.
There are plenty of good places in
the neighborhood of Charles island
to beach a vessel and there was plenty
of time to have placed her where she
and her cargo would have been safe.
it is asserted that there was also
plenty of time to have taken her into
Milford harbor. if there was not wa-
‘ tor enough for the big tug to venture
in. there were iiIc two oyster steamers

iwas ibc proporty of Staples and Ships,

‘of a famous sailing match on the
Sound when she won the championship
from the schooner G. A. Haydon. of
Haddom. After a few brushes up and
down the Sound the owners of the
Haydon got the notion that she could
beat the Hale. This was 20 years ago.
The course was from Sands Point
down the Sound and the Halo showed
her opponent. her stern before many
miles and been pailsed. The owners of
the Halo pocketed 81.000 and proclaim-
ed. theVHsle the mistress of the Sound;
which title she was never called upon-
to defend again.
The Hale was blown up under gové
emmeat- direction last week and her
shattered timbers with her cargo of
150 tons of coal lie in five or six fa~
thoms of water. it is possible that
some enterprising wrecker may some
time get part of her cargo. but the
good old Hale. the ancient “Queen of
the Sound " is gone forever.

has tallen on the importance of a
state agricultural college. although the
long standing contention is that it is
not state institution. The Congress-
nafgrsnt of money to the state for
agricultural purposes some years ago
was the basis of a suit of the Sheffield
Scientific School of Yale University
against the State. resulting in a com-
promise payment of $125. 000 to the
plaint.ii‘t and the removal from that
school to the Stem School of the
students whose tuition was paid by
the state out of the Congressional
grant. and relieving the Sheffield

er bills relating in a general way to
Igricultural matters.
The agricultural interests of Con-
necticut though not paramount in a
commercial sense are growing impor-
tent. The intelligent cultivation of
the ground shows year by year great
er possibilities for mu soil. and scien-
tiflc gardening. dairying and approved
methods of pomolosy give encourage-
mapper great prosperity to those. who
trim in those pursuits.
I have given thought fdr several
years. and recently have made more
particular investigation into the ones
tion of what. the state of Connecticut
can do to foster‘thc spirit and pl‘ac-
tier: of husbandry. The state has an
agricultural school or college. as to
men are in disagreement. and also an
agricultural experiment station of
greater practical and general value.
The state’s official forces number a
iomestic animal commission and a
dairy commission. This general as-
sembly has under consideration the in-
stitution of a bee culture commission
and there are various other official and
unofficial boards and organisations
within the state allied to its agrarian
industries. The state's agricultural
college is seriously handicapped by
its unfortunate location and is inca-
pnble of performing that, much greater
service to the people which would be
possible were it situated nearerthe
center of population and adjacent to
railway facilities. The college is not
only isolated in n remote spot, fit
rathg‘ for an asylum or reformatory.
but it is not enabled to attract friends
and, students by its inaccessibility.
The mutual help which would be
possible were the state‘s agricultural
experiment station and college more
closely bound by‘ location is largely
lost. The sympathy in work and help
fulncss of suggestion that comes from
frequent lnterchances of opinion.
theory and experience, is not possible
in the case of the scientific research
work carried on in both places now by
men of enthusiastic and self-sacrificing
purposes. Were. they enabled to meet
together in one institution, made
broaderand greater by consolidation.
the value to the state of such an instlc
tution would be vastly. greater. The

The Reeiiy important Work Donn—A
Great Piece of Skilled Work
Accomplished.
The work of stringing the wires and
_ adjusting the braoee of the overhead
portion of the electrification of the
New Haven road. between Stamford
and New York, hesi' lbout been com-
pleted. with the exception of a iew‘
miles lust west of Hsmmneck star
tion, where there appears to be some
friction between the trustees of the
village and the railroad authorities.
The work of boring the rails and
putting in connecting cables, known
as “bards" was accomplished long
ago, and the only remaining work of
preparation now is the running of the
feed and signal wires which will oc-
cupy the positions on the moss arms
just above the bridge truss on each
standard. This done, the electricity
will be turned on at the great power
house at Cos Cob and the new electric
mogul will begin its cameras 2. fac-
tor in transportation.
The power house, referred to above.
has been in readiness for some time
and everything has been thoroughly
tested and found correct; therefore. in
a word, the people along the line be-
tween Stamford and New York may
expect at almost any moment after
the first of April to see a train, pulled
by an electric engine. go gliding noise-
lessiy along the rails. and the change
in motive power from steam to elec-
tricity on the New Haven will have
been accomplished.
