THURSDAY. AUGUST 1‘. 1884.
Solon Chase. made famous by "them
steels.“ and his adherence to the Green-
back party. has come out for Blaine and
Logan. -
Gov. St. John's ought to be the startl-
ing campaign biography of all. if this re-
sume be correct: “He ran away from his
father in Kansas at the age of 12; was a
husband at 10 and a widower at 20: be-
came one of the rough-and~tumble pio-
neers of the California gold diggings.
and once ran inn-footed over ice and
frozen ground for two days with an
anxious party of Indians after him:
started for South America and was
wrecked without clothes or coin among
the Sandwich Islands; turned up as a
country lawyer in Illinois; served in the
unity through the war and got the rank
of colonel. and finally "struck it“ in the
rum politics of Kansas.
Butler entering the canvass just as he
did has very materially upset the calcu~
lations as to the result of the presiden-
tial election. The figurers of both the
Republican and Democratic parties. how-
ever. an equal to the emergency. and
are making it appear that his entering
the race will work to the benefit of both
Blaine and Cleveland. This is an impos-
sibility. of course. but a politician who
cannot turn eyery development in a
presidential canvass to the account of
his candidate is too honest for the busi-
ness. Butler has the advantage of nomi-
nation by two parties and a host of per-
sonal admirers. His canvass will add to
“It is.“ said Mr. Blaine at the Bowdoin
college commencement. “the age when I
find the napkin before me on the table
made of the same material as the car
wheel on which I rode down from An-
gusta this morning. namely, paper.“
Upon this the Chicago Rambler cleverly
comments: “This was Mr. Blaine‘s way
of defining progress. civilization, and the
advancement of learning. He was quite
right, however; there is no doubt this is
a great ‘paper age.‘ “'e fight on ‘paper,‘
we are rich on ‘paper.‘ we raise money
on 'paper.‘ we propose marriage on ‘pa~
per.‘ and if cremation comes into vogue
our funeral pyre will be lighted with a
u
‘paper.‘ ' ___’__

The Republican candidates for gover-
nor are numerous. but they may as well
settle down to the fact that ex-Lieuten-
ant Governor Bulkeley is the lucky man.
The Hartford managers insist that as he
stood in the fatal break two years a .

year, when the election will depend less
on personal pularity than national is-

The Earthquake of 1840.
Old residents of this city have a vivid
remembrance of a severe earthquake
shock which occurred on Sunday. August
0. 1840. during the afternoon service in
the churches. A prominent cltiaeii
states that at the time of the shock he
was sitting on the bank of a brook. near
the nt location of the Union depot.
The surface of the water was sensibly
agitated. producing numerous small
ripples. 0n returning home .be was told
that the congregation bad rushed out of
the Center church. The Connecticut
Oourant of August 15. 1840. contains the
following:
“A smart shock of an earthquake was
felt in this city and vicinity on Sunday
afternoon. about four o‘clock. It was
accompanied by a low rumbling noise
and a report like a heavy clap of thunder.
and its duration was from fifteen to
twenty seconds. Our buildings were 8"“
very much shaken. and considerable
alarm was manifested. In one of the
churches a part of the congregation
rushed into the street."
The following is from the Norwich
Aurora of Wednesday.
Last Sabbath at, 4 o‘clock in the after-
noon this place was visited by a slight
shock of an earthquake. A heavy rum.
bling sound. ap ntlv in the direction
of northeast an southwest. continuing
about 20 seconds. The shock was so
severe as to ja e buildings and create
a trembling motio of the earth. Sim-
ilar effects were observed several miles
south of this pl .“
The Cou of the following week.
August 2‘. . has a considerable lengthy
extract f m the, Congregational 0b~
server. fro h~ it appears that the
shock was very generally felt through.
out Connecticut and central Massacliu~
sette. being cs ially marked in the
neighborhood 0 Worcester. The motion
of the earth was “thought by some to
roceed from E. to W“ and by others
rom N. E. to S. W.” In Hartford "the
atmosphere was unusuall serene and
clear.‘ The editor of the bserver was
not disposed to believe there had been a
genuine earthquake visitation. but felt
inclined to attribute the shock to the ex-
plosion of a meteor. lie citu several au-
thorities in support of this view. The opin~
ion of the public at large. however. as re-
fiected in t e columns of the Courant and
Times. did not sustain this theory. and
there is no doubt that the shock experi~
enoed fourty-four ears ago last Sunday
afternoon was of t e same nature as our
recent visitation.
THE IIOl’SATllN 1C BRIDGE
A Structure to Cost tli Consolidated Road
lsmxuoo
Only a few weeks have passed since
the announcement that the llousatonic
river railroad bridge was unsafe for the
great strain to which it was subjected.
and that a new one would soon take its
place was made. Today the many
trains of the New York division of the
Consolidated road are passing over the
temporary wooden structure which is to
do service until the new bridge is com-
pleted. This temporary bridge is about
twenty feet north of the iron bridge and
the approaches to it are over the road-
bed used for a similar purpose when the
present bridge was built. It is known.
in the language of bridge builders. as a
s ion-back bridge. owing to the fact that
t e center is much lower than the ends.
The temporary structure is supplied with
what is termed a jack‘knife draw and is
onwhalf the length of that of the iron
bridge, its hinge resting on a temporary
ll“. 1!. is raised by immense pulle '
locks and ropes forming a fall. Wit
the completion of the temporary bridge.
work has begun upon the main bridge.
Its entire length from shore to shore is
about 1.100 feet. and when completed
the bridge will contain nearl 2.500 tons
of iron. The Edgmoor wor s of Phila-
delphia have the contract. and the cost
wil be something like 3200.000 for the
work above the lore. The draw. which
is said to be the ongeet and most grace-
ful in New En land. is 808 feet long and
wei he over tons. The draw is known
as t e return draw in distinction from a
revolver. The revolving draw always
moves in one direction. whirling com-
plainly] around. while the return draw
turns ut half way and then reverses its
motion. The new bridge will be ready
for trains by November 1.

Views on the Earthquake.
Speakin of the arthquake Professor
James D. Ghee of Yale said: “There is
nothing beneath us of a volcanic nature
that can occasion such a disturbance.
We have come to the conclusion that
the earth in this section is pretty well
solidified. It mi ht have been a alippin
of the rocks. onset of the earth
in a condition of strain all the time. and
the shock today might have been in the
t rocks of t e earth. where one por-
tion slipped b the other. But there can
be nothing he ow us that can cause dan-
ger. There has not been in this section
any considerable disturlnnce since East
and \Veet Rocks were thrown up. This
was in the fire period of the world‘s his-
tory. I wish we might get more of the
shocks so that their features might be
observed.“
Professor Silliman says such phenom-
ena can only be conjectured. but it is
pretty well understood by the astrono-
mers and physicists that there is a close
relation between this present atmosphere
and these disturbances. There has not
been a clear blue sky during the summer.
The red sunsets and sunrises indicate
that the air is char with fine dust
thrown up by these isturbances.
The oldest Ballroasl Ian.
Richard N. Dowd. commissa of the
New York. New Haven and l artford
railroad. is the oldest railroad man in
Connecticut. having commenced Sep-
tember 1st. 1841. as station agent at
Meriden. from which place he was trans.
ferred to Belle Dock. New Haven. From
there he entered the service of the Barb
ford. Providence and I-‘iehkill railroad.
When the New Haven and New London
railroad was opened he became its super
intendent. At first. trains only ran to
the Connecticut river. but a ferry~boat
was purchased to transfer the passengers
across the Connecticut river. and then
the road was extended to New London.
While the late Hon. H. P. Ha do was
president of the New London orthern
railroad. Mr. Dowd left the shore line to
become superintendent of the New Lon-
don. Willimantic and Palmer railroad.
which position be filled until he became
the purchasing agent of the New York.
New Haven and Hartford railroad.
which office he still holds. On the let of
next month he will have spent forty
three years in the railroad service.

what a young man with smiling count-
enance. in the ssleeroom of a cam ign

with one accord we began to wonder
what we had eaten at supper that should
cause such dire dietreu. We remem~
bered that certain articles of food never
didagree with us. and we loudly ex-
pressed our regret at having partaken so
reely of these compounds. Again. the
captain assured us that a change of
water was apt at times to render our di-
gestiveorgane unruly. Finally. about
9 p.m.. when off New Haven. we gent]
slid down below and prepared to seek
nature's sweet restorerasa panacea for
all our woes. It' was touching to wit-
ness the solicitude shown by the judge
and commodore. and their earnest wish
that we should retire and get a good
nights rest. and the last sounds that
tedour ears were the kind smur-
ances that after a gtiod nights repose. we
would be all right. How rudely our
dreams were disturbed. and our sensi-
tive natures shocked almost into a state
bordering upon insanity. will form the
subject of another leaflet. sutliw it to
any. that we were soon to learn that a
man may smile and smile. and be a
villain still.
