The price of coal has been advanced
again, just at the time when the need
of fires begins to make itself felt.
There is no good reason for an increase
now. It is the wanton action of the
men who control the coal supply in
putting up the-price at'the time of need
that leads many people to look to Con-
gress for relief from an intolerable
monopoly. The edert to secure the
passage of a bill for the free admission ;
of. coal was a failure last winter, {but
doubtless another attempt will be made
during the present session to put a curb
upon the corporations engaged in coal
production.
It is reported that Chairman Wilson,
who now has the tariff revision bill
under consideration, is determined to
let in foreign coal free, despite the ap-
peals for protection fr‘Om his own coal
State, and for the very purpose of curb-
ing the rapacit-y of the coal barons of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
‘An index of Better Times.
There is a promise, locally at least we
think, of better times ahead in the
statements of our three city banks,
as published in the GAZETTE of Friday.
Take these figures of. the respective

couragement in the business outlook :

The Slayer of Cats.
In New York city Wednesday even- 7
ing, Sarah J. Edwards was arrested
with six dead cats in her possession and
locked up on the charge of cruelty to
animals. Sarah is a member of the
“Midnight Band of Mercy,” reference
to which was made in these columns
Tuesday. She said in three years she
had given 5,000 cats chloroform and
their quietus.
Probably the most entertaining part
of the story‘of Sarah’s arrest and im.
prisonment is to be found in her ex-
tenuating recital of the reasons 'why
she makes war upon the poor cats. She
said that no cat had a right to be on the
street after8 o’clock. As it was 9:05
when Sarah was apprehended the fact
that her ambulance, or rather basket,
contained the bodies of six dead cats,
was pretty conclusive evidence that she
had been attentive to her duties as she
understood them—namely, to lay out
stiff and cold all the cats she could find
running the streets after the hour
specified.
Perhaps we may be wrong, remarks
the New Haven Palladium, but it seems
that something akin to a warning to
people who make night hideOus may
be found in these cats’ fate. But it
may be that the “Midnight Band of
Mercy” of New Haven will not be so
condsiderate as its sister organization
in. the metropolis is. Sarah showed
her mercy to the cats by chloroforming
them.

Two Cities in One Town.
Probably nowhere else in New Eng-
land is there another instance of two
cities within the limits of one town, as
there is at Norwalk. South Norwalk
city, in the southern part of the town,
was chartered several years ago,and the
new city of Norwalk takes the place of
the Norwalk borough government for
the northern section of the town,‘about
two miles distant—Hartford Times.

Benjamin Bulkley of Southport against
her husband for an order that the plain-

child and for alimony. The amount of
alimony has not yet been specified.

afurore in aristocratic circles during
the last session of the superior court.
The Ferris it Ferris divorce case
which was a sensational one at the last
term will also come up again on a
motion for further bonds of prosecution.

A Bishop By December.
All that is necessary now for the ap-
pomtment of a bishop to fill the vacant
me of the Hartford diocese is the action
of the consistory of cardinals and his
Holiness Pope Leo XIII. at Rome.
The _consistory- will probably meet
within a month’s time, and it is expect-
ed that the Pope will appoint as the
consistory recommends. Archbishop
Williams will be notified at once by
cable and he in turn will communicate
by Wire with the chosen man. » It now
looks as though the Hartford diocese
will have a bishop before or by Decem-
her first. .
_As to whom the next bishop will be is
still_a matter of much conjecture and
gossip. Those professing to know any-
thing of the matter will not talk to the
press. _ It would seem, however, that
the priests of the diocese anticipate the
appointment of an outside man. It is
altogether possible that a bishop of an-
other diocese will be transferred to oc-
cupy this widowed see. Some of the
priests believe that this will be the case.

Good Prospects for a Great
Contest.
Indications of Strong “find and
Heavy Sea—Vigilant Still the Fa-
vorite in Spite of‘ Her Bad Showing
But the Valkyrie Has Many Friends.
NEW YonK, Oct. 7. ---All day yesterday
the black champion of England and the
white champion of America lay peacefully
anchored near each other of}? the Atlantic
yacht club house at Bay ridge. The crews
rested and quiet reigned on board. The
starting time of the race to—day is set for
11:25 o‘clock. The prospects for wind are
good and there are prospects of a heavy
sea outside the bar, due to the easterly
wind which was blowing yesterday and in-
creasing the old swell which made the ex-
cursion boats pitch and roll.
Mr. Iselin has requested, if there was
not a prospect of finishing the race to-
day within the specified time limit of six
hours, that the Valkyrie be signalled by
the regatta committee and asked to con-
sent to a postponement of the contest.
On the stock exchange the Vigilant was
the favorite yesterday despite her per-
formance of Thursday. Very many
brokers saw the contest, and all attributed
her trouble to bad handling. They are
confident that a change for the better in
this respect will be. made before to—day’s
race is sailed, and are willing to risk .their
money on her.
On the maritime exchange and the pro-
duce and cotton exchanges as well the
Valkyrie seemed to have more supporters
than the Vigilant.
STATE OF TRADE.
Bradstreet Reports a Slight Improve-
ment in Business.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Bradstreet’s to—day
says: “Slightly more cheerful reports from
leading southern trade centres, largely due
to a freer movement of cotton and the ad‘
vance in price of that staple, coupled with
more numerous advices of improved trade
distribution at western and northwestern
centers, constitute the principal points of
interest in telegrams to Bradstreet’s this
Week. Trade was interrupted at New
Orleans and Mobile by the disastrous gulf
storm early in the Week, but late advices
are to the effect that staple crops have not
been materially damaged. There is a very
general report of slightly improved collec-
tions frOm the south, coupled with the
statement that October 1 settlements havo
been fairly well met.

trians along the road. In the streets of

starts for home is timed to reach Fried-
richsruh at 10:40 o’clock this evening.

LONDON, Oct. 7.—-Tho Tablet, the most
influential Roman Catholic weekly in
Great Britain, will say: “Events now
transpiring in Italy render the pope’s posi-

unstable to make her a safe guardian of
the venerable person of the pope or of the
monuments which "are the sacred heritage
of the Catholic world.

An interesting’ Letter.
The following letter contains much
that Will be of great benefit to many of
our readers : .
HIRAM, 01110, 1892.
Dr. David Kennedy .' .
DEAR SIB :-—I am 60 years old and
generally played out, or so I have
thought up to two weeks ago when I
commenced the use of Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. Since then
I have experienced a decided change.
For the last twenty yearsI have been
more or less troubled with .infiamma-
tion of the bladder and kidneys, and as
the years have gone by, I have surely
and gradually grown worse until I
should not have been surprised at any
time that passing urine by nature’s
effort would cease. ,
‘ Besides having constant pain in the
kidneys and bladder, I have had rheu-
matic pain in every muscle and _JOint,
and have Often remarked that I'dld not
believe that there was a man living that
had suffered as much as I had. I am
notof an enthusiastic nature, instead I
am rather a doubter, but I must say I
have not for a single day in five years
felt as well in every way as I do now.
Have improved daily since Ibegan the
use of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Reme-
dy. About a week ago I gave a man
afflicted with bladder trouble, part ofa
bottle of Favorite Remedy and he said
to me to-day, “that is agreat medicine;
I am better already,” and he drove ‘
eight miles to get a bottle. Very re-
spectfully yours, S. I. YOUNG.

SHOCKING SUICIDE.
A Harvard Student Thursts His Head
Into a. Furnace.
Bosrou, Oct. 7.—Joseph Cornelius, a
divinity student of Harvard, met with a
shocking death, self-inflicted, in the Massa-
chusetts general hospital recently. Two
weeks ago he developed symptoms of a
serious illness, which was attributed to
the mental strain superinduced by his over-
zealousness in the pursuit of his studies.
He was found to be wandering in his mind -
and to be sufiering tram .a severe attack
of typhoid fever. He was taken to the
hospital for treatment and no fears were
entertained that he would not recover.
There was nothing to indicate a. suicidal
tendency, and the first that was shown of
his state of mind was a week ago, early
Monday morning, when his inanimate
body was found in the boiler-room, where
he had sought death by thrusting his
head into the furnace. His injuries were
so great that all attempts to bring him to
consciousness proved unavailing, and he
died soon afterwards. Superintendent
Pratt, from an inquiry, found no blame to
attach to the nurses and others in charge
of the patient. .
Mr. Cornelius was 25 years old and was
a native of Slatersville, N. C. From there
he entered the divinity school three years
ago. Last year he was graduated, and
he continued in college this year in a
special cburse. The news of the young
man’s death created general sorrow among
the coliegians, by whom he was long
recognized as a most exemplary gentle-
man, one whom everybody respected.
