The Norwalk Tramway Company is~ erecting dynamos and engines simi- lars to the ones now in use at the plant on Meadow street. This will give double the power the company now has. The engine used is 250 horse power. Therefore with a similar engine they will have 500 horse power. An East Norwalk resident who came up from Wilson Point on a Tramway car, last night, and was dropped ofi' at Haviland street with the notice, “this car does not go any further,” made the air blue in expressing his opinion of the way the company runs its road. After having his say he walked home to East Norwalk while the car. sped away to the barn.

LOUIS, J une .—-Both houses of the municipal assembly of St. Louis have adopted resolutions askln outside aid for the, tornado sufferers. T e appeal calls attention to the calamity which has be- fallen the city, rendering many artisans destitute and homeless, and asks for all the aid that can be sent. All donations are to be sent to the mayor or police commis- sion of 'St. Louis. This action Is not In accord with the position taken by the mayor In declaring that outside aid Is not needed. The loss of life in EastSt. Louis has assumed far less serious proportions as the days have "passed. ‘ Instead of being nearly 200, as Is claimed by many, the list of dead numbers 100 Identified, with tWO—a man and a woman —-unknown. In addition to this, one man Is missing, and eight are so severely In- jured that they will probably die. The known list of dead In St. Louis foots up 141 names, all of these bodies having been recovered. Besides this It Is known that 13 persons have been killed In the storm, 8 In the river, whose names are known, and 5 within this city, whose names are unkndwn. None of these bodies has been recovered. 0f the 141 dead bodies recovered in this city, bht one remains unidentified. The list of missing persons has diminished somewhat from the number reported Sun- day.

WASHINGTON, June 3.—'1‘hc indications are that the general deficiency appropria- tion bill will not receive the president’s signature, owing principally to objections to the items appropriating $1,500,000 for the payment of French spoliations and Bowman not claims.

SEVERAL asterias, or star stones, have been picked up in North Carolina. and Georgia. SAPPHIRES of small size but great brilliancy have been found in North Carolina. AN emerald green sapphire was some years ago found in Franklin coun- ty, N. C. THE California diamonds are general- ally very small, ranging in value from 810 to 850. IN 1884 the value of the precious stones mined in this country somewhat exceeded 630,000. EVERY precious stone known to the lapidary has been found within the limits of the United States. THE Spinel, often sold for the oriental ruby, has been found in New England, Virginia and North Carolina. RUBIES Of small size have been found in North Carolina and Virginia, and, it is claimed, also in Colorado and New Mexico. NORTH CAROLINA diamonds are usual- ly associated with itacolumite, or flexi- ble sandstone, quite plentiful in certain parts of that state. THE best crystals of topaz found in this country.._come from Colorado. In the Platte mountains one has been found weighing- 125 carats. CALIFORNIA diamonds are found in all the colors, from a. brilliant white to a clear black, together with rose, pink, yellow, blue and green.

Late one afternoon the past winter the manager of a. br'okeragefhouse in New York was preparing to go home, and had removal 3. coin from his trousers pocket to use for car fare When he discovered that he had left his cuffs in the Wardrobe in an adjoining room. He placed the coin on the top of his desk but was delayed on his return by a. clerk on a. matter of business. As a ,result the money remained on his desk after his departure. ' , He remembered the circumstance, however,when he reached his home,but concluded that the piece was. lost. Much to his great surprise, though, he found the quarter on the desk when he reached his office next morning. At least a dozen persons must have seen it lying there after his departure the night before. The ' circumstance impressed him deeply and he thought of it many times that day while in the battle for preference on the floor of the stock ex- change. When he started for home that night he purposely forgot the money and the next morning he was not surprised to find it still on the desk. With a few strokes-ofhis pen he made a. small sign bearing these words: “Honesty Fund” and placed it beside the quarter. Business kept him on the exchange most of that day, but when he started for home that night 10! the fund had grown to seventy-five cents. It was not touched that night and the next evening it had swelled to nearly two dollars. He had no idea as to what he would do with the money at the time, but he concluded that to longer let it remain exposed over night would be a severe temptation to some weak person and so he locked it up. Thereafter it was under lock and key at night, but was always exposed during business hours, but how it grew! Business friends, messengers from other houses, clerks and cus- tomers contributed to it, until at pres- ent it amounts to almost seventy-five dollars. The disposition of the money puzzled him for some time, but he cou- cluded to give a dinner to the employes as soon as it reached one hundred dol- lars. ' AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. Stanley Brought Some from the Dark Continent to a New York Man. Berthold N eumoegen, who died in New York the other day, was noted as an amateur entomologist and spent over twenty years in forming a. remark- able collection of over one hundred thousand rare and beautiful butterflies, says the Newark Times. This was his hobby and all his leis- ure was devoted to improving the col: lection. There are but two known col- lections in the world that excel in variety and number the one gathered by Mr. N eumoegen. One is in the p0..- session of the British museum, London, and the other is in Paris. This work was a. labor of love with Mr. N eumoegen, and he would spend hours in a ‘room on the top floor of his: residence, which contains the collec. tion, arranging and rearranging the beautiful specimens of the insect world, in which he took so much pride. He generally kept in stock an immense number of butterflies for the purpose of exchange, and these he kept apart from his collection, not one of which would he dispose of unless he felt cer- tain of being able to replace it. Butterfly collectors are continually exchanging specimens and Mr. Neu- moegen kept two men employed in re- ceiving and shipping- specimens. The largest shipment made by him was eight years ago, when he shipped twen- ty thousand butterflies to Europe. Livingstone, the great African ex- plorer, furnished Mr. N eumoegen with some of his rarest specimens. Others were furnished by Henry M. Stanley, Lieut. Schwatka and members of the Greely relief expedition. Among them were-abutterflies from Franklin bay, from the shores of Greenland, from Lakes Tanganyika. and Victoria Nyan- za, and from Labrador, Thibet, Alaska, China, Siberia, Turkestnn and Kamt- chatka and from the Himalayas and Rocky mountains and the Alps. OBJECTED TO BLOOMERS. Landlady Would Not Allow One of Her _, Boarders to Wear the Dress at Table. Hard and awful to contemplate are put up with—that is, that particular type of the new woman who doesn’t like to wear skirts and prefers knicker- ‘ the New York World. In England th boarding house landladies are very much aroused over the subject and are thinking of forming an association to rule out all women who wear what is known in the words of the day as “re.- tional dress.” In this country there is an interest- ing anecdote, with its'. scene laid in Ann . Arbor, Mich., relating to one of the col- lege girls who was very much “ad- vnnced.” . There was a. girl staying at one of the boarding houses in the village who persisted in wearing trousers that were more masculine even -than “bifurcated skirts.” This attire disturbed the land- lady intensely and in tearful tones she pleaded with the young woman to dis- card the distasteful garments. But the girl was put upon her mettle and re- sisted the landlady’s pleas until that wrathful individual came out with the following ultimatum: . “You cannot eat at my table and wear bloomers at, the same time.” It is not correct for the “new woman” to weep, and therefOre the knicker- bockered girl shed no tears. At the very next meal that was served, how'- ever, the other boarders noticed that she wore a. skirt. Immediately after dinner she took it off and five minutes later was seen parading down the streets in masculine garments once more. her point and bifurcated garments; are not at such a premium in , Michigan as ‘Ltheywerc. . . . the trials that the new woman has to' bockers at most times and places, says" But the landlady has carried White Metal Advocates Will Have a Majority In Chicago. FIVE HUNDRED DELEGATES. The New York Herald Says More Than That Number “’1“ Favor the Free Coinage of Silver In the Dem- ocratic Convention. NEW YORK, June. 3.—Reports received by telegraph from New York Herald cor- respondents in all parts of the Unltod; States show that a majority of the dele- gates to the Democratic national conven- tion In Chicago will advocate the adoption of a platform In favor of the free coinage of silver. 9 The complete victory of the all- ver men In Kentucky seemed to show that the sentiment In favor of the white metal Was growing among the Democrats In states which have heretofore been regard ed as for the gold standard. In order that the real sentiment of the Democrats throughout the country might be known The Herald Instructed Its correspondents In every state and territory to telegraph brief summaries of the sItuatlon, and the result of this poll of the states Is shown in this table: How the States Stand.

Oregon Goes Republican. PORTLAND, 0n, J un'c 3.—Oreg‘on has gone Republican by a large plurality. On the only test of strength throughout the state—for supreme court justice—Bean (Rep) Is elected by a large plurality, with Gaston (Pop) second. The Republican vote is not lessened, but the Populist vote has Increased with the aid of the Dem- ocrats. The Democrats have apparently voted strongly for free silver with a view of securing such advocates In congress. It is probable that Thomas H. Tongue of Hillsboro (Rep). with free silver predilec- tions, has been elected congressman from the First district. Congressman Ellis, Republican free all- ver candidate for congress In the Second district, has undoubtedly been elected, though by a decreased plurality. Ex—Governor Sylvester Pennoyer has been elected mayor of Portland city, de- feating Silas Cohen, (Rep) and General Beebe (Ind. ). May Be Silver, Says Harrlty. CHICAGO, June 3.——William M. Harrity, chairman of the Democratic national com- mittee, is here attending the meeting of the subcommittee looking after arrange- ments for the copventlon. Discussing the financial situation In the national conven— tion, Mr. Harrlty said: “I believe a fairly amicable adjugtment 'of the Issue will be reached. It Is possible the free silver element will have a mhjor- ity sufficiently large to control the con- vention. No. I do not look for a split. In fact, I am. satisfied there wIll be non'e. Democrats as a general thing recognize the right of the majority to rule, and they are willing to accept the résijlt. Furthdr- more, I feel that the St. Longs convention . will have the effect of clarl ying the at- mosphere a good deal for us. We can judge better then what we want to do.” Democracy’s Convention Hall. CHICAGO, June 3.—-All the members or the national Democratic committee who attended the opening performance of Buf- falo Bill’s Wild West show were highly pleased with the acoustic properties of the convention ‘bullding.
