One of the visitors to Secretary Sherman during the morn- , ing was Archbishop Ireland. 0 o .0 Acommittee from the Cigarmaker’s International Union, headed by J. J. Lynch, of Chicago, and F. F. Tracy, of Boston, is in Washington. The union enrolls about 150, 000 people, and has made a formal protest against the changes in the duties on tobacco, as made in the Dingley bill, claiming that they will deprive many workers of em- ployment by causing a larger proper. iion of the cigars consumed in the United States to be0 made abroad. Representative Heatwole. of Minne- sota, has introduced a resolution for a banking and currency commission, Which is in line with the recommenda-' tions of Mr. McKinley’s inaugural ad- dress and of the Indianapolis confer- ence. The resolution recites that in view of the present inadequate banking system it is desirable that Congress have the aid- of experts in making changes. The commission is to be com- posed of four citizens eminent in trade, political economy, and banking, to be , appointed by the President, two Sena- tors to be appointed by the Vice Presi~ dent, two Representatives, to be ap- pointed by the speaker, and the Comp- troller of the Currency, and the resolu- provides that it shall report to Con- gress the first Mondav of hi xt Decem- ber. O 0 Gen. Fitzhucgh Lee, Consul General at Havana, has been notlfied by cable that his services will not be needed after April 15. " . The notice from the State Depart- ment is nominally in the form of a leave of absence beginning at this date, but it is understood both by him and the de— partment that his successor will be on the ground at that time. Gen. Lee ex- pects to come to this country at once. The Dingley tariff bill passed the House this afternoon by a vote of 206 to 121. Five democrats voted for the bill, otherwise. the vote was on party lines. on the amendment introduced by Mr. Grusvenor, making the duties of the tariff bill take effect on importations ordered after ‘April 1.

Raymond 2d, who resides ‘ at No. 6 Harriet street, this city, had a stroke of apoplexy in the Liberty Building, No. 128 Liberty street, New York city, yesterday afternoon, and was removed in an ambulance to the Hudson street hospital, that city, where his condition is said to be serious. Mr. Raymond is forty-four years old and is well known in town. He has been connected with numerous enter- prises here, and at present is manager of the Raymond Heating company with offices in New York city. At one time Mr. Raymond was presi- dent of the Raymond Furnace com- pany, whose foundry was located on Water street, South Norwalk.

It is understood that the County Commissioners are interested in having a triangular piece of ground on the Westport road near the Children’s Home, transformed into a park. The Commissioners propose acting with the city in bringing about such a desirable result, and it is also understood that the Tramway company w11l contribute to the extent of carting all of the dirt needed for such improvement. By all means let us have the park. The Kidlet Takes An Extra Dose. - The “Kidlet” of Norwalk’s yellow journal took another close of “dope” yesterday. It must have been an extra large dose, as the efi'usion he poured out while creditable to Paterfamz‘lz’as, was a rank infringement on the prerog- ative of Ananias. 0 Death of John Brown. John Brown. a representative from Windham in the Legislature, died at his home in that town, aged eighty. He was the oldest member of the House.

The Legislature Passed a Ree- olution Making the; Open Season tor Trout Fish- ing from Apriil to June ES. The Season Shortened Fifteen Days. The GAZETTE stated yesterday, in re- ply to numerous inquiries, that there trout law, and that the speckled beau- ties could be caught from Aprill to July 1, as formerly. . The committee on Conference of the General Assembly, however, who had the proposed change in the law in charge, yesterday reported favorably on the resolution making the open sea- son for trout fishing from April 1 to June 15, which shortens the season 15 days. The House adopted the report and passed the bill, which was trans- mittedimmediately to the Senate,where it also passed. As the law now stands trout fishing in Connecticut must cease after the fifteenth day of June. JUDGE HOWARD cusus. Elected by Legislature for Fairfield County Common Pleas.

Presence of Mind Prevented Serious ln- jury to a Little New Haven Girl. Julia, the 12 year old daughter of Charles A. Merwin of 33 County Street, New Haven, was badly burned yester- day. The child was raking up leaves in the back yard at her home and put- ting them on a bonfire. She came too near the blaze, and in an instant her dress was in flames. No one was near and as she made no outcry, she might have been fatally burned but for her remarkable pres- ence of mind. She quickly ran into the basement and throwing herself in? to a sink full of water, managed to ex- tinguish the flames. Her back was quite badly burned, but her prompt action prevented any serious injuries, and she was resting comfortably this afternoon . FIRE IN GREENWICH. Handsome Summer Residence of w. S. Dole Destroyed. The handsome summer residence of W. S. Doles of New York, at Cos Cob was completely destroyed by fire yes- terday. The fire was discovered by the drivers of two furniture 'vaus which were passing the house. The teamsters broke into the house and awakened the care-taker and his w1fe, who were found almost suffocated bv the smoke. Most of the furniture was saved. The house was valued at $10, 000. The origin of the fire is unknown. «a o ._._..._ House and Barn Burned. The house and barn at Salisbury owned by Contractor James Levi of Norfolk and occupied 'by William O’Connor, were destroyed by fire Tues- day night. The fire is supposed to have started from an overheated kitchen stove. The loss is about $2,000; insur- ance $1,200 $3,000 Fire in" New Haven. Fire in the grocery store of the G. A W.

Chesapeake Bay Growers Given a Title to Grounds on Fox Island and Then , Sued for Infringing on the Natural Rights or” the State. A large amount of Connecticut capi-_ tal has been prevented from investment in Virginia by a recent decision of the Legislature of the Old Dominion. ' Last summer, William Ellinger, who owns'several hundredacres in oyster farms on Fox Island, in Chesapeake Bay, visited several places in Western Connecticut, and represented that he had just been given a title to his farms by the State Legislature and that he wanted about $50,000 to develop them. The matter was looked into; it was seen that the land was admirably adapt- ed for producing a fine quality of oys- ters, and a number of capitalists of the state interested themselves in the scheme. They have raised the money and were all ready to put it into the scheme, provided, of course, that the final trip to the grounds proved cvery- thing satisfactory. Yesterday a letter was received from Mr. Ellinger, in which he stated that the Legislature had taken radical action recently in appointing a Commission wh1ch had been given farms in a similar manner, had infringed on the natural rights of the State and had given the case ever to- the Attorney General to look into. ' ’ The Attorney General has, it is stated by Mr. Ellinger, declared that the State has no grounds to stand on in making the claim, as Mr. Ellinger has received a vested right to his grounds. Mr. Ellinger declares that the matter will be settled soon, but he states that he will not invite Connecticut capital till he has a clear claim to the land in- volved. It is probable that a repre- sentative of the Connecticut capitalists who are thinking of developing the Fox Island grounds w1Il visit the spot at once. The action of the Virginia Legislature is thought to be unwise, as it defeated a scheme to bring Northern capital to that State and develop its resources. From what the capitalists have learned of the matter the actionof the Legisla- ture in giving Mr. Ellinger a title to the grounds and then practically revok- ing it. is almost unprecedented. 0 FOR A PLEASURE RESORT. A. Large New York Transportation Com- pany Wants to Purchase Little Captain’s Island. In the hearing before Judge Mead, of the Greenw1ch Probate court, upon a petition brought by Fred S. Gwyer of New York, for a settlement of the ad- m1nistrator’c s account on the Lyon ”es- tote, Saturday, counsel claimed that Gwyer was the secretary of a large New York transportation company which was desirous to obtain the title of Little Cap- tain’s Island, for the purpose.of making a pleasure resort, to which excursion steamers could be run from New York. The island comprlses about fouracres of ground, about a mile and a half from the Greenwich shore, and has one of the finest beaches to be found anywhere along the Sound. In 1856 the Lyon family bought the island at sheriff 3 sale, and Gwyer purchased a one-fifth interest. He immediately began a par- tition suit, but, as one part belonged to an estate that had never been settled, the court decided that the partition suit could not go on until the Probate court had made' disposition of that part be- longing‘to the unsettled estate. If the transportation company can secure this island, it is intended to erect pavilions and places of amusement, and to run steamers regularly to and from New York. A steam~ launch would also ply between this island and the Greenwich shore. The Sick. John Jarvis’ condition is reported as being serious. James Mitchell remains about the same. His condition does not warrant much hope of his recovery. William H. Olmstead was slightly improved of his illness yesterday. WilliamE. Dann’s condition is re- ported as being about the same as yes- terday. Frank Foster is convalescent of a three weeks’ illness. -p———-—— .—A'GAZET’11E ad. win pay: you. runee.a1._ or he FAHEY l Largely Attended from St ilary’ 5 Church, 11113 Morning. i .St. Mary’s churc 1 was crowded this 1 morning, by those in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. John Fahey who died at her home on Elm street on Tuesday. A solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated with Rt. Rev. Michael Tier- ney, bishop of the diocese of Hartford, (a son of the deceased) as celebrant, as- sisted by Father Furlong as deacon, and Father McGuirk of Hartford as master of ceremonies. Among the distinguished clergy presv ent which included about forty priests, were Vicar-General Mulcahey of Hart- ford, andFather Lee, 0. S. S. of Win- sted, and about fifty Sisters of Mercy from different parts of the State. The services were of a very impres- sive character and a hush of due sol- emnity pervaded the church while the mass was being celebrated. The pall- bearers" were children and grandclnl— dren of the deceased. There was no ostentatious display and the funeral was conducted in a reverent and quiet man- ner fitting to the age of the deceased who was universally respected. The interment was at St. Mary’s cem- etery the remains being followed to the grave by a large cortege of mourners. CAN SEE THE FIGHT. The Anti-Kinetoscope Bill Failed in the House Yesterday. It looked at one time yesterday as if the sporting fraternity of the state were about to be doomed to a dire disap- pointment. Connecticut had but a small representation at the big fight between FitZsimmons' and Corbett at Carson City last month. This was doubtless due to lack of money. Many of the sports down the road dropped money in the pool room at Stamford, and things have been very quiet of late in the sporting world. , The highflyers had, however, ac- cepted their plight 'manfully, and de— cided that they w uld necept a view of the fight through a kinetoscope as a welcome substitute, and at’ a greatlv re- duced rate. The announcement a few days ago that one of the large theatre 'managers had procured the right to exhibit the views was greeted with joy. However, the outlook was dubious yesterday and it looked as if the joy of the sports would be doomed to sorrow when Representative Tucker of Ansonia offered a resolution in the House, de- signed to prevent the exhibition of the prize fight pictures in the state. The sense of the resolution 18 that any per- son who shall exhibit or display any photograph or series of photographs of any prize fight shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than two years; also any person renting a building for such purposes shall be liable to a fine of $1,0:0. This resolution as new bus1ness re- quired unanimous consent. But an objection was raised and it 'was ruled out. The hearts of the sports will therefore throb with joy, for they can witness the fight at a moderate rate. GOLD TURNED T0 SLAG. Disappdinting Experience of Local Capi- talists With Mt. Carmel Mine. The supposed gold mine atMt. Car- mel has developed into a slag bed. The smelting plant, which was set up last week, was abandoned Saturday, and work has been given up. The mine is on the property of John» Dickerman, a farmer near Mt. Carmel. S. A. Hart and Allen Osborne, together with several other New Haven men, en- tered the scheme, put up the necessary cash and had the smelting plant set up. Then James Fream, of Chestnut street, "West Haven, an experienced smelter and engineer, was sent up to Mt. Carmel and started to work. For two days he melted everything in sight, and at the end of that time the stuff was sent to New York. The assay there developed enough gold to burnishia safety pin. Instead of the $25 to $30 a ton expected, the assay showed hardly a trace of gold. ‘ The stockholders very disgustedly shut down and went back to New Haven, taking Engineer Fream with them. The mine w1ll not be operated. loint Trackage. The matter of joint trackage as be- tween the Street Railway and Tramway companies up and ovEr Mill hill,so call- ed has been satiSfactorin settled, and is in operation to-day. The Street Railway sprinkler allayed whatever dust there was on the hill liable to blind any one to the part of such settlement. —-All' the Successful MerChants of this City Advertise in THE GAZETTE.
