The New I tell A large and quite enthusiastic meeting of our citizens was held at the Opera House last Monday evening in the inter- est of the new Hotel project. If the sen- timents there expressed are any indica- tion of the general desire for such “a long felt want,” we may put down the hotel as one of the local needs and improvements, already assured. Mr. James K. Selieck of East avenue, assured the meeting that if our citizens would subscribe ten thousand dollars for the enterprise he could easily obtain forty thousand more from his New , York friends who would be glad to make sopromising an investment. Of course, at this first and preliminary meeting, not much more than the decided sense of our citizens in favor of the project was to have been expected. The details of loca- tion. plan and character of building must of necessity beieft to subsequent consi- deration. Several projects are being considered, but the one receiving a pre- ponderance of favor, seems to be a com- bined commercial and family Hotel. For such an edifice, no site seems to offer so many advantages as the old Charles Isaacs Homestead. Its location, its ample land area in the rear, its facilities for an outlet and drainage down into the harbor via Water street etc. added to the chance to utilize a line of stores on the front, give this site undisputed advantages. From its upper stories abeautifui view of the waters of the harbor and sound may be had and for an attractive home for fami- lies and transient guests, few if any more elegible sites can be found. Nevertheless the site is the secondary consideration, the hotel itself is the thing first to be posi- tively agreed upon, and this we think has been substantially done. We are fortu- nate in having sojwide awake and energet- ic a man as E. O. Keeler, thoroughly aroused and in earnest in promoting the good work. Rev. M. Anderson and others present at last Monday night’s meet- ing, expressed their hearty approval of the enterprise and we believe it willbe consummated. A general committee of fifty was ap- pointed, who chose from their number an executive committee of seven to formu- late a plan of action as to organizing, raising capital, considering the question of location, etc. and report at an adjourn- ed meeting to be. held in the Opera House next Monday evening. The general committee of 50 is as fol- lows: Ira Cole, J. A. Osborn, E. O. Keeler, D. W. Fitch, J. D. Kimmey, D. N. Couch, O. E Wilson, E. J. Hill, G. M. Holmes;- L. S. Cole, George E. Miller, F.

Stevenson sat in a red and white striped shirt sleeves in his office a is President Cleveland, yesterday afternoon, and talked with a reporter of the Morning News about the plans of Mr. Starbuek, of New York, should the city of New Haven sell him the citr'mmoot “The only thing," said the colonel, “that we have decided is to carry out to the very last letter every one of the con- ditions upon which the road is to be sold to us, if it is sold at all. I certainly hope that the city will decide to sell to us. No, we haven't decided which way our ex. tension Will be built, but if we get the road, the extension will be built as the best interests of all parties seem to make most desirable. “We shall run trains right through to Danbury on the new road, always provid- ing we get the Derby, and in general our trains out of New Haven will connect with every line that centers at Hawley- ville. If it is necessary we shall improve the Derby road by reducing the grades or otherwise as may be necessary. “However, as I said at first, it will be time enough to plan all the details when the city indicates its willingness to sell. We have not thought about them as yet.” ——New Haven News. 0 Mr. Blaine in Edinburgh. Mr. Andrew Carnegie publishes a letter in reference to the failure of Mr. Blaine to obtain admittance to the Council chamber in Edinburgh, last Friday on the occasion of the presentation of the freedom of the city to the writer. Mr. Carnegie says: “I am myself to blame for the accident of the exclusion Of Mr. Blaine from the Council chamber. I had arranged with Mr. Blaine to accompany him. On the way Miss Blaine met with an accident, which caused a slight injury to her ankle. She was compelled to return, and her father accompanied her back to their hotel. Mr. Blaine was thus retarded. “Instead of Mr. Blaine having any cause to complain of inattention on the part of the officials of Edinburgh, the in- terest the Lord Provost and the public have manifested in his movements and the universal desire to see and hear him have much surprised him. Aceustomed as he is to all this wherever he goes in his own land, he had not expected such a reception as is everywhere accorded to him in Great Britain and nowhere have the attentions paid to him been more marked and gratifying than in Edinburgh.” Grade Crossings. At the recent hearing in this town con- cerning grade crossings President Clark, of the Consolidated road, said:— Tliis is one of the first of'a large number of hearings asked for in regard to the elimination of grade crossings along the line of this road. This one at Monroe street happens to be one of the first, not for any special reason of danger at this particular crossing, but because it was was one of the first prepared. There are some fifty or more of the crossings marked for in- s ection this summer. The ex erience in the o d country, as well as in this, as shown that these grade crossings are a source of great danger, inconvenience and annoyance, and as the country grows it becomes not only more desirable, but more eépensive to eliminate them. The city of Bar ord has recently ob- tained an act of the legislature to the effect that a single grade crossing shall be done away with in that city at an expense of over $300,- 000. We are obliged to pay our portion of the cost and the city of Hartford pays its portion of the expense. How much cheaper this could have been done had it been attended to years ago, before the city reached its present pro- portions. It does not follow as to how much or how little we should pay or you should pay. We do not wish to be met with opposition in the attempt to better the crossings of the tracks and thus do away with a. great amount of dan- ger, We wish to settle this thing and have no feeling against anyone. There is not the nhgthtest feeling of antagonism between the raj oad company and the city. I trust there will be none on the part of the city. We may differ as to how much each ought to pay, but we want such questions settled in a pleasant way and without feeling. Concerning gates at the crossings, they are not the protection that bridges are. I have been on a train of cars right from the shop, equipped with power brakes, running at a rate of speed adopted by express trains, with a gateman and flagmaii to protect grade crossings. and a butcher who . ad taken one glass of beer too much insisted upon driving across the track upon the ap- proach of two trains coming in opposite direc- tions. Trying to avoid one train he was struck by the other and hurled into eternit , although everything was done that was possi is to etc the train. There was no protection, althoug l the gateman was at his post and everything about the train was in perfect order. 80 long as these crossings exist they will be a; source of danger, ex sing hundreds and thousands of poo In to t e perils of the rail daily. it is not an 0 nor i-igh . It is not that we want to injure you that we ask you to join with us in getting rid of three crossings. We want to shake hands on the subject. Bell Island. This delightful sound shore watering place is fast assuming a popularity and growth that is even surprising to the owners, Messrs. Foster brothers of Dan- bury, who afew years since purchased the island with a. view of making it a summer resort for themselves and a few of their Danbury friends. But Danbury has been submerged, and now outsiders outnumber the Danburiaus three to one. Between thirty and forty cottages have been built and they are all full, and the cry is for more. The following are a por- tion of the cottages that are occupied by owners and families, viz.: Charles Wilcox, Lewis Jones. Mrs. Signor, Charles Bene- dict, J. H. Foster, J. A. Beckwitli, N. Barnum, Thomas Brown, George Hoyt, F. L. Butler, Charles Durand, Mrs. J. P. Hull, J. A. Bea], Dr. Franco, George Durand, Thos. J. Morgan, John Cotter, Milton Noble at the Shepard cottage, Mr. Ensign, at J. H. Fosters, ‘Rev. Mr. Gum- bart and Mr. Hanna occupy the Haviland cottage, Thos. Owens at the ll oodruff cottage, Mrs. Judd at the Well cottage and numerous others including the fami- lies Of the owners of the island. As the summer population increases so have the facilities for reaching there, and now the steamer Island Belle makes 14 stops at the pier daily, and the mail is sent over twice daily from the Wilson Point post Office. The Messrs. Foster have recently Opened a saloon where trausiant visitors can be supplied with light lunch, cooling drinks, (no ardents,) and fragrant cigars. “Hotel Baldwin,” is full to over flowing, and applications for rooms are numerous enough to fill another hotel of the same capacity. Applications for lots for more cottages are now being made for next year’s occupation, and all in all, things are booming down at the sound washed shores of Bell Island. _.__._4.,.. The Galinaher Case. Dr. Frank Gallagher, son of Hon. James Gallagher, of New Haven, who was in- dicted in July of last year for murder in the first degree for causing the death of Sadie Heiueman by producing abortion, and who fled that city pending investiga- tion, has been arrested in Oakland, Cal. As the two principal witnesses in the case, the family of the murdered girl and her scduccr, have left the state and their whereabouts are unknown, if is thought that the state will not go to the expense of sending to California for the accused and hunting up the witnesses. State Attorney Doolittle is much pro- voked at the announcement that Dr. Frank Gallagher, who is accused of procuring an abortion at New Haven has been ar- rested in San Francisco. He doubts the reports, but is specially aggrieved that anything should have been said or done after word had been sent there to wait, but'keep him under inspection. The ob- ject of delay was to secure two important witnesses. As it now stands he says he must be discharged within a few days. In order to get a requisition the law requires that Mr. Doolittle must make oath to the. Governor that he believes he can procure sufficient evidence to convict the , accused person, whose extradition is asked for. Unless he can be assured that Kitty Heine- man will come from Texas, and also Frank Bradley, who is supposed to have been poor Sadie’s most intimate friend at the time of her trouble, to testify against Dr. Gallagher, Mr. Doolittle will not make such affidavit. ———-—-—<+»— The Veterans Picnic. Thirty-three companies have accepted the invitation to participate in the New Haven Veteran Firemen's picnic at Suviu Rock on the 20th. In order that the com- panics who compete for prizes may be on terms of equality a light bicycle jumper and a light hook and ladder truck have been ordered from New York. The wheels of the jumper are like those of a bicycle, and the carriage is very light. It li’eliif'gia'ala‘li’iiii‘é‘i‘villfi‘li‘és‘ieliliiie'ci'“ta“‘i'si‘y that length of pipc,conpling cvcry50 feet, coupling the nozzle and getting on water. In the hook and ladder competition the company which first raises four laders, the highest forty feet, and has an axe-man on top of each will win the prize. The prizes, which are numerous and valuable, have been contributed by friends of the vet— erans. Much money has also been given, particularly by those at the shore, who expect to profit by the presence of a crowd. The proceeds will go to swell the relief fund of the association. coo—~— The South Norwalk Fire. The fire, which destroyed the foundry and machine shop of Mr. W. A. Wheeler, on Friday, July 1, was acomplctc success, having burned about everything but the anvil and engine, the latter being utterly ruined. It is a pity that so many wooden structures are built and are being built in this section Of the city; in fact, the whole of Water street, from its beginning at Washington street to its ending somewhere on salt meadows, is, with two or three ex. ceptions, built up with wooodcn struc tures, many of them being of the lightest material, and when once on fire they burn with lightning rapidity, leaving the fire- men powerless to subdue. The fear is often expressed that a sweeping fire may clean most of them out to the great loss of the owners and occupants. Many of our citizens believe and say that the city council should not allow the erection of wooden structures within the business portion of the city, and are calling for a halt in the granting of such permission. ——~—-——-“>-——— -— x. The Kai-rid Things. ' A dispatch from Ansonia says: “At this end of the town are some girls that are as devoid of shame as are any of the young men in the place. The Naugutuck river opposite the depot is a favorite bath- ing place for both boys and girls, and what was the surprise of the people gather- ed at the depot Saturday to see two girls about fifteen years of age appear and disrobc as unconcernedly as though in their own chambers. An old dress was donned for a short time and then dis- carded, and for the next ten minutes they ' sported in nature’s attire, diving, swim- ming, etc.; then, leaving the water, they made their toilet in plain sight. Hardly a day passes but what a similar sight can be seen, and in some instances the females have reached even a more mature age. The place is outside of the borough limits. Hence the police do not interfere.” The Chautauqua Schools Opened. The summer session of the College of Liberal Arts began Monday under the supervision Of Dr. W. B. Harper of Yale University, assisted by thirty professors from leading American Colleges. A large number of students were present at the openino‘. A commodious new college building adds to the facilities of this fam- ous school. .. Mrs. A H. Bisscll left yesterday to spend her school vacation under the be- nign influences of the above institution. ~—————<-¢->——— Scalp: Wanted. Emma Newman, of Bristol, had her scalp torn off several months ago by ma- chincry. Dr. J. Wilson of that place has been building up a new scalp by grafting on the head pieces of skin taken from the arms of other persons, and having ex- hausted the list of her friends he has is- sucda card asking persons who are willing to help Miss Newman to notify him. —--————<-o—»—————— A Joke Misearried.

N’ORWALK GAZETTE. Whole Families Drowned. The particulars of the tragic accident to the yacht “Mystery,” on Sunday,last are thus told in a dispatch from New York: The sloop vaclit“i\fysler_\” loft Ruffle Bar, an island in Canarsic Lay, at 7 o’clock Sunday evening, loaded almost to tho gunwnlcs With women and children. When off Barren Island on route for Canarsic, the yacht cnpsnzed. and only 13 of the 40 souls composing her passen- gers and crew are known to have been rescued. Bulilo Bar is one of the islets that dot Canarsio Buy, and is a favorite stopping place-foi'yaclrts- men and fishermen. The party which was ill- voivcd in this terrible disaster was made up chiefly of German families, resident in Brook- lvii and LOiig Island City. They had come to Carnarsic by the early trains and hired two yachts, the Mystery and Christina. to take them to Radio Bar. The fathers of several of the families preferred to remain about Canar- sie, which accounts to seine extent for the pre- ponderance of' the women and children. The. sun was just sinking when the passongers of Mystery and'Christina gathered on the pier to embark for Carnarsio. So many of the men showed the effects of the beer they had drunk that the ski p ers thought it best to put the women arid c ildreii aboard the Mystery, which is a cabin yacht, 40 feet long and rates as a much safer boat than her consort. The women protested when they learned that Capt. Hen- (lriekson and his lO-year-old son were all of the men aboard. Their protests were minced- ed. A very brisk west by north Wind was fair on their quarter, and the yacht. started with her mainsail singly reefcd. She is a. fast sailor ordinarily, but between ballast and passengers she sat deep in the water and did not make as good time as Capt. Hendrickson desired. The Christina. as could easily be seen, was about swinging out in the Mystery’s wake. Hen- drickson said in the hearing of some of the women who were rescued, that he was gomg to get to Carnarsie first or blow a stick out, and gave orders to his 9-year-old son—his only crew—to get ready to shake the reef out of the sail. Mrs. Switzer, of Greenpoint, made most earnest protests against more sail, as the_bont was already heeling over in a way that fright- ened the women almost into bysterics. .Many others joined in the-protest, but Hendricksou declared that he could sail the Mystery through a gale, and persisted in his order. The reef knots were untastened and the boom dropped just as a squall of considerable violence struck the sail. 1n sailor parlance it knocked the yacht down. In a second she was on beam ends, and _all the peo is who were on deck were struggling in the cIIoppy sea. The catastrophe was wit- nessed from the tug J. C. Dean. The Dean was then over two miles away from the found- ered yacht. Capt. Henry Rowe, of the tug, called for all the steam that could be crowded on and ran to the rescue. For five minutes the yacht remained on her beam end and the shrouds and bulwarks afforded some hold for the engulfed people. The struggle for a place to hold to, as seen from the tug's deck. was awful. Fully half of tho drowning ‘people were children. from babes in arms to D years old. The mothers made frantic efforts to get their little ones to where they could hold on to ’a rope or a spar and help themselves. One after another they were swept oil in the tide- way, and buoyed by their clothing, their hands waved in frantic and unavailing appeals for help. Some time before the Dean get near enough to be of use a negro put out from Bar- ren Island in a. rowboat,aud was the first to aid the drowning people. Had he been a minute later hardly any could have been saved, for just as he laid hands on the nearest person the yacht went down with a. lurch, and all of her that was left above water was her topmast. The water had filled her cabin, and her heavy ballast carried her down, leaving the 'water dotted with hail-drowned mothers still clinging to their children. Oars were never lied to better advantage than by the negro, who seemed endowed With superhuman strength and what was best to do. Those who were past helping themselves be dragged into the boat, others he lashed to the gunwaios. Altogether seven of the lives saved are to be credited to him. When theDean ar- rived thcrc were few of the victims still above the surface. As she neared a woman floating, trying to buoy up her 4-year-old child. a man on the guards suddenly exclaimed. “My God, that is my wife!” and dived to her and, [he wo- man had already lost her grip on the child and was about making when he reached her. He had the choice of saving her or his child. and he chose the wife. He and she were soon drawn aboard the Dean, but the child sank be- fore their eyes. The next grappled was a woman of middle age, who had been kept on the surface by her stoutncss. Slie, however, was so exhausted that she died c few minutes after she was brought aboard the tug. A child and another woman also diedoaf’ter they were taken out, but the Dean’s willing passengers and crew succeeded in securing live alive, They then took aboard the tug the seven which had been saved by the negro. It was neariv dark when the Dean arrived at Caunrsic With her load of dead and half drowned passengers. Perhaps 30 of the 500 persons Oil the beach were relatives of the people who had sailed to Radio Bar early in the. morning, and were already becoming anxious at the delay of their return. The wail that went up when the cat.— astrophc was told was hoartrending. The half- drowiicd rescued persons were taken to'ihe hotels and the town laid under contributions tor drv clothing. Every one of them .had left one or two and in one case three children in the water, and they passed from the apathy of half consciousness to will] aliysterics. Several imagined that their has an. s had been drown ad also, and their iamentations were dreadful to hear. Nobody seems to know what became of' Captain Hendrickson or his boy. It is l;ke_ ly that the latter went down rider the sail and was one of the first drownei . As many of the people on the ionic had little acquaint.— air-c With each of er, it is very difheult to arrive at the exact extent of the casualty or the '15. .. : :..:.‘.,:,;‘..it‘n.-sakiy Ii, ‘whd teilfi of Capfitin ilendi-i kson’s drunkenness, recklessnrss and profanity when she protested against carrying so much sail.

He had been separated from her some months because of her 1'0- fusal to longer stand his drunkenness and abuse. During the afternoon he sat in a saloon watching the clock, and said sever- al times that. after 6 o’clock he would “do up his wife.” As she passed up Trum- bull street about 6:30 o’clock, in company with two girls who worked with her at Smith & Bournc’s harness works, Swift approached and asked her to come back and live with him. She refused, and he shot her through the back. She was taken to the hospital, where she died at 7:45. Swift was arrested.

It is now safely housed on the premises of the pro- scssor, having received no other material damage than the cutting of the hole to let the gas out. BIARRIED.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled to a much higher rate of pension than they now receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases where it was granted for wounds or injuries the disability increases each year. As time passes the disability ofgallzclasses naturally increases. Many were at llrst rated too low, and it often occurs flint pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re- duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in his original declaration. The pension laws are more liberal than formerly, and better rating can be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will present me with a brief statement of your case, stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a rehearing of your case, and, if it has nierlt. will procure a favorable settlement. Many claims stand rejected before the department, when it only requires a competent attorney to make them good cases. Soldiers sufl‘eriug with disabilities commolerl in service, who have not applied for a pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT. SOLDIERS OF THE MEXICAN WAR, Who were in that service sixty days, [or their widows if not re-marrled] are entitled to $8.00 per month from January 29th, 1857. M20 JA 'New Book. EV. C. M.
