The accident happened about three miles from the mouth of New Haven harbor and was caused by the ex- plosion of akerosene oil stove. The party consisted of Captain Stephen A. Cooper, Charles A. Jones, W. F. Denyse and Harry E. Terhune. Mr. Terhune was badly hurt and is now confined to his bed at the New Haven House. The fire spread so rapidly that the yaclitsmen with two sailors had barely time to take to their gig. The waves on the Sound were running very high and it seemed as if the boat would be swamped. Fortunately the schooner Lydia Christine happened to be near by and rescued the entire party. The vessel was worth $10,000 and was uninsured. Thc yachtsmenliad over $1,000 of per- sonal property and only saved $200 worth.

Election must be drawing near, as the Prohibitionists have commenced their campaign, and probably will try to prove from the bible that the Republican party is the rum party. Money must be abundant in the city, as $5000 more has been unanimously appro- printed for sewers. But is it commenda- lilc for men to vote for such an expendi- ture, and then growl about it? Thomas Benedict, a competent civil cu- giucer and surveyor, has located in this city, having an office in Lnudcr‘s block.

Tire presence of President Clark with his aids in the city last week, his interviews with owners of land adjoining the track, and with some of the city councilman, all show that something is to be done, and that quickly.

About twenty-five dollars were netted, notwithstanding the storm. There is some talk of having it repeated. Within a few days two boys have been taken to the Reform School at Meriden from this place, not for committing any crime, but simply because they would not attend school or work. Perhaps we are not competent to judge, but it is our opin- ion that the troublc is with the parents and they should be the ones to be punish- cd. When the children are hardly able to walk they permit them to have their own way in everything, and as soon as they commence to attend school the teacher must allow them the same privilege or the parents are mad, and then when they are about ten or twelve years old the state must take them and reform them. ‘i On Tuesday morning of last Week the heat being oppressive, the workmen at Doscher’s plane factory decided to quit work, and Harry Bradley, who owns a sail boat proposed taking a sail down the river and going in bathing. To this John Marples, Harry Brown, Fred Hawkes and William Mason agreed. and the five em- barked in Bradley’s boat and sailed down the river and through the canal, heading for Cockenoes Island. On getting through the canal the wind was found to be quite fresh and the waves running quite high.

He had gone but a short dis- tance when his companions in the boat heard his cries for help and attempted to go his assistance, but being obliged'to tack, it was some time before they could come near the place where he had disappeared. By that time Brown had arrived at the shore and came running to the spot, but the unfortunate man never appeared after he went down. It is thought that he might have been seized by a shark, as his movements would seem to indicate that he was struggling against something intlre water.

Nothing Was known of the thief or his whereabouts at last accounts. John F. Hauth, supervisor of the polish- ers in the lock department of Sargent &. Co's. in New Haven, has been discharged and with him ten men who had been em- ployed in the shop. The charge was that IIauth collected money from the men, and ingreturn made it appear that they had worked full time, when they had really been absent at intervals. An officer of the company said Saturday that restitu- tion had been made, and that there would be no prosecutions. Hauth went to New Haven from New Britain and is an excel- lent workman. . The Cornwall Bridge correspondent of the Canaan News reports the incendiary burning of D. W. Manvel's barn Sunday morning,and theorizes in severe English in a strain that betrays a negative affection for his colored brethren, as f0110ws:—“It is supposed to be the work of a hideous race, who have dear relations in the county jail. Mr. Manvel is a grand juror and has done his duty faithfully in dispersing from this village the nuisance of triggers. Justices before whom the gang was brought naturally expect some damage to their property or life, but a vigilance com- mittcc would not be a bad institution to guard well andlprotect the rights of white folks here." There never was a time when so much freight was being carried by railroads and steamboats in this section as at present. The Consolidated (Shore Line division) has more freight than it can send over the line without putting on an extra gang of men to handle it. The freight gang is overworked to such an extent that the road is considering the plan of hiring more help so that a portion of the force can have a rest occasionally. The Ston- ington 85 Providence road is running large freight trains and they cannot keep up with their business. The northern road is in the same predicament, operating more cars and employing a large number of men to run them than ever. The pro- pellers of the Central Vermont line’ are heavily ladcn on each trip to and from go and come from their docks filled with freight. The only way the rush is ac counted for is that business is improving in all directions.+Norwich Bulletin. Dick Hadley, alias Higgins, a notorious burglar and post ofiice robber, died in the state prison in Wethersfield a few days ago, where he was servmg out a ten years sentence. He was captured at Canaan about four years ago and sentenced to the state prison. In being conveyed by wagon, in company with other convicts, front Litchfield to Wethersfield, he made a bold dash for liberty, jumped from the wagon, ran into the woods and escaped. This escape lost High Sheriff Porter his re-clection. Several months later Hadley was arrested in Baltimore, Md., for rob- ing the post office there, and was identi- fied as the escaped convict and turned over to the Connecticut officials. After his re-capturc hemade the statement that his lawyer, Henry Prescott, of Litchfield, had given him the key to his handcuis at the time he was started for Wethersfield before, which had enabled him to make his escape. Prescott, who was a young lawyer of talent and bright promise, was found guilty of this misdemeanor and was disbarred. It is said he is now a common tramp. Hadley had about seven years more to serve, at the expiration of which time he would have been handed over to Baltimore authorities to answer for the Baltimore post office robbery. He leaves a wife who is living in Bridgeport. The finance committee of the New Ha- ven board of aldermen,, which has had under consideration the various offers made for the city’s interest in the New Haven and Derby railroad, adapted it re- port Monday evening recommending the acceptance of the offer made by W. H. Starbuck on these terms: That the city convey its interests and claims against the Derby road to three trustees for delivery to Starbuck when the conditions are ful- filled; that Starbuck pa :the city $275,000 for its interest; that Starbuck pay all first mortgage bonds at maturity; that Starbuck purchase all the Derby stock offered within 60 days at not less than $25 a share; that Starbuck. guarantee the removal of the present passenger and freight deports to some place satisfactory to the trustees, so as to do away with several dangerous grade crossings; that Starbuck guarantee the continuance of the facilities now enjoyed by the Starin line of boats, so as to insure a competing line to New York ; that the road be extended to Hawlcyville within one year from the date of conveyance; that the trustees vote‘ on the city’s stock until these conditions have been fulfilled. This report, which will go before the aldermen Wednesday evening for action, is signed by six mem-~ bers 'of the committee. Tire seventh member will make a minority report hold- ing that Starbuck’s cash offer of $275,000 is insufficient and recommending that he be given permission to withdraw. The real fight over the possession of the Derby road and its terminal facilities will proba- bly begin when the committee’s report .cAsrtR’S‘ "'11.! ‘ Ev.
