It is believed that they can be made ready in time to be thus sent. If this is done, one of the trains will be sent from New York to Boston on Sun-l day and the other on Monday, leaving at 3 p. m. This arrangement will per- mit both trains to begin running regu- larly on Monday. When the trains now running are; taken off they will be thoroughly in- spected. One train is owned by the Consolidated road, the other by the New England. Should the Consoli- dated road train need repairing, the cars will be put in the shops in New Haven. Otherwise the cars will be as- signed to regular trains. MEMORIA L DA 1’ REGA r151.

As mentioned in Thursday’s GAZETTE, Uncle John Ferris “came to town” on that day much better of a severe illness and looking quite cheerful like. He did not, however, return to his home on the New Canaan road with the same cheerful expression of face and self-sat- isfled mein. During the day he made his usual rent collections (no insignifi- cant sum), and as he supposed had it safely imprisoned in his inside pocket. On going to the bank to deposit the money for yet safer keeping, what were his feelings on finding the pocketbook and its contents missing, those best ac- quainted with Mr. Ferris, can imagine. He sought in vain for it, and returned home, as he supposed several hundred dollars poorer. Fortunately the pock- etbook fell into the hands of an honest man—‘ ‘one of the noblest works of God” ’tis-saidL-his nephew, Mr. Arthur Fer- ris. Yesterday- morning Arthur made himself, perhaps, doubly dear in the affections of his uncle, by returning the pocketbook intact, and received a “God bless you, Arthur,” which may- hap will assume more substance when his dear old uncle shall have gone to that bourn, etc. “Samson” is small in stature, but large in honesty. Capt. StephenD. Byxbee died at his home, No. 102 South Main street, at 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon, after an illness of two years and nine months. Deceased was a war veteran, and did valiant service as captain of Co. E, 12th C. V. Aresident of this town during almost his entire life, of pleasing man- ner and genial, he was well and favora- bly known. He was a member of the Grand Army Post at Meriden, also of Clinton Commandery G. A. R., and Old IVell Lodge, F. & A. M. He was 56 years and 3 months old. His wife and four children, two daughters and two sons, survive him. The funeral, under charge of Funeral Director Ray- mond, will take place Mondayat 2 :30 p. m. The interment will be in the Pine Island cemetery, the remains being committed to their last resting place with Masonic honors. Members of the Grand Army and of the Masonic frater- nity are invited to be present; also Merriam Post, G. A. R., of Meriden. Early Thursday afternoon, Mail Car- rier Bennett pushed the Newfoundland dog, which he uses in the transportation of the U. S. mail betwen borough and city, up against the rear of Express- man Snyder’s truck, where he secured the animal with a hitch line. He then proceeded to the depot with the mail pouches. During his absence Express- man Snyder received a call and mount- ing his vehicle, drove uplWashington street, but as he attempted to turn into Spring street noticed that some- thing seemed to dragback on his horse. Looking around he discoveredBennett’s team. Jumping from his wagon with a fear of arrest for obstructing the transportation of Uncle Sam’s mail matter, he unhitched Bennett’s horse and started back for the post oilice, the animal naturally going at a dog trot. He had not proceeded far before he met the mail carrier, who promptly handed him $1.50 for his trouble, and ' jumping into the nondescript vehicle, .. drove towards the borough, he being loudly cheered by a crowd congregat- ed on the post office corner. It was a -. great scare for Snyder, who by the way " doesn’t want to either buy or steal a dog. The Knapp boy was re-arrested Thurs- day, for breaking into Ayres’ store, given a severe reprimand by Justice Townsend, and his case continued for two months, he being placed under the guardianship of his mother for good behavior during that time.

GIRLS WITH GOLDEN LOCKS. The dearest of girls, with a sweet old English name, Belinda, writes tome that she suffers so much because (now think of this, you girls who groan be- cause your hair is black) her hair is red! Why, she ought never pass a look- ing-glass without giving thanks that a crown of glory in this form has been given to her. Did Belinda ever take the trouble to think out the famous women who have had red hair? Among the rulers of the earth have been both the Catherines, who made Russia great; Marie Theresa, who saved Austria and made it the empire that it is; An ne of Austria, who ruled France for so long ; Elizabeth of England; Catherine Bor- gia and Marie Antoinette, whose blonde tresses are described as having a glint of gold in them. Among the great beauties, first and foremost is Cleopa- tra, whose burning bright hair made her a marvel to the Egyptian people. Then follows a long list of women of whom poets have written and painters made famous with their colors. Titian believed that Venus must have had red hair. The great painter Henner makes all his beautiful women with hair of the brightest red, and the woman born with hair this color is envied and imitated by women who do not possess it. Shall I tell you what a well-known literary man said to me about a young girl who brought him a story? Usually he was very unapproachable and positively teurs: “but” said he, “I never turn away a girl who has red hair, for I never knew one yet who wasn’t strong mentally. Some months ago when I needed a new office boy, out of fifty applications I selected the boy with the reddest hair, and I never had a bright- er or better one in my life."

Brush them until they look as if they were the sunshine itself, and see that the brains under them do good work—[La- dies’ Home Journal. —— 0 HOW A PRINCESS DRESSES. Though the Princess of Walesis very simple in her attire at home and when in the country, she thoroughly under- stands the art of magnificent dressing when it is required. She has taught women all over the world the beauty of simplicity, and the assumption of cot- tons has become more and more gener- al every year because she approves of them. Very fond‘pf bgth walking and driving, it is not marvelous that the complexion, and that, with her“ artistic knowledge, she is counted the best- dressed woman in England. Simplici- ty is the key-note to her attire, and it is by her influence that the well-made cloth gown and the small gown have re- tained their hold so long in the fashion- able world. When she goes yachting, l . a . la 31mple blue serge gown, trimmed w1th white braid, and a cap on which the name of the royal yacht is painted, is daughters and the one that permits them to have a thoroughly good time and enjoy the sea and the sea air as they wish to do.—[The Ladies Home Journal. JUDGE SHIPDIJN. Amember of one of the few great and leading New York law firms told the GAZETTE man Tuesday that there was not a lawyer in the whole Empire State, (who could be induced to accept one of the new U. S.

GRAND RAPle, Mich, March l3.-—One of the most protracted and phenomena} cases of suspended animation that has ever been brought to light has just ended in an entirely unexpected and singular climax. In Springport, Jackson county, this state, lives a man named Hiram McConkey, and he has lain in bed in a sound sleep for the past eight months. In July of last year, without any premonitory warning, his voice suddenly failed and he completely lost the power of speech. Medical aid was summoned and all sorts of devices resorted to, but without avail, and he remained ut- terly unable to articulate a single syllable. Aft-er a few days he became exceedingly ill and was put into bed. He at once fell into a. deep sleep, and thence into a death- like trance. As day after day passed, with no symptoms of returning consciousness, his family feared that he was dead, and again medical assistance was obtained. The physicians, now thoroughly interest ed, made a careful diagnosis of the case and found that their patient was certainly alive, but no treatment on their part had the slightest approach to restoring anima tion. Electrical currents and batteries were repeatedly brought into requisition, but the unconscious man calmly slum bered on. Gave Up All Hope. As the months wore on and experiment after experiment failed, the family and friends of the stricken man gave up all hope of his recovery and settled down to a despairing watch for the time when the unmistakable signs of dissolution would warn them that sleep had flown and death had taken up its abode in the inanimate clay. For eight long weary months was this unceasing death watch kept up, the puzzled physicians marveling and theor- izing the while, but utterly at sea. One 01 the most mysterious phases of this extra- ordinary case was that during all these long months, ever since the man first went into the trance, all the functions of the body remained in a state of absolute quies cence. Now comes the remarkable climax. On last Saturday night one of the watchers was startled to see what appeared to be a drop of perspiration on the forehead of the unconscious man. He hastily summoned the household, and they flocked to the sick bed with a feeling of awe and fast beating hearts. Suddenly drops of blood appeared :- between the pale lips, and then the life fluid gushed 'from the ears and nose. Sponges hastily dipped in warm water were applied to the sleeper’s face, and in a few minutes the blood was flowing quite freely. . Back to Life. Presently it ceased, and as it did so the eyelids slowly opened, the muscles of the face and body, which had been quite rigid, relaxed and consciousness was fully re stored. “’ith a slight effort the now wide awake man raised himself in the bed and asked what was the matter. Nourish- ment was immediately given to him, the organs of his body resumed their functions and he is now doing well and in a fair way to completely recover his health and strength. His mind is absolutely a blank as to any- thing that occurred since he entered on his long sleep, but he can recall everything that happened previous to that time, his memory not having been impaired in the slightest degree. There is rejoicing in the McCorkey household over what is consid- ered to be a case of the dead come back tc life. The doctors are sorely puzzled over the case, and as yet have no explanations tc offer. Westinghouse Thinks Bowand Insane. NEW YORK, March 13.-—Mr. W'esting- house, when questioned by a reporter about the ousting of his friends from the directory of the Union Switch and Signal company at Pittsburg through the use of proxies obtained by A. T. Rowand, the secretary of the company, said: “I do not care to have a sensation made out of this matter. The election, of course, will not stand. Rowand obtained without author- ity proxies from stockholders in favor 01 George \Vestinghouse, Jr., or A. T. R0 wand, and then used them as stated in the dispatches from Pittsburg. A protest will be entered against the election, and the stockholders whose proxies were ob- tained will make aflidavits that they in- tended them to be voted in favor of the \Vestinghouse interest. As to Mr. Ro wand’s conduct, the only charitable con- " clusion to come to is that he was not in his right mind at the time he acted in such an extraordinary manner.” The Mayor Was Helplessly Drunk. BELLEFONTAINE, 0., March 13.——The tem- perance people here are greatly shocked over the escapade of Mayor A. L. Wright, who forgot his solemn promise to them not to get drunk while in office, made a year ago, if they would elect him mayor. Last Monday he was so helplessly drunk that he had to be carried from the street up to his office. Wright had agreed to re- sign if he got drunk while he was mayor, but now he refuses to do so, and there is consequently considerable talk of tak- ing measures to have him removed from the office.
