The New Jersey Franklinite Steel 3..

Zinc Co. have secured options on sev-
eral large pieces of land on Saugatuck
River with a view to locate their works
thereon. If the company can secure a"
hundred acres of land they will locate
here, and if they cannot, will locate
near Bridgeport, where it is said 'four
hundred acres of land can be obtained.

A valuable bed of fiuxing clay was
found on Imperial avenue on the Fel-
lows property. The bed extends north
west about a mile. to the Brinkerhofi'
farm and is about six hundred and fifty
feet wide. This kind of clay contains
about one per cent. of aluminium and
is used for fine polishing. Quantities
are taken daily as trial samples.

A Special Meeting of the L. A.LW.

A call has been issued by the Eastern
bicyclists including the Connecticut
and New York divisions Of the League
of American Wheelmen for a special
assembly meeting of that organization.
The call has been forwarded to Presi-
dent Dunn, and the President has de-
cided to call the meeting. It was re-
quested that the meeting be held at
Hartford. The request has been ac-
ceded tO, and the meeting will convene
at that place on Sept. 9 and 10. It will
be held at the time Of the Hartford
race meet. .

The purpose of the meeting is to dis-
cuss the racing troubles and the alli
ance with the Amateur Athletic Union.
A number of other questions will also
come up for adjustment. The Western
delegates were desirous of having the
meeting held at Detroit in August, but
on account of the inability of many to
get to Detroit a more central location
has been chosen.

The meeting will be one of the most
important ever held in the history of
the League.

Don’t Be Deceived

by dealers who “cut” prices. “Cut.
ting prices leads to “cutting” goods.

For this reason and to§protect the pub- 7'

lie, the genuine medicines of Dr. R V
Pierce are now sold only through regu-
larly authorized- agents, who can sell
only at the following long established
prices:

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov-
ery (for the Liver. Blood and Lungs),
. . . $1.00 per bottle. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription (for woman’s
weaknesses and derangements), . . .
$1.00 per bottle. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets (for the liver), 25 cents
per vial.

The enuine medicines, which can be
had on y at these prices, are the cheap-
est- remedies you can use, for they’re
guaranteed. It’s-“value received or no
pay."’ .In every case where Dr. Pierce’s
medicines fail to give satisfaction, the
makers will return the money. But,
they want to be sure that yOu get their
medicines, and not their bottles refilled
or tampered with, or spuriori imita-
trons. ,

Refuse everything offered as Dr.
Pierce’s ' medicines at less than the
above prices. They are generally spu-
nous.

 

Constipation is positively cured by
Carter’s Little Liver Pills.. Not by
purging and weakening the bowels,
but by regulating- and strengthening
them. _ This is done by improving the
digestion and stimulating the liver to
the proper secretion of bile, when the
bowels will perform their customary
functions in an eas and natural man-
ner. Purgative pi ls must be avoided.‘

Price 25 cents.

 

 

WATER A‘T A‘ROYAL BANQUET.

The Queen’s Guests Driven From
Their Seats at Windsor.

The following are the details of the
water pipe burstin the Queen’s palace,
Tuesday night, to which reference was
made in Wednesidayls DAILY GAZETTE:

It did not become generally known
until this morning that there was a most
strange and exciting scene at the royal
banquet given at“ Windsor Castle last
night in honor of the Queen’s imperial
grandson. It appears that a large wa~
ter pipe burst in the banquet hall while
the Queen was entertaining the Empe-
ror and party of, distinguished guests,
a majority of whom? Were members of
the royal and imperial. families. The

' result was that the hall ‘was , almost,
Finding that the

combined efforts of the Queen’s attend-
ants and of the castle servants were
powerless to check the flow of water
from the broken pipe it was found nec-
essary to summon the fire department,
who eventually succeeded in turning
the water Off.

Some time elapsed before order was
restored and before the Queen‘s guests
were able to resume their seats at the
table and managed to continue. the ban-
quet in the much dampened hall.

A state banquet was given in St.
George’s hall last night. The guests sat
ata table 150 feet long,uponwhich were
displayed gold candelabras and the
whole of the royal plate, valued at £1,-
800,000.

Golden Wedding.

We have been furnished with the fol-
lowing additional particulars Of the
very interesting golden wedding anni-
versary of the parents Of Mr. O. E-
Wilson, of Norwalk, which occurred on
the 30th ult. . Just fifty years that day
Norman A. Wilson, of Harwinton, and

 

'Harriet L. Griswold, of Torrington,

were married by the Rev. Samuel Day.
The couple have resided in Harwinton
ever since. Ex-Senator Lewis Catlin
and his sister, Mrs. Webster, who were
present, are the only persons now liv-
ing who were also present at their mar-
riage. NO man has done more for his
native town than Mr. Wilson and so it
was not surprising that a. hundred and

'more of his fellow towns people assem-

bled to do him honor, and also to pre-
sent him an easy chair. The Torring-
ton Register for which paper Mr. Wil-
son has: been a valued contributor for
years, sent him a large rattan rocker,
and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. O. E. Wilson, gave their par-
ents abright golden eagle each. Six
children, foursons and two daughters,
survive to bless and make happy the
declining years Of their aged and wor-
thy parents.

Leary’s Raft is Coming On.

NEWPORT, July 9.——The tugs Ocean
King and E. F. Luckenbach arrived in
Dutch Island harbor at 7 o’clock this
morning with their big Leary raft of
logs in tow. They left Cape Pogue,
Vineyard Sound, yesterday morning
and last night found the wind and sea
so high that it was deemed best to put
in here for a harbor. The raft is all
right, but severe. wrenching and possi-
ble breaking was feared from the rough
water. The wind has subsided and the
tugs and tow will proceed toward New
York as soon asthe sea becomes calmer.

 

 

 

Dying of Lockjaw.
NEW HAVEN, July 9.—Josephene
Wallace, the woman who by jumping

from a carriage at the shore about ten
days ago, broke her ankle, is at the

hospital suffering from lockjaw and her
cOndition is serious. The woman sus-
tained a compound fracture of the
ankle and the case was a very serious
one when she. reached the hospital.
The physicians there did all they
could to save the limb, but Sunday
lockjaw set in, and in hopes of saving
her life the limb was amputated. The
amputation seemed to have the effect
of improving her condition, but she is
still in danger. Her home is at 147
State street in this city.

dent occurred yesterday morning on

A Traveling Salesman Missing.

MERIDEN, July 9.—George H. Tuttle
of this city, a traveling salesman for
Warner Jr 00., tailors, Of Hartford, has
been missing from his home since last
Thursday. .He ran two clothing clubs
here, and had taken in about $3,000.
He had $1,400 of this sum in the bank
but drew it out some time ago.

 

If you had taken two of Carter’s Lit-
tle Pills before retiring you would not
have had that. coated tongue or bad
taste in the mouth this morning. Keep
a'vial with you for occasional use." ‘

WhenI began using Ely’s Cream
Balm my catarrh was so bad I had
headache the whole time and discharged

has almost entirely disappeared and I

Commodore Burritt Wins.
The tenth annual regatta of the'New

Haven Yacht club was sailed Wednesday , ,

and everything combined to make it

an interesting and exciting one. ’ The _

wind was very favorable to the yachts-
men, and the whole race down to the
mouth of the Housatonic river and
back was close and exciting. The Elm
City accompanied the yachts over the
course and about 800 spectators wit-
nessed the race from the steamer.

The start was made shortly after
eleven o’clock in the morning. , The
wind blew from the northwest and the
yachts had no trouble in getting over
the imaginary line between the steam-
er Messenger, On which were the judges,
and Pardee’s buoy. The course was to
the mouth of the Housatonic river and
return, in all a little over twenty miles.
. The Dare Devil was the first to go
over the starting line, going aeross un-
der full sail only a few seconds after
the starting gun had been fired. The
Carrie W. was second, the Mariota
third and the Champion, Commodore
Frank Burritt’s new boat, fourth.
Then followed the Stranger, Aria,
Wanda and the Rival in the order
named. The latter yacht is a speeder
and she had not crossed the line ‘long
before she caught up with the leaders
and commenced to show her speed.

The race was a pretty one all the way

down to the turning point, but when
the yachts had squared away for home
the real racing began. The Wanda,
carrying as much canvas as she had,
came bowling along with Jack Macau-
ley’s Stranger keeping her company.
The Wanda was clearly outSpeeding a
great many of the other yachts when
she got too near the shore and lost ’ the
breeze and also a great advantage that
she had gained. The Champion was
the first to cross the finish line, having
outstripped all the other yachts. She
was closely followed by the Rival,
which had been the last to go cut; then
the Flora and the Stranger. . The lat-
ter yacht was sailed over the course by
her owner, Jack Macauley, and there
does not seem to be any boat in ,her
class, or in some others, fast enough to
beat her out. The Stranger was en-
tered in class four, twenty-two feet to
twenty-eight feet, but there were no
other competitors in this class and be-
fore the race Macauley entered in class
three, for yachts twenty-eight feet to
thirty-three feet. She won first money
in this race and Captain Waterhouse of
the Wanda thought it was an injustice
to him in giving the first prize to the
Stranger. He claims that he did not
know that the Stranger was entered in
the class the Wanda was in, and if he
had he would not have sailed his boat
against her. He further said that he
would not sail his boat again in another
race.

The Stranger won the Warren chal-
lenge cup and a special prize for best
corrected time in Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The Stranger’s corrected time was
3:52:26.

The Rival took $80, the first prize,
and the Derby challenge cup for win-
ning in Class 2. The Flora received
the second prize, $10, the Wanda the
second prize,.$10, in Class 3, and the
Champion, the first prize, 320, in Class 6.

A Narrow Escape.

When the steamer John H. Starin
was off Penfield Reef Tuesday night on
her return from Glen Island, asail-
boat was] sighted flying the signal Of
distress. It proved to be a 19-foot cat-
boat containing one man and two boys.
They were Robert L. Shepard of South-
port, the owner of the boat; George
Slosson, of Waterbury, and George
McKay of Southport. They had been
to'Bridgeport and were on their way
home when a squall struck the boat,
capsizing it just off Penfield “reef.

They drifted at the mercy of the wind ..
and waves until the Starin’isighted their '

signal of distress. Aline "was passed

them fromthe Starin and they were.

towed to New-Haven. Mr. Shepard,-
the owner of the boat,- on arrivingin ' p,

Car Stables on Fire.

NEW YORK, _ July 9.——There was a
ively fire at the car stables of the Sixth
Avenue Surface Railway Company, at
Sixth avenue and Forty~third street,

yesterday at noon. It could not be call.
ed a very important fire, so far as the

damage was concerned, for that will
scarcely reach $30,000; the mortality
was not large, consisting as it did Of
two horses; but the firemen had a live,
1y time for a brief hour, and every one,
including the veteran chiefs, breathed

'more freely after it was over. -.

About 900 horses were taken out safe-
ly, and only two were lost. These two
were in the hospital, and they were
both badly frightened. One of them
jumped through a window to the street
injuring itself so badly that it had to
be shot. The other broke its leg and

”it: also was shot.
