We Must Protect Ourselves.
We are sorry to read the distressing
reports from Great Britain concerning
the industrial depression in that coun-
try. The cotton- trade is on the verge
of a great crisis, and'an immense strike
is threatened by the operatives against
a proposed reduction in wages, which
the Liverpool Courier asserts must take
place “if the masters are to continue in
business.” Extracts from the report
of the Chief Inspector of Factories and
Workshops in England, go to show that
the cutlery, tin-plate, boot and shoe
and other industries are prostrated in
almost an equal degree. Altogether
the situation is full of gloom, and
everywhere the McKinley tariff is
blamed for the paralysis of trade.
Found Dead. .
Edward H. Turner, aged 55 a G. A.
R. man, was found dead at his ome on
Prindle street, New Haven, yesterday
afternoon. Death was doubtless due to
heart disease. » ‘

Want the Tracks Elevated.
The proposition of the Consolidated
road to do away with the grade cross-
ings in the western part ofBrxdgeport
by lowering the tracks is meeting'w1th
opposition. Property owners want the
tracks elevated. ‘
Odd Fellows to' Meet. . ,
Odd Fellows are looking forward to
the grand encampment at Hartford
next Tuesday. -‘ The election of oflicers
for the ensuing year and other business
will be transacted, much of which Will
be of more than ordinary interest to the
order. Among the reports will be that '
of Past Grand Patriarch James E.
Camp, who last month attended as del-
egate the meeting of the sovereign
grand lodge at Portland, Oregon.
Has Disappeared.
James Crowley, a well known citizen
of Fairfield, has disappeared. One
morning two weeks ago he left his
home at the usual hour and nothing
has since-been heard from him. Every
effort has been made to obtain some
trace of‘the missing man, but if the
earth had opened and swallowed him
he could not have vanished more com-
pletely.
Crowley was employed as foreman of
the clothing department at the factor ‘
I
V
of the Fairfield Rubber company. e
came to Fairfield with the company
about eight years ago. He was always
, faithful in the discharge of his duties,
'0
and was held in high esteem by his .em-
ployers. The missing man leaves a
wife and two young children.
Bllnd Tom.
The many admirers of Blind Tom,
who were shocked by the report that he
was lost in the J ohnstown disaster, will
be glad to learn that the report was un-
founded, and that Blind Tom is well
and doing well. He will appear at the
Opera House to-morrow evening. He
is as interesting as ever, and all who
have heard him should hear him again,
and those who have never heard him
will lose a rare treat if they fail to at-
tend his wonderful recitals.
The Silver Kiniz. ~
In the great drama, “ The Silve
King,” which Carl A. Haswin and a
powerful company will present at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening, Oct.
18th, there is found all that contributes
to hold the close attention of an audi-
ence for hours. The plot is so skillfully
wrought out that it cannot fail to please
and excite, and as the breathless audi-
ences watch it unfold, the opinion that
it is the greatest melodrama of the age
becomes stronger. This company have
the sole right of production for Amere
ice, and have expended fully $30,000 in
making it perfect. They carry a full
carload of scener and all the wonder.

Silver King” is noted.

New Counterfeit Afloat.
The secret service authorities have
been advised that a new counterfeit $5
silver certificate has been put in circu-
lation at Chicago. It has the new back
and is of the series 1891 ; check letter
C ; Rosecrans, Register ; Nebeker,
Treasurer. The paper is fair and the
new distinctive fibre paper is imitated
in blue and pink ink by the use of a pen.
The face of the note bears a light im-
. pression which gives the numbering,
though good, a heavy appearance.
The portrait of Gen. Grant is poor.
The lettering, with a few exceptions, is
good and the small scalloped seal is ex-
cellent in workmanship and color. The
hnes, however are so untrue and indis-
tinct that a little scrutiny reveals the
false character of the note.

Lost l-‘lvlsVSult.
The Rev. A. P. Miller, the colored
clergyman of New Haven, has finally
lost his famous suit against the New
Jersey Steamboat company, the latest
decision against him having been made
by the New York court of appeals. He
won a verdict of $500 in the lower
court, and this was reversed by the. su-
perior court, which is now sustqined
on the ground that when Mr. Miller,
on being refused a state room, took
back his money and left the boat, he
relieved the company of all responsi-
bility. He also has to pay costs of $300.
The steamboat company tried to settle
the case‘jat one stage of the proceed-
ings, but Mr. 'Miller refused, on the
ground‘that he was making the fight to
establish rights of the colored public.

Trains Delayed.
Without warning last night the tracks
of the shoreline division of the Con-
solidated railroad across Lake Salton-
stall at East Haven dropped out of
sight. No train was crossing at the
time and it was not discove‘red until
some time after it had occurred. . The
lake has always been said to contain no
bottom and in this way the settlement
is accounted for.
A train due a short time after the
tracks disappeared was stopped. All
trains are going via Middletown to-day.
The accident has caused great excite-
ment. ,It_is estimated that about 50
feet of the tracks have disappeared.
The roadbed was made many years
ago and it was fortunate that no train
was crossing at the point when the acci-
dent occurred.

He Took the Goods.
Mr. E. A. Bruroughs is a collector
for the C. F. Adams Co. of Erie, Pa.,
which house has a branch oflice in New

business he called at the home of Miss
Alice Edmonds, who lives on South
Union avenue, to collect the install-
ments due by her to the company for a
pair of chenille curtains, valued at $11,
and a banquet lamp, valued at $5,
purchased on the 20th of September,
and for which she was to pay 50 cents
weekly. The only payment so far made
was that of $2 to the agent selling the
goods. Miss Edmonds was not at home
when Mr. Burroughs called. but Mrs.
Belle Hamilton who also has been in
debt to the firm for some months, wait-
ed on him. Mr. Burrougus had called
five times previously but each time was
unable to get a payment of any amount,
and he proceeded to take possession of
the goods. Onnttempting to leave the
house with. them, Mrs. Hamilton back-
ed up against the door and refused to
,let Burroughs out. He then, he says.
