The loss is estimated at $10,000; insured in the Agricultural of New York. . State Board of Trade. The annual meeting of the state board of trade will be held in Bridge- port Wednesday next, and members of the local board have devised a. very good plan for entertaining their visi- tors. The president of the board has appointed 15 members as chairmen of committees. It is expected that 15 towns will send from three to five dele- gates each, and one chairman will be detailed to care for the delegates of each town. He will have under him one member of the board to each dele- gate during his entire stay. The business meeting will be held at the rooms of the board and adinner will be served at the Atlantic hotel. Each member of the reception com- mittee will bear the expenses of his own and his guest’s entertainment. Thus the expenses will be evenly di- vided and the visitors be sent away favorably impressed with the hospital- ity of the local board. About County Commissioners. The Republicans, says a dispatch from Hartford, have practically deci- ded upon what action to take with ref- erence to the county commissioners. They will propose that, in exact accord with the theory of Governor Morris, as outlined in the latter’s inaugural ad- dress, it be agreed that the Democrats shall elect two county commissioners in all counties where the Democratic presidential electors received a plural- ity in the recent election, the Repub- licans electing one commissioner, and that in all counties where the Repub- licans had a plurality'two Republicans and one Democratic commissioner shall be elected. If the Democrats refuse to accede to this proposition, the Republicans will refuse to elect county commissioners and thus the governor will be called . upon to appoint three commissioners in each of the eight counties, said com- missioners to hold ofl‘icouutil the next session of the geigireraliaSSembly.

It is instructive to see how many there are who favor it and how few oppose it. And it is laughable to see how ridiculous soul. of the objections to it are. The changes on the danger from overhead wires and leaking currents have been rung so of- ten that they are aged and hoary chest- nuts, Without a particle of meat in them: So one prominent citizen, who was ‘interViewed, and who had been seeking something new against the sys- tem. raised the objection to the over- head Wires that the shadows would frighten horses. When the progress of a. CltY is obstructed by such chimerical conditions as this it is time for the city to buy a good sized cemetery and bury 1tself.—Ansouia Sentinel. ‘ - A Danbury Fire. The fire department of Danbury were called out at midnight Tuesday night to extinguish a fire in G. F. Allen’s printing office. The ther- mometer was 8 below zero. The News says: The water froze almost as soon as it left the nozzles and the lad- ders soon became so slippery that the work of the firemen was dangerous. The water froze on their coats and gloves. and transformed the men into animated icicles. The cold was so in- tense that the men at the nozzles had to be relieved frequently. G. F. Allen estimates his loss at $1,200; insurance 31.500. _The Concordia society’s loss is gloom-insurance $300. The building, - jfeh is the property of Alexander Wildman, is probably damaged to the extent of $500._ It is insured. George Hofman Dead. George Hofman died at the American Hotel on Main street, at 12.30 o’clock this morning. He was a son of John Hofman, about twenty-five years of age and employed at Buckley’s Rubber factory. He was taken sick last week at the American hotel where he has been hoarding for some time past. Dr. Huntington was summoned and found that young Hofman was suffering from congestion of the lungs. He prescribed for 1m. Yesterday afternoon be ap- peared to be worse and failed rapidly till his death as above. A few minutes before his death he revived somewhat and .said to his father who sat at his bedSIde, “Pa, I’m going to die ! Kiss me good-bye.” He then relapsed into semi-con sciousness. from which he sud- denly awoke and springing up in bed said “Yes, I’m going to' die, but I’m g01_ug to kill you first,” and suiting the action to the word he grabbed his father by the arms, and in so doing upset and extinguished a lamp that stood on a table near the bed, leaving the room in darkness. Mr. Hofman called for help, which was responded :3? and when a light was procured poor l ' eorge lay cold in death on the bed. The deceased was very popular with his shopr'nates and well liked by all, and his death will be sincerely mourned. The time of the funeral; will be an- nounced later. To See Yourself Talk. An announcement was made some time ago that a Frenchman had suc- ceeded in taking instantaneous photo- graphs of the lips of a speaker and in re- combining them in a kind of zoetrope, so as to produce the original movement and enable a deaf mute to understand what was said. It is now stated that the inventor has improved on the process and brought out a new apparatus for combining the "images“ the device being termed the phonoscope. The changes of the lips in speaking are so rapid that fifteen photo- graphs a. second are required to give a. good result. The Whole head and bust of the speaker are reproduced in the photograph so as to get the benefit of the expression. In the phonoscope the positives are ar- ranged around the periphery of a disk which is rapidly turned by a. handle. A second disk, having a single window in it opposite the plates, is also rotated by the same handle, but at a. much higher rate of speed than the other. . A beam of sunlight illuminates. the plates from behind and the observer looking into the apparatus sees them pass his eye one after the other in such rapid succession as to produce the effect of a single image endowed with animation. To produce this result it is necessary that at least ten or twelve must pass the retina in a second. Testing His Friendship.
