Disappearances at Sea.
The Naronic is likely to add one more
—to the long list of mysterious disappear-
ances at sea. There are now so many
steamships constantly traveling to and
fro on the ocean highway between this
country and England that it seems diffi-
cult to understand how one of them
can go astray and no trace of her be
found. Yet this is far less wonderful
than the case of Mrs. William Howard,
who walked out of her house on E11-
wood Place,‘last Sunday evening, and
notwithstanding a diligent search has
been kept up since that time not a trace
Of her has been found. .
When we remember what a petty
thing the biggest steamship is upon the ,
vast surface of the deep, and for how
long a time it is possible to sail, even
upon frequented routes; without meet-
ing other craft ; when we recall the
various dangers to which a steamer
may be exposed from within and from
without in this great solitude of waters, .
the marvel is rather that so few are ac-
tually lost.
Old men can still remember the dis-
appearance Of the President, half a cen-
tury ago, which sailed from New York .
for Liverpool and never was heard of.
The history Of transatlantic steam nav-
igation has many instances of mysteri-
ous disappearences. The names of the
City of Glasgow and of the Pacific, of
the old Collins line, readily recur. The
fate of each of these is entirely a mat-
ter of conjecture. They steamed out of
port and into oblivion. The City of
Boston was another famous case, but
some trace of her was afterwards found
in a piece of floating board, and a bot-
,tle that came ashore long afterward
told of the founding of the Zanzibar
that had left New York and had not
otherwise been heard Of.
These mysterious disappear ances
might be continued in a long ‘list in-
cluding the sloop-Of-war Wasp of which
no trace was ever found, and more
sailing vessels and ocean tramps than
it would be possible to mention. The _
whole, number of vessels lost is reckon-
ed at over two thousand annually. Of
course the greatest part of these are
wrecked upon the coast, but there is no
small number absolutely lost at sea,
and with the constantly increasmg pro-
portion of steamships the number of
these that disappear is not diminished.
What has become of the Naronic can
only be guessed. She may have been
founderéd by an explosion or by a
hurricane, she may have struck an ice-
berg Or aderelict, any --.one of a dozen
things may have happened to her. But
the friends of those on board will still
hope against hope, at least until some
trace of the missing steamer shall be
cast up by the sea.

The Gazette’s Washington Notes.
Among other good Connecticut peo-
ple who convened last evening to greet
Princess Kaiaulani at the Home of the
’ Wimodaughsis, was Dr. Emily Pardee
of Norwalk. .
Hon. John S. Seymour has made no'
personal application to the President
for the place of Commissioner of Pat-
ents, but what is far better, Mr. E. C.
Benedict of Greenwich, one of. Mr.
Cleveland’s closest friends, has filed a
request that Seymour be appomted and
if Mr. B. has not been importnned to
largely overdraw his account With the
President, in behalf of anxwus Con-
necticut patriots, Mr. Seymour’s
chances may be conSidered as highly
promising; The newspapers have given
Mr. Benedict such an extenSive adver-'
tising that he has been perfectly over-
whelmed from all parts ofthe country,
to lend his influence to aid- in procur-
ing ofiice. ,

Horribly Burned.
By the accidental bursting of a ves-
sel Of molten copper at'the works of
the Bridgeport Copper Co. yesterday
afternoon, George Callender was fright-
fully burned. and if he escapes with
his life, which now seems improbable,
he will be shockingly maimed and dis.
figured as lon as he lives. »
- Mr. Callen er is the foreman of‘th
cupola where all the casting takes
place. It was just before 6 O’clock and
he was supervising the last “pour off,”
when for some undiscovered reason
the suspended kettle burst and the
200 pounds of white hot and molten
metal it contained flew in every direc-
tion. A stream of the metal struck
him squarely and after uttering a
dreadful cry he sank to the ground un-
conscious. One jet of the metal struck
him in the face burning out one eye.
He was also burned about the body.
and upon both arms and both thighs.
Mr. Callender is about 30 years ef age
and has a wife and family.

The pool bill reported by the Judi-
.ciary committee was taken up in the
House yesterday, and recommended to
the committee. A hurried canvass
convinced the anti-pool room people
that the bill stood a poor chance of
passage in its present form, and it was
decided- to send the message back in
ified so as to permit pool-selling on
race tracks conducted by regularly in-
corporated associations.

The House debated for over two
hours on the question of abolishing
capital punishment. The majority of
the Judiciary committee reported‘un-
ing for murder, but a minorit report
favored thé measure. Mr. udd of
Litchfield opened the debate with an
earnest appeal in favor of the bill. 'He
said that it isa matter of doubt that
hanging had a deterrent effect on the
commission of murder. . Neither bibli-
cal mandate nor expediency justified
the gallows. .
Mr. Stoddard of Milford argued in
favor of capital punishment, and said
that a murderer is a menace to societ ;

alone had the right to take life. . Mr.
