Bread For the Hungry.

The New York World honors itself
and humanity by establishing to-day in
New York city, free bread depots for
the hungry poor. This, 'too, in the
fruitful and prosperous year of grace
1893, and of the reign of its last fall
greatly eulogised candidate, Grover,
the first six months.

Better Times Ahead.

Within the past few days there has
been a marked improvement in the
financial and business situation. The
Treasury has been issuing an increased
volume of currency, gold is coming

here from Europe in .
osits have increased, and the tone

dop . .
cles is more

of feeling in banking cir
nt than for months past. Money
is much easier to obtain, and is no
longer at a premium, except where very
large sums are asked for. Many sayings
banks have already Withdrawn their
sixty-day rule, the skies are certainly
clearer and brighter, and many hopeful
signs give assurance that the worst is
over. \This much of restored confi-
dence among the bankers will soon
have its effect among the common peo-
ple,-who have greatly added to the
money-pinch by hoarding their savings.

Another Suspended Pensioner.

Lewis D. Corbin of Hartford, ayet-
eran pensioner, 61 years old and in a
debilitated condition, who draws $6 a
month, is among the recent veterans
whose pensions have been suspended.
He was a member of Co. A, 46th Mass.
He participated in the battles of King-
ston, Goldsboro,Batcheller’s Creek,and
in the attack upon Newberne at the
Red House.- When he enlisted he was
a noted athlete, excelling in physical
activity and endurance any man in the
regiment. .. In February, 1863, he was
compelled to wade a branch of'the
Trent river near Newberne, and then
remain all night in the cold, bleak,win-
try weather on picket duty in. his wet
clothes. He dates his miseries from
that night’s exposure.‘ The Courant
notes that Mr. Corbin voted the demo-

cratic ticket last falland is new reflect-

ing upon the friendship for the old sol-

diers displayed by the Hon. Hoke

Smith, President Cleveland’s Secretary
of the Interior who directs the affairs
of the Pension Office.

Tried the Finch Game. -

Hugh Yeoumans, a farmer living just
outside of Washington, N. J. has been
hearing a great deal lately about the
unsoundneés of banks and concluded
yesterday to start an run on the First
National bank of that place on his own
account. He had about $1,000 on de-
posit. .
Promptly at the opening of the bank
yesterday morning he appeared at the
cashier’s window for his money and was
paid the entire amount in silver dollars.
Shouldering his burden he started for
home. He had hardly arrived there
before he changed his mind, and con-

cluded he would take the money back.

'He reached the bank just before clos-

ing hours yesterday afternoon only to
be politely informed that they did not
care to open an account with him again.

Once'rrnoi'e‘he shOuldé'red his seven-
ty-five pounds of silver, and stopping

long enough at a hardware store to buy-

a cheap revolver. he left for his farm,
intending to stand guard night and day
over his treasure until the present
financial flurry shall have subdued.

’ The Washington bank is one of the
soundest in the state. It' possesses a
large surplus, and its stock is at a high
premium and is always in demand.

 

Typical Instances.
A gentleman residing in a neighbor-
ing town recently presented a check to

.one of our local banks, and was given

a draft on New York, this he carried
about for a week or two, and then pre-
sented it to the bank for payment.
The bank cashed it less the currency
premium, and the holder of'the cash
promptly rented a safe deposit‘box and
locked up the cash. '

It .is said that a Safe Deposit Co. in
New Haven had one hundred and sixty-
five vacant boxes prior to this spell of
financial cyclone weather; and now
they are all rented by people who have
presumably locked up more or. lees
currency. '

It is this sort of work by‘people who
are easily rattled that makes‘money so
scarce, and when theiriheads get level
again, we may 1001: for eaSy money:

In Congress.

“ Nero fiddled while Rome burned”
and the National House of Represents-
tives had no end of fun,while the country
suffers and waits for serious legislation.
The whole time of the house was given
up to five-minute speeches, and, with
many of the orators anxious to impress
their constituents it was a wild gallop
of words against time. In a few in-
stances the House was indulgent enough
to extend the limit upon the flood of
speeches when they were real funny.

off the following on Bynum of Indiana:
“ Brave was he, Mr. Speaker, as the
sluggard who was told to go to the ant:

“What, go to the ant? ” said the sluggard,
“What’s. waste of time that would be 2

To In picnic I’ll hie and Sit down by my pie.
An there let the ants come to me.”

When the shrieks of laughter that
greeted this impromptu doggerel had
subsided, Mr. Bynum, rose and de-
clared that while in Colorado he had
been overcome with the hospitality of
the state and was not r‘esponsible for
his utterances. “I have sinned,” he
said, and ask forgiveness.” '

 

 

Condition of the Cleveland’s.
_ An interviewwith Mr. Henry E. Per-
rine, of Buffalo, Mrs. Cleveland’s step-
father, gives. with undoubted accuracy,
9. correct statement of the state of
health of the President and his wife.
Mr. Perrine said:

0‘ ‘We are in constant communication
With Mr. Cleveland, and I am prepared
to say that his health is very good, and
that the onlyillness he has is that inci-
dental to anXiety and work at this time.
In reference to another and more deli-
cate _matter, Mr. Perrine said: ‘ Mrs.
Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland’s mother, will
go east about the, middle of next
month.’ ”

The Storm in the State.

Reports of damage along the shore at
New Haven. show that it is even more
severe than, at first supposed, and wil
.foot up thousands of dollars. All along
the shore at Savin Rock the water front
is wrecked and washed out. All of the
bathing pavilions'are severely damaged,
boats are wrecked and small buildings
and trees blown down. It is estimated
that the loss will exceed $20,000 at this
paint alone. It is believed that the
damage along the harbor in thecity
will be over $100,000.

At Meriden the storm did reat dam-
age to the peach orchar s in that
vicinity, blowing the half ripe fruit
from the trees, and blowing down many
of them. In the orchards of the Con-
necticut Valley Orchard Co. the gigs

e
crop promised well, having been but
little affected by the yellows, but it is
now badly damaged.

.The damage to crops in the farming
districts north of Hartford, as a result
of the storm. will amount to thousands
of dollars. Reports from the farming
districts are obtainable only b train,
but they show that the corn an tobac-
co in particular have suffered severely.
All along the line of the Consolidated
road at Bloomfield, Wimson, Windsor
Locks'and Sufiield, the fields of corn
may be seen levelled to the ground and
in some cases the fields are plowed up.
The tobacco crop, which it was thought
would be the best for some years and
which was saved by the recent rains, is
badly wrecked. The leaves are torn
and split- aud in many cases fully a
third of the crop is ruined. It is
aggnght that the loss will be over $75,-

The velocity of the wind at New Lon-
don was considerably over 50 miles an
hour, fiercer than ever before recorded
even during the memorable blizzard of
’88. The result of it is that incalcula-
ble damage has been done to things on
land and sea.

During the storm 9. large number of
vessels steered into Niantic bay for
"safety. Nearly all of these were
wrecked on the shore by the gale,
which was blowing furiously from the
Isontheast and later from-the south,
which carried the craft of all sizes to
'the beach, where a majority of them
are broken and damaged beyond re-
pair. It was estimated that vessels to
the number of twenty were either sunk
or wrecked at this point and possibly
half as many at Crescent Beach.
