The school house at Wequetequock, which was damaged by the efforts of the ladies to bold a Sunday school about a year ago, will be repaired by the school 'committee. When brought into the courts in the famous suit against "Mrs. F. Virginia Briggs and others," the case was thrown out by the judge and no one was responsible for repairs. The ladies are especially jubilant and claim this is an other illustration of the law of the survival of the fittest. Successful Co-operation.

The Body Not Yet Found. The body of Lewellyn Davis, the missing West Stratford man, has not yet been found. Two of his brothers who live in Seymour and Mr. Charles Cook, his brother-in-law, have been untiring in. prosecuting the search. They think the body is in the water and may have floated off into the Sound. Tuesday night a cannon was fired off Cook's Point, but the body did not appear. Old fishermen were looking for the body yesterday, it being ' the ninth-day since the man's disappearance. He was a steady man and attached to hitJl te fju&ily. AT THE MANUFACTORIES. Business As Whole In the City of Elms Work At Some or tlie Many Large Manufacturing Establish ments Hen, Work on the movement side of the clock shop in this city was resumed on Monday. Work had been suspended since the day be fore the Fourth in order to take the annual inventory, and this being the dull season of the year. Work on the case side will be re sumed a little later. At Martin's gun shop, opposite the foot of East Rock, the men are working five days a week, Monday being the holiday. At the rubber manufactory times are busy, and nearly the whole force is at work., This is the dull season of the year in the carriage manufactories, but most of them are doing a fair amount of business for the sea- n. At the New Haven Manufacturing com pany's establishment the new engine is up, and work is driving. At Governor Bigelow's boiler works in Fair Haven the new additions are about com pleted and the prospects for the fall are good. The additions consist of new boiler shops. One is a three-story building 50x100 feet and the other a one-story building 100x100 feet. The enlargement makes the boiler shops of this well known concern the largest and best equipped in the JNew tgland States. Sargent & Co., as already stated, are about erecting another large addition to their man ufactory on the east side of Wallace street. It will be ready for business in about six weeks. The men are at work in all the de partments of the establishment. About 9,000 hands are employed in the above mentioned establishments and branch es of business. At many other manufactories business is either moderately good or pretty dull, and on the whole take the city, over, the condi tion of business is not as dull as it is report ed to be in various other large manufactur ing places. Business at the Winchester armory is live ly in the machine shops, and not so brisk in the cartridge departments, but most of the great force of hands are at work, Business, as it is almost invariably, is driv ing at the Consolidated railroad shops. The corset shops are only moderately busy, and in this business, as in various others. people are manufacturing cautiously and not exceeding mucn tne immediate demands. A REMEDY. An Incident of the Cholera Season of 1854. Seeing an article in the Courier regard ing the cholera scourge in London, 1834, Mr, George Page,the lockmaker at 464 State street, writes us. He says at that time that he'was suddenly taken with the cholera. All friends immediately disappeared and no one would stay with him long enough for his wife to call a doctor and no doctor could come when called. He claims that his life was saved by the application of a mustard plaster, a harsh but effective remedy, which he recommends to any who may happen to be attacked. Visiting Veterans. On next Saturday evening Kellogg post No. 26, G. A. R., of Birmingham, with their drum corps of eighteen Sons of Veterans will visit Admiral Foote post No. 17, of this city. There will no doubt be a large attendance of comrades from the posts in this city, as the occasion will be an old-fashioned camp fire. Ilanidrn Methodists' Excursion. The Methodist Sunday school of Hamden Plains visited Parlor Rock Groveon the Housa tonic railroad yesterday. About one hundred and fifty people went on the excursion. The party was brought in barges and private car riages to the depot in this city and arrived on the return between 7 and 8 o'clock, well pleased with their day's pleasure. To Be Cared For. Superintendent Sanford of the almshouse found Maggie Shay yesterday morning, the mother of the infant which the colored wo man, Emma Stewart, wanted the Selectmen to take off her hands. The Shay girl says that the father of the child is James Dunlap, who refused to many her. She promised to care for the child without aid from the town and was then released from custody. Funeral of Miss Sarah A. Herrlty The funeral of Miss Sarah A. Herrity was held yesterday morning from St. John's R. C. church. A solemn requiem mass was celebrated, Rev. Timothy Crowley of Nor- walk celebrant, Rev. James P. Degnan of Norwich deacon, Rev. John Crowley of New Haven snb-deacon and Rev. Father Maloney of St. John's master of ceremonies. Rev. Mr. Crowley preached a funeral discourse. There was fine solo singing by Miss Mary G, Sullivan. The floral tributes were beautiful. The bearers were David O'Donnell, Edward Downes, T. Carroll, J. McCarthy, Michael Walker, William Church. Rulldlng Improvements. A fine residence is being erected on Whal- ley avenue, near Sperry street, by ex-Judge Sheldon, which it is understood will, when finished,be occupied by his married daughter and her husband. The house will be finished early in the fall. The old house next to 73 Whalley avenue has been torn down and will probably give place to another fine residence. The old shanty was from its appearance a hundred years old, and for a long time has been an eye-sore to people in that vicinity. With its removal most of the old buildings on this avenue have been removed. New and costly residences are constantly being erected in their places. The Grand Union Hotel. The creditors of Tuttle & Post, ex-proprietors of the Grand Union hotel, are anxious to find a buyer for the hotel. If the property cannot be disposed of a trustee will be asked for and the estate placed in insolvency. The actual proprietors of the hotel prove to be Mrs. Lillie E. Tuttle, wife of the missing man, and Ezra L. Post. The hotel was leased to them in February, 1883, for five years, the rental for the first year being $2,000 and for the other four years at $2,400. One of the provisions of the lease was that the hotel should be kept open continuously. It was owing to this clause probably that the estab lishment was not closed up when Deputy Sheriff Keefe attached for Olena & Craig. Mrs. Tuttle in her desertion commands the sympathy of all the creditors. Attempts to Burn a Church. The Methodist church in Milford is evi dently thought an unnecessary structure by some of the truly good people of that town. Two attempts have been made to -set fire to the building; one about a month ago, when the building got afire, but was seen to be burning before the flames had time to do much damage, and the other a few days ago, when a pile of inflammable materials that had been placed near it Jby the would-be in cendiaries was seen before the match had been applied to it. Why anyone should wish to burn the building is not easy to con jecture, but some say that is because of the effors against the liquor traffic made bv the parson and other prominent members. There is a disorderly element even in Milford which craves nothing so much as free beer and re venge upon those who would have all men Ltemperate. Funeral of Rev. Joel Mann. Funeral services were held over the re mains of the Rev. Joel Mann at the Daven port church yesterday forenoon. The Rev. I. C. Meserve officiated. The services were impressive and interesting. Rev. Mr. Me serve reviewed the long life of devoted Christian work of the deceased. The open ing and closing prayers were strikingly ap propriate. A quartette consisting or juts. Blinn, Mrs. B. H. Douglass, jr., George P. Smith and F. A. Corbin rendered some ap propriate music. The three hymns sung in tone and sentiment accorded well with the funeral occasion. Among the audience were Mr. E. Sanford, ninety-five, and Deacon L. Osborn, ninety-two years of age. Eev. W. Whittlesey and others advanced in years were present, but none of the deceased's re lations. He had outlived three generations, reaching the great age of 95 years and 5 months. The remains were taken to New port for interment. Humor In the Stomach. Much of the distress and sickness attribu ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other auses is occasioned by humor in the stom ach. Several cases, with all the character istics of these complaints, have been cured by Hood's Sarsaparula. Other cures effect ed by this medicine are so wonderful that the simple statenMot of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents nd when once used secures we commence the people. .. . WEST HAVEN. Large Gatherings at the Shore Tf ester- day Two Big Parties at Howes Rink The News at Savin Roek. Yesterday was a great day for Savin Rock. It was much the largest day of the season. The crowds that came from abroad were sup plemented by a steady influx of people from the city, who were driven to the cool, se ductive breezes of the shore by the extreme heat of the town. The full force of horse cars was brought into use and the cars were well filled all day long. Toward evening the cars were doubled and were crowded. The largest single party that visited the shore yesterday was the Hibernians of Hol yoke, Mass. They arrived by special train about 11 o'clock in the morning and were conveyed to Howes' pavilion and Skating rink in the steamer Philadelphia. The par ty numbered between 600 and 600 Teople and they dined at Howes'. They were joined about 1 o'clock by about 300 people from Port Jefferson, I., who were landed at Kelsey's wharf by the steamer Nonowantuok. The main center of attraction was the ska ting rink, which was crowded all day and evening. The visitors scattered about the shore, visiting all points of interest. Many went in bathing. At Howes' pavilion Thomas' orchestra played for dancing ana Beecher was the prompter. The West Ha ven band played during the afternoon and evening at the rink and during the evening many of the best skaters of the city were on the floor. The party from Port Jefferson intended to leave at 3 p. m., but the Nonowantuck was fast on the sand at that time, as the tide was out. This necessitated a prolongation of the stay of the Long Islanders until after 8 in the evening, but they passed the time very pleasantly. Fully 1,200 people were at the shore yesterday. A son was born to Harry E. and Minnie Parmelee on July 20. The hotels on the shore are fast filling up. The guests, many of them, are those who like the shore well enough to come every sum mer. The horse cars brought back the Holyoke party from Howes'. A TELEPHONE SYMPHONY. At His End. ' "Halloo, halloo!" "Yes." "Halloo." "Say, central office, who's talking on this wire?" 'Halloo!" "Well, what's wanted?" (Very sharply.) "No." "Who is it talking'" Silence for a moment. "Well, what is it?" "Halloo! !" (Very emphatic.) "Say, if you want anything, say so!" "O, it's you, is it?" (With sudden soft ness of tone.) "Very well, thank you." "Why, certainly." "Oh, yes, I'll be there at 8 o'clock, old place. "Ta-ta." German Methodists at South End. The members of the German Methodist church Sunday school went to South End yesterday on their annual picnic. . The gath ering was quite large. A fine time was had Lawn Tennis at Litchfield. A lawn tennis tournament will be held at Litchfield, August 6 and 7. Professor Beebe of Yale college, who is stopping at Litchfield. is managing the affair. The Yale expert: and the Waterbury club have entered and the Bridgeporters have been invited to par ticipate. Annual Picnic of the Teutonla Men ner Chor. The Teutonia Mfenner Chor hold their annual picnic at Basserman's Grove next Monday. The Chor have been rehearsing some for the occasion and will undoubtedly render some very fine selections. Good music will be furnished for dancing. The prospects are favorable for a very enjoyable day. East Pearl Street Church Picnic. The East Pearl street M. E. church and Sunday school, Fair Haven, picnicked at High Rock yesterday. It was a large party and the day was greatly enjoyed. The pas tor, Rev. Mr. Cunningham, and many of the leading members of the congregation were in the happy throng. It was one of the best picnics of the season. A Brood of Eleven Quails. A Norwich gentleman set a bantam hen on eleven quail eggs at 4 o'clock in the after noon of June 28, and Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock had the satisfaction of seeing eleven young quails step out and take a view of his premises. The young brood is doing well and will prove a source of delight to the ban tam Until they begin to show the proclivities of their kind, when the old woman is likely to see trouble. The time in hatching was just the twenty-three days, barring the ex cess of a few hours,allowed by ornithologists. List of Patents.

The funeral of the late John Richardson took place yesterday afternoon from the resi dence of the family on Pearl street. The Rev. Mr. Meserve officiated and spoke very appropriate words of consolation to the be reaved, and of the brevity of human life and the rest beyond. There was a very beautiful pillow of flowers upon which were the words Our Father." Deceased was an excellent and very worthy citizen. He for years had conducted the business of lock manufactur ing in rooms in the Goodyear Axle manufac tory on State street. He leaves a wife and several children who will mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. Deceased was about sixty years of age and had been sick with a wasting illness of a number of months' duration. The disease appeared to be a can cerous affection of the stomach. Many friends will mourn his loss. Death of William Starker. Mr. William Starkey, an . old and well known citizen of New Haven for many years, died at the residence of his son, William Starkey, jr., in Chicago, Tuesday night. He resided for many years in the lower part of the city and was long engaged in the rope manufacturing business, at one time having his place of business on a vacant lot where the new buildings of the rubber shop now stand. Later he carried on the grocery busi ness on East street. He enlisted in the Ninth Connecticut Volunteers in Company A, and served as commissary sergeant for a long time. He was 72 years of age at the time of his death. The burial will take place from St. Patrick's church on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, when mass will be celebrated for the repose of his soul. The pall bearers will be selected from the veterans of the Ninth C. Y., and all members of the old regiment are requested to attend. The remains will be interred in St. Bernard's cemetery. Death of a Clergyman and an Old Tale snacni. The death of Rev. James Taylor Dickin son, of Middlefield, removes a clergyman who was long in active service, a very useful man and a fine speaker. In his early min istry he was considered a very brilliant speaker. He was born in Lewis county, New York, and graduated at Yale in 1826. He was first settled over the Congregational church in Norwich; this was in 1832. For the health of himself, in 1834, he resigned his charge, studied medicine and went as a missionary to India where he remained eight years, returning on account of ill health. He went to Meriden, where his sis ter, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Perkins, pastor of the Congregational church, resided; thence he went to Middlefield and was pastor for a year more. He married a sister of the late David Lyman, of Middlefield, and built a house on the Lyman property. Most of his time since he spent in traveling and read ing. His library contained about 12,000 volumes. His age was 78. He died of paralysis. LAST NIGHTS STORM. A Breaded Cyclone Happily Averted The Amount of Rainfall Six-tenths fan Inch. Masses of dark, portentous clouds hung over the western sky last evening about 7 o'clock. The hurrying winds from that quarter soon sped the sullen-visaged clouds over the sky causing it to present a peculiar appearance and one that threatened a savage storm. Soon the rain drops began to fall; and for an hour or more they came down in bucketful. The usual number of people sighed for umbrellas, and some sighing went and borrowed. The dreaded cyclonic devas tation deterred others from purloining their neighbors' property. But no cyclone came, no lightning flashed. Nevertheless telephone wires were disarranged and the people, who were at Savin Rock had their ardor dampen ed considerably. The boats in the harbor felt the effect of the storm and before it struck there was a general rushing for shelter. The total amount of rainfall was six-tenths of an inch. The storm was a local one, al though there were a number of showers at the same time in places near here. Very little damage was reported. MISSING EMMA WARNER, Strange Freak of a Young Girl Un accountably . Wandering Ofl" From Home. Emma Warner, a young girl fourteen years of age, has disappeared from her uncle's house in West Ansonia where she lived. Her father, Charles Warner, lives in Hamden. The girl has been sick with malarial fever and has been acting strangely lately. Mon day she disappeared. Later in the day word was received that she had been at the residence of Dwight J. Downs on the old town road, West Ansonia, leading toward Derby Neck. Here she inquired for Mr. Downs, saying that she had left her un cle's on account of ill treatment and wanted Mr. Downs to give her some money and take her to the depot so that she could go to her home in Hamden. This was refused and she was advised to go back to her aunt's. But instead she continued toward Derby Neck, stopping at two or three different houses and asking for money. The last person who saw her was an Irish woman who was acquainted with her and spoke to tier, but did not get any reply. She then watched her as she ran down the road near what is called the old cider mill, where all traces of her after wan derings were lost. Search has been made, but has been unavailing thus far. SALVATION ARMV DAY. Great Jubilee at the I7nlon Street Bar racks Very Successful Ice Cream Fes tivalMany In Attendance. Yesterday was a great day for the Salva tion Army. It was their annual jubilee and ice cream festival. There were present rep resentatives from Bridgeport, New London and Lawrence, Mass. , Major Moore, Capt. Walsh, the converted minstrel, and Capt, Wray, of the headquarters in Brooklyn, Some of the new mottoes on the wall are "God is love, repent and be saved," "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found." The ice cream sold for five cents per plate only. At 7 :30 they prepared for an open air meet ing, but the rain coming on interfered some what with their plans and they held a meeting in the hall instead. They sang almost all the songs in the song book, marching around the hall, beating drums and shouting and singing. Among the personages on the stage at the opening of the jubilee were Happy Jack, Salvation Army Mary, Happy Hob and Major Moore. After the opening prayer the converted min strel sang a hymn composed by himself in fine style. The major in his remarks referred to newspapers in this city as trying to make them out as nuisances, but that was the best kind or advertisement for them. In an in terview with Major Moore, "who is an intelli gent looking man of forty-five years and has a sugnt cockney aceent in Jus speech, he said that when he arrived in this country six months ago there were only 46 baracks, but now tnere are b, wren otners springing up ngnt along, and tnere are about ou in (Jan ada. They open in Albany next Sunday, and in Boston the second Sunday in August. There are from 15,000 to 20,000 members of the Army in this country. The male captains of each station receive $6 per week, and the female captains $5, but they have to pay their rent first, and if the amount collected by contribution is not sul- ncient tne Headquarters supply tne den ciency. In the hall last evening there were about one hundred and fifty people present and about hfty Salvationists. SUMMER NOTES. New Haven People Enjoying Them selvesVarious Connecticut Water ing Places. M. Kahn, the tobacconist, has gone to Sar atoga. William C. Palmer entertained the Ram blers' Bicycle club at the Forbes House Tuesday evening. Wallace H.

In Madison, which, as a watering place, is looking up, there are many summer boarders more tnan was ever before known. The demand for rooms has threatened to exceed the supply, and taking boarders is more fashionable this season than ever. The hotels along the shore have not had a very successful season yet, and the hot weather has yet to come. So much of the summer has come and gone already that the chances for a bonanza this year are dwindling. Still with the hot August there will be a big rusn to tne snore nouses. At Short Beach the cottasres are all occu pied and the boarding houses are full. The interest in Short Beach as a modest and un pretending shore resort increases vear bv year, and the future will probably be of a runner encouraging nature in this direc tion. Selectman William H. Beecher and wife will leave for Ontonagon, on the shores of Lake Superior, to-day. They will be absent about one month. Gen. George M. Harmon is at Lake Point cottage. Manager P. K.

Arrival of the Fleet at Newport A Fine Sail The Order and Time of Arrival A Visitor Welcomed. NkwpoUt, R, I., July 23 Evening. After a delightful sail from New London the squadron came to anchor here late this after noon. The wind was light until the fleet arrived well up the harbor. The time, ex cept that for the Wild Duck and Ceres, was remarkably close, as will be observed by the annexed schedule: Just after rounding Fort Adams a whole bag full of wind came out of the cove that makes up just to the eastward of the fort, calling into requisition all the seamanship of the several crews. The cut ter Rajah behaved well, as did also the Miner, va, and in fact so did Vixen and Sea Belle. These latter crafts, however, took in their mainsails and run up to anchorage under their jibs. The mck and the Ueres bore off the palm to-day. It should be stated, how ever, that the Minerva started a half hour late and that the Pigeon called in at Stoning ton, which delayed her. The order and time of arrival is as follows: Wild Duck, 4:10; Ceres, 4:35; Zephyr, 5:09; Rajah, 5:11; Minerva, 5:13; Sea Belle, 5:18; Vixen, 5:21; Acme, 5:24.
