Salvationists In Jail.
The Bndgepoet Salvationists are again in
the toils. Warrants have been served on them
for parading on Sunday without a permit.
Yesterday they were fined $t and costs or 5
days is jail. AH but one chose the jail,
Mrs. Anna Mather appealed. A Bridgeport
paper has this to say of the Army: The
names of those included may be found else
where. Some say that the parade occurred
- at the instigation of Captain Hunter, who
was present on that day, and others deny the
fact. The Salvation Army makes all respec
table people tired. Their antics look like a
regular put-up job. It appears to outsiders
that when the fervor becomes lax and money
doesn t flow in readily, the whole gang plan
to Kftteken by ie police, and theiTjU, as
martyrs, when the funds come forth freely
gtan, and the meetings are well attended.

A KISSING MAN,
Sag
Harbor's
Assistant
Lighthouse
Keeper. -
There are no tidings yet of young Ernest
Williamson, the assistant keeper of the Cedar
Island light, off Sag Harbor, who has been
missing since Saturday afternoon. William
son is supposed to have been drowned or to
have committed suicide. Captain Tooker,
keeper of the lighthouse, reported "William
son's absence on Saturday night. Since then
rescue parties have been dragging the bottom
of the harbor in the hope of finding his body.
Williamson took a boat on Saturday to row
from the island across the harbor to Sag
Harbor. The Boat with one oar in it was
picked up adrift later in the day by a pass
ing fishing smack. The missing man is the
son of Wallace Williamson, of Sag Harbor.

William Farmalee, a young man nineteen
years old, single and living at 50 Silver

The Meeting of the Independent Boi
ler Club Last Night.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the Inde-
uendent Butler club was held last night at
Day's hall, corner of Broadway and York
street. Mr. McMahon was elected chairman.
They characterized Cleveland as an enemy to
the workingman and cited numerous instances
where Cleveland vetoed "bills directly affeet-
incr the workingmen of this country. The
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, The "kid glove Democracy,"
which met at Chicago July 8th has ignored
labor and labor s rights m the person of Ben
jamin F. Butler; it is, therefore,
Resolved, That we tne inaepenaent Butler
club of the Ninth ward do ignore the candi
date of the "kid giove Democracy" ana vote

The above resolution was received witn ap
plause. A committee of three was appointed
to confer with the Central club at their next
meeting to be held at their rooms in the Yale
National bank building. The meeting ad
journed subject to the call of the president.
Explosion at Hazardville 200 Pounds
of Powder.
A wheel mill at the Hazard Powder com
pany's works at Hazardville, containing
about 100 pounds of powder, blew up at 3:20
yesterday morning. No one was injured.
The sound of the explosion was distinctly
heard in Springfield, about twelve miles dis
tant. A New Road.
A number of persons from Stamford went
over to Darien on Tuesday to meet with resi
dents of that village the Selectmen and com
missioners in reference to the building of a
road to Stevens' Point, a somewhat well
known summer resort. After a discussion of
the question, the party were treated to a
shore dinner, and the success of the project
is looked upon as assured.

bition of fancy skating. Tickets can be pro
cured of members of the society. The com
mittee in charge consists of C. D. Albee,
John A. Peckham, C. E. Dewey, Geo. W,
Smith, L. Palmatier. The exension will
certainly be an enjoyable affair.
The Hartford Saengernnnd's Picnic,
The Hartford Saengerbund's annual festi
val and picnic at Union Grove, Hartford,
Monday, was one of the most successful of
long series of similar entertainments. Large
delegations came from Springfield, Water-
bury, Meriden, New Haven and Bridgeport,
and were received at the depot by the Hart
ford Saengerbund and Colt's band and es
corted through the streets to the grove. At
the grove Colt's band played concert selec
tions and the singing societies sang rolliok
ing German songs. There was- a big crowd
out in the evening.
A Curious Rumor.
Social circles were electrified last winter
by the intelligence that Dr. Webster Jones,
son of the late Rev. Henry Jones of Bridge
port, and a prominent physician in Chicago;
had abandoned his wife and practice and
fled first to Canada, then to Europe with a
Mrs. Biglow. The affair was a genuine sen
sation at the time. Mrs. Jones gave up her
handsome Chicago house, sold most of the
furniture and removed to Bridgeport where
she took up her residence with Mrs. Henry
Jones, mother of her husband, on Washing
ton avenue. The most important bric-a-brae
was shipped to Bridgeport and stored in
Water street. The story is revived
by a Bridgeport dispatch to the World,
which states that both Mrs. Jones
and her husband's mother asserted
from the first that Dr. Jones "was
asleep and upon his awaking would return
Mrs. Jones preserves a picture once valued
by her husband, and his pet dog. It has re
cently been learned that Dr. Jones has tired
of his runaway companion and is living apart
from her in London. A friend of the familv
has sailed to bring him home if possible, and
nas just about reached there. It is claimed
that the pet dog acts as if he expected his
master every moment and continually runs
to the gate as though to meet and welcome
him. The result of the affair is waited with
interest.
Death of Sidney Babcock.
At half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning
Sidney Babcock died at his residence, No. 26
High street, aged 87. He had been ill somo
time. He leaves four daughters and one son,
Henry H. Babcock, who succeeded his father
in the bookselling business on Orange street.
The late Mr. Babcock was born in Hartford
and came to New Haven when quite young.
He learned the business of a book publisher
with his father, John Babcock, at one time a
member of the publishing house of Increase
Cook & Co. This firm in 1806 published the
first edition of Noah Webster's dictionary, a
copy of which is now in the possession of H.
H. Babcock, son of the deceased. Mr. Bab
cock after being in partnership with his
father for a time succeeded him in business.
He carried on a large book binding and
manufactory of school books on Church
street nearly opposite where now stands the
postoffice. From there the establishment
was moved farther up Church street and
in 1839 was removed to Chapel
street, not far from the place
whence the Register office has recently
been removed. At this place a large busi
ness was carried on, the trade list of books
published having on it .the "Philosophy
and Chemistry of the late Prof. Olmstead,"
then extensively used in colleges and
schools; the "United States Speaker,"
" Young Pupils' first and Second Book."
besides a great variety of small books for
children, known in those days as "toy"
books. Here was carried on a large jobbing
trade with the principal cities of New Eng
land, the trade list of Mr. Babcock being of
a character to enable him to command from
other publishers by way of exchange all the
valuable school books used in this part
of the country. There was also main
tamed by Mr. Babcock for forty years
a branch publishing and jobbing house at
Charleston, S. C, and for a long time a
branch at New Orleans, with another branch
for a shorter term at Cincinnati. For some
years Mr. Babcock carried on his manufac
tory of school books, in connection with
other work of a complete book bindery, in a
wooden building on Congress avenue, where
for a long time City Sheriff Hollis was em
ployed as foreman.
Mr. Babcock was a man of very nervous
temperament, constantly in action and a
great talker, and it is remarkable that those
who were best acquainted with him never
heard a word of scandal from his lips. He
was one of the most kind-hearted men living,
always trying to lighten everybody's burden
by a cheerful, encouraging word.
The funeral will take place Thursday at
4 p. m.

A PROTEST
Against
Emptying: Sewers
Into West
River.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen
and
Councilman:
We, as citizens, property owners and tax
payers of the city of New Haven, ask that
you consider well the matter of emptying the
Davenport avenue or any other sewer into
the little narrow stream that so closely cir
cles the whole wee tern part of our city. Be
fore taking any steps that you may hereafter
have cause to regret, please to give it your
most careful consideration. Remember that
people living in one locality have not the
right to cart over or conduct under the
ground and deposit at other localities any
garbage or sewerage matters that would cause
Dad oaors or ue mue w create uiaao wiiicu
the Davenport avenue sewer surely would.
People owning homes and living in the west
ern part of the city, and there are a .great
many of them, are entitled to pure air as
well as those Irvine a little farther ease.
Now, we say that if these people cannot en
dure tne smell or their own nltn, surely we
cannot. Then let the city at once commence
a trunk sewer not emptying into a little
narrow stream of sluggish water that is run
ning np six hours out of twelve and centering
about the flood-gates, but let tnem onua a
sewer that will empty into the harbor where
there will be sufficient water for carrying off
all deposits.
Citizens and Taxpayers of the western
PART OF THE CITY.
To the Citizens of New Haven:
Is it possible that we have a Board of
Health in our city that would suggest or
favor having a sewer empty into the West
river, it being nothing more than a small
sluggish stream or creek as we all know!
People living on Howard avenue and in all
that section of the city west of Howard ave
nue to the West river, are you aware of the
terrible nuisance that some or our citizens
are trying to put upon you? You have wives
and dear children. Then for their sake if
not for your own try .to do something
to check this death-angel that
will surelv appear if not immediately stopped.
There is great danger at the present time of
the almshouse sewer and other deposits in
the river causing contagious diseases. The
stench at . every low tide is already bad
enough. What would it be should
this small minority of people . carry
the day that are so fast for the
Davenport avenue sewer to emp
ty its filth into our midst,
If they are afraid of odors arising from the
Bewerage ana cesspool matters, certainly tney
know that we must be afraid to have them
conduct it in or near our yards. One man
said that sewerage deposits would pass out
with the tide. We claim that to be all wrong
and impossible, and that he has had little
anv experience with the natural drifts of the
West river tide. Talk about the diseased
matter going out at every tide. I tell you,
citizens, to the contrary. The filth from it
would stay about the mouth of the sewer for
days, some of it drifting down a little way
and then return only to mix with the out
going stream of destruction from the sewer'i
mouth. Take, for instance, from one to ten
thousand small particles of driftwood or
sorted particles of anything, dump them.
you please, where . the would-be
sewer would empty, watch them
through the hot summer months and see how
many of them would find their way out of
the river. You would nnd that a large num
ber of them would be found on either side of
the river, carried as they would be by every
perigee tide, some landed among the meadow
grass and some along the edges or the up
lands. Supposing these to be a fractional
part of the deposits from a large sewer for
one day, one could easily see the immense
quantity that must necessarily collect in
short time. Any person with any judgment
can plainly see that such deposits should and
must empty into the narbor or bound.

of Tide Waters in Harbors and Rivers.
SUMMER NOTES.
New Haven People and Their Summer
Recreating Excursions and Picnics.
The weather yesterday was not such as to
invite people to the seashore, and boarders
at shore houses who came in town yesterday
to transact a little business and return said
that they thought of going to the dry goods
stores and ordering some extra all wool
blankets. This is a remarkably cool summer
on the whole thus far and dampening to the
ardor of seashore excursionists. One camp
ing out party at the shore reported that they
had to build a fire to keep from freezing, but
they had had lots of fun and were going to
remain the time fixed upon. August is yet
to be heard from and September often brings
weather hot enough to cause a big boom at
the shore resorts.
The picnic of the German Baptists of this
city was postponed yesterday on account of
the rain. No date was fixed upon for the ex
cursion. Mr. Enos Foote, formerly proprietor of the
Tremont House, left yesterday for Saratoga
to be gone a short time.
Mr. J. Boettger, tailor, of Wooster street,
has gone to rusticate in the Catskill Moun
tains for two weeks.

The Thomson-Houston In Waterbury.
Waterbury now has electric lights, the
Thomson-Houston system, the one used in
this city, having been introdncedhere this
week. Nineteen lights have been put m
working order and there are about nifty sub
scribers who will be furnished with the
lights at once. The American speaks highly
of the quality of the light and predicts its
successful establishment in that city.

Hog Epidemic.
A strange epidemic has broken out among
the hogs owned by the farmers about South-
bury. About three weeks ago one of the
imported swine belonging to Mr. Merwin
Mitchell refused to eat, and after lying help
less for some days died. Other hogs were
attacked soon after in a similar manner. The
epidemic spread. Merwin Mitchell lost two,
George Mitchell seven, Reuben Pierce five or
six, a farmer in White Hills named Hubbell
lost 12 and a Middlebury man is said to be
oui some io. The disease has proved very
fatal, nearly every hog attacked by it dying.
It is contagious. In all cases the first symptom
is a refusal to eat. Then the animal lies quiet
fnr- Qmrn..l ,1 T "1 ! i , , -. .
- o, wmie i strengtn Keeps oi-
punishing. The skin, on the head especial
ly, becomes of a deep pink color, and the
same thing is seen to a less extent on all
parts of the body. In some cases sores ap
pear on the chops, the body turns black and
blue in places, and the feet swell up. In
one or two instances a post-mortem examina
tion has revealed a congested state of the in
testines. The sick animals are occasionally
attacked by vomiting and the substance
emitted is marked by an intensely disagreea
ble stench. Death ensues within two weeks.
A PASTOR CALLED.
The Church of the Messiah Rev. Sel-
den Gilbert.
The parish and Church of the Messiah on
Orange street voted unanimously last even
ing to invite the Rev. Selden Gilbert, of
Little Falls, N. Y., to their pastorate to com
mence September 1st next.
The meeting adjourned to Monday evening
next to hear report from Mr. Gilbert.
Mr. Gilbert has preached twice for this
church recently and most acceptably. He is
about forty-five years of age, has a wife and
one child and is highly spoken of as a pastor
and preacher. He has a number of old ac
quaintances and strong friends here, as also
in Bridgeport where he was pastor of the
church over which Mr. Lyon is now pastor.
Mr. P. T. Barnum is a member of that church
and a warm friend of Mr. Gilbert.
THE OYSTER TRADE.
The
Business at the Mouth
of tne
Housatonlc River.
The ovster business at the mouth of the
Housatonic river is increasing and the busi
ness is this season greatly increased. The
Bridgeport Post yesterday said, quoting the
words of a Stratford oyster man, as follows:
'There have been at least 150,000 bushels
gathered against 75,000 bushels last year.
The river was quite a sight three or four
weeks ago. The shells were piled in great
heaps along the banks from Washington
bridge to the mouth of the river. There
were 20,000 bushels piled up on the wharf
one time. Steamers, scows, sloops and other
sailing crafts have been busy for three or
four weeks carting them away. They are
tonged up as it is called. They lie in the
mud and sand and represent the accumula
tion of ages. The tongers first dig up the
ground with forks, then tong out the shells
They find usually a layer of sand, then i
layer of shells and like enough a layer of
mud, and so it goes to consider
ble depth. One man told me he dug down
fifty feet in minora near me notei ana rouna
shells all the way. That was in dry ground.
The most of the shells are gathered along
near the Point, though they find them along
the river bottom. Tne toncrers cratner from
fifty to one hundred bushels a day and get
about six cents a bushel for them. It is ac
cording to their customer. Some sell as low
as five cents and some get seven, Dut six is
about the price. They make pretty fair
wages. The shells are bought by the oyster
planters, who plant them on their beds to raise
oysters on. One man from Westport is
going to plant 50,000 bushels, borne of
them nave to go rartner east alter xneir sup
ply as they cannot get snelis enougn around
here. The demand is greater than the sup
ply at present. They let them lie one year
and some planters two years before they take
them up. If starfish have killed the oysters
they put tne snelis down again, ix not new
shells have to be provided as the oysters are
fastened to the shells. The oyster industry
is getting to be a great .business. A fewyears
ago there was plenty of good
eround between here and Westport, but
now it is all taken and occupied. The star
fish work in this way: They seize the oyster
in their fingers and roll up around it and
wait. After awhile the oyster has to open
its shell to take nourishment and then the
starfish has an attachment with which
holds the shell open, then with its suckers or
feelers it sucks the nourishment out of the
oyster and the oyster dies. It prefers young
ovsters to old ones, and will leave old ones to
feed on the young. It hates muddy
bottom and will stick
the sandy bottom till the oysters
are all gone and then go on the mud as a last
resort. There is something about mud that
it don't like. Either the nasty taste or smell
makes it sick. In dredging for starfish, the
dredge is gauged just so it will take up the
starfish and leave the oysters. The
starfish travel in piles, and are sometimes
piled up two feet high. They always lie
that way. I have known them to be piled
up like a winrow of hay for half a mile, and
when they travel they roll along."

played stirring national airs in front of the
headquarters. A few minutes before 8, the
hour appointed for the flag raising, a large
procession was formed which included th
best of New London's citizens and the mos
intelligent of, her workingmen. The pro
cession moved up State street amid
a blaze of torchlight, red fire, rockets and
Roman candles. When the flag was run out
from in front of the Dennis building the en
thusiasm was immense and showed that the
Republicans of New London are alive to the
cause. The cheering drowned for a moment
the music of the band and the artillery
lute fired on the parade. After the flag rais
ing the procession marched back to head
quarters and a rousing meeting was held in
the hall, and addressed by John A. Tibbits
and Colonel Tom Fitch. When the speech
making was over a committee or seven was
appointed with Dr. R. W. Browne,chairman,
to report, at a meeting to be held next Mon
day evening, a list of oflicers to be put m
nomination for the Blaine and Logan Cam
paign club. The number of names enrolled
in the club up to and including Monday
night was about 400, and before the end of
the week, from present indications, it will be
Bwelled to more than double that number.
At a meeting to be held at Republican
headquarters, American Hall, 48 Church
street, in this city on Thursday evening at
eight o'clock, for the purpose of perfecting
the organization of the Republican Central
club, there will be short addresses by sev
eral speakers, among whom will be Judge
John is. trainman, or uirmingnam.
The New Haven Campaign Glee club will
meet for its third rehearsal next Thursday
evening at 7 :30 sharp, at the vocal studio of
Prof. Chandler in Hoadley's building. The
club now numbers over sixty members, and
all are requested to be present early.
The New York Sun yesterday in an inter
view with Gov. Waller of Conn., who was
en route for Albany, says: A closely writ
ten manuscript peeped out of one of the
Little Giant's coat pockets as he
changed his position. "We haven't
had much campaign talk in Connec
ticut yet," he said in answer to a ques
tion. "The Republicans hold their conven
tion at New Haven, in a few days, and will
probably put up a candidate for governor
who will please the Independents. J presume
it will be Henry B. Harrison, Speaker of the
last House. I am out of the race this year.
I shall not accept the Democratic nomination
if it is offered to me."
The old Washington Square Democratic

A Blaine and Logan banner was hoisted at
Waterbury Monday night in the presence of
a large crowd. Senator Turner introduced
ex-Congressman S. W. Kellogg as the first
speaker. He said of Blaine: "No one will say
that James G. Blaine is not fit by training
and education for the presidency. There is
no department he does not understand. He
is square and outspoken; we know where to
find him. He will make a president for the
American people and the whole American
people, giving citizens protection at home
and abroad."
An Adinnrnment to music jaau was taken.

He oaid of Cleveland: Cleveland was a coun
ty sheriff ! what a come-down for a member
of the bar! I respect my position as a mem
ber of the bar no longer when such an act
can be held np as an argument in a man's
fvror. He was a hangman; perhaps J their
ideas of economy led them to think they
could get their hanging done for nothing
with Cleveland as president!

HAPPY TURTLES.
A New Haven man Who Knows
AH About These Crnstaceons Ani
mals A Little Wire Enclosure Fall
of Pets.
There are many members of the animal
kingdom which are favored by man with the
special distinction of having a considerable
amount of his attention and love given them.
Such animals are called pets. Such is the
rabbit, the white mouse, the cat. The Cir
cassian girl in the circus dotes upon her
snake; the fashionable girl in the conserva
tory dotes upon her savage bull pup; the wild
girl in the country dotes upon her dude." But
in the opinion of one gentleman and his
daughter who dwell In the City of Elms,
snakes, puppies, monkies and dudes are no
where. They have found a more choice pet,
and the aforesaid pets must look to their
laurels or this latest favorite will become
fashionable and the dogs and dudes be ban
ished into the realms of disuse. The animal
mentioned is none other than the turtle. Now
the turtle, as many know, is rather peculiar
in some of his habits, that of catching hold
of people's extremities and holding on with
strange fervor being one of the most marked
characteristics of his species. Moreover
the turtle, as probably many do not
know, is distinctively American, as he
was named on these shores during the period
when a certain Americas Vespuccius and one
Columbus were getting a good deal of fame,
although they were really, as recent discov
eries show, very inferior sort of men, you
knew. The word turtle was formerly ap
plied to doves, ami the word tortoise used
to designate the strange, soup-making
chelonian. So in this country we have tur
tles but not tortoises, except those which
roam about on land. Therefore, being
American the turtle has claims upon all pat
riotic lovers of pets. And it is an open
question whetfter the young ladies of our
land would not do well to transfer their
strings and their allegiance from their dogs
to turtles.
But Mr. F. A. Newton, the manufacturer,
and his daughter, residing at No. 16 Vernon
street, this city, rightly appreciate the claims
of the turtle upon our tender heart strings.
They have been for several years cultivating
several kinds of turtles with excellent suc
cess. They now have twenty-six of them, all
jolly turtles, well behaved, fond of being
taken notice of and fed and devoted to their
enclosure, although betraying remarkable sa-
gacfty in finding apertures through which
to crawl out and roam at large into the gar
den. There are turtles among the number
who live exclusively upon the land and do
not take at all kindly to water, and there are
others which are largely in the majority that
are as fond of water as a duck. To provide
for the aqueous proclivities of the latter plen
ty of water is furnished in a tank sunk into
the ground,the top of which is on a level with
the ground, so that the turtles can crawl in or
out as their own sweet will dictates. Stir up
the water with an umbrella end or stick and
up come the water-loving turtles one after
another to see what's np. The chief end and
aim of the turtles, both land and water tur
tles, seems to be to eat, loaf around and
sleep. Poke over the grass and hay under
the little low-roofed retiring pen and you
find a dozen or so turtles which look sleepily at
the visitor and then crawl out to see if it is
not grub time. The young lady of the house
feed3 them often, and when she brings out
the feed the turtles tall into line
and march one after the other up
ot the feeding places and assail
the food with voracity. It is cracker crumbs
and milk that they like well for a steady
diet, but they are particularly fond of straw
berries and store away enormous quantities
of them in strawberry time. They look hap
py and bright, whether greeted by Republi
cans or Democrats, if there is a "feed" forth
coming, and are as sociable among them
selves as turtles can be. They have each a
name. Lillie, Violet, Spunky, and Arline
are some of the pets' names. Jumbo and
Thaddeus were others of the family which
are no more, having died recently. Spunky
is a large land turtle with speckled and
rounded back, and goes with head
np as if proud and irate. Then there are lit
tle turtles which were born and bred in the
pen and know no other home but the en
closure. Some of the turtles have lived six
vears in the pen.or since the pen was started.
and the majority of the turtles were born and
raised in the pen. The eggs are about the
size of a bluebird's, but have no shell, and
look and feel like leather. The turtles have
no trouble with the eggs after laying
them, but - leave them alone and the
young hatch out without parental help
and fall to work eating as soon as pos
sible. When winter comes the turtles
are buried down deep in the ground under
the frost where they remain until spring is
advanced, when thev are dug up and restored
to the pen. After winking and blinking
awhile, after being unearthed, they turn their
heads around and as soon as they get used to
their leers start off for the feeding dishes.
When buried they are given a lied and covering;
of leaves and a little space m wnicn to move.
and by means of boards they are kept free
from the mass of earth above them.
Hat Factory for New Mllford.
Ex-Sheriff George W. Hathaway and a gen
tleman from Bethel propose to erect a hat
factory on the lower end of West street, New
Milford. It is not yet decided whether the
Noble Brothers' button factory, which was
burned a short time since, will be rebuilt.
Oystermen's Association.
The oystermen of Milford, Stratford, New
Haven, Norwalk, Bridgeport and other places
are interested in the plan now on foot to or
ganize what will be called the State Oynter
men's Protective association. The object of
the new organization is to protect the inter
ests of oystermen and punish all violations
of the oyster laws. A meeting for this pur
pose will be held in about a week.

telephone office, New Haven, left Monday for
