on Saturday and for two hoars he had small

mond. Mr. Durant was holding the dia
mond in bis store when it fell to the floor and
rolled down the heating register. The pipes
were then taken out and cleaned, bnt no
diamond was found. Under a hole in the
pipe as it descended to the basement was a
lot of coal, and this was all sifted. Then a
quantity of wood also near by was handled
over and thrown to another place. Mr. Da
rant, after two hoars' hard work, was about
giving op in despair when Nellie called out,
"Papa, here it is;" and snre enough it was.
On the ground under where the wood had
been thrown was the diamond, throwing forth
its pnre lustre. The jewel was valued at
$350.

New Haven.
Hon. George H. Watrous on Saturday re
signed the presidency of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad and ex-Vice
President Charles P. Clark of the road waa
chosen his successor. Both resignation and
appointment took effect immediately. Ru
mors that 'President Watrous intended to
withdraw from his office have been current
at various times for a year. HI health, re
sulting from the care and weighty responsi
bilities of his position, was generally the rea
son that the wiseacres gave but there were some
people who intimated that there were dissen
sions in the management, a rumor, however,
wholly incorrect. But rumor followed ru
mor and meeting after meeting was held by
the directors and still Mr. Watrous retained
the presidency. While in Washington
month ago Mr. Watrous wrote to several of
the directors, stating his intention to resign
in a short time. He also suggested that his
successor be Charles P. Clark, a member
of the board and ex-president of the New
York and New England road. Action on
these important questions constituted the
business of Saturday's meeting at the com'
pany's headquarters at the Grand Central
station.
"These propositions were duly taken under
consideration by the board,' ' said Nathaniel
Wheeler of Bridgeport, one of the directors
just after the meeting, "bat the board was in
hopes that Mr. Watrous' health would be so
improved by a rest that he could be induced
to letain the presidency. When we met,
however, he announced that he was fully
resolved, in duty to himself and his family.
to resign an office whose cares had broken
him in health and were more of a burden
than he was willing to bear any longer.
After thoroughly considering the matter we
accepted his resignation, and as he had
strongly nrged upon ns we elected Mr. Clark
to the presidency. The election was unani
mous. The new president will enter upon
his duties immediately. In fact he is presi
dent now. We woald have been glad to re
tain Mr. Watrous at the head of the compa
ny, bat when we found that his purpose
was not to oe stuueen we coma do no more
than to accept his resignation, pass resolu
tions expressing our sorrow at his with
drawal and elect the successor he had himself
chosen. The change in the presidency will
involve no change in the policy of the road,
nor do we expect any other change -in the
officers'
President Watrous when seen last evening
said in response to enquiries that he could
add but little more to what had been given
to the public on the subject. It was true
that he had resigned simply and solely of his
own choice and volition for the improve
ment of his health, which had become im
paired by the constant Btrain, wear and tear
meident to a conscientious discharge of the
manifold and oft times perplexing duties of
the management of the road. His future
intentions he waived for the present. He
had hardly yet got out of the harness and
had not made his. plans as to resting. He
light take a trip to Europe the coming
summer, or he might take one across the
continent to the Pacific slope. He had
once before visited Europe. That waa
in 1874, a little before he
took the presidency of the Consolidated
road. He had also at another time been out
of the United States. That was last year,
when he took a trip to Cuba. He would,
however, take a rest before resuming the
practice of law. He had not been officially
notified that the railroad company would
like to continue him in service as the legal
adviser or general counsel of the corporation,
but had heard rumors to that effect. For
the present, however, he had no desiie to re
sume business. He was imperatively
obliged, as a duty he owed to himself, to
sever himself from the cares and responsi
bilities which he had laid down. He parted
with the management under the most pleas
ant releations. Of Mr. Clark he said: "He
is a very bright man, fully competent for the
discharge of the duties he has assumed.and I
shall be very much disappointed in my esti
mate of the man if he does not discharge the
duties of his position ably and to the satis
faction of the road and the public"
A director of the Consolidated road when
seen last evening said: "Yes, we parted with
Mr. Watrous with regret. We could not
shake his determination to resign. His ad
ministration has been eminently successful.
We parted with him under the very best of
feeling. The whole directorship of the road
is very united and its meetings are harmoni
ous without exception and free from disa
greement. Mr. Watrous resigned simply
and solely for the benefit of his health which
absolutely required him to take a rest and
cessation from the responsibilities of the
office, such as he could not have obtained
even with a prolonged vacation, which he
would not accept."
Said Mr. Clark Saturday after the meeting:
"At Mr. Watrous' request I withdrew my
name from consideration as a possible mem
ber of the board of inter-State railroad com
missioners, in my new position I shall try
to do my duty. Any change of policy? We
shall continue to try to carry people and
freight as safely and cheaply as we can.
That will be our polioy."
Mr. Clark is a very competent railroad man
and well qualified to assume the duties he has
taken. Before he came to the Consolidated he
was receiver and general manager of the New
England road. He became second vice pres
ident of the Consolidated road under Presi
dent Watrous in September, 1881, when
Gen. Wilson was president of the New Eng
land, and retained the office until December,
looa, when he again became receiver of the
New England. Before he resigned as a vice
president of the Consolidated he became one
of its directors, taking the plaoe of C. W.
Chapin of Springfc'eld, and has continued a
member of the board of directors of the road
ever since. He resigned the second vice
presidency of the Consolidated to become re
ceiver of the New England. His admirable
management of the road is well known. He
brought order out of chaos and greatly im
proved the property, then turning it over to
the stockholders, and became the road's
president. . Shortly after he took a trip to
Europe to recuperate. He retained
the presidency until the ownership
of the road changed to the
Bostwick party. When the road changed
hands he was asked to remain with it, but
coupled under such conditions that he de
clined. He has been taking a Test for the
past three months. Mr. Clark was brought up
a merchant, but many years has been promi
nent in railway affairs. He is a very cheer
ful,cheery man, who readily wins and retains
many friends and will be, in the language of
one of our citizens, a welcome acquisition to
New Haven. He is not a stranger in New
Haven, having been formerly prominently
identified with the Consolidated road, and is
a brother of Rev. Edward L. dark, who for
a number of years was pastor of the North
church (now the United churoh) and
is well and pleasantly remembered by
hundreds of onr eitizens, as he drew
very lage congregations, and was one of the
most popular and eloquent of our oity pas
tors. President Clark's home is in Newton,
Mass. He is a man of 50, and very much
resembles in personal appearance his brother,
the minister, lie has a wife and children.
and though but 50, has grandchildren. He
will make his headquarters at the office of
the Consolidated road in this city. His fam
ily will probably continue to reside in New
ton for the present. A daughter of President
Clark is a pupil in a seminary for young
ladies in Hartford.
choice of the directors would naturally fall
on ex-President Bishop, but he was altogeth
er unwilling to assume again the
heavy duties of the place. Being aware of
Mr. Bishop's view the directors were unani
mously of the opinion that the sterling in
tegrity and great abilities of Charles P.
Clark and his familiarity with the company's
railroad system made him decidedly the best
man for the plaoe. He was chosen with ab
solute unanimity."
"Is it true that he- withdrew from the
field in the inter-State commissionership
race to take the new place!" "Suoh is the
fact. He had been advised that this posi
tion would be tendered him and he preferred
it. He never had any speoial personal de
Bire for an appointment on the inter-State
commission, but he yielded to the reauesti
of influential friends who believed that if he
became a member he would elevate the
standing of the commission in the public es-
mation."
"Has Mr. Clark's election any connection
with the reported negotiations for further
railroad combinations in southern New Ens
land?" "None whatever. The New York
and New England road and, in fact, no oth
er road excepting the company whose presi
dency he assumes, had any influence upon
his selection. It is made solely in the inter
est of our road."

HIGHLY ENJOYABLE.
A Hartford Director on the Subject.
Habtfobd, March 13. A director of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford road
gives the following account of yesterday's
meeting of the directors: "There was but
a single vacancy around the direc
tors' table, and Chauncey M. Depew
and the other New York direc
tors were all present. President George H.
Watrous presented his letter of resignation,
pleading his long continued ill health in ex
planation. After some words of regret a
complimentary vote was passed and the va
cancy was at once hlled by the election of
Charles P. Clark, who was present as one of
the directors, he having held that position
since his first connection with the road sev
eral years ago. It will be remembered that
he came to the New York road at that time
to take the second vice presidency which
was specially created for him at a $10,000
salary. His office was at New York and its
location enabled him to speedily familiarize
himself with the operation of the road on the
section where the business is greatest. When
he resigned to take the receivership of the
New York and New England he continued in
the directory of the New York and New Ha
ven road and his continuance -as director
ever since admirably fits him for the presi
dency of the great corporation. He enters
upon his duties at once at a very liberal sal
ary. '-- ' ' "
"This change in the presidency is purely a
personal matter. Mr. Watrous was physio
ally unfit to remain longer at the head of a
great road which required very careful at
tention and a degree of intense thought
which he cannot bear in his present condi
tion. Therefore his friends were unanimous
in urging him to abandon all active work.
He communicated his prospective resigna
tion to a number of the directors and the mat
ter has since been quietly canvassed. The

Fraternity No. S, P. P. F.
New Haven Fraternity No. 5, P. P. F.
held their adjourned regular meeting Satur
day evening at their rooms in the Courier
building. The regular business was rapidly
disposed of and the Fraternity listened for
about three-quarters of an hour to some very
interesting remarks by Mr. Mansfield, who
recently returned from Kansas City whither
he had been sent ai a delegate from New
Haven Fraternity to the annual convention
of the National Printers' Protective Fra
ternity. The speaker said he was highly de
lighted with his trip west and regarded the
National Fraternity as sound, well managed
and rapidiy increasing in its influence, while
applications for charters were coming in
from all sections of the country for subordi
nate fraternities.
After Mr. Mansfield concluded his remarks
he was escorted to David Cowell's restaurant
and tendered a banquet by his brothers of
New Haven Fraternity No. 5. After re
galing themselves sumptuously all returned
to their hall and spent the remainder of the
evening in various pleasant ways, all agree
ing that they had enjoyed one of the most
pleasant evenings of the season, and voted
that Fraternity was the proper term to apply
to the name of this new and rapidly growing
organization.

en by Bev. L. S. Gates of Sholapur. India,

Good Samaritans' Temperance meet
ing. Long before the time for the beginning of
the exercises at the meeting of the Good Sa
maritan Temperance society last evening in
Samaritans' hall, 817 Chapel street, every
seat was taken and many persons unable to
obtain seats stood np and remained through
out the meeting. The hymns "Precious
Promise" and "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
were sung by the audience, Mr. Fitzgerald
presiding at the organ. Mr. Thomson of the
Juvenile Temple invoked the divine blessing
upon the assemblage. William H. Conklin
spoke of the terrible work of alcohol and
earnestly called upon all present to identify
themselves with the temperance army and
thus help on the great reform. The speaker of
the evening was W. C. DeF. Dickinson. The
address of that gentleman was an able and
practical one and the large audience mani
fested their interest and pleasure by applaud
ing the Bpeaker. Miss Minnie Moulton of
the Theater Comique gave a vocal selection
which was admirably rendered. In response
to an encore she sang again. Miss Moulton
is possessed of a sweet voice and her singing
greatly pleased all present. Miss Mamie
Wrinn, the well known and accomplished
vocalist, was next introduced and sang with
Miss Moulton. Miss Wrinn is a great favor
ite at the Samaritan meetings and invariably
pleases all present by her vocal ability.
Three signatures were obtained to the total
abstinence pledge." Next Sunday evening
Judge Bufus S. Pickett will address the Sa
maritans and Mr. James Coffay will sing.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
A few days since a gentleman
called at our store and requested a
pair of shoes like those he wa s wearing,
and which was purchased of us some
months ago. He was promptly fitted
to the desired style, and as those about
to be discarded had been perfectly sat
isfactory, the sale was at once con
summated. The most cheerful part
of the transaction to our customer
was when the salesman handed him a five dollar
bill as change from a ten dollar note, tendered in
payment for the shoes. As the old pair had cost
him eight dollars, he was somewhat surprised at
our clerk's liberality, but was informed that the
shoes selected were taken from our special sale
counter, which during this month contains all
remnants of lots and broken sizes at from one-
halt to two-thirds their real value.
We shall continue to offer for some daysour fin
est and medium grade of work for 3.50,i 4.50,
S and 35.5. Our former brice was from 4 SO to
S9.00 a pair.

Rheumatism
It is an established fact that Hood's Sar
saparilla bas proTen an Invaluable remedy
In many severe eases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable ernes by its powerful action
in correcting tbe acidity of the blood, which
is tbe cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching tbe vital fluid.'
It is certainty fair to annate that what
Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for yon. Therefore, if yon suffer
tbe pains and aches of rheanuUism, give
this potent remedy a fair trial. ,
A Positive Core.
"I was troubled very uracil with rheuma
tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
could hardly walk, and was eonfiaod to my
bed a good deal of the time. Being rec
ommended to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, I
took four bottles and am perfectly wen.
I cheerfully recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla
as one of the best blood purifiers in the
world." W. F. Wood, Bloomingtoc, m.
. For Twenty Years
1 have been afflicted with rheumatism. Before
1883 1 found no relief, but grew worse. I then
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it did
me more good than all the other medicine I
ever had." H. T. Balcom, Shirley, Mass.
' "I suffered from what the doctors caned
muscular rheumatism. I took Hood's Sar
saparilla and am entirely eared." J. V. A.
