TRAIN TRAFFIC HEAVY.
Flyer's Fast Kim Various Railroad
Notes.
For several days the west bound pas
senger trafllc of the Consolidated road
has been very heavy. The people have
been returning from their vacation
tours at the seaside and country, and
the baggage handlers have been kept
"busy. The heaviest travel has been
over the Shore Line route and the New
York division. Trains of ten, eleven
and twelve cars have not been unusual.
The New London Day says: On one
trip of the Shore Line express recently
to New Haven It was necessary to di
vide the train, running sixteen cars in
two sections, the trains arriving thir
teen minutes apart. 'When a train has
over twelve cars it is divided and run In
two sections.
The trainmen on the five-hour New
York and Boston flyer are still talking
about the very fast run they made
from New London a few days since.
The train was late at New London and
thirteen minutes was made up on the
run to New Haven. The fifty-one miles
were made in fifty-two minutes and the
engineer was obliged to slow down four
times. No. 227 hauled the train. The
engine is a "medium sized machine,
weighing when coaled and ready for a
trip about sixty-five tons. There are
several of this type of engines that can
run equally fast.
The new passenger engines recently
built for the Consolidated road at
Schenectady, N. Y., are proving very
satisfactory. They are spoken of by
railroad men as "the smartest engines
on the road," and it is doubtful if there
are any finer in the country. One of
these engines hauled an eleven car
train from New London to New Haven,
and making a stop at Saybrook, made
up five minutes on the run. That is a
pretty good record for so heavy a train.
The standard for the through freights
between New York and Boston is a fifty
car train, besides a caboose, or "bug
gy," as many of the railroad men call
the last car. The big engines, or
"Hogs," as some call them, haul such
trains with ease. The contrast of these
trains with the little freights of twenty'
five or thirty cars of twenty-five years
ago is marked indeed. Trains bound
west, made up largely of empty cars,
go tnrougn now with sixty and even
sixty-five cars.
There has been quite a slackening up
of the freight business for several days,
and there is talk of laying off one of the
crews on the through run this week if
larger business does not offer. "When
, the grain business starts freights will
be helped, but that traffic will not be
active under six or eight weeks, and it
cannot be yet determined how heavy
this business will be. If there should be
a 'good export trade from Boston, the
Consolidated road will carry a large
share "of this out-going grain, and busi
ness will, be considerably helped. This
freighting will depend for its volume
upon the general business In the east
and the amount of grain that is moved.
THE AMBERGRIS MYSTERY.
'Curious Facts concerning a Little-
Known Substance Capture of an
Ambergris . "Whale His Product
Brought Sixty Thousand Dollars
Supposed to be the. Result of Appen
dicitis in the Whale.
Three .spermaceti whale were , com
panlonably floating about in southern
waters one sunshiny day not so very
many years ago. Two were fine speci
mens of the genus physeter, the third,
however, though of the same species,
was lank and scrawny, and lolled list
lessly on the dark blue surface of the
Gulf stream, while its more rotund and
sportive coirades slashed about vigor
ously, and sent the limpid waters far
above them to fall In refreshing sprays.
It was a mystery why any whale at
that season should have presented an
ill-fed condition, as the feeding
grounds had been unusually well pop
ulated by the tentaculated and foul
mouthed cuttle fish,. Sepia octopodia,
and no whale had need to go a single
day with an empty stomach. Perhaps
if the two well-conditioned animals
had been less frolicsome, and the third
more aroused, they would have been on
the alert for defense. As it was, a
long, narrow ioat, pointed at both
ends, bore down" unobserved upon
them, and the whalemen sent with un
erring aim their weapons straight into
the two bulky creatures. The scrawny
whale escaped; though it made no mo
tion to get away; but because it .was
evident there would be but little, If
any, ol! or spermaceti in the animal,
and because the capture of the two
splendid specimens had been more
than was expected, it ivas left unmo
lested, still rocking lazily in the sea.
Next day, to the amazement of the
whalemen,, the animal was seen In al
most exactly the same spot, as though
Inviting death. "Well," called out the
captain of the whaling fleet, who had
been one of the party the day before,
"if you wish to die, you poor, crazy
lubber, you shall," and forthwith it,
too, was disposed of, the easiest task,
the men agreed, that they had had in
many a day. But little more than two
barrels of oil were found In the emaci
ated whale. Another and vastly more
important discovery was the largest
single lot of ambergris ever sold in this
country. It was exchanged for a check
signed by a well-known drug firm of
this city, whose figures rounded close
on to sixty thousand dollars! Never
had so large a check been seen till then
In the little Cape Cod fishing town,
where it was divided among the whale
men of the fleet, as each man on a
whaler receives a certain per centage
of the proceeds of a voyage. The num
ber of pounds found in this whale ag
gregated over one hundred and fifty,
valued at thirty dollars per ounce, the
price paid for the best ambergris.
A Disease of the Sperm Whale.
It would seem that the animal had
sickened of a malady caused by the
unnatural growth, and such was un
doubtedly the cage, and if its sufferings
had not be.en brought to an end by the
whalemen it would have lingered till
the disease Itself had finally caused
death.
Such profound mystery has sur
rounded this strange subject, and so
many fallacies have been wltten in re
gard to it that some of the later ency
clopedias have perhaps wisely left it
untouched, or, if treating it all, have
ventured on but the barest generalities,
for trustworthy facts relating to this
most interesting and singularly valua
ble product axe few and far between.
Wo need touch but lightly on the his- i
tory of ambergris, though the delusions i
that were primitively Indulged in are j
extremely fascinating. In the "Ara- '
blan Nights" we ure. told of eastern
beauties whose cheeks were marked
with moles like bits of ambergris; and
in the story of the sixth voyage of
'Sinbad the Sailor" we reud ia the de
scription of tho place where the vdy-
agi'rs were wrecked: "Here is also a
fountain of pitch and bitumen that
runs into the sea, which the fishes
swallow, and then vomit up again
turned Into ambererls!" That antique
author) Robert Boyle, considered it to
be of vegetable production and similar
to yellow amber; thus it received its
name, amber-gris (gray), gray amber.
This and other even more plausible
theories aro but indeed fallacies that
puzzled savants have set forth when '
they were at a loss to account for Its
origin. It is now ascertained beyond
a doubt to be generated by the large-
headed sperm whale, and Is the result
of the diseased state of the animal.
The victim of this rare malady, may
possibly, in extreme rare cases (but
of this we are not convinced by actual
knowledge), throw off the morbific
substance; or Anally die of the ailment.
The disease is located in the intestinal
canal, and some savants suppose it to
bo caused by a biliary Irritation. After
a deep study on the subject several
modern scientists have agreed that tne
disorder is akin to the new fashionable
human peril, appendicitis, intensified
and prolonged in this great .mammal,
that dread ailment that has but lately
been understood by the surgeons and
medical men of the world. I
1 Whale Appendicitis. J
It is known that the ambergris whale
feeds upon the cuttle fish. This crea
ture is " armed upon its head with a
sharp-pointed curved black horn re
sembling a bird's beak, much like that
of a parrot, only the lower mandible Is
the largest. This is found as It is too
indestructible to be digested-rin many
specimens of ambergris'and may often-'
times aid in establishing a seated dis
ease. It may be considered, though, to
be but the primary cause of irritation,
as much of the finest ambergris is en
tirely free from the tough little horn.
Such is the effect in the whale of the
magnified and tremendously magni
fiedillness which, when established in
our own comparatively puny organ
Ism, causes an Instant and fatal col
lapse, unless quickly and heroically
atacked by the almost miraculous
modern skill of the surgeon's gifted
hand. The habits of the great water
mammals, however, tend to prolong
life, and their resisting power against
the insidious destroyer is eloquent of
their tenacious hold -on existence.
When we realize the enormous physical
strength of the whale we wonder less
at its combative force. . These great
sea. creatures are not fish, strictly
spedng, but the largest of living ani
mals, warm-blooded, air-breathing,
bringing forth their young (usually
single) alive and suckling them for a
definite period. ' ,s
When the whale Is finally captured
and please bear in mind that we are
speaking of the sperm and ambergris
whale alone it is taken in tow along
the ship's side. The cutting process is
then begun. The tough outer skin and
true skin of which recent observations
prove the blubber is a part are . then
cut up and boiled; extreme precaution
being taken that the woodwork of the
vessel does not ignite in the progress.
The hot oil is then lowered In casks to
swing and "swash in the trail of the
ship until it cools; then it Is lowered to
the vessel's depths. From 1,200 to 2,000
barrels is considered a bon voyage.

Valuable as a Diamond Find.
To the conservative whale-fisher of
New Bedford or Proviricetown the dis
covery of ambergris is ns unexpected
and as longed for as the sheeny splen
dor of the pearl that gladdens the pearl
fisher, of tho sparkle of the diamond
that sends Its radiance straight to the
heart of the coal miner. There Is that
delightful uncertainty, that same
shake-and-throw doubt, that allures
the speculator to take his chance,
though that of tho whalemen is much
mors legitimate business, for with the
zeal that characterizes these mer
chants of the ocean there is coupled
the absolute certainty of reduplication
according to their efforts.
Almost , awestruck are the sailors
when the cry of "Ambergris!" is ut
tered. This is the happy event of a
life-time. The substance is carefully
taken from the bowels of the whale
and is packed is casks, if It is in liquid
form, or in sacks if it is dry enough.
It is then brought, in its nauseating
odoriferous condition, direct to Boston,
where it Is appraised by the head of
the largest drug firm in the city: This
young man has no enviable task before
him In ascertaining the value of the ar
ticle. He has to examine the fetid
mass,' which ;is sometimes in a rank li
quid state, sometimes of the consisten
cy of soft putty, and again a chalk-like
substance. That which is more like
putty usually is to be best relied on for
making the best market ambergris,
and gradually as it dries the only cur
ing process it undergoes the unwhole
some dark shade turns to a soft squir
rel gray. The substance lightens In
weight, and the subtle, fascinating
odor develops, an odor almost inde
scribable, like the blending of new
mown hay, the damp woody fragrance
of a fern copse, and the faintest possi
ble perfume of the violet.
And to what use Is ambergris put?
' It is an indispensable article with fine
perfumes, as it is used to give perma
nency and lasting, qualities to very
fleeting scents. It is' a curious fact
that the key-note or basis of "nose
gays," or "bouquets," as handkerchief
odors are Called, is not, as one might
suppose,, the attar of garden flowers
nor the impenetrating balsams these
are indispensable, but are not the
groundwork. That, basis is always one
of the four animal odors, that Is, am
bergris, musk, obtained from small
musk deer of Asia, civet, from the ci
vet cat of India, and castor; a secre
tion of the castor beaver, and now al
most obsolete' in the ! perfume trade.
The pure and separate tincture of any
one of these odors is too intense and
nowerful to be tolerated. Like all sub
stances of these kinds, they must un
dergo a slow decomposition till the re
mainder possesses very little volatility
Even then they contain a virtue which
clings pertinaciously to woven fabrics
and not being soluble in weak, alkaline
lyes is still to be detected in the mate
rial after passing through the several
lavatory ordeals. They are, therefore,
of great value to the perfumer, and are
the essential foundation in almost eve
ry formula. , ,
The essence of ambergris is obtained
by mixing three ounces of it with one
gallon of pure alcohol, and not till af
ter a month is it ready for use. This,
however, is not only kept for mixing,
and is far too strong. Only when it
has entered in minute proportion into
the bouquets does it produce those
agreeable and characteristic perfumes
the effect of which upon the nerves of
the sensitive nose is much like the hap
py sensation produced by harmoni
ous musical chords on the delicate ear,
or the perfect blending of colors to the
educated eye-. Boston Transcript.

THE LATE DR. ALLEN OF MIL-
. FORD.
Hull Allen, M. D., 'who died suddenly
at his home on High street, Milford, re
cently, was born in Westport, on May
lGth, ; 1T98. He was . educated in the
schools in his native town, and then
went to Elizabeth, Nf J., where he took
up - the study of what became his life
work, medicine. Hes attended lectures
in New York city. He received his li
cense to practice iri;1820, commencing
in Sparta, N. Y., butomlng to Milford
during the same year. He soon built
up an extensive, arid lucrative practice.
After fifty years of work in his chosen
profession, Dr. Allen In 1871 attempted
to retire from active practice. Families
whom he had attended in life and in
death were very loath to give the "fam
ily physician" up, and until a short
time before his death he continued to
prescribe for some of his oldest patients
and friends. Dr. Allen was the oldest
physician, not only in Connecticut, but
In the New England states. He was a
member. of the county and state medi
cal societies. His clear Judgment and
skill were much valued by his medical
brethren, who frequently availed them
selves of his advice in consultations.
Dr. Allen was also a member of the
American Bible society, the Tract soci
ety and the Advocate and Guardian so
ciety. He joined tho First Congrega
tional church in Milford in 1828 and un
til his death was a devoted member of
the church of his choice. Attention to
business and in late years feeble health,
prevented the doctor from doing much
active church work, but he always gave
very liberally to all her interests, and
was always ready to assist in advan
cing any good work. The doctor was
of a very modest and retiring disposi
tion, thoroughly devoted to his profes
sion, to his home and to Milford. He
lived In Milford and worked for the
good and happiness of the people.
Dr. Allen was married three times.
His first wife was Miss Susan Piatt.
One daughter of this marriage. Miss
Sarah Allen, survives him. The second
wife was Miss Elizabeth Clark and the
third was Miss Susan Phillips of Fish-kill-on-the-Hudson,
who died a few
months ago. There are two grand
children, Lillie, the wife of Syoions
Hutchinson of Trenton, N. J., and Ed
ward E. Street, the assistant city clerk
of New Haven. Dr. Allen adopted his
grand-daughter when she -was an in
fant,' her mother dying shortly after
her birth, and until her marriage, three
years ago, she was as a daughter to
him in her love and devotion. The doc
tor was much attached to his two
daughters, as he called them.

Stock Market Irregular and Bather
Feverish.
New York, Sept. 10. Speculation at
the stock exchange to-day was irregu
lar and rather feverish. This is only
natural In view of yesterday's heavy
realizations and the efforts of the pro
fessional operators to bring about a re
action which they claim Is long over
due. An advance in the Bank of England
rate of discount to 2V4 per cent., the
first change since February 22, 1S94; a
rise in the price of eagles in the London
market and stiffer discounts outside of
the bank, coupled witb lower prices for
American securities abroad, all assist
ed the reactionary movement. The ac
tion of the bank. It Is argued, would
check gold shipments, but the reverse
proved true, and, the purchases of
eagles and bars at the Bank of Eng
land for American account to-day
footed up 396,000 pounds..
At home the bank troubles at New
Orleans and tho report ot the agricul
tural department for September on cot
ton were the unfovaroble developments.
The favorable news o tho day
other than the engagements of gold
were the report of the St. Paul road
for the iirst week of the current month
and the declaration of the usual divi
dends by the directors of the road. As
stated, operators were bearlshly inclin
ed and prices gradually yielded under
moderate pressure.
At Intervals the downward tendency
was checked, but in the final trading
tho market was weak In tone. The
loss in prices ranged from U to 2V4 per
cent., Tobacco, Sugar, Eock Island, Pa
ciiic Mail, Manhattan, Louisville and
Nashville, Tennessee Coal and Reading
being prominent in the reaction.
Londo'n houses were credited with
sales of 10,000 to 15,000 shares, princi
pally St. Paul and Louisville and Nash
ville. The last named was sold on the
damage to cottou crops and the rate
demoralization in the south,' Specula
tion left off weak iu town.

per cent. In the specialties Consoli
dated'Gas fell 2 to 115," and later rose to
148. Illinois Stool declined 2, to 37,

The bond market was dull and weak.
