night he was put into a wagon under
the shed to sleep, being too drunk to go
home. 1 hat is the story that is told.
If this be true, what became of the
drunken man after that time can only
be conjectured. The popular theory is
that he started home during the night
and fell down the embankment
into the Pequabuck river.
That night the river was greatly
swollen by the heavy rain of the day,and
could easily have carried the body away.

Clifford's body will probably be found in

Until the ice breaks up no search can be

could not have gone out of town, and he
would have thought of going nowhere

A Xew Haven Man Murdered.
John Martin, r air Ilaven, was mur
dered on board the oyster schooner Annie
Carl, Tuesday night, off Atlantic City,
N. J. Martin was the mate and he
shipped from New Haven on board the
schooner a week ago. Ills murderer was
Andrew Grimes, who came from Nor
wich and was taken as bne of the hands.
Captain Gilbert F. Newton went ashore,
leaving Martin in command. The latter
awakened Grimes, who was drunk, and
they had a few hot words'. Martin went
on deck and Grimes stealthily followed
him, stabbing him in the back with a
four inch knife-blade. He also stabbed
him in the neck and breast, penetrating
the lung. Grimes then threw Martin,
who had fallen to the deck, into the
water. The body was -recovered. The
murderer is under arrest.

of a plot to give interest and at the same

some of the finest scenery ever shown in
Des Moines. The company carries a
complete setting for every scene and
were excellent from first to last,
but the grand transformation
scene at the close was big for the
best. It was a wonder in the art of stage
setting and drew from the audience a
burst of applause at every change, end
ing with a rousing encore, the entire
house waiting to see it repeated. While
the play is original in its conception it is
at the same time entirely free from any
taint of vulgarity and contains no ob
jectionable feature that may not lie
found in any of .the comic operas. The
east is unusually strong. The cast is un
usually strong. The chorus parts and
drill were well presented. In short the
entire performance was an agreeable re

spectacular performance and deserves

Middlebury, Conn. Dec 26.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
Sir : I noticed in the American's issue
of t he 22nd opinions of several citizens of
this town in regard to the capacity of
Hop brook as a water supply for your
city. I would in this connection desire
to brine: asrain before your readers the
superior advantages to be derived from

water without any storage capacity that
could be drawn from Hop
brook and Quassapaug combined
and of much purer quality
excepting the quantity flowing directly
from tlie lake which would be email,
therr being little elevated land about the
lake, consequently little water-shed, and
but few hvincr sprint's. Ihe lake was
surveyed bv parties from New Haven a
few years ac;o with a view of sometime
utilizing the supply for that city, but
the survey trave so small an area of
water-shed that the project was abandon'
ed. In summer Hop brook is very low
(and often entirely dry) far below the
site or the proposed dams,

with water
far from being of the first quality. Now
I have spent four years within fifty yards
t Hancock orook nt v neaton s
station, using water from the brook
every dav during the summers
in the manufacture of brick, and never
knew a time in the dryest season when
there was not a good strong stream of
water runnine: in the brook, nmm' times
the amount that Hop brook was furnish
ing at the same time; and water ot the
purest and best quality. Its borders em
brace not less than ten square nines or
water-shed consisting of land not sus
ceptible of cultivation, being made up of
high hills and deep ravines covered with
forest and dense growths of laurel and
abounding in living springs. A region
sparsely settled and no perceptible con
tamination of water possible. There
might also be constructed if necessary a
reservoir that might hold back a vast
supply. The water might be
carried on the east side of the
brook. where there would be
but little blasting to be done to lay the
pipe. 1 do think this subject wormy oi
farther investigation. I also noticed in
the American article the statement plac
ing the distance from Waterburv to
Hoadley's at sevm miles. That is evident
ly a mistake. The distance can hardly be
over Jfour and a half Juiiles. This is
also an item to be considered.
R. B. Wheaton.
P. S. Now, Mr Editor, I have no "axe
to grind, but I have an interest in com
mon with you all. " I am paying about
S150 a year for city water.and I certainly
want the cheapest and best that can be
procured. Please use the above as you
think best.
We have known Hancock brook for a
number of years and agree with our
correspondent that it will turnish a
supply of water manytimes greater
than Hop brook and of. purer quality
But whether even this brook will fur
nish a supply large enough for the needs
of the city is a question of doubt, which
will be left for the incoming court of
common council to decide. Ed.

The New Haven Grays held their post
poned meeting yesterday evening and,
as was expected. Captain-elect Munson
declined the election received last week
Lieutenant Gill and Sergeant McDonald
also declined to accept the promotions
which were tendered them. I his leaves
tne company in tne same condition in
which they have been since Captain
Arnold's death. At the meeting yester

the company is now m a fair way to
continue the, successful career on which
Captain Arnold had started it. Additional
influence has been brought to bear upon
ex-Sergeant Benjamin E. Brown and he
has consented to accept the captaincy,
which will be unanimously tendered him
at a meeting to be called for that pur

Ulsters have grown in favor during the last two years to such
an extent tnat to-day tne Ulster is an indispensable erarment.
especially for men that have more or less driving to do, They
also make a natty walking coat when cut with smaller collar and
open on centre (back) seam nearly to the waist, making them easy
to walk in.
We ve a large variety to select from, made from Chinchillas
Elysians, Shetlands, Beavers
$6 to $30,
and Friezes, in prices ranging from
Irisli Frieze Ulsters.
The fabrics from which these Ulsters are produced is an Irish
Frieze and was manufactured in County Donegal, Ireland, near
Lough Foye. The climate of Ireland is especially inducive to the
long-staple wool, and the strength, durability and wear resisting
qualities of the x riezes made there are unequaled by any other
production. They are thoroughly waterproof. For all the require
ments of a warm, comfortable and water-shedding garments either
for driving, traveling or any other winter purpose, these Ulsters
are the best that has ever been produced.
The extremely nobby CAPE OVERCOAT for Young Men's wear
has received its merited boom.
