The Lightning Mail Train.

The fastest time that has been made on
the Central Hudson railroad with the fast
mail train since it has been on the road
was that made with the eastbound train
Sunday evening by locomotive No. 1856 in
charge of Fred ii. Horstman, engineer, and
G. M. Wsdleigh, fireman. The train left
Syracuse fifty-seven minutes late, and ar
rived in Albany three minutes ahead of the
card time, the train having struck its reg
lar time at Schenectady. The run from
Syracuse to Utica, distance fifty-three
miles, was made in slxty-six minutes or
nineteen minutes faster than the regular
running time From Utica to Fonda, dis
lance fifty-one miles, the run was made in
seventy minutes, or eighteen minutes faster
than the card time. From Fonda to AL
bany, distance forty-four miles, the rnn
was made in fifty-seven minutes, or TWEEN
ty minutes faster than the regular running
time. From these figures it IS seen that
the run from Syracuse to Albany, distance
147J miles, was made in three hours and
eighteen minutes. Deducting from this
seventeen minutes lost in stops at Utica
and Palantine bridge and the 147t miles
are found to have been run in 1871 minutes.
This is not only the fastest time that has
been made with this train on this road, but
upon any road in the whole country
through which the fast mail passes.

The Last Interview of Murderer

Frost, the condemned murderer now
awaiting his execution in Jail at Worcester,
Mass, two weeks from Friday, held last
interview with his wife and four children
this afternoon. Frost maintained himself
with composure, spoke on general topics to
his family, but hardly exhibited that afTec-
ton or regard for wife and little ones
which would be expected from husband
and father. At the separation he was con-
sderaby affected but controlled his feel
ings by strong effort. He made no con-
LESSONS, expressed no sorrow to his wife
for anything done or said in the past, and
his evident purpose seemed to be to make
his family believe, as thus far he would
have every one think, that he had commit
ted no crime and was not a murderer.
Mrs. Frost showed the greatest sym
pathy and pity for her husband, spoke
with him in kind and Christian
manner, and in the two interviews
she has had with her husband,
she has not at all showed that want of
feeling for him or that revengeful spirit
towards him for the murder of her own
brother which was generally attributed to
her at the trial and to some extent since.
| The children were all too young to fully
realize their position, but of course their
extreme pleasure at the sight of their IA
ther was changed to extreme sorrow 1T the
departure. AS the time for the execution
draws near Frost seems more thoughtful,
but is not downcast, nor is his general de-
meanor altered. He alters in no essential
points the accounts he has previously given
| of the murder. Rev. o. NJ. Lamson, his
| spiritual adviser, was again with him
| Thursday, but thus far the condemned man
has indicated no wavering in his evident
purpose to die self-possessed and selt-justi-
| fled to the clergyman or any one else.

The Connecticut River Flood.

The river at McIndoe's Falls has been
rising with unusual rapidity since Sunday
night, and is higher than it has been before
for twenty years. The booms of Peabody
IL Co. broke three times on Thurs lay,
letting out several millions of logs, which
will probably go along down the river
Fears are entertained that much damage
may be done below by the vast amount
of lumber, some II 100000 feet, running
into bridges and dams and carrying them
away.
The new mills now building by Messrs.
Peabody & Co. at McIndoe's Falls, on the
site where the one belonging to the McIn-
dee's Lumber Co. was burned in the vim
ter, has one-half of the basement raised,
but work is abandoned at present on ac-
count Of the high water. When completed
it will be two stories hlgh 140 feet long
by 50 feet wide, and contain two rotary
saws, clapboard and shingle machines and
lath mill, with capacity of 1000, 900 feet
per month, the whole cost of which cannot
fall far short of $50, 900.
Several bridges across the Conn ecticut
at Lancaster, N. H., are reported in dan
ger, and b0Oms have given away and set
large numbers of logs afloat, The railway
track and the highway between there and
Northumberland are under water, and com
municatlon north is cut off save by telc-
graph.
At WELLS RIVER.
The river men say the water will con-
tinue rising for the next twenty four hours.
The paper mill dam at Wells RiYer, is ex.
pectod to go out every minute, which
will flood the village if it does. The peo-
pie are clearing their houses as fast as pos
sible. There will be no through trains on
the the Montpelier and Wells railroad.
The wagon road at Norwich is under
water and serious damages are reported.
AT wooDsviIIE, n. H.,
the farmers are losing heavily in manure,
wood, fencing, etc. The Ammonoosuc
river is falling slightly.
About half of Wells River is flooded
with back water. The people are obliged
to use boats in the streets. There are Sc.
rous washouts at Newbury, Mclndoes,
| Barnet, Pdssumpsic, st. .IOhnsbury and
Barton, which will take three to five DAYS
to repair
Thirty to fifty feet OF dump have gone
out on the Portland and Ogdensburg road
at Lunenburg, Vt. The trains on the Bos.
ton, Concord and Montreal road stop a,
South Lancaster, n. H., on account of the
| high water above thore.
AT a late hour last evening the bridge
between Charleston, N. H., and Spring.
| field, was impossible and was expected tc
| give way very soon.
At Bellows Falls the water is so high
that it runs even with the bridge, a very
unusual occurrence. A large haystach
went over the falls yesterday, holding to
| gether during and after its plunge.

Mrs. l.. Caldwell of New Haven ia still
confined to her bed, and is suffering from
the effects of paralysis of the right limb,
and other difficulties which yield slowly to
treatment.
Mr.. Willard Il. Bristol of Panton, who
was recently married to Miss Mary A.
Richards of Cornwall, has taken up his
residence at the old "Griswold place" In
Walihan, on the creek road
Mr.. Bel ,min f. Haskell, long a mer-
chant at West Cornwall, was stricken by
paralysis on Sunday last, the eth inst, and
is now suffering severely from its effects,
and his recovery is considered doubtful.
Mr.. Charles E. Wright, the first select
man of New Haven, died very suddenly at
his residence, on the afternoon of Tuesday,
May 0. He had been suffering for ten days
with rheumatism, but had not been consd-
cred seriously i'll until the Sunday previous
to his death. On Tuesday, DIR. L. d.
Woodbridge and DR.. w. s. Hopkins, of
Vergennes, were called in consultation
with DIR. Cullen Billiard, of New Haven,
his family physician. After careful ex-
animation, they pronounced his symptoms
hopeful. About half an hour after their
departure, he rose to his feet in distress,
and, falling back upon the bed, died almost
instantly. Mr.. Wright was in the prime
and vigor of life, being about 35 years
OF age, and was an active, industrious
and valued citizen, whose loss will be
deeply felt in the community. His funeral
was attended from his late residence on
Thursday, the 18th inst, where large num-
bers gathered from New Haven and several
of the surrounding towns to pay last tri-
butte of respect TO the deceased. Prayer
was offered by the Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, and
religious services were subsequently held
in the Methodist church at WeYbridge
Lower Falls, in the cemetery near which
the remains of the deceased were inferred.
Mr.. Wright leaves a widow, daughter OF
the late Major Gustavus V. Cook, of New
Haven, and a young son and daughter to
! mourn his untimely loss.

Death of Mrs. Gov. Fletcher.

We regret to learn Of the death of the es-
Unable aud esteemed wife of Ex-Governor
Ryland Fletcher, which occurred at the
family residence, in Proctorsvlle, on Fri
day morning Mrs. Fletcher was lady
whose many virtues and social qualities
commended her to large circle of friends.
All who have enjoyed the hospitality Of
her home have marked the dignity and
grace with which it was dispensed, and the
old-time courtesy which was rendered to
all her guests. The death Of the wife of
his youth who has walked 80 faithfully
and kindly by his side for half century or
more, will be a severe blow to the venera-
BILE ex-governor, who will miss the guard
ianship OF the faithful and beloved wife.
We tender our sympathy to Governor
Fletcher and family in this hour of their
overwhelming sorrow, and, weknow, thou
sands in the state he has honored join WITH
us in this expression of sorrow in the death
of dutiful wife, kind mother, and
Christian woman, who has made life
agreeable to all who came within her soci
ETY. and acquaintance.

The news of the promotion of William
II. Barnum, Connecticut's great absentee,
has reached Washington, and George w.
Hendee takes renewed courage. He asks
himself, 4" Can republicans prove more un-
grateful than democrats Can it be
"possble that the Connecticut democracy
can give so great reward TO William
II. Barnum tor being absent and not
voting, and the republicans of Vermont
pass me by, when 1, George w. Hendee,
can give him twenty-five, double dis
count him, and beat him every time at
" the game of being absent or not vot-
ing?" Aud the response from the third
district seems to be, that representative
in congress is desired to attend to the in
terests Of the Lamoille valley railroad, not
to be present in his place in congress, not
to vote on important measures, always
providing he is not unmindful of drawing
his salary, SO that the Lamoille valley road
may be attended to at the expense of the
United States, and without charge to the
stockholders, or the residents on its line
He only asks third term. Barnum got 8
United States senatorship. George w. il
modest, and should be rewarded.

The Raleigh SentineI-democratc-says
that sit is time for southern men to stop
making cringing speeches. They are the
"peer of those who hail from Massachu-
sets, Maine, Vermont, or any other
frozen puritanical latitude" The Senti-
mel evidently is not over fond of Blaine,
Frye, Hoar, Pierce and Joyce. 1t might
like Hendee and Denison better, if they
ever dared make their presence or senti-
ments known. If it were not for the first
district, it would never be known from
anything that transpires there, that Yer
mont was ever entitled to representative
in congress.
