DeRfh Of J. E. Lewis.

MT. J. E. Lewis died at the Insane Retreat, Middletown, ou Monday, where he had been for a number of months past. MT. Lewis was a man of inventive and manufacturing talent, and years ago had a rubber factory in Centerville, six miles from this city. He was called to Paris, France, where for twenty years he was superintendent of large rub Der goods manufactory. He returned to this city about two years ago and erected a resi- dence on Park street, near George. He was chosen president of the Carll Opera House Company, which he soon after resigned, and was supposed to be wealthy, but it is thought lost much of his money in unsafe specula- tions and patents. He had an office on Church street in Clark's building at one time, about year ago. He was a nervous, restless man in later life, and his health gave way under financial losses

The Coney Island Excursion-The Trip
 Probable.
 The captains of the various companies of the Second regiment met at the Union armory yesterday afternoon to consider and discuss the proposed trip of the regiment to Brook lyn and Coney Island in September. There were present Captains Spencer and Bannon of Waterbury, Captain Mix of Walingford, Captain Bacon of Middletown, Captain Thomas of Company D, Captain Loomis of Company E, Captain Arnold of Company F, Captain Tiesing of Company B. Captain Bren- nan of Company c, and Inspector of Target Practice Captain Allen. Colonel Graham presided and called for the officers to express their opinions upon the subject. Captain Tiesing, of the ''City Guard, " this city, fa- vored the excursion very strongly. Captain Arnold, of the ''Grays, stated that his com pany were not in favor of it. They had voted against the project. If, however, the reg& ment should decide to go his company would not stand in the way. Captain Thomas, of the Blues favored the trip, and Captain Wood of Meriden, discouraged it. Several other commandants reported in favor and against, and the subject was thoroughly dis cussed. No definite action was taken in the matter, but there is no doubt but that the excursion will be made and the Second will add another laurel to the many already achieved. The American band of Providence will accompany the regiment.

Churches for the Spfritua1ists.

The late Calvin Hall, of Somers, was pos sessed of mania for building churches for the Spiritualists. He built one at Williman- tic, one at Stafford, and another in his town which he deeded in 1861 with the land and horse-sheds to the society known as the Somers Association of Spiritualists, stipu- lating as follows: "This deed is upon the following conditions, which if not compiled with 1t shall be void: The buildings on said premises to be kept in good repair and ip- sured against fire at fair valuation by a good insurance company. The house to be used for religious meetings according to the usages of the spiritual order and for no other purposes except to be free for funeral ser vices and religious meetings Gall actual dam ages except natural wear to be paid by those using at the time committed) when not us ed as above and for occasional public addresses, subject to the approval of the committee of said association" :" The old gentleman felt very much grieved that his spiritual brethren in Somers did not have interest enough to avail themselves of his offer of paying half the running expenses for the regular worship in the church but instead the house has been unused for about eight years, except for two funerals. He once said in reference to the matter that he was under the influence of lying spirits when he bought the ground, built the church and gave it to the Spiritual Sckc

A Terrible Accident-A Frrctured Skull
 Others Iniurefa.

Sunday noon MT. R. H. Broas, proprietor of the Turner House, Danbury, was return ing from Kingston, N. Y, in a two horse team. With him were his driver, named Kelder, and Kingpain, a colored man. At 12 o'clock at night, while descending hill about mile long, twelve or fifteen miles from Dan bury, the pole strap broke, letting the wagon full on to the horses. They took fright and ran. Soon Kingpain was thrown out head first. Kelder was pitched out soon after, and MT. Broas soon followed and the wagon went on top of him. He crawled out and started after the others. The Danbury News says He found Kelder unconscious, and fix
 ing him as comfortable as he could went on and found Kingpain. He too was uncon- scious. He then started out to find house, which he did after two-mile walk, reused the inmates and then went back after the injured ones. They were taken to the house and doctor sent for, who dressed the wounds of the two men. Kingpain,s skull is smashed in and there is little hope of his recovery Kelder has a bad cut on the head and his condition is precari- ous- Mir.

..The Cruel CroyIiD9 Foor,

Robert Pontilio, Portugese fisherman, familiarly known as Sinner, is supposed at last to have gone to a watery grave. Sinner has frequently been the subject of an obitu- ary in these columns, but has always turned up alive and hearty after three or four days absence. This time there seems to be no doubt of genuine demise. Pontilio started for the Race last week Tuesday, and since that time no one has seen or heard of him. On Thursday last his crazy fshing-b was found high and dry on the south side of Fishers Island, rapidly going to pieces under the combined action of the wind and wave. Sinner was unable to swim, and it is supposed that he was knocked overheard by the swing ing boom of his mainsail and swept by the strong tide far out to the ''happy Island of Avilion.-New London Telegram.
